The decisive battle against the Third Reich

That night, the First Infantry Regiment set off under the leadership of Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan.

The focus of the First Infantry Regiment at this time is of course not the First Infantry Regiment, but the ME63 they carry with them.

For this reason, Qin Chuan also reorganized the troops... In fact, Qin Chuan was reluctant to do this, because the reorganization would disrupt the tacit understanding reached during rappelling training and operations of the 1st Infantry Regiment to some extent.

The problem is that the team members suitable to be operators are always inconsistent. That is, sometimes there is no operator in a platoon, while some platoons have five, six or even more operators.

In addition, due to combat attrition and recruitment, some platoons have too few people to form three ME63 groups (8 people per group), and some platoons have too many people.

As a last resort, Qin Chuan could only rest and reorganize the troops on a small scale, mobilize and replenish what was needed, and then conduct several trainings to let them get familiar with their new comrades.

Fortunately, the German soldiers did it quickly. One of the reasons is that they were originally soldiers from the same regiment and were no strangers to each other. At the same time, they received basically the same training. Except for the new recruits who were added to the army not long ago, the others You can adapt quickly.

The traffic on the front line was exactly what General Holt thought. Although the highway was under the control of the German army, it was never smooth... Artillery shells continued to explode in the direction of the highway in the distance, and there were none, although the hit rate was very high. Low but occasionally a few shells would hit the middle of the road.

This made the car sway all the way, and sometimes it had to stop and find another way around because some of the craters were so big that they would not be repaired for a while.

Occasionally, intensive gunfire can be heard in the car, and sometimes a few bullets will make several bullet holes in the canvas... That is the Soviet army taking advantage of the darkness to harass the German army's logistics, but because the German army controlled Barbed wire fences were pulled up and mines were laid on nearby highlands, and searchlights were installed to suppress firepower, so that these harassments could not effectively threaten normal transportation.

However, I still heard that someone was shot, because Qin Chuan received the report that two soldiers of the second company were hit by stray bullets, one was killed on the spot and the other was slightly injured.

Coincidentally, these two were also controllers, which instantly rendered an ME63 team useless. Qinchuan could only use the two ME63s carried by this team as backup ammunition.

The whole journey was only 11 kilometers, and the troops marched for more than an hour to arrive.

After arriving at the front line, it was even more of a lively scene. Artillery shells exploded nearby from time to time. From the whistling sound, you could clearly tell that some of them were mortars and some were howitzers. In other words, these shells were completely produced by the Soviets. The targets were fired at random... The German army also did this at night. The purpose was to prevent the opponent from having a good night's sleep, and maybe any shell would hit a dead mouse and explode.

"Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel!" A staff officer came out of the darkness with several guards. He reminded Colonel Slaine and Qin Chuan: "You'd better order your subordinates to move down the equipment immediately and put the car away." Drive somewhere else, otherwise this place will be covered by Soviet artillery fire soon!"

In fact, there is no need for the staff to remind them. The soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment are already doing this... They are all veterans and know when to do what, and there can be no delay at all.

The staff officer led Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan into the traffic trench, and then turned left and right in the traffic trench... After a while, Qin Chuan, who had no strong sense of direction, felt a little dizzy.

In fact, we can't blame Qin Chuan. It would be fine if we were walking on the ground. Everything in the trenches was almost the same. Apart from soil, it was still soil. The whole thing was like a maze. Occasionally, a few wounded soldiers would be seen, but they would be moved to other places quickly and could not be used as a reference to remember the terrain, not to mention it was still at night.

Therefore, the first thing that soldiers who have just entered the battlefield need to do is to become familiar with the trenches, otherwise they will not know where to run even if they escape.

The two of them were taken into a civil fortification. As soon as they smelled the stench inside, they knew that the fortification was left by the Soviets... Germans are generally more hygienic, and it is impossible for them to destroy the fortifications in one or two days. It smelled so bad and smelled like vodka.

After passing through several layers of black cloth, I saw the dim light of the kerosene lamp inside. General Strike and Colonel Albridge were discussing something over a map inside.

Seeing Colonel Slain and Qin Chuan come in, General Strike waved to the two to signal them to approach, and then asked worriedly: "I'm glad you arrived in time, Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel. I asked them for help... In fact, it was General Rauchette who asked for reinforcements, and he told me that our reinforcements were the 1st Infantry Regiment?"

General Strike also didn't know the existence of ME63, so he was full of doubts when he said these words.

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan replied.

"This is ridiculous!" General Strike said: "Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel... This is not my disdain for the 1st Infantry Regiment, but how could they do this? The 1st Infantry Regiment was originally my unit, and But they have my troops to deal with me!"

Colonel Olbridge explained helplessly: "Lieutenant Colonel, the enemy has mobilized a tank corps to intercept us. This is an elite tank corps and has many more T34 tanks than we do!"

"I know, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

"So, here we are!" Colonel Slaine replied.

"But..." Colonel Olbridge said in confusion: "What we need are tanks and troops!"

Colonel Slain shrugged and said, "Let the lieutenant colonel explain this matter!"

General Strike and Colonel Albridge cast doubtful eyes on Qin Chuan.

"Let's put it this way!" Qin Chuan explained: "We have a new weapon that can destroy enemy tanks at a distance of one thousand meters or more!"

General Strike and Colonel Albridge looked at each other, but they still didn't understand.

"This is not a new weapon, Lieutenant Colonel!" Colonel Olbridge said: "We have a lot of equipment that can destroy enemy tanks at a distance of one thousand meters or more, such as the 88 gun..."

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said, "I'm talking about individual weapons!"

"Individual weapons?!"

General Strike and Colonel Albridge exclaimed.

They all came from the battlefield, and of course they knew that it would be a big deal if certain equipment could reach the level of "individual weapons", because it means cheapness and large-scale.
