Chapter 908: The Opposite Tank
"The fuel they promised should have arrived three hours ago!" Sitting in the tank and maintaining full combat readiness, Werner's mood was still unable to calm down. This was simply a tease!
He said that the East Germans on the other side would come over, demanded that their side remain ready, and demanded that their tanks not be turned off. Now that they are all running out of fuel, they have not hoped that the refueling car will come!
Without fuel, the engine could not operate, and the entire tank was extremely stuffy. So, Warner finally couldn't help it and said to the commander beside him: "Report the commander, I'll ask to go up and operate the machine gun."
The weapon of the Leopard 2 tank is mainly a 120mm smoothbore gun. However, the turret needs electric power to drive, and the aiming system of the artillery also needs electric power support. When the engine is turned off, this 120mm smoothbore gun has no possibility of participating in the battle.
The huge Leopard 2 tank, now there are only two machine guns left, one is Rheinmetallurgical Metals' MG3A1 7.62mm parallel machine gun, installed on the left side of the 120mm artillery, with a fire rate of 1,200 rounds/min; another is an MG3A1 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine gun installed on the ring bracket of the loading hand hatch, used for air defense, with a high and low shooting range of -10° to 75°, so it can be completely placed to hit the ground target.
In fact, using anti-aircraft machine guns to prevent air defense has now proven impossible. This anti-aircraft machine gun has a better shooting range than a parallel machine gun, which makes it easier for the shooter to eliminate enemy infantry near the tank. At the same time, as a shooter, the possibility of sacrifice is also the greatest. This most dangerous thing is of course left to the loader.
And now, this is a beautiful errand.
Hearing Warner's words, the commander nodded: "Be careful, there may be a sniper on the other side."
Sniper? There is no fart on the opposite side! Until now, the captain's combat awareness is still so strong. In fact, many people have seen it. This is clearly because the Americans think that they are disobedient and deliberately let their pigeons go!
Pushing the hatch on the top, it was refreshing! Warner took a deep breath, then pretended to push the hatch in front of him as a shield, and then pushed the machine gun.
When he turned his head, he realized that he had been behind a long time ago. The tanks and loading hands next to him had already come out! Even further away, some of the entire crew members had come down, and they were still smoking without any scruples!
The captain of my own car is too old-fashioned and there is nothing on the other side. This is meaningless!
And Warner, thinking of the game he had played halfway, couldn't help it anymore, took out the game console from his pocket, started to play Tetris at the top of the turret, and focused on continuing to play Tetris. This time, he must break the record!
Warner was playing happily, and he heard the sound of the hatch of the turret on one side, and the captain also came out!
Suddenly, Warner was shocked and hurriedly hid the game console. Unexpectedly, the always-stern leader did not stop him.
"If you want to play, play, Werner, maybe you won't be able to play soon." said the captain.
This made Warner stunned. Damn, do you mean I will die soon? We are in the same car crew, and if we die, we will die together.
How could he know? The commander actually meant that the situation was too obvious. If the National Defense Forces were to reform, a large number of people would be unlucky! The commander also knew his true identity well. At that time, the entire crew might be affected.
This time, Warner stopped playing and was in a state of no mood. It was like the last meal I ate before walking on the execution ground, and even the delicacies were in a state of no mood.
And as if it confirmed his thoughts, everyone felt that the ground seemed to be trembling.
Yes, it's just trembling! What is this? It's the sound of a tank marching!
Yes, it's the tank! They are so familiar with this kind of vibration. Only a large number of tanks can make such noises! Now, our tanks, because they have no oil, are waiting in place, and even the infrared night vision instrument cannot be activated, so they cannot observe the movements on the opposite side! However, this vibration is definitely not our own, it must be the other party!
What is the other party going to do?
"Hurry, get into the tank and get ready for battle!" A voice shouted loudly, losing fuel and power, even orders need to be issued by people.
However, this order was not effectively executed, because, at this moment, a voice shouted: "Fight your sister! Without fuel, try turrets by hand? How do you aim? Moreover, the person coming from the opposite side is our compatriots, we don't hit our own people!"
Warner couldn't believe his ears, and he was talking to his own commander! The commander has been educating the entire crew members to faithfully execute orders, defend the country, and fight bravely. But now, the commander has actually said such words!
However, this sentence really expresses Werner's voice. It's not that we don't want to fight, but that under this situation, it's impossible to fight at all! The tank, without fuel, is an absolute living coffin!
Instead of entering the tank, firing a shell that is absolutely inaccurate and then being destroyed by the opponent, it is better to stay here honestly and become a prisoner! Anyway, the opposite side is also a German, so it is not embarrassing to be captured!
For them, this is the best choice. If you want to blame, blame the Americans. Who made them think about curbing the German army at this time and not providing fuel to their own side!
"Yes, that is, when did Americans treat us as human beings? They treat us as cannon fodder! Now, they don't even give us fuel, and they even fart them!" another voice shouted.
Suddenly, the battalion commander who had just issued the order was discouraged: "This is what you forced me, it is you who resisted the order!"
Everyone suddenly realized, damn it. It turned out that the battalion commander didn't want to fight, but it was just because of face. Now, when he said this, it was equivalent to giving all the responsibility to his subordinates! It was so cunning!
In the distance, the rumbling sound became louder and louder!
The West German tank soldiers here don't want to fight at all. If it were the past, they might have been able to fight for their own country. But now, as the relationship with East Germany eases, with the opening of the Berlin Wall and the ease of relations between the two sides, no one wants to fight at all.
Especially now, it is obvious that the United States deliberately mobilizes the German army and sends the German army to the border line without giving fuel, which is clearly what it means to kill itself!
Soldiers must obey orders, but when they are irresistible, life is also precious!
As the roar continued to increase, they finally saw the tanks moving from the opposite side!
