Chapter 1208: Drinking Water
"Cut! Is that really the case? I really don't dare to fight......"
Looking at the British army in front of him rolling up the blanket and slipping away, Andrei said a sarcastic word on his side, although his side has the advantage of troops, but even Andrei, if he can drive the enemy out of the situation without force, he is still very happy to do so.
However, although the British army's choice to retreat in the face of difficulties was a good ending for both sides, but before they could hide farther, Andre and his team still had no way to hide in the woods without anyone knowing, and this required Trode and them to advance further, so that the British completely gave up the idea of counterattacking.
And judging from the later results, I don't know if Trode's deterrent power is too great, or if this group of British troops has lost their fighting spirit - as long as Trode and they take a step forward, the British side will have to take ten steps back to counteract.
In this way, under the theme of "a good man does not suffer immediate losses", Trod and his team successfully scared the enemy away, and Andrei and his team also found a suitable gap and went directly into a dense forest more than two kilometers away from the bridgehead.
As for Trode, in order to prevent the frightened British from quickly discovering this matter, he deliberately left two lookout points under the noses of the British. And its role is more of a deterrent to the British army than a real reconnaissance.
In addition, after returning to the bridgehead, Trod also moved the tank units back and hid behind the infantry formation, so as not to let the enemy find that there was already half a force missing here.
And now, on the other side, in the midst of a lush forest. Although it is sheltered by trees, it is much more comfortable than being exposed to the sun. But because the temperature is too high, it is close to forty degrees, so that Andre and the others who are hiding in this forest can't really rest.
"Xia Bing, hand me the kettle, this meeting almost didn't heat me to death!"
Andre sat on the ground and gave orders to Xia Bing on the side, who glanced at him, and then slammed the kettle behind him Andrei's feet.
"Poof!"
Although Andre wears thick shoes on his feet, and this guy exercises regularly, his feet are also quite impact-resistant. But the kettle is still an iron guy after all, even if Xia Bing doesn't really use much strength, but Andre gritted his teeth in pain.
"You're going to rebel!"
Andre glared back at Xia Bing, but the latter was completely unimpressed, and looked in the other direction lightly.
Seeing this result, Andre also knew that he couldn't be angry with a person like Xia Bing, who didn't eat grains, but even if he did this, he couldn't get over his face, so he had to find a slope by himself and said: "On this hot day, I don't bother to be angry with you, which makes my mouth dry." ”
Although this is a shoddy excuse that Andrei has come up with, it is also a fact, because it was just a short period of time in the process of 'scareping' the British. Even though Andrei was outside the tank with his upper body in it, he felt like he was about to die of heat. Especially when he had just climbed into the tank, he even felt his hands scorched by the hot steel plates.
And André is naturally not the only one who encountered this situation, whether it is the armored soldiers of that car group, they are not having a good time. And Andre, like Andre, also paid a little attention to the impact, and only opened the military uniform on the upper body, revealing the chest. And a temperamental person like Boris has already taken off a half-naked.
"The water of the Rhine doesn't smell strange......
After pouring a few mouthfuls of water, Andre shook the kettle in his hand and commented with a smile. And the water in the kettle in his hand is, as he says, the water in the Rhine.
Originally, for today's battle, Trode and Andrei still brought some drinking water. But the scorching heat of the weather was still beyond their expectations, in such weather, the loss of water from the body will become very fast, if you can't replenish water quickly, let alone fight, even your life may be threatened.
However, thanks to the blessing of this battle by the river, when they were digging the fortifications, they ordered people to boil the river water early to store drinking water. After all, if they don't eat, they warriors may be able to carry it for two or three days, but if they don't replenish water in time in this weather, they will be enough to choke for a day!
And when Andrei and his team were temporarily preparing to enter the woods to reserve troops, the drinking water they carried became a problem again. To this end, both Trode and the German infantry sent some containers to Andrei, so that they could drink water even in the woods far from the river.
However, most of these containers of water are made of metal, and under the intense direct sunlight just now, both the containers themselves and the water contained in them have become quite hot. And room temperature water that can directly quench thirst like Andre is only a little bit that some team members carry with them.
By the way, I almost forgot to mention that even now, the kettle in Andre's hand is actually Xia Bing's, not his own......
And Andre, who drank the water, looked around, and his brainchild, Anton, had been left behind by Trode, so now he could only scout the terrain by himself, and then work out some tactics according to local conditions.
"Gone."
Andre stood up, and then threw the kettle back to Xia Bing with his backhand, who also grabbed it lightly, and then silently followed Andre with that inaudible footstep without saying a word.
However, it took less than five minutes for Andrei to give up on the idea of continuing the investigation. It's not that this forest is too small for Andre to enjoy, but that the density of this forest is too great-
Within minutes of Andre's walk towards the other end of the woods, he noticed that the density of the trees began to grow rapidly, large enough that an armored unit of his kind could not fight in it. Although he also had to admit that many people in the squad still had a lot of ability to fight as infantry. But after all, that is a behind-the-scenes plan, since they are armored troops, then they must use tanks to fight superiorly.
It's just that the example in front of him may not be able to satisfy him......
