Chapter 623: The Beginning of the Encounter (I)
"I haven't personally commanded a tank battle since then, which means it was my first tank battle that could have been and probably last." Anton said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone, it seems that she really doesn't have any advance budget for joining the armored forces, which is mostly due to reasons between her and Andrei, at least that's what Andrei himself thinks.
"What...... Andre looked at Anton's appearance and said with a smile: "Then how do you feel about suddenly switching to me?" used to be the captain of a team, but now he has become the vice captain of a team, and the gap is not half a star! The premise of saying this sentence is that Andrei doesn't think that Anton fell into his squad because of his demotion, which must be caused by his use of some connections to operate in the dark, and what it is, that is, it is not known to Nadilie.
For Andrei's slightly sarcastic tone, Anton didn't have any disgust, but replied with a smile: "Naturally, there are many feelings, and the good and bad can almost be divided in half." To be honest, at first I thought it would be a little better than the last time I stayed there, after all, the combat capability is much stronger, and the management of a single class is more convenient. But from the facts, this is indeed what I thought was too simple, not to mention that the idea of tank warfare is far from the tactical idea of the infantry, that is, the problem within the squad, it is also to the point that it is everywhere. ”
Andre listened to Anton talk for a long time and then went around the problem, naturally he was quite unhappy, the smile on his face disappeared, and it was replaced by anger, after all, he had already argued with Anton more than once about this problem, although the problem certainly existed, but it was not as Anton thought, saying that it could be solved. So the repeated repetition of this question is no longer about the problem itself, but about Andrei himself.
However, looking at Andrei's appearance, Anton immediately stopped and said, "I have a task today, so I won't quarrel with you." "This is completely a problem of Andre's character, although the situation has been alleviated, but for Andre, it is an even worse situation, this matter, he will definitely find a chance to retaliate back.
Andrei said to Anton in a rhetorical tone: "You are justified in what you say!?" I love chatting with you! ”
And Anton was also noncommittal, and said bluntly to Andre: "This can't be helped, after all, the gambling contract is not over yet, I can't show my flaws!" ”
"Cut!" Andre smiled and pointed at Anton, and said, "If I really want to fix you, do you think you can stay in this team for more than half a month?" Then he looked at Anton with a provocative look, which meant nothing more than saying, "With your little example, it's not enough to play with me!" ”
"Don't look at me like that, you know, there are a lot of things I won't tell you yet, so you and I don't know the real situation, but I think it's good to keep it like this for the time being, really." Anton spread his hands and said, "And I also know that you are not satisfied with your current state at all. ”
"Humph! Then you still talk about a fart......" Andrei was very dissatisfied, turned around and was about to leave, but Anton didn't keep him, just said to his back: "I have a bad premonition!" Although my hunch is usually not accurate! ”
Andrei ignored him completely, but after a few days, Andrei regretted it......
It was one day four days later, and Andrei and the others were moving as usual. This journey is very good, although it is somewhat boring, but it will not feel tired, because Anton has been rectifying the formation and discipline, so the team has not had any accidents, the road is calm and stable. But just when Andre and the others thought that this day would pass like this, they suddenly remembered the sound of cannons in front of them, which startled them.
Although the soldiers belonging to the Central Army are all battle-hardened soldiers, they can't help but be a little panicked when they hear the sound of artillery under such circumstances. However, soon, someone in front found out the situation, it turned out that they were fighting with a suspected German unit, and the two sides started an encounter, and the battle was very fierce.
"What? Germans? How could there be German troops here? Andrei was a little puzzled, he was just lucky to run into a German squad on the front line, but now he was completely in the rear, how could he suddenly engage the German army, which made him very puzzled. And according to what he just learned this morning, this place is not far from Kyiv, and there should be far more troops than the front line, how could the Germans break in and engage them like this?
Of course, this is all something that Andrei, a junior officer, does not understand...... No, even if it wasn't Andrei, in fact, this was a situation that the vast majority of Soviet troops did not understand - after the German army used the combined army to drag down the Soviet army, it decided to directly send troops into the Soviet mainland, go around to their rear, and fight a flanking attack with the combined army, and directly eat the main force of the Soviet army on the front line in one go. Even if they can't be wiped out in one go, they can definitely trap them here. However, the luck of the Soviet army was really good, and at the time of this tactical preparation of the German army, the foreign support units of the Soviet Army Group Center on the southern front were already preparing to withdraw. In this way, the two groups of troops arrived near Kiev at the same time, which made the German plan fall through, and a fierce battle would follow......
And the battle on Andrei's side was one of the first times that the Soviet army encountered the Germans in this area. To be honest, in fact, both sides were not prepared for battle, and the German army advanced at a high speed all the way, and they didn't expect to fight here at all, so the team was still very scattered, and they couldn't gather too many troops for a while; The situation on the side of the Soviet army was even worse, they retreated without any worries all the way, they did not even have the most basic combat preparations, and many troops could not immediately enter the battle, compared with the German army, although there were more troops available, but the combat effectiveness was obviously insufficient.
And at this critical moment, the commander of the tank regiment to which Andrei belonged, that is, Sergei, whom he and Natalia had been scolding behind his back. It was decided to go forward at this time, even if it could not win against the Germans, at least to buy time for the other troops to prepare for battle. And it was because of this sudden order that Andrei and the others had to join the battle immediately...... (To be continued.) )
