Chapter 950: Choice One
"yes, I see. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" After listening to the debriefing from Andrei, Natalia nodded, falling into a brief contemplation. As Andrei reported, the oil spill could be said to be a good opportunity for them, a good opportunity for the German Leopard squad to be crushed, after all, a failure of this magnitude would not even be discovered by their crews themselves.
But there are other possibilities, such as the Germans using this Leopard tank as a decoy for an ambush, and given the enemy's combat qualities, this possibility is greater than the previous one, which means that they will also take great risks when pursuing.
However, Natalia has never been the kind of person who takes a long time to decide a thing, but it took more than ten seconds for her to speak again: "Xiao Xia Bing, continue to move forward according to the line set by Anton, we will not pursue." ”
"Got it." Xia Bing replied to Natalia softly, and then immediately continued to lead the convoy and began to continue along the route that had been set a long time ago. And others have no opinion on this choice, after all, from the current point of view, whichever option is chosen has its advantages and disadvantages, so no matter what choice is made, it is reasonable.
Before leaving, Natalia had the team cannon the paralyzed Leopard, as they could not give the Germans the possibility of running back to fix it, which was a very time-consuming and dangerous operation, but no one could rule out that possibility.
Judging from the current results, in several encounters with the German Leopard squad, although the risk is not low, the 217 squad still has no losses after all, and the German side has already had a Leopard scrapped, and two damaged Leopards, one is a turret and one is a fuel tank.
Although the overall number cannot be confirmed, but combined with Trode's account of the 47th Division and the current battle situation, their number should be about the same as Andre's 217 squad, so it can now be said that they have lost nearly one-third of their combat effectiveness, and the following battle is obviously Andre and they have the upper hand.
However, they can't be relaxed because of this, after all, the area where they can take the initiative to fight now can be said to be completely over, and the Germans are bound to be extremely cautious in the rest of the time, even if Natalia is the leader, they may not be able to catch the opponent's weakness.
However, when the battle on Andrei's side fell into a bottleneck, the large forces of the Soviet army were able to breathe a little, because of the activities of the 217 squad, they were under pressure from the German Leopard squad, which was close to zero. Although other German troops had already taken up at this time, the number of twin forces was not on the same level, and it was difficult for them to stop the Soviet counter-advance.
However, because Natalia ordered Leonid to cut off contact with any friendly forces, such information did not reach their ears directly, but they had a clear analysis of the battlefield situation, and it was impossible for them not to guess that this phenomenon would occur, but they would usually confirm it, and now there is no such step at all.
Compared with the situation of the large Soviet army, the situation of the Soviet vanguard units left to resist the German army was much more critical, although they could still maintain the front, but in many fierce encounters, the ammunition was somewhat unsupportable. Especially the ammunition of heavy weapons, in order to drive the Germans back to the other end of the channel, the Soviet army really used all their strength, although the results were good, but in exchange for a lack of continuity.
However, in order to maintain the front, and also in order not to show weakness. The Soviets did not significantly reduce their firepower, and although the Germans were really suppressed for a while, the ammunition for many weapons had bottomed out. If there are no large-scale changes in the battlefield in the short term, they will be wiped out because they run out of ammunition.
Although this was the fate that most of the officers who led this group of troops could think of, after experiencing it themselves, they couldn't help but sigh deeply one after another. After all, no matter how brave they fought and fought the Germans without fear of death, as long as they ran out of ammunition, everything would come to naught. And it is more humiliating and sad to be slaughtered in that situation without the power to resist than to die in direct battle, which is a tragic fate that every soldier wants to avoid.
As time passed, German rockets no longer continued to fall on Soviet positions, and the number of howitzers decreased considerably, which was also a reflection of the German army's sharp consumption of ammunition. However, compared with the Soviet army, the German army except for self-propelled artillery and rocket artillery consumes more ammunition, but is still quite sufficient in other aspects, and has far surpassed the Soviet army in terms of troops.
At this time, in addition to the large forces of the Soviet army, there was only the 217 squad that could change the tragic fate of these Soviet soldiers. But the threat of German Leopard tanks remained, and Natalia had no time to be distracted from other things. After all, she knew very well that a tiger with some minor injuries was much more dangerous than a tiger in its prime, because it would be more cautious in the face of any danger.
According to Natalia's orders, the team continued to move along the route set by Anton, still with Xia Bing's tank as the leader, but due to the constant change of terrain, the team did not only maintain a line of marching formation at any time, but adopted a more frequent transformation method to deal with threats that may arise at any time.
However, it is worth noting that the route drawn up by Anton is, at least initially, in the same direction as the disappearance of the Leopard found by Andrei, which means that the result of the choice did not fork in the beginning. However, with the passage of time and distance, this gap will definitely become bigger and bigger, and it will become two completely different routes, and at that time, Natalia will have no possibility of regretting it.
However, what Andre also knows is that Natalia will not occasionally regret the decision she made like him, after all, there is no regret medicine in this world, and even regret it will not lead to anything. Instead of having the kind of time you regret, it's better to think of something useful. And Andre has often learned this with Natalia, but according to his own words, he has not yet grasped the core ......
