You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

Wang County.

Having fought their way out of Bao County, Shen Wang and his group have arrived in Wang County.

In less than a hundred li, we will reach Shi County.

After passing Shi County, you enter Shanxi Province.

At this moment, Shen Wang and his group were taking a short rest in a secluded area on the outskirts of Wang County.

After all, they had just gone through a high-intensity battle.

Ding Zhijian, Meng Guanglin, and Sha Zhenjiang sat together. Although they looked tired, they couldn't suppress the excitement in their eyes.

"Brother Ding, Brother Guanglin...we...we really survived? And we even destroyed all ten of those Japanese tanks?" Sha Zhenjiang's voice trembled slightly.

He couldn't believe that he had actually escaped from the encirclement of 10 Type 95 heavy tanks.

No, it shouldn't be said that we escaped death!

It should have resulted in the complete annihilation of ten enemy tanks, along with the crippling of a Japanese battalion and a puppet army corps.

This result was something he never dared to dream of!

"Looking back now, when I saw those ten Japanese heavy tanks charging towards me... a dark mass, the ground was shaking... I already... already felt that I was doomed."

"But the result..."

As they spoke, all three of them focused their gazes on Shen Wang.

It was this man in front of them who pulled them out of the brink of despair time and time again, carving out a bloody path in a way they couldn't understand!

At this moment, their eyes held not only gratitude, but also a hint of awe, and even... fanaticism!

If it weren't for Shen Wang, they would probably have died more than ten times over!

Shen Wang's face was calm at this moment, and he was resting with his eyes closed.

"Open the system panel!"

[Ding! Military merits for this operation have been calculated—]

"hiss--!"

Shen Wang laughed.

"Destroying a tank earns military merit? Haha, this is a huge windfall! It's incredibly lucrative!"

This time, he actually earned more than 15,000 military merits!

With the remaining military merits from before, Shen Wang now has a total military merit value that has exceeded 20,000!

It reached a terrifying 25,000!

This doesn't even include the occasional Japanese soldiers we might encounter on the way to Shanxi Province.

If all goes well, it's almost a certainty that my military merit reserves will exceed 30,000 points by the time I arrive at my destination!

30,000 military merits!

What does this mean?

This means he can participate in 300 platoon-level lottery draws, or 30 battalion-level lottery draws, or 3 division-level lottery draws!

If you're lucky, you might get weapons and equipment for one or two divisions!

Of course, the "division level" here refers to a standard division, which is a staff of about 1 people.

The Eighth Route Army's divisions definitely don't count.

If Shen Wang chooses to exchange directly... he can even arm a "Type 59 Mechanic" directly from the system store!

The type that primarily uses the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, the Type 56 assault rifle, and the Type 40mm gun!

Don't forget, after safely delivering Ding Zhijian and the other two, you'll also receive a guaranteed SSR gold-tier reward!

Gold grade!

That's a reward equivalent to a battalion or regimental level!

If you draw a heavily combined camp...

"hey-hey……"

When he thought of something wonderful, Shen Wang's smile was harder to suppress than AK's.

"Master, what... what are you laughing at?" Sha Zhenjiang's cautious voice came from behind.

Shen Wang patted Sha Zhenjiang on the head.

"It's nothing, just thinking about some happy things."

Once we get back to Shanxi Province, we'll try to get some information out of this uncle who's a provincial number one.

On the other hand, we can't compromise ourselves in reality.

Standing up, brushing the dust off his clothes, Shen Wang looked towards the direction of Shanxi Province:

"We've rested enough, let's continue!"

. . .

"Giddy up! Giddy up!"

On the other side, Li Yunlong's cavalry company had been on a non-stop raid all day.

The warhorses puffed out white steam, their hooves thundered, kicking up a trail of dust.

By this time, the team had reached the border of Ding County, and both men and horses were exhausted.

Cavalry company commander Sun Desheng rode up to Li Yunlong, wiped his sweat, and pointed ahead to report:

"Commander, we're almost at Wang County! Our horses have been running all day; should we take a rest?"

Looking at the warhorse panting heavily, Sun Desheng felt a pang of heartache!

Li Yunlong reined in his horse and looked back, feeling the same heartache.

These are all his precious treasures!

He raised his binoculars to survey the surrounding terrain, then gave the order:

"Pass down the order: rest in place for fifteen minutes."

Upon receiving the order, the cavalrymen dismounted and seized the precious time to rest.

Wei Heshang, holding a water pouch, approached Li Yunlong with a grin and asked, "Commander, do you think we can really get back those heroes?"

"I heard they caused quite a stir in Beiping, even killing a high-ranking Japanese official! Goodness, I, Monk Wei, admire their audacity!"

Li Yunlong took a sip of water and wiped his mouth: "Nonsense! Anyone who dares to do this right here in the North China Army Headquarters' own backyard, can't be a coward, can they?"

"This guy's guts are comparable to our old Li's breakout from Cangyun Ridge back then! I really want to see what kind of god this guy is!"

"However, I don't know if we can get support. I heard the Japanese have mobilized throughout North China!"

"Damn Japanese devils..."

After cursing the Japanese and resting enough, Li Yunlong waved his hand and ordered, "Continue the advance!"

The cavalry company set off again, searching towards Wang County.

However, they hadn't gone far when the cavalrymen on scouting ahead galloped back, their faces showing tension.

"Reporting, Commander! A tank has been spotted about five miles ahead! It's speeding along the main road!"

"tank?"

Li Yunlong frowned, and his heart skipped a beat.

In this area where enemy and friendly forces are intertwined, the tanks that appear are almost certainly Japanese!

"Send word! Everyone take cover and avoid it! Our mission is to pick up people, not to fight a metal turtle!"

Li Yunlong decisively gave the order, not wanting to get entangled any further.

The cavalry company quickly used the terrain for cover, preparing to bypass the area from the flank fields.

But not long after, the scout came running back, panting, his face even more anxious:

"Commander! Something's wrong! That tank... it seems to have spotted us and is charging this way!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong's anger flared up instantly.

"Damn it! You think you're so great? I don't want to talk to you, but you're pushing your luck and chasing after me like that?"

If it were a large Japanese tank force, Li Yunlong would definitely try to find a way to evade it.

But if there's only one tank, Old Li isn't afraid at all!

"Commander, what should we do?" Sun Desheng gripped his saber tightly, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Wei Heshang chimed in, yelling, "Commander, let's fucking kill it! One tank? We can take it down with a grenade thrown by one of our cavalrymen!"

Li Yunlong squinted and quickly weighed the options.

The enemy only has one tank. If they make good use of the terrain and speed, they might be able to take down this tough nut!

More importantly, we cannot swallow this insult!

"Damn it! Do they think I'm made of clay? Order the troops to prepare for battle!" A fierce glint flashed in Li Yunlong's eyes as he made up his mind.

"Sun Desheng, take your men and spread out! Use that embankment and bushes ahead for cover. When it gets close, use grenades to hit its tracks!"

"Wei Monk, take a few men and carry that light machine gun of ours to that high ground to draw its fire!"

"yes!"

Sun Desheng and Wei Heshang readily agreed and immediately set to work.

The soldiers dismounted and led their horses to hide behind earthen slopes and bushes. They loaded their bullets and unscrewed the caps on their grenades.

The unarmed gun was quickly set up, its muzzle pointed at the possible location of the tank.

Everyone held their breath, gripping their weapons tightly, waiting silently for their prey to enter their ambush zone.

At that moment, inside the slowly approaching "Japanese tank," Shen Wang was observing through binoculars.

That's right, this tank is the Type 99A!

Ding Zhijian had previously observed Li Yunlong's cavalry company through binoculars.

I recognized them as one of our own at a glance!

That gray outfit of the Eighth Master was all too familiar.

Shen Wang's curiosity was piqued; this was the first time he had encountered a regular Eighth Route Army unit, and he wanted to learn more about it.

So, 99A charged toward Li Yunlong's cavalry company.

As they drew closer, Shen Wang suddenly smiled.

"This...this isn't Li Yunlong, is it?"

The person hiding behind the hillside, ready to make a move at any moment, isn't that Old Li?

Immediately afterwards, a strange expression appeared on Shen Wang's face.

"Judging by this... is Old Li preparing to fight the 99A?"

Honestly, you might as well just fight the brigade commander...
