Chapter 172 The Scarlet Battle

After tricking the Soviet army checkpoint to travel hundreds of meters, Lin En drove to a three-way intersection, and after a little turn, he drove to the south. This is a spacious and straight road, with the isolation zone in the middle still leaving traces of landscape plants. The collapsed street lights should have illuminated the road like giants. Judging from the ruins of the building on both sides, the blocks here were originally neat and orderly and full of modern atmosphere.

The city with dense guns and cannons has been left behind, and there are frequent fierce and dense guns and cannons not far away. Only the avenue in front of me is empty and silent. If it weren't for the gravel and rubble all over the road, Lin Neng could have run here at a very fast speed in the VW82 military "bucket trucks". It's strange that there is no abrupt building around this spacious road, so naturally it will not become the commanding heights of the Soviet army's fire blockade of the city like the buildings before. It is not difficult for breakers with strong strength to grasp the current situation in the southern city and suburbs of Berlin. If they chose to evacuate from this side early in the morning, wouldn't it be possible to reduce a lot of resistance? Is it because of the distance or some other reason?

Lynn had no idea about the answer. Without turning on the light, he could only drive carefully at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. Even so, the slightly larger stones still made the car jump and bump, fully testing the durability of German machinery. In order to prevent the Soviet soldiers who might lurk in the ruins, the car remained silent, and only Wolfrum hummed their completely unfamiliar songs. Some had no lyrics, only light and melodious tunes, and some lyrics were completely different from German. Perhaps like Lynn, other soldiers were also curious about Wolfrum's fluent Russian, but they did not want the invisible atmosphere of racial theory to hurt their close comrades.

If he could drive smoothly, Lin En would not mind fleeing Berlin alone with his men. However, while driving, he suddenly saw a truck that was not on the lights rushed out of the fork on the left. Although he did not collide in the wrong way, he turned to the right quickly, thus maintaining a certain distance from it. At first glance, the guy thought it was "Katyusha", but the carriage was loaded with not a multiple rocket launcher, but a high-power searchlight mounted on the bracket, with several Soviet soldiers sitting next to it. Then, three trucks with similar appearances were connected from the fork. Their slightly curved hood and cab profile were typical Su-style. The carriage had a low baffle, and searchlights were also installed on it, and the wheels were equipped with two fronts and four rears.

Four trucks, relying on the large tire rings, were moving quickly on the street covered with gravel and gravel, and in a short while, they threw Lynn's military bucket truck behind. Looking at their distant figures for a while, Lynn suddenly remembered that when he was in Oraning Fort, these Soviet searchlights almost killed his life. Seeing that they were so hurrying, could they be heading for the German armored troops that broke through?

Even if the German infrared night vision equipment is not the most advanced, it is also the first night battle equipment to be put into practical battlefields in this era. German tanks, armored vehicles and infantry that can skillfully use these equipment are like "vampires", and have unparalleled combat power for battles that occur in dark environments. Traditional battlefield lighting methods such as searchlights and flares can be called natural enemies of "vampires", especially in terms of effective distances, far better than current infrared night vision equipment. It is obvious that once these four high-power searchlights are put into the battlefield, the advantages of the German "night leopard" and night vision armored vehicles will become gone, and may even be disturbed by them, which will greatly affect their own shooting accuracy and cause a fatal reversal on the battlefield situation.

Between selfishness and selflessness, Lynn made a difficult choice—he himself could not tell whether this was driven by intuition or expectations of fate. To be fair, Laurenz Bach's potential safety was only a small factor, but it was indeed taken into account by Lynn.

After the four trucks turned into the fork on the right in front, Lynn drove up and whispered to everyone to "be ready for battle."

Gradually, the sound of guns that had been away at one point gradually became clearer.

There was a clear speed gap with those trucks, and the distance was widening step by step, but this was not a rally race to compete for endurance. After walking two blocks, the four trucks carrying searchlights finally slowed down and stopped by the roadside. Although there were Soviet checkpoints along the way, the sentries obviously regarded the military barrel trucks following behind as the command carriages that their officers were riding, and released them without asking.

Seeing the trucks stopped, Lynn also slowed down and drove into the ruins next to the streets, extinguished the fire, and let the soldiers disperse their warnings. He quickly climbed up the pile of ruins and took out the exquisite but very limited magnification binoculars. Following the clear sound of guns and cannons, the battle was just outside the street intersection. It seemed that the German armored column was moving forward in the fire exchange was much slower than his small car. In his sight, a series of gunfires flew out from the collapsed buildings on both sides of the road.

The blocking firepower was very fierce, but ordinary bullets could not block German tanks. The tanks and anti-tank guns hidden between the ruins were truly threatening. However, after observing for a moment, Linn discovered that once the Soviet tanks and artillery opened fire, they would soon be counterattacked by the opponent's precise firepower. Although such artillery fire may not cause fatal damage, it made the Soviet tankers and gunners very afraid, so that the artillery fire, which was in a defensive position, was always under suppression.

In a moment, as the first searchlight light light came on, the dim battlefield first changed tremendously from the visual light. This thick beam of light shot straight to the north, which was towards the city of Berlin. Linn immediately saw the "Night Leopard" in the telescope. Three vehicles were at the forefront of the queue. They were staggered to form a "gent" shape that was not very standard. The barrel was almost level with the ground, and the turret and the body were slightly angled. From the front, they looked majestic and domineering, just like a cavalry general with a distinctly armored armor on the ancient battlefield. The "Black Panther" following behind was an elite heavy cavalry ready to charge at any time. This scene was suddenly deeply imprinted in Linn's mind. With everything he had experienced before, in an instant, he felt sincerely proud of the camp he chose for him for the first time.

Unfortunately, the heroes are in twilight and the magnificent World War II is coming to an end. These great battles can only be relived in memory and on the screen in the future.

Leaving the reluctance, Lynn turned to greet Tanze and Noah. The young private had been watching under the ruins with a rifle scope for a while, and when he heard the order, he climbed up as fast as possible. The anti-tank shooter also had proactively loaded the rockets and climbed onto the ruins with both hands holding the bazooka. Frederick once again played the role of a loader, carrying an assault rifle and a rocket behind him.

"Marcos, start fighting from the far away, kill and then come closer!" After explaining to Tanze, Lynn asked Noah again: "Can you hit them from here?"

Just as the soldiers came up, two searchlights were on in front of them, making the ruined block extremely transparent. There was a small pond in the middle of the battlefield. It was probably originally a landscape-style pool or a small artificial lake. Large and bright light columns shot through the water. From Lin N's position, it looked like a dream.

In order to avoid being completely destroyed by the German army, the four Soviet trucks were separated by dozens of meters from each other. The nearest one was within the effective range of the 88mm anti-tank rocket launcher, and the farthest was about six or seven hundred meters. These trucks did not stay in place, and moved horizontally as soon as the lights were turned on - sometimes advancing and sometimes backwards, and turned on the lights every half minute or so before turning on the lights again, so that they could avoid the attacks of the German tanks in front of them. This method seemed simple and effective. The German tank column quickly fired several shells, but none of them directly hit the truck and searchlights. Although the shrapnel fragments produced by the explosion caused some damage to the Soviet soldiers on the vehicle, the rest of them still tried their best to control the searchlights to illuminate the battlefield.

Noah glanced at it and replied, "There are only two rockets, and at most two are destroyed!"

Lin Neng has always been aware of the amount of weapons and ammunition, and now even with more rockets, targets that are too far away cannot be killed directly - Tanze's sniper rifle has enough light range, but it only fires from the side and rear, and is not sure to destroy the searchlight.

Generous and calm, Lynn ordered: "When we get closer from behind, Noah, you will start firing at the nearest truck. Marcos, as I said, starting from a distance, how many cars can be killed, don't worry about us, you can't do it, we will find a way to solve it!"
