"We're in big trouble." Looking down at the conductor Kurt, Schmidt said.

There are many kinds of tank faults. For example, the engine is broken, which is already a big trouble. However, it doesn't matter. It can be dragged back by other tanks for repair.

The biggest trouble is that the traveling mechanism fails. Now, the driving wheel is broken. It rotates with the track. If the track wants to move, the driving wheel must move. If the driving wheel is broken, the tank can't move completely.

Even if you bring the trailer, you can't. the mouse tank can only get on the trailer by its own power. There is absolutely no crane to lift it.

Now, the battle here continues. It is even more difficult to repair tanks under such circumstances.

The most difficult thing is that there are no accessories.

Rat tanks are still equipped in single digits. When they set out, although they carried some vulnerable parts, such a driving wheel is definitely not vulnerable. It has no spare parts.

It takes two or three days to send a telegram to Berlin, produce it specially at Porsche, transport it, install it, even by air.

During this time, the mouse tank stayed here.

Well, almost all the Soviets will know that there is a immovable mouse tank here. They will certainly come up in turns. If not during the day, they will turn the place upside down at night.

Especially at night, it is the most dangerous. I don't know how many people will die.

There are also simple ways to blow up the tank, but this is a plan that everyone can't accept.

Thinking of these situations, everyone felt extremely depressed.

Hans didn't get off the tank. As an artillery commander, he has a more important task. At present, although the tank can't move, the engine is still intact. He still needs to guard and attack the possible enemy at any time.

Now, the tallest building around is the ruins of the small building about 600 meters away.

It was Hans's masterpiece just before the ambush of kv-2 tank. The two guns completely destroyed a machine gun fire point there, which should have no use value.

For the rest, the Romanian army is being cleared around. It is said that there will be no big problem. In fact, as long as there are no suspicious targets within 500 meters, they will be safe for the time being.

In later film and television works, it seems to be a common scene to snipe targets thousands of meters away. The protagonists are absolutely powerful. In fact, during World War II, if they can kill targets within 500 meters, they are definitely sharpshooters among sharpshooters.

This is first determined by their rifles. Although a sight is added on it, due to the limitation of technology, the sight can't see things at a very distance.

For example, with a 4x sight, you can't see your head at 500 meters away. Therefore, the standard of infantry rifle shooting in the training program of the German national defense force is 200 meters accurate killing and 400 meters effective killing.

Moreover, in the city, many snipers kill at a position of about 200 meters. If they are far away, they are not willing to try at all, which is beyond their grasp.

For the time being, without considering the enemy's sniper, Hans didn't have to use artillery. There was a loader guarding the machine gun, and Hans quickly jumped off the tank.

At this time, Schmidt and Kurt are discussing a solution, but there is no result.

Hans looked at his damaged driving wheel. Indeed, it would waste a lot of time if he took it apart and replaced it. If he changed his mind

"Maybe we can weld the driving wheel here for the time being." Hans said, "make do with driving back first, even if it's a few hundred meters back, and then go to safety."

Weld it? Hans's words immediately inspired several people present. Indeed!

Now, there is a big crack in the driving wheel. It must be impossible to operate the tank as before. However, if the motor is driven at low speed and low power, it may be able to make do with it.

As long as you step back a few hundred meters, it's much safer.

I just wanted to replace it, but I didn't expect to repair it.

"Call the maintenance car and weld the wheel first." Kurt said, "see if you can. If not, try to drag it back."

The maintenance vehicle is an ordinary cross-country truck without even armor protection. Several soldiers in the maintenance team risked their lives and drove the maintenance vehicle to the front of the rat tank.

"The gap is too big for us to weld through." Said the monitor of the maintenance team.

"It doesn't need to be fully welded. It's OK to weld it. Just let our tanks move." Hans said, "yes, add another piece of iron outside to increase the strength."

The maintenance team leader nodded, put on the welding mask and began to weld carefully.

Sparks splashed. Hans stared at the monitor of the maintenance team. The welds were symmetrical and the workmanship was good. If he went back, he would dismantle the driving wheel and weld the other side, which might be used normally!

It was getting dark slowly.

On the ruins, a person lay quietly. In front of her, there were several broken bricks, just a gap in the middle. She stuffed her rifle in, and the sight could just see the opposite.

Not far from her, another companion, who served as a lookout, was already impatient.

Christopher looks at Lyudmila. He has been working with Lyudmila for two days. In these two days, the Romanian army has conquered the outer defense line of OSAD and is advancing towards the middle defense line. They have almost always been active on the line of fire. Sometimes when the enemy advances, they even fall behind.

In the past two days, Christopher watched Lyudmila's achievements rise little by little. He has eliminated more than 30 Romanian soldiers, which can be regarded as revenge for his company.

Today, the opportunity is very good. So many Romanian soldiers are in their own field of vision. Don't they just kill one or two and withdraw?

However, Lyudmila has been aiming for half an hour, but there is still no movement.

For snipers, the most important thing is patience.

If only one or two Romanian soldiers were killed, it would certainly be easy, but in that case, her position would be exposed. Lyudmila would not waste her good opportunity.

That tank once attacked the position of her company. For the company she just went to the battlefield, only she and Christopher around her survived. She wants revenge!

At the same time, tankers are more valuable than ordinary infantry. Now, she is waiting for this opportunity to kill German tankers!
