Chapter 33: The Stopped Supply Convoy

The fat commander of the supply convoy walked quickly in front of Li Jing, raised his hand and saluted, and said with a wry smile: "Finally waiting for you Boss Li, major, I am Bao Shi, the rank is second lieutenant, the commander of this supply convoy, we missed the meeting date, the division headquarters ordered us to make a detour to meet with the large army, after crossing the border, the road was very smooth, but two hours ago, I don't know where to come out of a group of routs and we ran head-on, fortunately, our machine gun fire is more, the enemy can't rush for a while, We couldn't rush through it, so we stayed like this since we started. ”

"Since it's a rout, why don't they get out of the way and keep fleeing? Although there are a lot of them, it is not so easy to eat here. Li Jing was a little confused, and the low-intensity battle lasted for two hours, which made people a little confused.

Bao Shi continued to smile bitterly: "What else can it be? I took a fancy to these supplies. Although they didn't know what supplies were in our convoy, for these routed soldiers, no matter what supplies were useful to them, they just didn't want to give up like that. ”

Li Jing couldn't help but be a little curious: "What materials are in the convoy?" ”

"Mainly some guns and ammunition, as well as a small amount of food, medicine and oil, etc., if this is known by the enemy, it is estimated that they will not be as restrained as now, and they will come up to grab a large number of casualties."

At this time, several people were removed from the front position, one of them was obviously an officer, and hurriedly walked over after seeing the two, and before the people arrived, a happy smile appeared on his dirty face: "Second Lieutenant Bao Shi, this should be Boss Li, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Volcker, the rank is a second lieutenant, the commander of L Company, I am much more relieved when you come, this group of routs will be unlucky." ”

"Hello, I'm Boss Li, what's going on now?"

"What else? It's with us, and we think that we will give up these materials on our own initiative, but how can this ......" Volcker gave a brief introduction to the situation, and the situation was similar to what Bous said.

"By the way, why do you only see Boss Li's tank? Where are your other armored vehicles? Volcker said that he was a little puzzled at the end, and couldn't help but ask.

"I took a long detour to find you, the other tanks in the squad don't have this ability, the road is too difficult to walk, and they are still behind the enemy."

"What then? Before you came, I also considered a specific plan against the enemy, your tanks and we will attack the enemy together is the best way, we only have about 200 infantry, the enemy has at least 3 companies of troops, if you rush over desperately, we have few people after all, we can't stop it. "Volcker was a little anxious.

Li Jing pondered for a while, if the team can come over, things will indeed be simple, with himself and the four II tanks, he can scatter the enemy in one fell swoop, as for the problem of the enemy escaping after the scattering, as long as they don't continue to impact the supply convoy, no one cares where they go.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to let other tanks come over now, and you can only rely on the existing conditions to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy, so that the enemy will voluntarily give up and continue to attack here, so the main thing now is the defense of this side.

Li Jing told Volcker and Bao Shi about this idea, and the two also knew that the situation was not good, if they had to wait for other tanks to come, they didn't know what would happen during the period, if they were attacked from both sides, the impact on this side should be much smaller, and they had no choice but to take the risk and try it now.

The three of them squatted on the open ground and compared with the branches, discussing how to defend, mainly arguing about how to minimize casualties, Li Jing inadvertently swept to the supply vehicle, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked Bao Shi: "Second Lieutenant Bao Shi, are there any grenades in these supply vehicles?" ”

"Yes, there are quite a few, this time the convoy is loaded with a half-carriage of grenades, major, you want to ......" Bows hesitated a little, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Volcker.

Volcker clapped his hands, a little excited: "Why didn't I think that I didn't need it before, because as long as the enemy can't be suppressed, now if it is to block the enemy's charge, the grenade is undoubtedly the best way, as long as the grenade tube is enough, I am not afraid of a regiment of enemies rushing over!" ”

"Then it is decided, our side is ready to be attacked by the enemy, I will contact the rear team, and when the time comes, we will first plow the enemy with artillery to kill and wound some of the enemy, and then four II tanks will be responsible for attacking the enemy's position, and then the enemy charge we will face should be much weaker, at least not all of them will come to this side, not to mention that my tank should also be able to play a little role, as long as our side can block the enemy's charge, at worst, we can drive the enemy to the west."

The discussion stopped, Li Jing made a final summary, some things still have to be done as soon as possible, since there is a plan, no longer do useless arguments.

Volkla and Bao Shi hurriedly solved the problem of grenades, how to fight this defensive battle, Li Jing did not plan to ask, professional things were left to professional people, and he still had to be a little self-aware.

Back on the tank, the monkey was taking a leisurely sip of water in the cab. Ignoring the monkeys, Randall and Hubot, who were in the rear, were contacted by radio and informed about the detailed combat plan. All that remains is to wait, take out the binoculars and watch, looking at the enemies who appear from time to time in the rain of bullets, Li Jing has a rare feeling of no waves, which makes Li Jing wonder if he has become cold-blooded.

The sun was shining, and a Yugoslav unit that had recently retreated from the front line was temporarily stopped here, a wasteland not far from the road, not far from the road, because it was covered with large and small gravel, so it was not suitable for growing crops, and there were not many low trees growing in the withered yellow weeds that were half a man high, and groups of soldiers were walking through the messy weeds, some of whom did not even have a weapon in their hands.

The gunfire continued in the distance, and this was the rear, and from time to time someone needed to go up or down.

In a slightly flat depression, sitting or leaning on several Yugoslav officers in dark green military uniforms, led by a middle-aged officer with a square face with a serious face, leaning on the edge of the depression, in his forties, the bandage wrapped around one arm faintly showed red blood, although he looked haggard, he was quite rich, the two buttons under the collar were not buttoned, and the military hat was held by him in the uninjured hand, fiddling.

"Let's talk about it, what are we going to do? When we retreated, we didn't bring out a lot of heavy weapons, and we certainly couldn't eat these enemies with our existing men and firepower. ”
