Chapter 1197: Short Board Replacement

"Although it should be a pity that there is not much more this time, but to be honest, I don't want to delay this battle until the evening."

Looking at the river in front of him, Andrei's mood was much better than before, although this did not offset his disgust at the battle.

Speaking of the river in front of them, compared to the little-known stream that Andre and they defended last time, what is now in front of Andre and Xia Bing is the mother river of Germany, the Rhine.

The Rhine is the longest river in Germany. With a length of 865 kilometres and a basin of 40% of Germany's total area, the Rhine River is a vital river that has been indebted to much of Germany's history. As an important international river in Europe, the Rhine has not only contributed to Germany, such as France, Austria and the Netherlands, which have been taken care of by the Rhine.

Now, the Germans relied on the natural barrier of the Rhine River to build their last hope, the Rhine Line, and the entire defensive operation was named Watching the Rhine. It is also self-evident how important the Rhine was to the Germans.

As for the node defended by Trode and Andre today, it can be said that it is a relatively weak area of the Rhine defense line in the entire Rhine Watch Plan. As the Allied forces gradually returned from a state of rest to a mode of continuing to attack, many German units gradually became struggling to support and had to retreat or change their defenses in order to complete the task of defense.

And Trode and Andre are to guard the bridge before the troops in front retreat, as for the fate of the bridge behind, that is not a matter that Trode and Andre should worry about.

But although this is said, judging from the current personnel distribution of the German army, Andrei knows that the bridge will inevitably be blown up, even if he doesn't have to guess. After all, it is more important to cut off a path for an enemy attack than to keep a path for counterattack.

You must know that when the German army quickly invaded the territory of the Soviet army, the Soviet army did not use such a method, but they did not have such a passive approach at that time, so in terms of degree, it was naturally much better than the German army.

However, if you want to talk about the previous battles between the Moral Army and the Soviet Army, in fact, many Soviet soldiers still can't quickly accept that the enemy not long ago immediately became their allies. And this is a very common reason used by the Soviets to delay support the German army.

On the other hand, not everyone on the German side liked to join forces with the Soviet army, including many soldiers who had fought with the Soviet army on the Eastern Front. But now the situation is that if the German army does not suffer a loss and asks the Soviets to help, Germany will be completely defeated.

However, even if this battle is over now, no one can come up with an accurate answer to how much Germany will benefit from the Soviets......

But for Trode and Andre, this kind of thing has long seemed indifferent, and their views on the battle are far less biased than the others, except for their own purposes. Although it can't be called objective, it is the best mentality in the current situation.

And Andrei, as a representative sent by the Soviet Union, is definitely the first Soviet unit to reach the banks of the Rhine, although it is now nominally under the command of the German army, and there is no possibility of leaving casually, but this feeling of being able to slightly suppress Trode has made Andrei very comfortable.

"It's not going to be a violent rainstorm like last time, is it?"

Andrei looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, not to mention such a rainstorm, not even a raindrop could fall. In addition to worrying about heat stroke, Andrei only needs to think about whether he needs to open the top cover of the tank in the later battle.

But to be honest, compared to the winter in Northern Europe where his limbs were frozen and he didn't feel anything, the heat now is really nothing for Andre......

"By the way, Anton's guy's tank ......"

Watching the river flow in front of him, Andrei remembered something in the team - Anton's tank had not been updated for a long time.

Most of the combat vehicles in the team were replaced by T-34-85 medium tanks not long ago to 136 engineering medium tanks, and the other IS-2 is definitely the main model now, but Anton's SU-85 is not to say that it is placed in a squad with such a configuration as Andrey, even in the general Soviet anti-tank squad, it is actually not too good equipment.

Moreover, although the Soviets and Germans have now shaken hands and made peace, Andrei has always regarded Trood as an imaginary enemy. But if he fights Troude, Anton's SU-85 self-propelled anti-tank gun will undoubtedly become the weakness of the entire squad. Although Andre has a chance of not losing to Trode, he doesn't want to keep this shortcoming. After all, apart from mobility and stealth, it doesn't have any performance that can match that of other units.

But what made Andre a little entangled was that after Anton joined his team, these equipment changes have always been handled by Anton.

Before that, Andrei had used some combat exploits and some clever means to get his favorite chariot from above. Although these vehicles may not have been the strongest at the time, they were enough for him.

But after Anton took over this matter, it has undergone a lot of changes - the original equipment that is in sync with the times has gradually become the front end of the times, and even the equipment that surpasses the current era. And this also depends on Anton's miraculous means of negotiation.

Although Andrei had also met with Anton once, to be honest, Andrei still couldn't fully imagine how Anton got so much equipment.

And now, it is Andrei's opinion to replace the chariot for Anton, but Andrei also wants to do it himself, instead of relying on Anton's hand as before they met.

And then the question arises - how can Andrei not get rid of Yu Anton and complete this tank replacement.

Although it seems that it should be a problem that is completely difficult for a squad leader, in fact, for Andrei, it is actually much more difficult than asking him to command the battle......
