Chapter 269: Defeat (Part II)

"Damn, why are there snipers everywhere!?" Even if Trode knew what was going on, there was nothing he could do about it; And Hans, although close, but they still have to keep an eye on the enemy's armored forces, and at this moment, they are the only ones who can help them dodge the bullets.

One, two, three, and in the end, Hans didn't know how many of his comrades had fallen in front of his eyes, and a rough count showed that the number of them before their departure was slightly more than the number of people they rescued after they returned

After gathering all the men, Hans's side finally set off again. It didn't take long for them to meet Marcus and Amphiteri, who had come to meet them, and two T-26S appeared in the woods to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack. However, they were unlucky, and one of them was directly interrupted by Amphitri's crew, and in the subsequent shooting, it was pierced through the hull by its high-piercing 75mm gun, hitting the fuel tank, so that it could be slightly "warmed" under the ice and snow

As for the Trode, although there are not many of them, those Soviets are not stupid enough to fight that behemoth, and as far as the situation is concerned, it seems that leaving them alone is the best option. However, for Troll, now they are also truly in a state of power, and he can't do anything but communicate with the five tanks on the other side.

But that was the end of the ten, and after Hans and the others shook off the enemy's pursuit under the cover of Marcus and Amphitri, they were never ambushed or attacked again, and soon returned to the village; On the Trood side, he was completely abandoned by the enemy, and although he was cautious all the way, the quietness in the woods could not even make people believe that he had just experienced such a cruel scene, and all that could record this was the bright red and broken German uniforms of that place

Since the enemy's snipers may still be on the prowl, the commander here after learning about the situation. I can only endure the pain of throwing those corpses into the wilderness, if more people are riding in for this matter, it is too worthless.

After the war, Trode recalled the incident. Not counting the last fire reconnaissance data that can no longer be relied on, they destroyed a total of two enemy tanks on this trip, and judging from the reported situation, the crew members of the T-26S have a small probability of survival, so let's count them as killed for the time being, so there are three more enemies on the battle list.

However, this is compared to their losses. Still a little too small - a squad of sixteen scouts, nine killed, four wounded, one of them seriously wounded. This casualty ratio of more than half can no longer be described by a single word "miserable". If it weren't for Trode's quick response, it would have turned into a war of annihilation against them by Soviet snipers, and Trode wouldn't know what face he would have to come back to.

He felt a deep remorse, even though he knew that there was nothing wrong with his wartime command this time, and if there was a change on the spot, although the Soviets on the other side had been prepared. But it is still quite difficult to find a lot of breakthroughs by Trode, if you have to say whose fault it is, it can only be said that this tactic was being formulated. It's a little bit inadequate.

However, Trode was more concerned about the enemy's condition than this tactical mistake. Although this time the enemy's armored forces were taken by surprise on several occasions, they did hit Trod by surprise. But it can only be said that they are still very untrained. If it was Trod's 217 squad, it would definitely be able to destroy at least two enemy tanks in such an advantageous situation. And the reason why they were able to seize many opportunities. In Trode's view, it must have relied heavily on their sniper play.

This is also the point that Trod is most concerned and worried about, and in this battle, the actions of the enemy snipers are really eye-catching. Although they only killed nine people until the end, the level of pressure and chaos they created for Trode was not theoretically possible for a few snipers. Although there are some elements of boasting in it, Trode still feels that in terms of tank tactics, they still have a little success, but even so, it is a little pale in front of these snipers, if they are given a little more time to prepare, Tlot does not dare to imagine what the consequences will be.

At noon that day, while Trode was having lunch, he got together with Derek and the commander stationed in the village for a while. Derek was slightly taken aback when he heard about Trode's experience. As for why he didn't show a particularly surprised expression, Trood could guess. However, the situation on their side was better than that of Trood, although several brothers died under the sniper's gun, but Derek and the others also eliminated an enemy ambush team, but unfortunately, they were not the members of the sniper team. Although they have made some gains, they have failed in terms of their initial strategic goals.

After listening to the two tank squad leaders talk about their experiences in the morning, the infantry commander's expression became more and more solemn, and Trode, seeing that his expression was not quite right, asked: "With all due respect, how long before did your position start in this state?" ”

He shook his head with a rather ugly face and said, "We haven't been here for long, although the enemy's guerrillas have come to sneak attack, but there has never been a sniper incident, and the one who will wound you yesterday is the first time." ”

"What?" Derek asked aloud. Because Derek couldn't believe what he said, whether it was from Trode's side or from his side, it was obvious that the enemy was prepared, even in the face of such a powerful tank team, it was possible to fight hard, and even the possibility of defeating them, to say that this situation was only beginning to show signs yesterday when Trode and he had just arrived, Derek really couldn't believe it.

Trode propped up the table, looked at the table and said: "The orders we have received are strictly confidential, and they should not be passed on, if this is just a simple coincidence, then we are too unlucky." Although there were many rumors about Soviet snipers before they came, this time they may not be ordinary snipers in front of us" (to be continued. )
