Chapter 454: Counter-Ambush (I)
"Whew...... ...... "Leona gasped, carefully looking at the situation around her, her nerves were already completely tense, and Vincent in the other tank was not much better than hers, the temperature in the radio was almost frozen, and only the heavy gasps of the two could be faintly heard in the noise, and the sound of the neglected swallowing was the clearest in their own ears.
It was the special task they had just received to find their other team members. In order to confirm their situation as soon as possible, Vincent and Leona chose a shortcut, but unfortunately, they were ambushed, by an unclear force.
Although Trod had analyzed and completely eliminated the Soviet guerrillas who were responsible for destroying the transportation lines here, in fact, the unit Vincent encountered did not belong to the previous guerrillas, but the reinforcements they called after the squad they broke for the first time was defeated, but because Trod was too strange for them, the second squad was directly defeated under their tricks, The retreating Trod squad also coincidentally encountered the remnants of the Soviet partisans who were preparing to join the support units, and completely wiped them out. After the Soviet support team knew that the two tanks had encountered an accident, they were preparing to advance steadily, but Vincent and Leona, who were busy supporting, appeared on their flanks, how could they let go of this excellent ambush opportunity, after a battle, Vincent and Leona relied on their equipment advantage to barely make themselves invincible, but they were completely surrounded, and they could not contact Trood!
"No way...... Drag it out......" Vincent thought for a long time and didn't think of any solution to it, so he chose the most helpless tactic, that is, to respond to all changes with the same. After several encounters, Vincent and Leona also knew that the number of Soviet troops was not too large, and there should be only five tanks at most. And they are all T-7S light tanks that are slightly less mobile than the BT-26 fast tanks, and if the two IV tanks were defending back-to-back, the Soviets really didn't have too good tactics to destroy them, as it should be......
"Ten o'clock!" "Ten o'clock!"
Vincent and Leona shouted in unison, and although they said the same thing, the positions they reported were completely different. The two tanks are in opposite directions, and the two 'ten o'clock' positions are exactly opposite.
Crossfire from opposite positions is undoubtedly the best way to go, and Vincent and Leona have already talked about it. So they immediately followed the original plan, and each crew was responsible for destroying the enemy they observed, but even so, there were unexpected circumstances......
"Leona, your two o'clock direction!"
Just as the two tanks were turning their hulls, Vincent accidentally caught a glimpse of a rather important target, which was in the opposite direction of Leona's hull. Another T-26S is eyeing it, apparently preparing to strike a fatal blow after its hull has turned, waiting for the armor to be more vertical.
Hearing the information, Leona immediately realized her passivity and quickly ordered the driver to stop turning the hull, although this would expose the sides to two T-26S at the same time, but at this angle, if you count the equivalent armor. The T-26S's 45mm gun is also difficult to penetrate, and Leona was able to make such a quick and calm analysis at this time. It also proves that her basic skills as a car commander are quite strong.
But coincidentally, because she was reminded by Vincent that there was an enemy in the opposite direction of the turn, almost unconsciously, she also turned her head to look at the corresponding position on Vincent's side, and the result really made her gasp.
"Vincent, you've got it behind you!"
"Damn! How did you forget this stubble! Vincent complained. The driver had immediately been asked to turn the car back to a relatively safe angle, but due to the late detection, they were not as lucky as Leona, and the T-26S in the rear had already locked them on, and had already opened fire the moment they reacted.
"Bell!"
“……!”
There was silence in the car. Especially inside the turret, there was silence, and the commander, gunner, and loader, including Vincent, all stared at the situation in front of them with wide eyes, even though the battle situation was very urgent now, but they were still stunned for several seconds.
"Boom!"
Vincent swallowed hard, then gently picked up the bullet in front of him and carefully threw it out of the hole it had entered......
"Whew...... ......"Even the battle-hardened Vincent had never experienced such a thrilling situation - just now, the bullet that had been fired at them did not fail to penetrate or ricochet as they had prayed, but had pierced through the side armor of their turret, but fortunately, it had been fired in front of the loader, almost against Vincent's belly, and finally stuck next to the main gun. And what makes them happy is that this is an AP bomb, and it will not explode, if it is HE, they are estimated to be finished with a carload of people.
After throwing the warhead out, Vincent glanced in front of him, the thick military coat had been scraped by the sharp bullet, and if it was offset by a few millimeters, it would have scratched Vincent's soft and fragile belly. This made him break out in a cold sweat, but he still insisted on immediately directing the gunners to return fire on their targets, or no one could say whether the next shell would be HE or the AP that cut his belly.
"Bang! Boom! ”
Vincent and Leona's tanks returned fire immediately after being attacked, but even so, because the Soviets had long been prepared for a failed attack, they failed to hit their targets even at such a close distance, missing a good opportunity to destroy the enemy.
"Are you alright?" Leona had also seen the hole that Vincent had pierced, but since her crew was quick to react afterwards, Leona wasn't so worried.
"It's fine, but it's ......" (To be continued.) )
