At the time of the order, leaning against the side skirt of the new tank, Ryan was eating a green apple. It's not easy for the troops fighting in the front line to eat fresh fruit. What's more, there is an apple orchard here, which provides unripe apples "for free" to those carrying assault rifles.
The tiger king tank had a clear advantage against the Soviet tanks, and even the latest Stalin type tanks in the Soviet Union could not compete in the open area. Unfortunately, since Ryan took command of the new tiger king tank, he never had a chance to fight again.
Goodrian kept them away from the public at all. Ryan, they were following a large throng of grenadiers as if they were in Germany. If they could not occasionally see the bodies of the Soviet Red Army on the road, as well as some craters and ruins, they would feel that they have returned to Germany.
At the command, Ryan stood up straight with the apple in his hand, went to the front of the tank and leaned over to the shouting officer. Then he heard the order and realized that this time there was going to be a fight. So the tiger king tank No. 113 on the turret started, drove up the road from the field, and drove toward the distant horizon.
As a new weapon of the German army, the shock absorption system of the tiger king tank and the tiger type are two concepts. The structural advantages of the rod type shock absorption system have been studied by German engineers for a long time. As a classical tank connecting structure of later generations, it also has its irreplaceable advantages, so this kind of structure is much more powerful than Christie's.
First of all, this kind of structure is simple and reliable. It almost never breaks down, which is a great advantage for the German army which emphasizes the reliability of tanks. In addition, this structure saves space, so the total amount of ammunition carried by the tiger king tank is much higher than that of the Tiger tank, which is convenient for the tank to fight for a long time and is conducive to the elite troops to play their combat power.
Of course, another advantage is that the suspension system has a slightly better shock absorption effect than Christie's structure, so when Ryan leans against the tank's turret canopy, he feels drowsy.
The whole 502 heavy tank battalion has replaced its own weapons, most of which have been replaced by Tiger King tanks, and the original leopard tanks of the battalion have also been replaced by second-hand Tiger tanks. So now there are no gasoline burning tanks in the whole 502 battalion, which can be regarded as a simplification of logistics supply.
In the end, marshal blauchich's decision was to support the independent operation of the goodrian army as much as possible. Because there is really nothing nearby that can be provided to the G group army. But Germany is holding a lot of cards now, so goodrian is not alone.
At least when Ryan was sleepy, the busy ground crew was preparing for the final step of the fighter plane's take-off in the German Front Field Airport dozens of kilometers away. A few days of rain weather made the road difficult to walk, but it also brought a clear sky to the whole war zone after the rain stopped. The weather did not cause any more trouble to the soldiers on both sides. Everything was expected by everyone.
"Ready! You can take off at any time. " Two ground crew members and the pilot who was confirming their mission said: "the fuel tank has been filled. I heard that the Field Airport in Romania has been built almost, and it is fully able to cope with this force."
"I'm not worried about the infrastructure there. I'm worried that such a large-scale maneuver will affect the next flight attendance." The pilot signed his name on a record form, then kicked the ropes scattered on the ground and walked to his plane.
The sergeant on the co pilot nodded, and both of them put on their earphones. These pilots are different from the pilots of the air force. They are not wearing thick leather jackets, nor are they wearing leather flying caps, and the goggles are hanging around their necks at will.
The two men checked the instruments in the cockpit, then waved to the ground crew on standby, indicating that they were all right. Then the co pilot turned on the overhead switch, and the huge horizontal propeller outside their cabin began to rotate slowly.
The propeller of this Odin helicopter began to rotate slowly, accelerated a little bit, and finally rolled up a little dust on the ground, forming a sharp wind that made people unable to open their eyes. The helicopter slowly left the ground, and the ropes on the ground began to be tightened by the huge tension.
Then a lightweight German 75mm infantry gun was pulled from the ground. Personnel on the ground waved their hands to command the plane to fly safely out of the air. Odin helicopter's strong drag ability began to show, and easily pulled the 500 kg infantry gun into the sky.
Not far away, the same Odin transport helicopter is also taking off. In addition to being filled with soldiers, the plane is also covered with shells. Further in the sky, two Odin helicopters have begun to fly to the distance, without exception, these planes are full of goods that need to be transported to the distance.
"If I put it in the past, I can't even think about it. A battalion of infantry was transported away so easily." A pilot of the Odin helicopter who was taking off sighed: "it took only a few hours to get to the position of strengthening Romanian troops on the flank... What a surprise."
"What is that?" While the co pilot turned on the engine ignition, he said to his driver with a mouthpiece with a smile, "this battalion is much more powerful than the ordinary battalion, because they still have our support!" The propeller of their plane began to rotate, and then the plane flew with it. The plane didn't hang anything outside, because there were two more small wings on the two wings of the plane, and there were dense rocket launching nests on them. In front of the nose of the plane, there are two 20 mm caliber machine guns, which look majestic“ This is the cover squadron! We've taken off! We have taken off! " While the pilot was driving his own plane to catch up with the first take-off transport helicopter, he was communicating with the headquarters on the ground by radio. Dozens of Odin helicopters took off at the airport and headed straight for the area where they needed reinforcements. Ryan is still reeling on the road, tormented by the small bumps of the tank. In front of him is tank 111; Then came tank 112, in which sat the chattering Marcus, complaining all the way about the recent drop in food supplies; Tank 113 was followed by 114 and 115. In short, they were filled up and sent to the battlefield for another separation“ Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo... "A dense engine roar came from the sky. Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distant sky. Even if the German fighters would sometimes fly low and say hello to friendly ground forces, they would not fly so low. So Ryan curiously focused his eyes on the direction of the sound, because he was wearing headphones, and there was the noise of the tank engine, so when Ryan looked at it, the other side was very close. An Odin helicopter flew over his head, and the rocket launching nests hanging on both sides of his belly looked murderous. Then, just behind the Odin helicopter, a helicopter with an infantry gun flew by quickly. Ryan narrowed his eyes, and a breeze blew across his face, making him feel very comfortable“ Look at them. That's the way to go. " Marcus also looked up at the sky, enviously looking at the overhead helicopters, exclaimed: "don't worry about mines, don't go along the road, a straight line to the place, convenient and fast." Helicopters have received unprecedented attention in the German military. The navy has equipped a large number of helicopters, and the air force has madly demanded to expand production. Even some extreme generals have begun to clamor that helicopters will destroy tanks. As a ground force, of course, I envy those Army Aviation men who are high up and down. At least in the process of driving, the helicopter looks very comfortable, convenient and fast - and has a very cool air quality (or how can the special forces with guns sitting on both sides of the helicopter be so handsome?)“ okay! Marcus! Don't be envious. We'll stop and have a rest in the small town in front of us. You'll be responsible for setting up the guard around us. " Ryan drew back his eyes, then pressed the throat phone to Marcus and said, "contact the investigation company in front and ask if they have found anything."“ Yes, yes! I just envy those people on the helicopter. Look at them. They are so handsome and handsome on the way. " Marcus turned his lips, and then talked with the company commander in front of him about whether there were Soviet people in the village in front of him. Over their heads, the co pilot of an Odin helicopter looked down at the tiger king tank troops at their feet, with an envious expression on his face: "look at people, majestic, looking at the gun barrel, I feel very powerful."“ okay! Isn't it... Like us wretches... Have you ever heard of a fool who is willing to fly only 100 meters high in a hail of bullets on a plane without a parachute? " The driver laughed: "we are..." "hahaha! The flying coffin is about us... It's a real image. " The co pilot laughed at himself, and then they shut their mouths and drove their helicopter to the distance. What they don't know is that there are also a group of people who are envious of them who can fly, just as they are envious of each other's invulnerability.
