Chapter Twenty-Four: Singing Katyusha Across the River

In order to boost the morale of the comrades who had a somewhat gloomy atmosphere, Katyusha still led the singing, even though it was difficult to open the hatch for a long time because of the heavy rain, and it would be a little stuffy to do that kind of thing in the chariot.

"pacцвetaлnr6лohnnгpywn (Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world)"

"Пoплылntymahыhaдpekon (Soft light veil floating on the river)"

"Выходиланаберег Катюша (Go out to the bank of the river, Katyusha)"

"Навысокийберег, накрутой (to the high and steep riverbank)"

In the pouring rain, the 16 chariots of Truth marched steadily in an undeployable but still neat formation. Even with the sound of steel and the roar of the rain, the song that echoed in everyone's chariot was still so beautiful.

"Выходиланаберег Катюша (Go out to the bank of the river, Katyusha)"

"Навысокийберег, накрутой (to the high and steep riverbank)"

After Katyusha finished singing the first stanza, Nona continued to sing.

"Выходила, песнюзаводила (Singing while walking)"

"Простепного, сизогоорла (Singing about the goshawk over the steppe)"

Nona began to speak and sang along with Katyusha.

"Протого, котороголюбила (Singing about the boy she likes from the bottom of her heart)"

"Протого, чьиписьмаберегла (His envelopes are treasured)"

Not only Katyusha and Nona, but inevitably, all the members of the crew of the truth began to sing.

"Протого, котороголюбила (Singing about the boy she likes from the bottom of her heart)"

"Протого, чьиписьмаберегла (His envelopes are treasured)"

Accompanied by beautiful and passionate songs, the chariot of truth left one trail after another on the muddy ground, gradually moving towards the battlefield ahead.

Truth didn't send a reconnaissance vehicle, because the current terrain doesn't have that aftertaste. However, the convoy's movements were already under the surveillance of the Hessian reconnaissance vehicle, a Type III tank J.

……………………………………………………

Hessian Women's College –

This reconnaissance vehicle, the III. tank, relying on its weight and size, which was much lower than the other tanks on the Hesse, crossed the terrain that other tanks could not pass, and came to the other side of the river, which happened to be a narrow distance, about 50 meters away from the convoy of truth, which was so close. It was under the cover of the rain curtain that he was safe.

"This is Team L, the main force that found the truth in I15, because the rain is too heavy to see clearly, it is impossible to confirm the exact number, but there must be more than 10 vehicles!" Inside Tank III, the commander is pressing his throat microphone to deliver a report to his superiors.

"Report the enemy vehicle model." Maho on the other side said lightly.

"Uh, that...... I'll take a look at ............" The tone of the commander of the reconnaissance vehicle blurred suddenly.

"Akashi-san, didn't you already ask for the model of the chariot that the truth can play in before the game?" Miho asked.

"Ah...... That is, I memorized it, but the rain was too big to see clearly, and the chariots of truth looked too similar, so I was ashamed. Akashi Xiaomei almost burst into tears.

"Anyway...... Well, a tank without a square-headed tall turret, probably...... Without KV, although the turret of the KV-1 is not large, the KV-1 should not be in battle; There are two mid-mounted turrets, probably ...... T-44, the rest are front turrets, which are not clear...... brakes and suspensions, possibly ...... T-34 or Stalin tank, but it was not possible to confirm the specific model. I can't tell if there is a flag car. ”

Xiaomei can only report the situation according to her own understanding.

Maho: "Understood. I will refer to the judgment, please continue to monitor, and report any new situation immediately. ”

Xiaomei: "Understood. Well...... They stopped, and the turrets of five vehicles began to ...... in this direction Turn ............"

Xiaomei reported too seriously, and she was stunned for a while, thanks to Miho's urgent "Escape!" Xiaomei indirectly stomped on her driver and shouted, "Retreat!" ”

I don't know why it was found...... Obviously, I can barely see the enemy through the rain with a high-magnification mirror, and in order to increase the outward vision of the convoy, ordinary convoys use low-magnification lenses. Anyway, if you find out, you have to try to save your life.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden ............"

Clusters of flashes of light flashed on the turret of the chariot opposite, mixed with brilliant tracer bullets, and shot in this direction.

It seems that the other party only confirmed that there was a tank here, and did not fully discover its specific location, so they searched with a coaxial machine gun. The machine gun is very cool, but it is just an itch for the tank, and the machine gun is just bullying the Type 89 or something.

However, if you are hit by a coaxial machine gun, you will shoot a cannonball the next moment, the turret aimed at you! The worst tank in the School of Truth is also the T-34/76, which easily kills the III. tank.

"Turn around and go back the way you came!"

The advantages of the chariot's lightness were reflected, and it quickly turned back, and Xiaomei planned to retreat back to the depths of the woods the same way, this forest was not very big, but the other party could not cross it across a river, and it was safe to retreat to the other side of the woods.

A tank fired on the opposite side, and the shell exploded about 3m in front of Tank III, at which point Tank III had retreated more than 10m into the woods.

Two more tanks opened fire, blowing up trees.

Xiaomei did not give the order to fight back, and continued to retreat, and the speed of the tank soon exceeded 50km/h............

"Team L, successfully escaped."

"Understood." After Maho confirmed, he switched to the team's channel, "The enemy's main force has been discovered, and although the flag car has not been confirmed, it will be advantageous to annihilate them." ”

It seems that it is a good situation, but if you can shoot at the opponent from the other side, you don't have to worry about being surrounded by the opponent's superior mobility, and you can take advantage of the heavy armor of Hessian, especially the frontal armor. Both the Panther and King Tiger tanks have good frontal defenses, but the flanks are always a bit flattering.

However, in order to do so, it is necessary to act quickly, this river does not run through the entire arena, and with some time, the truth can be completely bypassed. Then, the time to engage the enemy should be shortened as much as possible.
