The attack on Gibraltar was a major diplomatic and military operation, and it was the direction that Germany was working on in the near future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unfortunately, these have nothing to do with Wittmann, who commanded the No. 5 Leopard tank in a training camp on the outskirts of Berlin.

He was leaning against the hatch of the tank's turret at this time, looking at the hillside in the distance with his binoculars. That was the target he was going to attack, and it was the position he represented on the enemy's side during this exercise.

"Car No. 1, car No. 1!" Putting down the binoculars, Wittman pressed the throat intercom and called out to the command vehicle of his unit: "No enemy tanks found!" ”

Wittman's Leopard tank was still hiding behind a bush, and he could clearly see Tank 1 not far away, as well as bushes on the hillside in the distance.

From his experience driving reconnaissance vehicles in Poland, he guessed that the bushes on the hillsides in the distance might be camouflaged enemy fortifications or tank targets.

It's just that he really didn't see the enemy, so he could only truthfully report what he saw. But he soon added, very cautiously: "However, I suspect that the enemy is in those bushes!" ”

"Attack!" The commander of the company of car No. 1 ordered loudly, and the Leopard tank painted with the 001 number rushed to the side of the roadbed, revealing its trapezoidal turret with an inclined plane.

Soon, the second tank also rushed to the side of the roadbed, more than 40 tons of tanks, raised sand and rushed to the enemy's position, looking very mighty.

This is not a simple case of an invulnerable tank rushing into the enemy's position, you must know that a tank of this size and weight can bring an unparalleled sense of oppression while getting close to the enemy.

This sense of oppression is even more evident in the Leopard tank, a new tank with a design that is even more alarming than the old one.

The sides of the tank, most of the tracks and load wheels, were covered by side skirts, and the low body with a somewhat large turret gave this German tank a very modern look.

The huge mass and the tight skirt added a sense of heaviness to the Leopard tank. With the tracks rolling up dust and the engines roaring up the slopes, these Leopard tanks were much more powerful than any other German armored vehicle.

Even in this school, all those who have seen the Leopard tank, including Wittmann, take it for granted that the Leopard tank is the real German armored weaponry.

As for the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks that the troops were equipped with before, as well as the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks and the No. 38T tanks, etc., they are just another product. The only one that can be called a tank is the Leopard.

After more than ten days of running-in, Weitmann already knows the tank under his feet very well, and the crew members around him also know their equipment very well.

Duke, the driver, was very comfortable with maneuvering his tank, and after such a long run-in, he smoothly let his tank move forward, running over the bushes that had been used as a shield in front of him.

In front of Wittmann, is the artillery commander Karl who sits in his place? Wegener, who was looking for distant targets with his sights, carefully adjusted the angle of the gun.

On the other side of the turret, the tall Homan waited for an order to push the next shell into the chamber as fast as the gun commander could after firing the first shell.

The radio operator was a new face, his name was Ehoff, a young boy with white eyes.

As soon as he graduated from radio school, he was assigned to this crew, served and fought as a radioman.

"Commander! I didn't find the target! The gun commander put his eyes on the eyepiece of the sight and said to Wittmann.

Although the temperature outside Berlin in October has begun to get cold, the inside of the tank is still quite high.

The air was a little dreary, with only a little wind pouring in through the open tank hatch. Duke drove the tank over a slope and onto the same road.

It didn't take long for the tanks to rush up to the high ground, and a wooden target for a false target was pierced.

"There's no time for these sergeants to train here." Looking at the Leopard tanks that were climbing the high ground in the distance, the colonel in charge of this place spoke to his adjutant.

He pointed to the 10 Leopard tanks of a company that was simulating an attack in the distance, and commanded: "Tomorrow, everyone in this company will leave here." ”

The order just came, because the production of new tanks has been enough for 45 units, a newly formed tank battalion of weapons and equipment to be transported to the front line for installation.

The tank battalion was equipped with tanks and trucks, as well as armored vehicles at the battalion headquarters and combat staff officers who had just completed training.

Weitman's company became the first batch of cadets trained by the Armored Forces School to train more recruits on the front line.

Like dandelions, Wittman and the others are like a seed that flies to a distant land, to blossom and bear fruit on the front line.

By the time more tanks are deployed to the front line, perhaps only one platoon in a battalion will be a truly professionally trained crew.

They want to make sure that everything they learn is passed on to the troops who received the new tanks at the front. It's as if these units were responsible for teaching the rest of the newly formed armoured units to use their obsolete tanks 3 and 4.

This is Germany's military expansion, which ensures the combat quality of the front-line troops as much as possible while maintaining the rapid pace of military expansion.

"I still feel a little reluctant to let them go like this...... "The colonel said as he looked at the Leopard tank that had stopped in the distance with his hands behind his back.

He hadn't figured out why the Führer had met such a young man named Wittmann, and at the same time he hadn't had much contact with him.

He had been secretly observing Wittman, but he didn't even find anything unusual about the other party.

"In the afternoon, give them passes and let them report to the new unit." In the end, the reluctant-looking colonel decided not to consider Wittmann's question again.

Maybe the Führer just picked up a roster of the army, stumbled upon Wittmann, and then mentioned it with great interest.

It has to be said that this colonel is really a genius of reasoning - Li Le has indeed forgotten about Wittmann, and the Führer is very busy every day, so naturally he will not remember the name of a tank commander.

"Good fight!" On the hillside in the distance, the commander of the 1st Company walked up to the tank where Weitmann was with a smile and praised it.

In the attack just now, Wittmann's crew eliminated a total of two hidden enemy tanks, ensuring the safety of the entire tank company's flanks.

Because the enemy doesn't fire back at all, victory comes fairly easily. Standing next to his tank, Wittman smiled embarrassedly and said modestly, "Luck! I'm just lucky. ”

While he was talking about his luck, the colonel's adjutant came over, stood next to the commander of the 1st company, and said to the commander of the 1st company: "The order has come from above, and the colonel has decided to transfer you to the Eastern Front!" ”

"Transfer us?" The commander of the 1st Company, who had just been in contact with the Leopard tank for a short time, asked with a bewildered expression: "Because of what?" ”

"A new batch of tanks is going to be shipped to the Eastern Front, and you, as a teaching company, are responsible for training a new tank battalion." The adjutant glanced at Wittman as he spoke, and spoke.

His words made the company commander of the 1st Company stunned for a moment, and then he asked with some uneasiness: "Sir! We've only been training for more than ten days, so isn't it a bit too hasty for us to do a teaching company in this situation? ”

"There's no way around it." The adjutant spread his hands helplessly, saying that he didn't have a good solution: "Everyone here has not been in contact with the new tank for a long time." ”

Because they were the first batch of trainees, the time for which they were exposed to tanks was the same, and the time that the Leopard tank was in service was so short that it was too short to complete basic training.

Fortunately, these people who come to learn are veterans of various units who have won the battle results, and if they are new recruits, they may not even have finished memorizing the manual.

"Everyone is the same, only trained for ten days. You can continue your studies on the front lines, but you'll also have to teach other recruits how to use the new tank. As the adjutant spoke, he glanced at Wittmann with unconsciously curious curiosity.

"When are we leaving?" When the company commander of the 1st Company heard this, he also knew that the matter was probably settled, so he could only ask.

"You guys get on the train the day after tomorrow and go straight to Poland...... Walking with the tank is also considered to be an escort of these new equipment. After the adjutant finished speaking, he closed his folder, gave a casual military salute, and turned to leave.

Wittman stepped forward, looked at the back of the adjutant who had turned back and left, and after a long time turned his head sideways and said to his face, "Trouble is coming." ”

"Yes! Here's the trouble! The commander of the 1st Company agreed with depression: "We haven't learned how to drive this tank ourselves, and now we have to teach others." ”

"In a few days, dozens of tanks have been produced and sent to the front line, and the production speed of this tank is faster than that of No. 4." What Wittmann wants to say is that the speed at which this tank can be equipped is simply amazing.

He served at the front and certainly knew the rate of replenishment of tank No. 4. It seems that the replenishment rate of the new tank has exceeded that of the No. 4 tank. In his opinion, the pace of production of new tanks is really fast against the sky.
