Time passed slowly as Captain Mizk searched for information, and the next morning came soon. The officers and soldiers of the 7th Company in the camp were wide open, waiting for the tank to appear.

Because yesterday evening, Captain Mizk announced to them that the 7th Company would become the first company to receive training with tanks in the entire division. This made the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company very proud, and they also had various expectations for the new weapon of tanks.

"Is that?"

A rumbling sound of mechanical movement came from outside the camp. A sharp-eyed soldier couldn't help asking loudly. His words made other officers and soldiers stretch their necks and look at the gate of the camp, and some even jumped up.

Seeing his soldiers stir up, Mizk blew the whistle in his hand.

“Shut~~”

The whistle in Mizk's hand made a sharp whistle, awakening the curious soldiers. Looking at the dark-faced company commander Mizk, they remembered that they were still lined up, so the chaotic scene was controlled.

When the 7th Company was quiet, the rumbling sound also became louder. When the four tanks drove into the barracks, everyone heard it.

After the tank was parked, a lieutenant officer with a fur hat jumped from above. At this time, Commander Delson walked over with the man, negotiated with the lieutenant officer for a few words, and then waved to Mizk to signal him to go over.

Mizk, who was mentally prepared, ran over. Commander Delson pointed to the lieutenant officer wearing a leather hat and said, "Captain Mizk, this is Lieutenant Dolf of the armored platoon. You will be in concert with his tank training stairs."

After saying that, Commander Delson left with his men, leaving only Mizk and this Lieutenant Dolph.

Mizk was not polite, and stepped forward and shook the hand of the tank lieutenant and said with a smile. "Hey Lieutenant Dolf, let's connect and ask your tank platoon command."

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

After a brief conversation, the two began to prepare for the drill that Bu Tan cooperated. This drill was unfamiliar with Mizk, but it was much more familiar to Lieutenant Dolf's tank platoon. When Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman was the battalion commander, they practiced it specifically because the performance of the tank can only do this kind of work now.

Speaking of the starting tank-coordinated training, it feels very profound tactics, but in fact it is very simple now. Before entering the enemy's position, the infantry hid behind the tank and followed the marching. After entering the 200 meters, the infantry charged, and the tanks attacked the emerging fire point in front of the position, allowing the infantry to attack the enemy's position more easily.

This is also a judgment made by the Romanian military in light of the situation where the British used tanks on the battlefield and the results of the armored battalion drills. This is also a very wise decision. As for the concentrated tanks like World War II to make breakthroughs, you can't think of it at all. If you really want to do this, all the tanks were damaged before you even reach the destination, and the current roads cannot support the use of large-scale mechanized armored troops.

So we saw that during the afternoon training in the Butan, the soldiers of the 7th Company were hugging behind four Explorer tanks, simulating the attack scene.

Perhaps because of fear of new things like tanks, the soldiers of the 7th Company maintained a distance of 4 or 5 meters from the tank during the drill. This made Lieutenant Dolph, who was commanding next to him, very dissatisfied. "You get closer so that the tank can protect you from being hit. Don't worry, our tanks will not retreat and press you."

However, Lieutenant Dolf's words could not reduce the fear of the soldiers of the 7th Company. Mizk, who was trained with the soldiers, saw that this was not a solution, so he took the lead in trotting towards the tail of the tank. In the soldiers' surprised gaze, he ran to a distance of 1 meter from the tank. The strong exhaust gas made him unable to open his eyes. Mizk turned his head and shouted to his soldiers. "What are you afraid of, come forward."

Seeing that the company commander dared to approach these steel monsters, some people ran to the tank 1 or 2 meters like Mizk. People had herd mentality, and seeing that everyone else dared to do this, I dared to do it too. So finally, the soldiers of the 7th Company became bolder and could do the distance that Lieutenant Dolph required.

After the first joint training of Butan, Mizk's face was darkened by exhaust gas, as if he had just finished working from the coal mine. During the rest, he took the orderly towel and wiped his appearance. At this time, Lieutenant Dolff came over.

"You are really brave."

Lieutenant Dolf praised Mizk who had wiped his face.

Mizk disapproved of Lieutenant Dolf's praise. "This is nothing, every Romanian officer can do it."

"No, no, no."

Lieutenant Dolf said, shaking his head. "You are the bravest officer I have ever met in the butan drill. Many of the officers did not perform well in the first training with our tanks."

"I guess it's because I'm not adapting to the emerging weapon of tanks."

Mizk gave his own explanation for Lieutenant Dolf's praise.

Faced with Mizk's explanation, Lieutenant Dolf nodded and agreed. "It should be."

After chatting with Mizk for a few words, Lieutenant Dolf was about to leave, but before leaving he pointed to Mizk's face and said, "Sir Captain, next time I don't recommend you to be too close to the tank, it's too close to one meter."

After understanding what Lieutenant Dolf said, Mizk remembered his face darkened by exhaust gas and said with a smile. "Next time, unless someone is straightened with a gun, I will not be so close to the tank."

During an afternoon of training, the 7th Company and Lieutenant Dolf's tank platoon were training in formation. However, the next day, they began to train infantry to remove enemy strongholds with tank support. During the three-day training plan, the 7th Company was training and combating the tanks. In fact, in the 19th Division, only the 1st Regiment where Mizk was located trained for tanks to cooperate. This also has a lot to do with the scarcity of tanks and the cost of training.

Since Lieutenant Colonel Hoffmann 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 themselves with the new things like tanks, so that Lieutenant Dolph brought the tank platoon to the 19th Division to train the 1st Regiment to cooperate in the field and tanks.

Of course, the opportunity is not only given to the 19th Division. In fact, every Romanian division has a chance, it is just a matter of how long it takes to wait.
