The monkey insisted on snatching the microphone to chatter a few words, so Li Qing had no choice but to hide and comfort the monkey: "Okay, okay, I'll see you when I get back. I have business to do right now, and I don't have time to spank you and chat."
After finally calming down the monkey, Li Qing pressed the call button: "Call Randall, call Randall, this is Boss Li, please answer if you hear me!"
"This is Randall, got it, boss Major Li, you were really cool just now. You punched the enemy through. Everyone said you are tough guys and regard you as their idol!" came the message from the headset! Come Randall's excited voice.
The monkey scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously. If he hadn't been in the tank, he could jump to the sky and shout loudly. It was all his fault. If he was to be tough, he was the first, and Li Qing could only be the second toughest.
Li Qing was speechless again. You can't praise this shameless monkey on the radio, right? I can't afford to lose that person. In order to make the monkey stop, Li Qing agreed to a series of unequal treaties, promising that he could brag as much as he wanted afterwards, and that Li Qing would cooperate unconditionally to appease the monkey.
"How is the situation of the team? Are there any losses?" After a while of banter, Li Qing picked up the phone and asked Randall.
After a pause, Randall's voice came over: "The team has not suffered any losses. We are relatively far away. The enemy does not know our exact position most of the time. It is just that we are constantly changing places and consume a lot of fuel." , the spare oil barrels are all empty, I have to find an opportunity to replenish the fuel, and the ammunition has been consumed by nearly one-third, but this is not a big problem, and I can still handle smaller battles!"
The body of the Panzer I tank destroyer is heavier, as can be seen from the fact that its maximum road speed can only be 40 kilometers. It is normal for a small horse-drawn cart to have high fuel consumption. I asked the monkey, and the Panzer I C model does not have much fuel. It seems that we need to find an oil supply point to replenish oil.
Instruct Randall to direct the team to wait for Neisser to take over the position, and then gather at a location next to the position. Li Qing and Monkey climbed out of the tank and walked around the tank. They looked at the dense bullet marks and bullet holes on the tank. One of the rifle bullets was still embedded in the steel plate of the side skirt. Both of them were frightened and complained to each other. They all decided unanimously that they would never die like this again, it was too scary.
Soon after, news came over the radio that the position had been successfully taken over, and 42 enemy people had been captured, 3 of whom were seriously injured, and the others were more or less injured. It should be emphasized that the enemy's major battalion commander was captured, this unlucky officer. A bullet penetrated his thigh. This is probably why the opponent surrendered instead of retreating.
When they arrived at the meeting point, the team led by Randall also arrived. After everyone got off the car, they all gathered together, chatting and laughing, bragging, especially the monkey, whose nostrils were turned up in the air, and for those who didn’t know, he thought he was sleeping. Stiff neck.
Randall was reporting the results of the battle to Li Qing. Generally speaking, it was pretty good. Each of the three Panzer I tank destroyers had achieved successes. The 178th vehicle destroyed an enemy T-26 tank and had several machine gun bunkers. It was bad luck. The 403 vehicle destroyed one enemy T-26 tank, one 47mm anti-tank gun, and several machine gun bunkers; the 716 vehicle had the best luck, destroying two enemy T-26 tanks, one 47mm anti-tank gun, and several machine gun bunkers. .
Li Qing asked Randall to make detailed records, which would be signed and confirmed by the two of them and Neisser. This would be needed when reporting the results. It was related to the achievements of each crew in the team and could not be careless.
It was not the time to celebrate yet. Li Qing told everyone to rest where they were and take advantage of this time to eat something for breakfast. He asked Monkey to take charge of the team's affairs for the time being, and then led Randall to climb up to the position behind him to find Neisser. Neisser was currently busy in the position he had just taken over. Except for the soldiers in H Company who were guarding and guarding the prisoners, everyone else was busy cleaning the battlefield. The harvest was always satisfying.
Neisser was drooling while touching a 47mm anti-tank gun that survived on the position. This was a 43-caliber 47mm Czech-made anti-tank gun. It was the same as the artillery installed on the No. 1 tank destroyer of Li Qing's team. One thing, the Czech version is called the Vz36 type, and the Yugoslav version is named the M37 type. Compared with the two PAK 37mm light anti-tank guns in the Neisser team, it is not much better. The soldiers even gave the PAK 37mm light anti-tank gun the ironic code name of "troop stepping stone/tank knocker", which means that when it cannot penetrate, it can only make the enemy listen.
The two 47mm anti-tank guns on the position just now were taken care of by three rounds of HE high-explosive bombs. One was directly destroyed and scrapped, and most of the soldiers operating the other were blown away. There was a lack of skilled operators, so no one continued to move forward. Minato, or perhaps just lucky, this 47mm anti-tank gun was well preserved after intensive shelling.
Neisse looked at another blown-up 47mm anti-tank gun again with regret, and reluctantly turned his eyes to Li Qing and the two who were walking over, with a smile on his dirty face: "It's so wonderful to see you again. I'm so happy, Major Boss Li. Thank you very much for your help, which allowed our Company H to capture these two positions without casualties. We all admire your heroic performance..."
Quickly stopping Neisser's flattering behavior, Li Qing said with a smile on her face: "Lieutenant Neisser, you are too polite. This is what we should do. The person next to me is Meyer Randall, the intelligence staff officer from the division. Lieutenant, you should have communicated on the radio, we came to you to ask about your next plan."
Neisser and Randall smiled and saluted each other, and Neisser said: "Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Randall. I am Neisser, the commander of Company H, with the rank of lieutenant. I have been communicating with you on the radio. Now I finally meet the real person, he is indeed a talented person..."
Why didn't I realize that Neisser was a chatterbox before, and he was also very good at flattering him? His position as company commander couldn't have come from flattering, right? Seeing Randall's face burst into laughter, Li Qing couldn't help but wonder. The side secretly complained.
Seeing the two people's endless politeness, Li Qing quickly interrupted: "Okay, no more gossip, Lieutenant Neisser, we are here to ask you what your next plan is and do you need our help? ?”
"What's the next plan? We don't have it yet. I have reported the situation here to the staff. The staff has not given us any new orders yet. It just asks us to guard these two positions first. We may have to wait for the follow-up. The troops are coming to take over here. These prisoners are too troublesome and will only block our way forward!" Neisser had a strong desire to join the war and was a bit resentful. Li Qing was also noncommittal about this.
