738 practice while walking

"If we rush over like this, it is estimated that Moscow will be beaten down." On the side of the road, on the new Leopard C tank, Gun Commander Tyre looked at Karjus boredly and complained.

In front of him, German trucks were jammed into the road, seemingly busier than the streets of Berlin.

Yes, the closer you get to the front line, the more congested the roads become. Cars have to go from here, tanks and all kinds of armored vehicles have to go from here.

Moreover, there are countless trucks to be withdrawn from the front line, and trucks full of wounded people are also parked on the side of the road, waiting for a transport and supply battalion in front to pass first.

The roads are still muddy, and by German standards, there are basically no roads.

There is really no way, about 300 meters away is a main road, the road condition is really good, but unfortunately it has been occupied by another transportation plan, not allowed to pass at all.

What's even more depressing is that this country road here was originally dirt, and after too many trucks and tanks passed, it had long been crushed to the point that it had lost its original appearance.

It was full of potholes and mud, and not far away there were camping tents set up by infantry regiments or infantry divisions.

As far as the eye could see, the soldiers who were hurrying with their heads bowed were walking one by one, carrying their weapons and luggage, step by step in the direction of the front line.

The congestion, the closer you get to the front line, the worse it becomes, and from time to time you can hear the sound of artillery, which is the long-range heavy artillery of the German army, bombarding Soviet positions in the direction of Moscow.

According to the officers who met along the way, Army Group Center had switched its front to infantry and was launching a tentative attack on Moscow.

The battle has started since yesterday, and the battle has caused a large number of casualties among the German army, which can be analyzed from its own casualty figures, and the losses of the Soviet troops on the opposite side are also very huge.

"I can't help it, we were ordered to give way here, and we can only continue to travel when these trucks are finished, and then when the wounded transports on the opposite side are withdrawn......" Karyus shrugged his shoulders helplessly, indicating that he was also innocent.

He also wanted to go to the front line, but he had just received new weapons and equipment, and he had to get used to it during the run-in period.

The original order was that they would train near their original station for seven days, and then cooperate with other troops to fight two skirmishes before they could really take charge of themselves.

It's a pity that everything in the state of war is in chaos. Because of the lack of tanks in the front-line positions, the officers and men of the 505 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, after only three hours of training, were ordered to assemble in the direction of the theater while training.

The officers and men of the 505 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, who were in high spirits, immediately set off, took their tanks, and rushed to a place only more than 30 kilometers away from the front line while training along the way.

"By the time the truck is gone, it'll be dawn......" Tyre frowned as he looked at the canned box he was holding in his hand, stirring the mushy food twice with the fork in his other hand.

The food is really getting worse and worse now, there are fewer and fewer lumps of food in the cans, and the rest is filled with soup that doesn't cost money.

Although in terms of how to eat it, it was recommended that the officers and soldiers open it and eat it with bread, but everyone knows that these things are indeed more unpalatable than the previous ones.

Except for the shrinkage of the contents of the can, the rest of the stuff is quite stable. At least they got cigarettes and various armor subsidies, including air-dried sausages for each crew.

Fortunately, there are more reserves of canned goods, such as the larger glove compartment behind the turret of the tank, which is full of canned beans for travel.

Compared to the popular canned meat, canned beans are a bit of a chicken rib. After all, this thing tastes average, and can only be used as something to satisfy hunger.

"Eat your canned meat, there's only so much left for you." Karjus smiled and said to his artillery commander Tyre.

"The replenishment convoy of shells was lost...... The battalion headquarters is looking for it. Joseph, an electromechanical officer who went to the battalion headquarters for a meeting, looked a little lonely, and as he walked over, he opened his mouth to talk about the content of the meeting.

Nowadays, the mechanics are idle, at least on the Leopard C tank, the mechanics are almost useless.

So, in order to make up for the sad consequences of the equipment improvement, all the mechanical and electrical personnel have a lot more daily work.

For example, instead of the commander to the battalion headquarters to deal with meetings, for example, to carry out combat missions to accompany the commander to go out for reconnaissance, and so on.

Because with these tasks, at least it won't make the electromechanical staff too boring. Fortunately, there are not many combat units that have replaced the C-type Leopard tank, so this phenomenon has not yet become widespread.

yes, it's not widespread yet...... If the Leopard C tank is really popularized to the entire German army in the future, then with the improvement of the reliability of electromechanical equipment, the electromechanical personnel will eventually go down the stage of history.

However, at present, at least the 505 heavy tank destroyer battalion's response plan is to train mechanical and electrical officers to become general personnel such as deputy commanders.

"The replenishment convoy has lost ...... again," said William, the loader who was sitting on the turret in the shade, fanning himself with his hat.

Because there is still confusion in command from time to time, it is a common occurrence for a unit to lose some people.

Not to mention the logistics department, it is not uncommon for a tank to be lost while running.

The battalion commander discovers that his battalion is gone, and when his battalion stops to rest, he will also be horrified to find that their battalion headquarters has not followed......

Comparatively speaking, losing a few trucks transporting ammunition is really not worth making a fuss.

"How are the follow-up training subjects decided?" Sure enough, Karyus did not care about the loss of the logistics convoy.

Since he still had plenty of shells on his tank, he didn't need those lost transports for the time being.

"The target has been chosen, three rounds of live ammunition are fired, and the artillery aiming system of our tank has been adjusted!" Joseph, an electromechanical worker who went to the meeting, replied.

Karjus nodded, understanding what Joseph meant. At the time of leaving the factory, all the tanks, artillery and sighting devices were actually adjusted, and the inspection of the grassroots troops was completely just a habit.

"Then prepare and do what the training requires!" After nodding his head, he said to Joseph, "You have something to eat, and we can go at any time!" ”

"Okay! After I've eaten, we can go to the training area, and I heard that there are still infantry brothers to watch, so we need to put on a good show. Joseph replied with a smile.
