Chapter 32 There is a price to be paid for blocking the way
Randall's voice came from inside the headphones: "See, it's a little far, but you can try, it's calculating the artillery yuan!" ”
"Okay, HE high-explosive bomb, one test shot!"
A shell exploded not far behind the enemy, sending up a puff of smoke and causing panic among the enemy in the position.
"Very good, a little farther away, the error is not very large, the azimuth is adjusted to the left by 10 meters, the distance is shortened by 30 meters, HE high-explosive shells, all tanks are fired in three bursts!"
Soon after, 9 shells exploded on the enemy's position in succession, looking at the artillery parts that were blown up into the sky, the red dot on the system minimap had disappeared, Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, and explained on the radio, No. 1 C drove down the mound and went to the location where the second enemy was found.
The No. 1 destroyer in charge of the sniper mission does not need to move anymore, only needs to adjust the direction of the muzzle slightly.
Type I C arrived at the location where the second enemy was found, and the shaking enemy was no longer visible in the telescope, and the shelling just now was supposed to alarm the enemy here, but fortunately, the 47mm Czech-made anti-tank gun was still hiding there, and the biggest threat at this stage was this anti-tank gun, and everything else was a piece of cake after destroying it.
A few minutes later, four tanks, Hubbot's Team II and Type C, were fired from the sniper position, each heading for two enemy positions that had already been shelled, and they were responsible for clearing the remaining enemy and cleaning up the battlefield.
"The anti-tank guns of the enemy's No. 1 position have been destroyed, the enemy has left 3 corpses, the number of escapees is unknown, and a number of 47mm shells have been left at the scene."
"The anti-tank guns of the enemy's No. 2 position have been destroyed, and the enemy has not left a corpse, but there are blood stains at the scene, and they should have fled, leaving a number of 47mm shells at the scene."
The red dot representing the enemy on the minimap of the system has disappeared, and the surroundings should be safe for the time being, listening to the report of the Hubot team on the radio, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Bring those shells, we can use them, everyone gather on the road, and take a short rest!" ”
There are not many 47mm anti-tank shells, and they were quickly divided up by three tank destroyers No. 1, which usually looks like an eyesore and occupies a place, and no one is too much after it is really on the battlefield.
Second Lieutenant Hubot was a middle-aged man, with short brown hair, a slight stubble on his face, a burly figure, and a straight back, but the tank soldiers were not tall, and he looked energetic, smiling all the time, and his big eyes flashed with a simple light.
After arranging the guard tank, Hubot came to Li Jing, saluted a standard military salute, and then said: "Good noon, major, it's a pleasure to see you, I hope we can cooperate happily!" ”
Li Jing could see that Hubot was an experienced veteran, and hurriedly returned a military salute: "Good afternoon, Second Lieutenant Hubot, thank you for the reminder before, otherwise we will have to struggle for a while longer, haha!" ”
"It's nothing, even if there is no reminder from me, the two commanders will quickly think of countermeasures, I just said it in advance."
At this time, Randall came over and said, "Oh, don't be polite, is there anything else that Boss Li needs to explain?" Everyone is tired and needs a break! ”
It can be seen that Randall is a little floating, Li Jing and Hubott look at each other and smile, the previous few combat destroyer teams have indeed contributed the most, and the most fortunate thing is that there were no casualties, such results are indeed very good.
Arrange for everyone to take turns to eat and rest, and you need to be vigilant at all times when you are on the battlefield. The monkey and Randall hooked shoulders and didn't know what to do, while Li Jing and Hubot found a sheltered place to sit down, and took the field rations and introduced the situation to each other while eating.
Hubot's tank squad belonged to the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 14th Armored Division, the only regiment in the armored division that was fully equipped with tank II.
According to Hubot, everyone actually didn't like the II tank, and they kept clamoring to change to the Czech 38t tank. The weak armor of the No. II tank and the low engine power used the Mabach HL57 6-barrel 130 horsepower gasoline engine, which could only provide a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and when off-road, it was not as fast as a soldier.
These II C models are equipped with 20mm KWK 38 L/55A guns, using 10 rounds of magazines, the firepower can be said to be extremely poor, 10 rounds of magazines are not enough to hit armored vehicles, it is better to use vehicle-mounted machine guns to fight infantry waste, and the reload is slow, it is simply chicken to the extreme, fortunately, 20 mm of additional armor is installed, which can be used as a shield for infantry in peacetime to impact the enemy's infantry positions.
In the midst of Hubot's complaints, the rest time was over, everyone got into the car, Li Jing announced that he would continue to set off, raised his hand to look at his watch, and the time was 12:33 noon.
Continuing the previous marching plan, Li Jing's Type I C was in front to reconnoiter and explore the way, and the eight tanks in the back had to concentrate on action because of the same speed, and Hubot's squad was responsible for protecting the destroyer team, and the four tanks were separated to the two ends of the team, and the two were at the head and two at the rear.
It was a lot calmer along the way, and I never saw the ambush team ready to block the road, and when I encountered a possible ambush location, Li Jing would command the monkeys to drive over and take a look, and the others couldn't manage too much, just ensure that it was safe within a few kilometers around this road, as long as the task was completed, it had nothing to do with the fact that it was full of enemies.
Finally, a large red dot appeared on the side of the road on the map, and the coordinates of the hiding place of the supply convoy were not far north of the red dot, and the large red dot should be the enemy that the supply convoy said was about a battalion.
Li Jing's scalp was numb when he saw it, and he didn't feel anything when he saw the stalemate battlefield situation before, after all, the competition between the enemy and us had little to do with him, but when it was his turn to face it alone, he was still a little weak-hearted, and the top priority was to find the supply convoy first, and then make other plans after understanding the situation.
The tank squad behind them was informed of the situation and told them to stop and find a place to hide, while Type I C drove off the road and began to detour as far away from the enemy.
Sure enough, I found the supply convoy in a semicircle, and the infantry company escorting the convoy had already exchanged fire with the enemy, and I saw from the telescope that the exchange of fire between the two sides was not intense, and there was no positional cover, it was more like a sudden encounter and a fight, and neither side used heavy firepower, and it was seen that both sides were holding their guns and shooting at each other in a favorable terrain.
Contacting the supply convoy by radio and explaining its intentions, the Type I and C drove smoothly into the woods where the convoy was hidden.
Soon, Li Jing met the commander of the supply convoy, a middle-aged man with an obese figure, who looked tired, the corners of his mouth drooped, his eyes were not big, and he squinted as if he hadn't woken up.
