Romanian Eagle

Time passed slowly while Captain Mizk was searching for information, and the early morning of the next day soon arrived. In the camp, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company stared wide-eyed, waiting for the appearance of the tank.

Because last evening, the company commander, Captain Mizick, announced to them that the 7th company would be the first company in the division to receive training with tanks. This makes the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company very proud. They also have various expectations for the new weapon of the tank.

"Is that that?"

There was a rumbling sound of mechanical movement from outside the camp. A sharp-eyed soldier couldn't help asking loudly. His words made other officers and soldiers crane their necks and look towards the entrance of the barracks, and some even jumped up.

Seeing his soldiers commotion, Mizick blew the whistle in his hand.

"Uh~~"

The whistle in Mizk's hand made a sharp whistle, which awakened the curious soldiers. Looking at the dark-faced company commander Mizick, they remembered that they were still in line, and the chaotic scene was under control.

When the 7th Company became quiet, the rumbling sound also became louder. When the 4 tanks entered the barracks, everyone heard it.

After the tank stopped, a lieutenant officer wearing a leather cap jumped from above. At this time, Captain Delson walked over with someone, negotiated a few words with the lieutenant officer, and then waved to Mizick to sign him over.

Mizick, who had been mentally prepared, ran over. Commander Delson pointed to the lieutenant officer wearing a leather cap. "Lieutenant Mizick, this is Lieutenant Dorf of the armored platoon. Next, you have to coordinate with his tank training tank."

After finishing talking, Captain Delson left with others, leaving only Mizick and the Dolf lieutenant.

Mizk was also welcome, and shook the hand of the tank lieutenant and said with a smile. "Hello Lieutenant Dolph, we will ask your tank platoon to take command after we connect."

Faced with Mizk's friendly attitude, Lieutenant Dorf also said politely. "This is what we should do."

After a brief conversation, the two began to prepare for a drill with foot and tank coordination. This exercise is unfamiliar to Mizick, but it is much more familiar to Lieutenant Dorf's tank platoon. When Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman was a battalion commander, they trained specifically, because the performance of the tank can only do this kind of work now.

Speaking of the tactics of coordinated training of the tanks at the beginning, it feels very deep, but in fact it is very crude now, that is, before entering the enemy's position two hundred meters, the infantry hides behind the tank and follows it. After entering 200 meters, the infantry charged, and the tank attacked the rising fire point just in front of the position, allowing the infantry to more easily enter the enemy's position.

This is also a judgment made by the Romanian military based on the use of tanks by the British on the battlefield and the results of the armored battalion exercise. This is also a very wise decision. As for the breakthrough of concentrated tanks like World War II, don't even think about it. If you really want to do this, it is estimated that all the tanks will be damaged on the road before they reach the destination, and the current roads cannot support the use of large-scale mechanized armored forces.

So we saw that in the afternoon's tank training, the 7th company soldiers followed four Explorer tanks with their waists up to simulate the attacking scene.

It may be the fear of new things like tanks. The soldiers of the 7th Company kept a distance of 4 to 5 meters from the tanks during the exercise. This made Lieutenant Dorf, who was commanding nearby, very dissatisfied. "You get closer, so that the tank can protect you from being hit. You can rest assured that our tank will not back down and crush you."

But Lieutenant Dorf's words did not reduce the fear of the 7th Company's soldiers. Mizk, who was training with the soldiers, saw that this was not a way, so he took the lead in a trot to the tail of the tank, and in the soldier's surprised gaze, he ran to a distance of 1 meter from the tank. He couldn't open his eyes because of the strong exhaust gas, and Mizick turned his head and shouted to his soldier. "Whatever you are afraid of, go forward."

Seeing that his company commander dared to approach these steel monsters, some people successively ran to the tank position of 1, 2 meters like Mizick. People have a herd mentality, and I dare to see others dare to do so. As a result, the soldiers of the 7th company became bold, and could meet the distance required by Lieutenant Dorf.

After the first step-tank coordinated training was completed, Mizick's face was blackened by exhaust gas, as if he had just finished working from a coal mine. During the break, he took the orderly towel to wipe his appearance, when Lieutenant Dorf came over.

"You are really brave."

Lieutenant Dorf praised Mizick who wiped his face.

Mizk disapproved of Lieutenant Dorf's compliments. "It's nothing, every Romanian officer can do it."

"No, no, no."

Lieutenant Dorf said while shaking his head. "You are the bravest officer I have ever seen in the tank drill. Many officers did not perform very well in the first training with our tanks."

"It is estimated that it is not suitable for the new weapon of tank."

Mizick gave his own explanation for the compliment of Lieutenant Dorf.

Facing Mizick's explanation, Lieutenant Dorf nodded in agreement. "This should be."

After chatting with Mizick for a few words, Lieutenant Dorf was about to leave, but he pointed to Mizick's face before leaving. "Mr. Captain, next time I don't advise you to get too close to the tank, it's too close at a distance of one meter."

After understanding the meaning of Lieutenant Dorf's words, Mizick said with a smile of his face blackened by exhaust fumes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Next time, unless I'm straightened with a gun, I won't be so close to the tank."

In an afternoon training session, the 7th Company had been training in formation with Lieutenant Dorf’s tank platoon. But the next day was good, they began to train infantry to pull out the enemy's stronghold with the support of tanks. In the three-day training plan, the 7th company was training for coordinated operations with tanks. In fact, in the 19th Division, only the 1st regiment of Mizick was trained for tank cooperative operations. This also has a lot to do with the scarcity of tanks and the cost of training.

Since Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman was transferred to the royal armored brigade (3 tank battalions, each battalion has 3 tank companies, and each company has 12 tanks.), the military wants to familiarize each infantry division with tanks. This is a new thing to avoid catching the blind when it is used. That's why Lieutenant Dolph brought the tanks to the 19th division to train 1 regiment for coordination.

Of course, the opportunity is not only given to the 19th division. In fact, every division in Romania has a chance. It is just a matter of waiting time.

While Romania was working hard to strengthen its own army's combat effectiveness, an unexpected message was sent from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Edel.
