Chapter 49: Mutation
On the sun-scorched land, we divided into three squads to pursue the enemy, saying that we were pursuing, but in fact we did not have such a real feeling. There is no way around it, the enemy is no longer the British chariots we encountered in Tunisia, and if the chariots of the British are a mixture of fish and dragons, then the chariots of France are pure slow goods.
Because most of France was conquered soon after the start of the war, many of their weapons were still at the level of the late stage of the First World War, and they did not have advanced technology, and the production conditions were severely damaged. If it weren't for the help of the British allies, with their combat level in the North African theater, they would have been swept away by us long ago.
Alyssia's tank and I drove to their right, and of course we weren't stupid enough to swing our side armor straight at them, and we moved forward in an "S" shape at a high angle, firing non-stop. Although it is impossible to talk about accuracy in shooting in this way, there are still unlucky people in a large army like them.
We shot from the left and right rear to the middle, but we didn't make the mistake of hitting each other on the left and right, because with the exception of the two assault guns in the back, we were aiming at the rear of the enemy's head car. Each time we hit an enemy's engine, it causes chaos inside the enemy, slowing down in order to avoid a paralyzed vehicle, which is a good opportunity for us to hit the target.
"Won't they stop and fight us, these stupid pigs?" Nattle fired AP shells one after another, and in such a situation, he did not need to aim carefully at all, and there was no pressure as usual.
"They've been beaten stupid, how could they possibly come up with such a solution." Yorkson also voiced his opinion.
Roy laughed dryly and muttered, "I don't know if they've been beaten stupid, but even if they could come up with it, they wouldn't do it." ”
While driving the tank, Yorkson did not forget to glance at Roy and said, "Why?" ”
"Because they don't dare." This time it was I who answered him.
"They would have assembled to the west of the city, so they could hold the area until reinforcements arrived. Even then they had to break through, which proved that their reinforcements were far away, or that there were no reinforcements at all. I paused, swallowed my saliva and said, "When they first broke through, I was still a little skeptical, but seeing that they were so persistent in breaking through, even if they were under such firepower, they didn't retreat at all, which made me believe that they didn't have reinforcements at all!" ”
"Then are they stupid, how can they outrun us at their speed?" Nattle also raised questions.
Roy was also very patient to explain to him: "They are gambling, betting that we dare not chase." ”
I was also a little bored at this time, and then rushed to say: "They are betting that we believe they have reinforcements, they have so many people, we can't beat them for a while." If we chase too far, the danger will definitely increase, and it will be difficult for us to be ambushed or their reinforcements will arrive. ”
Yorkson also fully understood what we meant at this time: "That means that you are also here, but from now on, it seems that you have won the bet, and you have won a big one." ”
"You're right!" I clapped my hands and told him, "I'm going to eat a big one this time, eat them all!" ”
"Trode! They have action! I heard Hans shouting in my headphones.
I immediately looked over there and saw that they were turning the hull and bringing the already tight lineup closer together.
"They're going to defend to the death, and they're going to fight us to the end." Natl was happy that he would be able to aim more precisely.
"That doesn't seem right, Troll, the atmosphere is different." Roy's instincts have always been sensitive, and this forced me to value his feelings.
Even though I said that, I didn't feel anything: "What do you mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with their formation." ”
We also formed a surround formation, gradually closing in, and everything went according to plan, without any mistakes.
"Not good! Amphitri, Marcus, get out of here! Don't steer yet, just reverse! We've got you covered! "Roy gave them an order without going through me this time, no, it was more of a warning.
"Vincent, you are also steadily retreating, and join us to cover Amphitri's retreat." Roy said these words almost in one breath, gasping for several breaths in a row.
"Roy, what did you find, I think they are still holding on to the formation?" I asked softly, afraid of touching his already tense nerves.
"I think they should fight back, no, I'm sure." He looked back at me with a look of determination that made me believe him, knowing that I could revoke his orders at any moment. How ridiculous it is to risk letting the enemy run away because of one's feelings. However, I chose to trust him, and this is not only my trust in Roy's ability, because at this time, the safety of our team should be the first priority rather than the total annihilation of the enemy.
"Okay, I'm looking," I said before Vincent's voice came through the headphones: "They're calling!" Don't panic and go according to the plan. ”
We retreated steadily, and at the speed of Tank IV, we were reversing at a rate barely as fast as they were advancing, and if we wanted to escape, we had to reverse sideways and run as fast as we could.
However, there were also two III assault guns among us, and they were far less fast at reversing than us, and if they had steered hastily, their fragile rear armor would have been exposed, and it was hard to say that they would not have penetrated. And the result of being hit there is not a joke, in such a situation, if the engine catches fire, not to mention the tank, even the entire crew members will not escape the robbery.
At this time, it is especially important to ensure the retreat of the two assault guns, fortunately, Roy issued the order in advance, which gave us more than ten seconds to prepare, which is a dozen seconds to save lives! It was enough to allow us to pull away a distance of tens of meters, and most importantly, the tank's engine had an acceleration time of more than ten seconds, which gave us an advantage in speed compared to the French tank that had remained stationary until now.
Since there are so many excellent conditions, then I have to win this battle!
