Chapter 803 Fault

"Armored soldier, advance!" The armored soldier commander shouted majesticly at the walkie-talkie, but Qin Chuan felt that he was intentionally showing it in front of the head of state, because Qin Chuan heard some tension and unnaturalness in his voice.

In this regard, the major was successful because Hitler looked at all this with satisfaction, almost even his eyes smiling.

Not long after, the "Tiger" formation encountered the Soviet defense line, and the major immediately ordered the fire to open.

Ten "Tiger" stopped one after another, and then adjusted their turrets to find their own goals...Their movements were very skillful, which at least showed that except for the well-trained tank crew, they should operate similarly to other German tanks, because only in this way can they reach this level after a short period of training.

"Boom Boom", two "tiger" types fired first, and they shot grenades, hitting a civil fortification and a sandbag machine gun fortress respectively... Of course, they could not withstand the bombing of the "tiger" type 88 guns and were blown into the sky in a fire.

Then other "tigers" opened fire one after another, some hit and some failed. One of the high-explosive armor-piercing bombs hit the wreckage of the T34 tank opposite, exploded from the inside and immediately exploded, causing the entire turret to be thrown high.

Everyone who watched with the telescope couldn't help but cheer. Kruger looked at Qin Chuan and Manstein with some smugness, and then said to Hitler: "Hissergeant, as I said, they are invincible... The Soviets did not have any anti-tank weapons to destroy them, but we can bomb the Soviets as they please until the shells were completely destroyed!"

"Excellent, perfect!" Hitler put down his telescope and sighed: "That's what we need. They will moan all the Soviet Union under the tracks, and Stalin will beg our forgiveness under its cannon barrel..."

But before he finished speaking, a tank was parked on the exercise field and did not keep up with the convoy that continued to move forward, which was obviously abnormal.

Hitler raised his telescope and looked at it, then asked Kruger in confusion: "What's going on?"

Kruger didn't know what was going on, and he asked the Major Commander a few meters away: "What's the matter?"

"His Excellency Marshal!" The major replied awkwardly: "Tank No. 7 transmission failed!"

"This is an accident, Master!" Kruger said: "They will handle it soon!"

Qin Chuan added: "Why don't we go and have a look?"

"Good idea, Lieutenant Colonel!" Hitler replied, then walked towards the tank.

The faulty tank was not far from everyone, and it was two hundred meters away. A few minutes later, everyone came to the tank. The commander and the driver were dealing with mechanical failure in a hurry... The transmission device was broken, and when they stepped on the accelerator, they heard the sound of the engine, but the tank did not move at all.

Seeing Hitler and his group come over, the crew members immediately put down their work in line to salute.

"Don't worry about me!" Hitler criticized: "You should treat this place as a battlefield, so you should fix it as quickly as possible and then go into the battle again!"

"Yes, Master Feng!" The crew members responded and buried their heads in "dealing with" the tanks.

But not long after, another tank had a problem. The report obtained by Hitler and others was: "Engine failure."

Then another tank was stuck in a snow pit and could not move, which was common on the battlefield, especially in terrain like the Soviet Union, which weighed 56 tons.

At this time, the Major Commander made another wrong decision, and he ordered another "tiger" to drag out the one trapped in the snow pit...

Qin Chuan almost went up to stop it because he knew that there was a ban among the German tank soldiers: "The 'Tiger' tank dragging is strictly prohibited."

The reason is very simple. The "Tiger" uses a gasoline engine, and its own weight has overwhelmed the engine... This is one of the reasons why the "Tiger" has high failure rate. If other tanks are towed, it will exceed the load of the engine, causing a failure or even a fire.

But Qin Chuan immediately realized that he should not stop him at this time.

This is because I shouldn't have known that there will be problems with the "Tiger" drag... The "Tiger" is a new tank, and Qin Chuan was not involved.

On the other hand, the more "tiger" breaks out, the more it can dispel Hitler's idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack.

then……

Amid a roar of "rumble", black smoke suddenly erupted from the dragged "Tiger" engine.

At first, everyone thought it was normal, after all, it was trying to drag another tank out with super high power, but when the black smoke turned into flames, everyone knew that another "Tiger" was finished.

The major commander quickly stopped the exercise. If this continues, it will not take long for these "tiger styles" to fall into vain.

This was not surprising to Qin Chuan. The failure rate of the "Tiger Style" was notoriously high, especially when the "Tiger Style" was first put into service... Three of the first four "Tiger Styles" who went on the battlefield had only one hour of battle. Because they were worried that this new tank that rushed to the front line would be seized and studied by the Soviet army, the German army could only blow them up.

A considerable part of this is about Hitler.

Because as mentioned before, the "Tiger" tank was Hitler's dream. He hoped to defeat the Soviet Union with this tank, so he ordered that no matter what difficulties he encountered, the "Tiger" must be put into the summer offensive of 1943... So, a lot of problems were just developed and not solved, and the "Tiger" was sent to the front line and handed over to the army.

Looking at this situation, Hitler's face turned gloomy and ugly.

Manstein and Qin Chuan looked at each other and didn't say anything, because there was no need to say anything in this situation. Everyone knows what the problem is... It is really unreliable to use such a tank as the main offensive force, although it is indeed excellent in firepower and defense.

At this time, even Marshal Kruger, who had always advocated the attack, dared not say anything else.

Marshal Manstein whispered beside Qin Chuan: "Beautiful job, I think the head of state should have given up the idea of ​​attack!"

But Qin Chuan was not so optimistic, because Hitler wanted to attack subjectively, which can be seen from his expression at this time... If Hitler was just hesitating between the two, he should be glad to have not been determined to order the attack alone when he saw this situation, rather than being as devastated as he is now.
