Chapter 1238 Loading the Train at the Train Station
"Long, rumbling." Amidst the roar of the engine, brand-new Tiger tanks drove in from the gate over there. The tanks had just come off the production line, and there was still a smell of paint on the tanks.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they stared blankly at the tank, full of envy.
For a long time, they have been hoping that they can drive a tank that is truly theirs, instead of driving to other tanks only during training, and they have always been told, be careful, don't break it.
Now, the tank in front of you is your own, and no one can take it away!
There was only one driver on the tank. He drove the tank to the white line, stopped, looked at Hans and his group, and said, "It's so early today? Hey, no, why haven't I seen you before? "
"We're new here." Hans said, and jumped on a tank at once: "Now we'll go out and test right away, hurry up!"
The other talents reacted and jumped on the tank quickly.
A normal Tiger tank needs five people to operate. Now, of course, they can't make up the entire tank group, basically two or three people per tank.
There are a total of six Tiger tanks, enough for their 3rd tank company. When Zwidi got into the turret of the Tiger tank, smelled the special smell emanating from the leather inside, and looked at the brand-new tank, he felt You know, the adventure is worth it!
No matter what punishment will be carried in the future, I recognize it, no one can take these tanks from my hands, and I will bring these tanks to the battlefield!
"Three companies, let's go!"
One after another, the Tiger tanks drove out of the test field. They walked around the test field in a big way, and then found a gap. While the first batch of test tanks were returning, they started outside. the road to escape.
Although it is an uncompromising heavy tank, this tank is definitely light to run.
Relying on the wide track and the advanced diesel engine at the back, after continuous improvement, the current engine can produce more than 800 horsepower, although it will not be comparable to the 1500 horsepower tanks of later generations. , but the mobility is absolutely first-class. For example, even if the factories behind them find out and catch up, they will definitely not be able to catch up.
What's more, it was getting dark outside.
"We go directly to the train station. As long as we catch the chaos and get on the train, no one will be able to go back." Hans said: "Brothers of the 3rd Company, I have to go down halfway."
Hans reached out his hand without hesitation this time. In fact, it has nothing to do with him. He is in the 2nd company. He operates a rat tank. Now that he does not return, he may be wanted as a deserter. The battalion commander reports that the 3rd company is going directly to the train station!
When Hans returned to the station, he was scolded by the battalion commander: "There are only six people in a tank, and you are escaping from labor!"
Seeing that the tank with more than one meter wide track was removed and replaced with a narrow track, which has been installed on a special flatbed truck for transport, Hans's face showed a sincere apology: "I'm sorry, battalion commander, I and I Some comrades from the 3rd Company celebrated that we were about to go out, and some of the 3rd Company had already gone to the train station, so we don't have to wait for them."
The rat tank is quite wide. When transferring for a long distance, because the width of the train is not enough, the rat tank must be removed and replaced with narrow tracks before it can get on the train.
At the same time, when transferring to the railway station, a special flatbed vehicle is also used. For the rat tank, its motorized hours are limited, and it can only be invincible when it is on the battlefield. flatbed truck.
Changing the track is an absolute physical task, and it requires the cooperation of six people. At this time, Hans actually ran away, and it was right to be scolded. What's more, the battalion commander smelled alcohol in Hans' mouth. Son, he became even more angry: "Hans, what you did today, I will remember it for you first, and when you come back from the war, let's calculate it together!"
The rat tank weighs 150 tons. Its tractor trailer is a special guy with more than 100 wheels. At the same time, the front tractor is also a special 8*8 drive off-road tractor.
The speed of action is not fast. Fortunately, soon after coming out of the training ground, it is a wide and flat asphalt road. After getting on the road, the speed will pick up.
When we arrived at the train station, it was already midnight.
"Quick, load the truck, be careful!" Commander Mark commanded loudly as he watched the rat tank get off the trailer.
For other tanks, you can get on the flatbed sideways, and then adjust the front and rear a few times, and the car body will be parallel to the flatbed, but the rat tank cannot.
It is necessary to use a special slope to go straight from the last trailer in parallel. Every step is careful. At this time, it is a big test for the driver's skills.
The narrower the track is, the more dangerous it is. If you are not careful, it will fall off the flatbed.
Hans looked at his commander, Kurt, and stood in front of him, instructing the driver to drive up steadily. When the entire rat tank drove up, the train squeaked.
"Everyone push hard and push the trolley over!" Coote shouted to his subordinates after jumping out of the car.
push! The young guys, bent over, pushed the flatbed, slowly forward.
With the above rat tank, the entire flatbed vehicle exceeded 170 tons, and the smooth track made the sound of metal friction, and everyone tried their best.
This flatbed was taken off individually, and now they need to push it onto the train in front, hang it together, and at the same time, push another flatbed over and move the other rat tanks up, and that's it, little by little ground loading.
The loading and unloading of the rat tank is cumbersome, and at the station, it is quite troublesome to use the tractor to dispatch, it is better to use manpower to push it now.
(I remember hours later, Huadong Zhixiong also saw people at the station pushing the train by hand, but now there are no more.)
As the flatbed gradually moved forward, the train in front was seen, which was also a flatbed, and other tanks had already been installed on it.
The battalion commander Mark looked at the truck in front of him, a doubt flashed in his mind, something was wrong, the truck in front belonged to the 3rd company, but why was it equipped with a Tiger tank?
Although the camouflage net has been covered, he can still recognize it at a glance. It is indeed a tiger tank. Under the illumination of the light, the outline is so clear, what is going on?
When Hans went out in the afternoon, he immediately asked battalion commander Mark to connect everything, and could not help shouting loudly: "Hans, come down! Tell me what's going on? Where's the 3rd company commander?"
