In the past two days, many tanks and vehicles of various types have come one after another, the camp is full of people, machinery is roaring, and many gendarmes with dog tags are directing traffic in the middle of the camp, but the tanks are still moving with difficulty.

Finally came to the assembly place of the squad, and saw a suspected command tank parked next to the 3 No. 1 tank destroyers, a group of young people in the squad were gathering together to chat and play at this time, and the young faces showed laughing expressions from time to time, Li Jing jumped off the tank and commanded the monkey to park the tank.

A sturdy blonde young man approached Li Jing and asked loudly, "Hey, sir, is there a 20mm machine gun on this tank?" How's the power? What is that headbag on the turret? How come I've never seen one? ”

Li Jing glanced at the familiar young man, who was not tall, less than 1.7 meters, and his skin was darker than others, and looked at the weapon on the tank turret and replied: "The EW 141 anti-tank machine gun of 7.92 mm caliber uses a 40-round drum, and the reason why it looks like 20 mm is because its barrel is heavy and long, and a casing is added to protect the barrel exposed outside the turret, don't underestimate it, although the caliber is small, its sub-ammunition room is thicker than a finger, At a distance of 100 meters, it was possible to penetrate 30-mm armor plates at an angle of 32 degrees. ”

"Oh roar, then it must be very cool when it shoots!" The young man's eyes were shining and he was staring at the barrel of the gun, and his saliva was about to flow out, like a bus idiot meeting a beautiful woman, Li Jing was cold.

At this time, the monkey parked the tank and jumped down from the tank, walked to Li Jing's side, and stretched out his hand to the young man in a friendly manner: "Monkey, the driver of this tank, the head bag on the turret is a night vision device, which allows us to see the enemy at night when we can't see our fingers, but it is more delicate, and whether it can play a role on the battlefield can only depend on the mood of God and his old man." ”

The young man came to his senses when he heard the monkey's voice, turned his head and saw the monkey's outstretched hand, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake it: "Hello sir, my name is Pol, the gunner of car No. 403, a third-class private." ”

The monkey is not wearing a military uniform with a military rank, it is estimated that Randall revealed about the military rank, Li Jing and the monkey have relatively high ranks, so people have to be careful, the monkey's military rank is lieutenant, and it is more than enough to be the commander of the squad.

The monkey's face was full of smiles, maybe for the first time he had the feeling of being a leader, and his vanity was bursting: "I'm older than you, you can just call me Brother Monkey, it's the first time to go to the battlefield, right?" How does it feel? ”

Li Jing secretly despised the monkey in his heart, he didn't want his face, what kind of big-tailed wolf was pretending. Casually looking around, he didn't see Randall, so he casually asked someone: "You, who is that, yes, Hilmer, right?" Is Lieutenant Randall here? I see his command tank here! ”

Li Jing remembered that he was the commander of the 178th car, and the lazy blonde young man straightened up slightly: "Report to the chief, Lieutenant Randall should be at the command headquarters now, he is usually not at this time, and he usually comes to have dinner with us in the evening." ”

Li Jing nodded when he heard this, and asked, "How is the vehicle maintained?" Can I go at any time? You're all filled with fuel, right? ”

"The vehicles have been inspected and maintained, but they have not been refueled when they come to the camp, and the fuel in the camp is relatively tight, and now the fuel of several tanks is basically bottoming out." A young man with short black hair interjected, and Li Jing looked at Miansheng.

Li Jing asked suspiciously, "Are you?" ”

"Report sir, I'm Wig, First Rank Corporal, the driver of this 132 command tank."

Li Jing nodded to indicate that he knew, and then asked everyone to gather over and give an order: "I don't care what method you use, I will fill up all the tanks this morning, and prepare at least two spare oil drums filled with 20 liters for each tank, and prepare personal equipment and everything, and prepare field rations and water for another 3 days, so that you can set off at any time, okay, let's get busy now!" ”

The monkey stretched out his thumb to Li Jing next to him, waited for the crowd to disperse, and said to Li Jing teasingly: "Okay, Boss Li, it's a little bit like that." After saying that, he laughed, Li Jing was not annoyed, and when he saw that the monkey was playing tricks, he laughed and scolded a few words.

The monkey is a bit of a social cow B syndrome, and after a while, he has been familiar with most of the people, and the Wei Ge he just met hooked his shoulders and talked and laughed around the neighborhood, here and there to touch, comfortable is not good.

Not long after eating lunch, I saw Randall hurriedly looking for him, holding a telegram in his hand and hurriedly saying: "The latest order of the military department, 'Operation 25' has been advanced, and the operation will start in the early morning of the 10th, that is, at 3 o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and now there are less than 15 hours left to prepare." ”

Li Jing had long known that the operation would be in advance, and he had already made preparations, and he didn't react much when he heard the words, but just asked, "Have the troops been assembled?" Won't it be a bit rushed? ”

"If you haven't arrived today, don't wait, the latest assembly location of the troops has changed, we will fight over and collect small units along the way." Randall hurried away after speaking, presumably going to inform the others.

Soon the camp began to be lively, everyone was busy checking the vehicles and weapons, especially the team that was not ready for the materials, all gathered at the material distribution point, the material distribution point of the quartermaster department was overcrowded, Li Jing and their team had to move a distance to the distance, the team members secretly rejoiced, fortunately the materials were almost prepared in the morning, and now there is no need to go there to line up, the members of the team looked at Li Jing with full convincing, and the morning complaints had been left behind and I don't know how far.

After dinner, Li Jing ordered everyone to hurry up and rest, and get up again in the early morning to eat and prepare for battle, after all, there may not be a chance to eat and rest properly for a period of time after that.

By the middle of the night, everyone in the team got up to prepare, put on their gear, and checked their belongings. The clothes that Li Jing and the monkey had worn before, as well as useless keys and miscellaneous items, were all wrapped together and stuffed into the corner of the tank. A few men were then sent to collect food and water, and the rest were groggily dozing off against the tank. In fact, it is impossible to rest well from the afternoon to now, and there has been a lot of noise in the camp, so I can only take a nap for a while.

Randall found Li Jing and asked about the team's marching plan, and the two briefly discussed, considering that the No. 1 tank destroyer was not fast off-road, the two decided to follow the large army, with the No. 1 C type leading the reconnaissance in front, and the rest of the vehicles followed along the main road, keeping a distance of 300 meters from the front and rear, and marching conservatively.
