"Shall I squat down with my hands on my head?" Karus saw Wren and let out a bright smile, the two of them had a good relationship when they were first established in the All-Elite 501 Battalion, and now they are even more cordial when they meet.

In war, it's easy to find yourself without friends, and the so-called friends who have just met and reported each other's hometown names won't even be left after a battle, and then there will be new faces added to each other, indifferently looking at each other's brains to strike up a conversation. Over time, no one will ever think about meeting any new "friends".

So in the midst of a brutal war, it's a good thing to see familiar faces, and old familiar faces, because it means that the acquaintances you know are not dead, and you yourself are still alive for the time being - this is indeed a very pleasant thing.

"If it weren't for your clumsy ambush, I would have almost lost a grenade!" Wren withdrew the bullet from the gun, locked the safety of the gun, walked up to Calus, and said with a smile: "Glad it was Alice who fired, if I give you a magazine behind the back, you will all have to go to God." ”

"Come on, don't scare people. I don't believe you can see our group of people in SS uniforms still firing straight to the point where they run out of bullets. Calus smiled and hugged Wren, and pointed to the people around him: "They are all my students, the eldest apprentice, and the second apprentice...... Anyway, it's a bunch of guys who follow the mix, and they're all masters of tank warfare. ”

This is not Karus bragging, but his troops can really be regarded as an elite division that does not lose to the 1st Company of Rennes. When the 503 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion was strengthened to Army A at that time, its record was close to that of the 501st Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, which had the number one ace in tank warfare in the whole army, and it became the two most powerful fist units under Army Group A.

Karus personally destroyed 123 tanks with a Tiger tank, firmly occupying the third place of the German ace. When attacking the Minsk flank, he single-handedly destroyed dozens of tanks of the broken Soviet armored forces, almost breaking the record set by Wittmann in Britain for the most tanks destroyed in a single battle.

And his unit also destroyed a total of more than 300 enemy tanks, ranking among the top three in the entire German armored forces, coupled with his steady fighting style and a fierce exudation, he is really a rare expert in local tank warfare.

Otherwise, his battalion would not have been selected and would have become the first German unit to be equipped with the new King Tiger tank. After changing the Tiger King, he also personally led the army to participate in the tragic battle for the Orsha Heights, in that bloody battle, at the cost of a Tiger King, destroyed a full 17 Soviet tanks, including 5 Stalin tanks.

In fact, the destroyed King Tiger tank in their battalion was not destroyed by the opponent's tank, but by a tank that broke its tracks and was then blown up by the swarming Soviet infantry. Before it was blown up, the 503rd Battalion managed to rescue the crew of the tank and destroy the equipment inside before abandoning the tank.

Then the Germans launched an attack to snatch the wreckage of the King Tiger, and the Soviets saw that they could not capture the severely damaged German new tank, so they had to carry out blasting and completely destroy the King Tiger tank. Before it was abandoned, the King Tiger tank was hit by a dozen Soviet anti-tank guns, large and small, but not a single shell could penetrate its heavy front armor.

Karus and Wren walked in the front, and behind them was a group of officers and soldiers of the 503 Tank Battalion surrounded Alice Andre and others, after all, talented and capable people are respected and welcomed everywhere, not to mention a beautiful little girl.

"I heard that your Tiger tank was reluctantly abandoned in the battle of the railway bridge that was shouted at everywhere by the Propaganda Department?" Karus led the way and led Wren and others to the 503rd Battalion Headquarters, and asked Wren beside him: "Why are you working so hard? Do you really think that without you, the war will not be able to continue?"

Wren glanced at Karus, who was about his age, but already looked old, and finally replied: "I never felt that the war would have changed much without me. But I owe the Führer a favor, and I must fight every battle carefully in order to repay this favor before the war is over. ”

Karus glanced at Wren, then sighed, "You wouldn't have said this to me before, you just smiled and diverted the subject." You haven't seen you in so long, you've changed a lot. But I still have to advise you that if you fight every battle seriously, it often means that you will not survive the end of the war at all. ”

"I know that I owe the Führer this favor, that the Führer once gave me a life. Wren nodded and replied, "If I am lucky enough not to die, I will continue to live with peace of mind." I'm not like you, I'm not like Wittman, you're all warriors, and I'm a ghost. ”

"There are not many people who use ghosts to describe themselves, and you said that the Führer once saved you, but I am more interested in this matter. Karus smiled and said, "Did the Führer personally save you?"

"He took me out of that hell. Wren replied without thinking: "It's the first time I've breathed air that hasn't rotted, it's the first time I've felt the temperature around me, and it's the first time I've not had to fight the devil every morning." ”

"I'd love to have said this just a metaphor, but I'm familiar with you, so I know what you're saying is probably true. Karus swallowed and said: "I can only wish you good luck, at least the weapon that our Führer has prepared for you now can save you a second time, it can be said to be the best tank in the world, there is no one." ”

"I've heard that, apart from the firepower, this tank is simply completely new, the new chassis uses a more reliable shock system, and the whole tank is said to have better protection. Wren had done his homework before he came, at least in Guderian's office, and he had seen the tank's performance profile, which was still a top-secret document.

Karus laughed: "I can tell you responsibly, once you get on this tank, you will experience that feeling of being empowered. It has a night vision system that, while not very useful, will help you get an incredible advantage at night. ”

"You mean, I can see each other in total darkness?" Wren asked, frowning.

"Yes, it's a wonderful feeling, you can see the opponent, you can see it from a few hundred meters away, it's a little blurry, but it doesn't affect you from firing at the target. Karus replied.

"Can it also aim and even shoot while on the move?" Wren continued.

"You're right, it does shorten the time it takes to shoot at a stop-and-go shot, but firing while running on undulating roads misses the target, just like the Tiger tanks we've used before. Karus stopped at the edge of the town where the 503 battalion headquarters was located.

He pointed to a tank parked in the distance that Wren had never seen before, and said to his acquaintances, "Go and see for yourself, maybe you'll fall in love with it at once." It is the crystallization of German technology, and I heard that a new technology was used to make it faster than the Tiger tank. ”

"Thank you. Wren quickened his pace and led Andre and the others to the Karus tank, where they saw a super tank that seemed to be more powerful than the Tiger tank. Seeing that this tank was designed to better annihilate the enemy, at least Wren felt the murderous momentum on it.

Wren's familiar 88 mm caliber cannon, as well as coaxial machine guns, what makes Wren feel even more intimate is that the position of the commander's hatch above the turret of this tank has even designed a reserved machine gun mount, at least when necessary, Wren can cover the tank flanks through this machine gun, which is a more intimate design.

What makes Wren feel even more blood-pumping is that the bulletproof shape of this tank has also increased in weight, allowing Wren to calmly deal with the dangerous Stalin tank. This gave him a lot more chances to win against the wolf king Wolfe.

"When will I start learning to use and command this tank?" Wren asked Karus, who had just been overtaken by him and was now slowly walking to his side.

"Don't worry, Captain Wren. With his trademark smile on his face, Calus pointed to the building in the center of the village where the battalion headquarters was located, and said to the impatient Wren: "When our battalion commander heard that you were coming here as a guest, he personally opened a table to eat, and we opened several cans of canned beef, so we can't let them go to waste, right?"

"All right! Wren was so enthusiastic that he had to nod and agree: "There is still some time now, let's arrange a place for the five of us, there are five of us here, and it is best to have a few bedrooms." ”

"We're all ready, five beds, but we've only gotten three new quilts, you know, supplies aren't easy to get right now. Karus explained. Before he could finish his words, a cheer from the distance came, and everyone raised their hands as if there was some great joy.

"Don't know what's going on. If you're not in a hurry to rest, let's go and see what's going on. With that, Calus walked in the direction of cheering, and Wren naturally followed suit.
