A corner of town

After Hans's group had applied Amphitri's tactics, the French fled as expected, and Hans did not pursue.

Hans looked at the three empty tanks in front of him helplessly, he didn't expect his mission to be completed like this, he asked his communications soldiers to tune the channel to Trode's side, but the atmosphere there didn't seem to be right

"Trode, how are you doing over there, I've scared them away here for the time being." Hans asked quietly.

But Trode's answer was something Hans didn't expect, and he screamed, even questioning his own ears, "What do you say! ”

Outside battlefields

The ambush mission on Vincent's side, after destroying three enemy squads, was in full swing, and the French army had already issued a clear order to destroy this squad.

And at this time, Vincent felt that he had to withdraw, he had attracted enough attention from the French army, and if he continued like this, he would inevitably be caught by others.

Vincent urged his team to withdraw from the encirclement that the enemy was about to form, he picked up the microphone and asked with a slight smile, "Trode, how is the progress on your side and Leona?" ”

After hearing the reply, Vincent's eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for me, I'll be there soon!" ”

Center Vortex

Trode's squad did not improve its situation after joining up with Leona's team, but instead attracted a larger number of French troops. Just now, due to the self-sacrificing actions of the 717 crew, the pressure on Trode has decreased slightly, but it is still difficult to break through the defense line now, and Hans and their support can only be used as the last trump card, and it is unrealistic to wait for reinforcements here.

After a short period of thought, Trode decided to break through from Leona's planned position. Trood asked Leona to inquire about the situation in the position, and learned that they were still trying to create a gap, but the French line was like a glue-stained board, and they were now in a rather awkward position.

Although Trode was not far from that position, it seemed impossible to break through in a straight line now, and Trode took advantage of an inadvertent opportunity of the French army to smash his squad headlong into an alley. Of course, the French army immediately followed behind them, but at the speed of those "tractors", as long as Trod and them were not seriously delayed, they would not be too much of a threat.

Before the French army could make a big move, Trode needed to immediately adjust the formation of his team, and he said without thinking: "I'll take the lead with Alicia, Marcus is in the middle, and Leona and the IV are in charge of the rear." ”

"Roger!" The formation of the squad was changed directly in the middle of the march, and it was extremely efficient, which was unimaginable in ordinary street battles.

Trood's biggest threat is not the frontal defense, but this large number of alleys, if the French tank is hidden inside, it can completely hit the Trode they are caught off guard, although the main gun of the French tank is generally not high, but if you are facing the side armor of the IV. tank, as long as the timing is right, it is not difficult to penetrate.

Now, with his memories of Butna, Trode is trying to avoid the most likely ambushes. They zigzagged through the winding alleys, as if they were playing hide-and-seek with the French.

However, another disadvantage of this tactic is that the Trode began to encounter more and more resistance, but the anti-tank armament based on the French soldiers is really weak, as long as they do not encounter the French B1 heavy tank and SOMUAS-35 medium tank, the other enemy can basically be judged as no threat.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR BREAK-UP, TRODE'S TEAM ENCOUNTERED TWO VEHICLES EACH OF THE B1 AND SOMUAS-35, BUT THEY MANAGED TO FORM AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE AGAINST THE VEHICLES BEHIND THEM WITH THE SOLID FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE IV. At such close proximity to street fighting, the French tanks had become indistinguishable from papier-mâché before the German-made KwK40L/43, with the exception of a few rounds that were deflected by mobile fire, and all of them penetrated their frontal armor.

Just as Trode and the others were forcing a position consisting only of infantry, Trode caught a glimpse of a French soldier on the second floor of a nearby building, holding a French F-1-M1915 grenade in his hand, pulling down the fuse, knocking it hard and throwing it straight at Trode

"Boom!"

A puff of white smoke rose from the 217 car's conning tower, but the tank continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

Just now, when Trode saw the danger, he immediately lowered his body and dragged Natl and Stein with his left and right hands at the same time, the latter immediately understood, and the three of them made a shockproof pose together. After the explosion, Trode also said briefly on the radio: "I'm fine." ”

The French army did not have cluster grenades, and the explosion power of a single F-type grenade was not as powerful as the German Type 24 wooden-handled grenade, which for the current German tank, could only have the effect of shaking the occupants of the vehicle.

After a corner, Trode saw the situation in front of him clearly for the first time, and then quickly commanded: "There are two D2 medium tanks in front, Alysia and Leona are responsible for knocking them out with me, and the other crews will wash their positions with high-explosive bombs for me!" ”

Trood and they broke through this improvised defensive line, which was already the third line they forced through, and it was lucky that they hadn't been destroyed yet. However, the shallow white bullet marks on their chariots were wordless to tell what a hard battle they had just experienced

Trode looked at the French line in front of him, and at some point, in his eyes, the tanks had begun to burn, and the French soldiers were also bleeding on the spot

He shouted, giving the final order to charge: "Rush forward!" Fight with them! For the glory of the Iron Cross! For our comrades-in-arms! For the sake of our loved ones in our hometown! ”

By the time Hans and Vincent arrived, Trode had already broken out, and the sadness and anger on their faces were incomprehensible, and beyond that, there was some exhaustion. But they know that the battle is far from over!
