"Bella! Where's my reinforcements?! ”

When the reinforcements went wrong, Andrei's first thought was that Bella had no problems, although Andrei had always thought that nothing would go wrong in this regard, but now it seems that he still oversimplifies the problem. However, after this problem, it was not Andre who was most troubled, but Bella, who had clearly released the flare exactly according to the original steps, and as for the reinforcements not arriving as planned, this was something she had never expected.

However, no matter what Bella says now, Andre can't believe it, and on Andre's side, the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the current situation. Although they still have the upper hand now, it is not easy to continue fighting, if they choose to retreat at this time, although Andre will achieve great success in tactics, but in terms of strategy, they will lose the overall situation, so in comparison, the victory or defeat in front of them is insignificant.

Since there were no reinforcements to help, Andrei had to let the team fight and retreat at the same time, and distance themselves from the enemy. But even so, Andrei didn't want to give up, he immediately ordered Xia Bing to bypass the enemy's troops and continue to pursue the enemy's vanguard troops, and if he was discovered, he would find an opportunity to evacuate on his own.

Although Squad 217 had as many as seven tanks, even if there was one less, it could barely hold on to firepower. However, in order to facilitate the leadership of the two sides, Andrei allocated a little less of the troops on his side at the beginning, and now that Xia Bing was sent out to carry out the mission alone, the firepower of his and Boris's side is even less by one-third, and compared with the firepower of the four tanks on the opposite side, it has become a fairly obvious firepower imbalance. This caused more enemies to avoid Natalia's firepower and grope their way towards Andrei and Boris's side.

"I can't stand it! What to do? Boris asked loudly at Andrei as he kept changing the magazine of the machine gun.

"I can't help it!" However, when it came to this, Andre was also very anxious, but he had no way to solve the situation, and there were still measures to alleviate it after all: "Pull now!" You left and I right, fast! ”

In an instant, the two tanks that had been retreating side by side immediately turned to retreat in two different directions, forcing the enemy to choose one of the two.

But even if Andrei was talking about pulling the enemy's front, he and Boris's tanks did not dare to slow down at all. Because it was at this time that the enemy's tanks had already penetrated into the woods, and although these miscellaneous tanks were not inferior to Andrey's tanks in terms of firepower, they were not inferior in terms of mobility, and even slightly higher. If it weren't for the T-34 tank suspended by Christie, who had won a lot in off-road performance, Andrey, who retreated in reverse, would have already been caught up by the enemy.

However, it is somewhat reassuring to note that the trees block Andrei's shooting surface while also blocking the enemy fairly, which makes Andrei and his ability to deal far fewer blows than the number of enemies can do. In order to increase the damage caused by hitting the target at this close distance, the ammunition used by Andrei has been converted from APBC to APHE, although the penetration depth has decreased, but even the III. tank, which is much harder than these tanks, is difficult to block the APHE shells fired by the T-34/57 at this distance.

(PS1: APBC, or hood armor-piercing bullet.) In order to reduce the kinetic energy of the armor-piercing projectile due to air resistance as much as possible during flight, and maintain the flight speed, a streamlined soft metal hood is added to the tip of the ordinary warhead. When it hits the target, the hood will shatter directly, and the main warhead will continue to penetrate the target's armor. ）

(PS2: APHE is a type of shell that contains delayed explosives inside a normal AP warhead.) Except for a small amount of kinetic energy that is reduced by the slight weight drop caused by the replacement of solid steel with some explosives, the armor-piercing performance is almost identical to that of ordinary AP shells. However, the difference is that it will explode after penetrating the target, dealing secondary damage to the target. ）

(PS3: APHE shells are not as effective as they seem to be in many cases, because the explosives located in the tail of the warhead can cause negligible damage to the target when they cannot penetrate the target.) Of course, the case of the warhead stuck on the armor of the target is another matter. In addition to this, the armor-piercing ability is too high, causing the warhead to penetrate the target directly, and under the effect of the delayed detonation device, the warhead containing the bomb does not explode on the outside of the tank until it has completely penetrated the tank, and so on, which is no different from an ordinary armor-piercing projectile. ）

Compared with German equipment, many Soviet-based equipment are equipped with shells of the APHE type, which is also to outperform others in terms of power. This is also the type of ammunition that Andre and they are more willing to use, after all, with a caliber of 57mm, only to play an AP bullet with a single iron top, the lethality is too low.

"Click! Rumble! ”

An APHE fired by Igor pierced a small tree, and the warhead exploded behind the tree, slicing off a soldier's wrist from the wrist in scattered shrapnel. Because the speed was so fast, the incision was quite neat, and the soldier did not feel pain. But just a second later, a fountain of blood poured out of the wound, and the soldier clutched the wounded left hand with his right hand, but no matter how tightly he clutched it, it was impossible to slow the outpouring of blood. In an instant, the ground beneath his feet had turned crimson.

"Ahh!!h

His screams quickly attracted his comrades, and immediately two or three people surrounded him, but in the face of such a large wound, they had no choice but to quickly wrap it in a simple bandage. The wounded soldier kept muttering about his left hand, perhaps feeling sorry for him, and one of the soldiers turned his head to look for his lost left hand.

Since it had been cut off, his left hand was not far from here, and the soldier spotted the abrupt thing at a glance, and as he crouched down excitedly and carefully picked up the severed hand......

"Click!"

A 7.62mm bullet entered his temple and flew out from the other side. A moment later, he was also a corpse with an extra hand...... (To be continued.) )
