Entering the tiger's lair to catch the wolf

  Zhuo Biao, who had been quiet for a long time, asked Zhuo Biao: "Uncle Biao, at that time, he and my father bravely entered the tiger's lair, grasped the first-hand materials of the bean war chariot. There have been legends about this in this area all along. The more than 100 workers who were rescued were all eyewitnesses..."

  County Director Liu said: "Yes, Old Gu is a heroic lone warrior of the War of Resistance."

  "Hey, don't belittle me in front of Biao Ge! I'm really insignificant compared to him. If you want to praise me, wait until he's not around, okay? These kids, sigh..."

  Zhan Biao burst out laughing: "It was that time when I was driving a cattle cart, and I first met the old ghost of Songshan. After that, we had countless dealings."

  Songshan no longer dared to underestimate Zhan Biao, this opponent. He took advantage of the Japanese headquarters gradually shifting its main forces to strike at the occupied areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, while adopting a major adjustment towards the Nationalist government with political surrender as the main goal. He suggested to Lieutenant General Sakai Naotsugu, commander of the 15th Division, to withdraw the wounded Kijino unit back for rest and send in combat-strong troops to garrison this area. Sakai immediately agreed to withdraw the Kijino unit and set up the headquarters of the elite 13th Regiment in the county town. The regimental commander, Colonel Minamoto, led two infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion into the county town with great fanfare. Two other infantry battalions were also stationed in nearby villages building artillery towers. Moreover, Sakai made it clear that Songshan had the right to command the troops of the Minamoto Regiment.

  Matsumoto's second move was to reapply and replenish with 50 special soldiers! Moreover, these 50 special soldiers all have extraordinary skills, they are all masters of various Japanese martial arts schools, and their quality is greatly improved compared to the previous batch of graduates from the military academy.

  This time, Songshan led the original 13 special soldiers and the new 50 special soldiers to enter Kao Shan town with an infantry company and a cavalry squadron, preparing to repair the artillery tower and build a stronghold. The 16 bean war cars also stationed in Kao Shan town, moving out every day to search for Zhan Biao's traces. For a time, the Japanese army swept through the surrounding areas, war cars roaming everywhere, burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds. It was truly a dark cloud covering the sky, with gunfire ringing out in waves. Especially the bean war cars were extremely arrogant, entering and exiting villages as if they were unoccupied, often knocking down houses, killing pigs and sheep, and shooting civilians. This time, the Japanese army became fearless because of the bean war cars, often having one or two war cars followed by a small team sweeping through the area. The new fourth army led by Tang and the guerrilla team led by Shan were chased by the Japanese bean war cars, running everywhere, because infantry weapons had no effect on the bean war cars, hand grenades didn't work, and guns couldn't penetrate them, suffering many losses. Fortunately, Secretary Gui's intelligence system reported the Japanese army's movements in a timely manner, allowing them to avoid danger repeatedly. Zhan Biao remained still for three whole days, practicing military exercises in Xiao Liang Mountain.

  The next evening, two Japanese sentries at the north entrance of Kao Shan village saw two young men driving a cart loaded with hay approaching, knowing that they were villagers going to work in the fields, so they didn't bother them and let them enter.

  The two men drove the ox cart all the way to the entrance of Mr. Yuan's house, ignoring another pair of sentries at the gate, and were about to move the hay into the courtyard. A Japanese sentry came over, patted them down, and waved his hand. The slightly taller one shouted while moving: "Is Mr. Yuan at home? The firewood has arrived."

  Yuan Bo heard the sound and walked out of the second courtyard. Seeing the two, he was shocked. The slightly shorter one smiled at Yuan Bo. Yuan Bo immediately calmed down and shouted: "How come you're just sending it now? Send some more to the backyard later."

  The taller one was Da Yuan, and the slightly shorter one was Zhan Biao, who Songshan had been searching for everywhere. Could Yuan Bo not be surprised? Because Songshan has been stationed here for several days.

  Zhan Biao and Da Yuan carried firewood into the second courtyard, where Yuan Bo hastily pulled them into the house and said anxiously: "You two are too bold, Song Shan will be back soon. Are Xiaobao and Xiaoyu okay? You must leave quickly."

  Zhan Biao said calmly, "Don't worry, Yuan Bo. We won't have any trouble. Xiaobao and Xiaoyu are both fine. I just want to take a closer look at the enemy's tank, think of a way to deal with it, and then leave."

  Yuan Bo continued to say anxiously: "I've been worried about you all these days, the devils are getting more and more vicious, and they're going to build a cannon tower in the town. The future will be tough. That little tank, you can't mess with it, today there are several at home, seems like they're changing lights. But how do you get close?"

  "Where did they park the war chariot?" asked Da Yu. Yuan Bo replied, "Under the big pagoda tree on Front Street, you can pass by there." Zhan Biao thought for a moment: "We'll drive the cattle cart over..."

  Under the big locust tree hangs a large bell, this was originally a small square for village meetings, now it has become a parking lot for Japanese tanks, six tanks are parked in two rows, more than ten Japanese soldiers are busy in front of and behind their vehicles.

  Two peasant boys drove an old ox cart closer, and suddenly the cart tilted, and the wheel fell off. Several Japanese soldiers burst out laughing, and Da Yu also followed them with a silly smile, while Zhan Biao stood beside him, looking at the Japanese soldiers next to the war chariot as if seeking help. At this time, he clearly saw that these six bean war chariots should be the ones they had taken pictures of that day, and the single-eyed searchlights in front of the cars were all smashed.

  The tank in front of him looked just like the one described in the book, 3.08 meters long, 1.62 meters wide and high, with a ground clearance of 0.3 meters. The body was covered with deep and shallow pits, some as deep as 8-9 millimeters, others as shallow as 6-7 millimeters. Zhanbiao could tell that the deeper pits were made by heavy machine guns, while the shallower ones were left by his own Czech machine gun. One tank's turret had 20 dense and shallow pits, which were made by a single clip of bullets. He felt a surge in his heart: one bullet could make such a deep pit, and the steel plate was only 12 millimeters thick in the front, 8-10 millimeters on the sides, and 6-8 millimeters at the back. What would happen if several heavy machine guns fired at the same spot at the same time?

  Another soldier was using a wooden mallet to tap loose the rivets, and the entire steel plate seemed to be prying up from the edge. Zhan Biao's heart moved again, if he first loosened all the rivets and then hit the corner of the tank accurately, wouldn't it lift the entire steel plate?

  He looked carefully at the very narrow track, if a cluster grenade was used, it should be able to blow it off. What about infantry guns? He also saw that there was a car turning around in the back, Zhan Biao knew that there was an 80-horsepower 4-cylinder air-cooled engine here, and slightly to the right was the fuel tank. There was a filler cap embedded in the body of the vehicle. This should be the weak point of the combat vehicle, how can we think of a way to get around behind it and open fire? What if you use a flamethrower to spray it here?

  He also noticed that there was a gap of more than one finger's width between the rotating turret and the hull, what would happen if heavy machine gun bullets could accurately drill into this gap in succession?

  As for the front of the vehicle, Zhan Biao knew that there was a master driving wheel, which was the pre-driven driving wheel of the tank. The power had to be transmitted through a very long transmission shaft to the gearbox and synchronizer in the vehicle body before it could reach the track wheels. If this master driving wheel is damaged, will the tank become paralyzed?

  Just as Zhang Biao was observing, a Japanese soldier with sharp eyes walked towards him. Perhaps it was because he looked too pitiful standing there foolishly, the Japanese soldier came over and put the wheel back on for him. Zhang Biao turned his head to take a glance at the number on the warhead of the tank: 122.

  When Da Yu was driving the cattle cart, a loud engine roar came over, and ten bean war cars returned in two rows. Behind the car was a cavalry squad, driving a group of rural youth. Songshan rode a chestnut horse to meet Zhan Biao.
