Chapter 468: Quiet Action (I)
At this time, the two armies were in a period of fierce fighting, although the Soviet army was numerous, but the defense outside the front line was really not tight, and even only a little stronger than the rear of the German army due to the disadvantage of numbers, which also made Trode's initial action not difficult.
Since it was spring, it wasn't too early to dawn, so Trode and the others still had more time to act, but if you compare this time to their tedious mission conditions, they actually didn't have time to waste.
While on the way, Trode also noticed that compared to the various equipment carried by his team like a camel team, the first team actually carried a lot more equipment, and Trode also knew that this was the common armament of the first team, that is, equipment that was detailed to the tooth level.
In addition, Trood also used his spare time to learn about the FG-1250 Sparrowhawk from Paulus, after all, driven by curiosity, he paid no less attention to this equipment than the mission itself.
Paulus then briefed Trode about the equipment. First of all, he mentioned to Trood and others that Hans did not mention an important function of the FG-1250 'Sparrowhawk', that is, the commander can use it to aim, so that it can directly attack enemy units in the distance, and in addition, the FG-1250 'Sparrowhawk' also has a fatal drawback, its scope cannot zoom, and the bumps generated during the vehicle's movement will have a greater impact on the objects in the mirror, so it is not suitable for use in pursuit warfare. In addition, the current cost of this device is not low, and it is easy to break, so it is not carried in ordinary tasks, because it needs to be connected to the circuit. Dismantling is also not a simple project. Moreover, this equipment is still being tested, and there are only five such equipment in the entire 47th Division, two of which are in the first squad. Now, every time they use the equipment, they have to write at least one specific report. In order to facilitate the subsequent debugging and modification of the rear according to this information.
After listening to Paulus's words, Trode couldn't help but sigh, it seems that good things really have troubles, and this kind of thing is also quite scarce, even if an elite armored division like them is only equipped with only five, which can understand why Trode knows nothing about this equipment although he is a squad leader.
While the equipment itself is tempting, there are so many drawbacks to hearing about it. And every time he used it, he had to write a long report, and Trode was a little unmotivated, and he thought that if a daredevil, like himself, damaged such equipment, he really didn't know how to face Buttermes at that time.
"Around 300 meters in the direction of two o'clock, a patrol group of two T-26S was spotted."
"The whole team shifted thirty degrees to the left, maintaining the original speed."
It was the first time Trood had heard about the enemy tonight, and he poked his head out of the car, not to mention the enemy. In such a dark jungle, even the first squad in front. He couldn't see it all. At this point, he thought about how difficult their mission would have been without the help of the FG-1250 Sparrowhawk.
"Around 250 meters in the direction of eleven o'clock, an infantry patrol squad was spotted."
"Keep the original direction, the whole team accelerates, and drive straight over!"
If it's on the safe side. Avoiding the enemy is of course the best policy, but each time they dodge the enemy, they must return to their original route, and the more times they use steering to avoid the enemy. They will also be further away from their original route, so they will make as few turns as possible when conditions allow.
"What do you think of this mission?" Due to the fact that the first team was opening the way in front of him, Trode didn't actually need to be on the most vigilant state all the time, and taking advantage of this gap, Trode asked Tryna.
"Whew......" Treena let out a soft breath, "The smell of the enemy is not too strong, and they still have such powerful equipment, but in general, the best chance of victory should be the first team itself." ”
As the commander of the armored squad on the Soviet side, Tryna despised the rigid tactics of many German armored units, saying that they were just using their equipment advantage to achieve victory. But for the first team, Trema herself admits that she is not convinced, and compared to the other teams she observes, there is only one word to describe them - bottomless. It can be seen from the pre-battle communication that although they are the same as Trode's team, many of the team members are talking and laughing, but they can exude a trace of fighting spirit between words and deeds, for the battle-experienced Tryna, except for experienced and capable veterans, it is impossible for anyone to have such an aura. In Team 217, even Tryna felt a little bit of this aura from Vincent, but it was still too light and light compared to the professional, and it could even be said that it was only a second- to third-rate level.
"As the division commander's guards, they didn't stay well in the camp in the middle of the night, and they actually ran behind enemy lines to do a sneak attack, so let me see how good they are." Trema smiled slyly, but only she could hear the words because they were too quiet.
"According to the target, it is estimated that there are five kilometers."
A group of vehicles at the front of the team was constantly reporting information about the movement from the beginning of the mission, while Paulus, who was in the back, was to give them various orders. At first, Trod thought that Paulus would ride in the two tanks equipped with the FG-1250 Sparrowhawk, but in the end, he sat in the center of the team, and only let the other two crews complete the observation mission, which was a place he did not plan to learn for Trode, who usually observed himself.
"Slow down the whole team, no fire is allowed without my orders!"
Hearing this order, Trode was still a little uneasy, and repeated Paulus's order to his team members like a mother, but at this time, a sudden situation occurred......
"Five directions! Within 200 meters! An armored patrol squad is approaching! ”
Tryna, who was at the back of the line, immediately reported the situation. (To be continued.) )
