Chapter 706

"Left! yes! A little to the left! Be careful! Draw some pictures there, too! Don't block the number Ryan is standing next to his Tiger tank, directing Alice and Bruce to paint the whole tank in white camouflage. Because it is hand painted, the whole tank looks messy and exaggerated.

However, for these soldiers who have been on the front line all the year round, it is the most important thing to survive in the fierce battlefield environment. As for other aspects, beauty and ugliness are actually irrelevant. The front of the Tiger tank is good. Some members of the Panther tank crew have begun to pile up debris on their front armor plate to increase some so-called protection.

"Ryan! If you think we can't do it, you can do it yourself! It's a nuisance to talk on one side! " Alice's nose tip is covered with a little white paint, which makes her beautiful face look playful and lovely. With her action of pinching her waist, it makes Ryan feel like laughing.

Moreover, she had a lot of white paint on her hands. As a result, she pinched her waist and rubbed a lot of it on her black armored uniform, which added some other colors to her dirty black uniform. Ryan's skirt was also Alice's back that moment, with a brush to throw a few white paint.

So there was a little more embarrassment in Alice's interrogative look, and the original uprightness became an embarrassed expression. And Ryan looked at the white paint on his body, had no choice but to smile.

Bruce looked at them and laughed. As a result, he covered the famous number 113 on the tank with a shake of his hand. Well, 113 turned into tank 13.

Ryan covered his eyes with his hand and felt that his command was a typical example of failure. He felt that he should not leave the two men to paint, but let Andre and Bauman go to the camp to get tents and machine gun ammunition.

In the morning, the battalion called a meeting of all the captains and arranged combat tasks. At night, the battalion would go south and attack eastward after arriving at the southern part of new Moscow. It would capture a small village named N182, and then follow the main force of G group army to attack the Soviet Red Army in the direction of Kharkov and Donetsk.

The whole Panzer battalion and some Grenadier troops around it have the task of capturing Pavlograd, then moving eastward to lozovaya, occupying slavyansk, cutting between Donetsk and Kharkov, and encircling the Soviet Red Army in these two directions.

Just a few hours ago, Liszt's E group army was attacked fiercely by the powerful armored group of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. The Supreme Command judged Zhukov's strategic intention. The northern Kiev region has begun to strengthen its fortifications and fight a protracted defensive war.

However, the pressure on Kiev's defense in the positive direction suddenly eased. At least the Supreme Command felt that the Soviet Red Army lacked offensive strength and equipment in this direction. Therefore, after listening to the face-to-face report of general Bok and other military representatives in Berlin, akado ordered to launch a counterattack immediately and attack further in the southern region for a certain distance, Forced the Soviet Red Army in the north to retreat.

As a result, several of the most effective groups of the German army began to move towards the front line, including goodrian's G group army and moder's D group army. If the M group army under Manstein was included, more than 500000 German troops began to launch an offensive formation in Kiev.

"Come on, 13 is 13. Anyway, it's a number. When the paint is dry, we'll be on our way in the afternoon. Alice will check our cans and other food. Bruce will check the ammunition and put the new armor piercing bullets in a convenient position. It may be useful." Ryan reluctantly looked at his tank, and looked at his clothes, finally can only be so arranged for some time.

It wasn't long before the whole battalion of tanks were assembled and began their long trek along the road, followed by an armored Grenadier regiment of the SS 3rd Division and the division's artillery. There was also an Armored Regiment of leopard tanks, then division headquarters of division Frick, and behind the hall was the 2nd Armored Regiment and other troops. The whole 3rd Armored Division was in a mighty position, moving towards the position where they needed to attack.

The track of the tank rolled on the white snow, and then took up the compacted snow or the mixture of snow and ice. The track of the tank immediately behind was filled with snow and black soil. Later, the tank directly pressed on the muddy soil along the ruts, and the dead hay could be seen mixed with it.

The road is muddy and tortuous, which is definitely a huge test for the German armored forces. Fortunately, the track of the German tank is much wider than that of the No. 3 tank and No. 4 tank in another time and space. Otherwise, the track is easy to get into the mud. Although it is slow, the whole armored forces can still move forward on the road.

Bowman complained about the muddy typical Soviet style road, while carefully controlling the clutch of the Tiger tank. Under his driving, the Tiger tank runs smoothly, and it is not difficult to follow the tank in front.

Ryan leaned against the canopy of the captain's position, staring at the field not far away, where one of modle's infantry troops was hobbling along. They started one day earlier, and now they were caught up by the mechanized SS 3rd Armored Division. These infantry were responsible for covering the flanks of the 3rd Armored Division. The white camouflage clothes were not very conspicuous in the snow, But Ryan can still see endless soldiers spreading into the distance in the snow. It's like thousands of snowmen have come to life. These German soldiers are wearing white snow hooded windcoats and holding white camouflaged helmets. They are walking hard in the gray fields. Some horses are struggling in the mud, hissing and pulling the 105 millimetre caliber infantry artillery behind them. Compared with the main force of the German Army, Modle's infantry equipment is not so good, but the combat effectiveness is not low. Ryan took his eyes back. Before moving forward, the armored forces were strictly required by their respective battalion commanders. It was forbidden to carry infantry in the mud and snow, so as to avoid affecting the overall forward speed after flameout or getting into the mud. In this bad weather, the German army still has a lot of details to adapt to, and is getting used to it bit by bit. But before getting used to it, no one dares to take risks. Originally, it could barely be built in the place of four infantry, but now it is fixed with a few barrels of antifreeze, some spare gasoline and surplus shells. Each tank helps the logistics troops of the battalion to bear a lot of rags. Some tanks have some maintenance parts, some common tools, more ammunition and oil, After all, it was a long march. The sky was still gray, and the dark clouds were like thick quilts, which made people unable to see the sun in the sky. It had to be said that the Soviets really knew the bad weather in their territory, and the attack time they chose was very favorable. The huge German air force could only lie at home in such time and weather, waiting for the dark clouds to gradually disperse. It seems that the war has nothing to do with it. It seems that its short existence is for the sake of elegant and easy existence. Most of the advantages of the lost air force are lost, so the Germans lose an important firepower link, Compared with the Soviet Red Army, which basically relies on ground firepower, at least this time will enable them to more or less recover their firepower advantage and be more conducive to their attack. This is war. Even if thousands of people are unwilling, they have to go to the battlefield when they are most unwilling, and fight a battle with the enemy who is smart enough to fight, but they can't use it. Sometimes you can choose where to fight, sometimes the right is on your enemy's side. Marcus is still making a lot of noise in the company channel and in the earphone of the radio. From the time he set out, he kept talking to Ryan about what he would do if he met wolf, but Ryan never answered him, so he kept talking to himself there. It can be seen that wolf has put a lot of psychological pressure on him, It's a bit out of place for this super tank ace who has drawn 58 battle marks on the chariot. Ryan didn't speak because he had been sketching in his mind, sketching a strange line, a Stalin tank in the picture. Although it was a burnt Stalin tank, Ryan could imagine its original appearance. He sketched the tank, and then added a black five pointed star on it. That tank was Wolff's car, When you encounter it, you have to raise your spirits and deal with it carefully. Alice is obviously a little heartless. She uses the spare channel of the car radio to listen to the radio report from Germany. There are patriotic songs in it, which is much better than listening to a group of stinking men's nonsense. Although it does not meet the regulations, as the owner of all the radio equipment on this Tiger tank, Alice thinks she has the right to do so. In the evening, the whole armored division stopped and began to camp. It was said that further ahead was the area where the 10th armored army under modle exchanged fire with the Soviet troops. The German infantry who were on the way could not be seen around them, but the flames and smoke could be seen in the distance. There are burning villages and destroyed cities.
