Chapter 231: Secret Mission
The task of the general offensive may seem daunting, but in fact it is not easy -- between the enemy's armored forces there are only a few scattered numbers, and there is no climate. The commander in the rear ordered Trod to make a way for the infantry, but this task annoyed them - the ground was full of their own infantry, running around, which severely limited their playfulness, except when dealing with a certain difficult enemy, they had almost no room to use (this also depends on the fact that the high-explosive shells they carried were too scarce to strike at any enemy, and generally only covered by machine gun fire). )
Unlike the others, Trode was already thinking about how to write the post-war report. In this respect, Trood's seriousness can be compared with that of Hans, whether it is the usual tactical strategy on paper, or the final battle summary handed over to the above, he tries to be as good as possible - the concise main part, with some key additions, notes, and analysis of the battle diagram, is done quite carefully. The only fly in the ointment is the battle diagram itself.
In fact, it can be seen from Trode's marksmanship that he is a complete handicap, no matter what gun he uses, his marksmanship is not ordinary stinking, even with a submachine gun for strafing, because it can not effectively stabilize the gun, and it becomes quite biased. Trode, then, is even more clumsy when it comes to his teammates' finger dexterity, and his drawings are generally only appreciated by the reader, because being able to look like a god is already his highest standard.
Of course, Trode didn't want to stop at that point all the time, after all, a picture would take up a large part of the report, and it would be the most conspicuous part, and if the picture was not good, the first impression would not be too good. Face this situation. He also humbly consulted Hans, an expert here. But even if the two of them drew a simple map together, Trood was able to make it fly, and in the end, Hans gave up first
Since this aspect of the diagram doesn't work, it can only be converted to winning with words, which is what Trode does best. But Trode wasn't the kind of person to curry favor with his superiors by reading between the lines. All he has to do is to attract the attention of the above through some of his own novel reporting methods, and it would be best if he could have some repercussions, after all, his ultimate goal was to reform the outdated physique and concepts of the German army, but this is not something that can be changed overnight, and even if it is estimated that there will be no major changes in his life.
In the end, the battle lasted about two or two hours, which ended before noon, which also allowed Trode to complete the task "on time", although somewhat opportunistically. But Trode was more than happy to do so, because it would allow him to play the trick in the report, and although it might attract disgust and even criticism, Trode felt that it was perfectly worth taking the risk for the sake of the matter.
After a day and a night, the Trode team finally won the mission, and everyone was relieved. I'm very happy. Of course, there are examples of this. That's Yorkson. The reason is that after the war, their squad was not assigned to clean up the battlefield due to scheduling, and Yorkson lost this opportunity to "hunt for treasures", so it was normal for him to be unhappy. But. Unlike Trode, no one wants to take care of him for his emotions.
After that, Trode's team returned to the rear and carefully overhauled it. Although this time the tank did not suffer any major injuries. But it is also necessary to repair some small bullet holes, and more importantly, this time because of the lack of resources, Trode used a lot of non-standard ammunition and fuel on the spot, which will more or less have an impact on the equipment, although it may not be obvious, but it is also a potential hidden danger, so the inspection of these vehicles requires more care.
In this mission, a total of two tanks of SCP-217 were penetrated by the enemy, one was Elicia's, and the side and rear armor of her tank was pierced by the armor-piercing warhead of a 6-pounder gun, but fortunately it only hit the armored area, and did not affect the accessories and members of the vehicle; The other shot was the bullet hole in Trode's car, which came in from the front, not only grazing Trode's leg, but also nearly shooting Yorkson in the head. Since these two parts needed to be dealt with, they took the tank to the repair shop for the time being, while Trood began to handle the other steps of his battle.
In his hurry to get these things done, Trode rejected the suggestion to find a medic to treat the wound first, and only roughly tidied up his clothes, and then walked to the office with strips of cloth tied around his legs
"When! While! While! ”
"Please come in!"
Trode gently pushed the door in, saluted the person in front of him, and after the man nodded, he sat down on the sofa on the side, and Trode did not shirk, and slowly sat on it. Now Trode is already empty-handed, as for the report, it has been handed over to the relevant departments just now, and now he is here for something that has been agreed upon.
"After this battle, do you have the initial conclusion?" A middle-aged man was sitting in front of Trode, and he looked at Trode with interest and said.
"The major is overestimated." Trode whispered: "After only one battle, the evaluation will definitely not be objective and comprehensive, so the following are just some of my personal opinions, which will still delay your time." ”
"No, even if it's a personal opinion, it has a certain reference value, doesn't it?" Anselm smiled and looked at Trode.
However, Trode did not reply to him in time, but called out "old fox" in his heart. He knew that no matter what form it was, Anselm would never let go of this opportunity. He is good at making the best use of each character, and the premise of doing so is to understand each person in depth, but everyone generally has a different opinion of the same person, so Anselm came up with such a trick, although Trood is not disgusted by it, but there is always a trace of awkwardness in it.
It turned out that not long after Heald was transferred to Trode's team, Trood was called to Anselm's office for the purpose of evaluating this new star of strength, Brünnhilde, and it was naturally Trode who carried out this secret mission (to be continued. )
