After setting out on the road again, the atmosphere of the entire tank team clearly relaxed. The monkey drove the tank and gnawed cookies at the same time. His technique was like an acrobat in a circus. Li Qing couldn't stand it anymore and handed the kettle over: " There are tens of thousands of roads, safety is the first priority, driving is irregular, and relatives are in tears... Please drive carefully and don't dig another ditch..."
"I X, Boss Li, you definitely did it on purpose. Why did you ask me to finish my food before leaving? Do you need to be in such a hurry? Do you lack this little time..." Monkey swallowed the biscuits in his mouth with difficulty. Li Qing's throat felt dry just looking at it.
Li Qing said helplessly: "Our 14th Division is the vanguard force. Now it's better. The major forces have rushed ahead of us. When the time comes, let us protect the logistics supply convoy. It will look good or not!"
"It's good to protect the logistics convoy. At least we have food and drink, and we have enough ammunition..."
"Can you please give me a little face..."
"Is there any shame in the logistics team? Don't let me know you! Those cooks will only ruin good things..."
After a while, Randall's voice came from the radio: "Sir, there is a problem with our supplies..."
Li Qing was confused: "What's wrong? Didn't you get enough supplies? Didn't you fill up the fuel?"
"That's not true. We set off with full fuel before departure, and the spare fuel tank was also full." Randall's explanation voice came: "Our... no, a large part of the troops in the front are out of supplies." Our supply line has been attacked by the enemy more than once. Because of this, except for the particularly important troops at the front, the supply of other troops has been limited."
Li Qing's head hurt again, and he had an unpleasant feeling: "These bastards really know how to choose the right time. Where is the location of the attack?"
Sure enough, Randall's answer confirmed Li Qing's guess: "The latest one was three hours ago, not far ahead of us, about 15 kilometers."
"So, there is a mission?" Li Qing's idea of catching up with the troops in front was probably in vain.
"Yes, this mission is not easy. The order from the staff department is for us to annihilate this group of bandits who are blocking the road. Our team is the only one without a mission nearby, and the enemy does not know where it is. Will it suddenly appear at any time?" Randall's words seemed worried: "We can't go all over the mountains and fields looking for the enemy, right? We still have to risk being ambushed by the enemy!"
Li Qing obviously doesn't care. As long as the enemy appears within 5 kilometers of him, he should be able to detect it. The question is: "How big is the enemy? What configurations do they have?"
"Hmm... I'm a little unsure. According to the supply soldiers who escaped, there should be about a battalion of infantry. If it comes to heavy weapons, there should be at least one 47mm anti-tank gun..." Randall's throat was a little dry.
Li Qing and Monkey listened to Randall's words and swallowed at the same time.
Li Qing asked in a dry voice: "The large army has just attacked, how could it miss so many enemies? If the sieve leaks, there is no way to leak it, right?"
"There is a high probability that a large number of remaining small-scale enemies were gathered together. In addition, there was a lack of weapons, equipment and supplies, so we decided to supply them!"
"This is really..." Li Qing had nothing to say.
Randall continued to speak into the microphone: "The location is unknown, the time is uncertain, and the supply line is so long, why do we fight like this?"
"Sir, the only way now is for us to follow a supply convoy, and when the enemy appears, we will do our best to inflict heavy damage on the enemy." The voice of Commander Hilmer of No. 178 came from the radio. This young man's Most ideas.
Randall hesitated: "But in this case, if the supply convoy is used as bait, once the supply convoy is ambushed by the enemy, it will definitely be in danger..."
"As an alternative, are there any supply convoys near us?" Li Qing asked.
"There is no one in front, but there are two supply convoys behind us. They stopped to rest less than 5 kilometers behind us, preparing to wait for us to eliminate the enemy before setting off on the road!"
"You really think highly of us. Let's do this. You contact them and ask them to come and meet us. Let's discuss what to do together. They can't just give us a headache. They should also do something!" Li Qing temporarily stopped talking on the radio. Pointless discussion.
Soon after, two supply convoys stopped on the road not far from the tank team. Two officers got off the convoy, one of whom was an acquaintance, the commander of the supply convoy that had been reinforced before, a fat middle-aged officer.
The fat officer trotted up to Li Qing and saluted him: "Hello! Major Boss Li, I'm glad to meet you again."
Li Qing looked at the fat officer in front of him with a smile on his face. It was always nice to see an acquaintance. The fat officer still looked tired. The corners of his mouth were drooped. His eyes were not big. He squinted and looked like he was not awake. There was still no joy in his smile, it looked like a forced smile.
Li Qing joked: "Hello! Second Lieutenant Bao Shi, you don't look particularly happy!"
The smile on the fat officer's face became even more bitter: "Anyone who always encounters this kind of thing will probably not be too happy..."
"Ha! Ha! Ha! You are much luckier than the previous supply convoys. By the way, why don't you introduce me to the guy next to you?" Li Qing looked at the thin, dark young man who came with Bao Shi.
"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Brigadier Sergeant Gottlieb, who is responsible for leading a supply convoy of the 49th Mountain Army. He is an artilleryman and a good young man." Baoshi turned to look at the black and thin young man. introduced.
"Oh? Are you from an artillery background? Then why are you in charge of supplying the convoy? Do we already have this many artillery?" Li Qing looked at the decadent black and thin young man with curiosity.
The dark and thin young man saluted Li Qing and said loudly: "Hello, sir! I am Gottlieb, my military rank is semi-sergeant major, and I am responsible for leading the ninth supply vehicle team of the X Division of the 49th Mountain Army!"
Putting down his hands, Gottlieb said with a bitter look: "Because he disobeyed military orders in the battle against Gallic Chicken last year, he was demoted one rank and was assigned to the logistics unit of the X Division of the 49th Mountain Army, where he has been until now. !”
Li Qing became even more curious: "Disobeying military orders?"
Bausch said at this time: "During the attack on Gallic Chicken last year, Gottlieb was punished by his superiors for disobeying military orders because he refused to open fire on a village with many innocent civilians. At that time, he was already a sergeant major. Yes, he is a good hand at operating the 75mm Le.FK18 field gun!"
"That's such a pity..." Li Qing could only sigh helplessly. Everyone has his own destiny. Who can tell what is right or wrong: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The configuration of your fleet is what's the situation?"
