Chapter 157 This is also a fate

"Retreat! Brothers, retreat!"

In the boundless ruins, Lin Neng shouted loudly to the soldiers beside him. These were not all directly under his command, but his calmness, his calmness and even his loud voice had become the guidance of trust from these German soldiers. The powerful enemy was facing, and the power of the explosion was roaring and even the light of the explosion was shocking. However, they did not flee backwards in a swarm, but instead retreated in an orderly manner and covered each other, especially the night soldiers carrying square battery boxes, who certainly did not let them shoulder the dangerous burden of breaking the back.

The order in the dilemma should have made any commander feel sincerely relieved, but for a long time, what Lynn shouted the most was probably "retreat" and "retreat". As a commander, who would not be willing to shout "attack" and "forward" with high spirits?

As the infantrymen acted, the two heavy tanks of the "Tiger King" who remained as stable as steel turrets in the enemy's artillery fire also retreated. Amid the extremely noisy roar, the heavy steel tracks sounded clanging, and the bricks and gravels on the body of the car also slid down one after another. The scene looked quite imposing. In order to avoid being killed by the opponent during the retreat, the German tankers kept the body and turret forward as much as possible after the vehicle was driven out of the ruins, and retreated for about twenty meters. They fell into the broken streets and alleys between the two major streets in turn. The side-by-side combat line turned into a column in front and one behind, but not a completely straight line column, but one in front was close to the left of the street and alley, and the one behind was close to the right. No matter which direction the enemy combat vehicles appeared, at least one could obtain protection from the terrain.

The "Tiger King" who followed the palace, Lin En had to pay attention to the movements in the ruins in front of him and the situation of the soldiers from time to time. Instead, he ignored the frequent occurrence of garlic mixing under his feet. This street can usually accommodate two cars to pass by, but thanks to the fierce bombing of the Allies, the rubble fragments basically filled the steps between the sidewalk and the roadway, thus widening the driving space of the street in disguise. There are still many three or four-story buildings on both sides of the street. At first glance, Baroque flavor is very good, but these buildings have no exception to the charred and bleak color. The window glass is gone. Except for some metal window frames that are resistant to high temperatures, the other door holes and windows are only large holes in various shapes. Under the night, it seems that all kinds of ghosts opened their mouths and wanted to swallow any living person passing through the streets.

After the German retreat, the artillery fire from the Soviet army did not rage the empty ruins for a long time. They obviously noticed the "disappearance" of the German blocking fire. Linn soon saw some cautious and agile figures from the infrared telescope. Although they exceeded the effective distance of the infrared night vision instrument, the crisscrossing artillery fire and the light provided by the flares that pierced the night sky from time to time in the distance were enough to conduct inaccurate observations. As Linn expected, a "swoosh" sound came in a terrifying roar and instantly hit a building on the right side of the streets and alleys. The flames produced by the explosion illuminated the figures of some German soldiers in an instant. The huge cement and stones fell down, as if this area was under the most violent earthquake.

"Please avoid!" Someone spoke German and loudly reminded his companions, but fortunately no soldiers passed by there - but not everyone had the life to survive in this dangerous battlefield. With the short and sharp "swish" screams, powerful shells followed one after another. More buildings collapsed and shattered in such a means of destruction that was more violent than earthquakes. The cement blocks of large and small and polished natural stone used by the builders made the streets and alleys seem to be hit by hail. The person hit was in pain at the least, injured at the worst, and some were even knocked out directly. In this case, the thick bodies of the two tiger kings became the only shelter that the soldiers depended on, but during the reversing process, the tank driver without the guidance of the rearview mirror could not observe it.

In the square situation, amid the extremely harsh metal twisting sound, the left side ran over a abandoned garbage truck, and then hit a fire hydrant without water pressure. This is not counting. When the enemy hit the car with a high explosive bomb, the driver probably made an operational mistake due to nervousness, causing the tank to deflect to the right while continuing to retreat, and his butt hit the exterior wall of the building. The tall and thick wall looked like a rotten dead tree trunk, and it fell down with one hit. The falling large pieces of cement hit the "Tiger King" turret and the body of the car, making a sound, making people sweat. You must know that once this big guy with a complex power system is turned off, it will be difficult for even experienced drivers to start it in a short time.

"Hey, Love, come to me!"

Seeing that his dilapidated companion was almost plotted by his own "Tiger King", Lin En shouted loudly in desperation.

Brück did not deliberately disappear at a critical moment, but was almost buried alive by dust dregs caused by Soviet artillery fire. His right leg was also hit hard by cement blocks. Now he was limping when he walked.

After breaking through the wall, half of the "Tiger King" tank was inserted into the building. It stopped immediately, and after a strange sound of rumbling sound, it suddenly started forward. Compared to driving an ordinary car, it was indeed much more laborious to drive the giant weighing sixty or seventy tons. It returned to the streets and alleys, slowly moving forward and turned clockwise, then moved back to the rear gear, driving for a few meters. The driver realized that the position was still not straight enough, so he had to turn clockwise several degrees so that he could smoothly retreat along the streets and alleys without changing the direction.

Lin En was worried after seeing such troubles, but except for the more bricks and stones behind this "Tiger King" and it was completely as if nothing had happened. It was another "Tiger King" who followed the rules and turned off the engine inexplicably two minutes later. Hearing the rumbling sound, almost everyone thought it would restart in the next second. However, as time passed, the big guy seemed to have decided to have a sleep here, and let the driver get off the car and he would not leave.

"It's so deadly!"

Having withdrawn for thirty or forty meters, Lin En could only stare at the "Tiger King" who was extinguished halfway. He picked up the assault rifle and saw two or three blurry black shadows appearing in the ruins of their previous blocking of the T-34 combat squad. As for the number of Soviet soldiers who were difficult to accurately estimate, the ones who were in the forefront of combat reconnaissance seemed to have entered this street - they might have discovered the "Tiger King" parked in the same place, and they would never have been able to stop them from reporting to the Soviet heavy tanks or even artillery units behind.

Faced with such emergencies that may occur at any time on the battlefield, every second of hesitation may lead to the change of hands of tactical initiative. Should we just give up precious heavy equipment and street fighting weapons like this?

This is a question that Lynn cannot decide. He watched another "naughty but healthy" tiger king retreat to the corner of the streets and alleys, calmly hid his butt and most of his body between the two collapsed buildings, which was simply a battle cover tailor-made by the city for it!

With the battle range of the Tiger King, he was able to cover his companions. At this time, more than 20 German soldiers, including Linn's subordinates, had retreated to the vicinity. In addition to those small teams and individuals who fought freely, there were forty or fifty people who could cooperate with the two "Tiger Kings" to block the Soviet army. Linn decided to fight.

"Everyone will occupy the shooting position nearby, and then fire after listening to the sound of cannons!"

After issuing combat commands indiscriminately, Lynn clicked the names of his subordinates alone, asking Tanze to take a sniper rifle to find a remote and hidden position, not shoot people but only spotlights, and asked Tchimeer, who had found a submachine gun to provide close cover; Bruker, Brewer, who was carrying infrared night vision instruments, and Noah, who used an anti-tank bazooka, followed him closely. Next, he walked straight through the streets and alleys, quickly and concealed between the buildings on the right, and led this small team of elite combatants to the diagonal opposite of the "Tiger King" and lurked in standby.
