Chapter 652: Prelude
Subsequently, Andre explained to the team that the incident had passed, which made everyone really relieved. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info although they didn't understand what was going on, they at least knew that they had annihilated a friendly squad with their own hands, and it was a big accident. No, since Andre had already said that it was okay, they didn't have to worry about it, after all, although Andre didn't say anything, he never cheated them in this regard.
And for Andre, this incident is indeed a big lesson, he originally thought that his behavior was at most to attract some abuse, but this action can make him feel it, which may be inseparable from him. However, judging from what Anton said to him at the end, the responsibility for this matter cannot be directly placed on his head, after all, there are still too many doubts......
Before, they were all thinking about bad directions, and Andrei also felt tired, so he only began to try his best to forget about those and began to think about some good things. First of all, although the mission was arduous, it was still completed safely, and the entire team did not suffer any actual losses. Although the vacation after the mission agreed with the battalion commander will definitely be in vain, there shouldn't be any too difficult tasks waiting for him in the near future, so he can let the team relax a little and spend this time a little leisurely.
You must know that during this time, the Soviet army was quite chaotic, the German army inexplicably hit in front of them, all kinds of preparations were not done, and there were many situations of rushing to meet the enemy, so Andrei and they could spend a few days peacefully, which was already quite happy.
And these few days are not all for the members to rest physically, but more to let their spirits rest. After all, the impact of this incident is too great, and Anton, as a 'professional' who appeases the team members, is the central figure of this incident, and it is not easy to pacify the team without revealing the true situation, so Andre and Anton have no choice but to let time dilute the inner trauma of the team members, after all, killing their own people is not something that everyone can accept, even at the threshold of life and death......
After a few days, although the situation was not as simple as Andre imagined, it was not too critical, at least for Team 217......
In these few days, the Germans made great efforts and launched fierce attacks one after another. This was simply unbearable for the Soviet army, which had not yet gained a firm foothold, although the losses were acceptable, but the defensive line was lost little by little, and in the end, the Soviet army had to rely on the city of Kiev to hold back the German army.
In fact, this last resort did work, and the German tank tactics of rapid onslaught were completely useless once they entered the city. A large number of infantry filled the streets and buildings, and began a war of attrition with the Germans, although they had not yet been able to regain the upper hand, but the Soviets already had this trend, and it was still unstoppable......
And today, Andre and the others are responsible for assisting in the defense of the city. Although it was said that they were assisting in the defense, their task was not easy at all, as a squad that specialized in anti-armor against the infantry, André had to rush to the German armored forces within a period of time after the arrival of the German armored forces to defeat them all. In other words, Andrey and his wife had to rush from position to position like firefighters, helping them carry out the task of blocking the enemy's armored forces, which was a mission without any rest.
And if you want to say why Andrei was able to take on such a task, it is still the same sentence, the risk is small! Yes, as it literally suggests, Andrei's mission is only to assist in the defense, and there is no need for them to live and die with the position. And Andre has already figured it out, once the two sides really fight, there will definitely be a lot of positions for him to come over to support. If he sees a risk on any side, he can immediately switch to another position, so that even if a position is lost, he will have plenty of excuses to respond. And the purpose of this is, of course, to make the whole team as risk-averse as possible, he doesn't want to really fight hard in this kind of meat grinder-like place, so even if he dies in battle, it will be worthless.
However, the members of the 217 squad did not have as many as Andrei thought, on the contrary, they were quite happy to learn that Andre took over a task dedicated to attacking the enemy's armored forces in such a chaotic environment, after all, it has been the tradition of the 217 squad to take the anti-armor force as the main purpose, and the team members are also very proud of it. They expressed disdain for fighting infantry, not because they adhered to those pompous chivalric dogmas, but because using their good quality tanks (compared to other Soviet tanks) to fight infantry did not really reflect the value of tanks at all, and only destroying enemy vehicles or some important targets could really cheer them up. And for this situation, the few people who really knew the inside story had no choice but to smile and say nothing......
Because the mission was defined in detail at the beginning, Andrey's requirements for ammunition and equipment were naturally more precise. First of all, in terms of ammunition, of course, AP is the main one, because considering that the shooting distance in the city will not be too far, so they chose the APHE type shell with slightly weaker penetration and full of power; As for the HE shells, a small amount was also carried in case of emergency. In other aspects, Andrei asked the team members to travel lightly, although he didn't plan to really work hard, but he couldn't run with a lot of equipment, and the city was full of their troops, even if he forgot to bring something, as long as it was not too important and scarce, it could be obtained from the friendly side, so compared with the previous missions, Andrei's tank looked a little bare, except for some external track pieces on the steel plate, there was really nothing.
Another point is that, taking into account the scale of the urban warfare, Andrei decided in advance to plan several groups for the squad so that they could split up at that time. If it were according to the previous division, it would definitely be him and Natalia each with a team, but now with Anton, although Andrei doesn't think his combat ability can be high, but in this battle, it is estimated that it is enough, so Andrei also drew a group for Anton.
And not long after all these preparations were done, the Germans attacked again...... (To be continued.) )
