  "There's only one company left in Ze Sheng. I'm stationed at the north gate of Zhuozhou, and on the way, I borrowed Li Baoguo's armored vehicle. Now we can eat those little devils." Gao Junping said while observing, "The armored vehicle is a good thing, Li Kewe really dares to do it, actually loading howitzer artillery on the armored vehicle, isn't this a tank?"

  "It was Yang's team that stole the idea from the Soviet Union." Nan Wei said with a smile. (When the German army launched an attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the Soviet army was caught off guard. The arsenal had mostly old equipment, and new weapons were in short supply. The military had just expanded, and its combat effectiveness was low. The Soviet army could only grit their teeth and fight against the enemy with inferior equipment. They mounted 122mm and 155mm cannons on tank chassis to use as anti-tank weapons. This was an astonishing innovation at the time. These self-propelled guns were not highly regarded for fighting tanks, but in reality, they proved to be correct. The main role of Soviet tanks in battle was to break through enemy lines, enter the rear, and destroy transportation lines, rather than engaging German tanks (unless the German tank corps came close). This tactic was effective after 1943, when the Soviet tank forces were not yet strong enough. Encountering German tanks would come at a cost, which the Soviet army was unwilling to pay. Instead, they directly targeted enemy logistics units, and even the strongest German tank units became easy targets without fuel or ammunition. The Soviet self-propelled guns had weak offensive capabilities (as they were originally designed for fire support), but they excelled in defense. 152mm and 122mm cannons could destroy any type of German tank from outside their range (and still, no tank can withstand a 152mm shell today). This led to heavy losses among the German tanks.)

  "What should we do now?" Li Baoguo looked at the busy devils, "We can only launch a strong attack."

  "Charge!" Yang Jie glanced at several people, "Our time is running out, I agree with charging."

  Gao Junping wanted to say something but didn't come out with it until later when he discovered the secret in the devil's command post, which left him terrified.

  "Li Baoguo leads his men to the east to annihilate the devils, Gao Junping leads his men to the south, I lead my men to the west, and Nan Wei brings snipers to provide support." The special warfare team has already entered the reserve area, ready for battle.

  The battle in the south began at the same time as the red signal flare was fired, and the battles of the outer attacking strongholds also started. Chen Zhihao gave the order to attack as soon as he saw the signal flare. Two brigades, with a total of six regiments, participated in the battle. The artillery tower could not withstand their firepower at all. One regiment's artillery fire directly hit the artillery tower, and one shot overturned the entire top two floors.

  With the support of Nan Wei as a sniper, the battle went smoothly. The special forces were very skilled in this rapid attack, with fierce firepower being one element, and the key was the coordination between team members. In groups of three, back to back, they moved quickly with guns, and the enemy's machine gunner had already been killed by the high-positioned sniper. Even those who dared to approach the machine gun were killed. The special forces' attack was very fast, and in less than two minutes, they rushed to the front of the enemy. The enemies who fought hand-to-hand combat were all solved by the special forces with their submachine guns. In close combat, the submachine gun was a good weapon, providing suppressive fire for the special forces members, without giving them time to change magazines. Without anyone engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, the Type 38 rifle of the Japanese soldiers was basically just a stick.

  Yang Jie and his men encountered no difficulties on their way, as Xu De led the team to unleash hellfire, suppressing the devils who couldn't even lift their heads. By the time they could, Yang Jie's team had already reached them. Yang Jie directly jumped onto the stairs, charging towards the devil's command center. He kicked open the door, rolled inside, and swept the room with his submachine gun, firing at anyone in sight without mercy. The soldiers who followed also frantically fired at every suspicious spot. They searched everywhere - cupboards, under beds, and inner rooms - until Yang Jie was stunned. In the inner room, right next to the bed, a detonator had been installed, with a devil's hand mere inches away from it! If they had arrived any later, if Little Lin hadn't killed the devil on patrol, if they hadn't swept the area frantically earlier, everything would have been lost tonight, and even the entire special forces team might have been wiped out here.

  When Gao Junping arrived, he was also stunned. At that time, he wanted to remind Yang Wei to be careful of the devils' plan to destroy everything together. With such a large amount of supplies, the devils might have left a hidden hand. If all else fails, they would burn everything to ashes. Carefully disarming the detonator, he wiped the cold sweat from his face and searched the house again, finally finding another detonator in the devil's closet. Along the wires, he found the main line leading to the supply depot, carefully cutting them off. Gao Junping sat on the ground, "Put explosives in all the houses, not a single one left, blow them all up! Be careful of devils hiding inside."

  Gao Junping's caution was correct. There were indeed devils hiding in the wall of a house, and they were blown to pieces.

  The battle on the periphery ended quickly. All five artillery towers were blown up, and the devils who escaped were annihilated by several times more guerrilla forces with strong firepower. There was a company that somehow got a flamethrower from somewhere, and as soon as it sprayed flames at the escaping devils, all of them were annihilated before other troops could even open fire.

  Only the Dragon Whistle is the most enjoyable. Since Gao Qiang borrowed the armored vehicle, the people of Long Xiaolong have not stopped discussing it, especially the 150mm German-made howitzer installed on the back of an armored vehicle, which is very curious. The special forces are able to disassemble and use most weapons, but they are still curious about this heavy artillery, surrounding the soldiers who borrowed the car, carefully asking about the skills used. The other four armored vehicles have been modified to varying degrees, such as replacing the original heavy machine gun on the vehicle with a Gatling gun, which was specifically dismantled from the devils' gunboat, and the bullets were looted from the devils' arsenal. Some cars are equipped with German 150mm cannons, which can directly penetrate the devils' concrete fortresses, making them a powerful tool for attacking cities. One vehicle is equipped with an 88mm anti-aircraft machine gun, which has suppressive power against both air and ground targets. The last one is the most perverted, originally the car's floor was welded to widen it, and two infantry guns were grafted on, which can rotate with the turret, the original turret was removed, replaced by two 24-style heavy machine guns, and a thick armor plate was welded in front.

  When Yamashita's convoy had just left the north gate of Zhuozhou County, a radar ironclad car converted from an automobile discovered the target, and all kinds of fresh attempts began to prepare. When Yamashita saw the red signal flare, he immediately ordered his troops to advance quickly, rushing into the pre-set position of Longxuanlian. The first shot of the howitzer hit Yamashita's command vehicle, and the entire command vehicle was blown to pieces. The cannon directly pierced a car, tearing the devils on the car to pieces, and the two infantry guns fired together, blasting the devils who got off the bus to hide everywhere. Without undergoing tank-infantry coordination training, the special warfare team completely relied on their special warfare instincts. The soldiers below told the ironclad car the direction of the devils, using the cover of the ironclad car to eliminate the devils. Faced with the front two and rear three ironclad cars, the devils were about to collapse, the artillery fire was too fierce, the machine guns were firing fiercely, and there were people following behind the vehicles, snipers had given up, it was just some special warfare team members' submachine guns that kept ambushing the careless devils. For the first time, they achieved a victory with fewer troops and zero casualties. With the help of the ironclad car, the team members were extremely brave, following the ironclad car to charge, pressing the devils' heels to pursue and fight, all the way to the north gate of Zhuozhou County, implementing extended artillery fire against the few remaining devils, and even firing two cannons at the north gate. Some team members had to try out the power of the cannon, and the ironclad car warriors also felt that it was not enough, so they fired two cannons at the city gate, one cannon shattered the north gate, and one cannon blasted down the city tower. The devils guarding the city were frightened and hastily retreated from their positions.
