It was precisely because of this decision that Commander Fan obtained much more supplies than others. In addition to his own use, he was able to provide large amounts of support to other Sichuan Army units.

The Sichuan Army is indeed having a hard time. Having tens of thousands of pounds of meat can put more meat in the soldiers' bowls. With more food in their stomachs, they can fight the Japanese better.

Next, under the watchful eyes of the public, our tank troops officially began relevant tests.

When four mighty and domineering light tanks lined up in a row and slowly appeared in the sight of both the enemy and us, they immediately caused a great sensation.

When the soldiers on our side and the Sichuan Army saw that it was their own tank, they immediately waved their rifles and shouted towards the sky, the sound of which was loud enough to resound through the clouds.

Everyone mainly wanted to vent the sadness they had felt over the years. Since the war with the Japanese, the Chinese army has always been in a situation where its weapons and equipment are inferior to those of the enemy, and its ammunition is completely inferior. It has been bullied everywhere by the Japanese who rely on advanced weapons.

Now we can finally hold our heads high. Although there are only four tanks, it is completely enough for us. After all, the current situation is that what the enemy does not have, we have. With the help of these invulnerable iron turtles, the seemingly solid artillery towers of the Japanese have become extremely ridiculous.

One shot hit one turret, leaving the Japanese with no way to hide. Maybe their infantry could even follow their own tanks and engage in coordinated infantry-tank combat. This experience would probably be enough for everyone present to brag about for several years.

Moreover, when the Japanese saw that we played this trump card right from the start, everyone in the stronghold was scared to death. Many timid puppet soldiers even collapsed on the ground and couldn't even stand up.

After using a telescope to clearly see the shape of the tanks on the opposite side, the puppet army's battalion commander, Zhao, kept shouting, "How is this possible? How could there be tanks on the opposite side? How could there be tanks?"

If the Fourth Division had used 75mm mountain artillery before, it would have surprised him greatly, but this time it was a tank, which was really shocking.

When he was a member of the National Army, he was afraid of the planes and tanks of the Japanese, so he spinelessly became a puppet soldier and obtained his current status by betraying his ancestors.

But now he has to face this terrifying weapon again. How can a person like him feel?

Captain Fujita in the main gun tower turned pale when he saw this situation. The tank that appeared on the opposite side was not the ultra-light tank they were equipped with, nor was it a light tank. Judging from its appearance and size, it should be considered a medium tank.

This caused a big trouble. In fact, when the stronghold was being built, the experts in charge of the design had specifically emphasized that their stronghold had three fears: heavy howitzers, tanks, and airplanes.

However, when this view was put forward, it was met with a lot of ridicule, because these three aspects were where their army was stronger than the Chinese army. With China's backward troops, they only had some small-caliber artillery at most, and it was impossible for the above three situations to occur.

But who could have imagined that not long after this, their large stronghold would have to face the attack of armored forces. Is this the legendary retribution?

Fortunately, they were not completely in desperate situation. If you were to ask what weapon the mechanized troops feared the most, it would definitely be airplanes.

So he sent someone to ask for help from the regiment headquarters, and described the situation in detail, saying that the stronghold was attacked by tank troops and requested the dispatch of bombers for support.

However, this kind of thing is too bizarre. It is estimated that it will have to be reported to higher authorities. Some people may even think that this is completely alarmist and treat this telegram for help as a joke and throw it aside.

This situation has happened before. There are only so many planes nearby, and they usually only appear in large-scale battles, at least at the wing level or above. He is only a squadron leader. To put it bluntly, he is just an insignificant role to the top leaders. How could he possibly call for planes with just a telegram? He could only wait and hope that there was still time.

Fortunately, there were only four tanks on the opposite side. If we got close, we could easily blow them up with grenades. Moreover, their main gun tower was extremely strong and could not be completely destroyed even with the small-caliber artillery of the tanks.

Next, Fujita sent people to collect all the grenades of the puppet army in the stronghold, and prepare to tie them together to blow up the tanks. After all, when Xiao Guizi's melon grenade was designed, it was never thought that it would be used to blow up tanks one day.

Moreover, there were no other anti-tank weapons prepared in the stronghold, mainly because the Japanese had previously felt that they were completely unnecessary, and now it was basically impossible to find them temporarily.

The puppet soldiers in the stronghold also encountered such a situation for the first time. Their master exchanged powerful melon grenades with them for wooden-handled grenades. This was like exchanging golden eggs for salted duck eggs. They really didn't understand.

However, some puppet army platoon leaders and company commanders felt a strong sense of crisis from this incident. These scums are good at changing with the wind. Now that the Japanese ship seems to be sinking, many people have developed different ideas.

When our tanks started up, perhaps out of fear, both the Japanese and the puppet army started shooting at our tanks like crazy with their weapons. They didn't even care that some of their rifles and pistols couldn't reach our tanks at all.

However, our tanks did not advance quickly under the Japanese's rain of bullets, and stopped about one thousand meters away from the Japanese's bunker group.

At this distance, only the Type 92 heavy machine gun can barely reach it, and this is only possible with the bonus of the artillery tower.

Then, we heard a crackling sound coming from the front armor of our tank, but the thickness of our tank armor can reach 23 mm, which can basically ignore all bullets fired by the enemy's Type heavy machine gun.

Because the tank troops are the main players today and it is not yet the turn of the infantry, Commander Yun and Commander Fan have basically nothing to do, so they chat at the front-line command center and learn about the most advanced tank combat.

In addition, the military district headquarters had already sent a telegram yesterday stating that Captain Kong of the mechanized battalion would be in charge of this operation and that everyone else would fully cooperate.

Seeing this scene, Commander Fan asked in confusion, "Commander Yun, why aren't your tanks moving forward?"

"If you ask me, we should drive the tanks right under the enemy's noses, and then use the tank guns to target the enemy's turrets one by one, one turret at a time. That's the most exciting way to fight."

After hearing this, Commander Yun rolled his eyes and said:

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"To be frank, you and I actually found out at the same time that our army actually has a mechanized unit."

"When it comes to fighting the Japanese tanks, we do have quite a bit of experience. After all, we've fought the enemy so many times and have learned some techniques. But when it comes to using tanks in combat, I'm also a layman."
