Chapter 211: Monsters
into combat mode.
And today, Team 217 was assigned the task of clearing one of the enemy's strongholds. This stronghold has three levels of defense belts, namely the outpost, the armored force defense belt, and the artillery position defense belt, and if you subdivide it, there are two different areas: the trough and the high slope. Although there are few enemy troops in the troughs, the ring of defense that the enemy has already set up will cause a lot of damage to Trode.
Trode pointed to a rough version of the battle map on the ground, explaining the distribution of enemies to the crowd while listening to their opinions. For this mission, Trood had very little information to gain and nothing other than a general overview of the enemy and a sketchy battle map. However, this cannot condemn the irresponsibility of the scouts, and now it is a period of great retreat of the British army and a great advance of the German army, and many positions of the two armies can be said to be the same day or another, and some even change places with one shot, and it is too difficult to describe each position clearly and accurately in real time.
"What I'm thinking about is to take out this outpost in one go." Trood circled a spot on the map with a black pen, and drew an arrow to his place around him. He continued: "It's still too difficult to take this battle by surprise, although if you directly attack the trough, if you break through in one go, it will become quite easy later, but I don't dare to fight like this." ”
"I agree with Trode's plan, too." Hans nodded and said: "If the intelligence is correct, then there is only one 'Crusader' cruiser tank and two 'Crusader' self-propelled multi-purpose guns Type II in this outpost, and this little force can't stop us at all, and with our speed, it is unlikely that the enemy wants to support." As for the next step, it would be good to act at the right time. ”
"So be it." Vincent also smiled in affirmation of Trode's plan. Trode looked back at the two of them, and before he knew it, he felt as if he had returned to the time when the three of them had discussed tactics again, but after rubbing his eyes, he still smiled and shook his head, now they were a lineup of 8 commanders. But it was far more powerful than it was then.
Trood quickly put away the map, and then all the commanders immediately ran back to their vehicles, and the team was launched, and the lineup of 8 vehicles was quite imposing, and the smoke and dust generated by the advance flew straight into the sky. Trood poked his head out of the observation hole and looked around at the new appearance of his squad, 5 Type IV G/H medium tanks, 2 Type IV tank destroyers, and one
"VI.!"
This is the name that Hans shouted when he first saw it. Although Hans screams every time he sees new equipment, this time will certainly be no exception. However, when Brunhilde drove this "monster" with her crew, not only Hans, but even the well-informed Vincent and Roy were looked at stupidly, and their evaluation of this vehicle could only be summed up by two words: monster
The so-called VI. was a new large model of German tanks. The full name is Panzerkampfwagen-Tiger-Ausführung-E (Sd.Kfz.181), due to the slow progress of the development of the V. tank. Although it was planned a little later, the VI was developed before the V. and successfully began mass production, but now the German army can be equipped with very few units of this monster. Brunhild's VI. tank, the first to be introduced by the 47th Division, consisted of only three in total. Generally speaking, even if she is the top student in the training camp, she can't be assigned something as valuable. However, in fact, Hilde's tank did not originate from the distribution at all, but counted as the one she brought from the training camp!
It turns out that. In the final days of the training camp, Hilde had the good fortune to come into contact with the experimental version of the VI. tank, and her crew had done a good job of testing the mission, and she was already a bit famous, and several higher-ranking commanders decided to equip her with this latest when she went to battle. The strongest "monster".
Although the VI. would have been the Type E Heavy Tank if it had been strictly known as the Tank, almost everyone preferred to call it the Tiger Heavy Tank, as the Trod did, of course.
Another very important point is that since Hilde drove this tank out, no matter which vehicle group it is, they all want to try it, and if it weren't for Trood to stop it, it is estimated that it will eventually lead to a robbery incident. Nattle was one of the most fanatical of the gang, not to mention how attractive the 88mm KwK36L/56 tank gun was, but he heard that the tank was also equipped with a TFZ-9b sight produced by Carl-Zeiss-Jena (a world-famous German manufacturer of optical system equipment), which was an extremely accurate sight that allowed the gunner to do more with less, so it was fatal to every gunner.
Returning to the battlefield, the 8 tanks of the 217 squad are rapidly advancing towards the outpost located on the high slope, although the overall speed of the team has decreased after the "Tiger" heavy tank has joined the team, but this outpost battle, which can almost be regarded as a warm-up battle, does not need to move out of their "monsters", only Trod and their IV. can be solved.
A few minutes later, five Type IV G/H medium tanks appeared in the field of view of the soldiers at the British outpost, and they immediately began to block them with all the fire they had in their positions. The Crusader self-propelled multi-purpose gun is an artillery system based on the chassis of the Crusader cruiser tank, equipped with two 20mm Ollie guns side by side on a turret, which has a strong lethality against a wide range of attacking light armored units and infantry formations, and has the disadvantage of not being able to move to fire. But now it can be said that there is no threat to the current IV. tank, and the remaining 2-pounder gun of the 'Crusader' cruiser tank has also begun to attack almost in vain, although it is stronger than the 20mm Oligan, but at a long distance they are no threat to Trood, and after a while, Trod and they climbed to the slope, and in front of them is the outpost of the British army (to be continued). )
