Nine hundred and sixty-seven. Battlefield - Ukraine!

Bodila's advice was really good! Nochil's anger dissipated. Soaking in the cool and refreshing river water, no amount of unpleasantness will turn into nothingness. I didn't expect that there was such a feng shui treasure near the camp.

Nochiel swung his limbs vigorously and allowed his body to swim parallel in the water. Before the start of the war, Nochiel was a top-performing swimmer in a German army. He once dreamed of becoming a strong swimmer. And the war changed his fate.

Yes, in fact, people cannot really control their own destiny, look at Nochil, this sentence is not worth questioning.

Bodilla only had a pair of blue pants to hide his shame, and although Nochir didn't know why his pants were so strange blue, his diving position was the most hilarious of Nochier, as if someone had given him a kick in the back. The whole person has no sense of balance and the whole cover is in the water!

Rummel and Schmidt, who were waiting in the water early, waited for Bodilla, who had not yet surfaced. The two of them want to punctuate Bodila! Nochiel can see this!

Nochiel used treading stunts, keeping his body floating smoothly without sinking, waiting for the show.

However, Bodila was not a landlubber as Nochil thought, he had already swam far in the water, almost popping up next to Nochil! His scalp was numb, and he thought it was a water ghost!

It's a distance of more than 10 meters from the shore! He's a good swim! Bodila brushed his wet face with his hand. Then he shouted at Lamel and Schmidt, who were still stupidly guarding the shore: "Hey! It's always the landlubber who loses! Haha......"

Rummel and Schmidt turned their heads, their faces full of surprise! But they didn't dare to chase after them. Two men who seem to be five big and three thick can't swim! As Bodila said, they are veritable landlubbers.

On the shore, a patrol of ten Wehrmacht soldiers slowly walked out of the depths of the woods. The leader also led a huge wolfdog.

Patrol! But their swimming here really didn't get in their way! If they have to find fault! It can be said that they are unclothed and unethical! Rummel and Schmidt, the two immodest whistles, blew the rogue whistle loudly at the patrol! Treat them like girls? Nochiel and Bodila looked at each other, it seemed like a bad choice!

The temper of those patrols is like eating red peppers 24 hours a day.

The patrol soldiers didn't react, perhaps taking Lammel and Schmidt for fools, but the wolfdog they brought with them broke free from the rope and plunged into the water! The whole patrol almost jumped into the river with it!

They soaked in the river until the sun went down! It was getting dark before he reluctantly left this treasure land. After going ashore, Nochiel and Bodila found out. Their toes and fingers have been soaked in water and have lost a layer of old skin! It's been soaking for too long!

Dinner was plentiful! They can eat barbecue! It's really rare! The superiors made an exception to let their army drink, and Nochiel and Nochier's car crew naturally didn't get drunk and didn't return! As a result, Lamel and Schmidt fell unconscious, and finally Nochiel Bodila and Hans used their strength to drag them back to their sleeping place.

The night is getting deeper. Unable to sleep at all, Nochiel slipped outside alone, and after a long time, Nochiel found a cobblestone near the dormitory barracks and sat on it. Bodila had not slept when Nochir came out of the barracks. He came out with him. This Nochiel thought of it. He had always liked to talk to him about things that didn't go into the ordinary, they didn't really have a common language, and if he hadn't always taken the initiative, Nochir didn't think they would even be friends. Nochiel knew what he thought, at least he did. Maybe because he was a difficult person to get along with, they could think and define it that way, and Nochiel didn't care, because he didn't need any friends. At best, they were a comrade who fought together.

Nochiel was thinking. What will they talk about this time.

Bodila didn't come to Nochir and sit on the cobblestone, did he like to stand? He was always standing: "It's been pretty quiet lately!" Hehehe......"

Nochiel thought he was referring to daytime swimming: "Hmm. It's so much better than before! ”

Bodila didn't laugh as Nochiel thought, but suddenly became depressed. He muttered softly, and Nochiel didn't hear it very clearly...... But he was sure of what he was trying to say.

"It's a pity...... War ......"

Nochiel thought he understood, but in fact he didn't understand what he meant: "What? ”

He's turned out to be weird! Bodila smiled again: "...... Suddenly I feel a little homesick! ”

Yes, Nochiel never had time to ask, "Where is your hometown?" ”

Bodie stretched his finger and pointed to the southwest: "A beautiful little farm!" What about you? ”

Nochiel looked at him with some envy: "I'm from Nuremberg!" ”

Bodila's eyes widened at him: "What about the metropolis! ”

His look of envy made Nochir feel his turtle, but how could he understand the distress of a metropoliser!

Nochiel sighed, "I don't have the strength to convince you that you don't want to be a metropoliser!" ”

Bodila shrugged his shoulders in a gesture of what he was teaching at any time.

Nochiel suddenly asked, "Are you married?" ”

Bodila didn't speak, just rummaged through his pocket, and finally handed Nochiel a photograph. Nochiel took it and looked at it closely. A beautiful girl.

"Your wife?"

Bodila shook her head: "It's my fiancée!" ”

Nochiel raised the corners of his mouth slightly! It is wise not to get married: "She's so beautiful!" ”

Bodilla's face showed a smug look! He said with a very face-saving face: "What about you?" ”

His switch from defense to offense did not make Nochiel feel any discomfort, which can be regarded as a mutual visit to the family: "Marriage is just a form for me, and women are just the spice of life for me!" ”

Bodilla's expression was complicated........

Nochiel lay on his back, looking at the night sky. Thoughts are flying. He just stared at the stars like that, for a long time......

Peace for military personnel...... It's just wasting time......

......

In the early morning, the morning sun has not yet revealed its light and shadow from the distant horizon. The camp of the 1st Assault Army was filled with smoke and dust.

A large number of infantry and tanks are massing, the goal, the East! Tanatachsk region.

The morale of the German army was high and full of blood! Even Nochiel, who was depressed because he didn't get the new armored fighting vehicle, was full of fighting spirit at this time! They will crush their enemies once and for all!

Two advance battalions of the vanguard are dispatched! They will find out all the areas directly in front of the German army until they touch the main force of the Russian army and the real line of defense!

And the main forces of the German army! It gathers in a small wooden room, a temporary conference room.

The room was not very large, and the commander of the armored battalion, Major McCall, was standing in the middle of the room. In front of him was a square wooden table with an accurate map of the area, and he was deploying for battle! Almost every tank commander was present. Of course, the obnoxious Klaus! No matter what others think, Nochiel is full of prejudices against him anyway! He's a sturdy bastard!

Major McCall spoke: "The task of our armored battalion is to occupy position 133!" Break through the fortifications built by the Russians from the front! Open a gap in the line of defense for the follow-up troops! ”

That's right, the idea of the German blitzkrieg from the Second World War was exactly that. Armored combat vehicles with fast maneuvering and strong penetration capabilities. Concentrate on tearing through the enemy's line! And those infantry, they can all clean up the mess!

Nochiel glanced around at the people around him, all of whom were unfamiliar faces. Only Klaus! Klaus glanced at Nochiel contemptuously, then raised his left arm. Major McCall motioned for him to speak.

Klaus straightened up: "I only hope that when my tank platoon advances, the brethren of the support platoon can protect our flanks and rear!" It's not a good feeling to be copied back by the Russians! ”

Major McCall nodded, clearly agreeing with Klaus's suggestion, and these. Needless to say, it's also their support platoon's job.

Major McCall is also working on more detailed operational deployments. The meeting ended quickly! Because there's news ahead. The battle began......

The armored battalion will pour out! This time, instead of the sporadic units of the Russians who fought pettily, the Germans were going to face the main force of the defenders of the real Russian army in the Tanatachsk region!

After the meeting ended, Nochiel went straight to Nochier's 098. Klaus staggered past Nochier: "Brother of the support department, please take care of my ass...... Why do I suddenly feel so happy......"

Nochiel scolded in his heart: "Bastard! ”

Nochiel ignored him, and if he had seen as much as he did, his rare emotional upsurge would have turned into nothingness.

Bodila and Lamel were already guarding the tank. If the battle is about to start and they leave their posts without permission, they will be convicted of being shot!

Far away, Nochir could feel the genuine desire to fight from them. The Germans entered the belly of "098" as fast as possible! Do your job! Nochiel will be the eyes, ears and nose of this Destroyer 3 type vehicle!

Bodila is still a correspondent! Schmidt and Hans were gunners and loaders. Lamel is in charge of 098's direction and stability.

The body began to shake in place, and then slowly moved forward, the tracks rubbing against the steel skin above it, making a harsh grinding sound. The German No. 3 has successfully started and will now join the front battlefield with the roar of artillery......

At the front of the Germans was the main assault force of the Panzer Battalion - six of the latest Blaster tanks and two of the Leopard IX.

One of the "Leopard IX" type commanders was Lieutenant Klaus of the Panzer Corps, and from dozens of meters away, Nochir could see his duck egg-shaped head! It's funny! But his car was so mighty! The huge body and strange appearance made Nochiel's heart itch. Nochiel gripped the edge of the turret's top until he felt pain on his fingers. Nochiel saw that his "Leopard IX" barely had to go around the trench, and there was no need to deliberately change direction and course in the face of thick trees, and the huge "Leopard IX" was more like a bulldozer, and those trees with thick trunks were overturned and even uprooted one by one under the impact of its steel body. Behind the German flank. It was several combat vehicles of their colleagues, they all belonged to the armored support platoon, and the tasks of the Germans were clear. Follow those "Exploders" and "Leopard IX."! Cover their flanks and rear at all times!

Nochir vaguely felt the sound of cannon fire approaching, and from time to time there was a series of machine-gun fire. The battle is raging! And the Germans have not yet arrived on the battlefield!

What a spectacular scene! The number of armored combat vehicles is lined up and goes hand in hand! On the flanks of the "Burster" and "Leopard IX" were a vast array of Wehrmacht soldiers, sometimes prostrate and sometimes standing, sometimes half-crouching and sometimes advancing. The armored battalions of the Germans have caught up with the pace of the infantry units!

Nochiel held up the binoculars, magnified battlefield. Russian! Many, many Russians! Almost everywhere.

Those "Bursters" and "Leopard IX" stopped moving on. Then came a compact salvo! A few hundred meters away, the earth pillars exploded everywhere, and along with the gravel and clods of earth fell to the ground, the stumps and severed arms of the Russians in khaki military uniforms!

The juxtaposition of the "Blaster" and "Leopard IX" and the rooftop machine guns are firing fiercely! The arrival of the armored battalion made the situation at the front clear!

With reinforcements from powerful tank units! The Russians suffered heavy losses!

Nochier's "098" is useless at all! His heart is very aggrieved! He was tempted to give the order to speed up. Enter the war zone! Slaughter the Russians, but Nochiel knows exactly what his mission is.

Here it comes! Through the binoculars, Nochiel saw that the Russians had sent at least one combat company. One by one, hundreds of black figures disappeared into the trees. They intended to outflank from the woods on the left flank, and their goal was the armored vanguard units! The Russians are not stupid! They know it! At this time, the biggest threat to them is these tanks that cost lives! And not those grenadiers who are attacking one step at a time! If it weren't for the tanks knocking out the machine-gun positions of those Russians one by one! These grenadiers would have fallen in pieces in the face of the Russian frenzied fire.

The woods give them excellent cover!

They want to outflank! It's their turn to show off their "098" crew! The turret rotates, and Nochiel prepares to fire a high-explosive grenade in the direction of the woods, but he doesn't want to see many grenadiers in sight!

Stupid! Those grenadiers took the initiative to engage the enemy? They poured into the woods and engaged in fierce fire with the outflanking troops of the Russians in the woods! Nochiel could not give the order to shoot! That will have a high chance of injuring your own people by mistake! He was trembling with rage!

Nochiel watched almost as the turret of the Blaster tank directly in front of him was swept away by a huge wave of air! The "Blaster" took a shot, presumably with detonated ammunition in the car. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been blown up to that miserable appearance.

The Russians hit and completely destroyed the "Burster"! As the turret was lifted off, the slender barrel of the Blaster was gone. The tattered body of the car was in flames, and there was never a burning man. The poor panzers were estimated to have been charred by this time.

The loss of one main tank did not slow down the pace and speed of the German offensive! The grenadiers half-crouched behind mounds and potholes large enough to shield the bullets, and fired non-stop with their small arms.

When they see the right moment, they will rush forward. By all means, they sometimes dodged behind the side of the tank, and almost every time they attacked, they had to fall scattered and incalculable numbers. The blocking fire of the Russian army is more dense than expected!

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the battle line was lengthened! The assault force of the Russian frontal line was no longer enough to cover such a narrow front, and Nochiel wondered if the Russians were defending more than the Germans were attacking.

Nochiel ordered the tank to move forward, and the only vehicles that were still in Nochil's field of vision were the two Exploders and Klaus's Leopard IX.

The Germans in the direction of the woods began to retreat! Really! The Russians were far more powerful in that area than the Germans. When they entered, it was a few dozen people, and only a dozen people withdrew alive, and the Russians took advantage of the victory to pursue, and all kinds of firearms were pursued and fired. The remaining dozen or so grenadiers also fell one after another!

The timely arrival of Nochil's "098" only saved the lives of a few people! The firepower of the Russians was unimaginable, and bullets of various calibers were scattered in all directions! Nochiel had no guts to poke out his body or his whole head outside the turret roof cabin.

The Russians, on the contrary, took the initiative on the entire battlefield!

Nochiel finally understood a little bit about the tactics of the Russians. They're fighting a defensive counterattack!

Nochiel bent down, half of his body poking into the cabin. All four of them looked at Nochir and did not speak, but the meaning of what they wanted to say was self-evident. What's next?

The Germans have already begun a limited retreat from the entire front! After continuing to attack for nearly an hour, he was unable to launch an offensive!

And Nochiel also clarified his "098" mission.

The Russians will not be stupid enough to allow the Germans, who have already retreated, to retreat smoothly without a single dead or wounded! Their commander must have given the order to pursue by this time! Nochir saw several Russian soldiers at the head of the Russian unit that had infiltrated from the direction of the woods gradually appeared.

Their "098" continued to move forward, and the crew of Nochiel decided that it was an extremely unwise decision! Nochir understood their scruples, and looked at the shattered wreckage of the chariots around them. The Russians have powerful anti-tank fire!

Although Nochil has so far not found any signs of the Russians having tanks in the battle. It's just the huge number of infantry that is chasing from the front. Disguise! Nice camouflage!

Rummel slowed down the "098". (To be continued......)
