457: The tank is out of gas
On the Russian battlefield, although the war has been winning, the losses of the Russian army are getting bigger and bigger, and the Russians are losing more and more territory, and on the surface, the Chinese Empire is getting closer and closer to victory, but in the dark, they are still so far from the final victory, and every time they are about to win, there will always be some new changes, which makes people secretly hate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The time has come to December 1908, at this time, the Russian land, once again restored the climate when the war began, everywhere ice and snow, cold air, wantonly invaded every soldier who stayed here, whether it was Russians or Chinese, no one could avoid this damn weather, but the war is not over, the war is still going on, they have to continue to stay here, continue to fight against the cold and the enemy.
So far, the Russian army has lost nearly one million troops in the eight months since the beginning of the war, and hundreds of thousands of civilians have lost their homes.
Although life is not free, and you have to do a lot of work every day, as long as you don't have any bad intentions, basically you will not face any danger, they will not let you starve to death, nor will they beat you and scold you for no reason, and even made everything clear at the beginning, as long as they can work with peace of mind for two years, the Chinese Empire will restore their free status, and they can also receive a compensation fee at that time.
But no one took this as true, because no one would believe that the enemy would give them money and think about it.
A No. 2 tank suddenly stopped there, and then the tank driver and two men emerged from the turret, swearing and seemingly unhappy with the situation.
The No. 2 tank has been finalized and produced, and the problems tested on the battlefield in the early stage have also been improved, but because of the conditions, the 30 tanks in the early stage were not pulled back to Luoyang for transformation, but were used for a period of time temporarily.
Although there are many dissatisfactions, but in terms of overall performance, the No. 2 tank is still better than the Boar tank, oh, by the way, including his name, because of the tank's almost crazy performance on the battlefield, and Wang Sirui delegated the naming power of the tank to the subordinate departments.
After experiencing the madness of Tank 2, these armored soldiers who first tried its power came up with an extremely attractive name, Butcher.
Later, Li Qingping transmitted the reactions of these soldiers on the battlefield back to the scientific research institute, so the butcher was officially defined as the name of the No. 2 tank.
"Damn, why can't the fuel truck come over? We only have a barrel of oil left, and if they don't come, we'll have to break down passively. Zhu Kuan jumped out of the tank a little irrationally, felt the cold wind outside the car, and couldn't help but scold, "What the hell is ******this weather?" ”
It was not allowed to carry excess gasoline inside the tank, but because of the recent problems in the army, each tank was allowed to carry some gasoline for emergency backup.
Theoretically, the use of diesel fuel for tanks is the best choice, but considering the environmental factors of the Russian winter, the gasoline engine was finally chosen, anyway, the displacement is large enough, and the impact will not be particularly obvious.
"Anyway, it's not the first time, after filling this tank of oil, I think it's better to find a stable place to hide, it's better than breaking down halfway." Ansan joked with a smile.
Because Russia has entered winter, although the troops are very well prepared, and all kinds of warm measures such as cotton coats have been sent in advance and delivered to the troops in time, but for mechanized troops, this kind of preparation is very inadequate.
The tank itself has two huge tracks, so the external environmental factors have no effect on the tank, but the truck transporting fuel is different, because it is a rubber tire, so in this icy and snowy situation, they always need to drive slowly, carefully, and if you are not careful, the vehicle may lose control.
And for the sake of safety, it would have taken a day to travel, but now it takes three days, or even longer, to arrive, and the most immediate effect is that the armored forces have lost more than one fighter plane. Even some troops, because they did not have enough fuel, were forced to retreat, abandon the occupied areas, or use their tanks as stationary batteries.
And the consequence of this is that since the beginning of winter, about 40 tanks have been destroyed by the Russian army, and I don't even dare to imagine that if this situation continues, how many of their tanks will be left after this winter?
Chen Zhichao was not cleared out of the crew, although the poor performance when he first went to the battlefield gave Zhu Kuan the idea of driving him away, but in the end reason still told Zhu Kuan that driving Chen Zhichao away was not a very good decision, and Chen Zhichao's professional technology was exactly what their team needed.
"There was a problem with the baggage team, one fuel truck crashed into another fuel truck because it lost control, the car accident blocked the road, the baggage team is clearing the road, and the fuel is expected to be delivered in a day." As soon as Zhu Kuan finished complaining, Chen Zhichao came out of the commander's command tower and reported.
"I see!" Zhu Kuan replied with a displeased face, ****** crashed again, how many times has this been?" Wouldn't this kind of weather make it easier to drive? Are all those drivers pigs? Of course, Zhu Kuan could only secretly scold in his heart, publicly insulting the baggage team, but he still didn't dare.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Kuan took the oil drum in Ansan's hand and instructed Ansan: "Go and ask the few tanks behind how much oil they have." ”
A barrel of oil is only more than 30 liters, put on the tank, at most it can travel at a constant speed of about 20 kilometers, well, the fuel consumption of the butcher tank is 150 liters and 100 kilometers, and there is no fuel gauge in the tank, so the driver can only refuel the tank by feeling, if you forget, then you can only see the supply directly filled, or wait until the tank is automatically extinguished.
Zhu Kuan has been promoted to platoon commander, just two months ago, in the Battle of Novosibirsk, Zhu Kuan led three tanks to break through the enemy's defense line in one sentence, and successfully went around the rear, and carried out a fierce blow to the Russian army, and then the troops in front took advantage of the chaos of the Russian army to break through the defense line in one fell swoop, resulting in the Russian army's painstaking preparation of the defensive line, only a day of hurried defense and then declared lost.
After that war, Zhu Kuan was officially appointed as a platoon commander, with four butcher tanks under his command, including his own, a total of five.
And this time, the task of Zhu Kuan's platoon was to lead a battalion of infantry to go around behind the Russian army, defeat it, and prevent the Russian army from retreating.
Such a seemingly contradictory order, in fact, is not contradictory at all, the order to defeat takes precedence over the order to stop, if they have the ability, and their own casualties will not be too large, then stop the enemy from retreating, if they are not sure, then just drive them away, and then wait for follow-up reinforcements.
But now it seems that this mission will be postponed for at least one day, and at that time, it is impossible to say what the situation will be in the Russian army.
Although the decisive battle of Novosibirsk has been basically completed, and the final result ended in the defeat of the Russian army, due to environmental factors, the victory of the Chinese Empire in this battle is not very obvious, and the advantage is especially not as obvious as the decisive battle of Borja a few months ago.
In the decisive battle of Borja, they almost swallowed up more than 100,000 troops of the Russian army in one go, and although the number of Russian troops in Novosibirsk increased a lot, the Chinese Empire also increased a lot of troops correspondingly, at that time, the troops of the northern front of the First Army were transferred over, and the Second Army rushed over in time, and the Chinese Empire alone had about 500,000 troops that could be directly put into battle.
The Russians gathered 600,000 troops, although they were all temporary patchwork troops, but the Russian army that fled in this battle had at least 400,000, which was still very helpless, the Russian battle line was lost too fast, and the large troops behind had not caught up, but they were met by the oncoming armored troops, and then the Russian army began to flee, and the Royal Army began to pursue instead, in order not to lose his mind, after pursuing nearly 100 kilometers, Cao Kun could only give an order to stop the pursuit.
So there is the current scene, there are still many surprise troops composed of small units like Zhu Kuan, scouts often reconnoiter the enemy situation in various areas in front of them in advance, and then the command headquarters is arranging tasks, and multiple small units of troops attack at the same time, making it difficult for the Russian army to take care of the beginning and the end, and wear out their vitality little by little.
"The situation is similar to ours, the tank is estimated to be running out of gas, and there is only one barrel of oil left in the car." A few minutes later, Ansan walked back unhurriedly, and at this time he could already see that the tank behind him had also stopped, and then added fuel to the tank.
"Report to the command, just say that we are out of fuel, there is no way to continue to advance, and we plan to find a stable place to wait for supplies." Zhu Kuan said to Chen Zhichao.
Chen Zhichao nodded, and then got back into the car, Chen Zhichao's cleanliness habit has not been changed, although there is no such condition now, but Chen Zhichao still thinks of a way to do hygiene, even with the health of the entire tank has not been let go, and in the tank, Chen Zhichao has achieved the ultimate in hygiene, he himself wears a pair of white knitted gloves on his hands, which are basically black, and there is a scarf around his neck, if it is not for blocking the view, it is estimated that this guy will even cover his face.
Of course, this guy didn't give up, but ran to the infantry to ask for a knitted hood, which was the kind that only showed his mouth and eyes, giving people a very alternative feeling.
