In fact, the importance of these positions was only average, and the order Trod received was not to hold the position, if the enemy forces pounced, they only had to retreat.

But

Now the situation did not allow them to do so—on either flank of their position at Trood, there were two small subordinate positions, which were flanking and rear of the main position. Generally speaking, as long as the enemy is attacking, this main position should bear the brunt, and it does not make much sense to spend a lot of troops to attack the positions on both sides.

This time the situation should be the exception of the exception, there are a large number of enemies in front of each position, such an attack is obviously a bit wasteful, but this is also on the surface, in fact, the three positions were not attacked at the same time, the positions on both sides were obviously later, this small difference, it had a huge change for Trood.

In short, if all three positions were attacked at the same time, everyone could safely retreat, positions were not the first priority, and the integrity of the troops was the first priority in this operation. But in the current situation, the main position has already received the enemy, there is no way to retreat safely, and the removal of the positions on the two flanks will only make the main position surrounded by the enemy, plus the enemy's numerical superiority, and it is possible to be completely eaten in the end. But if they are not removed, the positions on both sides may suffer a devastating blow, and they will be quite weak in the face of the enemy's large forces, as long as the enemy's tanks and infantry are pushed in front of them, it will be the moment of complete defeat.

However, Trood was a little more relaxed in the fact that the main position and the two subsidiary positions actually had their own armored forces. However, after receiving the order that Trode and their troops were to come to support, considering the combat effectiveness of their squad, they dispersed the armored forces on the main position to the auxiliary positions on both sides, so the situation was not bad enough for Trode and his two tanks to be in charge, which was a blessing in misfortune.

And not long after, the artillerymen fired a second smoke grenade on the orders of the commander. However, this time the enemy was prepared, and the formation barely wavered, only slowing down the speed of the advance slightly, so as to stabilize the formation. But that would be enough for Trood. The moment the smoke cleared, the four pilots immediately used all their strength to pull the lever, and the four IV tanks retreated at the same time, quickly leaving the pit that guarded them. They did not have time to turn at all, and under the guidance of the commander, they reversed directly into the center of the position, completely hiding their traces from the enemy.

It didn't take long. Four tanks and four trucks had been assembled, waiting for the last cover of the artillerymen.

"Toot! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! ”

With the distinctive sound of the rockets, two groups of twelve smoke grenades fell in front of the enemy again, and they were tired of the repetitive actions of the Germans, and they even began to wonder if the Germans really only had smoke grenades.

But what they didn't know was that behind this position, two teams of men and horses had been dragged out of the position, advancing at great speed in both directions. Although they left in opposite directions, their purpose was exactly the same. In order to keep their teammates as much as possible, for their common future!

Eyes returned to the position, since the withdrawal of Trood, Hans had taken over the defenses of this side. Although Hans also often worked out tactics in the squad. But it has to be said that Hans's leadership ability is not very strong, and his tactical advancement cannot make up for his lack of ability to lead the team.

However, Trood was able to hand over the team to Hans without worry, precisely because he also had a reliable deputy - Marcus. Although these two have very few partners. But Trood had to make sure that the two teams he sent out had enough combat power, so he could only let them cooperate for a while. Although the 'Tiger' is invincible, the speed alone is enough to pass it, and the IV is a tank destroyer. It is good to use it to defend the position, but the specific situation of Trod is not clear, and the use of the destroyer is too limited, and it cannot be rashly dispatched.

On the other hand, the two groups that went out to reinforce them, not to mention their combat effectiveness for the time being, their degree of compatibility is definitely the highest in the 217 squad. With the same equipment, when it is well coordinated, the combat effectiveness will naturally increase. Whether it's Trode and Alicia, or Vincent and Leona, after these months of cooperation, although they can't do it to the extent of their hearts, there is no doubt that they can play a perfect combination attack.

Looking at the smoke in front of him, Marcus said over the radio, "I think we need to give them a look and let them see if we really have the goods." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to the position commander." Although Hans was ordered by Trood to lead the team, and now that Marcus seems to be the conductor, Hans has become a microphone. But Hans didn't mind this at all, on the one hand, because in this chaotic situation, Marcus was more calm than him, and on the other hand, and most importantly, because Hans was quite lacking in this kind of psychological tactics, and Hans couldn't ask for such an opportunity to learn from others.

After a while, Hans had finished communicating with the infantry position, and they agreed to this method. Although this distance is not the best distance to fire, and without Trood, the firepower on this side is also a bit scarce, and the rockets must be used at critical moments. But even with all these reasons, they need to use rockets now, because they have to give a "reasonable explanation" to the enemy on the opposite side after using smoke bombs three times in a row.

"Toot! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! ”

After the artillerymen activated the electric switch, the distinctive voice sounded again. Since the enemy had just tightened his formation due to smoke bombs, the bombardment was quite effective. Although the high-explosive shells fired by rocket artillery are hardly of much of an impact on the enemy's armored units, they are completely lethal to the enemy's infantry.

Twelve 150mm rockets fell in one place, and the shock wave and shrunnel from the explosion knocked down a large area of infantry, although most of the injuries were not fatal, but the psychological blow to the enemy was not discounted at all! (To be continued.) )
