Chapter 349: Soldiers First
There is no nonsense, the battle is on the verge of breaking out. The tactic was simple, with the first squad opening an opening on the outside, and Trood covering the rapid withdrawal of the infantry. In fact, it is not difficult to withdraw from the base on this part of the road, the difficult thing is how to get rid of the enemy's pursuit on the plain, and still with infantry. However, this is not a problem at all for the captain of the first team, because the number of tanks is enough, and it is only necessary to find a gap for the infantry to ride the tanks, and they can escape smoothly, although the Soviet tanks have an advantage in speed, but if some situations come out, they probably do not dare to pursue.
Unlike Trode, the captain of the first team didn't talk much, although he was not cold, but he didn't contain any excited feelings, and the explanation of tactics was also neat, although he asked Trode if they had any problems, but it didn't seem to give them the slightest chance to raise objections, but Trode They didn't have any objections.
First of all, let's talk about the configuration of the first squad, as the most combat-ready squad, they have ten tanks, which is a bit more than most squads. Among them, the few in the 47th Division did not have a single one in this elite squad! Even if Anselm doesn't protect the calves, it is indisputable that he is equipped with the best equipment for the guards. And this legendary first squad, the strongest squad, can't even withstand Trode's A-level squad on the level of equipment.
The ten tanks are very uniform, they are all IV. H medium tanks, but they are also slightly different from Drana's H model, that is, the additional equipment mounted on their hulls and some steel plates that are obviously added by themselves, although they are all H models, but their state of arming to the teeth makes Trod feel ashamed, as tank crews, they seem to be ready to deal with all situations.
Thanks to the radio connection, Trode could clearly hear the first team leader's command and his team's answers. Although the instructions and answers were very fast, as if to save every second, they also found a little fun in it. It's just those jokes that make people listen to it a little scary, so that Trode can't laugh at all.
The actual situation is much easier than Trode they expected, although the first squad only has ten tanks, but the tear hole is indeed the size that only two squads can do, which also gives Trode them more space to retreat, for the initial plan of this operation, Trode did not have much to worry about, and the subsequent run is the main thing.
"You take the maximum number of infantry and retreat first, we cover, and the rest of the infantry will be handed over to us." The captain of the first team said: "Remember. Don't come back to meet us, this will only expose our true strength, and we will take care of the rest of the infantry ourselves, and you stay in the rear and prepare to ambush the troops pursued by the enemy. ”
Trode nodded, although this command ability does not sound too bright at first glance, but it tells a lot of details, and there is no superfluous nonsense to confuse the team's audio-visual and audio-visual skills, which belongs to the kind of situation where the most rare things are told in the simplest way. However, this place also has a word for Trode. Although on the overall level, Trode is definitely not able to catch up with others, but if you want to divide the situation, the 217 team has such an active atmosphere. It may be best to cooperate with Trode's command style, although there is a lot of nonsense, but it can also bring about an internal atmosphere, so as to improve combat effectiveness.
Due to the cover of the first squad. Trod and they tried to put the infantry on the tanks as much as possible, and almost every IV was stuffed with seven or eight people, but on the basis of ensuring that the IV tank could still fight. They were all very crowded, and even at Troude's request, they all lost their weapons.
At the beginning, they thought that Trod was crazy when he made this request, because weapons were the only tools they had signed up for on the battlefield, and it would be foolish to throw them away. But Trood yelled at them, "If we lose our guns, we'll be able to take a few more people out!" Even if you have a gun, if you can't get on the tank or because a gun fell off the tank, I think you're still alive?! ”
Although this sentence is unpleasant, it is a big truth, although the infantry present is uncomfortable to hear, but they are helpless, they have lost their equipment, and in the most space-saving state, they take the tank. Even so, in such a situation, there were about fifty people left who did not get on the tank.
They were instructed to hide behind the tanks of the first squad for the time being, not to get into the vehicle, and to keep a distance of half a vehicle from the tanks to avoid accidents. Squad 217 fished out of the exit torn open by the first squadron, and when they looked back, they realized that the Soviet troops that were about to flee had all pounced, and although the winding streets had more or less slowed down the troops in their base, the troops on both flanks were already in sight.
"Take care ......"
Trood thought in his mind. Just now, after a battle between heaven and man, Trode's heart finally made a suggestion - Team 217 would take Anselm to evacuate first. This is not an excessive request, nor is it a shame for Anselm, the division commander, this is the most superficial problem for the sake of the boss as a subordinate. However, to Trode's surprise, Anselm did not hesitate and rejected Trode's proposal for no other reason - he had absolute confidence in the first squad.
Since the order was given, and the division commander himself had his own will, it was difficult for Trode to say anything. Perhaps keeping his mouth shut now and conscientiously carrying out the tasks assigned to him is the best answer for the first team and Anselm.
Covering the 217 squad, the first squad also fought and retreated, but this retreat speed was completely incomparable to the enemy's advancing speed. At this time, Trode remembered something that had been forgotten for a long time, and he immediately called two Grilles, which had been hidden from the beginning of the battle, and instructed them to strike at once the enemy's advancing position.
It didn't take long for Trode and them to reach a safe position, and when Trode told the tank squad over there that there was his division commander, all the infantry present were stared, none of them expected that the commander of the 47th Division, who was somewhat famous, would be such a monster......
