14: Chapter 14: Type 99A Main Battle Tank!!!
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the weapon: Type 20 Rabbit Heavy Combined Arms Tank Company (Full Weapon Set)】
The moment the chime faded, an incredibly detailed list of prizes exploded into his mind:
【Prizes include:

...
When Shen Wang finished reading this list, he fell into a complete stupor, his mind gone blank.
"Holy crap!!!"
99A!
An entire full-strength tank company of 99As!
He originally thought drawing a "combined arms squad" meant he was blessed by the luck gods, but he never expected the system to hit him with a royal flush!
This wasn't just a dimensional strike anymore; this was wiping out the dimension entirely!
Never mind the 125mm 50-caliber smoothbore gun, the thermal imaging, or the laser sighting.
Let's talk about protection.
You have to realize, the 99A has reactive armor!
Although the specific data hasn't been made public, according to various speculations, the equivalent protective capability of the 99A's armor is at least over 1000mm!
What does that mean?
The Japs' Type 97 medium tank only has an armor thickness of 20mm!
As for those tankettes, they only have a few millimeters of armor thickness; they aren't even in the same order of magnitude!
Even the top-tier tank of WWII, the German Tiger II, only had a frontal armor thickness of 110mm, which is just one-tenth of the 99A!
In other words, the 99A's protective capability is in a league of its own in this era!
There is almost no weapon capable of penetrating the 99A's armor!
Unless you drag in a battleship and blast it with a main gun of 200mm caliber or higher!
As for on land, there isn't a single thing that can fight it!
Even if the Japs hauled in a 152mm heavy howitzer, they still couldn't penetrate it!
Unless they could produce depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds!
He had drawn 14 of these weapons, which could be called supreme imperial artifacts or sect-founding treasures, all in one go!
"14... 14 of them!"
Shen Wang felt his blood boiling.
Just as Shen Wang was immersed in immense joy, his expression control nearly failing, Ding Zhijian, who had been watching him from the back seat, asked cautiously:
"Mr. Shen, are... are you alright? Are you too tired?"
Shen Wang snapped back to reality, forcibly suppressing the smile that was threatening to stretch to his ears, and cleared his throat:
"I'm fine, I've rested well, I'm full of energy! We can get ready to set off."
14 99As directly maxed out his energy!
At this moment, the observant Meng Guanglin added: "Mr. Shen, we caused such a huge commotion in the city earlier; the Japs definitely won't let this go!"
"Although our vehicle is powerful, it's also a big target! I suggest, should we take the back roads, or perhaps head into the mountains to lay low for a while?"
Those capable of intelligence and undercover work naturally have sharp minds.
Their previous actions could be described as causing havoc in Beijing without any exaggeration.
No matter what the considerations were, anyone could tell with their eyes closed that the North China Army would definitely not let them go.
Shen Wang nodded, understanding this in his heart.
If this were a few minutes ago, he would have readily agreed; after all, although the Mengshi vehicle is fierce, its protection is limited, and encountering the Japs' real anti-tank firepower would still be dangerous.
But now...
Before the 99A arrived, I might hide, but if I still hide after the 99A has arrived, wouldn't the 99A have come for nothing?
Anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines—what's the difference between those and a poker in front of a 99A?
More importantly, drawing 14 99As from a Silver-tier SSR, then what kind of heaven-defying things would a Gold-tier SSR draw?
No matter what, he had to send the three of them back to the base in Shanxi Province!
With the 99A in hand, Shen Wang was full of confidence!
At worst, he'd just plow straight through!
Just as Shen Wang was preparing to bring out the 99As, he suddenly realized a problem.
He couldn't just pull dozens of tons of iron monsters out of his sleeve in front of Ding Zhijian and the others, could he?
Just then, the system sent a notification—【Ding! Detected that the Host has obtained large-scale units. Activating "Logistics Delivery" service.】
【The system can generate non-combat humanoid logistics units to transport designated weapons and supplies to the vicinity of the Host's coordinates and perform basic operations. Note: These units are only responsible for equipment delivery and basic movement; they have no combat authorization】
Tools?
Shen Wang's eyes instantly lit up!
The system was so thoughtful! It was like someone handing him a pillow just as he was getting sleepy!
As for the restriction that the tools couldn't participate in combat, Shen Wang didn't care at all; in fact, he thought this setting was quite reasonable.
Fighting the Japs has to be done by our own people!
Using tools to fight the Japs just feels like it's lacking something.
Immediately, Shen Wang said to Ding Zhijian and the others: "Wait a little longer. I have a 'friend' bringing some 'gear' to meet us. Once they arrive, we won't need to go hiding in the gullies."
"A friend?"
Ding Zhijian and the others looked at each other, even more confused.
Deep in this enemy-occupied territory, Mr. Shen still had friends who could bring "gear" to meet them?
For a moment, Shen Wang's figure became even more mysterious!
However, not a few minutes later—Rumble...!
The ground began to shake!
"Not good! It's the Japs' tanks!"
Ding Zhijian's face changed, and he instinctively reached for the rifle beside him.
Meng Guanglin and Ding Zhijian also instantly tensed up. With such heavy track sounds, whoever was coming was definitely no small fry!
"Damn it, the little Japs actually sent tanks to chase us!"
"What do we do now?"
The group instantly panicked.
That was a tank!
Although this combat vehicle was fierce, could it withstand a tank?
At this moment, Ding Zhijian said to Shen Wang with a solemn face:
"Mr. Shen, we will hold off the Japs, and then you quickly drive the combat vehicle away."
Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang also quickly chimed in: "That's right, Mr. Shen, you leave quickly!"
"We'll hold them off here!"
Looking at their expressions of readiness to die, Shen Wang felt a warmth in his heart.
These people... they were really cute!
"Alright, don't be nervous, it's my people!"
Shen Wang pushed open the car door, while signaling the startled and suspicious trio to get out.
"Your people?"
The three were a bit dumbfounded.
However, when they followed Shen Wang out of the car and looked towards the roaring in the distance—the three of them, as if hit by a freezing spell, instantly stood frozen in place, their pupils dilated to the extreme, their mouths hanging open unconsciously!
What entered their vision was something they had never imagined—a massive, imposing, power-filled—steel fortress!
That thick, long gun barrel, that heavy armor, that low-pitched roar... all of it assaulted the limits of their understanding of the word "tank"!
They had seen the Japs' tankettes in Beijing, and they had also seen the slightly larger Type 97 medium tanks.
But compared to this big guy in front of them, what difference was there between the Japs' gear and children's toys?
"Mr... Mr. Shen, this... this is your people?"
