For the troops on the front line, eating is an activity that must be carried out quickly, and after discussing the details of the night's operations on the table, Wren took Alice out of the position where there would be a lot of fighting on the night. The two of them walked along the road through a city and saw tanks parked there, as well as armored vehicles and a large number of infantry at the intersection of the streets.

"Everyone thinks that we have relaxed our attack on Moscow, but in fact, only the enemy's generals can appreciate our attack here, just at a different pace. Wren looked at the German soldiers who were ready to go, and said to Alice beside him.

At the beginning of the war, most of the soldiers of the German Wehrmacht were still wearing gray-green 1927 army uniforms, and now both the SS and the Wehrmacht, most of the front-line soldiers have changed into 1938 field camouflage uniforms.

The M35 steel helmet has also undergone many improvements, although most armies still use this steel helmet, but the special forces and some paratroopers have begun to use the improved M39 steel helmet. At the same time, the tactical vest, which is a favorite equipment of German soldiers, has the function of quick disassembly, which improves the widely criticized problem of affecting rescue after being shot.

If Accardo were to evaluate the German army, which was constantly improving, he would say that this army is becoming more and more like a modern army - except for the information electronic equipment that cannot equip the troops, this army has used far more than the armies of other countries.

The German army is popularizing assault rifles at the grassroots level of its own army, and the MP-44 assault rifle has been redesigned and improved, and after optimizing various performance indicators, it has been renamed the MP-45 and installed in large numbers for the German army, in order to eliminate the Mauser 98K and G43 semi-automatic rifles. Obsolete weapons and equipment will be sent to the client nation or other friendly forces to continue service until they are all replaced.

What is even more terrifying is that the improved version of the King Tiger 105 mm caliber gun will be used as the main battle tank of the German army's new generation, and the only tank will be standardized for production, and Germany will no longer produce various backward and outdated models, and the future armored forces of the Third Reich will be uniformly equipped with the powerful King Tiger and eliminate the two tanks of Leopard and Tiger.

It has to be said that war is the catalyst for the development of science and technology, from the outbreak of the war in 1937 to today's day in August 1939, in just two years, the German army has completed the upgrading of all its weapons from bullets to aircraft carriers - no one can know how much hard work and sweat of scientific researchers will be paid in this process.

"Long live the Führer!" a patrol with rifles on their backs saw Wren and Alice, and quickly stopped their steps, and one of the squad leaders raised his arm and gave a German salute to the two men: "Good afternoon, sir!"

"Good afternoon!" Wren casually returned a military salute, signaling that the other party was done, and then walked over to the field car parked on the side of the road, and helped Alice open the door. Originally, Alice was his driver, but given the relationship between the two people, it has almost become a habit for Wren to help Alice open the door - it is estimated that he is also the only lieutenant colonel officer in the whole German army to open the door for his secretary.

"Where are you going?" Alice asked, turning her head to Wren in the passenger seat after starting the car and feeling the engine tremble. Although she has lived in the rear for several months, she still misses the time when the engine roared in the King Tiger tank, and the days when she fought side by side with her comrades.

"Go to the 502nd battalion and have a look, I heard that we can go around half the city and get to their station. Wren seemed to see Alice's thoughts, pointed ahead and said: "Maybe seeing Marcus can make you happier, after all, we are officers now, and this mission is special, so it is not an unauthorized departure." ”

Alice nodded, smiling as the car slowed down. Because of the regulations of the front line, in order to avoid enemy attacks, field vehicles must not be marked with officer symbols, and must be painted with camouflage and painted with unit numbers in inconspicuous places. The car was clearly requisitioned from the front-line troops, so it also looked shabby.

There was a spare tire fixed to the bonnet, and the doors of the car were a little wobbly because they had been used so many times. All the seats have been worn away from the sponge and leather wrapping, and only the sturdiest planks remain, and every bump in the bump will make people's butts feel the sour feeling of being abused.

It so happened that the streets and alleys of Moscow were no different from those undulating mountains in the wilderness, so Wren and Alice drove on the bumpy road with frowns, and were forced to stop from time to time to make way for the passing infantry and armor.

"Stop, stop!" As they passed another intersection, their car was stopped by a roadstop. More than a dozen German soldiers with weapons on their backs waved a sign nailed to the bed slats and demanded that Wren's car pull over.

Alice had no choice but to stop the car on the side of the road, and the person on the other side walked to the side of the car, and after glancing at the people in the car, he was obviously stunned.

A little boy who doesn't look like he's 20 years old? A female driver who drives a car? A boy under the age of 20 is a lieutenant colonel officer? A female driver who drives a car is still a captain? What are you kidding? This is the enemy pretending to be a German officer, and you have to find a few people who look like you to dress up, right? What the hell is this pretending to be a deceit?

"I'm sorry, sir, and further south is the Italian defense, so I must check your papers and ask you what you are going there for. "The officer at the head is a platoon commander, and this is the edge of Army Group F's defense area, so there are tanks parked on the side of the road, and self-propelled guns and shell shells on the corner.

"Please show your ID, thank you for your cooperation. He stretched out his left hand, his right hand still firmly pressed against the assault rifle he was carrying on his chest, but his eyes were fixed on Alice, who had a beautiful face, and squeezed out an ugly smile.

Wren took out his military ID and handed it to the other party. It would be strange if there were not yet one or two checkpoints on such a frontline. Both sides must prevent the opponent from infiltrating and sneaking up or making up and escaping, and the more there are still joints at the edge of the defense zone, the more cautious and strict the investigation must be.

"Lieutenant Colonel Wren, does the name sound so familiar? SS 0 Division or Special Forces?" the platoon commander nodded, turning back to signal that his men could be released. As he waved his hand, a cannonball landed on the roof of a nearby house, and the explosion caused all the soldiers to immediately fall to their stomachs with their heads in their hands.

"Soviets shelling! hidden! hidden!" The platoon commander was so frightened that he quickly leaned against the door of the car where Wren was and shouted loudly at his comrades, Wren and Alice did not panic, because they could tell when they heard the sound of the cannonball, it was just a single shot similar to harassment.

The number of Soviet artillery in the encirclement of Moscow was not large, and it was simply not enough to make up the foundation for large-scale shelling, so most of them could only prove their existence with this occasional harassing fire. But most of the infantry still retained the habit of concealment, and no one was willing to risk their lives.

Not noticing that the enemy continued to shoot, the nearby Germans awkwardly got up from the ground, laughed and slapped the dust on their bodies, and the platoon commander also stood up from the side of the car and signaled to Wren that they could pass. So Rennes and Alice, who had a false alarm, drove their cars to the Italian defensive positions.

Compared with the German defensive positions, the Italians were not so closely checked, and when they saw Rennes's rank, most of them took the attitude of letting them go. Soon the two of them drove the car and came to the defense area of Army Group G.

After the inspection, they were accompanied by a few soldiers, and by the way, they rushed to the station of the 502nd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, on the way they saw groups of armored vehicles and tanks, which were obviously more newer and more numerous than those of Army F.

Tiger tanks and King Tiger tanks are parked on the side of the road in a row, high-power radio stations are erected in tent areas on the side of the road, a large amount of materials are stacked in the open-air distribution area, and trucks and towed artillery are everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Even, occasionally, helicopters can be seen passing in the sky, and in order to build the strength of the armored army group that crushes the opponent, the German army can be said to be very willing to spend money on the construction of its own army group G and army group A.

When Wren's car stopped next to a new King Tiger with a thicker barrel than the others, he got out of the car and saw the familiar face of Marcus, a young boy younger than him: "Hey, Marcus, it's been a long time, I heard you're still so verbose." ”

Alice also jumped out of the car and gave Marcus a big hug: "Hey, Marcus, I heard that you are already a battalion commander, and Wren and I miss you so much." ”

When Marcus saw his old man, he also showed a smile that he had almost forgotten now, after all, he was now a battalion commander, and a hippie smile would affect his prestige: "Wren, Alice, why did you get to the front?"-
