Chapter 50: The Same Option
"Amphitri, Marcus, you continue to reverse. Also, shoot high-explosive bombs on the ground and cover yourselves with smoke. "My current position is quite far from the center of the battlefield, and my analysis of the situation is very clear.
"Trode, they're running away!" Hans, for his part, was also in constant contact with me, keeping control of the situation.
I saw what he said, they probably split up half of their forces to deal with us, and the other half turned around again, which is undoubtedly to escape!
This kind of strategy is a general for me now, and if we still want to eat them all for such a behavior of sacrificing the car to protect the commander, I am afraid that my teeth will be broken.
Without much thought, I replied to Hans directly: "Let them go." It seems that they are planning to give us all this half, so we will take it all without damage. ”
Although the number of enemies has been reduced by half, the pressure has not decreased, because at first they have too many tanks, and many vehicles in the middle are blocked by friendly forces on the outside, so their firepower advantage is not fully exploited, but now it is different.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the French didn't take care of our two assault guns, and the scattered pressure around us was barely manageable. We are like tightrope clowns in the circus, thrilling, but everything is under control.
I instructed Nattle to aim more at their counter-attacking arrowheads, so that the pressure on Amphitri and them would be reduced. But I don't dare to let our men aim there, because it would expose our intentions, and if we were caught by an enemy like this who was already ready to die, it would really be a disaster.
In fact, in this battle now, the hardest working in our crew is the Yorkson, which has high requirements for distance and speed. Of course, if you think that he is the kind of silent man of action, according to Nattell, he drove at a very young age, and when he drove he became crazy, I had already learned about this state in the night battle a while ago, but if you compare the state of the time with the present, it is really a small thing.
Although he himself admitted that the IV tank did not have the stimulation of the II and III, even so, he had already entered a state of madness. From time to time, we make strange noises such as "whoa, ahhhhh
Just after I wiped off the cold sweat from a certain madman, a communication came from Vincent's side: "Troude, what are you going to do, in the current situation, let Amphitri and the others withdraw to my side, it is still too late for you to pursue them." ”
I fell silent after listening to his advice, Vincent would not say such unfounded words, the reason why I told Hans just now that he could not pursue is because the tempo is still in the hands of the enemy, and we have no spare power to deal with them. But now it's different, we have clearly taken the initiative, and as Vincent said, even if two tanks are transferred, it won't make much of a difference.
Moreover, with the speed of the two of us, it would be easy to catch up with the fleeing French cars, and although we couldn't wipe them all out, it would be nice to be able to destroy a few more. It shouldn't be a day or two before we garrison Batna, these French tanks are the enemy we will have to face sooner or later, and it will not be so easy to deal with them when they attack again in groups. As the saying goes, "take advantage of their illness to kill them", and this is not a good opportunity.
But I'm also afraid, I'm afraid that something will happen to this side after I and Amphitri are withdrawn, and if the fleeing enemy is signaled to put on a defensive formation, Alicia and I will not take advantage of it.
After much deliberation, I decided to continue with my current plan and abandon the pursuit of the enemy completely. When I contacted Vincent, he also affirmed my decision, although I think he would approve of my choice no matter what I did
Back in front of us, the number of enemies began to slowly decrease under our attrition. Due to the distance, we were able to stop and aim properly, which allowed us to skyrocket our efficiency, and Natel seized the moment to stop and vented a shell. A D2 tank was fired directly under his accurate fire, and the turret was shocked and flew diagonally, hitting the other D1 tank, although this did not cause any actual damage to it, but the psychological pressure should not be ordinary.
Due to the design of the French tanks, the reinforcement of the front and rear made the side armor relatively fragile, and almost did not have the ability to ricochet, with the depth of penetration of our main guns, as long as the distance was appropriate, hitting their side armor, almost no wear.
It didn't take long for us to destroy almost all the tanks in front of us, and the remaining two or three tank members also chose to surrender.
"Cut, is it a cover to put on a counterattack?" I took a sip of phlegm and watched through my binoculars as the tracks of the French tanks that had run away rubbed on the ground and billowed with smoke, and I had nothing to do with them.
"Everyone's okay, right?" In fact, if the tank is fine, the people inside will naturally be fine, and I just want to feel at ease.
I had the French honestly gather around and wait for the troops in the city to take them away, and they honestly didn't do anything stupid, but I saw that some of them were laughing. I understood what his laughter meant, and even though I was angry, I couldn't do anything with him.
With nowhere to vent, I snatched a cigarette and a lighter from Vincent, put it in my mouth and lit it, barely touching it, and choked on the thick smoke as soon as I came up, followed by a violent cough. Vincent smiled and patted me on the back and said that I was still too tender, took the cigarette in my hand and continued to smoke it myself, the same cigarette, he could spit out a complete smoke ring in style, and I could only inhale it in my lungs and cough it out in embarrassment, which made me sigh deeply.
I looked up at the sky and watched the clouds move slowly, when suddenly a strong sleepiness swept over me, and I remembered that I had barely slept last night, and I gave a big hache and stretched as I walked towards my own tank
