Hearing Hans's words, I opened the top cover of the tank and poked my head out.

"What task? We've just had a good meal, and our butts haven't even sat down, and we're going to the front? ”

"Almost. But fortunately, the combat mission is expected to be the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow we will mainly be on the road, and the distance is not too far. Hans said very easily: "And this operation is just to rush to the aid of a reinforced position, just now I learned from the non-commissioned officer of the unit that changed the defense, the defense of that position is no problem to block the British pigs, we go mainly to carry out fire support, reduce casualties." ”

"That's pretty much it, and there's the question of that command," I still have concerns.

But he interrupted me and said, "Don't worry, I've already spoken to Sergeant Vincent and Sergeant Leona about this, and you don't have to worry about that for the time being." ”

"That's good." I lowered my head and said to the car, "Let's all go get our small arms and have a good meal and sleep tonight." Gather your spirits and get ready to go to the front. ”

Later, we received our spare weapon, the MP40 submachine gun, which is known for its excellent accuracy, although its rate of fire is not fast enough, but the 9mm Parabellum pistol cartridge is also effective at close range with good accuracy, and because of its short barrel and small footprint, it is a powerful weapon for tank crews. As for grenades, you don't need that kind of thing in the car, no one can say where the opponent's shells will hit, and this kind of thing that will explode is absolutely not wanted.

In the evening, we sat together. The cafeteria just killed a pig tonight, and we were lucky enough to have a fresh taste of pork. I was coming to the flask of Natle, and I took a sip and felt a little wrong, but I just took a sip and didn't feel it clearly.

"Natle, what's wrong with your brandy? Feeling a little angry? I looked at him quizzically.

"It's champagne, but there's no brandy." He proudly explained to me that it was like showing off his wonderful children to others.

"Where did you get so much wine, kid?" I said it a little jokingly. And I found a detail, this kid should have drunk a lot of wine since the beginning of the meal, but it's all right. No, if he drinks too much and gets drunk and pulls me along, that's the worst. But even though I said that, I was still a little disappointed, which made me obey myself.

"You're going to drink, but there's still a lot of it, haha."

"That's decided, you won't be allowed to hide it then, haha."

And just like that, we had a lively and enjoyable evening.

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, we set off.

The moment I saw Yorkson driving, the whole person became full of energy.

"Yorkson, how is this tank, is it easy to drive?" After all, it was the first time he had driven this type of car, so I asked.

"No problem, it's a little less agile and maneuverable than the III I drove before, but it's not bad." I couldn't see the look on his face, but his confident answer reassured me.

The long yellow sand could not stop our advance, and we marched quickly towards the front line, silent all the way

At noon, we arrived, the final leg of our journey.

"Hello, Lieutenant. I'm Commander Nether here. ”

"Hello, may we have a happy cooperation."

After greeting the position, we began to discuss the immediate defense work, as well as the further battle plan.

Nether laid a map out in front of me.

"This is our position, and the place has a position in each of our X and I directions, and their troops are not very large. Although they can flank us left and right, our 3 o'clock direction is a cliff, so the area from the right is not very large, and it is not difficult for us to hold it. He told us as he pointed out some key points on the map.

"There is also an important piece of information, there is also a mountain between these two positions, although it is not very high, but at least it cannot rush to each other's aid." Nether said, pointing to the contour line between the two positions in the place.

"Nesser, what do you mean by that? Let's attack? "I sensed a change in Nether's tone when he said this, and in light of the peculiarities of the enemy's position, he came to a conclusion.

"Yes, sir. However, the attack will wait for reinforcements to come. Speaking of this, Nether smug look: "Just this morning, our lurking outpost blew up their fuel truck with anti-tank rifles, and I guess those British pigs are in a hurry to stomp their feet right now." I reported the situation to the above, and the General Staff issued a new order: let's wait for you and the reinforcements of another unit that has just been sent out, and prepare to take these two positions together. ”

"I see, Hans, what do you think?" I called Hans to me.

"There are no problems, it's just that we need four tank pits now to hide our tanks. It's going to have to trouble your people to help. ”

"That's no problem, I'll immediately tell the people below to do it. We now have only two PaK38 50mm light anti-tank guns on our positions, and the task of dealing with enemy armored forces is left to you. ”

"Okay, then Hans you take the 178 and 403 cars and go to the right side of the position, and I take the 217 and 716 cars to the left side of the position."

"No problem, let's do it. Lads, grab your shovels and dig four pits for our tanks behind the trenches. ”

With the help of fraternal troops, the "trenches" belonging to us were quickly completed.

A moment later.

"Report to sir, the British have called. And tank units were used, although no self-propelled guns were found, but they had more than twice as many tanks than we expected! "A soldier hurried to report to Nether in front of me.

"How is that possible? We've spotted only a few tanks, when did they get reinforcements? Nether was shocked when he heard the soldier's report.

"No problem, didn't your support just arrive?" I patted him on the shoulder, "Since you're here, you can only welcome, and everyone is ready to attack!" ”
