Trode's squad replaced the assault guns with two destroyers, essentially changing their mission from a multi-faceted support type to a type specifically targeting enemy tanks. And in the next battle with the enemy's armored forces, it will no longer be necessary to distract from the protection of two assault guns, as before.

"Yorkson, how does it feel?" Nattle looked down and asked the people below.

Yorkson kept operating the tank and said: "There is no big difference, the thrust weight is a little lower than before, so the feel is a little stiff compared to before." ”

(Thrust-to-weight ratio: The ratio of tank horsepower to tank tonnage, that is, the horsepower obtained per unit weight, the greater the thrust-to-weight ratio, the more flexible the tank is.) ）

Stein also said on the side: "In terms of the layout of the car, there are no changes, which can also avoid being familiar with it again." ”

"But the match is so much worse, Stein, can you get used to it?" Trood asked a question at the right time.

Stein said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, but it's a lot easier to reload a cannonball all the time." ”

Due to the change in combat missions, a full round of 87 rounds originally contained about 20 or 30 rounds of high-explosive shells, but now there are only a few rounds. Its role has also changed from striking at the enemy's infantry to becoming a tactical tool for tank combat.

In fact, in this battle, there is still a small contradiction in Trod's heart. He didn't want his first mission to be ruined, and if these heavy trucks could reach their destination unscathed, it would be a successful test.

On the other hand, however, he was eager for the enemy's attack, although after several months of fighting, Trode had gained some knowledge of the capabilities and characteristics of the English and French. However, this may not be the same everywhere, and in order to determine what kind of policy the enemy here is holding, it is necessary for him to engage with the enemy now, and the sooner the better

Soon after, a wave of enemies arrived to the north of Trode, who poked out half of his head and looked out with a telescope in his hand.

"All 'Crusader' cruiser tanks, a total of eight." Trode gave a brief report on the enemy's situation.

Luo Yi analyzed coldly: "Hmph, this configuration is obviously a robbery, eight 'crusaders' to deal with ordinary squads may still be said in the past, but for us now, it is no different from Bai Qi." ”

Trode immediately ordered: "Take the initiative and not let the convoy come within their range." ”

In this way, the seven chariots followed Trode's order, turned to the north, and then met the enemy. The British forces reacted immediately by attempting to bypass the Trood squad and inflict a direct blow on the convoy by using the Crusaders' excellent maneuverability.

However, such a plan did take it for granted, and the mobility of the IV tank and the IV J was indeed inferior to that of the Crusaders, but not to the point where a decisive gap could be formed. After several rounds like 'eagles catching chickens', the British did not choose to fight hard, but retreated decisively when they saw that it was unprofitable.

"This is withdrawn? It's boring. Nattle looked at the Englishman who had gone through the observation hole, and his disappointment was evident.

Trode chuckled and said, "After all, they don't have a chance to fight hard, so admitting it like this can be regarded as being able to judge the situation." ”

"Trode, turn the car around, it's coming again!" The sound of Vincent's call came through the headphones.

Trood looked back and saw another pile of 'Crusader' tanks rushing from behind them. Although the enemy was still no threat to them, Trod was now on the left side of the convoy, and the enemy was on the right, leaving Trode with a much smaller depth of defense.

Trood immediately gave the order: "All turn back and drive them away!" ”

The Crusader tanks, which had an advantage in speed, quickly caught up with the convoy and had already put them within their range, but they only fired their guns in the middle of the road, making some symbolic shots with a low probability. Because at this time, the barrels of Trod's cannons had already been aimed at them, and as long as they stopped for a moment, within a few seconds, it would be pierced by countless cannonballs and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The covering fire from both sides lasted for more than a minute, but the British really didn't want to exchange tanks for heavy trucks, so they still retreated in dismay. But Trood didn't believe they would give up just to that point.

That's it, Trood, they're really being tricked. They encountered a number of enemies along the way, and in order to keep the trucks from attack, they had to fight the encounters with the enemies at a distance. And the British troops were not fools, and each time they avoided their edge. Even a few of these attacks almost caused a breakthrough, which made Trode feel a little worried.

By the time this had happened, even Trood had ordered that instead of destroying the enemy's tanks, he would devote himself to protecting the convoy and making its defenses truly impregnable.

In short, it didn't take long for both sides to eagerly test each other, and the escort mission came to a successful conclusion, and the arrival of four heavy trucks meant that Trood and their mission were now only left to join the defense here tonight.

Relieved of his heavy burden, Trode finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and now he really hoped that the British and French troops would come at once, so that he could take this opportunity to make a difference.

However, Trood's idea here seems so ridiculous to the veterans, and none of their troops, whether German, British, or French, dares to attack other people's strongholds casually in broad daylight, because of the rapid support speed of the armored forces, the possibility of the attacking troops being stuck first and then eaten back is quite large.

Of course, the result was just as the command had expected, and not a single enemy had ever appeared until the time Trood and the others had dinner
