Chapter 347: Waiting
"Da Da Da!"
In Trood's crew, the first role of the machine gun is definitely Loy. MG-34, as a German production, is also the world's first general-purpose machine gun, although it has countless advantages, but as the first work, the disadvantages are not less.
First of all, what Roy now holds in his hands is not the original MG-34, but the MG-34T, which is specially designed for tanks and armored vehicles. Compared to the original, the barrel jacket has no heat vents, which makes it weigh nearly 30 pounds more than the already light gun, and it is not easy to keep shooting with it.
Unlike Nattle and Trode's wanton waste, Roy has a strong command of machine gun bullets in his hand, and almost does not use strafing or long bursts, even deterrent targets are solved with short bursts.
And when it comes to short point shots, we have to say a little about the subtle design of the MG-34. The MG-34 has a unique trigger design with a double crescent trigger inside the trigger guard, the upper crescent in semi-automatic mode (printed with an "E") and the lower crescent trigger with a push-to-fuse trigger in fully automatic mode (printed with a "D").
Trood and Natle, due to their poor marksmanship and other personality reasons, generally use the fully automatic mode below, but Roy will only pull the trigger below when it is time to do so. This is not because he is worried about ammunition, but because the long-term use of long bursts will make the barrel with no heat dissipation holes very hot, which will not only increase the wear and tear of the machine gun, but also have a great impact on its accuracy.
But in addition to these reasons, Nuttel, who couldn't hide things in his heart, also confessed to Trood and others: "It's really unacceptable to shoot short shots." ”
The reason for this may seem funny, but it is a little understandable for Nattel to happen to him. To put it simply, strafing was like cutting wheat and striking indiscriminately, and he didn't know which bullet killed the enemy, but the short burst shot was completely different, and he knew exactly which trigger ended the enemy's life, which made Natl feel a little awkward. Although there is no difference in the results, he is the kind of person who is straightforward and fast-talking, and it has always been his style to say and do when he thinks of it, but this is not annoying.
But then again, even though Nattle said so, it is also puzzling that he did not hesitate to bombard the enemy infantry with HE. Seeing that Natl was attacking the enemy with all his might, Trood didn't mention it. Because if Nuttel's emotions fluctuate because of Trode's words, which affects his combat effectiveness, it will be worth the loss.
Beginning. Trod was still a little confused, because judging by the information sent back by the self-propelled guns on the outside, the Soviets should have a considerable number of troops carrying out this operation, and even if they did not have follow-up troops, they were not the size that a squad of Trood's level could easily defend. Even because the corridors inside the base were mostly narrow, the Germans could easily defend against enemy tanks with the mass advantage of tanks, but even in terms of infantry, the Soviets did not achieve much. The attack was fierce at first, but it became more and more like a formality later on.
At this time, Trode realized that the enemy turned out to be a drunkard, and he did not mean to drink. They were ready to come to the encirclement point to send reinforcements, and inflict heavy losses on the follow-up troops of the German army who arrived in a hurry and did not have the advantage of terrain.
However, Trood was hardly worried about this, and after reporting the highly probable speculation to the rear, he continued to complete his decoy mission in peace.
"I haven't seen it yet, though. But that's definitely a monster......" Trode couldn't help but sigh.
On the other hand, Hans also performed very well in this mission, and the arrangement of the defensive line was largely completed by Hans, but the later adjustments were still completed by Trode and the various commanders themselves. Ultimately. Hans still can't get rid of the problem of talking on paper, although he doesn't want to do this, but Hans's ability to regulate the battlefield is very clumsy. Under normal circumstances, the number of tanks that can be directly commanded is only two. Such a pitiful number, even if it is not in a special unit like the 47th Division, will be judged to be unqualified. Sometimes serious, sometimes joking, Trood would ask Hans to take command of the team, but because the disadvantages were so obvious, Hans knew that he was definitely not the material. Not only that, but like Trood's marksmanship, Hans put a lot of effort into this area, but he still had little success, which may only be explained by his character.
Of course, there was a wonderful combination that had never been seen before in this operation - Amphitri and Hield. The personalities of the two people like Ice and Fire can even be described as incompatible, but the relationship between the two has become very good unconsciously. Although Hilde still said very little, and almost all of the radio was dominated by Amphitri, the two of them maintained this state that seemed unbelievable to others.
Now, one of the widest streets was guarded by two of their crews, although the IV.J's penetration advantage was not reflected in the fight against vulnerable Soviet tanks, and due to the intricacies of the streets, it was difficult to grasp the enemy's tracks, and the accuracy advantage could not be well exploited. However, this cannot affect the strength of their two car groups. Several tentative attacks by the enemy were immediately beaten back by them. Although on the basis of destroying the enemy's living forces as much as possible, it should be more effective to put the enemy close and then strike, but now they are not completely sure that the enemy will definitely carry out the tactic of encircling the point to the end, if the enemy sees that the internal siege has an advantage and is ready to eat them directly, then Trod They probably can't do much but regret it......
"Boom!"
Although the frontal offensive was not large, the enemy was not prepared to let the Trood and them go unabated, and the mortar units that had not been completely eliminated before were now resurrected, and in order not to repeat the previous mistakes, they were scattered in various parts of the base, and they specialized in dealing with targets that were difficult to avoid the shells, which caused a lot of real trouble for the German infantry.
But now Trode they have no way at all, looking at the enemy in front of them walking around from a distance like shopping, Trode gritted his teeth and silently prayed for the arrival of reinforcements from his heart...... (To be continued.) )
