"I'm Trode, the squad leader of the tank unit that supported your operation this time." Trode said as he stretched his right hand forward.

Standing across from him was a second lieutenant in a steel helmet, and if it weren't for the epaulettes on his body that he was an officer, it would have been normal to think of him as an ordinary soldier.

He also handed his hand out, shook Trode's hand, and said with a little embarrassment on his face: "I'm really sorry, I didn't hear that you could rush to help, this retreat has caused you a lot of trouble." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Trood waved his hand, and although Trode was still quite critical of him at first, he asked himself that when he sat in this position, he would give the same order.

"No, we heard that information, but I didn't believe it." The officer pointed to a soldier beside him who was looking out, and he continued: "I was the one who answered the phone, and he was right next to me, and after the phone line was blown up, he said that someone would come to support, but I didn't believe him at the time, and I caused the situation now." ”

"Although this comforting word is indeed inappropriate for me to say." Trowder's face was slightly calm, and he slowly spoke: "But the matter has come to this point, and the only thing we can do is to retake the position. ”

"Yes!" The officer gritted his teeth and said, "From the moment I threw my hat away, I didn't expect to be able to sit in this position again, but at least this team can't suffer such a great disgrace in my hands!" ”

Seeing his momentum coming up, Trode cut straight to the point and said, "Okay, how many individual anti-tank weapons do you have left?" ”

"There are really a lot of these, just now I ordered half of the troops to retreat first, but because there are no large vehicles, they didn't take much ammunition with them, and most of them still stay with us." Although this was encouraging news, there was no relief on the officer's face. He continued, "But if we keep going, we won't be able to carry much, after all, that thing is not light. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a few large pieces on the side of the table, which was the Type 24 cluster grenade, the main anti-tank weapon of the German infantry, different from the British anti-tank gun, this thing has a range of only a few meters, but it is quite powerful, against ordinary armored units. As long as you hit the weakness, you can make it reimbursement.

"It's a bit reluctant, but each infantry has to carry at least one or two cluster grenades." Trode bit his lower lip with his upper teeth, thought for a moment, and said, "Are there many British infantry in the buildings on both sides of the street?" ”

The officer closed his eyes and thought for three seconds before he spoke, "I'm not sure, but the speed of their advance probably doesn't allow them to do so, and their main force should still be on the streets." ”

Trood pointed to a row of buildings outside and said, "Tell your people, take over the buildings on both sides as fast as you can." Hit as far as you can, at least for now, or my squad will be too passive. ”

"Okay, I'll give the order now." The officer called his adjutant. He said: "Let everyone take two cluster grenades and advance along the street, leaving the enemy on the avenue alone and grabbing the building first." Push forward as much as you can. ”

"Wait a minute, my team will follow you, and we'll attack alternately." "I reckon that the enemy's reinforcements will come soon, when they come," Trode instructed. We're going to retreat tactically, and you'll throw the cluster grenades from the upper floors when you see the opportunity, and you'll have to take advantage of the moment. ”

"No problem!" The officer nodded vigorously, then picked up a broken wooden pole beside him and followed: "I will use the red flag to signal to you, where there is a flag, we have already assembled the location." ”

The officer lifted the broken wooden stick, and the end that was still under the table was lifted up a red signal flag, but there were many small bullet holes on the flag, which proved that it had also suffered a heavy battle.

"Okay, then it's fine." Trode ended the conversation first, and just wanted to leave, but then turned around and asked, "Do you have a smoke bomb here?" Borrow two of me, or it's a bit of a hassle to go back. ”

"This one has!" After the officer had finished speaking, he ordered his men to start searching for smoke grenades in the munitions box in the corner, and in a few moments, one of the soldiers handed Trode two metal canisters.

Although the smoke grenades are not heavy, they are not small, and fortunately, Trode has no other equipment on his body except for those few magazines, and it will not take up too much space with these two canisters.

"Then I'll go first." Trood waved his hand at the officer and walked out, and the officer didn't say anything to say goodbye or farewell, but silently watched as he left the building

Trode ran to the nearest cover, looked at the position of his team, it was not too far away, but there was still a certain risk in running directly over, he took out the smoke bomb he was about to come over just now, and said with a smile: "Come on, try this." ”

"Ding! "Smoke grenades were thrown to the ground with a crisp metal crashing sound, and then the pyrotechnic powder inside began to burn, producing smoke and making noises at the same time, creating cover for Trode's actions.

"Holy!" When Trode saw the gradually thickening smoke, not only did he not have the slightest joy, but he scolded loudly, because this smoke bomb was really a pit father, and the soldier handed him a red smoke bomb!

The red smoke slowly rose, and the eyes of the enemy on the opposite side certainly did not let go of this conspicuous detail, and the dense machine-gun fire began to strafe Trod, and Trod behind the stone bunker was temporarily unhindered, but it also blocked the way forward.

Trode gritted his teeth angrily and said angrily: "It's really not enough to succeed and more than to fail, why am I soft-hearted and didn't scold him to his face?" ”

"Since there is no drama here, there is only one way back." Trood slumped back the way he came, and after a long lap, finally reached the back of another cover, but this one was farther away from his team than the previous one, but it wasn't too difficult.

Trode took out another metal canister from his pocket, gritted his teeth, and said, "If this smoke bomb is bright again, I have to sue him to court-martial!" (To be continued......)
