Chapter 170 Armored Column

The "Night Leopard" traveling along the highway has a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, which is not fast, but it looks quite powerful. It does not need to avoid the stones scattered on the ground, and it directly runs over unstoppable. In addition to the friction of the tracks, there is a sudden crackling sound.

Walking back to the car, Lin Neng stared at the "Night Leopard" turning slightly at the fork in front. The front of the car faced the street southwest that directly leads to the Havretegel Canal - the retreat route he expected was from that road to the south of the city. Before dark, several bridges on the canal were intact. If nothing unexpected happened, they could still be used by vehicles.

The second and third tanks that followed the steering in the armored queue were also "Night Leopards" equipped with infrared searchlights and night vision instruments. This chariot is wide and has agile posture. The designer seemed to melt the tenacity, precision, ferociousness and cruelty of the Germans into its thick steel body, making it the sharpest land beast of this era!

Amid the loud roar, four ordinary "Black Panthers" followed closely. Except for the absence of night vision equipment, their configuration and painting were exactly the same as "Night Panthers", and they were not equipped with combat infantry like the Soviet army, so they looked very simple and bright. Following behind their butts were five SDKFZ 251 medium-sized half-crawler armored vehicles. The first car-mounted machine gun was equipped with infrared searchlights and night vision goggles similar to "Night Panthers". These equipment Lynn had seen them in the weapons training ground of the headquarters of the "Vampire" commando, so he became extremely curious about the nature and mission of the German armored column in front of him. It should have a very close connection with Laurenz Bach, and even had a great possibility... He himself was in the team!

However, Lin Neng did not choose to open the checkpoint and call on Colonel Bach to bring him with him - at best he had a friendly appreciation and expectation for himself, which extended to the fact that private relationships only belong to very low-level care. If you want to expect the other party to open a back door for yourself at critical moments, it is obviously far from enough to stay close to such a relationship.

The three half-track armored vehicles in the front looked full of combat infantry, and the fourth one had a full circle of loop antennas around the roof. This was obviously an armored vehicle for command and communication, and the fifth one was the anti-tank type with turrets that Lynn had first seen. It had combat support and infantry carrying functions. Then, six No. 4 tanks with long-barreled cannons and armored petticoats drove by one in turn, but this was not all. Two "Black Panthers" and two "Night Panthers" led four half-track armored vehicles to break the back of the long armored column, and one of them was an armored command and communication vehicle equipped with a loop antenna.

When all the vehicles turned at the fork and drove into the southwest street, there was still a rumbling mechanical roar in Lynn's ears.

The gendarmerie riding a motorcycle looked at his watch. After a minute, he could hardly see the trace of the armored convoy in his sight. Then he raised his left hand and said, "You can let go."

This sentence became Lynn's "handle". He quickly started the car and called the military policeman who had previously blocked him to "release". The guy was probably confused by this rare formation and honestly opened the stop stick. At this time, Wolfrum and Brewer, who had already gotten out of the car, quickly moved the wire frame blocking in front, and then jumped directly onto the military bucket truck that Lynn had already started.

He accelerated and drove over the excuse. Before the German soldiers on the opposite side had lifted the wire frame back to their original position, they even turned the steering wheel and came in a beautiful S-shaped shape. They walked through the tail of the checkpoint and chased the armored convoy. They muttered curiously: Goren and Himmler, the second and third figures of the Empire, were ordered to be arrested and removed from their posts by the head of state for "treason". Any general who retreated without authorization was even sentenced to death. When the Berlin defenders fought to the death and were still retreating step by step, which big man could be escorted by such a large number of armored troops?

Before arriving at the Havretegel Canal, Lynn thought hard but still did not have a reasonable answer. After all, the head of state had not taken poison and swallowed the gun, so the behavior of evacuating Berlin in a panic was really not very reasonable.

Seeing that the armored column successfully passed through the bridge on the canal, Lin Neng continued to drive and follow, but this time the officer on duty at the bridgehead sentry was no longer confused. He first took the sentry and strictly checked the identity of each soldier in the car, and then called the City Defense Command to verify the task. This time, the phone was not connected. No matter how hard Lin Neng was, the officer on duty adhered to the order of the City Defense Command to "only enter but not leave" and refused to let go. After more than ten minutes, Lin Neng was finally impressed by this guy's stubborn attitude and turned around and drove east along the canal.

, preparing to try the Gorene Bridge a few kilometers away and the Friedrich Railway Bridge a little further away. However, the cars had just left the bridge head and the shells shot from a distance came roaring. At first, they just landed on the other side of the bridge and on the water of the canal. A moment later, an ordinary howitzer shell was unbiasedly hit the bridge head. The officer on duty who had previously blocked Lynn's passage and several sentries were blown away. Seeing this, Lynn turned back to the bridge head at any time, but heard someone shouting, "The Soviets are here, blow up the bridge."

"Wait for the bridge!" Lin Neng shouted, speeding up across the bridge. The wooden frames with barbed wire had no time to move, and they directly hit the bridge. Fortunately, there were too many people and the inertia was high. Although the military bucket car stumbled a little and the front cover of the car was raised, it still knocked open the wooden frame and drove onto the bridge deck. It was like stepping on the last second in the disaster film to leave the death area. Lin Neng tightened the accelerator and prayed in his heart, "Give me one more second" and listening to the engine roaring in an extremely dull manner, all of which was completely unconscious.

Regardless of the shells that could hit me at any time, and let the violent waves of air blow, my hair and neckline sway wildly, I was determined to drive forward. Fortunately, this canal is not as wide as the Spree River on the other side of the city. The bridgehead on the other side of the river was approaching in a blink of an eye, and it hit the wire and wooden frames again. The front cover of the vw82 military bucket car finally flew out. The front engine was exposed nakedly in front of me, and the heat was warm and steamed out, but it was stubbornly not shutting down...

"Guys, I've all caught it!" Lin En gritted his teeth and shouted, speeding up at the gears, and stepped on the accelerator under his feet. The Soviet army's artillery fire did not come from the south. Looking at the flashing artillery lights in the distance, the artillery position should be in the southeast of the city, and fortunately, the terrible "Katyusha" was not used.

In order to bypass the defensive bunkers built by the defenders with sandbags or even cement, Lin Neng continued to turn the steering wheel frequently - it was not like driving a car, but like driving a bumper car in an amusement park. Although every inch of the space on the car seemed extremely crowded, the passengers still swung helplessly with the rapid turn of the car, and the ones sitting on the side could be thrown down at any time. The more forward, the bleak scene in front of him was more surprisingly similar to what he saw in the eastern part of the city. Many buildings that had survived the long-term bombing of the Allied forces, suffered direct gunfire, bombardment of artillery fire, explosive blasting and even flames in the ground battle between the offensive and defensive sides, were riddled with holes and unrecognizable, and the remains of those in uniform were scattered everywhere in the ruins, and it was difficult to identify under the chaotic night sky.

Dongdong...dadada...

Suddenly hearing the sound of cannons and the roar of machine guns in front of him, Lin Neng seemed to be the middle-aged demon who suddenly removed the spell, and instantly woke up. He quickly slowed down the speed of the vehicle, and the reading of the pointer on the speedometer dropped from more than 70 to 40. However, even at the speed of 40 kilometers per hour, he still felt that it was fast when he felt the danger approaching. Lin Neng quickly reduced the speed to 30. At this time, the light generated by the explosion of the shell could be clearly seen in front of his sight.

Did the armored column encounter Soviet troops before?

Lin En was not surprised by this. After all, Berlin Radio announced the official news a day ago that the capital had been surrounded by the Soviet army and in the name of the head of the empire, he called on all the military and civilians of Berlin to commit glorious battles, thus continuously consuming the Soviet army's forces and cooperating with the army to launch a strategic counterattack from both wings of the front line.

The counterattack theory is just a delusion of a very few people. Lin En only cares about how far the Soviet army surrounded Berlin: whether it was three layers inside and three layers outside, or that it only occupied and blocked the main roads. Whether those remote trails could still pass, or only a low-intensity battle could break through the Soviet blockade and interception. If there were Soviet tanks and heavy troops everywhere, and the power of his own team of troops alone, he could only make full use of the terrain and night cover to have the opportunity to break through on foot.

Hearing the sound of gunfires approaching, and even bullets flew overhead, Lynn stopped the car by the side of the road. Although there were only two types of people on this battlefield - their own people and enemies, it was very dangerous to be blindly involved in the battle. Standing up on the pedal of the car door, he held a binoculars to observe, and Wolfrum and others quickly got out of the car for alert. Judging from the flames of the artillery, the battle mainly occurred between tanks and tanks. The relatively dark light was undoubtedly beneficial to the German side with night vision equipment, but this place has finally been separated from the effective control area of ​​the German army. If it accidentally broke into the area where a large number of Soviet infantry was stationed, the situation would be very unoptimistic!
