Li Qing returned a military salute to Zalmut: "Hello, Sergeant Major Zalmut, I need your help with something here. My team members don't know much about the infantry's way of controlling corners during street fighting. , I wonder if you can explain and demonstrate to them?"

Zalmut's eyes lit up: "Sir, I have to say this is a good idea. However, I have never seen a tank use this method. It's hard to say whether it will be effective. Besides..." Zalmut said He took off the M35 steel helmet on his head and scratched his messy hair with his hands: "I know how to do it, but if I were asked to explain it, I might not be able to explain it very well..."

"This is not a problem, as long as they can understand it." Li Qing comforted him. Many soldiers were like this. They could do things very well, but it was a pity that they were not good at speaking. After all, there were still few people like Mustache.

Zalmut put on his helmet again and looked at a group of young team members: "Okay then! I'm going to demonstrate and simply talk about it. Just count as much as you can understand!"

Zalmut walked slowly in front of a group of people, looked at the ground and thought for a while, then raised his head again: "In street fighting, you must learn to use the corners. Street fighting is a battle for the corners. Whoever can control the corners will win." We can get the upper hand. Here, we have to learn to use this rocky corner. Now I will sum up the infantry’s experience in controlling the corner and show it to you. You can see if it is useful. "

After finishing speaking, Zalmut took off the 98K on his back and held it in his hand, walked to another corner of the cliff, leaned against the cliff, and said to a group of people: "I am here now. Assume that the situation on the right side is unknown. , so what should we do?”

Zalmut cat lowered his waist, held the gun, and moved forward against the cliff on the right. When it reached the corner, when its body and the muzzle of the gun were about to poke out of the corner, it first crawled down, and then used its legs and elbows to move towards the corner. Move to the left, so that the body lying on the ground becomes gradually perpendicular to the cliff on the other side, almost parallel to the direction of the corner you want to pay attention to.

"Do you understand? Now I have mastered most of the field of vision in front of me. If I tilt my head slightly outward, or move my body slightly outward, I can see the whole situation. There are no more blind spots, and I can shoot at any time. You can roll over and hide when you find something wrong." Zalmut explained as he turned over and hid in the corner, then got up and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing applauded and praised: "Sergeant Major Zalmut, your explanation and demonstration are very good! Thank you for your help. If our tactics are effective this time, I will definitely take credit for you!"

Zalmut was very excited when he heard this and even said thank you.

Li Qing called out to Monkey, who was watching the excitement: "In general, street fighting is actually a battle for vision. Monkey, combined with what Zalmut just said, explain to everyone the angle of the tank card!"

"I'll go... why don't you tell me? It's not like you don't know how to do it. Why did you drag me..." The monkey was busy watching the excitement, but he didn't expect Li Qing to pull him out. Unprepared, he was a little dumbfounded and turned towards Li Qing. Hold up a finger.

However, Li Qing called his name, and it seemed that it wouldn’t be good if he didn’t come out and embarrass himself, so he had no choice but to walk to the corner where Zalmut demonstrated just now: “The angle at which a tank gets stuck is actually similar to fighting for a corner in a street fight, but the specific The operation methods are still different. First of all, everyone should know that tanks are not as flexible as humans and cannot move sideways like humans. However, tanks also have their own uses. When the tank is stuck at an angle, it must leave enough space for itself to move forward and dodge; Secondly, everyone knows about ricochet, and research has shown that when bullets or artillery shells hit a steel plate tilted at a certain angle, it is easy to cause ricochet. This is the key point we want to take advantage of."

Facing the cliff, the monkey raised his right hand and straightened: "Suppose I am a tank now. The direction of my finger is in front of the tank body. This is the gun barrel. I first need to roughly estimate the enemy's location, and then Place the tank at an angle of 20-30° in a direction perpendicular to the enemy, and then slowly exit the corner at this angle. This way, the side of the tank is exposed to the enemy's sight at an angle of 20-30°. Even if it is attacked by Hitting the side also has a high chance of causing a ricochet.”

Monkey stretched out his arms and gestured to retreat while explaining: "When the tank retreats to a certain position and the artillery exits the cover and can hit the enemy, in fact, most of the tank's body is still blocked by the cliff, and one part of the tank is exposed. Most of the small parts have sloping sides. At this time, there is a high probability that the enemy will not be able to directly penetrate our tanks. At this time, we can seize the opportunity and quickly fire to destroy the enemy."

"Another advantage is that, just like infantry rolling, if a danger is discovered, the tank can quickly drive vertically forward into the corner to avoid it. Of course, the side armor of our Type I tank destroyer is not thick, so at most It can only be effective against some small-caliber artillery that does not penetrate deeply enough. If it encounters a large-caliber artillery, doing so is equivalent to death!" The monkey finally walked forward to the position where he started to retreat to finish the explanation.

After watching the monkey explain, Li Qing said: "This tactical action will have higher requirements on the driver. If you find something is wrong, you need to dodge immediately. Fortunately, our destroyer has a relatively fast shooting speed. If it only faces a single target, , as long as you knock out the enemy as quickly as possible, the danger is not too great!"

Finally, Li Qing looked at everyone: "There are many targets, and the three Panzer I tank destroyers need to come in rotation! Now, who wants to try it first? I will cover you with a machine gun behind you and guide you to attack the target. "

Everyone hesitated for a while and whispered to each other for a while. The commander of the No. 178 car, Hilmer, raised his hand hesitantly: "Sir, I think we can try it first!"

Li Qing stared at Hilmer and then said: "Okay, you can set an example for everyone. Don't worry. The enemy does not have heavy firepower. Just follow my command. I think safety can be guaranteed. You just need to follow it later." My machine gun ballistic guidance is enough to use artillery to knock out the enemy's position."

Then he looked at the others and said: "Those who don't have tasks should stay away and observe and study carefully. It will be your turn later. Pay attention to safety!"

With the help of Li Qing and Monkey, the No. 178 I tank destroyer finally got the angle right. Then the two of them got on their No. I C type and positioned the No. 178 tank destroyer at the same angle more than ten meters away.

After everything was ready, Li Qing drove the others far away, got into the turret and closed the hatch. He checked the enemy position on the system map again, and then ordered Monkey to drive the tank and start to retreat slowly.
