Battle of the Third Reich: The 198th Breaking the City (1)

"The Seventh Company of the Second Battalion of the 10th Tank Regiment is to our right, and there is only this hillside between us." The communicator Stevans pressed the frequency hopping switch and began to try to contact his companions in other fixed channels. .

"We are going to be overtaken by them, sir." Rawick yelled from the communication channel in the car.

"Is there any way, they are light company." Hank sat slanted on the gunner's seat, holding the opening handle of the armor cover of the firing port on the side of the turret, and leaning on the side door observation seam to look out.

"The 38t runs fast? Well, it's faster than us." Rawick said a little helplessly. The No.4 is a medium tank, originally not good at speed, and equipped with armor and long-barreled artillery. The weight of the G-type car broke the historical record. Before the new power system, forty yards was her top speed.

"Keep this speed, Rawick, and it's uphill again." Lieutenant Snyder patted the throat communicator to remind the driver to pay attention.

"From the map, it is less than five kilometers away from Lang Deshoir Airport. Our goal in the morning is to reach this area." Lieutenant Snyder deflected his body and talked to the commander of the infantry company holding a large-scale map. Continue to discuss the battle plan.

"Snyder, we should first occupy these blocks outside the airport, and then launch assaults from two directions. The information given to me by the regiment showed that there were only more than 200 air force personnel and some militias in this area. There are also two army airfield guard units. They have some light weapons and machine guns. There is an air defense position on the east side of the airport." The infantry company commander is a young lieutenant who looks less than 30 years old, dressed in a rumpled suit. His field uniform, with a dusty m35 helmet on his head, and the only decoration on his body is a second-grade iron cross ribbon on the placket.

"We will not consider other issues first, Lieutenant Sauer, you see, after we cross the railway line, there is a community of residents here. This is the only way to go, we only have to go through it. Otherwise, it would have to make a big circle. It is an uphill road with a long ramp and a very obvious arc. This terrain is very suitable for ambushing armored forces like ours. In that environment, my tank company dodges There is no room for it." Snyder pointed to the map to explain to the other party.

"My people will walk in front of you and let the infantry clean up this community. This is our strength. You can provide fire support at critical times." Sauer crossed his legs. Leaning on the glove box at the back of No. 4 turret, frowning and carefully checking the map in his hand.

"In this case, then there should be no problem. My tank will follow you as long as you stay in radio contact." Snyder smiled and elbows the opponent's knee.

Snyder's No. 4 tank company has become a star unit in the German army, and it will even be watched by friendly officers and soldiers when the station rests. Soldiers and officers wanted to witness this legendary diving tank unit. Then not only ordinary officers and soldiers, but even some high-level commanders will come over and ask for warmth, and by the way, learn about the performance of these magical equipment on the battlefield from Snyder.

The record of the No. 4 G-type made all the commanders of the armored units look enthusiastic, and the performance parameters of this tank also made the tankers of other units envy. The command has received a large number of reports from frontline officers, especially Guderian, who requested the command to consider expanding the production of such tanks. Eliminate all No. 1 and No. 2 in the army at the same time.

This point coincides with Xu Jun’s plan. The head of state actually went further than Guderian. In his future elimination list, there is currently a large number of tanks equipped in the German army. He crossed out this awkwardly positioned tank from the main equipment and classified it as a reconnaissance vehicle.

Snyder’s tank company has determined that it will be expanded into a tank battalion after the battle is over. Snyder will be promoted and become the first battalion commander. However, this had already been expected by everyone, if it hadn't been for Snyder's tank company in the French battle that encountered a French heavy tank, which caused heavy casualties. He should have been promoted in the military post in the French campaign long ago. In fact, the two No. 4 diving tank companies were trained by him alone. He currently holds the position of acting commander of the brigade, which is essentially equivalent to a battalion-level officer.

At the end of the Battle of Dover. Snyder's company has already achieved an impressive record. The Snyder team alone added five destruction marks to the barrel. No matter what happens in the end, at least one Iron Cross of the First Class will not run.

London’s suburbs are not a flat wilderness, because they are in the estuary delta, surrounded by mounds seven or eighty meters above sea level. The City of London was built close to the Thames. Because of the abundant water resources and suitable climate, humans were active nearby in ancient times.

Since the Victorian period, due to the Industrial Revolution, the booming factories and enterprises urgently needed a large amount of labor, so a large number of immigrants and immigrants poured into the Greater London area, and the city’s population began to explode, according to the record In the short span of thirty years, the number of residents has increased fifteen times. At its peak, London had more than 8 million permanent residents.

Because of the influx of large numbers of migrants, the living environment of urban residents is rapidly deteriorating, and many areas, especially poor areas, have almost become unsuitable places for human survival. At the same time, there were a lot of health and public security problems, which eventually caused the middle class in the city to begin to shift to the periphery of the city.

The wealthy middle class bought individual homes in these emerging communities in the suburbs. This is now the Victorian spire that has become almost a symbol in the wealthy communities on the outskirts of London. The wealthy people don’t have to worry about traffic problems at all. The public carriage system has shortened the distance between the suburbs and the urban area. Over time, this kind of mid-to-high-end communities have sprung up in the suburbs, and eventually developed into what is now Snyder. This huge city with a radius of 50 kilometers in front of you is one of the most famous human settlements in Europe.

"Ray-Ban or Lip-Ban, how do you pronounce this word in English?" Rawick leaned over the driver's observation port, carefully distinguishing the signs on the roadside.

"Don't worry about that, the one on the left, the one on the left. Gold...what's the gold?" Stevans shouted loudly.

"Are you sure? You don't even know the words." Rawick retorted.

"Stop arguing, there are only two roads here, you two can throw coins." Hank began to booze.

"Well, Carl, you give me a coin."

"Sorry, Corporal, I didn't bring any change." The young loader shook his head vigorously from the side, he wouldn't be fooled again.

"We're here, pull over and let the infantry pass by first." Snyder gave the order to stop his subordinates' churn.

"Remember Lieutenant, let your people pay attention to the window on the second floor, pay attention to the flower beds on the side." Snyder stood on the control tower, leaning out to shout to the infantry company commander.

"Got it, Lieutenant. You'd better let two tanks follow us, don't get too close." Sauer's bucket car stopped by the tank, and he answered loudly from the co-pilot position.

The infantry company commander nodded at Snyder, then opened the door and jumped out of the car.

"A platoon of two shifts first went out to investigate. Did you see the house with the green flag? Set up a machine gun firepoint on it." Sauer Zhan said to him on the sidewalk at the end of the street. Three platoon leaders assigned tasks.

"Corporal Rambo, take a few people up to have a look. This building has a good view. I want to set up a headquarters on the second floor." Sauer pointed to a two-story apartment behind him.

"Yes, sir, you guys come with me." The squad leader of the company's guard squad was a burly man weighing ninety kilograms. Holding a mg34 in one hand, he kicked open the door of the apartment.

This is a standard middle-class residence in London. It may have lived here for several generations. There are a row of family photos on the porch. Various decorations and furnishings are only placed directly opposite. On the decorative shelf in the living room, it is obvious that the owner of this house is only temporarily evacuating, and he plans to come back again.

Sergeant Rambo took a machine gun and glanced into the living room. He didn't see any sign of anyone. He recruited the ship to his men, and then walked towards the stairs on the second floor. The heavy army boots stepped on the thick wool carpet without making much noise. The two soldiers walked into the living room and kitchen to search carefully, and the rest followed the squad leader to the second floor to search.

"There is no one here, sir."

"There is no one here, sir."

"There is a lot of good wine here, sir."

"Don't move anything in this room, I will warn you one last time."

Rambo took a closer look, then strode downstairs and reported to his commander.

"Cleaning up~IndoMTL.com~sir, no one was found."

"Understood, Rambo. Gentlemen, remember to move fast after starting the action, and set fire points alternately in each class. We have encountered this kind of terrain more than once, but this is the first time like this one. The road is 800 meters long and all of them are uphills. I hope we are just nervous, but it seems that this place is really suitable for setting up a line of defense. Pay attention to search for every suspicious house, and tanks will provide us with fire support if necessary. Remember, flamethrower is not allowed. This is a strict order of the superior. The head of state does not want to see a burning London city." After speaking, Sauer took his submachine gun from the orderly and hung the canvas gun belt. Shoulders.

"Gentlemen, do it."

"Yes, sir." The platoon commanders saluted the company commander, and then rushed towards their units quickly.
