Chapter 199 The Thief
"Comrade Fovalikov!" Shulka called the thief up to him.
"Comrade company commander!" The thief was slightly injured, his scalp was scratched, and his arm was bandaged.
"Can you continue to fight?" Shulka asked.
"Of course, Comrade Company Commander!"
Shulka didn't say much. He pulled out his military thorn and drew on the ground while saying, "This is the main road. The enemy's anti-aircraft guns are 700 meters away. There is an alley here, which is this..."
Speaking of this, Shulka raised his head towards an alley more than ten meters away, then pointed to the map and continued: "Go down the alley for 700 meters, and then cross it, can you reach the position of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns?"
"Of course, Comrade Commander!" The thief replied: "But it is probably a house!"
"The house is not a problem!" Shulka said.
Then the thief quickly understood that they had tanks, and they were powerful diesels...
In terms of power, the T34 even far exceeds the "Tiger" tank that the German army is proud of.
Although the T34 only has 500 horsepower, it is not as good as the improved and upgraded "Tiger" 700 horsepower engine. ("Tiger" Maybach HL230 P45 engine)
However, the power of the "Tiger" engine is achieved by high speed, while the T34 diesel engine achieves 500 horsepower with low speed and high torque. (Note: power = torque * speed)
Therefore, the T34 has a powerful torque of up to 2653 Nm, while the Tiger engine is only 2228 Nm.
In other words, houses or even walls in general are not a problem for the T34, which can easily knock it out of a big hole and pass through.
"But, Comrade Company Commander!" said the thief, "It seems that you should tell the tank soldiers more about this!"
"Tankmen need your guidance!"
Only then did the thief really understand what Shulka meant.
"Comrade Lieutenant!" Shulka yelled at Kalashnikov on the tank: "My subordinate will be your follower, and he will use the phone to guide you forward. Is there a problem?"
Kalashnikov looked suspiciously at the thief standing beside Shulka,
He hesitated for a while, and then replied: "No, of course there is no problem. But, are you sure there will be no problem?"
"Of course!" said Shulka.
Although he said so, in fact, Shulka was not sure at all... No one can make guarantees on the battlefield.
"Well, I believe you!" Kalashnikov replied, before ducking into the tank and closing the hatch.
The thief ran to the armor behind the tank, climbed up nimbly and drove a follower down.
"Back!" The thief commanded the tank with a phone: "Back, continue to back...stop, there is an alley on your right, drive into it!"
"What?" Kalashnikov, who was driving the tank in the tank, couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "You are crazy, we can't even turn around in it!"
"That's what Comrade Company Commander means, Comrade Lieutenant!" the thief replied, "We don't need to turn around, and we don't need to back off!"
"Damn it!" Kalashnikov swore, already beginning to wonder if he was right in believing Shulka.
The tank slowly turned into the alley. This alley was so narrow that it couldn't even accommodate the tank, because it was forced to squeeze in, and it would keep knocking down the side wall or the protruding balcony when it was moving. (T34 is 3 meters wide)
"Follow!" Shulka waved at his subordinates, and the soldiers followed the tank, or even a road that the tank hit.
They even have to be careful, because from time to time, a brick or two will fall from the side, and there will be a few screams from the nearby houses... Obviously, the sound of the tank engine and the knocked down wall frightened them .
But no one cares about that because they can't care about that.
"Speed up!" the thief yelled holding the phone, "Put the gas pedal to the bottom!"
Kalashnikov gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas pedal as the thief said.
The tank roared like a clumsy rhinoceros, panting heavily, and kept bumping into the surrounding buildings to move forward.
A small group of German soldiers were deployed in this alley. They obviously didn't expect that the Russian tanks would go in here to kill themselves...but in fact it was them who killed themselves, because they just used sandbags in the alley Build a trench and mount a machine gun.
The panicked German soldiers shot at the tank, and the bullets hit the tank armor with a crisp "clang clang" sound, like popping beans.
Then the German soldiers quickly realized that this was a stupid approach, and immediately put away their machine guns and fled.
But it was too late to escape at this time, and the tank rushed up with a "boom"... The sandbags were knocked into the air, and several German soldiers were crushed under the tracks and turned into meat mud because they had nowhere to escape.
Among them was a German soldier who was clinging to the wall of the nearby building, hoping to escape, but the gap between the tank body and the wall could not allow him to "hide" past.
So, in a burst of screams, the German soldier was almost "grinded" by the tank on the wall... The wall of more than 20 meters was full of its blood, flesh and organs. It wasn't until the tank knocked down a section of wall that his suffering was finally over.
A German soldier was very lucky to "leak" out from under the tank chassis, but in the next second Shulka raised his rifle and aimed at his head and pulled the trigger at close range... The German soldier fell on the ground as soon as his head was raised. There is no movement on the ground.
Before his blood flowed out, Shulka stepped over his body and continued to follow the tank.
Not far ahead, the thief continued to hold the phone on the rear armor while observing the front while guiding the tank forward.
The reason why he chooses the thief is because of his specialty... Shulka believes that the sense of space and direction are nothing to a thief. He can almost imagine the structure of the building when he sees it from the outside. It should not be a thief.
"See the steps ahead?" the thief called loudly on the phone. "There's a door on the steps!"
"Yes!" Kalashnikov replied.
"Go up!" said the thief.
"What?" Kalashnikov asked in horror, "but there's no way there!"
"Never mind that!" said the thief, "Speed up, drive up, and don't stop at any time!"
Kalashnikov gritted his teeth, manipulated the tank and rushed up.
With a sound of "Peng", the door was knocked open without any surprise, and then the furniture, glass, cooking utensils, etc. inside made a "clang-clang" sound.
After the tank knocked down several walls one after another, it smashed through another outer wall with a "squeaky" sound...
And before Kalashnikov could react, the tank had crashed into a gun... that anti-aircraft gun!
