Chapter 511: So big

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The vast Ukrainian plains have always been rich and beautiful, but at this moment it was destroyed by the flames of war, smoke was everywhere, and the horse-drawn carriages and refugees were stranded on the roads, crowded with the retreating Soviet Red Army.
Over their heads, from time to time, German fighter planes flew over, these planes were running out of fuel or ammunition before returning. In most cases, they will turn a blind eye to these low-value Soviet targets. After all, Soviet targets are too many. Now, it is not that there is no opportunity to bomb, but that it cannot be bombed at all.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, he pouted at the German fighter flying farther and farther in the sky. Renn jumped from the turret of the Tiger tank, leaned against the turret and looked at Alice, who was wiping the heading machine gun.
It has to be said that after three years in the army, the sow race Diao Chan. Looking at Alice's delicate buttocks wrapped in military uniform pants, Ren took a lot of effort before moving away. He threw the bread in his hand into his mouth, then unscrewed the lid of the kettle and took a sip of cold boiling water before calming his restless body.
A German scout on a motorcycle with an iron badge on his chest passed the tiger tank of Rennes and stopped to salute Rennes: "Sir! The nearby Soviet troops are retreating in the direction of Kiev , I and other scouts did not find the enemy tank. "
Ren nodded, then opened the storage compartment behind the tank turret politely, took out a box of cans and threw them to the dusty scout under the tank, thanking him for the information he provided: "Thank you! You guys. "
This is the way to get along in the army. From time to time send something to these scouts, they will work harder during the investigation. Sometimes early warning and intelligence a few minutes in advance can avoid some fatal mistakes. Make fewer mistakes or try not to make mistakes, this is the secret of survival on the battlefield.
The vast Ukrainian plains stretched the German troops, and Rennes ’502 heavy tank destroyer battalion was now torn apart. The battalion and company 2 are 3 kilometers away, and company 3 is about 5 kilometers away on their flanks. Now, the company where Rennes is located has also been divided into three units, and they are discarded everywhere.
On the road very close to Kiev, the tank 114 was left behind due to a mechanical failure caused by a clogged oil line. In order to hurry up to the village, the tank 111 was ordered to stay behind to cover the dropped 114. So as the commander of 1 company and 1 row, Rennes now has only 3 tanks in his hands to fight.
Of course, along with them were the Grenadiers of the 1st Battalion, 1st Battalion, 2nd Company of the 3rd Panzer Division of the SS. These soldiers were responsible for the investigation and cover work. It was precisely because of these grenadiers who had been working hard. Men, Rain dared to kill the village where they are now.
An hour ago, the Grenadier discovered the Soviet collapsed soldiers behind them near the village, so Marcus ’s 112 car took the initiative to take the No. 115 tank to cover 40 infantrymen to intercept-they were on the way I have done this no less than five times, and each time I have had unexpected gains.
The Grenadiers captured at least 1,000 Soviet collapses along the way, almost 10 times their number. About 20 soldiers escorted the captives back to the regimental camp behind them, so the grenadier was not fully occupied now, only about 80 soldiers.
Therefore, there are only about 40 German infantry left near Rennes. Excluding the mortars, communications, and messy non-combatants, there are not 30 that can fight. The unit was also recuperating, leaning against the outer wall of the building in the village, and fell asleep because of fatigue.
They were so tired that they had not had a good rest for four consecutive days. These German soldiers put on their raincoats and various warm-keeping equipment, and then they lay on the ground like this, causing the sound of snoring. .
Bruce and Andre are also sleeping, and they are also very tired. Although they are not walking on their feet, they should really take a break these days. Because the two of them were snoring loudly in the tank, this made Alice unable to bear the noise, and also embarrassed to sleep in the car and came out to wipe the machine gun. It must be more desperate than the engine, is it the snore of a few big-footed big men?
The more advanced weapons, the more high-quality soldiers are required to maintain and maintain them, so that they can play the role of advanced weapons and equipment in combat. Don't underestimate every military technological revolution, every such development marks a steady improvement in the quality of the grassroots of the military.
If there is only one rifle, then the soldier needs to disassemble and clean the rifle frequently, and then maintain and oil it. But what if it's a motorcycle? That requires soldiers to inflate the motorcycle tires, add lubricating oil, or even repair some simple mechanical failures by themselves.
Do n’t think that Bruce is responsible for loading Andre with shells. He is still a maintenance worker who can open the engine compartment of the tank, clean the oil circuit and the filter. Some minor faults on the tank are maintained and repaired by him. Including replacing tanks with heavily worn tracks and load wheels.
Of course, Bowman is not just a driver. He also needs to repair and maintain the engine of the tank. He is familiar with the engine of the Tiger tank to an outrageous degree. With the vibration of the engine and the sound of the rotation, he can judge What went wrong.
And Ren ... well, he is the only captain who is only responsible for murder. Now he is eating to replenish his strength, because on the way to the village, he reminded Andre to sleep for two hours on the shaking tank.
He simply took out the newly drawn nearby map and carefully confirmed the surrounding environment. The local Ukrainians disliked the oppression of the Soviet Union, so they welcomed the arrival of the Germans. Their cooperative attitude relieved the Germans a lot of pressure. For example, the map on Rennes ’s hand was made by a local Ukrainian local on the German military map.
Because the area is too vast, the Germans have been carefully planned and prepared, but they still cannot grasp all the tactical maps in the Soviet Union. With the opportunity to help the Soviet Union build railways, the Germans were able to map tactical maps of some important areas along the Soviet railways, but drawings in other remote areas were suspected of being indiscriminate.
However, with the help of locals, Rennes' map is still marked with a lot of useful information. For example, some woods and hills are roughly located, and the nearby villages are in which direction and how far. The information provided by these locals is indeed more than the road standard. I have to regret that the Soviet Union ’s infrastructure is more than a little worse than that of European countries.
Some of the secondary roads marked on the map are actually small, bumpy dirt roads. If you follow the original map, German tanks and trucks are now estimated to be crowded in the Ukrainian border area in eastern Poland. Under the guidance of some voluntary guides and locals, the Germans barely completed the seemingly simple task of marching.
Rennes ’troops are now about 4 kilometers further south. This is a small town that spans a small river about 10 meters wide and is a relatively famous place nearby. Soviet troops should be gathering in that small town, and if there is no accident, the occupation there will almost open up the main road to Kiev.
The vast plains are an excellent fighting environment for armored forces. Rennes was sure to kill the Soviet troops that were blocking him in the plains and approached the town. He also needs to confirm it, and ask the company commander of the grenadier who followed him, whether he is sure to bring dozens of soldiers, and then go to capture a strategic location.
"What are you thinking?" Alice finished wiping the machine gun, oiled some parts of the machine gun, and found a water source nearby to wash her hands. Then she flicked her hand and asked Rennes while standing beside the tank with a smile.
"It's nothing." Ren closed the map, carefully put it in his map bag, and then pointed to the place where the smoke was far away, and began to answer: "We may go there a little later, it is estimated that there is a fierce battle."
Alice nodded and reminded: "In the morning, the battalion called and said that the ammunition supply was delayed, so we need to save some ammunition now ... Machine gun bullets are OK, we are normal from the shells It ’s 20 fewer shots. "
Machine gun bullets are indeed not lacking. When he left the camp a few days ago, Ren took more rounds of 1,000 bullets in one breath with the familiar face of the master of the logistics department, so their machine gun ammunition was very sufficient. However, the shells are not so lucky, after all, there is no way to safely insert dozens of shells in the tank.
It happened that there were two encounters with Soviet tanks on the way, and Rennes's tanks fired almost twenty guns. As a result, there are now only 50 shells in Rennes ’tanks. If not counting grenades, the number of armor-piercing shells is smaller.
"When the camp supplies are delivered, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow evening." Ren said with a sigh. He knows how chaotic the supplies are near the battlefield. In most cases, it is the platoon-level commander Zhang Luo himself. The more modern the war, the larger the scale of such supplies.
"The Soviet Union is so big. I saw it with my own eyes. It turned out to be so big." Alice leaned against the tank and sighed. While talking, she stretched out her arms as if she wanted to embrace the whole world: Poland, the distance we are going now is estimated to have reached Warsaw, but we are still far away from Moscow. "
"Guru." Ren swallowed a sip of water and looked away into the distance--it was so big ...
