Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Among the veterans on the left, Sun Desheng stood up.

"Instructor Lin, I, Sun Desheng, am one of them!"

"it is good!"

Then, a sturdy little man raised his hand.

"report!"

"speak!"

"Reporting to Instructor Lin, my name is Fang Dalong. I used to work in the tank regiment of the 200th Division. I have the confidence to drive a tank!"

"Okay, you and Captain Sun pick the crew members!"

A well-mannered young man on the right also raised his hand.

"Instructor, my name is Qin Tian. Although I have never been a soldier, I drove my family's car when I was in Shanghai. Before the Battle of Songhu, I also visited tanks with my father and tried them several times. I want to give it a try!"

Another rich kid who joins the army? Not bad! Seeing that the great young people of the motherland are all determined to serve the country, Lin Shubing is a little excited. Each generation has its own mission. This is a good young man!

"Okay! You can choose your own crew members too!"

Lin Shubing, along with ten instructors from the training class, found Wang Meng, who was studying the expansion of the independent regiment, and asked for two tanks.

Wang Meng is now a landlord with more than 10,000 points. Isn't it a small expense to spend 40 points to exchange for two tanks?

Wang Meng directly exchanged two Tiger tanks, as well as the corresponding fuel and ammunition, in a hidden place outside the village, and drove directly into the vehicle training ground.

The special forces members used to learn how to operate the 99A tank, as well as some foreign tanks, these "antiques" they still need to get used to.

The special forces members practiced in the open space outside the village for about half an hour. The roaring sound of the engine had already attracted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

Li Yunlong looked at the huge tank, which was 6.3 meters long, 3.7 meters wide, 3 meters high and weighed 57 tons, and he felt like he was dreaming. Was this his tank company?

Originally I thought Wang Meng was talking about the Japanese's tiny tanks, or armored vehicles, but I never expected that they would come up with such a big thing right away?

Li Yunlong opened his arms and rushed towards the two speeding tanks. The driver saw the regiment commander coming and stopped, waiting for him to go crazy.

Li Yunlong touched and kissed the tank. The Mauser rifles, mirror boxes, and infantry guns that he had kissed before were all things of the past. Now, the two big iron lumps in front of him were his favorites.

"Mengzi Mengzi, which country is this tank from? How is its performance? Can it blow the Japanese tanks away with one shot?"

"Captain, this is a German product. It can travel at most 88 to 130 miles an hour. Its main gun is mm. If it is equipped with armor-piercing shells, it can penetrate mm of armor. The Japanese tanks can easily penetrate it!"

The Tiger tank's 88mm main gun had a range of over 2000 meters, far exceeding the 800-meter engagement distance of tank warfare at the time. Whether it was armor or main gun power, the Tiger tank could be described in only one word:

Far ahead!

According to the recollections of the soldiers of Country E who fought against the Tiger tanks at that time, the Tiger tanks' shells were like a knife cutting through butter, easily tearing open the front armor of their T34 tanks, let alone the Japanese's tiny tanks?

"Okay, okay, let me go up and have some fun! Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao, do you want to try?"

Zhao Gang couldn't let go of this tank that represented the strongest combat power on the earth. He didn't expect that the impoverished and weak China could have such good weapons and equipment.

"Then I'll try it too!"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang boarded two tanks respectively and sat in the commander's seats. They were ordered to go west and east at times. If they didn't think the shells were precious, they would have wanted to fire two shots on the spot.

After satisfying their desire, they climbed out.

"Instructor Lin, how is the training of the tank company going?"

"Report to the regiment commander, the theory should be almost ready. There are already two crews of soldiers who are confident in using real tanks. We will pull them over to try it out later!"

"Okay, damn it, let's get all the idle soldiers to come over and take a look. Our independent regiment has upgraded its rifles to artillery. Let them quickly bring more people over. We have plenty of good rifles and artillery!"

Soon, the training ground was surrounded by people, and the soldiers of the tank training class stood in the first row.

Those veterans who had originally suspected that the independent regiment had no tanks and were planning to drive cars had long since forgotten their original doubts after looking at the steel monster.

This is much larger and thicker than the Vickers light tank they used to drive.

Lin Shubing first opened all the hatches and let the soldiers of the tank squad take turns to go in for a visit, while the instructors of the special forces team gave on-site teaching.

Finally, everyone watched it, and Li Desheng, Fang Dalong, and Qin Tiancai took their respective crew members into the tank to learn, and also took a few laps around the training ground under the guidance of the instructor.

For safety reasons, the instructors were temporarily appointed as the tank commanders of both tanks.

Li Desheng served as the driver of the veteran tank, Fang Dalong served as the gunner, and the remaining two veterans served as loaders and radio operators.

Qin Tian served as the driver of the recruit tank, and his close friend Gao Bu served as the gunner.

After Lin Shubing had people set up fixed targets and shooting positions, he began to explain the rules of the competition.

"Attention, all vehicles. You need to drive to the shooting position three kilometers away, and then aim at the fixed target one kilometer away! Pay attention to safety. If you encounter special circumstances, you must follow the instructor's command, otherwise you will be kicked out of the tank company!"

Lin Shubing saluted Li Yunlong.

"Comrade Commander, we are ready. Shall we begin?"

"let's start!"

As a red pennant fell, the two vehicles rushed towards the designed position like roaring beasts. At the beginning, the veteran tank moved more smoothly and was one car body ahead of the rookie tank.

However, the rookie tank quickly mastered the driving skills, quickly corrected its direction, changed its crooked trajectory, and caught up in a straight line.

It took less than five minutes to reach the shooting position.

All the onlookers looked towards the shooting position through the dust kicked up by the tanks.

The veteran tank reached the firing position first, and gunner Fang Dalong began to aim and locked onto the target through the scope.

"Lock on the target, you can shoot!"

"shooting!"

With a "bang", the loud noise of the 88mm tank gun made the people in the car numb.

The shell flew out with a "whoosh" and hit the target straight on.

With a loud "bang", the instantaneous fuse detonated the high-explosive bomb, instantly creating a large hole in the target.

The rookie tank was not to be outdone and fired immediately afterwards, hitting the target with just as much accuracy.

The reason why the shooting is so accurate is that, on the one hand, the soldiers of the independent regiment are well-trained, and on the other hand, the main gun's trajectory is low, straight, and the projectile's flight trajectory is very stable, coupled with superior optical sights. It can be described in one word:

quasi!

"it is good!"

Li Yunlong couldn't help but cheer.

The two tanks drove back and stopped on the training ground, and the crew members got out of the tanks.

"Great! This time everyone has their own strengths! The veterans are fast and accurate, and the new recruits learn even faster. Give the new recruits some more time. I'm afraid you veterans will fall behind!"

Sun Desheng grinned and admitted defeat. The veterans fought the new recruits to a draw, which meant they lost!

"Sun Desheng, you are awesome!"
