The soldier who spoke saw the opportunity and jumped onto the side skirt of the tank. He smiled and said to Li Qing: "I am exhausted after walking for a day, so don't mind giving me a ride!"
"Whatever you want!" Li Qing turned around and said to the soldiers with a smile.
The old-looking soldier was overjoyed when he heard this, and continued to greet the soldiers in the team. Soon, there were seven or eight people hanging on the small body of the Type I C car, all of them smiling and making faces while greeting the soldiers who were still walking. .
Li Qing also looked at them with interest, feeling extremely relaxed at this moment.
The soldier stretched out his hand towards Li Qing: "Hello, sir, I am Fassbender, my military rank is First Class Sergeant, and I am the platoon leader of the 3rd platoon of L Company, S Battalion, 3rd Division of the 49th Mountain Army."
Li Qing turned around and shook Fassbender's hand: "You can call me Boss Li, the commander of the tank team behind you!"
Fassbender seemed a bit familiar: "Wow! Boss Li, your name is really strange! I was still wondering if there was something wrong behind the scenes. There has been no supply convoy since noon."
"Well, three supply convoys were robbed. The enemy was a group of more than 300 defeated troops. We spent a lot of effort to eliminate them!"
Li Qing no longer wants to explain the name. Everyone will ask this question when they hear it. Therefore, it is true that a lie requires countless lies to complete it. It is really tiring to explain!
Fassbender opened his mouth in surprise: "Wow, so the enemy has a battalion of troops? You wiped them out just by yourself?"
"Only more than two hundred people were killed and more than a hundred escaped, but they have been dispersed..." Li Qing answered casually.
"You guys are really amazing. How did you do it?"
"There are two supply trucks at the back dragging 88 cannons behind them, plus someone in the convoy happens to have used them! So... that's it!"
"Wow! 88-gun? That group of defeated troops was really unlucky. The 88-gun made a big splash when it hit the Gallic Chicken. I saw with my own eyes that those big guys were very powerful when they used force!" Fassbin De couldn't help smacking her lips in excitement.
"Oh? Have you participated in the battle against Gallic Chicken?" Li Qing couldn't help turning her head and glanced at Fassbender. He was still a veteran!
"Yes! But we didn't play a big role at that time. Just like now, we were always chasing the tank in front..." Fassbender said and couldn't help laughing.
Li Qing also laughed when he heard this.
At this time, Monkey, who was driving a tank, interrupted loudly: "Haha, this is interesting, isn't it? Let me ask you something, do you know where the 14th Armored Division of the 46th Armored Corps is now?"
Fassbender was a little surprised: "What? You are from the 14th Armored Division? How come you are so far behind? The 14th Armored Division is the forward, and it may be almost to Sarajevo now. This is so fast!"
"Our team was responsible for encircling and suppressing an enemy entrenched in a canyon, which took more than a day!" Li Qing explained.
Fassbender laughed loudly: "No wonder, the terrain on this road is complicated and there are many hills. It will still cause a lot of trouble for the enemy to hide in it. We also assisted in attacking an enemy position before, so now we are at the end." noodle."
After passing the infantry team, the speed of the convoy on the road was a little faster. Fassbinder and the infantry did not get off the car. According to their words: "Let the team behind walk slowly. You can always take a rest at night." Who can walk when you can take a car..."
Li Qing was noncommittal about this and let them go. The added load of the tank was almost negligible. Looking at the map showing a small village not far away, Li Qing said into the microphone: "There is a village ahead. Today we will Rest there and continue on the road tomorrow, we should be able to catch up with our own team!"
Arriving at the village entrance shortly after dark, I met a group of field military police wearing dog tags. They were checking people coming in and out of the village. Three three-wheeled motorcycles were parked next to them.
Li Qing got off the tank and stepped forward to inquire about the situation alone. Soon after, Li Qing returned to the convoy and asked Bao Shi and Randall to hand over the prisoners and trophies!
After handing over the prisoners and trophies, the tank team and supply convoy also entered the village smoothly. Li Qing looked at the bonfire burning in the village and felt a little more at ease.
Li Qing thought about it for a moment, and then said into the microphone: "Let's park the tank in the village square. Later, Monkey will take a few people to the logistics area to see if there is anything delicious. Get some food and let's have a celebration party." , Randall and I will find an empty house, so as not to disturb the village residents and garrison!"
Hearing Li Qing's words, everyone cheered immediately. Li Qing believed that in tense wartime, occasional relaxation is still very necessary...
Soon after, the team members gathered in an empty room away from the square and started having dinner with smiles on their faces.
The main meal was a few cans of beef that Monkey brought from the logistics department, along with a small keg of beer, which made everyone very satisfied. In bad times, pleasing yourself is the way to go in life. If you are unhappy, eat and drink. Your heart and stomach should always be full.
The sky always dawns so quickly, and the happy time is always so short. When the fish belly turns white in the east, the sky gets bright.
The golden sunlight in the morning dappled through the treetops, illuminating the fresh green on the treetops.
The morning in early spring was still a bit cool. A dead leaf was flying in the wind, falling down from time to time, resting in a corner for a while, floating up again, stumbling and walking crazily, and finally got stuck in a dead yellow shrub somewhere. Still shaking from the wind.
The ashes of a bonfire in the village square were cold. The heavy tank tracks slowly made two deep ruts, making strange creaking sounds.
The sun is shining brightly and the spring is just right. On the east side of the north-south road is a flat and empty wasteland with potholes and messy bushes and grass. On the west side, the terrain is slightly higher and slightly undulating. Near a gentle slope, the road heads slightly eastward. After turning a small slow bend, the road turned into a long arc.
The terrain is open and the field of vision is pretty good. There are one or several teams traveling at intervals on the road, occasionally mixed with some trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles, trying hard to catch up with the team in front.
When the tank team passed by, occasionally some soldiers who wanted to be lazy would take the opportunity to hang on the tank and walk for a while, just to save themselves a few steps.
Not long after, Randall's voice came over the radio: "Sir, I think we need to speed up. The Yugoslav military has shrunk its defense line and withdrawn all the troops along the way back to Sarajevo. They said they have set up a centralized defense line near Sarajevo. , intending to focus on defending some core positions, our forwards have already engaged the enemy, and we need to rush to support!"
