Chapter 10: The Girls' Team Enters the Village

"Oh, Brother Sun, just take a look like that, you don't need to apologize." Du Lili said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Sun, if you want to see this pack of cigarettes, are you looking for something?" In order to avoid Sun Hui's embarrassment, Ye Chuchu diverted the topic at the right time.

"Oh, I want to see if I can see the age on this pack of cigarettes." Sun Hui said, picked up the pack of cigarettes and looked at it.

Sun Hui remembers that when the Soviet-German war broke out, the Soviet Union did not manufacture Western-style cigarettes, only cigarettes rolled directly from paper. And the paper tube is half full. Even this is rare in war. The distribution of tobacco is usually managed by senior military officers. Pravda and Red Star are standard cigarette papers. Sometimes Soviet soldiers would tear books to roll cigarettes. German cigarettes were the best captured during the war, and many Soviet generals enjoyed them during the war, because the taste of Soviet "horse cigarettes" was similar to rotten wood. Someone commented: "The flavors that represent Russia are: leather boots, brown bread, cabbage, and horse-tobacco." ”

AS SUN HUI EXPECTED, THE CIGARETTE IN HIS HAND WAS A PACK OF GERMAN "ATIKAH".

That is, this pack of cigarettes was captured from the Germans by the former crew.

Sun Hui looked at the production date of this pack of cigarettes, which was produced in 41 years, and this information is still very vague, which can only mean that it is now 41 years later.

In that case, it should not be possible to run into the "Tiger" tank.

According to his understanding, not long after the successful development of the "Tiger" tank began production, on July 23, 42 years, Hitler, who could not hold his breath, ordered the "Tiger" tank to be put into battle, "Hitler is like a little boy who has just received a birthday gift, and he is about to take out his 'new toy' to enjoy it", but because of mechanical problems and terrain that is not suitable for heavy tank activities, the result is unfavorable, coupled with Guderian's opposition, Hitler was honest, and the "Tiger" tank gained valuable time digestion" solves various mechanical problems, and the corresponding training work and crew technology are also improved. After its terrible claws were opened, in the following year and a half, whether it was the "T-34" or the "KV" series, no tank and artillery of the Soviet army could compete with the "Tiger" tank, and the "Tiger" tank's impressive achievements made the "T-34 cloud" that had been hanging over the German army since the beginning of the "Barbarossa" operation completely dispelled.

Sun Hui remembers that at the beginning, Hitler put into the battlefield only four "Tiger" style vehicles, accompanied by the 1st Squadron and the 1st Squadron of the 502nd Heavy Tan Brigade, and the first combat site was the city of Mga southeast of Leningrad. No matter how much he and the girls have to memorize it, it happens to be 42 years now, and the chances of encountering the "Tiger" tank are very small.

But what worries him is that they are now in the vicinity of Leningrad.

Because the tanks they drove were "KV-1" heavy tanks, and almost all tanks of the "KV" series were produced at the Leningrad Kirov Machine-Building Plant.

"Brother Sun, do you see the era we are in?" Ye Chuchu saw that Sun Hui was silent, and asked softly.

"It should be the winter of '41, and the exact month is still unclear." Sun Hui returned the cigarette to Wang Linlin, "As for where we are, it should not be far from Leningrad." ”

"No wonder there are so many German troops here." Ye Chuchu sighed, it seems that she still knows some about the famous Battle of Leningrad in history.

It may be that Ye Chuchu didn't want to affect everyone's emotions, she didn't say anything more, but got up and opened the top cover of the turret and observed the situation outside, while the girls performed their own duties, Du Lili followed the road pointed out by Sun Hui just now, and drove the tank forward. Because it was a small road, it was inevitably a little bumpy, but her driving skills were obviously very good, and the clumsy-looking "KV-1" heavy tank gave her a very nimble drive.

After a while, a small village appeared in front of me.

"There's a village, but it's smoking...... Wang Linlin was very happy when she first saw the village, but the black smoke that rose made her feel ominous.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Ye Chuchu said in a deep voice.

"Chu Chu, load me with a grenade." Sun Hui said, her eyes staring at the scope.

"Okay." Ye Chuchu used his hand wearing thick cotton gloves to forcefully lift a grenade and load it into the barrel.

"Remember to load the next armor-piercing bullet." Sun Hui reminded her in advance.

"Okay." There was a hint of nervousness in Ye Chuchu's voice.

"Lili, if it's the same as the last time the enemy's 37mm anti-tank guns hit you, don't be afraid, just run over it, our artillery is mainly used to deal with the more threatening '4' tank." Sun Hui sensed their nervousness and said to Du Lili.

"Just run over it?" Du Lili couldn't help but be stunned when she heard his words.

"Yes, that's how the Soviet army dealt with the Germans back then, because the German army's 37mm anti-tank guns were too powerful, they could only deal with light tanks, and they were useless against the 'KV' series tanks, and the Soviet soldiers were also emboldened, and many people drove the 'KV' tanks with no shells at all to press the Germans' anti-tank guns, and I remember that someone used a tank to press more than a dozen German anti-tank guns." Sun Hui saw her nervousness and explained to her.

"Is that okay? Then I'll definitely try it then. As soon as Sun Hui said this, the tension of Du Lili and the other girls was really relieved a lot.

"Do you want to go into the village and have a look? Brother Sun? Ye Chuchu asked.

"Yes." Sun Hui replied, "Maybe there is an ambush enemy in the village, everyone should be careful." ”

At this time, Sun Hui, for some reason, felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

The tank "KV-1" picked up speed and drove to the entrance of the village.

At this moment, suddenly, a little Russian boy appeared in the middle of the road and blocked the tank's path.

Ye Chuchu was stunned for a moment, only to see the little Russian boy saying something loudly in Russian, waving his arms vigorously, as if to warn.

"Brother Sun, can you understand what he said?" Ye Chuchu asked Sun Hui.

Sun Hui is also very helpless, he only knows a little English, and he can speak Russian.

"He was warning us that there was an ambush set up by the German fascists in the village." Wang Linlin said, "That's probably what it means. She got up, poked her head out, and gestured to the little boy in Russian, which she was not very proficient in.

"Linlin, do you know Russian? I've never heard you say that before. Ye Chuchu said in surprise.

"My dad went to Russia for business, and my mom and I went to St. Petersburg with him for a year and knew very little Russian." Wang Linlin replied.

"Linlin, you ask him, is there a German tank in the village?" Sun Hui said.
