Chapter 1806 Battlefield Prayers

Indeed, as the squad leader said. Reading

There were hundreds of German bastards at the bottom of the slope. One of the important reasons why they didn't realize that they were being watched by two pairs of eyes at the top of the slope behind them was that they were busy packing up their things and didn't even bother to look back.

Not being discovered was a good thing, which meant that the covert operation was still going on, and it would be a great advantage if an assault was needed.

However, the main problem was not this, but the lack of troops.

No matter how you look at it, the German bastards at the bottom of the slope were at least a battalion of hundreds of troops, and they also carried the unknown heavy weapon that I had seen for the first time: a short-barreled self-propelled artillery with a fully enclosed armored configuration. If the big thick barrel fired accurately, it would definitely wipe out the two squads of their own instantly, even if they were not completely killed, most of them would be killed.

And the German bastards at the bottom of the slope had at least thirty or forty cannons that looked fierce enough. And this is just a rough calculation after a quick look. The actual number will be much higher than this.

Watching these Germans run away without doing anything is definitely not the best choice. In fact, as long as there are any other ways to use it, it is absolutely not the best choice. Watching so many important Germans run away is a big loss.

The most urgent thing is to quickly think of a way that can be used immediately and not drag on for too long. The only possible option to deal with these Germans at the bottom of the slope is to summon the large troops that are still dealing with the battlefield cleanup work to come quickly. Mark the current position and rush here specifically, and get there as quickly as possible before the Germans run away.

The platoon leader, who was leaning against the back of the slope with his AK in his arms, thought that this was the only feasible solution, but how to summon the large troops immediately was a troublesome problem.

It is true that my platoon is indeed a pioneer reconnaissance platoon. On weekdays, we do dangerous work such as hiding secretly and catching German tongues in the middle of the night to torture intelligence. It is no exaggeration to say that we have outstanding combat effectiveness and are fearless.

But if you want to talk about instant communication and establish effective contact with the main force to report the situation immediately, this troublesome thing is completely at a loss.

In this day and age, there is no popularization of individual radios and no satellite phones. If you want to contact the main force in the rear immediately, you must at least have a radio station that can connect to the inter-vehicle radio channel of the tanks, but where can you find a shitty radio station at this time? How can there be such a thing in this damn place?

Send someone to run to report the news?

It is feasible in normal times, but the trouble is that this is not normal times. The last precious time is tight and it may go out at any time like a candle in the wind.

If we really send someone to deliver the message and wait for the main force to attack, I can't say that all the Germans below will run away. With the mechanization level, it shouldn't be a big problem for half of them to run away. This is obviously not the best result.

What to do? What the hell should we do! ? Suka!!!

The anxious platoon leader hugged the AK in his arms tightly and wanted to roar and curse on the spot. He had never been so anxious in such a long battle.

But just when his eyes accidentally glanced around, the platoon leader who was so anxious that he wanted to jump all over the ground suddenly saw a very strange thing on the waist of the squad leader who was standing next to him.

That thing had a very familiar appearance. He had seen it more than once before, but generally speaking, he didn't see it often. Relatively speaking, there were not many opportunities to see it.

As for the reason, it was just because it was a captured German weapon, not the Soviet army's own equipment, and it was not a very powerful thing with lethality, but a tactical equipment.

"What else is on your waist? Is it a German smoke pipe?"

"Small smoke pipe" is the name given to this inconspicuous German super-caliber pistol by the Red Army soldiers.

It looks like a pistol but can fire super-caliber smoke bombs. The principle is a bit similar to the Japanese grenade launcher, but it is smaller and more convenient than the grenade launcher and can be carried like a real pistol.

For the reconnaissance troops whose tactical needs are far more diverse than those of ordinary infantry troops and whose tactical changes are complex, this thing is much more popular than other captured German weapons. After all, who doesn't like a small pistol that can fire smoke bombs and has a fixed trajectory to find, which is far more reliable and convenient to carry than hand-thrown smoke bombs?

In response to the sudden inquiry of the platoon leader, the squad leader who blinked and took out the thing on his waist spoke up.

"The one I found in the wreckage of the German Tiger King last time has never been replaced. Why are you asking this?"

Indeed, this kind of inconspicuous little item is generally used more by German armored soldiers. Just open the hatch to fire smoke bombs around the car body to create a concealed smoke screen effect. This is a magic weapon when you need to retreat and run away. It is not surprising to find this thing in the wreckage of the already valuable Tiger King tank.

Unlike the squad leader with a puzzled expression, the expression on the platoon leader's face can be described as "ecstatic".

"That's it! We need this! How much ammunition do you have?"

"Not much, just three rounds. This thing is still a bit heavy, so I can only carry so much."

Three smoke bombs can be used to save lives when retreating, or to block the enemy's sight and create offensive opportunities when attacking.

However, the platoon leader does not need any of the two common uses mentioned above. He needs another special use that has never been used before, and he needs it now.

"I looked around. Our slope is now the highest point of the surrounding terrain. There is no higher than this! If there is any movement here, the surroundings will definitely be able to see it and have a panoramic view."

"Load the smoke bomb and shoot it diagonally towards the sky! The smoke will begin to disperse in mid-air. Fire all three rounds in a row, quickly!"

""

The squad leader blinked and did not understand the meaning of doing this for a while. He asked subconsciously.

"Then what? Why do you do this?"

The anxious platoon leader obviously disdained and just said too much nonsense, which can be heard from the irritable tone of his answer.

"Then you pray that our large troops can see this thing, understand the meaning, and then rush over to help! If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you down the slope to play with the Germans. Hurry up!"
