Chapter 1168 1169 A good home
Just as a few months ago, Wren climbed onto the familiar King Tiger tank with great skill, looking at the barrel of the larger-looking 105 mm gun, and stroking the white ring on it that represented Marcus's achievements. One after another, the rings are densely packed, filling those who see them with awe.
"How's the 502nd Battalion? Everything is alright? How many of those people I know, how many are there?" Wren asked, leaning against the turret, to Marcus, who had climbed up with him. He wanted to know everything that had happened here since he left, and if it weren't for the time constraints, he would have even wanted to hear Marcus recount what had happened these days.
Marcus smiled and pulled out a whole piece of chocolate candy from the pocket of his clothes, which was much purer than the kind they distributed in Wren at the time. Now that Germany has more abundant supplies, so what is produced is more genuine, Wren took the whole piece of chocolate, looked at each other with a pair of eyes, and waited for the other to answer his question.
"The battalion commander has been promoted, and I heard that he has been specially recruited into the Wehrmacht and promoted to the commander of the armored regiment. Marcus nodded with his chin at the battalion headquarters maintenance company not far away, and said: "The old man and most of the skilled workers in the maintenance company have been transferred to various units, and the new recruits who have been added are not as neat as they used to be, but they are okay. ”
After he finished talking about the current situation of the 502 battalion, he continued to talk about the soldiers under his command: "After you left, the people who came up were all new recruits, but the enemy didn't have anything tricky, so I came along the way, and now everyone has experience and more tacit cooperation...... Although it is not as capable as when you were in the time, with me here, it is definitely the most capable unit. ”
When Wren heard the news, he nodded and said to Marcus: "It's not just you, many veterans on the army side have been transferred to the new unit to train new people, so you don't have to complain." I've heard that Wittmann and Karjus are worse off than you, so be content. ”
"Alas, there's no way, I don't know who tossed out this set of things for the old man with the recruits, it's just that he doesn't leave a way for us ace troops to live. Marcus pointed to the recruits who were training over there, and said to Wren: "There are still two members of the car crew who are going to the Far East to join the volunteer army, I heard that there are more than 170 imperial gold marks per month in subsidies, so there are many powerful car crew members." ”
"Oh?" Wren was stunned, the Far East has already transferred some of the main forces in the direction of Moscow? It seems that the German top brass has begun to calculate the strategic operations in the Far East, and Wren does not know much about this matter, because it is the more elite special forces of the German army that are mobilized for the Far East, not the novices he taught.
Marcus also did not have any information on this, he only deduced the size of the German reinforcements in the Far East from the transfer of several nearby troops that he knew: "Army Group G has about 5,000 men, most of whom are veterans with some combat experience......
"I heard that every veteran brings a new recruit, and the ratio is the highest in the whole army. The mechanical and electrical officer in the Marcus tank crew poked his head out and interjected: "I also heard that the foster care of the troops over there is according to the standard of paratroopers, which is very high...... So a lot of people want to go over there. ”
The war not only created a huge Third Reich, but also countless professional soldiers, and now the Third Reich has more than 7.5 million regular troops and auxiliary troops, of which almost 1.5 million are murderous super soldiers. These soldiers, who have been training since 10 years ago, are best at using the MG42 or MP-44 or even a bayonet to kill the enemy in front of them.
These soldiers snore like thunder every day on the ground with the rumbling of artillery, can go for many days without bathing or changing clothes, sleep with their weapons in their arms and eat the most rubbish meals every day, and then live peacefully in the cold trenches...... These soldiers are not normal people, and even the way they speak and stand is different.
Their specialty is killing, and this skill is simply useless in the coming years of peace. These people become a burden to society, a burden to the family – and if they can continue their familiar life in the Far East, it will be a relief for them or for others.
"The Far East, maybe it's a paradise for us people. Wren looked to the far east, as if a storm was raging there. His voice was heard by Alice, who was sitting nearby, who twisted Wren's arm hard.
Marcus saw this action, and then laughed, and then he looked at Wren's face seriously, and said: "Wren, listen to my advice, the war that belongs to you is over, you and Alice honestly find Andre and officiate the wedding for the two of you......"
Speaking of Andre, both Wren and Alice were not very good-looking, and they tried to go to Andre's hometown to find him who was injured and retired, but the other party did not return to his hometown. So Wren and Alice have been waiting for their wedding celebrant until now, that is, their artillery Andrew.
......
In the Far East, in a trench on the front line of the Japanese defense, a group of Japanese soldiers were lying on the wall of their trench, holding their weapons and staring into the distance. Just now their positions were attacked by Soviet 122-mm howitzers, so the battle was on the verge of breaking out, and everyone was ready for battle accordingly.
"The Soviets on the other side have been getting more and more proud lately, and those planes that came from nowhere have allowed them to regain their air supremacy, and when our pilots come back! They can only roll back to cold Siberia to eat ice!" a Japanese soldier complained to his comrades with his hands on the steel helmet above his head.
Recently, the situation in the Far East has been very unfavorable to Japan, and the gap in armored forces that already exists is quite a headache, and now that the German pilots have helped the Soviets to regain air supremacy, the Soviet T-26 tanks and the American M4 tanks, which were originally afraid to go out, have begun to be frequently active.
After losing several positions in succession, the Japanese had no choice but to shrink their defensive line and finally stabilize their position, and as a result, the terrible artillery of the Soviets seemed to have enough shells again, and the artillery, which had not fired much, now began to roar again. Anyway, these days, the grassroots units of the Kwantung Army in the Japanese Far East have not felt that their lives are comfortable.
"You don't have to ramble anymore! It's enough to listen to the endless artillery of the Soviets......" A co-shooter lying next to the heavy machine gun was holding a plate of bullets, looking very dissatisfied with the covering rifleman next to him.
In fact, the Japanese army in the Far East lacked a large number of anti-tank weapons, and in this unfavorable situation, the Japanese army was full of self-amusement, and they regarded the heavy machine guns issued with armor-piercing shells as anti-tank weapons, and for a time felt that they were still capable of resisting the pressure of the Soviet soldiers.
"Shut up! there's something wrong on the other side...... The movement in the woods does not look like the T-26 tanks of the Soviets...... Go and get in touch with the captain in the back and ask him to find a way to get some explosives packs, I don't think something is right!" a veteran shouted to his commander as he pointed to a swaying branch in the distance.
Before his shout could hit the ground, a tank painted in strange camouflage rushed out of the not-so-dense woods opposite the Japanese troops. It was an indescribable shock, and everyone on the Japanese position felt a visceral fear. Sometimes human instinct is the most direct and correct – this is called intuition.
The strange tank on the opposite side is not much taller than the American M4 tank, but it gives people a sense of oppression that is greater than any tank that the Japanese army has seen before. Maybe it was the thick feeling, maybe it was the dull roar of the engine, but the Japanese soldiers seemed to feel it, and they couldn't destroy this monster that they had never seen before.
"Shoot, fire, aim at the enemy's chariot, destroy the chariot!" The Japanese commander on the position also seemed to sense the danger of the other side, brandishing his command knife and shouting loudly. The Japanese soldiers began to pull the bolts of their guns and shoot at the "never-before-seen" monster that rushed out.
It was in fact a Leopard tank, a late Leopard, with thickened armor at the front and partially improved mobility. Considering that the Japanese forces in the Far East had few strong armored forces, the German support for the Far East gave priority to the ground forces of transport, and the lightest Leopard tanks were chosen.
But even so, the Leopard tank, which was already slightly behind in the German sequence, was already a super-powerful existence that crushed everything in the Far East. This tank did not have any Japanese tank that could penetrate its armor at normal engagement distances, while the main gun of the Leopard tank could destroy the vast majority of Japanese armored vehicles at a distance of 1,500 meters.
So the German Leopard tank, which rushed out of the woodland, calmly stopped its advance, and then aimed its cannon at the Japanese position, fired a grenade, knocking out a Japanese machine-gun fire point that fired first. Before the disgraced Japanese troops continued to fire, the second Leopard tank also rushed out of the forest, and this time on the Japanese position, the Japanese infantry who were constantly pulling the bolt of their guns were completely desperate-
