Chapter 362: Routine Maintenance
"Quick, quick, quick!" On a vast plain, company commander Heinz, looking at his subordinates, said loudly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tank soldiers, it looks majestic, in fact, tank soldiers are the most bitter and tired, just like seeing a spider build a web every day, there is something to eat, no one sees that the spider actually has to re-learn the web every day.
Tanks, which are routinely serviced every day.
Now, Heinz's tank company is maintaining their tanks.
The five-person driving system is quite suitable, and five people to maintain the tank can reduce labor intensity.
Wittmann, as a platoon commander, was no exception, and at this time, he and his crew were maintaining their tanks.
Several people smoked a long cannon brush to clean the chamber.
The barrel has been put to the lowest, and it is in the state of depression angle, how long the barrel is, how long the cannon brush must be, and even more than a meter long.
This cannon brush is made of steel bar, and there is a ball of cleaning brushes in front of it, which is just stuffed into the muzzle, and then, several people shout the trumpet, stuff the cannon brush inside, and then turn it and pump it outward.
The moment the cannon came out, a puff of black smoke rose out, and those that flew out were all remnants of the cannon.
Although advanced propellants are used, there will still be a lot of gunpowder left inside the high-pressure tank gun, and if it is not cleaned up in time, then, the next time you shoot, it may explode due to excessive resistance.
One time is not enough, then stuff it in, a second time, a third time, until the things that come out of the cannon brush are clean, and then it is over.
A few people were sweating profusely, put the cannon brush aside, and then adjusted the tightness of the tracks.
The tracks of the tank are quite important, it is precisely because of the tracks that the tank can walk on the ground, and at the same time, the tracks are made of high-strength steel.
Even so, the tracks often have various problems, just like the chain of a bicycle, which needs to be adjusted after a long period of use.
It's not good to be too loose or too tight.
If the track is too loose, it is easy for the tank to loosen the track when turning, and if it is too tight, once it presses hard things, the track is easy to break.
In peacetime training, if the track is not suitable, it is at most an anchor, and on the battlefield, once there is a problem with the track, it almost means death. No one will ignore these.
Every day, after a long-distance attack, they have to carry out routine maintenance, which is related to their life and death on the battlefield!
In addition, it is necessary to check piece by piece, and if there is a crack in the track, replace it immediately!
At this time, on each Panther tank, there is a row of spare tracks hanging in front of it, which can be used as additional armor, and can be changed to tracks at any time when needed.
Changing tracks is a hard job, sledgehammers, iron drills, and serving together.
"The tracks are just right, you don't need to adjust them." The driver shouted to Wittman.
The tracks are just right, which is really good news, then, next, you can relax.
Lying in the back of the Panther 3 tank and feeling the residual heat of the engine is the most pleasant time, and now, there is only one last thing left, waiting for the arrival of the supply vehicle to replenish ammunition and fuel!
Here, it belongs to the Fuhuo Dawa area.
Not far away, the gently flowing Vistula River, and ten kilometers to the south, the encircled Polish army.
In the triangle of the Bug, San and Vistula rivers, the Waffen-SS pantry caught up with the retreating Polish troops and surrounded them.
But now, it is still somewhat difficult to eat these Polish troops in one go, especially after the offensive begins, there will definitely be a breakthrough of the Polish army, which is the most disadvantageous.
Therefore, they did not launch a general offensive for the time being.
At the same time, the battles of the past few days have frightened the Polish army, their cavalry is not an opponent of tanks at all, and their infantry is even more lambs to the slaughter. Having found that it was surrounded, the Polish army was desperately digging fortifications and moving to the defense on the spot.
So, it was a stalemate, of course, not for long.
The tank units that rushed all the way, after completing routine maintenance and refueling and reloading, will launch a general offensive tomorrow at most.
The Poles were stupid, if they had broken through with all their might after they had just closed them, they would still be able to escape partially, after all, the German tanks at that time were also weakly chasing.
Sitting behind his own tank, leaning against the turret, Wittmann silently lit a cigarette and smoked.
In between battles, taking a tight puff of cigarette is already the greatest enjoyment.
Not far away, he looked at the company commander Heinz, who was standing on a tank, looking around with a telescope, and now, Heinz was planning tomorrow's battle.
As a company commander, there are more things to be responsible for, and for Weitman, he prefers to rush up and kill the other party!
In the eyes of the company commander, Weitmann can only be a tanker, unable to be a more suitable commander of armored forces, when he becomes a platoon commander, after the company commander, it is more important to take care of the operation of the whole tank.
And Weitman, once he is addicted to war, it is easy to put this education in his mind, and Weitmann rushes up first, and behind, his tank platoon, also rushes up with him, which often evolves into this situation.
Under this impact, the Polish army often collapsed at the touch of a button, and Wittmann rushed through the opponent's position, and then turned around and surrounded the opponent.
In his eyes, the battle against Poland is as simple as that, of course, if he encounters a strong opponent, there are other tactics, and he is quite looking forward to it.
He was comfortably smoking a cigarette when suddenly, Heinz shouted: "Alarm, prepare for battle!" ”
Alert!
Just to the north of your side, where there is an empty space, there is a sudden appearance of countless dust flying, it must be an army marching!
The distance is too far to see clearly here, most likely a cavalry unit supported by Poland!
Alert!
At this moment, all the tank crews quickly jumped into their vehicles, and except for a few that were disassembling the tracks, the rest of the tanks were rumbling.
The advantages of diesel engines are fully displayed, quite fuel-efficient, and now although they are waiting for refueling, the remaining fuel in the fuel tank can still run dozens of kilometers, which is enough to cope with an unexpected encounter.
Wittman's tank, once again, rushed to the front, the tail engine rumbled, and Wittman's eyes were staring at his high-magnification sights.
What is it that came from the front? If it were Polish cavalry, they would have been crushed with machine guns!
In the field of vision, the target gradually expands, and finally, you can see the silhouette of the opponent, which is also a tank!
