Ukraine, March 1966.

The German vanguard of armored troops had entered Ukraine. Now, what they needed was to quickly stabilize the situation in Ukraine and help General Korkorok and his Ukrainian army defeat the Russian attack.

This is not an easy task. After all, the German army entering Ukraine is still too little.

As the pioneer part of the entire army, the "Lovezer Tank Group" rushed to the forefront, and they will undertake the task of fighting together with the Ukrainian army and a small number of German infantry.

Nochil witnessed the most intense battle in his life, but definitely the most unforgettable. His life may never forget this experience in Ukraine.

When the battle broke out, Nochil had never seen such a scene. In his impression, the battle scenes were only one-sided. That kind of battle without any suspense would have to pay a lot of money! The German army could defeat or even destroy the enemy!

Now, what stunned Nochil was that almost instantly the German army lost almost unmeasurable soldiers! They were either pierced by precision gun bullets shot from unknown directions, or torn their limbs and ** by a powerful explosion.

However, the grenadiers showed no signs of collapse, although they had already lost enough comrades in the first time!

They are well-trained! Yes, they are highly qualified officers and soldiers of the German Army!

The combat formation quickly moved open, and at least one infantry squad of grenadiers regarded the chariots they were driving as life-saving straws. The dense rain of bullets that were enough to kill their lives hit the vehicle body violently. Nocher closed the turret cover above his head! He didn't want to be the target, although the space inside the vehicle was already very narrow. But he also wanted to save his life!

The companions in the tank were busy all the time. Bodilla was helping Schmidt work together to load a 50mm shell into the barrel, and it was dark outside. Even if he used the back of his head, he could tell what was going on.

Bodilla raised his hands and held the headset clamped against his ears, receiving the instructions given by tank commander Klaus.

Lamel shook the turret with all his might. Nochil was observing carefully! At least they had to see the target and aim at the target before firing! Nochil lowered his head and found that the mg62-joining machine gun was unattended.

Norcher shouted: "Schmidt! Go and watch over that machine gun!"

Nocher knew that the main firepower of the chariot was more than one 50mm main gun. If that alone, the chariot would not be able to effectively deal with the threat of enemy infantry! Schmidt did not execute Norcher's orders, but the gunner Hans was operating the powerful machine gun. In Nocher's opinion, it was the same for them to go! Just ensure that their "098" tank can exert its maximum firepower!

But where is the target? It is in chaos everywhere! Some soldiers are running wildly towards the deserted farmland on the right, while more are crawling and squatting on the ground, holding their heads and guns up! Raising their guns? Nochil found from the periscope that many grenadiers were shooting the high slope on the left with their rifles. On top?

The turret rotated, and Nochil finally found his target. This is also the first battle that Nochil started when he came to Ukraine!

The Russians had a strong firepower, and although they did not have any heavy weapons, they were condescending. Just using some submachine guns and grenades was enough to kill the crowded and uncovered Wehrmacht soldiers.

The rapid sound of pile driving and the large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets almost tore the grenadiers who could only rely on military uniforms to protect the ***.

A heavy machine gun slaughtered the grenadiers with a firing rate of ten shots per second at the direction of ten shots per second. A row of fan-shaped straggling columns were more than one meter high all over the road. From time to time, there were soldiers who were shot and fell to the ground. They were so exposed!

The grenadiers who were shot but did not die were screaming in pain and asked for help. The medical soldiers fulfilled their responsibilities and they had to treat the wounded! However, the Russians did not abide by the so-called international law at all. Several medical soldiers who appeared in Norchir's vision, Norchir watched them pierced by the Russian rifle.

Now, they have become wounded soldiers who need to be treated, with some sarcastic meanings...

Norchir found the target of "098"! The life-threatening heavy machine gun must stop being hustle and bustle.

Several squads of grenadiers attempted to attack the high slope from multiple directions to occupy the high ground, but the firepower of the heavy machine gun made them unable to continue moving forward at all. They even had to retreat to reduce casualties. After dropping a few bodies that were sieve, the remaining surviving soldiers rolled back to the starting point of the road. More people sought asylum. Obviously, the "098" tank also became their first choice! However! A powerful mortar shell landed less than two meters away from the "098" tank. Nocher even heard the screams from the outside in the car!

The muzzle was raised, and they had to do something! The continuous casualties had already made the entire unit in order so chaotic.

Hans was shooting wildly with the mg62-joint machine gun. Due to the narrow shooting range, Nochil found it difficult to convince himself that he had shot enough Russians. In fact, that was not even fire suppression! The Russians did not intend to launch a charge! They just allowed the terrain to exert their advantage. The casualties of the German army were already difficult to control!

"Ten o'clock direction! High-explosive grenade! Prepare!" Nochil used his periscope to make sure that the shell was unlikely to be wasted if it was fired...

"Fire!" Nocher felt the shaking of the car! Schmidt pulled the hot shell out of the barrel and then threw it out along the gap on the side of the turret. Useless things would only occupy the already crowded space of the German army.

The result disappointed Nochil!

The huge air waves generated by the bomb explosion brought two of the three Russian soldiers operating the heavy machine gun from behind the bunker to outside the bunker. They were soon hit by the dense rain of bullets fired by the Wehrmacht grenades aimed at firing. The heavy machine gun was still roaring.

There were dozens of grenadier corpses placed on the road, with four horizontal and eight forks. At least half of them were masterpieces of heavy machine guns!

Norchir was completely angry: "Recharge!"

He had no need to think about so much. Schmidt had already loaded the shells. Norchir was about to order him to open fire again, but was interrupted by Bodilla.

Bodilla calmly observed the situation on the battlefield: "The muzzle is up to 5 degrees and is firing!"

Nochil was surprised. He raised the 5 degrees and what to do? Then the shells would not be able to successfully fall into the Russian bunker! What effect would it be? Nochil did not refute the advice given by Bodilla. Lamel did as Bodilla said and raised the muzzle! And Nochil's mission was just a order.

The second shell roared out! The light smoke at the muzzle had not yet dissipated. With several meters of earth pillars rising from the slope a hundred meters away, Nocher clearly saw the heavy machine gun that had already scattered in his periscope...

It finally became quiet!

Without the suppression of continuous firepower, the advance troops equipped with flamethrowers attacked the high slopes, flames, submachine guns! Grenades! There was basically no mission of the German armored troops next.

Due to the ambush and heavy losses, the entire team had to rest on the spot.

On that death road, the German army lost more than fifty people! They have not even encountered the Russian main force in the true sense! This is not good news.

Norchir and his companions drove the "098" and turned off the highway. They no longer thought that the highway was safe.

The exhausted grenadiers gathered together in groups of three or three, smoking cigarettes and chatting. Some people covered their faces with their hands and cried, while more people were taking advantage of this rare free time to take a nap.

Nocher pulled out a cigarette, held it at his mouth, and reached out to grop on his body. Strange! Where is the lighter? After almost a minute of flipping, he couldn't help but become impatient. The lighter appeared out of thin air and lit the cigarette in front of Nocher's mouth. This made him feel happy.

"It's better to eat some canned food and drink some water instead!" Bodilla raised the kettle and took a few sips on himself, and then gave it to Nochil, who did not take it. Because he was not thirsty and did not feel a trace of hunger.

Nocher whispered, "Maybe, you are right!" He leaned against the side track of the "098" tank, and the uneven wheels hurt his back. Bodilla stood up and leaned against the body of the car. He looked around. Nocher could see that he was not looking at the soldiers. Instead, he was looking for something.

Bodilla seemed to have not heard clearly: "What did you mean just now...what did you mean?" Nochil raised his head and stared at him with confusion. Do you really don't understand? Or do you pretend not to understand?

Nochel had to say honestly: "It's always a headache to fight with the Russians for the first time!"

Bodilla suddenly realized: "Well, it's better for you to get used to it! He is like a lunatic in the Russians, and the ones we meet are still quite gentle!"

Nochil likes his sense of humor! But at this time, Nochil can't laugh.

Norchir sighed: "I have a premonition! Maybe our war will not go as smoothly as before!"

Bodilla shrugged at Nochil: "Maybe... we don't need to care about so many other things."

Nochil recalled the previous battle. The proposal given by Bodilla was really critical. His combat philosophy was completely different from Nochil. Nochil was more concise and would not have any bold imagination that would deviate from the laws of combat. But he was different! He was more inclined to focus! The focus of the battle just now was to completely destroy the heavy machine gun rather than kill the Russian soldiers operating the machine gun!

Bodilla pointed at the opposite side: "Look at that Leopard 9! Tsk tsk tsk...if that was ours..."

Norchir was looking for the tank he mentioned, oh, Klaus's "Leopard 9" and didn't see him having any record just now. He just fired a few symbolically, and it seemed that the record of his "Destroyer 3" type was not as important as that of his "Destroyer 3". At least they knocked off the annoying heavy machine gun.

The Germans did not have enough time to rest. Although they were exhausted, the above commands came firmly and clearly! They must join the first assault cluster as quickly as possible. This is related to the victory or defeat of the entire battle!

Therefore, no matter those infantrymen who rely on their feet to marching, or the German armored soldiers who control heavy chariots, they cannot have enough time to rest in this temporarily peaceful area. No one will have no resentment, but they all learn to keep it in their hearts! The Germans have few advantages. But hard work is one of them.

The soldiers around them, who were in different postures, began to stand up one after another, and many of them were still staying next to the small river next to the woods and fields not far away. They bent and pressed the kettle in their hands into the water. The rivers were not clear, and Nocher was also a little worried about them. Will the cunning Russians poison the river?

Norchiel is just thinking about it! If he told Norchiel's ridiculous idea, he would be honored to be confined to a crime of spreading rumors and being detained.

Yes, everyone is working hard to fill the water bottle with you! They don’t know how many more ways they have to go!

Many soldiers began to return to the highway where there was a fierce battle just now. If the Germans wanted to shorten their trip, they had to go back to the place they didn't want to go back.

This time, the commander remembered the pain. It can be seen from the fact that he learned to send advance troops to explore the way! He sent a platoon of troops to clear the way for the large army. If there were two rounds like the previous ambush battle, then when the German troops arrived at their destination, the remaining combat power would not be satisfactory.

It has been a few minutes since the advance dispatch, and the German soldiers should set off!

The grenadiers who were reluctant to get up from the ground put on their helmets and put on guns, and returned to the road one by one.

Looking at Bodilla who was gradually approaching from not far away, Nochil knew what he was going to do. Before he started calling, Nochil had waved at him. He also understood Nochil's meaning. Then he turned around and ran to the "098" in the distance.

Norchier wanted to finish smoking the cigarette in his hand, but it would be a pity if he threw it away halfway.

Norchier was the last one to get into the cabin, and the four of them stared at him with their own eyes like eggs. Norchier naturally had no time to care about it. What prejudice did they have against themselves?

Bodilla shouted: "I just looked at the tracks, but fortunately it was not worn very seriously! There is no problem with getting us to the destination!"

Lamer looked at Bodilla in surprise, as if Bodilla had made a joke to everyone: "You are still doubting the workmanship of the 'Destroyer 3' tank?"

Nochel is still more inclined to Bodilla's words: "Remember! It's time to repair the tank! But I think we still have to fight until the last moment."

Lamel was not talking. However, Hans laughed alone: ​​"I went there just now and asked those machine gunmen for some bullets." After that, he patted the mg62 gun body: "Don't worry about ammunition!"

Everyone, including Norchier, laughed.

The engine of "098" was turned on, and it moved its bulky body. It drove back to the highway swaying. The large amount of smoke and dust created by the rotation of the track made the grenades without masks cover their mouths and noses! Nochil just imagine they must be cursing - breaking tanks!

The ambush on the highway was probably the only battle during this not-so-long march of the German army.

The German army arrived smoothly, and now, the strength of the First Assault Army has grown with their arrival! Thus, it has the ability to attack.

As the personnel increased, these reinforcements were reorganized into the third armored support platoon. What made Nochil happy was that he no longer had to obey the command of that bastard Klaus. However, other than that, there was no reason to make Nochil feel a little relieved.

They are new members of this army, but they do not get the long-awaited new equipment they deserve!

Along the way, Nochil, Bodilla and the other three were having a hot chat, and the Germans were randomly wondering what kind of powerful chariot they would get...

As a result, the above gave the German army a reason or excuse that the German army could not refute - the number of armored vehicles was seriously insufficient, and even if there was no time to repair it, Nochil's "Destroyer 3" tank would join the front line of battle.

Nocher's heart has begun to curse. Do they know the meaning of the saying "burying talents"? Nocher and his crew should drive the powerful "Leopard 9" style! Instead of this big guy who is almost unable to drive!

Nochel was full of grumbling, only Bodilla and the others were listening to Nochel yelling alone: ​​"Those bastards are raised! Why don't one of them send us a gun? Let's charge?"

Norchir's exposed anger made Bodilla and the others understand Norchir's fragile self-esteem. They didn't understand the kind of anger and shame that came from the heart.

In Nocher's heart, there is no tolerance for any injustice from others to him.

Bodilla and the others used any good words to persuade Nochil, who was already in sensible, but he became extremely difficult to reason because his anger covered his eyes. Yes, he wanted the best! He was unwilling to fall behind! But the reality is that they belonged to the tail of the crane in the armored warrior sequence!

Lamel said carefully: "No...not that bad, right?"

Nochil glared at Lamel and shook his head helplessly. Nochil raised his arm and pointed out the window of the dormitory: "You go out and take a look! The number of new types of war vehicles! Insufficient armor? Damn it! Find a convincing excuse!"

Nochil roared, but he didn't realize that he had been complaining all the time. Bodilla coughed twice, looked down at the floor, and then looked up at Nochil: "No, I think... we should have to obey..." Nochil and several other people looked at Bodilla who was reluctant to speak but stopped.

This time, they have a few days to rest and then...
Chapter completed!
