Chapter 233: Slow Combat (I)
After the Battle of Tripoli, the Germans and the British and French armies entered a more interesting period.
Having lost their base camp in Libya, the British and French armies no longer intend to spend too much manpower and material resources here, but they can't let the Germans advance too quickly, so they must also leave the corresponding troops as the rear of the palace. On the other side of the German army, although the British and French armies retreated quickly, it was taboo to rush forward and stretch the battle line too long, so the speed of progress was not fast. In this way, the pace of the war slowed down on both sides, and the war was more like a routine process - British garrisons, German attacks, British retreats, German occupation
"Today's combat mission"
Trood unhurriedly took out the paper with the battle plan from the file bag, and told the commanders in front of him about these things, although the current battle can be said to be quite boring, but it is not as simple as in Butna, and some battles still require some thought.
"Well, today is also a big task." Trode sighed, looked at the battle plan in front of him, and slowly shook his head. This one is actually marked with the specific combat time and completion time, which is clearly aimed at Trode. Because he took advantage of a loophole in time last time, the task that was unlikely to be completed was easily completed by him. Although he took advantage of the loophole in that document, he did complete the task "on time", so out of desperation, the rewards on this mission became more generous. However, in order to prevent the continuation and expansion of this phenomenon, this time on his combat charter, the time item was written in great detail, and Trode didn't have to think about it, this matter must have been ordered by Bad Mes, otherwise ordinary staff officers would not. I didn't bother to write such a precise thing for him in such detail.
"It doesn't seem easy." Trode scratched his head, thinking that his recent tasks had become quite awkward because of his cleverness, which couldn't help but make him smile wryly, but this was the so-called "God is forgivable, but self-inflicted sin is not alive", and he couldn't find anyone to complain about this.
And what makes him most uncomfortable is actually the reward in the final analysis. The rewards of the Trood team this time can be described as quite rich, of course, it is not all the credit of this battle, counting the previous performances, at this special time, they will be uniformly distributed. Not to mention commendations, just the medals, their squad has as many as 4 more. The gunners of Hans and Hilde, because of the night battle, carried out a novel and effective means of long-range strike. A new one-hop combat route was opened for the German armored units, so they were awarded a medal each. In addition, Alicia was also awarded a medal at the same time as being promoted to the first level for her combat merits, which were all second-degree Iron Cross medals.
In addition, there is Vincent, who also ushered in a new medal of his own, although this cannot be linked to this operation or even the recent operation, but it is a real proof of Vincent's long-term battle. It was an honor that Trode now could not hope for - the Wehrmacht Medal for four years of service.
Watching his teammates get honors one after another, while he was empty-handed. Not only that, but also received such treatment, Trode was not ordinary awkward, but even so, Trode still had to bite the bullet to do the current task. It's also because, in terms of military rank. Trode is still a little weak until now, although he already has a level that the average junior armored squad leader can't reach, but he is just a rookie on the way to advancement, so it is really unfair that he has a lieutenant rank.
And for this. None of his members had expressed any opinions, and Trode thanked them in his heart, or he would have put extra pressure on him. And judging from the current state of affairs, at least in the near future, he will spend time in the 47th Division, an elite armored division, and because of this, his pressure and room for improvement will not be small.
His friend and best rival, Derek, has been missing from his vision for a while, because the recent battles are relatively scattered, and the difficulty is generally not high, so it is rare for a few squads to work together to carry out a mission, even if there is such a required mission, it will generally be avoided or postponed, after all, it is the right way to expand with a numerical advantage and widen the gap between the two sides, rather than focusing on some strategic points.
Although there is less collaboration with Derek, and because the battle is too busy, the time is different, and it is difficult for the two to see each other even when they are resting. However, the communication between the two has not been interrupted, and through the exchange of letters, Trod learns that Derek's equipment has not been updated, but has remained the same as when he was in Aziziya. However, Derek's recent number of battles is much more than Trode's squad, and although he said that they are all fairly simple tasks, Trode understands that even if it is a simple mission, it is not possible to complete so many in a short period of time.
In the end, not only his opponents, but even the members of his own team have grown rapidly, and he is still almost standing still. This made Tlot want to take on a big task right away, but reality didn't allow him to do that.
Looking at the piece of paper in his hand, Trode couldn't help but sigh again. Sweeping his gaze, every step of the battle is written relatively clearly and unambiguously, and because of this, the uncertainty of this battle and the autonomy of Trode have become quite low, so it can be said that it will be a step-by-step battle. If you have confidence in your squad, it is not surprising to guess the specific outcome of this battle.
"What? Too simple to be interested? ”
A voice came, shattering Trode's own imagination. He looked up and saw Leona looking at him with a smile on her face.
It's all because of his sad expression, which makes the players see the jokes, Trode can't help but laugh at himself in his heart. And he is still the captain of the team, if he is not even interested in the task, he will not be able to convince the team members, so he hurriedly changed a more excited expression and said: "Yes, but I have fought such a fierce battle before, and this time we have a similar one is just for us to slow down, isn't it?" (To be continued.) )
