Chapter 303: Simple Advancement

"Natel, in that bush at 1 o'clock, a high-explosive bomb test fired!"

Before the target was found, Trood had Natl shoot at the enemy's original position. The warhead went deep into the grass and kicked up a large cloud of dirt, which seemed to be a miss, but it was to be expected.

"Bell!"

A shell hit Trode's tank, hit the edge of the upper armor of the head, and ricocheted off. Although the shell flew out for only a split second, the smoke from the firing still completely revealed its location. Simply aim and destroy it with one shot.

In order to make sure that his teammates noticed the enemy's position, Trode still picked up the microphone and said inside: "Between the two trees at 11 o'clock, there is still smoke left, hurry up and knock it out!" ”

The three tanks came to a halt, and after a few seconds three shells were dropped one after the other, but there was no way to confirm whether the target had been destroyed. At this time, if it were the usual Trode, he would definitely let the team continue to have one or two rounds of salvos to increase the chance of destroying the target. But this time the battle was a little different. Since the troops of the two divisions had to carry out a roundabout and backward operation, speed was a very crucial factor, and light equipment and simplicity became a necessary plan. On the premise of maintaining combat effectiveness without reducing equipment, the ammunition supply will be reduced and carried. Since the supply of the entire division is not very large, it is even less assigned to each squad, although it is not yet the limit, but even if Trod usually eats more and occupies more, he can't waste too much ammunition at this time.

Before Trood could give the order to move forward again, at 12 o'clock in front of them, another cannonball flew in, aiming for the 'Tiger'. However, as if to mock the weakness of the enemy's anti-tank guns, the warhead was wiped off the front armor of the Tiger with a paint slightly larger than a finger. There was nothing to do at all, and even Hilde and the others in the car didn't feel much shock.

"12 o'clock!"

This time the direction was reported by Hilde, and Trode played the role of execution, although the sender and the command were different, but the actions they performed were still the same. Another high-explosive grenade was used to carry out a covering strike at the target site.

In fact, at this time, I have to say that the Soviets in front of Trood really didn't understand the situation, although it was the right choice to strike first and distance themselves from the enemy when defending. However, at this time, they are facing the 'Tiger' type, which the German military industry is proud of, and at this current distance, it is very difficult to face it with the German-made 75mm PaK40 anti-tank gun, let alone the small-caliber anti-tank gun they are using now.

Firing early only allowed them to expose their position early, thus losing the only chance they had to ambush these heavily armored tanks, and if they wanted to shift their position again now, they had to run the risk that the enemy would rush forward at this moment. Arguably. They have brought themselves into passivity.

However, if you only think so, you may still overestimate the combat level of these Soviets. Although it has always been rumored that the Northern Army is the last unit in combat effectiveness among the several corps of the Soviet Union on the Western Front, but in this operation, Trod really saw what the real lack of battlefield experience is, in this regard. Even the Anglo-French forces, which were routed by the Germans in North Africa one after another, were stronger than them......

"Bell!"

Another shell hit Trode's tank, but this time it was the same as the previous one. Apparently more off-target, it did not hit the hull at all, but knocked off an external steel plate on the right side of the turret. Although the damage to his car made Trode a little distressed, he once again discovered the enemy's location, and with this level of damage that can be repaired casually, it is simply a lot of money.

This time the shells. It was the shell fired by the anti-tank gun that fired the first time, although Trood's covering shot just now failed to destroy it, but it was also very bold not to change positions, but to strike at the same target in the same position, it should be said that they were broad-minded. Or is it really not at all combative?

Seeing this opportunity, Trod had no reason to be polite to the enemy, so they set up their guns directly in place and began to carry out continuous covering strikes against the anti-tank guns in two places. Although Trood is still more or less in the dark and clear of the enemy, the absolute suppression of the equipment, this disadvantage is not enough to form a climate.

"It's pretty well hidden!"

Natel grinned. Although they can't determine the precise location of the enemy, the 75mm high-explosive shell is not small, as long as it can hit any part, even exploding at a close distance, it can have a devastating blow to the enemy, but at present, the three tanks have fired seven shells, and the annoying two anti-tank guns are still powerless to resist.

Of course, such stupidity of the Soviets, the Trod they would not have allowed it to last long, and after two more rounds of firing, the enemy's anti-tank guns finally ceased to work. Seeing this, the two light tanks in the rear were finally able to move. In this way, five tanks, including Trood, were lined up behind them with a detachment of infantry. The task of the tank is to help the infantry resist the fire of the machine guns and make it safe to reach the enemy's position.

The following situation is so simple that there is no need to say any more. Eventually, the infantry pressed in front of the enemy's position, and although several of the tanks also used machine guns to strafe the enemy's position, the effect of this was limited due to the enemy's bunkers and trenches.

Upon reaching their positions, the infantry quickly burst out, ready to inflict further blows on the enemy. If you want to talk about the highlight, it is still the two soldiers who came out from behind the 'Tiger' style, they are obviously different from ordinary infantry, and they have a lot more burden.

First of all, the most obvious are the two dark green steel cans on his back, and the dark green steel pipe that he holds in his hand that is connected to the canisters through pipes. Although it is not the first time that Trod has seen this equipment, but in such a close situation, it is the first time to observe its use, for its power, although Trode knows that it is extremely fierce, but after all, because he has not seen it and lacks a sense of reality, this time it has become an eye-opening opportunity.
