Sharpen your sword before battle, even if it is not bright, it will still shine.
However, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. How could Shang Zhen, who is facing life and death without any training, have so much time to "sharpen his sword"?
Their company was only idle in the rear for three days. At noon on the fourth day, when Shang Zhen was continuing to practice aiming at the edge of the woods, he suddenly heard a faint roar coming from the southwest.
When Shang Zhen heard the voice, he felt that it sounded familiar!
Then he realized that it must be a tank!
He still vividly remembered the time when the Japanese tanks attacked them and killed so many of their brothers.
So he put down his gun and looked towards the southwest.
At this moment, several of his idle old soldiers in the woods suddenly jumped up and ran to the edge of the woods, looking towards the southwest.
As the roar from the southwest grew louder, soon a tank really appeared in front of them after bypassing a forest.
When he confirmed that it was a tank, Shang Zhen instinctively raised his rifle and even pulled the bolt very skillfully.
Shang Zhen's action startled Hu Biao, who had just arrived. He hurriedly said, "Little ancestor, don't shoot! That's our tank!"
"Ah?" Shang Zhen quickly turned off the safety of his rifle.
Shang Zhen's small movement made Hu Biao look at him with admiration, thinking that this kid's training was not in vain, his movements were quite neat.
At this time, the other veterans were already excited.
"We are going to attack someone!" Wang Laomao said excitedly.
That so-and-so is who? Of course, it refers to the great traitor Zhang Xuecheng, the uncle of their young marshal.
However, the Young Marshal had uncles and cousins who had the same grandfather and surrendered to the Japanese army and became accomplices. Although everyone knew this, it was not appropriate to call out Zhang Xuecheng's name directly, as that would bring shame to the Young Marshal.
"Haha, that person's life is in danger this time!" Zhu Kaishan laughed.
Zhu Kaishan's statement naturally resonated with others.
Is there any need to ask how powerful tanks are?
"No wonder it has been so quiet these days. It turns out our people are waiting for tanks!" Li Fushun also exclaimed.
Everyone started talking because they saw that what was coming was not just one tank, but four!
Shang Zhen looked at the four tanks curiously.
The tanks of the Northeast Army and those of the Japanese Army were of course different in appearance.
The Japanese tanks looked like small things, only about the height of a person, with the gun mounts on them looking like they had a small pointed top, just like the pointed hats worn by Japanese soldiers.
Although all Chinese soldiers were afraid of the heavy machine guns on Japanese tanks, this did not prevent them from thinking that Japanese tanks were really ugly.
"Wow, look how sturdy our tanks are. If the two sides didn't fire their artillery and collided with each other, our tanks would definitely be able to knock over the Japanese's little broken toys!" Another soldier exclaimed in admiration.
At this time, the four tanks were already closer, only about fifty or sixty meters away from them.
At this moment, Hu Biao, who was always steady and a little indifferent, suddenly jumped out from behind a tree, took off his hat, and waved it at the four tanks.
If the company commander set an example, what difference would his soldiers make? In an instant, the remaining men rushed out of the woods, waving their guns or their hats.
When they rushed out, the people in the tank naturally saw them.
The turret cover of the first tank suddenly opened, and a man who looked like an officer came out and even saluted them.
"It's all thanks to you. We have been suffering from the Japanese for a long time!" Wang Laomao shouted, although his voice was drowned out by the roar of the tank.
At this time, Hu Biao shouted "Salute" again.
They all raised their hands and saluted the officer in return.
Shang Zhen had seen tanks before he joined the army, but he had only seen them from a distance. But this time, the tanks passed in front of him and he could see them clearly.
He also became excited.
He was excited not only because we Chinese also have tanks, but also because he suddenly discovered that the Northeast Army's tanks had a small cannon in addition to heavy machine guns, instead of just a heavy machine gun like the Japanese tanks.
Shang Zhen, the new recruit, had no idea that the type of tank he saw from the Japanese army was scientifically called the Type 94 light tank, also known as the Azuki tank.
The Japanese army's red bean tank is actually an armored vehicle.
However, the Japanese invaders did not only have those small bean tanks, they also had tanks with guns, but he had not seen them yet.
Four tanks rumbled past. Shang Zhen was not the only one excited; the other soldiers were also imagining their tanks completely crushing the puppet troops.
"Damn it! The Japanese used just two broken tanks to beat us into such cowardly states. This time we have four tanks, let's see how we can deal with those bastards!" Wang Laomao cursed with his neck stretched.
The others naturally echoed this, as if they had already seen the four tanks lined up in a row and charging towards Zhang Xuecheng's puppet army.
It is a horrific sight when the enemy's tanks hit your own infantry, but it is a satisfying sight when your own tanks hit the enemy's infantry!
The tragic scene is the same, but the enemy will soon replace them!
The soldiers were so excited that one of them said, "Oh! What a waste of our Northeast Army's planes!"
"Can you chat? When everyone is having a good time, don't talk about those bad things!" The ignorant soldier was scolded by Wang Laomao just after he said this.
The Northeast Army's military equipment is among the best in the current Chinese army.
They not only had tanks, armored vehicles and cannons, they even had more than 200 aircraft. However, there was news that the Japanese army had occupied the airport after the September 18th Incident.
For this reason, how could the soldiers not feel regretful?
But the problem is that the order not to resist came from above. Who dares to criticize the young marshal?
The soldiers were still discussing until Hu Biao shouted, "Be on guard! Watch out for those Japanese from last time!"
Hu Biao's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on all the excited people.
No one did not cherish his own life, and no one was not afraid of the Japanese sharpshooter. Those soldiers who were dancing with joy also quickly retreated into the woods.
Shang Zhen pointed the rifle in his hand into the distance again.
However, he did not believe that the Japanese would show up. These days he was always practicing shooting at the edge of the woods. Of course, he did not want to be disturbed by those old soldiers, but he also had his own lucky thoughts.
How he wished those Japanese would show up so that he could shoot them. Even if he only killed one, it would be revenge for Gazi!
