Chapter 909 The Opposite Tank
"These damn Americans, the fuel they promised should have arrived three hours ago!" Sitting in the tank and maintaining full combat readiness, Warner could not calm down. This was simply a joke!
They said that the East Germans on the opposite side would attack us, and required us to maintain combat readiness and that our tanks should not be shut down. Now, all the fuel is used up, and there is no sign of the refueling truck coming!
Without fuel, the engine could not run, and the entire tank was extremely stuffy. So, Werner finally couldn't help it and said to the commander beside him: "Report to the commander, I request to go up and operate the machine gun."
The Leopard 2 tank's main weapon is a 120mm smoothbore gun. However, the turret needs to be powered by electricity, and the gun's aiming system also needs power support. When the engine is turned off, this 120mm smoothbore gun has no possibility of participating in the battle.

The huge Leopard 2 tank now has only two machine guns left. One is a Rheinmetall MG3A1 7.62mm coaxial machine gun installed on the left side of the 120mm gun with a firing rate of 1200 rounds/min; the other is a MG3A1 7.62mm anti-aircraft machine gun installed on the ring bracket of the loader's hatch cover. It is used for air defense and has an elevation range of -10° to +75°, so it can be laid flat to hit ground targets.
In fact, it has now been proven to be impossible to use anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense. This anti-aircraft machine gun has a better firing range than the coaxial machine gun, which makes it easier for the shooter to eliminate enemy infantry close to the tank. At the same time, as a shooter, the possibility of sacrifice is also the greatest. This most dangerous task should of course be left to the loader.
Now, that's a sweet job.
After hearing what Werner said, the commander nodded: "Be careful, there may be snipers on the opposite side."

Sniper? There is nothing on the other side! Until now, the commander's combat awareness is still so strong. In fact, many people have seen that this is clearly because the Americans think that their side is not obedient and deliberately let them down!
Push open the hatch on top, and you'll feel a refreshing sensation! Werner took a deep breath, then pretended to push the hatch in front of him as a shield, and then raised the machine gun.
He turned his head and found that he had fallen behind. The loaders of the tanks next to him had already come out! In fact, some crew members had come out from the tanks farther away, and they were smoking beside the tanks without any scruples!

My captain is too old-fashioned. The other side has nothing. This is totally meaningless!
Werner, remembering the game he was playing halfway, couldn't help it anymore. He took out the game console from his pocket and started playing Tetris attentively on the top of the turret. He was determined to break the record this time!
Werner was playing happily with his head down when he heard the sound of the hatch of the turret on one side, and the commander also came out!
Suddenly, Werner was startled and tried to hide the game console quickly. Unexpectedly, the usually strict conductor did not stop him.

"Play if you want, Werner. Maybe you won't be able to play soon," said the commander.
This made Werner stunned. Damn, are you saying that I will die in battle soon? We are in the same crew, and we will die together.

Little did he know that the commander actually meant that the situation was too obvious, the Wehrmacht was going to reform, and a large number of people would be in trouble! And the commander also knew his true identity, and when the time came, the entire crew might be implicated.
At this point, Warner didn't want to play anymore. He was in no mood. It was like the last meal he had before going to the execution ground. He was in no mood for any delicacies.
And as if to confirm his thoughts, at this moment, everyone felt that the ground seemed to be shaking.
Yes, it's vibrating! What is that? It's the sound of tanks moving!

Yes, it was a tank! They were too familiar with this kind of vibration, only a large number of tanks moving could make such a noise! And now, because their tanks were out of oil, they were waiting in place, and even the infrared night vision goggles could not be turned on, and they could not observe the movements of the other side at all! However, this vibration was definitely not from their side, it must be from the other side!
What is the other party going to do?
"Hurry, get in the tank and prepare for battle!" a voice shouted loudly. Without fuel and electricity, even orders had to be given by humans.
However, this order was not effectively executed, because at this moment, a voice shouted: "Fuck the fighting! There is no fuel, you try to crank the turret manually? How do you aim? Besides, the people coming over are also our compatriots, we don't fight our own people!"

Werner couldn't believe his ears. It was his own captain who was speaking! All along, the captain had been educating the entire crew to faithfully follow orders, defend the country, and fight bravely. But now, the captain actually said such words!
However, this sentence really expressed what Werner was thinking. It was not that they did not want to fight, but in the current situation, it was simply impossible to fight! Tanks, without fuel, were absolutely living coffins!
Rather than entering the tank, firing a shell that would definitely miss the target, and then being destroyed by the enemy, it would be better to stay here and be a prisoner! Anyway, the enemy is also German, so it is not shameful to be captured!
For them, this is the best option. If they want to blame someone, they should blame the Americans. Who made them want to contain the German army and not provide fuel to themselves at this time!

"Yes, that's right. When have Americans ever treated us as human beings? They treat us as cannon fodder! Now, they don't even give us fuel, so what's the point of fighting?" another voice shouted.
Suddenly, the battalion commander who had just issued the order said: "You forced me to do this. You are the ones who disobeyed orders!"
Everyone suddenly realized, damn, it turns out that the battalion commander didn't want to fight, but just wanted to save face. Now, he said this, which was equivalent to putting all the responsibility on his subordinates! How cunning!

In the distance, the rumbling sound is getting louder and louder!
The West German tank soldiers here don't want to fight at all. If it were in the past, perhaps they would fight for their country, but now, with the easing of relations with East Germany and the opening of the Berlin Wall, relations between the two sides have eased, and no one wants to fight at all.
Especially now, it is obvious that the United States is deliberately targeting the German army, sending it to the border without providing fuel, which is clearly sending its own troops to their deaths!
