Chapter Ninety-Two: The First Encounter

Sometimes, even if you have all kinds of advantages, you will still be intimidated by the momentum of the enemy in front of you. Now Derek is facing this situation, if he fights for battlefield experience and strategy, Derek is undoubtedly at a disadvantage, and now Lamont should have seen the battlefield situation clearly, even so, he rushed over without fear, which inevitably makes people feel that his confidence may still have a back move.

Derek grabbed the microphone and said, "It's not my style to retreat before you fight, Troude, prepare to defend the formation, and see if his confidence is a bluff." ”

"Okay." Trood immediately replied that the enemy in front of him now was full of unknowns for him, and he could only rely on Derek.

On the other side, on the control tower of a 'Churchill' Type I infantry tank, a man with a stubble face was holding a nearly burned cigarette butt in his mouth and looking ahead with a telescope.

"Are you going to fight?" The man bit the cigarette butt so hard that it became crooked, and he muttered, "But I don't want to." ”

The man immediately waved his hand and said, "Churchill to the left, Crusader to the right, make the encirclement as big as possible." ”

He rubbed his chin again and said, "Crusader is a little smarter, if they are a **** you, we won't be able to catch up." ”

"The kid on the other side, I really want to see how you choose." Lamont gave a sinister smile.

"They're going to surround us!" Seeing this, Trode quickly called Derek, and with the current distance, they still had time to do whatever they did.

"You don't need to say it, I saw it." Derek was upset, and in reply to Trode's words, he naturally didn't have a good temper.

Derek said slowly: "Attack on the spot, our equipment is in an advantage, and it is easier to be caught if we rush forward." ”

"So be it." Trood had also thought about striking the enemy's Crusader first, but they were weakly armoured, and only four of them could not do any damage to Trode, and Churchill's slow movement made it too late to rush to their aid. However, after hearing Derek's words, Trode thought about it again, like this kind of flaw in front of him, almost every tank commander could see it, but the enemy is such a cunning opponent, can he make such a low-level mistake?

It didn't take long for Lamont's team to surround them, but the speed of the contraction was surprisingly slow, and the shells on both sides were only symbolic attacks.

Trood and their front were now eight Churchills in front of them, and four cruising Crusaders in the back, and they had completely lost their lead in the battle and could only brake statically.

Derek looked at the situation on the battlefield and said angrily: "It's not easy to fight in the front, and you can't catch it in the back, damn it." ”

Trode looked at the Churchill array advancing in front of him, exuding a suffocating pressure, but at the same time it had a magical power that kept the eyes completely focused on it. All he could do now was look for a breakthrough in the formation in front of him, but alas, that kind of thing didn't exist.

Artillery fire from both sides flew, and the Churchills pressed forward with a dense attack. Due to the distance, the shell's piercing was greatly reduced, but it still continued to return fire with the small caliber 2-pounder gun, which was more of an imposing return fire than a physical one.

"Trode, if you continue to fight like this, the shells are consumed too violently, should we consider putting them into range to attack?" Just as Trode stared ahead, Stein's words finally shifted his gaze.

Trood asked Stein, puzzled, "Aren't there enough shells?" ”

In this case, the value of the shells can be said to be quite low, and even if there is the slightest chance of destroying the enemy's tank, they have to try it infinitely.

"No, if anything, barely possible, but," Stein said again.

"But if we run into other troops, it's going to be difficult for us?" Trood took his words.

"yes, that's it." Stein said with a look of embarrassment: "And now we are not in the past, we are on the enemy's territory, if the enemy has other troops, it should be difficult for us to rely on the cover of our teammates as before." ”

"On enemy territory?" Trood listened to Stein's words and felt that something was wrong.

"Running out of ammunition, another enemy," Trode muttered as he thought.

"Bell!"

Suddenly, Trode smacked the steel plate next to him hard.

"Damn, I didn't even think of this most basic thing!" Trood secretly scolded himself for being sluggish, and it wasn't until Stein's accidental remark just now that he realized that Lamont's plan was so simple-

First of all, Lamont didn't want to fight directly with Trode. The initial frontal assault was really to give Trode a disadvantage so that his plans could be carried out. Ordering the troops to be dispersed into two squads, he dared to make such a low-level mistake because he was convinced that we would think that he would not make such a mistake! So, at the very beginning, Derek's plan was already in Lamont's calculations, and he calculated their thoughts, so he dared to disperse the team, and Derek and Trod were completely toyed with!

After that, the four Crusaders cruising behind Trode were distractions, as they had guessed. But! They couldn't guess what was going on. Both Derrick and Troder had just thought that the purpose of their distraction was to assist the frontal attack, so they kept all their eyes on that side.

In this way, they fell into Lamont's hands. In fact, the Churchill formation in front of them was also used for distraction, which can be seen from the speed of their advancement, Trood and Derek preconceived that Lamont did this in order to be steady, but in fact, it was not. He did this for only one reason - to delay time!

This is enemy territory, and delaying time means more enemies coming. Trode had fought a few desperate wars of attrition before, but they were all on his own turf, and if there were no shells, his teammates would cover him and resupply. And now, after the Trod their shells have been almost depleted, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare in the event of enemy reinforcements!

Realizing this, Trode immediately shouted into the microphone, "Derek, they're stalling for time!" ”

"What!" Derek's eyes widened, and his head went blank for a moment
