Chapter 467: FG-1250 Sparrowhawk Eater
"Molotov cocktails, flares, flashlights, compasses, jungle camouflage nets......" Hans checked the list of items and looked at the corresponding positions of the tanks and men to see if they had been placed in the corresponding places, but at the end, Hans suddenly shouted loudly, "Why is there a searchlight?" ”
Even if it is a night battle, it is definitely a bit too much to equip a searchlight to carry out a surprise attack, not to mention Hans, a well-behaved tank soldier, even Trood and Tryna, the two armored squad commanders who dare to try all kinds of new tactics, are absolutely unheard of for this tactic. Not to mention the limitations of this kind of thing when used at night, the fact that it is bulky enough to keep it away from almost all sneak attacks. However, this searchlight was one of the pieces of equipment that Paulust had told Trode to carry. After sorting out the equipment on this trip, Trode felt that he was no longer going to help in the battle, but had become an armed camel team, and he was completely pulling supplies for the first team, which made all the members of the first team, including him, quite depressed.
After a busy day, it was almost nine o'clock, but according to the time stipulated by the first squad, they still had two hours to rest, in order to meet the upcoming fierce battle in perfect condition, everyone took a nap, it had been several days, and the members of the 217 squad had never slept so soundly as at this time.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the first squad and the 217th squad had already assembled on the outer edge of the German position, and all the units did not turn on any lighting equipment, and Paulus actually let the two squads advance directly in the jungle in the dark night!
"Hey! Is the man's head broken, not to mention two armored squads, even infantry guerrillas who are familiar with the terrain can get lost, can we just rely on a scout returning and don't know if it's reliable and the compass that keeps trembling to carry out the mission? "Although I have seen the strength of the first squad before, I have also heard some people talk about how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the first squad is. But this time, Trema really thinks there's something wrong with Paulus' head.
"Ah, there must be some reason for that......" Trode smiled awkwardly, although he didn't think Paulus was that stupid, but at least for now, he had the same idea as Tryna.
"Nope. They came prepared......" Hans was the only one in the crowd who had a different opinion, because to be more specific, in Team 217, Hans was one of the least adept at this kind of combat. Facing everyone's doubts, he pointed directly to the first squad and said, "Look at the turrets of those two tanks, is there something more?" ”
"It seems to be, what is that?" It was dark, though Trode did see that the two tanks Hans was referring to had a large disc and a cylinder-shaped piece of equipment on them. But there was so much of a shadow that Trode really didn't recognize what it was.
"Don't look at it, you won't recognize what it is, even during the day." Hans said to Trode with a little sarcasm, but Hans immediately explained: "This is a new type of equipment, I only knew about such a piece of equipment a few days ago, and I haven't seen what it looks like, but after I saw it just now, and now Captain Paulus has asked the whole team to move forward without turning on the lights." That's exactly what I expected. ”
"What the hell? Don't sell it. "Compared to the others, Tryna really didn't have the leisure to listen to him go around in circles like this.
Hans smiled. Then he told everyone as if he were reciting a book: "This is an auxiliary equipment that the German army has developed not long ago, called the FG-1250 'Sparrowhawk' infrared night vision device, which is a combination of a 20 cm diameter and 200 watts of power projector and a maximum magnification of 5 times the aiming telescope, using the 126 type infrared picture tube produced by AEG for observation, and the power required is provided by the on-board generator and battery. The mirror-like device emits infrared rays, and the barrel is an infrared viewfinder for observing targets. With these two pieces of equipment, the commander can see any target within 400 meters in the dark of night, and he can also spot the infantry hiding behind through the cover of the jungle, which is the best weapon for the battle we are going to carry out now. ”
"Infrared imaging?!" Troude's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he had seen infrared imaging equipment in this battle, although this kind of equipment was no longer a high-tech for 'him', but in this era, the use of infrared rays for aiming was definitely a top technology, and he also knew that once this equipment was applied to this kind of jungle sneak attack, it would have a great impact on the balance of victory and defeat.
However, with the exception of Trode, the others were confused even after listening to Hans's explanation, but Trode immediately explained to them in a relatively simple way what the equipment was for and how it affected night combat.
"......" After listening to Trode's simple introduction, everyone understood what kind of equipment it was, and they could only be dumbfounded. While they were really surprised by the power of the Tiger, it was something like the FG-1250 Sparrowhawk infrared night vision device that was beyond their knowledge that really opened their minds.
"It's too...... "Even Tryna, for such a device performance is unacceptable for a while, and her hunter nature let her know that if this equipment really plays its best performance, it will be an immeasurable force, but she also has certain doubts, listening to Hans's words, this equipment should not be mature, it must have some weaknesses and drawbacks, about this aspect, even Hans should not know.
"Let's go!" Under Paulus's orders, all the tanks began to advance in the dark forest in their original formation, and the two tanks equipped with the FG-1250 'Sparrowhawk' infrared night vision device served as the vanguard to clear the way for the follow-up troops, and if nothing else, they could use this equipment to avoid most of the enemy and approach their targets safely and securely.
