Chapter 714: Blowing Up a Trench?
Because the distance is not particularly far, so Trode decided not to bring an external fuel tank, after all, that kind of thing is almost a bomb tied to his body when he encounters an enemy raid, and the consequences of the whole vehicle burning Trode has personally experienced it, although it is only a short less than a minute, but that feeling he never wants to come a second time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In terms of ammunition, the configuration of the enemy is not clear, but considering that there will be no battle to attack the fortification, the number of high-explosive shells is slightly less. In the end, Trood decided to carry two-thirds of the armor-piercing bullets and one-third of the high-explosive shells to match the ammunition, and this kind of ammunition matching is also a relatively common way of **** ammunition in the recent armored squad.
After a final inspection of the tank for no obvious problems, Trod and the others were finally on their way, and by this time it had been half an hour since Trod received his mission. Although it may be snubbing when it is said by others, but in the eyes of Team 217, this task has gone through so many hands, and they don't know how many hours have passed, so it is useless for them to hurry for a moment, and it is better to use this time to make the most complete preparations to ensure that the task can be completed.
After about half an hour, Trode finally arrived at this unfamiliar area according to the guidance of the map. Their destination, position 34E, was on a conspicuous high slope, and from a distance, there was a lot of black smoke rising from it, and there were also some wreckage of Soviet tanks, craters and so on. Thankfully, however, there was a German Army flag flying on the position, which showed that despite the extreme hardships of the battle, these heroic Germans still held out.
In order not to encounter unnecessary trouble, Trode and the others still went around to the back of the position and slowly climbed up. The squadron leader, who was in charge of defending the position, was almost crying when he saw them, and he told Trode that they were the only reinforcements they had waited for during the four hours of fighting.
After reassuring him, Trode quickly followed the squadron leader to recontour the position, and since the enemy had not yet attacked, he needed to use this precious time to choose the best defensive position for his tank.
After turning around, Trode couldn't help frowning, because there was no ready-made place on this position that could be used as an ambush position for tanks, and the number of artillery in this position was too small - although two PAK40 and one 88 gun could be seen, but it was reported that only one of the PAK40 could operate normally, and the other two guns were damaged to varying degrees in the impact of the Soviet army just now, and the 88 gun had reached the point where it was completely unusable.
"That's going to be difficult...... Trood rubbed his hands together and glanced at the squad behind him, deciding that he would find a stopgap solution for the upcoming battle, leaving the rest of the defense system to be executed little by little. Thinking of this, he immediately ran back to the side of his squad and shouted to the commanders who were waiting for Trode's order with their upper bodies exposed, "Amphiteri and Marcus, you two go to the left and right sides first, and choose the best position to set up defenses; Hilde, you are in the middle of the position, in the front of this place; Alicia, Trana, Vincent, Leona, Hans, the five of you drive the tanks over according to the direction I pointed, and dig the trenches with the crew! ”
Trood gave the order, and the whole team immediately went into action, and No. 4 gave up the position to the Tiger and the 4 Annihilators, who needed to arrive at the position one step earlier, and they immediately took place and began to dig trenches after the former was arranged.
"Bell!" Trood took a shovel hanging from the back of Tank 4 and threw a shovel at the ground beneath his feet. Although many soils have become looser than they used to be due to the impact of the explosion, this is also limited to the upper layer of soil, and digging a little further down can make it more difficult. But fortunately, there are five people in each car group, and they can do it relatively quickly together.
"Yo! This shovel is not bad......" Treena praised the guy in her hand as she dug the trench, and said as if talking to herself: "If this had been placed on the Soviet side, there would not have been such a sharp shovel, and the thick iron sheet would be heavy and dull to use, and it would be much more laborious to use." However, when she said this, she suddenly changed her words and said, "But even so, there are still people who can be tired and panting......"
"Whew...... ......"On Tryna's side, her communications soldier and machine gunner, Ben, was panting and picking up a shovel that was not long, and although it didn't seem too strenuous on the other side, it seemed like it was fatal here.
"Huh! You kid is so untrained! Trema said with a smile. Actually, Ben's youth is not much younger than her, but compared to the mature Tryna, Ben is still like a newcomer after so many battles. It can be said that in addition to not being as nervous as at the beginning, there is almost no improvement in combat ability, which also makes Treena a little disappointed.
"But...... Sister Treina...... This is in the ...... It's a bit ......" In the face of Tryna's ridicule, Ben said this intermittently, seemingly trying to make excuses for himself. But Tryna took the time to pat him and said, "What are you talking about, you better work hard." This can only be blamed for your lack of skill, if you are really good enough, I will let you directly use explosives to blast out a few trenches, why do you need to use so much effort? ”
"Words...... You can't say that! Ben anxious looked bitter, temporarily stopped what he was doing, and after taking a few deep breaths, he finally could speak normally, and hurriedly defended: "If it is a directional blast, it can indeed blow up the large trenches that our tanks need." However, the cost of this is too great, and whether it is buried before blasting or repaired after blasting, it must be excavated by manpower, so it will not save too much effort. ”
Trana just wanted to have fun with Ben during this boring time, but she didn't think that the latter was extremely serious in this regard, she realized that she must not be able to say Ben, but she didn't want to lose face as a car leader. So for Ben, who seriously defended, she directly kicked him with a hammer and let him continue to work honestly...... (To be continued.) )
