It had been several months since he had seen German soldiers. Yang Mingzhi stood in front of the corpses of the German soldiers lying dead in a pool of blood and looked at them quietly for a while.
At this time, Tokov had already taken the lead in starting the search. This military train pulled a total of seventeen carriages and carried a total of thirty tanks. The other two flatbed carriages carried heavy artillery, and their thick tubes already showed their huge size.
power.
Tokov trotted all the way to the commander who was staring at the enemy's dead body in a daze, and quickly reported: "Report to the commander! After searching, we did not find a living enemy!"
"What? Not one?!"
"Yes! The enemies have obviously been eliminated! What should we do now?"
Yang Mingzhi held his forehead and was not in a hurry to answer. He turned around and saw this huge locomotive in front of him! On the base of the locomotive was a huge nose, with a huge Nazi logo hanging in the center.
A large amount of mist was already spewing out from the front side of the car, and the pressure in the boiler was still being released.
Yang Mingzhi looked back at the defeated enemies and shook his head helplessly: "These people were eliminated without knowing it! It can only be said that our soldiers' marksmanship was so good that not a single one was left alive."
Abram asked with some confusion: "What are you doing to keep alive? Our mission of attacking the train has been completed. What's left is to plant some explosives to blow up the broken plug and all the tanks it pulls. Then we should go
Next destination.”
"No! No! This matter cannot be solved so simply and crudely!" Yang Mingzhi pointed meaningfully at the string of carriages behind the front of the car: "Comrades! Don't you think these military trains are very strange?"
"Strange?" Tokov wondered: "The German army uses our railway system to transport their munitions. This is completely reasonable. Even if they transport uninterrupted day and night, there is nothing strange about it."
"What about your report? This military column transported 30 tanks. Your company counted five columns overnight. Adding this one is already the sixth column! Look! Six columns means one hundred and eighty tanks.
, this is the organization of a German tank regiment! I can even establish now that the German army is transporting heavy equipment to one of their armored divisions under our noses!"
Tokov suddenly realized that the commander's inference made sense. He quickly replied: "In this case, this column must be destroyed. Besides, we killed thirty enemy tanks in one go, which is no small feat."
!”
"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi chuckled, pulled out his pistol, and ordered: "Let the soldiers guard these tanks for the time being, and let me check them carefully first!"
…
The current main tank of the Soviet Union, the T3476, has a front-mounted turret. When transported by rail, the barrel points to the rear engine. The reason is that the barrel is too long. In order to increase the transportation volume, it is worth using this method.
The longer gun barrel will allow the gun to eject at a higher speed. Coupled with the 76 mm caliber armor-piercing projectile hitting the side of the German tank, it is inevitable to destroy it with one shot.
Looking at these German tanks, Yang Mingzhi concluded that these were all Type IV tanks. In his impression, most of the Type IV tanks were equipped with short-barreled 75mm guns.
In fact, these tanks are Type IV F. Compared with the earlier models, its frontal armor has been thickened to 50 centimeters, and the armor on both sides has also reached 30 centimeters. But the improvement of this model is not only thickened.
Armor, a new type of weapon that poses a fatal threat to it, has some special improvements designed to deal with its threats, and is also installed on each car body.
The military column was still in the final braking stage when Yang Mingzhi noticed something strange about the tank it was carrying.
In his life, he had never been so close to the legendary No. 4 tank! Yang Mingzhi climbed up the ladder of the flatbed truck, and kept stroking the small road wheels of the compact layout of the tank with his hands.
With such a close distance, he finally saw clearly the modifications made by the German army - they actually installed fence armor on some key parts.
At this moment, there were no fewer than ten soldiers from Tokov Company standing proudly on the tank turret. Some were trying to lift the top cover, while others were celebrating with victory and conquest gestures, holding up their guns.
Seeing that the commander was interested in the tank, Tokov himself made an appreciative gesture, touched the tank, and muttered: "If our tank crew also participated in this operation, we would not have to completely blow up the tank."
If they can be destroyed by our army, our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved."
"Are you kidding!" Yang Mingzhi said with a funny smile: "Think about our march yesterday, how could these heavy tanks pass through so much mud? Besides! I'm sure there is no gasoline at all in the mailboxes of these iron turtles.
!”
Tokov was startled. He realized that he was embarrassed. He was chatting and laughing with the resourceful commander, and lack of knowledge was not enough. He quickly changed the subject and said: "The enemy is really strange. This tank has increased defense and is welded on the front.
It doesn’t matter if one section of the track is broken, but the enemy actually welded a chicken coop! Even on the sides, do they expect the iron fence to defend against incoming anti-tank shells?”
"Because these iron fences are not designed to protect against anti-tank guns!"
Yang Mingzhi squinted and happened to see such a soldier. He was an RPG player, standing on the turret of a tank with a victor's attitude. This man's image was really beautiful, and he was simply the most typical example of an "armed militia"
What an image! If you wrap a piece of cloth around your head, you can beat the Chechens of the Russian army.
Yang Mingzhi continued to popularize science: "I think the enemy's explosion is to defend against our rocket-propelled grenades! Since other troops have such weapons, even if they are not widely equipped like us, as long as there are such weapons in the company, the appropriate distance can still
Kill a foreign tank with one shot. Think about it, how much does a grenade cost, and how much does a tank cost? So the Germans have no choice but to do this. As long as it can be detonated in advance, the grenade cannot penetrate its armor."
Tokov nodded as if he understood. "So what you are saying, sir, is that the power of our massively equipped RPG has been greatly reduced?"
"Idiot! Our RPG is designed to fight infantry! Besides, I have long expected that the enemy would be so good at it, so we have a new type of burning air weapon!"
Yang Mingzhi was too lazy to dwell on this moment. He continued: "We cannot take these tanks away, and the enemy is not allowed to take them away! Tokov, you just checked, what can you find in the tanks? For example, machine guns?"
"There are machine guns! But there are no bullets!"
Yang Mingzhi was quite puzzled. This was obviously the transition of the enemy's armored forces!
"It's just that there's no oil in the fuel tank, and the machine gun has no bullets, so the artillery also doesn't have a single shell?"
Tokov responded decisively: "Yes! My men got inside, their ammunition was empty, and the entire interior was filled with a strong smell of engine oil. I guess, maybe these tanks have just come off the production line?"
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "As long as the machine gun can be used! Now your people start moving immediately and remove the vehicle-mounted machine gun! Abram, your people go search for the enemy's dead bodies, collect the firearms and ammunition, and transport them to me
