Chapter 362 Routine Maintenance
"Quick, fast, fast!" On a vast plain, the company commander Heinz said loudly as he looked at his subordinates.
Tank soldiers look majestic, but in fact, tank soldiers are the hardest and most tiring, just like seeing spiders make a net every day and there is something to eat. No one sees spiders actually have to re-enter the net every day.
Tanks need routine maintenance every day.
Now, Heinz's tank company is maintaining their tanks.
The five-person driving system is quite suitable. Only when five people maintain the tank can the labor intensity be reduced.
As the platoon leader, Weitmann is no exception. At this time, he and his crew are maintaining their tanks.
Several people were sucking a long cannon brush to clean the cannon chamber.
The gun barrel has been placed to the lowest point. In the declining angle, the length of the gun barrel should be as long as the gun brush should be, and even more than one meter long.
This gun brush is made of steel bars. There is a cleaning brush in front of it, which just stuffed it into the muzzle. Then, several people shouted trumpets and stuffed the gun brush inside, and then turned and pulled outward.
The moment the cannon was blown out, a stream of black smoke rose out, and those flying out were all the residues after the cannon were fired.
Although advanced launching drugs are used, there will still be a lot of gunpowder residue inside the high-pressure tank gun. If it is not cleaned up in time, then if you shoot again next time, you may explode due to excessive resistance.
Once it’s not enough, just stuff it in again, the second and third times, until the things that were cleaned out of the gunshot will be considered to be over.
Several people were sweating profusely and put the cannon brush aside. Then, they adjusted the tightness of the tracks.
The tracks of tanks are very important. It is precisely because of the tracks that tanks can be like walking on flat ground. At the same time, tracks are made of high-strength steel.
Even so, the track often has various problems, just like the bicycle chain. After using it for a long time, it needs to be adjusted.
Too loose or too tight is not good.
If the track is too loose, the tank will easily loosen the track when it is turning. If it is too tight, once something hard is pressed on, the track will easily break.
When training, if the track is not suitable, it will be at most a breakdown. When it comes to the battlefield, once there is a problem with the track, it almost means the arrival of death. No one will ignore these.
Every day, after a long-distance raid, routine maintenance is required, which is related to their life and death on the battlefield!
In addition, you need to check them piece by piece. If there are cracks in the track, you must replace them immediately!
At this time, on each Black Panther tank, there is a row of spare tracks hanging in front of it. It can be used as additional armor, and can be replaced with tracks at any time when needed.
Changing tracks is a tough job, sledgehammers and iron chisels, and they serve them together.
"The track is just right, no need to adjust it." The driver shouted to Weitman.
The tracks are just right, this is really good news, so, next, you can relax.
Lying behind the Black Panther 3 tank and feeling the residual heat of the engine is the most pleasant time. Now, there is only one last thing left, waiting for the supply vehicle to arrive and replenish ammunition and fuel!
Here, it belongs to the Fuhuodawa area.
Not far away is the slowly flowing Vistula River. Ten kilometers south of the south is the surrounding Polish army.
In the Bug River, the Sang River and Vistu triangular areas, the armed SS armed divisions caught up with the retreating Polish troops and surrounded them.
But now, it is still difficult to eat these Polish troops in one breath, especially after the attack begins, there will definitely be a Polish army breaking through, which is the most unfavorable.
Therefore, they did not launch a general attack for the time being.
At the same time, the battles over the past few days scared the Polish army. Their cavalry was no match for tanks at all, and their infantry were even more lambs to be slaughtered. After discovering that they were surrounded, the Polish army was digging fortifications to death and turned to defense on the spot.
So, the stalemate was just like this, of course, it won't take too long.
The tank troops rushing all the way will launch a general attack at most tomorrow after routine maintenance and refueling.
The Poles were frightened. If they broke through after they just surrounded them, they would still be able to escape. After all, the German tanks were too weak to chase them.
Sitting behind his tank and leaning against the turret, Weitmann quietly lit a cigarette and started smoking.
In the intervals of battle, taking a tight puff of cigarette is the greatest enjoyment.
Not far away, he looked at the company commander Heinz, standing on a tank, observing the surroundings with a telescope. Now, Heinz is planning for tomorrow's battle.
As the company commander, there are more things to be responsible for, and for Weitmann, what he prefers is to rush up and kill the other party!
Weitman's behavior is often criticized by the company commander. In the eyes of the company commander, Weitman can only be a tank player and cannot be a more suitable commander of an armored force. When he becomes a platoon leader, after the company commander, he has to take care of the entire tank's combat more.
Once Weitmann is addicted to war, he will easily put this education behind his mind. Weitmann rushed forward first, and then his tank platoon followed him, which often turned into this situation.
Under this kind of impact, the Polish army often collapsed at once, and Weitmann rushed over the opponent's position, turned around and surrounded the opponent.
In his eyes, the battle against Poland is that simple. Of course, if you encounter a powerful opponent, there are other tactics, and he is still looking forward to it.
While smoking a cigarette comfortably, Heinz suddenly shouted: "Alarm, prepare for battle!"
alarm!
Just north of our side, in the vast land, countless dust suddenly appeared and flew up. It must be a force moving!
The distance is too far, and it is not clear here. It is likely that it is the cavalry unit supported by Poland!
alarm!
At this moment, all the tank crews quickly jumped onto their own tanks. Except for a few that were dismantling the tracks, the rest of the tanks were rumbling.
The advantages of diesel engines are fully demonstrated and are quite fuel-efficient. Although they are waiting for refueling, the remaining fuel in the fuel tank can still run dozens of kilometers, which is enough to deal with an unexpected encounter.
Weitman's tank rushed to the front again, and the engine at the tail rumbled, Weitman's eyes stared at his high-speed sight.
What came ahead? If it were Polish cavalry, they could be defeated with machine guns!
In the field of vision, the goal gradually expanded, and finally, you can see the outline of the opponent, which is also a tank!
Chapter completed!
