Chapter XXXII Ammunition

In the afternoon, we were replaced from the front and began to trim.

"How did the supply of ammunition and fuel come so slowly? We've been waiting here for almost an hour. Sitting on a rectangular yellow ammunition box, Yorkson was holding a crowbar in his hand to open the large green box in front of him.

"Come on, Nattle, Roy, here's the bullet for your two MG34T." When Yorkson beckoned them to go over to get their ammunition, he also noticed something.

He asked me, "Trode, what are you doing all this day?" It's so hard to get a supply, and it's not right. There should be a lot of fuel, but it seems that there is a lot of ammunition missing. Are you sure you've made it clear to them about our situation? They won't be treated as supplies for normal battles. ”

Of course, I knew he was referring to our running out of ammunition, but there was a reason for it: "Vincent and I had to work hard to get these ammunition, and we had about two-thirds of them." ”

"What's going on? Could it be because Nattle and Roy, the two pigs, have too much ammunition to fight? Got people angry? "It's normal for him to be a little confused.

"People are angry, but it's not their fault." I hurriedly explained to him, "No, it's a large part of the people who have supply problems. Our supply lines have been attacked more than once, and for this reason, except for the most important troops, the other incorrect supplies are far from meeting the requirements. ”

He gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "These damn bastards, they really know how to pick the time, do we have any countermeasures now?" ”

Hearing this, I also sighed softly: "Eh, you are on the point this time, which is why I have been going for so long." ”

"What? Got a task? He looked a little curious.

I asked him to put down his work first, and listened to me say slowly: "This mission is not easy, and it is precisely because of this excuse that Vincent and I can ask for a lot of more supplies." The mission was one thing in general - catch the thief, and at night! ”

"Night?!" , Hearing this, he was even more energetic: "That means we're going to have a night battle?" What is the configuration of the other party. ”

"Well, it's not too exact, but it should be three British cruiser tanks. Every time they ran after the battle, the troops transporting resources suffered more or less several losses, and they all appeared at night. I swallowed my saliva and continued: "Recently, we have been fighting a war of attrition, and the consumption of ammunition far exceeds the estimated value, which is why there is a situation of transporting supplies at night, who would have thought that they would find this opportunity." ”

"I'm not very interested in any of that, the question is how to catch this thief? It's still a little difficult to chase those cruiser tanks at our speed, and it's such a big place, how can we start? He said what she was worried about, but I already had a strategy for dealing with it.

I gave him a weird smile and told him, "We're going to play a game with these English fake gentlemen this time to let them know what happens if they don't follow chivalry."

The next night, 4 of our tanks were mixed in the convoy of transports, and for reasons of flexibility, the two assault guns did not join our queue.

There are eight trucks in this transport fleet, but four of them are not quite right. In fact, it is clear that they do not have wheels behind them. These four cars were our disguised trucks, and we had four wooden boxes that had no bottom, a hole in the top, and no baffle on one side. In this way, our tank can be fixed on the turret when the main gun is charged, and the entire hull can be blocked, except for the main gun only to have no baffle on one side, on the contrary there are only a few large holes for the signal and the driver, when the turret activity area does not exceed a certain range, the wooden plank will not block their view.

In fact, our camouflage methods are very inferior, and if it were daytime, I don't know how many people would laugh off their big teeth. However, tonight we have done everything with the lights, and the lack of power supply makes them shine very little, so as not to expose ourselves to our headlights, it should be said that they are not used for lighting at all, but to attract attention. In addition, at night, there is no difference between tracks and tires, this time we are already ready, only the east wind is owed.

"Hey! Trode, you really want to figure this thing out. Nattle had said this when he had first seen the wooden disguise this afternoon, but he couldn't help but say it again, remembering the shocked look on his face. At that time, Hans and Leona were shocked by the strategy that Vincent and I had discussed from the command, and they both kept touching the wood, and Hans said in a thoughtful voice, "It's too messy, it's too messy."

After all, it wasn't my own business, I was just involved, and he said it as if it was all my work: "This method is really interesting, and we and the people in the command were just thinking about it at the time, who knew that the brother in charge of the design said that it would be absolutely fine for them to make such a disguise, so we will try it after that." The effect is obvious. ”

I turned on the microphone and repeated to the other cars what I had said several times: "The trucks are empty, and the drivers are ready, so don't worry too much about the loss." As is their usual practice, the first one is destroyed, and then the last one. Truck drivers will evacuate the moment they are attacked, then fire flares at the enemy, remember to aim the first round carefully, and try to end the fight within two rounds of concentrated fire. If the enemy escapes, the commander immediately opens the gap in the wooden camouflage, unloads it and immediately pursues him. Now be on alert! ”

"Yes!"

After hearing the fluent answer, I breathed a sigh of relief and stuck my head out of the car to look outside. Although it was pitch black in front of me, the touch on my hand was very real - it was a gap in the wooden board, and if you clasped it up with your hand, the wooden camouflage would immediately break into two pieces, and this design was used for our pursuit.

Since the enemy is not stupid enough to come to us with the headlights on, all we have to do now is wait, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
