Chapter 839: Könispel (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The crews of these two "Tiger" tanks were apparently highly trained and experienced tank crews.

This can be seen in the tactical maneuvers in which they cover each other's advances.

As mentioned before, the tank cannot or is difficult to aim at the target while moving, that is, it must stop and wait for the body to stabilize when firing, which causes some trouble for the tank to approach the target...... If you go forward, it means that the enemy can fire without fear of its firepower, even if it is the "Tiger".

Therefore, the mutual cooperation between the "tiger style" is very important.

When one "Tiger" advances close to the target, the other "Tiger" stops to aim at the target and covers it with firepower, and then alternates this action to cover the advance.

THIS TACTIC WAS EFFECTIVE, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TIGER'S 88MM GUN AND ITS 102MM THICK ARMOR WORKED, WHICH MADE THEM COMPLETELY ONE-SIDED TO KILL THE SOVIET T34, EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBER OF TIGERS WAS MUCH SMALLER THAN THE T34.

Especially when the T34 tank began to escape, it was basically practiced by the "Tiger" as a moving target.

Finally, the T34 escaped out of range of the Tiger.

Not out of range, exactly...... IT IS SAID THAT THE "TIGER" CAN STILL DESTROY TARGETS AT A DISTANCE OF TWO KILOMETERS, WHICH IS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE, BECAUSE THE 88 GUN CAN ALSO PENETRATE 80MM THICK STEEL PLATES AT A DISTANCE OF 2,500 METERS. It's just that the hit rate is lower at a distance, and the "Tiger" is not worth wasting shells.

(Note: The best shooting distance for the "Tiger" is 800 meters)

The crew of the "No. 4" tank turned the barrel to the other side, and the commander of the tank opened the hatch and waved at the "Tiger" from afar...... This was done for fear that the Tiger would mistake the Four for an enemy tank in a tense battle.

Of course, this is not very common, because the people who can drive the "Tiger style" are not the kind of nervous rookies.

Qin Chuan was right, the two "Tigers" obviously realized that they were their own people in the village, so they also moved their barrels to the side and slowly drove in.

Seeing the "Tiger Style" driving in majestically, the German soldiers couldn't help waving their hands and cheering, and even a few soldiers watched the "Tiger Style" up close like children chasing candy sellers, including Werner, who even reached out to touch the depression in its armor, and his mouth let out exclamations from time to time.

The two "Tigers" stopped in anticipation as the soldiers watched, but they never turned off...... This is an awareness that the armored forces must have, especially in dangerous areas, but also in the cold winter of the USSR.

Unless there is a serious lack of fuel, keep the engine running.

The consequence of violating this is likely to be the loss of combat effectiveness in an emergency due to the inability to start.

The hatch opened, and a scruffy and unkempt commander appeared in front of everyone, not even wearing a military cap...... This is the performance of a veteran, and if it is a new recruit, he will definitely dress himself up very meticulously.

"Are you all right?" The commander asked.

"Yes!" Werner replied: "You saved us!" ”

"Oh!" The commander looked around, shook his head, and said, "I was skeptical, and I thought so at first, but on the way here...... I said to Brigitte, we fucking saved the Soviets! ”

When the commander saw Qin Chuan, he nodded at Qin Chuan on the tank.

On the battlefield, tank crews were allowed to salute their commanders without having to get out of their vehicles, and it was dangerous to salute them.

"Sir!" The commander asked Qin Chuan, "How did you do it?" I mean, you're surrounded, but you can destroy the tanks that surround you, one by one! ”

"Ever heard of ME63?" Qin Chuan replied.

The originally arrogant and undisciplined commander's facial expression couldn't help but stiffen, and he unconsciously straightened up and asked, "Sir, you mean...... Are you using ME63? Are you the first step corps? ”

A tank commander "No. 4" shouted to him from a distance of more than ten meters: "In front of you is the 'legendary sergeant', sergeant!" ”

The "Tiger" commander couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly, and said to Qin Chuan: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel. I can't say 'nice to meet you' to say to you! ”

This made Qin Chuan a little stunned, and the faces of several of Qin Chuan's subordinates couldn't help but change, and there was a fierce light in their eyes, as if they wanted to pull this empty-eyed sergeant off the tank and beat him violently.

The commander was unimpressed, and he explained unhurriedly, "Because you are the only troops who can destroy the 'Tiger' type outside the range......"

As he spoke, the commander patted the armor of the "Tiger" and continued: "No one wants to touch their natural enemies, does they?" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

"What's your name?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Könispel, sir!" The commander replied: "I am willing to serve you at any time, and the price is only a pack of cigarettes!" ”

Qin Chuan understood the meaning of this, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to him.

"Thank you, sir!" After taking the cigarette, Könispel couldn't wait to take one out of it and put it in his mouth, lit it and took a few puffs greedily.

Looking at his appearance, Werner couldn't help but say curiously: "We are never short of cigarettes, and the Russians bring them to us almost every day!" ”

"Oh, you know!" "The Russians will also send us cigarettes," replied Könispel, "but only before they give them to us...... We usually already set them on fire! ”

The soldiers laughed again.

This kind of humor is in high demand on the battlefield, which will make them feel relaxed and go into the next battle with a good attitude.

At this time, several calls were heard from the tank compartment.

Könispel said to Qin Chuan, "I'm sorry, sir! We've got a mission, and I'm glad you're not my enemy! ”

As he spoke, he buckled the hatch to the laughter of the soldiers, and then drove out of the village in the "Tiger Style".

It wasn't until the tank disappeared from sight that Qin Chuan felt that the name Könispel was a little familiar.

Wait a minute......

Then Qin Chuan quickly thought, isn't Könispel the tank soldier known as the "King of Land"?

Qin Chuan couldn't help but look in the direction where the "tiger style" left with his mouth half-open.

The final record of this Könispel is said to have 195 tanks, which has surpassed the famous armored heroes such as Wittmann and Carjus.

However, for various reasons, Könispel has never been able to obtain the rank, honor and fame commensurate with it, so Könispel is also called the "uncrowned king" by later generations.

Qin Chuan didn't expect to run into him in this situation.
