~： Tank snorkel (1/2)
When it was dark, finally, the roar of the engine broke the silence.
In the past few hours, the soldiers of the armored division were busy in the rear. They carried out routine maintenance of the tank, adjusted the track, and cleaned the barrel. When all these were done, they also carried out some additional projects.
For example, the various gaps on the tank were plugged, the gun barrel port was tightly plugged, and the tarpaulin was also used to wrap it. At the same time, the valuable infrared night vision device on the turret was removed and wrapped tightly with raincloth. Into the car body.
Now, they are only waiting for one thing.
In the armored division, there are thousands of trucks that can supply the armored division's offensive needs. This time, the convoy transported not ordinary fuel and ammunition, but some special large pipes.
”Quick, work!” Modlin, the commander of the 5th Armored Regiment, the main force of the Viking Division, shouted loudly to his men.
The big pipe on the truck was more than one meter thick and more than five meters long. Several people carried the pipe and slowly came to the side of the tank.
In the field conditions, there are only a few cranes, and in order to quickly assemble these large pipes, they have to go out manually.
At the top of the pipe, there are four holes, through which four iron wires are inserted, and then by pulling it, the pipe can be erected.
”Slower, slower!” The commander of each tank was commanding, looking at the erected pipe, he slowly lifted the tank turret, and then reserved the top of the canopy on the turret. Down position, live accurately.
Under the tube, there is a rubber spacer with a circle of screws. Now everyone is quickly turning the screws. With the creaking sound, the tube has been installed in place.
Then, the four iron wires at the top were fixed to the four corners of the tank body. This tube can finally be securely fixed!
At this time, the tanks looked very strange. The thick tubes turned the tank queue into a forest of thick tubes.
”Our scouts have already carried out reconnaissance along the river bank. Five kilometers downstream, the river is open, the water depth is no more than five meters, and the flow velocity is not rapid. Our tank troops can pass by.” The division commander Felix arrived. The Fifth Armored Regiment said to its commander Modlin: ”At nine o'clock in the evening, our tank troops rushed over and opened a river bank position so that the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle behind us could cross the river. Then, today At night, we will defeat the opposing Soviet army!”
”Yes, teacher, please rest assured, we will not be afraid of this small river, nothing can stop us from moving forward.” Modlin said: ”Although we are not Germanic, but our fighting will not Will be worse than any army.”
Felix nodded, with an extremely solemn expression on his face: ”The Empire will never forget any warrior who fought bravely for the Empire.”
They are about to cross the river. Although they have conducted similar training in the past, they still face great dangers. Even when danger arises, they have no time to escape.
But no one is afraid!
One after another, tanks were launched rumblingly, and under the guidance of the scouts' motorcycles in front, they drove downstream on a ten-kilometer road for twenty minutes. Then, they saw a wide and peaceful river.
