Chapter 240: Procrastination

With a "boom", a shell exploded near Shulka's car, and a soldier fell to the ground and twitched continuously.

"First aid kit!" Shulka shouted, shining a black-clothed flashlight at the soldier who had fallen to the ground.

In this photo, Shulka shook his head and threw back the first-aid kit handed by the actor.

A shrapnel shot through the car's canvas broke the soldier's vertebrae through his back, and the broken bones were even visible from the body...... Not to mention any first-aid kits for such injuries, even modern medical equipment can't save them right away.

Shulka raised his head at the veteran, and the veteran and the actor carried the bodies to the front of the carriage, where two bodies were already stacked.

If they were lucky, that is, the 4th Tank Brigade would win the battle and return alive, they would be able to bring the corpses back.

The pale-faced Antipunov prayed for the dead people...... For some reason, the warriors, who usually thought he was a trouble, suddenly felt that such a voice was needed at this time.

There is a contradiction in this way of marching:

It is obviously dangerous to travel in a car...... The car had no protection, and the infantry was so dense that the enemy lying in ambush on either side of the railroad could knock a few of the soldiers in the car down with a random shot of bullets or shrapnel from a shell in the direction of the car, even if it was night.

But the infantry had to take a car in order to keep up with the tank, otherwise the tank had to slow down to adapt to the speed of the infantry.

It may seem safer, but it's actually more dangerous...... Because this will give the enemy enough time to prepare, and then they can organize artillery fire to blockade, cover and even organize a line of defense against the advancing tank units.

The British army simply slowed down the tanks to keep pace with the infantry, and it turned out that they were wrong.

The solution was to change the car into an armored one.

The armored vehicle does not need heavy armor, it only needs to be able to block bullets or shrapnel, which allows it to ensure that the infantry is not so vulnerable to enemy bullets or shrapnel when following in the footsteps of the tank.

Of course, this can only stay in Shulka's idea for the time being, and at this time the direction of Soviet armored vehicles is mainly reconnaissance rather than the transportation of troops and the coordination of tanks.

"How far is it?" The instructor looks out through the bullet holes in the car's canvas.

"I don't know!" Shulka replied: "Maybe it's almost there!" ”

Just then, gunshots and explosions rang out again in front of you.

Originally, Shulka didn't take it seriously, because it was repeated all the way...... March, fight, march again, fight again.

The only difference is the length of each battle.

However, they are all dealt with by the reconnaissance troops in the front, and the main forces in the rear do not need to worry about this.

But Shulka soon realized that the situation was somewhat different, as the gunfire in front of him became more and more intense.

Sure enough, the order was quickly delivered: "Get out of the car and get ready to fight!" ”

The fighters quickly got out of the car and followed behind the tank and spent half a minute checking their equipment, and then the tank drove up with a "boom", followed by the soldiers.

"Comrade Second Lieutenant!" Antipunov followed Shulka and asked: "I wonder what I should do?" ”

"What to do?" Shulka asked rhetorically.

"I don't know if I should kill or not!" "I asked this question before I came, and they said that I should find a kind and trustworthy person and let him give me advice......

"Do you think I'm a kind person?" Shulka was angry for a while, he didn't expect that Antipunov was still struggling with this problem at this time.

"Yes!" Antipunov replied: "You love your men, they all trust you from the bottom of their hearts, and I can see that you are risking your life to save our friendly troops......"

"Shut up, Comrade Antipunov!" Shulka interrupted Antipunov: "I just want to say, go back to your position, no one cares if you shoot or not. I mean, if you don't shoot, don't get out of the way, or you're going to kill your comrades and all of us, you know? ”

Antipnov nodded thoughtfully, and after a long time replied: "Yes, Comrade Ensign!" ”

And sure enough, he ran to the back of the group.

Shulka couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know if this Antipunov was too innocent or too stupid...... He didn't realize that the battlefield was a place where there was no room for mercy and mercy, otherwise, he would probably not be able to return to Kling alive.

The enemy's line of defense soon came into view of Shulka, a field fortification erected by a group of German troops.

Barbed wire, trenches, and there should be mines.

They apparently did not have time to construct anti-tank trenches, but they laid iron three-legged barricades in their positions...... These three-legged barricades were mainly aimed at tanks, and he had three pillars that were propped up from each other like shelves for a tent.

Of course, it's not that tall, it's only about a meter, with flat and sharp spikes at the top.

Such a barricade may seem simple, but it is very practical on the battlefield, because as long as it is swung at random on the position, there will inevitably be a pillar diagonally forward, and the ancient Chinese "horse repellent" is also a similar principle.

And then, if the tank is going to crush them...... Then the track will top its flat spikes at the top and form a top bull with the ground, and then maybe the tank will win, but the track will be damaged, so that if you run a few more, the tank will be paralyzed by the damage to the track.

The way to deal with it is usually to use artillery fire to connect them to the mines and bombard them indiscriminately, and then the wreckers come forward to clear a way.

The Soviets did the same, and with the order of Major Gavrilov, tank guns and mortars launched a fierce bombardment of the barricades, and in a short time the barricades were blown up in all directions.

But the trouble with this three-legged barricade is that it can still work even if it is staggering, so the tanks still dare not easily step forward to break through the German defenses.

"They're stalling for time!" Shulka leaned out and shot at the enemy while saying to the instructor: "I think we should report to Major Gavrillo!" ”

"Report what? Procrastinating for time? The instructor asked aloud: "The major will ask them why they are stalling!" ”

"I don't know!" Shulka replied: "Maybe they are preparing, or maybe they are waiting for reinforcements!" In short, we need to speed up the attack and advance! ”
