Chapter 905: Field Cooking Vehicle
"What's going on?" Vinogradov asked, turning his head back into the turret behind him and peering out through the turret's observation hole.
In front of the convoy, a puff of black smoke came out, and it was obvious that one of our tanks had been blown up!
At the same time, the return fire on this side also began, and the sound of machine guns, artillery, beckoned not far away.
The ringing lasted for three to five minutes, and finally, it calmed down again, and it was only now that the sound on the radio became clear.
"Report, a T-26 tank was attacked, the tank was hit, the tankmen inside were killed, and we have expelled the Finnish partisans." The report on the radio made Vinogradov extremely angry: "What? Just dispel? Why not pursue? ”
"Division commander, according to the experience of the 163rd Division, it is not suitable for us to go into the woods to continue the pursuit, there may be a trap for the Finns there."
It was the commander of the tank unit who reported it, and this report made Vinogradov even more depressed.
He pushed open the hatch above his head and looked into the distance, yes, there were woods all around, and in the woods, I don't know how many Finn traps were hiding there!
"Keep going." Vinogradov gave the order, and his task was to support the 163rd Infantry Division, and now, not to be delayed by a single attack here.
He's going to continue!
The troops continued to move forward, and they did not know that this was only the beginning.
"What an ace unit, it's just a scumbag, the reaction is not as good as the 163rd Division, it's blind to those equipment."
In the woods, Royce listened to the reports of the two fighters who had gone to attack.
They were supposed to sneak attack the logistics units of the 163 Division, and now, on this route, even larger forces have appeared, the 44 Motorized Division of the Soviets, and so it came!
This makes them very excited, no matter how many people come from the other side, once they enter the woods, it is their world.
Two people had just gone out, one carrying a cannon and the other carrying a shell, and as soon as they opened fire, they slid their sleds and ran back, and as a result, it took the Soviets two minutes to spot them!
By this time, they had retreated into the woods, and the Soviets' artillery and machine guns did not cause any damage to them, which also tested the ability of this force, scum.
"Yes, this unit, it is the unit under review, and it is the best at kicking the right step, and it is also good at keeping the queue marching, but they are not good at fighting, especially, they are not good at fighting here." "Next, it's ours, and we're going to let the Soviets know whose territory this is," Royce said. ”
At this moment, Aalto on the side spoke: "This time, the convoy of the Soviets is too large, we only took out a few tanks and armored vehicles, and it has not had much effect, I suggest that we should hit the opponent's key vehicles." ”
Focus on vehicles? Shouldn't it be a tank? Royce looked at the old Finnish hunter, and these days, the cooperation between the two sides has been intimate.
"Royce, think about it, what is most important to a troop?" In Aalto's hand, he held a cup of hot milk, and at this time, the milk inside was still steaming.
In the woods on both sides of the Latai Highway, they had set up a number of supply points, which were a hiding place to dig up snowdrifts and set up pure white tents, with food, ammunition, shelter from the wind, and very warm.
When the hot milk is in the stomach, it feels warm all over the body.
Looking at Alto, Royce finally understood, this old hunter is also extremely agile!
This method is high!
"Stop moving forward and get ready to cook!" With the command coming over the radio, the troops of the entire motorized division, which stretched for several kilometers on the road, stopped.
After walking for a long time, I was hungry and it was time to eat.
For ordinary infantrymen, a company has a cooking squad, carrying a cauldron on its back, and when needed, it can cook on a fire at any time.
However, for motorized divisions, it is much more advanced, for example, their troops are equipped with field cooking vehicles.
In the wild, it is not easy to make a fire for cooking, just set up a pot stove, the wind direction is not suitable, then it is very difficult to make a fire, at the same time, now, the whole land is frozen, there is snow everywhere, it is not easy to find a fast place to set up a pot.
Therefore, the importance of field cooking vehicles is revealed.
Of course, these are not vehicles with a special truck chassis, that would be too wasteful, this is just a kind of trailer, just drag it on the back of the truck, two tires, and the weight of an anti-tank gun.
In the middle of the tires, there is a stove, and there is no need to burn firewood, and diesel fuel is burned directly inside.
Ordinary soldiers jumped out of the car and moved their muscles and bones, while the cooks were busy.
First, light the fire, let the stove heat up, shovel the snow directly in the field, put it in the cauldron, and soon, the snow will turn into water.
In later generations, snow cannot be eaten directly, it is too dirty, in fact, it is not snow that is dirty, but the snow is combined with the dirty things in the air in the process of formation.
And in this era, the air is still quite clean, the snow is clean, and after the water is boiled, there is nothing dirty in it.
Soon, the heat was rising.
On the side of the cooking cart, a board was pulled out, which was the cutting board, and the cooks took out a cabbage and cut it into small pieces, and by this time, the water was already tumbling and splashing.
Lift the lid of the pot, throw the cabbage inside, close the lid, and the cook continues to open the frozen boxes.
Canned food, canned beef from Central Asia, this thing, it makes people drool when it looks like it, cut a few cans with a knife, cut the canned beef inside into pieces, and continue to throw it into the pot.
A smell floated out of the entire road.
Sitting on the side of the car, smoking a cigarette and smelling the scent wafting through the air, everyone is in good spirits, this is the best time of the day.
They had already prepared a bowl of rice, and after a while, they would put on a pot of vegetable porridge and eat a few bites of black bread, and their stomachs would be full enough to last until the evening.
Well, just smelling this scent, it seems that you can smell it full.
As if he knew what they were thinking, the cook lifted the lid and stirred it again with a spoon, when someone shouted, "Be careful! ”
After the last attack, they became cautious, and after they stopped, they placed sentries on both sides of the road, and even men with machine guns waited on the turrets.
Even so, it was difficult for them to quickly get the Finns out of the snow, and it was hard to make out the white expanse around them.
A lot of times, they don't find out until the other side fires, like now!
