Chapter 273: Question
At breakfast time, Trode somewhat absentmindedly filled his mouth with something he didn't know - no matter what, he was stuffed into his mouth and chewed and swallowed twice, the taste or something, but he couldn't care about it at all.
"Still thinking about that?" Roy sat next to Trode with bread, they were sitting around a round table in this room, the other three had finished eating and went out to sort out their equipment, only Trode and Roy were left in the room, looking at Troud who had been stunned, Roy took the initiative to go up and talk, but Tlaude's reaction was not big, just a soft "um" sound.
Luo Yi also put on a puzzled expression and said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange, and I don't have any definite ideas. ”
Roy's words made Tello very interested, and turned his head and asked, "Then you still have an idea?" ”
"Forget it, there's no rush in this matter." Roy waved his hand and said, "The main thing is that I don't want you to have preconceived ideas, that will only narrow our thinking." ”
"It's fine." Trode sighed and continued to eat his stuff.
The incident that made these two people so entangled happened last night, and it was also the late night of the first day that Trood and Derek's team came here to officially fight.
The Germans, who had laid out a tight defense, engaged in a night battle with the Soviet troops who came to sneak attack. Although both sides seem to have used 12% of their strength to fight, no matter which side, the results are pitiful. Let's talk about the Soviets first, at the beginning, they sniped at two guards on the periphery, causing one dead and one wounded, and later wounded two more, but they were only slightly injured. And the Germans, with great effort, still failed to catch the snipers of the Soviets, but that's it. They didn't get nothing either, they destroyed an enemy BT-7 fast tank, but that's where the problem came in
Because this tank was not destroyed by Trod when they were fighting with the enemy, but was broken with one shot at close range. They were blatantly turning on their headlights at night, and they were able to capture a BT-7 that was more than a grade faster than them. Even an untrained driver would not make such a low-level mistake. This is where the problem becomes apparent when Trode and they destroy him.
After subsequently stabilizing the situation, Trode and others took a closer look at the tank. Then I discovered another problem - there was no one in this tank!
Although it was dark, it was impossible to escape from the multiple encirclement of the tanks and infantry no matter which hatch they escaped from the tank and the Trouds. If it was really like what was written in some novels, they were superb in martial arts, and they killed a few inspectors quietly and were able to get out of trouble, it is impossible. Because apart from the four soldiers who were shot, there were no casualties, let alone deserters who had seen the enemy, that is. This BT-7, before they wrecked it in Trode, it didn't have any members inside!
If it were to be configured normally, the BT-7 would have three members inside. That is, the driver, gunner and commander of the part-time loader and communications corps. (In fact, due to lack of funds, many BT-7s are not equipped with radios, and only the captain's tank has such a configuration.) The leader communicates with other tanks, generally using the flag language. Therefore, for a tank with a small internal capacity and a small number of members, the work intensity and importance of the commander are quite large. )
Because that direction is in the daytime today, Derek has just carried out a mission, so this BT-7 could not have docked here in advance, the only point in time was last night. In the middle of the night, the three men drove the tank not far from the German position, and then dropped the tank and went to other places.
Although there is no basis for this, Trode's suspicion is that the Soviet snipers arrived here in this tank, and then they dispersed with the tank to carry out their mission. In the end, under the search of the Germans, the crew members of the tank chose to abandon the vehicle and flee with the target lowered, and the snipers probably saw the scene of Trod surrounding the tank, and chose to retreat on foot.
Although on the whole, this scrutiny is still more in line with the real situation, but there is still a doubt, that is, the performance of the BT-7.
Trode thought about it, if it were him, if he were driving a British 'Matilda' infantry tank or a French B1 heavy tank, he would undoubtedly choose to abandon the car and run away. And now the situation is that in front of them is a fast tank of the BT-7 type, which is known for its excellent maneuverability. With the lights off, you may run into some obstacles and slow down a bit when retreating, but in any case, it's much faster than walking.
It's puzzling that you would rather choose a slow and tiring way than abandon the tank. In order to solve this problem, Trood immediately contacted Hans, who was in charge of the garrison, and asked him to rush over and inspect the tank. Although Hans only has a set of theoretical knowledge about repairing tanks, which is sometimes difficult to use, if it is only for inspection, it is still completely coping.
After looking up and down, Hans initially estimated that there was no problem with the tank, and the position where they were hit by Trood was the turret and transmission, and other than that, there were no problems. However, for this situation, Hans said that there is another possibility, he said that the tank may not be able to start because of the low temperature, causing the enemy to abandon the car. At that time, there seemed to be nothing else to say, and Trode had to accept the reason, but now that I think about it, there are still a lot of things that don't make sense.
However, although there was no one in the tank, Trod destroyed an enemy tank at the cost of one dead and three wounded, and smashed an enemy's sneak attack plan, which was a sure deal. He also advised himself that at this time, he should not be as greedy as in Africa, and that being able to move forward step by step is what he needs to do most now.
Glancing at Roy, who was sitting next to him, Trode decided to put the issue on hold and prioritize today's battle plan (to be continued. )
