The difficulty of Arden forest has actually been expanded. Although this kind of primitive forest is quite dense, it is not impossible to open up a road in the forest.

Just because the road is narrow and long, the whole team is like a long snake array. The team is 150 kilometers long. That is to say, when the first armored division in front has left the forest, the Last Armored Division has not entered the forest!

It was dark again outside, and Dietrich's first armored division stopped temporarily to replenish fuel.

Like previous tanks, Panther 3 tank uses diesel engine, which brings good endurance. After crossing the whole Arden area, Panther 3 tank consumes less than half of its fuel.

If they continue to move forward now, it is entirely possible, but they are waiting for a better impact in the future.

Treg opened the fuel barrel from the rack behind the tank.

When starting this time, various problems had been considered in advance. For example, it would be quite a long road to open up in the forest, and the supply team was left behind. In this case, they need to solve the supply problem by themselves.

Therefore, before departure, each tank was temporarily refitted. For example, a rack was welded on the back of the tank, which can accommodate two 170 liter oil drums!

In later generations, the oil barrel is a common thing. No one knows that the oil barrel was actually invented by the Germans.

With the construction of Germany's mechanized army, German tanks, armored vehicles and so on need fuel to be transported quickly.

Ordinary means of transport, that is, oil tankers, have many problems. In order to improve the logistics supply capacity of the army, the Germans creatively designed oil drums.

Before the invasion of Poland, there were tens of thousands of oil barrels.

In the successful blitz across Europe at the beginning of World War II, the design of oil drums was regarded as a major part and strictly confidential.

For example, now, if there is no oil tank, they need to wait for the supply vehicle behind them, and the six wheel all drive off-road vehicle for supply is not as smooth as the crawler when crossing the Arden area.

Two barrels of oil, enough to refill the tank, Treg opened the cover of the tank, stuffed a rubber tube, and then stuck his mouth on it.

With a strong suction, the fuel inside was sucked out, and then the other end of the pipe was plugged into the open body fuel tank cover.

The fuel flowed out of the pipe and gurgled into the fuel tank. While Treg filled his tank, the others were preparing nervously.

Check the tightness of the track, and check whether the fire control system of the tank, especially the infrared headlights and other peripherals, are scratched during the process of crossing the forest. Pull out the retracted radio antenna. During such routine maintenance, the sky slowly darkened.

Another night has come!

Along the way, the tank soldiers hardly rested, but their strong will supported them. Each of them was very excited. They completed a feat!

In front is the land of the French!

Tidy up and wait for the next order. Every tank soldier leaned against his tank, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Behind them, the rumbling sound was still echoing, and the follow-up troops were constantly moving.

"Attention, prepare for attack, target, color!" A voice sounded on the field outside the open woods.

Attack, it's about to start!

When the sound sounded, everyone jumped up from the ground, and they ran back to their tanks.

Trig returned to his position and quickly pressed the button. In the sound of compressed air, the rear engine was started smoothly!

The diesel engine has large torque and it is difficult to start at the same time. Therefore, the diesel engine of Panther tank has two systems to start, compressed air and electric start. In intermittent combat, compressed air is used. Once the time is too long, the compressed air leaks and the air pressure decreases, electric start is used.

The unique sound of the diesel engine came from the tail. Turn on the infrared headlights and preheat for two minutes. The vision in front was gradually clear. The conductor nespell shouted, "go ahead, straight ahead!"

Although there is only one receiving device for the night vision system, they have been very skilled in training these days. Moreover, there is a sparse moonlight tonight, and they can see more than ten meters away.

One, two, tanks are constantly moving, forming an attack queue. The first armored division of the armed SS is about to become the first army to attack France!

In the dark night, they showed their pouring mouths.

In half an hour.

In the night vision instrument, the outlines of targets appeared one by one. He picked up his radio and nespel reported to his superiors: "cavalry unit found."

Obviously, the other party has heard the movement of their own armored forces, but they must be very strange at this time. What's this sound?

No one will know that the German tank troops crossed the mountains. They probably thought they were their friends.

In that case, just rush over!

Sure enough, the radio officer quickly replied to the company commander's order: "rush up!"

Rush up! Now that the order has been given, you're welcome.

When the driver stepped on the accelerator, the engine at the tail made a huge roar, and the Panther 3 tank roared up!

The horses were neighing, and a dozen cavalry were stopping their horses. Their ears could hear the roar in the distance.

What is it? It's not the sound of the plane, but the sound from the ground. However, it's different from the sound of our own vehicles.

Diesel engine needs high-pressure oil pump, which is compression ignition type. Therefore, the vibration during operation is greater, and there is a clatter sound from the high-pressure oil pump.

These cavalry are from the 2nd cavalry division of France. They are scouts.

After receiving the order, the 2nd Cavalry Division was ready to rush to Belgium. After arriving here, it was already dark, so they simply camped temporarily and waited until tomorrow.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, they sent scouts around to investigate, and this team of scouts just found something in the distance.

It sounded so loud that even the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel uneasy and hissed low.

"It may be our friendly army. Go up and have a look." Finally, the leader of the Scout team made up his mind. What are you afraid of? Just go up and have a look?

His legs picked up his horse's belly and prepared to continue galloping. At this time, a sharp eyed soldier saw the light spot suddenly lit up in front of him.

"Machine gun!" He shouted.

Almost at the same time, the sound of the other party's tank machine gun rang.

"Dada... Dada..." the other party has opened fire!
