Tony leaned against the canopy of the tank, looking boredly at the newly erected telephone poles in the distance. His troops were stuck on a road heading south, saying it was a road, but there was not even a decent asphalt here.

Here is just a rammed dirt road, and the tank units in front of it have passed, and already left two rutted marks on it that simply cannot be repaired.

Those who lagged behind, the M4 tanks that Tony had commanded earlier, did not have wide tracks, and the marks left on dirt roads were also ugly.

There was still some rain in it, and the mud was disgusting. The wide tracks of the T-72 tank stuck to these sticky muds, rolled up to the fenders and stuck on them, getting thicker and dirtier.

However, no one in the army cares about whether it looks good or not, so the mud just hangs on the fenders, forming a lump, getting bigger and bigger until the weight is too big to hang and fall down.

Then again, if it's really like the North Syris, with clean and solid asphalt roads everywhere, their tanks won't necessarily be allowed on the road.

After all, the expensive roads cannot be easily damaged, and most of the tanks rely on the railroad to maneuver, or simply walk to the side of the road, bypassing the important roads.

Ten minutes passed, and Tony's tank company still hadn't been able to move forward half a step, the tanks had all turned off, and some people had even left their tanks to go to the side of the road to see the workers who were laying the railroad tracks not far away.

It's a huge construction site, and at the farthest end are workers from the power bureau, who are erecting cables and telephone lines. These things are also predominant, so they start construction almost at the same time.

And here is a closer place where the railway construction team is laying the railway in a more primitive way. There are one such sections every few kilometers, and they are building a railway at the same time to save time on road construction.

The heavy equipment used to lay the railways did not have time to be transported so close to the front line, so the work of laying the railways here was carried out using the original methods of a few years ago. There is no way, sometimes things are so helpless.

A motorcycle comes with a rhythmic engine sound, and the two-stroke engine has a unique charm.

Riding was a young soldier with a conspicuous iron plaque on his chest, on which was the symbol of a locomotive, the outside of which had been stamped into the outline of an eagle emblem.

As long as you look at this sign, you will know that this young soldier belongs to the traffic command unit, and is responsible for the command of the road, as well as the guidance of the road.

He drove in the opposite direction against the waiting tank parked on the side of the road, stopped in front of another tank in front of Tony's tank, supported his motorcycle with his legs, and shouted to the captain on the tank: "The bridge ahead is broken again!" Sappers are rushing to repair! You can rest here for another 25 minutes! ”

While shouting, he raised his arm, pointed to all the tanks in the distance, pointed to his watch, and made a twenty-five gesture: "Rest!" Take a 25-minute break! ”

"What's wrong with it again?" Seeing the familiar gesture, the gun commander reluctantly got out of the turret, sat on the edge of the hatch, took out a candy and stuffed it into his mouth, and asked vaguely.

Tony smiled bitterly, and Menqing replied, "When the bridge here was built, there were no tanks in this world...... This big guy under our ass is an iron lump that weighs 41 tons, which bridge here collapsed if it didn't go up? ”

This is rarely the case in the core area of Irlanhill, where the new bridges are in most cases rich in carrying capacity. Not to mention the T-72 tank, even the heavier M1A2 or Leopard 2A6 can pass unimpeded.

However, once out of the core of Elanhill, for example west through Higgs and Veronza, or south out of Doson, it is not uncommon for such bridges to become overwhelmed.

After all, Iran Hill is only an empire that has risen for 5 years, and its territory is vast, so there are still countless places that have not changed, and it is still backward and barbaric in the old era.

"When those M4 tanks passed, the bridge must have been reinforced, and when it was our turn, it turned out to be insufficient...... You don't have to think about it to guess that the first tank goes up and the bridge deck cracks......" Tony said, taking off the communication headset around his neck.

The communication system of the T-72 tank is more advanced, the frequency bands are more difficult to jam, and the quality of communication is higher. Therefore, the mechanical and electrical crew was abolished, and the tank crew was reduced to 3 people at once.

Theoretically, the puppet empire's latest jamming device can't interfere with Irlanhill's newly equipped T-72 tank

"That's right." The artillery commander chewed on the sweet fruit candy, enjoying the special benefits that only high-ranking soldiers of the army can enjoy, and his face was full of happiness.

The infantry were not treated so well, and their food was much worse than that of the tank soldiers. In most cases, tank units receive as many as twice as many subsidies as ordinary soldiers. The only ones who can compare with tank crews are the front-line special forces under the General Headquarters of the Army.

But compared to other arms, Iran Hill's tank crews are actually just a tough role - not to mention the air force, even the navy has better food than them.

"Let's grab a bite to eat now! In order to catch up with the progress for a while, I must march in a hurry, and I want to eat the next meal, and it is estimated that I will have to wait until dawn tomorrow. Tony rolled over and jumped from the turret onto the hull, opened the stray compartment next to him, took out a can from it, and threw it to the gun commander who was still sitting on the turret.

Then he took another one for himself, one for the tank driver, and shook it: "Good luck, three cans of starchy meat...... Just right! ”

The T-72 tank has infrared night vision devices, which are standard. In addition, having mastered air supremacy, there is no need for light control, so the T-72 tank unit can rush at night.

In order to test the function of the T-72 tank in night marching and combat, so that the troops can get used to the mode of night combat, these days, the 201st Tank Division has also deliberately carried out several more night marches to train the troops' night coordination ability.
