Highway 700 is lined with lush forests, surrounded by military control areas, although civilian vehicles are not prohibited from passing, but it is absolutely not allowed to stay here at will, there are motorcycle patrols on the highway from time to time, once they are discovered, the illegal drivers must suffer a little.

It didn't seem like the road was very busy, at least Xu Jun and the others didn't encounter many vehicles along the way, except for the small group of army troops resting on the side of the road, and so far they had only seen two ordinary car transport teams. The trucks were decorated with the German car transport corner flag, the doors were painted with the GWF logo, and the carports were tightly covered, so it was not known what kind of goods were being transported.

Xu Jun was not interested in exploring these boring questions, and whenever the vehicles intersected, he would retract into the turret to avoid any unnecessary confusion, because the shiny tank alone had already stunned the drivers, and if he saw the Reich Führer sitting on the tank, it would definitely cause a car accident.

I don't know what went wrong, until they drove out of the military area, this tank did not encounter any patrols, in the eyes of others, this is obviously another miracle accompanied by the Führer, but Xu Jun judged that there may be his own reasons behind this, but in general, not encountering trouble is always a pleasant thing.

"Pull over." Xu Jun pressed the call button in the car and gave instructions to the driver. A Y-shaped intersection appeared in front of the road, from which a dirt road branched off and continued in a northeasterly direction.

Tank Four pulled over in front of a street sign, and Randolph leaned back from the cockpit and turned to look at the Führer standing in the conning tower.

"What's the problem? My Führer. Randolph asked.

The Reich Führer sat in the captain's seat, holding his chin with one hand.

"I'm wondering where we go now." Xu Jun didn't expect to really get rid of the big army, and at this time, he decided to simply indulge himself. He could have predicted that the rest would be a mess, and that he would be lectured by a group of generals and marshals when he returned, and that Werler would not let himself go in the first place, let alone Brauchitsch, who had been released in front of him.

"I want to relax and enjoy the German countryside before I get caught by them, can you help me make that happen?" Xu Jun looked at the members of his adjutant group with a sincere expression on his face.

"Of course, your wish is our mission, and we will do our best to help you fulfill it." Colonel Dogen still had the same grim expression, and the blood in his heart had begun to boil when he heard the Führer ask him for help in person.

"Yes, my Führer." Randolph grinned and raised his hand in a military salute.

"It is an honor for your subordinates, my Führer." Tysenhofen stroked his chest and bowed in salute, with a hearty smile on his face.

"Thank you, I'm glad to have you as a subordinate and a close friend." Xu Jun nodded slightly, the sun shone through the hatch on his handsome face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was particularly bright and dazzling.

"The Führer seems to have just said that he was a close friend... Captain. SS lieutenant colonel whispered.

"Definitely not you, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph." Dougan kicked Randolph viciously through the slit of the radio.

"From the road on the right, I recognize the path, which leads to Vinstorf, and there are many small lakes around, hidden among the trees, where I have camped, and the scenery around it is very beautiful, especially in the early morning when the fog rises, the light mist hangs over the lake, and it makes people feel like they are in an out-of-this-world wonderland." Now that the decision had been made, Dogen immediately took up his responsibilities, he had been here many times and was very familiar with the nearby roads and environment.

"General Weirle must have sent men looking for us everywhere, we have already exposed our whereabouts in front of quite a few people, and it is a good idea to take the small road, they must have thought that we would follow the main road to Berlin." Tysenhofen agreed with Dougen's arrangement.

"Huh? Aren't we going to Berlin? Randolph felt a little sorry that he still wanted to be in the limelight on the streets of Berlin, not every time he had the opportunity to drive a tank, and not every time there would be a Reich Führer sitting on it.

"Shut up, Randolph, and get this thing moving." Colonel Doagan was troubled by the fact that there was a gearbox and radio equipment between the two, otherwise he would have let that subordinate taste the sanctions from the SS colonel.

"Yes, Colonel, start now." Randolph quickly released the handbrake and put it in gear, holding the joysticks on both sides with both hands.

The tank Xu Jun is riding in is actually a brand-new model, and its overall configuration and performance are relatively close to the historical F2 type, and it also adopts some designs that are unique to the G type, such as the thickened commander's conning tower on the sidewalls and the monolithic hatch cover.

The car was designated the R-type, which is the first letter of Reinhardt, and privately Rheinsteel's designers called it the "Führer", meaning a special model designed specifically for the "Führer's tank regiment".

The R Type IV retained the hatch on the side of the turret, but instead of a single armored door that opened to the rear, the viewing window on the loader's side was eliminated, and the roof periscope was replaced by a roof periscope that could be manipulated inside.

The turret side door on the commander's side was eliminated, and in order to maintain the aesthetics of the appearance, an additional steel plate was added to the same position as the left hatch, and a set of rotatable periscopes were also installed for the commander to use when observing the outside world.

On the commander's command tower, the experts of Rheinland Steel also historically installed a set of periscope groups for this tank, the commander can see the 180-degree panoramic picture in front of the camera, check the angle parameters marked under the lens division, you can instantly know the direction of the target, this periscope can be turned at will to the front and rear two directions, so that the German commander's perspective has almost no dead ends, and it is difficult for the enemy to launch sneak attacks and attacks from the side and rear as before.

It's just that this system is more complex and sophisticated, and the top hatch must be closed when used, so it can only be placed in the storage box at the rear of the turret in peacetime, and will only be placed in the installation position on the side wall of the conning tower when it comes to combat.

Xu Jun believes that this system still needs to be greatly improved, although the performance is good, but it is too troublesome to use, in the complex situation on the battlefield, any delay and error will cause fatal consequences, if the operation and maintenance are too complicated, it is better to let the commander himself lean out from the hatch to check.

The No. 4 R tank is more like a test vehicle for new technology, on which German ordnance experts have stacked all kinds of latest developments, and perhaps the most impressive of them is the new muzzle brake installed on the 43 times diameter 75 mm main gun.

Originally, Rheinland Steel designed a single-hole spherical muzzle brake for the long-barreled main gun, which was both ugly and inefficient in the eyes of the Reich Fuhrer. Now, under the guidance of Xu Jun, Rhein Iron and Steel has made a decent double-chamber muzzle brake in later generations, which effectively reduces the recoil distance of the gun, and the disadvantage is that the muzzle shock wave may hurt the infantry accompanying the tank, but only need to modify the infantry and tank coordination regulations, and this danger should be avoided.

At present, this medium main tank, which has the advanced technology of the German army, slowly drove down Route 700, along a dirt road carved out on a verdant lawn, towards a forest in the distance.

"General, we're too fast!" Guderian's lieutenant grabbed the handlebar in front of the back seat of the motorcycle with one hand, and pressed the military cap on his head with the other.

"They have only passed ten minutes, and we will soon be able to catch up with the Führer." Guderian expertly shifted gears and then continued to increase the throttle.

"What are we going to do when we catch it? Sir. The adjutant shouted hoarsely against the wind.

"Stop that tank and ask the Führer to stop his game, we have more problems for him to solve." Guderian tilted his head and replied aloud.

"We're going to stop him before anything happens to him, he's on a mission to lead the whole country, and we have to make that clear to him." Klug sat in the sidecar and said loudly.

"I agree with you, Your Excellency." Guderian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Can you still hold on? Anders. Kluge turned to look at his lieutenant, the colonel sitting at the back of the sidecar, his hands clutching the spare tire under his buttocks.

"No problem at all, Your Excellency Marshal." The Major nodded vigorously, indicating that he was very strong.

The Tsundap three-wheeled heavy motorcycle roared forward, and the eyes of the armored lieutenant general hidden behind the goggles were staring at the road ahead, believing that he was on the right path, carrying the Führer's tank, and perhaps the next second it would appear in his field of vision. The heavy tuked raced through the Y-junction and chased in the direction of Berlin, because the speed was so fast that no one in the car noticed that there were two conspicuous track marks on the dirt road on the side.

"Go to the right, pay attention to the gear shift, you're driving a tank, not an ice cream van. Run straight over, it's just a puddle. The Dougan radioman's hatch leaned out of the hatch and commanded Randolph in a loud voice.

"I can see the way, sir, and I'm not blind." Randolph poked his head out of the cockpit and muttered his displeasure.

"Don't talk nonsense, look at the road ahead." Dougan mercilessly picked up the wrench in his hand and struck the steel helmet on Randolph's head.

"It's going to break, sir." Randolph shrank his head back into the cabin.

"If it's broken, get a new one, and make a sound anyway." Tysenhofen couldn't help but complain that this once innocent young officer had obviously been spoiled by the Führer and the guys around him.

"Hey, you have to notice that you're talking to an officer who is higher in rank than you, Major." Randolph accused.

"Thanks for the reminder, I noticed it too, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph." Dougan continued to clank Randolph's helmet.

"All right, don't make a fuss, listen, I seem to hear some bird singing." Xu Jun stood in the command tower, squinting slightly, although there was always a smell of engine oil mixed with exhaust gas in his nose, but being surrounded by green nature naturally made people feel refreshed.

"Stop and turn off!" Dogan picked up the wrench and struck the stop button.

"Like a cuckoo?" Tysenhowen poked his head out of the side door of the turret.

"Maybe it's grouse, I saw several grouse, my Führer, let's go hunting, and then we can go to the lakeside picnic that the colonel said, I remember with a folding stove in the spare box." Randolph happily suggested.

"How did I not know that there was such a spare part for the tank?" Dogen looked at his subordinates suspiciously.

"Because I put it in with my own hands." Randolph replied proudly.

"Bell!" The sound is crisp and loud.

It was the largest plantation area around Berlin, and few people knew at the time how many military institutions were hidden in this large jungle. On the map, Xu Jun's crew is now in the area between Vinsdorf and Rukenwald, where there are many natural lakes dotted around.

"Randolph does have a good suggestion, but I don't know if it's a game reserve nearby." Xu Jun rubbed his chin, Randolph's proposal really made him excited.

"There used to be a lot of hunting grounds here, and many of them were private territories near the west, but now that this area has been acquired by the state, I don't know if hunting is prohibited, so I guess there shouldn't be much of a problem. Because when I came the year before, I had eaten roast grouse from a nearby restaurant, and it was said that the villagers had hunted it from the woods. Dougan quickly replied.

"Okay, park the car at the edge of the woods, and let's go around the woods and see if we have any luck." Xu Jun patted the top plate of the turret and gave the order loudly.

PS: Things are going relatively well, so it was updated in advance, which is gratifying.

In addition, I still have to take a day off tomorrow, and I will send another notice tomorrow, so I hope you can understand.

By the time this time is over, the update will be back to normal. (To be continued.) )
