"What?" Trood didn't react to what Vincent meant for a moment, but he didn't refute Vincent's decision to cancel the pursuit.

Vincent didn't rush to explain to Trode, but decided to move on to the next step first, and he said into the microphone: "Find your way first, and continue to your destination." ”

Although there are plains all around, there is no reference to speak of, but the compass in Trode's hand is still useful, and he can find the predetermined direction according to the map. Although it was a little difficult to get back to the original route, they had not moved more than a kilometer since they were attacked in Trood. Although this kilometer will gradually expand as they move, their target position is not as small as a pebble, and as long as they don't deviate too much, it is still easy to find.

After Trood had reoriented the team and started on the march, Vincent offered to tell Trode and the rest of the crew why he was doing so.

"Remember 'AMX-ELC'?"

It was just a short sentence from Vincent, but it seemed to stir up a huge ripple on the silent water, and everyone seemed to be enlightened at that moment, and they all knew it without Vincent's words.

Trode let out a sigh and said, "It turns out that the so-called hiding place doesn't exist!" It's just the product of our subjective speculation, and it would be strange if we could find it. ”

Alicia also sighed and said, "After all, it's been so long, if I hadn't mentioned it this time, I would have forgotten about it." ”

"Yes." Trode continued, "If it's the 'AMX-ELC' model, it's hard to find anything, even if there's nothing to hide. Moreover, if it is him, the shooting accuracy is so poor, there can be a more reasonable explanation. ”

"Is it still a test this time?" Hans made a point with some apprehension.

The new 'AMX-ELC' light tank studied by the French army. It was discovered by the 47th Division (it was later confirmed that at the same time that Trood and Derek spotted them, two other squads were attacked by them.) Trode, on the other hand, was busy with Marcus's time, so they reported the situation a little late, and they were behind the other two squads. A new type of tank designed by the French army, which is essentially different from the traditional heavy armor tank, in this 'AMX-ELC', the speed and concealment are emphasized to be enhanced, and the firepower has also been greatly improved. Although the fire control system is still immature, it is already a hundred times stronger than the original tank.

The last time Trood discovered the ELC, it was still in beta, but now that a few months have passed, it's hard to say if the tests are all complete. Some time ago, the British and German troops engaged in fierce urban battles and hand-to-hand combat around Tripoli, and this kind of short tank naturally did not have much room to live because of its weak armor. And now. The Germans' battle lines were stretched and their troops were scattered, and it was a good opportunity to conduct a sneak attack, and this lightweight tank was once again brought to the stage as a matter of course.

Hans continued with a worried tone: "It's better to say that it's still testing. However, if it has already been mass-produced, it will not be advantageous to fight in this combat area, including the new 'Tiger' tank. ”

"It's so fast, after all." Trood sighed. Regaining his original energetic tone, he said: "Let's hurry up to the destination for now, after all, that kind of tank is no matter how good it is, with its level of protection." It still can't be put on the table in the battle of tough battles. ”

After saying that, the team also increased its speed and began to move quickly towards the target position, and there was no more sneak attack by the enemy along the way

"Hello, I'm Lieutenant Trood, who was ordered to support your unit this time."

After greeting the local commander, Trode's squad was also ready for defense, and the eight pits for hiding tanks prepared for them were also prepared under Trode's advance orders, and they unceremoniously drove the tanks directly into it. But there is still a little trouble here, because the details are still not explained, all the pits are built according to the standards of the IV tank, and the IV and the 'Tiger' type of the 217 squad are completely ineffective, but with the cooperation of Trode and the local infantry, this problem was immediately solved.

Although the exact location of the pits has not been said in advance, from the deployment of these eight pit positions, Trod's commander here still has sufficient defensive experience - these eight firing points are very average, and the cooperation between them can play quite a good effect.

The rest is the same as expected, Trood and they need to wait for the enemy to come and then counterattack, which is the so-called waiting for the rabbit.

But such a time is always difficult, Trood first found the communication device in the position, sent a report about the 'AMX-ELC' to the headquarters in the rear, and then returned to the position, confirmed that his team's tanks were in good condition, and then called everyone to gather for lunch.

At lunchtime, the topic of ELC was naturally brought to the table, and Trood followed up to chat, although this new tank revealed a mysterious atmosphere from the inside out, which was very appealing, but in the end it was because there was too little information to be discarded. After that, someone asked about the recent battle plan, and Tlord only answered him very matter-of-factly: "It's just a boring wait." ”

The crowd was quite dissatisfied with this answer, but they were helpless but to complain about the cunning and cowardice of the enemy.

Actually, Trode still doesn't understand the little thing they were thinking in their hearts? It's because the food in this place is so bad that they don't want to spend an extra meal here, and if the enemy doesn't come all the time, they don't know how long they will eat this broken can. Thinking of this, Trode couldn't help but curse the British and French in his heart

After lunch, the Trode, as the only armored unit, had no time to rest at all, but it was quite uncomfortable to sit in the tank all the time, so they had to spend their boring afternoon in the open space outside the tank (to be continued). )
