Chapter 778: Old Photos

On a sunny day, the temperature has completely warmed up, at least during the day, it doesn't feel too cold, which is the best thing for the armored soldiers fighting in the 'iron box'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, even when the temperature warmed up, Andre and his team still added antifreeze to the tank's oil to reduce engine wear and failure. However, even if they do not use antifreeze, the performance of the tanks they use is much better than that of foreign German tanks, after all, in the past harsh winter, if the German tanks lacked lubricating oil and antifreeze, they were estimated to have frozen into a piece of iron.

"Bell!" Valentin kept knocking on the tank with a wrench, and he was listening for an echo from somewhere on the hull that wasn't quite right. Compared with the professional logistics maintenance of the German army, the way the Soviet tank troops checked for faults was still much rougher, which was also the reason why they were backward in the concept of tank warfare. Even if the level of equipment is not bad and the numbers are superior, it will be difficult for them to really defeat the armored forces of the German army.

"Crunch!" Valentin opened the hood and began to take a closer look at the V-2 engines they were equipped with to make sure there was nothing wrong with them before they went into battle.

And the V-2 engine in front of Valentin can be said to be the best one among the engines of tanks in various countries at that time. This is not blowing at all. Although the engine equipped with the German Tiger is much larger than the V-2 in terms of output horsepower, the volume is also much larger, and the space occupied will naturally increase. And most importantly, the speed of the German engine is generally too fast, and the Soviet army is much lower, and the Soviet engine has a clear advantage in this point. There are also features such as the use of gasoline and diesel, which also allow the engines of Soviet combat vehicles to be ahead of other countries.

However, the reason for the lead is by no means accidental. If there is no equal amount of effort, it is naturally impossible to have corresponding results, and this is the case with the engine of the Soviet army. It is not surprising that they naturally have an advantage in this regard unlike the German army, which is different from the direction of attention.

Since he was going to carry out a mission today, Valentin had already unloaded the external fuel tank early, after all, this kind of thing is only suitable for use during long-distance transfers, and it will become a small bomb in battle. And when it comes to long-distance transfers, when Andrei moved from Ukraine to the place where he was fighting with Trood, he took the railway, so there was no loss of vehicles. But from the last battlefield to here, it has been supported by the power of the tank itself.

In general, for a slightly longer transfer, the tank will be carried by train. This is not only efficient, saves energy, but also avoids losses during the transfer. But in many cases, either there are no railways available, or the railway transport is already full of loads, and it is simply impossible to transfer a large number of troops in a short time, so that some troops have to be transferred in their own way, and Andrei and their troops are coincidentally lined up on the train.

Along the way, Andrey's chariot was put to the test, and none of them were abandoned due to breakdowns on the road. Of course, this is also inseparable from Andre's careful maintenance. Compared to the T-34, what really worried Andrei was the two KV-1s, although one of them had frequent problems on the road, but fortunately he did not fall behind, and he stumbled along the way, and it was repaired in the next few days, and now it can also fight.

Walking to the side of the tank, Andrei looked up at the scratches on the tank, and then remembered how he took over the tank, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it turned out that the tank had spent so much time with him, and the enemy who fell under its main gun didn't know how many.

Although painting can cover some of the scratches, Andrei never deliberately does this, he just paints his tanks with the corresponding camouflage color according to different situations, so that he can also cover the traces of those battles. However, when you look closer, you can still find traces of these years.

Andrei didn't care about Valentin, who was still banging on the side, but climbed directly into the tank and went inside to check whether key props such as the radio were working properly. Although he will occasionally come to see the state of the tank in the past few days, after all, he is still resting after digging deeper, and some problems are likely to be invisible without fighting, and what Andre has to do is to make that kind of problem as little as possible.

He looked up and down, and accidentally saw an old black and white photo on his place, which was already a little blurry because of several creases, but the three people on the photo were still clearly recognizable. These three people are all smiling without exception, and the girl in the center is no longer smiling like that, and the people standing on both sides of her, although they still have smiles on their faces from time to time, how many smiles are there in their hearts?

"I'm sick! What do you want to do so much? Andrei couldn't help but start scolding himself, he put the photo back in its place and clung to it. And the existence of this photo, except for Andrei's crew members, no one knows about it, even Natalia doesn't know about it, otherwise she wouldn't have been so angry with Andrei before.

However, of course, this matter cannot all be blamed on Natalia's head, to a large extent, Andre, who did not show his sincerity like Natalia, actually has a greater responsibility. However, Andrei didn't have any feelings about it, and in his opinion, it wasn't a big deal to let Natalia vent. Of course, if Natalia was really angry and pulled out his gun, he didn't think about explaining, but he still didn't want to do that until then.

"And a loaf of bread here? It's Dennis, right? Andrei began to rummage around, digging out a lot of useless things, and throwing them all out of the tank.

"Hey! Andre! What are you doing! I'm going to use this stuff again! Perhaps something important was missing, Valentin began to shout outside, but Andrei didn't care about him, he continued to throw things, and the only thing that watched him do so was the old photo...... (To be continued.) )
