Chapter 817: Individual Weapons

That night, the First Battalion set off under the leadership of Colonel Slane and Qin Chuan.

At this time, the focus of the First Steps Corps was of course not the First Steps, but the ME63 they carried with them.

To this end, Qin Chuan also reorganized the troops...... In fact, Qin Chuan was reluctant to do this, because the re-establishment would disrupt the tacit understanding reached during the 1st Infantry Regiment's rappelling training and combat to a certain extent.

The problem is that there are always different players who are suitable to be operators, that is, sometimes there is no controller in a platoon, and there are five or six or even more controllers in some platoons.

In addition, due to combat attrition and replenishment, some platoons were too small to form three ME63 teams (8 men each), and some platoons were overnumbered.

As a last resort, Qin Chuan could only take a small break from the troops, transfer what should be transferred, supplement what should be supplemented, and then conduct several rounds of training to let them get acquainted with each other's new comrades.

Luckily, the German soldiers did it quickly, in part because they were all soldiers of the same regiment and were not strangers to each other, and at the same time they received basically the same training, except for the new recruits who had only recently been added to the army, they were able to adapt quickly.

The traffic at the front was exactly as General Hult thought, and the roads, although under the control of the German army, were not very smooth...... In the distance, shells were constantly blowing up in the direction of the road, and there was not a single one, and although the hit rate was very low, occasionally a few shells would hit the middle of the road.

This left the car wobbling all the way, and sometimes having to stop and find another way around, because some of the craters were so large that they would not be repaired for a while.

Occasionally, a dense burst of gunfire could be heard in the car, and sometimes a few bullets made several holes in the canvas...... It was the Soviet army taking advantage of the darkness of the night to carry out attacks on the German army's logistics, but because the German army controlled the nearby high ground and pulled up barbed wire to plant mines, and then installed searchlights to suppress them with firepower, so that these attacks could not effectively threaten normal transportation.

However, I still heard that someone was shot, because Qin Chuan got the report, and two soldiers of the second company were hit by stray bullets, one was killed on the spot and the other was slightly injured.

Coincidentally, both of them were controllers, which instantly rendered an ME63 team useless. Qin Chuan could only use the two ME63s carried by this group as reserve ammunition.

The whole journey was only 11 kilometers, and the troops marched for more than an hour to arrive.

After arriving at the front line, it was even more lively, the shells exploded nearby from time to time, and from the whistling you can clearly tell that some of them were mortars and some howitzers, that is to say, these shells were fired randomly by the Soviets without a target...... The Germans did the same at night, in order to prevent the other side from getting a good night's sleep, and it was possible that any shell could hit a dead mouse or something.

"Colonel, lieutenant colonel!" A staff officer came out of the darkness with a few guards, and he reminded Colonel Slane and Qin Chuan: "You'd better order your subordinates to move down the equipment immediately and drive the car somewhere else, otherwise this place will soon be covered by Soviet fire!" ”

In fact, there is no need for a staff officer to remind them, the soldiers of the First Steps Corps are already doing this...... They are veterans who know when to do something, and they can't delay at all.

The staff officer took Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan into the traffic trench, and then turned left and right in the traffic trench...... After a while, Qin Chuan, who didn't have a strong sense of direction, was a little dizzy.

This actually can't be blamed on Qin Chuan, if it's walking on the ground, it's okay, the things in the trenches are almost the same, except for the soil or the soil, the whole thing is like a labyrinth. Occasionally, a few wounded soldiers were seen, but they were quickly transferred to other places and could not be used as a reference point for remembering the terrain, especially since it was still night.

Therefore, the first thing a soldier who has just entered the battlefield needs to do is to familiarize himself with the trenches, otherwise he will not know where to run even if he escapes.

The two were taken into a civil fortification, and as soon as they smelled the stench, they knew that the fortification was left by the Soviets...... The Germans were generally more hygienic, and they could not have made the fortifications so stinking and smelling of vodka in a day or two.

It was only through the dark cloth that I saw the dim light of the kerosene lamp inside, and General Stryk and Colonel Albridge were discussing something on the map.

Seeing Colonel Slane and Qin Chuan coming in, General Stryk beckoned to the two of them to come closer, and then asked worriedly, "I'm glad you arrived in time, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel." I asked them for help...... In fact, it was General Laucher who asked for reinforcements, and he told me that our reinforcements were the 1st Infantry Regiment? ”

General Stryker was also unaware of the existence of ME63, so he was full of suspicion when he said these words.

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

"It's ridiculous!" General Stryk said, "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel...... I'm not disdainful of the 1st Infantry Regiment, but how could they do this? The First Legion was originally my troops, and they had my troops to perfunctory me! ”

Colonel Albridge explained helplessly: "Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has transferred a tank corps to intercept us, this is an elite tank force with many more T34 tanks than us!" ”

"I know, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

"So, here we are!" Colonel Slane replied.

"But ......," said Colonel Albridge, puzzled, "we need tanks, troops!" ”

Colonel Slain shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's up to the lieutenant colonel to explain this matter!" ”

General Stryk and Colonel Albridge turned their puzzled gazes to Qin Chuan.

"Let's put it this way!" Qin Chuan explained: "We have a new weapon that can destroy enemy tanks at a distance of a thousand meters or more!" ”

General Stryk and Colonel Albridge glanced at each other, but they still didn't understand.

"It's not a new weapon, Lieutenant Colonel!" Colonel Albridge said: "We have a lot of equipment that can destroy enemy tanks at a distance of a thousand meters or more, such as the 88 gun ......"

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "I'm talking about individual weapons!" ”

"Individual weapons?!"

General Stryker and Colonel Albridge exclaimed.

They are all rolled on the battlefield, and of course they know that it would be very important if a certain equipment could reach the level of a "single weapon", because this means cheapness and scale.
