Chapter Seventy-Two: The Absolute Main Force (Part II)
The French panzers, who were about to deal a fatal blow to the Germans, were caught off guard, and the squad of four tanks scrapped three in an instant, and more importantly - by the time they first reacted, the three tanks were already loaded with the next shell
When the smoke cleared, the rescued infantrymen tried to express their gratitude, but when they looked back, they saw only tanks moving away. On top of the conning tower, a short-haired non-commissioned officer saluted them, silence was better than sound, and the infantry returned Vincent with a very standard military salute.
"Look for your next target." After Vincent's order, the three Medium Tank IV gradually disappeared into the night again, and who knows which hapless man will encounter them next?
Trood contacted the nearest troops and sought their help, but they made it clear that they would do their best to arrive, but the time was not guaranteed. Even so, Trode thinks the situation is settled. Although Trode's actions have somewhat regained some disadvantages, on the whole, the German army is still being pressed and beaten by the French troops with numerical superiority, not to mention that Trode and they are almost in the center of the battlefield now, and they are very grateful to have troops rushing to support.
"Our reinforcements are about to arrive, and each unit maintains the current defensive direction and begins to slowly expand the defensive radius, paying attention to supporting their teammates on the left and right during the process." Trood is now trying his best to make his squad stand firm and expand the chassis, there are many French troops here, but the combat ability is not high, Trode's squad has an absolute advantage in weapon strength.
However, Trood did not dare to stay here for long, the French should know that Batna's defenders did not have many armored troops, and now there were as many as 6 or 6 tanks in this area, which in their eyes could be said to be the most priority target at this stage.
With the paralyzed IV tank as the center, the other vehicles began to push outward. The MG34-T continued to strafe, the French infantry wailed and dodged, and the tanks with steel plates as defensive weapons did not dare to challenge the authority. But the French did not retreat too far, and always formed a complete encirclement, which gave Trode a great headache.
The French tried to find some breakthrough in Trode, but to no avail. Although the French attack was now almost unthreatening, Trood could see that the forces surrounding them were increasing little by little. It seems that it is not far from their general attack, or even to destroy themselves in one go
"Sir, we happened to come out with a few grenades this time." The voice was unfamiliar, and Trode didn't understand for a moment who was speaking, but Leona already knew something.
"What do you mean?" The first to respond was Leona, who heard the voice being the captain of one of his team's two D-models, and the one with the destroyed track.
"Don't be in a hurry, sir." The voice was calm, in stark contrast to Leona.
Leona could barely think now, and she said anxiously, "So what are you going to do?" We are about to expand our defensive line, and soon reinforcements will arrive, and we will be able to break through. ”
"I know, but there are too many French troops, and with the strength of our infantry, even if we can break through, the casualties will definitely be very large." He said lightly: "If this continues, we will never be able to break through." ”
"You don't have to worry about it, Chief Trood will definitely have a way." Leona now gave all her hope to Trode, hoping that he would immediately come up with a workable solution.
However, before Trood could speak, the commander had already spoken: "We can't let our teammates sacrifice so much because of the five of us, we have our own way"
"Don't!" Trode and Leona shouted almost at the same time, they had understood what the captain was going to say, but they could never agree to it.
But this did not seem to reach the ears of the commander, who only said in a calm but seemingly powerful voice: "We are glad to be fighting alongside you, and to be able to beat the French like this is something we never thought of before."
The commander choked up, and Trode could even hear his nose twitching, but he ignored the shouts of the others and continued: "In this operation, our 717 vehicles eliminated 1 French medium tank, 3 light tanks, 1 armored vehicle, and several infantry."
"Shut up! We still have a chance! Trode shouted, hoarse, but useless
"The 717 vehicle was accidentally destroyed by the enemy on the way to the mission, causing the vehicle to be unable to move, so much so that it dragged the entire squad into a difficult situation." The commander paused, and then the next voice could clearly hear him already crying, but he still tried to say: "After discussion among the crew members of the 717 car, we unanimously decided to blow ourselves up in line with the principle of swearing not to let the French be wiped out. ”
"Not allowed! That's an order! I won't allow you to do that! Trode's howl was so pale, but there was nothing else he could do at the moment.
"If there is an afterlife, we will still be comrades-in-arms!" The sentence seemed to come to an end, and after that, neither Trode nor Leona, or even everyone here, could no longer remember what they shouted, and all that echoed in their ears was the piercing sound of the fuse burning
"Hiss"
"Boom!"
Five seconds later, there was a muffled sound in the headphones, followed by a loud bang
In the center of the German armored forces, the ammunition rack of a medium tank IV D exploded, the turret fell into disuse, and billowing flames burst out of the vehicle
Trode used all his strength to hold himself back and didn't look back, he choked up a few times and said, "The whole team is ready to break through!" ”
"Yes!"
It was a common shout from everyone, loud enough to be deafening, but no one felt their ears tingle at this time, not because there was something wrong with their headphones, but because their ears were numb
