Chapter 1225: Loss
After waving the flag a few times, and feeling that Trode's side had almost received the signal, Amphitri breathed a sigh of relief, and then worked hard with the loader to close the rear hatch.
At this time, the situation in Amphiteri's car was actually as Trode expected, and its radio station was no longer useful. However, it was not reimbursed in the previous round of fighting, but earlier, in the firepower confrontation with the British army, the radio station was quite unhappily finished.
In fact, twenty minutes ago, that is, when the British army had not advanced to this distance, Ferdinand Amphittri, as the most reliable frontal protection vehicle in this mixed army, really did not lack firepower in the front.
On the one hand, it is because Amphiteri's position is in the middle of the position, and most of the Leopard and 136 projects are at the rear of the position; On the other hand, most of the other vehicles leaked only turrets, while Ferdinand Amphitri exposed most of the fighting compartment, so when aiming, this slightly larger target naturally took a lot of care.
However, just as he once used to be a powerful man on the Eastern Front, Ferdinand was still indestructible on the Western Front, at least under the current British artillery fire, Ferdinand's armor has been put to the test.
But it's no wonder, after all, most of the vehicles in this mixed squad at this time rely on bulletproof shapes to improve their defensive capabilities, but Ferdinand is not, and it is really won by the thickness of the armor - when the two 100 mm uniform steel armor on the front are combined, so that most tank guns at that time cannot penetrate its frontal armor at a regular combat distance.
And because of this, if it weren't for Trode's words to be careful, Amphitri would definitely have driven the tank out to fight the British at this time, although that would not have been a wise move.
However, it was such an indestructible Ferdinand, whose radio performance was outrageously awful. Previously, we also mentioned that there was too much noise during communication due to the interference of the motor. But this time, it's not just a murmur -
Just now, a 17-pounder cannonball from the comet hit Ferdinand's armor in Amphitri's fighting compartment, and like the shell just now, although it gave a lot of shock to the crew of the car, it was still powerless against Ferdinand's hard armor.
But it didn't end, and before the shock was over, another 17 shell from the Firefly also hit its fighting compartment, and although the result was the same, it caused the Ferdinand to shake even more. In Amphitri's words, even the most dilapidated truck in the military department would not have such bumps.
And it was such a violent vibration that several people in the car temporarily lost their ability to fight, and when they recovered and began to continue fighting, the communication corps found that the radio could not be turned on. No matter how much he tried, even banging with the butt of his rifle, the station showed no signs of recovery.
Amphitri didn't believe in evil, and went over to knock a few times, but the result didn't change at all - because of the violent shaking, Amphitri's radio station was finished......
This result made Amphitri very depressed, his own tank was the most reliable in armor, but the enemy broke their radio without penetrating them at all, which is really laughable.
However, while being depressed, Amphitri also began to be a little worried, because although their armor was the most reliable, the parts in the car were not like that. Not to mention the main gun, which are all exposed parts, and the most worrying thing for Amphitri is Ferdinand's overloaded engine.
If something went wrong because of the too violent blow, if this battle was really unwinnable and she was ready to retreat, wouldn't she be ready to abandon the car and evacuate?
Although Amphitri had all kinds of grievances about her Ferdinand, it was undeniable that if she were given another chance to pick one of all the German tanks she had seen, she would still choose Ferdinand. If nothing else, because of its ferocious firepower and undoubted frontal protection capabilities.
Although others have mixed reviews of it, it is the most suitable vehicle for Amphitri's character at this stage, and except for Ferdinand, there is no other tank that can carry Amphitri straight into enemy lines......
After the preliminary summary, the loss report in the Trood squad is also out, except for Hilde's Tiger that has lost its combat ability, the other car groups have certain losses, which will more or less affect their combat effectiveness, but no one has fallen, which can be regarded as a good situation.
However, on Andrei's side, although there was no loss of chariots like on Trood's side, on the contrary, there were losses in personnel -
Just now, when the two sides were engaged in a firefight, a small amount of long-range firepower on the British side was naturally not idle, and they poured artillery fire as much as possible towards the rear of the German position. And among them, Oger's chariot unfortunately became the victim of the choosing-
A grenade hit the upper armor of the car, and although it did not penetrate the reinforced armor of Project 136, it still caused great damage to the occupants of the vehicle.
And we also know that in order to pursue excellent ballistic performance, Soviet combat vehicles have greatly compressed the space of members. And this, naturally, has a considerable impact on the buffer zone of the crew of the tank when it is subjected to a grenade strike, which is especially reflected in the driver.
And Ouge's driver, that's the case, under the too fierce bombardment of the grenade, it hardly has any area that can be buffered, and it really eats all the impact power.
As for the result, it was naturally suffocating, although the heroic driver did not die on the spot, but it can be seen from the amount of blood he vomited that he was no longer saved.
But that's it, after Andrei learned about the situation, he still thought of all the ways to give him the last first aid. Although this effort did not save his life in the end, the driver still walked with a smile on his face after spitting out his last mouthful of red blood at the end of his life......
