Chapter 901 The Broken Down Tank

The T-34 tank uses a diesel engine. For the Soviets, it is not that they do not know how to use it in winter. They are very proficient in burning the engine.

Diesel engines have advantages in this regard. No matter how they are roasted, they are not easy to burn. It is quite scary to roast gasoline engines in winter.

However, that doesn't mean there won't be surprises.

When their tank arrived here, the tank had some trouble and broke down, waiting for the repair truck behind to deliver the tools. As a result, this wait, actually waited for three or four hours!

While waiting, the cooling water of the engine froze. When they were surprised to find that the time was too long, and when they wanted to start the tank to warm up, they found that the engine had been completely scrapped.

In this era, there is no coolant, which is the most common cooling water. When the temperature is lower than zero, it will freeze, and when it freezes, it will expand. As a result, the cylinder liner of the engine will freeze and rot, and the cylinder block needs to be replaced!

This is a complete mess.

This T-34 tank belongs to the latest tank of the armed forces. It must not be thrown into the field like this. Therefore, they waited for the trailer to come over and tow the tank back.

This wait is two days. It is said that the trailer was ambushed and destroyed. They still need to wait for the follow-up trailer.

Fortunately, there was diesel oil left in the tank. They poured the diesel oil onto the dead branches, started a fire, and started to warm up. It was freezing cold.

"It's really a ghost place." At this time, the snow had stopped, but there was still a whistling wind, blowing the branches, constantly rolling up the snow on the ground, making them feel even more cold.

"Actually, if we find another T-34 tank, we will be able to drag us back," said a loader. It was too cold, and he continued to put firewood on the campfire.

"How is that possible? It is said that the losses on the front line are not small, the Finns are still stubborn, and the tanks are not enough for the front line. How can it come to drag us."

The driver said very helplessly.

indeed so.

On the battlefield, the first pursuit is to win the battle.

For the tank troops, if a tank has a mechanical failure, don't think about relying on other tanks to help, let alone imagine that there will be comrades staying to take care of yourself, it's all solved by yourself!

There are often lonely tanks. After repairing the tank and returning to the army alone, it is impossible to take care of one tank and catch another tank.

"We have to guard against the Finns' guerrillas. Targets like ours are the most easily targeted by the guerrillas." The commander continued.

When they found that the tank could not move, they removed the machine gun on the tank and kept it at hand, just to prevent accidents.

In fact, the captain also knew that if the bonfire was extinguished, it would prevent the Finnish partisans from being discovered, but if the bonfire was extinguished, they would all freeze to death.

"Buzz, buzz." At this moment, on the road behind, the sound of the engine sounded, and the ground seemed to tremble along with the sound.

"It's our troops here, take a look and see if it's our tank rescue vehicle!"

The other party didn't turn on the lights. When driving in a war zone, you can't turn on the headlights. At the same time, there is snow everywhere now, so it is not so dark at night. The white snow will reflect light and shine around.

"Hey, here we are!" the loader shouted loudly, and just after shouting, he was reprimanded by the commander: "Pick up your weapons and prepare!"

Prepare? what to prepare? It was clearly coming from behind, and it was the sound of the engine. It wasn't the rescue vehicle of our own. Could it be from the Finns?

"It's too loud, it doesn't sound like a rescue vehicle, listen to me." The commander said while holding up the machine gun removed from the tank and lying on the snowdrift.

"Extinguish the bonfire." He turned his head, the bonfire was still burning, and now, it must be extinguished first!

The gunner kicked the snow beside him with his feet, which soon went out, picked up another machine gun, and lay beside him.

so cold!

A few minutes later, in their field of vision, they finally saw a big guy driving over, not the common T-26 turned waste into treasure, modified tank rescue vehicle, but a bigger guy!

What it is? If it starts, these machine guns are useless at all. Only the main guns of our tanks can destroy the opponent. Unfortunately, the engine of our own is broken and there is no power. Is it possible to shake the turret by hand? Now, no one has the courage to get into that cold iron lump.

"It's a KV-1 tank rescue vehicle!" The gunner's eyes were the best, and he finally saw it clearly.

The KV-1 tank is a heavy tank. In the last battle, it was also destroyed by the Finns. This kind of tank has no speed and no protection, and it is no longer popular.

The improvement continued, and the previous tanks, damaged on the battlefield, were towed back, and some were converted into tank rescue vehicles.

On the rescue car, a voice came from a distance: "Hey, it's freezing cold, you guys hurry up and be quick!"

Although the rescue vehicle came to the battlefield to rescue, but in this weather, people will always be full of complaints.

The captain of the rescue vehicle, pouring vodka into his mouth, shouted to the side, he had already seen the T-34 that broke down.

The KV-1 tank rescue vehicle, getting closer and closer, began to drift on the snow when it was about to touch the tank here.

Old Maozi tanker, driving style has always been rough.

Pulling one side of the operating lever, the crawler was braked to death, and the tank came to a dashing tail on the road, and unexpectedly gave a 180-degree turn.

Next, pull the cable off, hook up, and drag the tank back!

In later generations, tanks were designed with outstanding battlefield repair capabilities, such as entire power modules that could be replaced in minutes using a crane.

But it's not possible now. It will take at least a day or two to get it repaired. It's uncomfortable to repair in the field, so it's better to drag it back.

The commander and others who were on guard in the snowdrift stood up and ran over quickly, ready to hook up and drag the tank back. Finally, it was time!

"Have a sip," shouted the commander of the tank rescue vehicle, raising the vodka in his hand high.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound nearby, and they were immediately attracted by the sound. When they turned their heads, they saw the hot flames over there!

In terms of distance, that is, about 100 meters, looking at the fire, it does not look like an anti-tank gun, but a recoilless gun!

"Attention, there are guerrillas!" Before the commander's words were finished, a dense number of bullets were fired from another direction!
