Chapter 21 New Strategies
"What now? It's enemy-occupied territory ahead. Vincent's voice came from the headphones.
I analyzed the current situation: "There should not be many troops in front, and we are still safe in this section. But moving on is the enemy's next underground fortification, which has not yet been occupied by us, and it is impossible to break through from that side with our strength and current state. ”
Of course, the situation is not a dead end, and I said my thoughts to them: "However, I remember that there is a fork in the road, and if we turn left, I think we can"
Yorkson waited for an opportunity to remind me: "There are mines over there, and we can't get out." ”
I knew this information when I first arrived, and there were all kinds of mines outside this exit, whether it was our tanks or infantry, it was our own death to walk from that side.
However, I didn't intend to escape from there: "I know, but there's no other way now, we're hiding inside." ”
After a short time, we marched to our destination, because the enemy's tank force was mainly infantry tanks, and in order to prevent our ambush, they would definitely slow down, which would be much worse than our medium tanks, so we still had plenty of time to prepare before they pursued us.
I commanded my tank unit and the infantry we had saved: "This is it, brothers, get out of the car, Leona, you drive in with two assault guns, the front of the car rushes out, and the others are responsible for cleaning their tracks." ”
Vincent looked at me when he saw that I had not called his name, and the aura in his eyes showed that he had guessed what I was about to say.
I nodded at him as if I had replied to him and said, "Vincent, drive the car with me to the right aisle." ”
Leona seemed to notice something was wrong, and shouted at me, "Troude, what do you want to do?!" ”
However, his reaction was also expected by me: "Don't do anything, that position, if it is discovered, it will be a dead end, and someone must lead them to another road." ”
But she immediately stated the essence of my operation: "You want to sacrifice your two crews to protect us? Don't be silly! You"
I interrupted her and smiled, trying to reassure her a little: "I'm not going to sacrifice myself, and on the contrary, I'm going to do everything I can to catch up!" ”
Her emotions had already begun to get very excited, and the soldiers around her had inadvertently slowed down their work and watched the conversation between the two of us.
Leona's face flushed with her head down, and she finally said a sentence after holding back for a long time: "Then we will fight back here!" We'll be able to."
I interrupted her again, and it seemed to me that she could no longer think properly in her emotions, and in order to make her really listen to me, I could only shout, "Don't talk stupidly! Calm down, we can't stay here, the enemy has new tanks, and meeting the enemy head-on with our forces is just hitting a stone with an egg! ”
I know what she is thinking, she has always held the mentality that I will sacrifice my small self to fulfill the big me, I should have made my thoughts clear to him, and then try to convince her. But now I don't have that much time for me to squander on this, and the sense of urgency of time makes me more or less excited, and before I know it, I raise my voice.
Just as my argument with Leona was heating up, Vincent said, "Enough! We don't have time to argue here, Trode, pay attention to who you're talking to, how can you yell at a lady. And then there's Leona, I believe Trode. There's no other way around it now, that's all we have to do, and you have to accept it. Remember, it is a soldier's duty to obey orders. ”
After that, we both fell silent, and Leona bowed her head as if in acceptance, but her face was still clouded.
After preparing to stop, Vincent's tank and I made two or three more trips back and forth in this place, camouflaging multiple false track marks, and then drove forward.
I pressed the microphone button and said slowly, word by word, "Now listen to every word I say, Leona, if you don't want me and Vincent to die, this is your only chance." There are Amphitri and Marcus, who are very demanding of your assault guns in the canyon. Finally, there is Vincent, you are responsible for all actions with me, grasp the timing, one mistake and we may be finished. ”
There was no echo in the headphones, they just listened to me in silence. But the microphone shouldn't have been turned on, so why did I seem to hear Leona's sobs, forget it, now isn't the time to care about this, just take it as a damn hallucination.
At this time, Hans's phrase "Be careful" rang in my ears again, but
The afternoon before yesterday, as I was eating that belated lunch, I found it hard to swallow. Roy came to me with a lunch box.
Roy walked over slowly, accompanied by his signature somewhat silly smile: "Troude, what's the matter, you look very depressed lately." ”
"It's fine, I'm fine." I shoved several more pieces of potatoes into my mouth and chewed hard, "This potato is still pretty good, what do you think?" ”
"Cut, don't pretend." He sat down next to me and said as he ate, "I don't know you yet? I know what you're thinking, but I'm probably struggling with the way you've been fighting lately. ”
Although I was curious that he could understand my psychology, I watched him say these words lightly, and there was a little resistance in my heart, which should have been more or less on my face.
However, he didn't mind my attitude, and still said lightly: "It's true that there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but sometimes being too cautious and not being brave enough to fight will cost you a lot of good opportunities." Sometimes it's only audacity that makes things happen, and you have to remember that boldness is not unscrupulous. With that, he patted the dust on his ass and stood up.
When I heard this, I realized what he meant, and wanted to stop him and continue to listen to what he said, but he ran away first, saying something nonsense about "potatoes are so delicious, I need to ask for more".
