Chapter 427

"Fire!" Mitchell? Weitmann from the commander's periscope saw not far away in the rain gradually clear of the British tank. It was an American m3 tank without the improved 75mm gun in front of it.

"Boom!" The Tiger Tank's 88mm long barrel cannon gave a roar. The cannonball tore the air and let the rain escape because of the expansion of the air. It seemed that it cut a straight line in the continuous rain and flew directly to its target.

On the other side, the British vanguard of the 2nd panzer division between Bangi and rostovt did not know that they had smashed into the defensive position of the 1st company of the 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion.

The driver of a modified m3lee tank is controlling his tank to climb up the hill, while the M3 tank, as the commander's command vehicle, has climbed up the hill first.

"Hey! Company commander, originally we thought we would find the Germans in the small town in front of us, but it seems that they gave up that town and retreated. " Holding the phone, the commander of a British tank car was chatting with his commander.

"Boom!" The sound of the earth shaking explosion can be heard clearly even through the tank's armored sheet and earphone. The captain who heard the explosion quickly lifted the tank hatch cover and poked out his head to see what was going on around him.

However, in the heavy rain, his company commander's car, which was slightly ahead of his tank, exploded into a flame not far away. Even in the heavy rain, it was burning and exploding violently, which made people shiver.

"Car three! Car three! I can't see what happened. The company commander's car exploded! Which direction did the enemy attack come from? Is there an ambush on your left, on your left? " Grabbing the phone, the British conductor began to confirm with his comrades on the other side.

"I don't find any enemies here! I didn't find the enemy here! Damn it There are six tanks in this armored company, two improved m3lee tanks, and the remaining four ordinary m3 tanks. Only half of them have talkers and radios, and the remaining half are not equipped with such important equipment.

So after the company commander's tank was destroyed, the British commander had to contact the only remaining friendly tank with radio: "be careful uphill! The enemy may be in the town on the other side of the road! I can't see them! But they can see us! "

"God! Call the infantry up! parking! Stop the car The commander of another tank yelled into the microphone, but there were still two tanks, because there was no radio, rushed up the hillside and exposed their bodies to the German tanks.

"Boom!" Another tank was hit by a shell, and the whole body of the tank was punctured, spurting a torrent of metal, and then it was piled up there as if it had lost its soul.

"Alman! Back up Half of the body out of the car body of the British car captain loudly remind not far away his accomplice, but obviously everything is too late. The M3 tank had just stopped to reverse when it was hit by an armor piercing bullet.

A fire burst out of the turret, and the driver in charge of driving the tank lifted the hatch and jumped out of his tank, rolling and crawling to the direction of his team.

"Stop! Stop if you don't want to die! Don't rush up the hill! The enemy is in the opposite village! At least one tank! At least one tank The British tank commander yelled to the phone, "what are those scouting idiots thinking? We're all under attack! "

"Signal the rear battalion and organize the attack!" The commander of the infantry appeared to be more sophisticated. He took a few soldiers up the hillside quickly, fell down, looked at the opposite situation carefully with his telescope, and then retreated to the side of the stopped tank troops.

Pointing to the direction of the small village, he began to introduce the situation of the whole battlefield to several tank captains: "they are well hidden. I can't see the location of the machine gun point or the enemy tank. There are bodies of our soldiers on the ground. They don't look very fresh. It's estimated that they will die at least one day..."

"I will let the soldiers around, close to those German defensive positions, try to help you find the position of the German tanks." The infantry commander began to assign his men's attack routes and draw on the map.

"Maybe it's just an anti tank gun." One of the captains looked at the burning company commander's tank not far away and said.

"It's about 900 meters away, only one building can be seen, and there are some low shrubs and mounds. The other side camouflages very well. If we circle to the two wings and attack through the bushes, it may have a certain effect. " The other conductor pointed to the side and said.

"German tanks are used to acting alone or a small amount together. They are very confident in themselves, but we have a numerical advantage. Don't be afraid. After a while, the third company will attack head on with us, and the second company will detour back to the side and kill them all at once The battalion commander looked at the terrain and ordered in a loud voice: "don't wait for support! Attack now

After a brief discussion, the British tank troops began their own attack. Along with the infantry, they rushed to the high ground in three ways, ready to cross the road and launch a siege attack on the small village on the other side.

"Boom!" Another explosion, the British attack seems to have been accompanied by misfortune and disaster from the beginning. Not long after their tanks were exposed, one of them was hit by the front armor plate, and the whole tank burned, turned into a fire and stopped on the charging road“ A tank has been destroyed! I see the smoke and fire on the opposite side! They're lying in ambush behind that building! Do you see the window blocking the curtain? See that window! There are their guns A tank commander pointed to the distance and yelled“ I don't know whether it's anti tank gun or tank! We can't see behind the house! Speed up! Keep on attacking! Keep on attacking The tank commander yelled excitedly, because he really didn't know whether the German team hiding there would take him as the next target. He only prayed that the other side didn't aim at him. God bless you, the other side did not choose him to fire again, but flew a tank on his left. The artillery easily penetrated the armor of the British tank, tore the fragile steel plate, and beat the people inside into pieces. The hit British tank came to a slow stop, smoldering into a wreck“ I can see each other's position! I've taken aim! " The gunner reported loudly“ FireStarter! FireStarter! Fire when you have a chance The British conductor gave a loud order. He seems a little flustered, because maybe the next tank destroyed by the opponent is his most dangerous m3lee“ Bang His tank finally fired the first shot of counterattack, the shell flew to the gray collapsed building, hit the wall of the building, and collapsed half of the wall. But unfortunately, this time the collapse raised a little smoke, people can not see the position of the German team. Fortunately, the sky is heavy rain, smoke is only raised a few seconds later, the rain was dispersed. A huge gray object appeared in the sight glass and observation periscope of the British armored forces. The black muzzle on it looked frightening“ Oh, my God! German tank! German tank! It's a new type of tank! Take aim! Fire The tank commander was so scared that he cried out, "my God! It's firing Through the periscope, he saw the Tiger tank on the opposite side again shooting a dazzling tongue of fire. An 88 mm caliber shell easily broke another British m3 tank into scrap iron at a distance of 800 meters. At this distance, the armor thickness of M3 tank can't even resist the attack of leopard tank's 75mm caliber artillery. Therefore, British tankers know that if they face Tiger tank which is more difficult than leopard tank, they must try their best to get close to their opponents and fire at the nearest distance to win. After all, when the Tiger tanks had just been deployed in large-scale service in the German army, there were few armored forces left for the French front-line counterattack. So the German Tiger tank has not been destroyed up to now, which is also the fundamental reason why this kind of tank is too mythical in Britain and the United States. Some people say that the thickness of the front armor of the new German tank can't be broken down at all. Many soldiers require that the tank be equipped with 105 mm cannon which is impossible. Some armored forces even require that the troops fire when they are close to 50 meters away to ensure that the front armor of the new German tank can be broken down“ Boom All of a sudden, a stream of white smoke was ejected from the bushes on one side, and a m3 tank was destroyed in an instant. The besieged British soldiers were in chaos, and the radio channels were full of Shouts“ There are two German tanks! The Germans have two tanks! Retreat! Retreat! We're under attack! Tom is hit! Tom has been hit“ My God! Back up! Back up quickly! Their machine guns are firing! Our infantry has been hit! Oh, my God“ well! They're firing again! Cover us! Cover us! Jack's tank is on fire! Jack's done! I saw him trying to climb out of his tank and was set on fire! He was burned to death Just when the British were in a mess, the German tanks rushed out of the hiding place, 007 tank was the first, another Tiger tank which had opened fire on the other side was also killed, and the British immediately began to rout. The guns of the Tiger tank fire continuously, and the British tank is hit continuously, which causes fire, smoke, combustion and explosion. The whole battlefield was filled with the screams of the British and the cheers of the German victory.
