Chapter 235 Show

"Well, worthy of being our elite tank division, the tanks are well maintained!" Ogarkov couldn't help but sigh: "This retired and obsolete tank can still be started, not bad, not bad!"

Retirement usually means scrapping, and the Red Empire lacks the means to deal with it, and does not care about waste, so it just finds a warehouse to put it away. Even so, it can still be started, which shows that the daily maintenance of the 4th Tank Division is indeed in place.

"As long as they are not taken away from our warehouse, they belong to our equipment. We must maintain them well so that in case of a major war, these tanks can return to the battlefield," said Colonel Mironov.

"It seems that we have to call on the entire army to learn from the 4th Tank Division!" Ogarkov was obviously satisfied, but Andrei knew there must be a problem when he saw the bitter face of this guy.

"Boom, boom, boom." The T-62 tank used as a target drove to the side of another earth slope and stopped.

"Wait." Andre said, "What's the point of shooting at fixed targets like this? Since this tank can move, why not just shoot at moving targets! After all, during a war, the enemy will never just sit there and wait for us to shoot them."

"But what about the driver in the tank?" asked Colonel Mironov.

Hit a moving target! Only Andrei can come up with such an idea to use a tank as a moving target! This is not the future. Remote control circuits can easily control tanks automatically and make them unmanned.

Who dares to drive a tank that is used as a target? One armor-piercing bullet will destroy the tank and the people too!

"That's hard to say. Put it in first gear, hold the accelerator, and then jump out. If no one dares to do it, I'll do it." Andre said.

If you want to make the tank unmanned, that’s easy. The shooting range is so big, and after it starts, people just jump out!

In fact, Andrei had never driven a tank before. There was no steering wheel inside. Tanks were operated with joysticks, just like driving a crawler tractor. Even if he said that, the 4th Tank Division would never let him drive.

"Target vehicle No. 04, target vehicle No. 04, start moving!" After hearing Andrei's words, Colonel Mironov could only give such a reluctant order on the radio. At this time, his face had begun to turn pale: "After starting, jump out! Continue shooting in one minute. Pay attention, this time we are shooting at a moving target!"

"Commander, what's on the radio?" Two kilometers away, amid the roar of the engine, the tank crew's ears were buzzing, and the gunner shouted loudly to the commander beside him through the throat intercom.

Just now, the commander's voice seemed to be heard on the radio, but I couldn't hear what it was. This gas turbine is even more deafening than a diesel engine!

"I don't know. Never mind. I've already made the contact. In a moment, we'll fire and the remote-controlled explosives will explode. The effect will be just as good. It's easy to bluff these high-ranking officials coming down from above." said the commander.

"But this time we are attacking tanks and using armor-piercing shells, not grenades," said the gunner.

"Who cares? The higher-ups don't care about these things. As long as we fight beautifully, it's fine. Let's bury more explosives this time and raise more dust. That'll look good!"

This wasn't the first time he had done this, and every time it was a great pleasure for his superiors to watch. He had also made great contributions in the target practice and was now the commander of a tank regiment! With the rank of lieutenant colonel, he was doing much better than in the KGB!

Humph, this also makes my father look at me with new eyes. I am not the playboy he said I was!

"Captain, it's bad, the target is moving!" At this moment, the driver in front suddenly shouted loudly.

The tank driver was planning to get out of the T-62, but after hearing the order, he sat back down and started the tank.

This tank was not moved from the warehouse at all. Those tanks were rusted to the point of being unsightly. This tank was moved from the gate of the tank regiment under the division! This tank was well maintained and was used to show off the 4th Tank Division. During holidays, students from Moscow would come here to visit and take photos with this tank.

Only this one was in good enough condition so as not to cause displeasure to the marshal, but Colonel Mironov did not know that he had done so and instead made the 4th Tank Division look bad.

Now, we just have to hope that the tanker is smart enough to report engine failure and not have to move. As long as we don't move, we can still cover it up.

Through the telescope, I saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the tank's engine and it started!

"Buzz, buzz." The tank driver heard the order, restarted the tank, and then shifted into first gear.

The tank driver climbed out of the turret after he stuck the accelerator. At the first gear speed, not very fast, he flipped over the turret and jumped out from the back.

"Boom!" At this moment, the T-80 tank opened fire.

It's moving! The target is moving! The tank responsible for the target shooting found that the tank that had stopped beside the slope was actually moving! Immediately, they were anxious. At the command of the tank commander, the gunner pressed the trigger.

"Boom!" As the tank fired, the earth slope on this side exploded.

The ground shook, sand and soil were rolled up several meters high, and an air wave came over. The tank driver who had just jumped out of the car was swept up by the air wave. Suddenly, he felt like someone hit his chest with a hammer. He couldn't help but spit out blood from his mouth, and slowly fell backwards.

More sand flew up and landed beside him.

"Not good!" At this time, the tank driver on the T-80 tank also found out that something was wrong! The T-62 did not run away on its own, but was driven down by the tank driver, who was just caught in the blast!

Training accident!

"Quick, save people!" The three tankmen were stunned and rushed forward to save people!

Just now, during the target shooting, the distance was one thousand meters. The engine of the T-80 tank roared and rushed forward. When the dust just settled, it had already rushed forward and dug out the tank driver who was buried in the sand.

"Captain, he's dead." The driver was the first to dig out the head of the buried tank driver, who had already stopped breathing.

"What's going on? It's clearly an armor-piercing bullet, how can it have the effect of a grenade?" At this moment, a voice came to my ears.

Seeing the training accident happening here, Andrei and others rushed over. Looking at the buried tank driver, they thought he was probably dead, and Ogarkov immediately became angry.

We just wanted to observe the tanks firing while they were moving. Now, even if the enemy accidentally injured someone, it would just be an armor-piercing bullet flying over and hitting the slope. It would definitely not blow up the soil on the slope, let alone blow a half-meter hole in the ground! Only grenades can achieve such an effect!

Countless doubts began to arise in Ogarkov's mind.

The regiment commander raised his head, his face pale. He did not dare to face the marshal's rebuke, but just glanced at him.

At this glance, he saw Andrei behind Marshal Ogarkov and was stunned.
