On the seventh day of the commemorative cup, in the afternoon, the Chariot of Truth station-

"No, at this time, there is a problem with the pitching mechanism of the main gun of the fighter, and it will really be over." With a little frown, Willisa took the hammer and hammered it against the IS-2M's cannon shield a few times, of course, to no avail.

"There's no way around it, after all, it's been working since the day before yesterday." Nina said with a little trepidation.

It seems that the IS-1 of the day before yesterday hit the IS-2M with the shot that hit the additional armor on the gun shield and the gun shield joint, making the gun shield a little slightly deformed, presumably so.

The carbon coating can protect the vehicle from breakdown and shock wave damage, but the armor is still likely to buffer deformation, generally speaking, a little deformation on the armor is very easy to repair, even if it is left untouched for a period of time, it is harmless, and the deformed place will become more and more fragile, and the more deformed the more it will not be hit, but it is almost impossible for the shell to hit the same position of the tank continuously.

The additional armor is even more disregarded, when I think about it, I feel better, and I dismantle it and replace it with a new one.

However, the position of this additional armor slightly dented is inevitably too tricky. At first, it was fine, but the metal fatigue would accumulate, and after a few tests, it was fine, and now the last test before the competition went wrong. But at least if something goes wrong on the field, okay? It's not good, either-

"It's only now that there is a problem, it's impossible to bring a spare part on the spot, what should I do as a gunner if I can't pitch the artillery??!!!!" Willissa yelled at Nina.

"Eh, ah~~~ Willisa is so scary?!" Nina burst into tears.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Alas. Willisa tossed the hammer into the spare toolbox and sighed.

"As for it? Wouldn't it be enough to dismantle this piece of armor? The tools are still available, but it doesn't take much time. Ye Liusha, who was sitting on the hatch blowing the wind, said casually.

"Isn't it possible that our Stalin tank will not be able to stop even the Panther G tank?" Willisa didn't have a good air.

"Comrade Willissa, the protection of the T-44 and KV-122 you sat on in the past is also to this extent, and this time the opponent is not stronger than in the past, but I am afraid that it is not like you." Ye Liusha said.

"Isn't it that a driver is unreliable?" Willissa squinted and muttered.

"Did you just say something interesting? Is there something wrong with my driving? Ye Liusha asked with the smile of the eldest lady.

"Yes, yes, it's because the engine of the tank is not good. The gunner Hesse Peak who can hit the little vertical 100mm part of the chariot turret gun shield doesn't have it now, so let's dismantle it. ”

Twenty minutes later, a metal plate with a large hole in the middle for a 122mm cannon to pass through was dropped in the pile of discarded parts.

"Yo Xi, the pitching mechanism is finally normal." Hui Lisha turned the hand wheel to adjust the angle of the main gun back and forth a few times and nodded.

"However, the possibility of the turret being penetrated has also increased, so you have to watch the enemy's fire more closely so that you can change the turret at any time, and the map of this game feels very unreliable." Thinking so, Willisa picked up her hand again and thought about whether there was anything else she had forgotten.

In the past two days, I have been running around by myself, and I have paid a little less attention to the chariot, although the "reliable comrade" should be fine, but what is the clutter before the start of the last national championship?

"Wellissa, is it okay?" Alina, who was groping around in the body of the chariot to inspect it, climbed up and asked.

"Oh, it's okay on my side, what about you?" Willissa asked.

"It's okay here, great, there's no other problem." Alina sighed with her hands on her chest.

"It's ready, it's almost time, Elena, it's time to salute the new captain of Hesse." Nina shouted as she stuck her head in the car.

"Yes—"

……………………………………………………

In terms of the School of Truth——

Nina and Alina, who came back from saluting, were almost in tears again, because Erica, the captain of Hessian Peak, was too fierce and vicious. She has always admired the battle of "kings (local tyrants)", which gives people an extremely strong feeling, even if she doesn't use strong armor and heavy artillery.

As the race began, the engines of the Truth's army-green chariots roared, but only one T-34/76 disappeared with a burst of momentum.

It was a reconnaissance vehicle, and it had gone to reconnoiter according to the most likely route of Hesshorn, and the target was near the high ground in the center of the field.

The other chariots did not drive out, but one by one the members other than the driver jumped out of the chariot and ran towards the nearby woods.

Willisa was also among them, Nina was the captain, and they were all in charge of watching and directing in the car, and Yelyusa was going to start the engine, so only Alina followed Willisa and ran close to the trees.

"Aren't there enough dead branches falling this season?"

"Anyway, let's find as much as you can."

Willissa and Alina began to bend down and froper desperately to pick up a passable branch or something similar. The other chariots are doing the same thing.

"Why don't you cut down some bushes? Wouldn't it be better to keep some leaves? Feeling inefficient, Willisa was ready to pull out from under her skirt............

"Wait! It's not wet! Alina organized it immediately.

"Huh? Do you want to point it? "Willisa is a little baffled, isn't it just to drag these behind the chariot and "sweep the floor"?

"It seems like arson is forbidden in the war lane, right? We're not the shameless ribbon girl. Willissa continued.

"Just in case, what if the ground doesn't have enough dust?" Alina said.

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. I hope I don't need it. Willissa took her hand away from the prop under her skirt with some regret.

However, not every car was given such a thing, only half of the vehicles were needed, namely two Stalin tanks and four T-34/85s, and two SU-152s, which were dragged behind the car.

"Hey!" After finishing her errand, Willisa shouted into the car, motioning for Nina to get out of the way and let herself in, so that she didn't have to rush over the people.

Not long after Willisa sat back in the gunner's seat, Alina took the walkie-talkie away from her mouth and said to Nina, "Nina...... Ah, Captain, all the vehicles are ready. ”

Nina took the walkie-talkie: "Okay, let's do Plan A first, let's go!" вперёд (forward)! ”

"Ulla!" x n

The chariot, which dragged a bunch of dead branches, and the chariot that had nothing behind, divided into two armies and headed in different directions.
