Chapter 435: Falling the Chain (Part II)
After Trode and they retracted the defensive line, the pressure suddenly decreased a lot, although the Soviet army was menacing, but after all, there were still a small number of explosive traps and mines, so it should not be a problem for them to stop the Soviet army before they completely retreated. The wounded soldiers had already evacuated first, and the remaining infantry also withdrew from their positions in an orderly manner under the cover of Trood and others.
"Hans, Amphitri, and Heard abandoned their current positions and retreated, and Trana and Alicia moved closer to the middle." Due to several retreats, Trod and they no longer have the strength to maintain the front, and if they continue to hold the front, they will definitely be bitten by the Soviet army. Although the Trodes could be evacuated at any time as a tank unit, their trucks could not fit all the infantry, and even if they were full, more than half of the infantry would have to be withdrawn on foot. Even if they don't carry any heavy weapons, it is difficult to hope that the infantry will be able to outrun the Soviets after such a long battle.
Unlike the previous battles, even Trode never thought of letting the tank troops of the son cover all the infantry retreating, after all, the infantry can break up the troops and evacuate separately, but the armored forces are more embarrassing in front of such a large army, if you don't give yourself time to turn, just reversing will be laughed to death by the Soviet tank crews.
The retreat was largely smooth, and Trood spent a little time to observe the enemy's casualties and how much they had achieved in battle. Although this is not the purpose of their war, it is certainly a good thing to do more to inflict more casualties on the enemy. Trood looked at it, on the way to this retreat, they probably destroyed more than a dozen tanks of the Soviet army, and the infantry could not be counted, but there were hundreds of people, and the casualties on Trode's side during the retreat were minimal, first of all, there were no losses on the tank side, although the infantry side was not clear. But it looks like there should be less than ten people.
"Alright, let's get out!"
When there was still a small number of infantry left in the position, and the Soviets were only more than a thousand meters away from them, Trood finally gave the order to retreat, and all the tanks immediately began to turn, although this exposed the rear of the car, but at this distance there was still no need to worry about being penetrated by the Soviet small-caliber tank guns. But that's when things happened......
"Bell! Boom! ”
Unlike the previous times, Trode's engine made a screeching sound that everyone could hear, and Yorkson, realizing that something bad was going to happen, sped up the movement of his hands, but it was the opposite of his. The tanks are moving more and more slowly.
"Damn! Bad things! Before Trood could fully understand what was going on, Yorkson was already very panicked, because he was the one who knew the most about the movement of the tanks compared to the others, and he was the only one who knew that the current slowdown was far more than a slowing down of the retreat when they came.
"It should be that there is a problem with the engine, I don't know if I can bear it, so be ready to abandon the car." Yorkson was blunt, and told Trode to prepare for the worst in advance, even though he already had an extremely deep affection for the tank. But he didn't have the consciousness to be buried with the tank.
"So serious?" Trood was also panicked by this sudden situation, as the captain of the squad who had been commanding the team, the tank he was in now happened to be a blind spot, and he didn't know much about equipment such as tank engines. Trode also didn't have anything to do, and now he heard Trode say that he was ready to abandon the car, how could this not make him panic.
Except, of course, Trod. Natl is also half stupid, just now he was fighting quite vigorously, and now the tank is suddenly slowing down. And according to the appearance of Yorkson, it seems that there is a tendency to deteriorate further, and now they do not have any individual equipment, and it is really unthinkable that they will get out of the tank.
Noticing that the atmosphere in the car had become very stiff, Yorkson sighed and said, "I just told you to prepare, not to say that you will abandon the car, I am now keeping the speed low, not letting the engine load too much, and trying to keep it until we meet the friendly forces." ”
Trode wiped the sweat from his forehead, patted Yorkson and said, "Then it's up to you, I'll inform the other crews and ask them to wait for us." ”
Trood tried his best to explain the situation to the other crews in a calm tone, but he still didn't explain the option of abandoning the car, because they didn't know the specifics of the tank like Yorkson, so they didn't worry as much as Trood did.
Perhaps it was Yorkson's method that worked, although the engine still made some strange noises occasionally, but the whole tank was still retreating smoothly, and after turning the hull stiffly, it immediately followed the tanks in front of it, ready to quickly leave this position.
Trode looked back at the position he was still holding on to just now, although he had only been here for more than half a day, but after all, he still sweated a lot, and he didn't really want to give up here, but the actual situation did not allow him to make a willful choice.
After the retreat of Trood, the remaining infantry also dispersed and prepared to withdraw from all directions. Although the Soviets wanted to destroy them, their goal was to seize this place, not to completely annihilate Trood, and blindly pursuing them would only waste time and opportunity, so even if they saw Trode's actions, the Soviets almost did not accelerate their advance. As a result, Trod and the others also had a valuable opportunity to retreat, but the situation was not really so smooth......
"Scandium!"
After a muffled sound, Trode's tank panicked violently and stopped in place.
"Isn't it okay?" Trood shouted, at this point in time, he can't have the slightest hesitation, if the engine is really finished, he will definitely choose to abandon the car without hesitation, after all, there will be a life left.
However, Yorkson's face was not as ugly as he imagined, but he said very anxiously: "No, the engine hasn't turned off yet, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing just now......
"What?" Trood didn't understand what Yorkson meant for a moment. However, the tank accelerated in the next instant, and this acceleration was almost back to its original state, as if the malfunction had never happened...... (To be continued.) )
