Chapter 244: Trio Sonata (8)
"Turn your radio frequency to my side!" Trode shouted at several friendly tanks beside him.
There were five tanks in the position, which was not bad in terms of numbers, but it was completely incomparable to the main position they had defended in Trood. First of all, there is no artillery system as complete as the main position, and long-range strikes against the enemy are very problematic. No, it should be said that there will be no more problems at this point right away, because after Trode and Alicia reached the position, the enemy was already pressing, and long-range strikes were almost non-existent.
Another point is the configuration of these five tanks, which is what makes Trod the most entangled. Unlike Trode's elite 47th Division, many armored units are even more than one model behind them, and now Trode's troops are just like that.
Because the front line was stretched too long, some troops who were about to change their outfits had to be pulled to the front line to make up their numbers. For a man like Trode, who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry, he doesn't know what a weapon is not good enough, but this operation really made him really appreciate it. The five tanks on his side now are all miscellaneous F/G/H models, although the Trood tank is also a G/H model with two sides, but!
These tanks are number III!
That's right! At the time when Trode had already abandoned the F model and equipped the G model, and some of them had already entered the H model after transformation, the team next to them was still in the same sub-model as them, but in the place of the previous parent model! It's all F/G/H, but the difference between Trode and them is worlds apart.
This can be a big problem for Trode, as he has lived a rich life since he came up, (the tanks equipped at the beginning are all IV. F2 type, which makes these people embarrassed, but if it is compared with the "other Valkyrie" Hilde, Trod will not be a problem) is not familiar with the specific performance of the III. at all, and it becomes difficult to use it.
But even if Trode wasn't Hans's kind of weapon. Or do you know a little about the III, simply put, the maneuverability is a little better than the IV, but the armor and firepower are a little worse. In the face of the later versions of the IV that Trode and they are driving now, the firepower may not be as simple as that, if nothing else, at least they have no way to deal with the 'Churchill' tank, and they can only think about attacking the flank, and in the case of unreliable accuracy, I don't know how many opportunities to give the III. to have a chance to get a 'Churchill'.
See this. Trood felt that the only way to survive was to win in the face of danger, and after a few words with Alicia, the two agreed on a plan and prepared to start executing it immediately.
First, Trood had the infantry withdraw from the first two lines of defense. At first, the plan was questioned by the position commander, but Trode was forced to give in and eventually carried out his orders. The other five III tanks all withdrew from their positions and drove outside, ready to harass the enemy's troops.
Although it is a trick to lure the enemy deep and add a sparrow-style attack. But there are obvious loopholes in this plan, and there is more than one!
First of all, the positions of five tanks, plus the infantry, retreated two lines of defense. The position became even more invulnerable to enemy onslaught; On the other hand, the raiding team composed of five III.s. is quite numerous, but it is really lacking in power. On the basis of guaranteeing yourself, you simply cannot inflict too much damage on the enemy. No matter how you look at it, he is fighting for the enemy to chase the five III. As long as the enemy does not do this, he is almost completely defeated!
Although it was such a bad move, but no one raised any objections, perhaps Trode's rank was the largest here, and they were powerless to refute it, perhaps
Not long after, five III. vehicles circled the enemy's flank and began to attack. And the enemy, as if not to let Trode's treacherous plan succeed, only sent 5 tanks to defend. Although the III had a better chance of fighting these old Anglo-French tanks in equal numbers, Trood ordered them to go too far and to harass the enemy rather than destroy them. Based on this order, it has become more difficult to destroy the enemy on the outside.
On the other hand, in front of the position, where the German troops had withdrawn, the horizon was empty. However, it would not be long before they would be filled with British and French troops, and that was when Trood was in real crisis.
Although Trode's step had been completely seen through by the enemy on the opposite side, in this North African land, they did not know how much they had suffered from the cunning Germans, and this time their commander was one of them. In addition to the fear of the Germans, his own cautious attitude also made him dare not be careless, although the position in front of him was already within reach, but if he lost additional troops because of his arrogance, it would be extremely unworthy, so even if the situation was so, he still had to follow the steps set before, step by step.
It didn't take long for their tanks to press in front of the first line of defense. The German anti-tank guns had been put away by themselves long before they arrived, and although the two vanished IV tanks were a little worrying, he really didn't believe that the two of them could make any waves. However, just in case, he also photographed 3 tanks along the side of the position to reconnoitre, although there is no news yet, but it does not affect them to continue to advance.
Looking at the first trench that was close at hand, the commander was already too excited to express his feelings in words, and he quickly ordered all the tanks to line up and prepare to press through the trench. The advantage of this is that all the infantry can be lowered into the trench in an instant, and there will be no situation where the infantry behind them will be exposed to enemy guns due to the bumps of the tank over the trench. And only after sending the infantry into the trenches can they completely free their hands and feet and turn into real tanks, and not the shields of the infantrymen.
Since the width of the infantry trench is much less than that of the anti-tank trench, as long as the tank does not deviate too far from the angle of the trench and presses straight over, it will only produce some bumps, and it will not cause much problem for its travel, let alone any damage to the tank.
However, everything should be like this (to be continued.) )
