Battle of the Third Reich
v5 ~: 198th Breaking City (1)
"The second battalion and the seventh company of the Tenth Tank Regiment are on our right. There is only this hillside between us. ●⌒," Correspondent Stewans pressed the frequency hopping switch and began to try to contact his companions on other fixed channels. .
"We are going to be overtaken by them, sir." Lawwick shouted on the communication channel in the car.
"Is there any way, they are light-weight companies." Hank sat on the gunner's bench, holding the open handle of the armor cover of the side of the turret, and leaning on the side door observation slit to look out.
"The 38t runs fast? Well, it's faster than us." Rawick's words were a little helpless. The No. 4 was a medium tank, which was not known for its speed. The G type with armor and long tube artillery installed The weight of the car broke the historical record. Before changing to a new power system, forty yards was already her speed.
"Keep this speed, Rawick, and then go uphill again." Lieutenant Snyder tapped the larynx to remind the driver.
"From the map, it is less than five kilometers in the past to Landsauer Airport. Our goal in the morning is to reach this area." Lieutenant Snyder deflected his body and continued to discuss operations with the commander of the infantry company holding a large-scale map Program.
"Snyder, we should first occupy these blocks outside the airport, and then launch the assault from two directions. The intelligence given to me by the regiment shows that there are only more than 200 airmen, some militiamen, and two in this area. The company’s army airport guards have some light weapons and machine guns, and there is an air defense position on the east side of the airport." The infantry company commander is a young lieutenant who looks less than thirty years old and wears a rumpled field uniform , Wearing a dusty m35 steel helmet, the only decoration on the whole body is a second-level iron cross ribbon buckled on the lapel.
"Let’s not consider other issues first. Lieutenant Sauer. Look, after we cross the railway line, there is a residential community here. This is a must-go road. We only have to go through it. Otherwise we have to go around. It’s a very big circle. It’s an uphill road with a long ramp and a very obvious arc. This terrain is very suitable for ambushing our armored forces. Under that kind of environment, my tank has room to hide. No." Snyder pointed to the map to explain to the other party.
"My people will walk in front of you and let the infantry clean up this community. This is our strong point. At the critical time, you will provide fire support." Sauer crossed his legs. Leaning on the glove box at the back of the No. 4 turret, frowning and carefully looking at the map in his hand.
"Since this is the case, then there should be no problem. My tank will follow you as long as you maintain radio contact." Snyder grinned his elbow with his elbow.
Snyder's No. 4 tank company has become a star unit in the German army, and will even be watched by friendly officers and soldiers when the station is closed. Both soldiers and officers wanted to witness this legendary diving tank unit. Then, not only ordinary officers and soldiers, but also some senior commanders came over and asked for warmth, and asked Snyder about the performance of these magical equipment on the battlefield.
The record of the Type 4 g makes all the commanders of the armored troops feel eye-catching, and the performance parameters of this tank also make the tankers of other units envious. The headquarters has received a lot of reports from front-line officers, especially Guderian, who asked the headquarters to consider expanding the production of such tanks. Simultaneously eliminate all No. 1 and No. 2 in the army.
This coincided with Xu Jun’s plan. This head of state actually went further than Guderian. In his future elimination list, there is also a large number of tanks currently equipped in the German army. He put this A tank with awkward positioning is crossed out from the main equipment and classified as a reconnaissance vehicle.
Snyder's tank company has determined that after the battle, it will be expanded into a tank battalion, and Snyder will be promoted to become the first battalion commander. However, this has long been expected by everyone. If it wasn’t for Snyder’s tank company in the French campaign that he encountered heavy French tanks, he suffered heavy casualties. He should have been promoted in the military since the French campaign. In fact, these two No. 4 diving tank companies were trained by him in one hand. His current position is acting as commander of the brigade, which is essentially equivalent to a battalion officer.
At the end of the battle of Dover. Snyder's company has a strong record. The Snyder team alone added five wreck marks on the barrel. No matter what will happen in the end, at least one first-level Iron Cross medal will not run.
The suburbs of London are not a flat wilderness, because they are located in the estuary delta, surrounded by mounds 70 to 80 meters above sea level. The City of London was built against the Thames. Because of abundant water and suitable climate, humans have been nearby in ancient times.
From the Victorian period, because of the Industrial Revolution, the booming factory enterprises urgently needed a lot of labor, so a large number of foreigners and immigrants poured into the Greater London area. The city’s population began to explode, according to records in just a few In the past 30 years, the number of residents has increased by as much as fifteen times. At the peak, London has more than 8 million permanent residents.
Due to the influx of large numbers of immigrant populations, the living environment of urban residents has deteriorated rapidly, and many areas, especially the poor areas, have become almost unsuitable for human survival. At the same time, there are a lot of health and security problems, which eventually led to the middle class in the city began to move to the periphery of the city.
The wealthy middle class bought separate residences in these emerging communities on the outskirts. This is the Victorian spire that is now almost a symbol in wealthy communities on the outskirts of London. The rich don’t have to worry about traffic problems at all. The public carriage system has shortened the distance between the suburbs and the urban area. With the passage of time, such medium-to-high-end communities have sprung up in the suburbs and eventually developed into Snyder. In front of this huge city with a radius of 50 kilometers, one of the most famous human settlements in Europe.
"Ray-Ban or Lippon, how do you pronounce this word in English?" Rawick leaned over the driver's observation port and carefully distinguished the roadside sign.
"Don't worry about that, the left, the one on the left. Gold... what is gold?" Stewans shouted.
"Are you sure? You don't even know the word," Rawick retorted.
"Don't be noisy, there are only two ways here, you two throw coins." Hank started coaxing on the side.
"Well, Carl, you give me a coin."
"Sorry, sergeant, I didn't bring any change." The young loader shook his head vigorously, he wouldn't be fooled again.
"We're here, stop by the side and let the infantry pass first." Snyder issued an order to stop the subordinate Hu Ke.
"Remember Lieutenant, let your people pay attention to the window on the second floor, pay attention to the flower bed on the edge." Snyder stood on the command tower, he leaned out and shouted at the infantry company commander.
"Got it, lieutenant. You better let the two tanks follow us, don't get too close." Sauer's barrel truck stopped beside the tank, and he answered loudly in the co-pilot position.
The infantry company commander nodded at Snyder, then opened the door and jumped out of the car.
"A row of two shifts before the investigation, did you see the house with the green flag? Set up a machine gun fire point on it." Sauer battled on the sidewalk at the street, toward his three rows Long assignments.
"Corporal Rambo, you take a few people to see. This building has a good view. I want to set up a headquarters on the second floor." Sauer pointed to a second-floor apartment behind him.
"Observe, sir, several of you come with me." The squad leader of the Liaison Guard Class is a brave man weighing ninety kilograms. He single-handedly held a mg34 and kicked the door of the apartment.
This is a standard London middle-class house. Maybe it has been here for several generations. There is a row of photos of family photos hanging on the porch. The various decorations and furnishings are only placed in an orderly manner facing the living room. On the shelf, it is clear that the owner of this family has only temporarily evacuated, and he intends to come back again.
Corporal Rambo glanced into the living room with a machine gun and saw no signs of anyone. He recruited a boat to his subordinates and walked towards the stairs on the second floor. The heavy military boots stepped on the thick wool carpet without making a loud noise. The two soldiers walked into the living room and the kitchen and searched carefully. The rest followed the squad leader to the second floor to search.
"No one here, sir."
"No one is here, sir."
"There are a lot of good wine here, sir."
"Don't move anything in this room, I warned you for the last time."
After a careful lap, Rambo ran downstairs and reported to his commander.
"After cleaning up, sir, no one was found."
"Understood, Rambo. Gentlemen, remember to move faster after starting the action. The fire points are set alternately in each class. We have encountered this terrain more than once, but this is the first time like this, this road is enough. It’s 800 meters long and it’s all uphill. I hope it’s just our nervousness, but it looks like it’s really a good place to set up a line of defense. Pay attention to searching every suspicious house, and the tank will provide fire support if necessary. Remember It is strictly forbidden to use flamethrowers. This is the strict order of the superior. The head of state did not want to see a burning London city." After that, Sauer took his submachine gun from the serviceman and hung the canvas gun on his shoulder.
"Gentlemen, act."
"Observe, sir." The platoon commanders saluted the company commander, and then quickly rushed towards their respective units.
