Chapter 740： Hot Spring Pass (Part 2)

The ancient hot spring pass has always been the gateway to Greece. Countless aliens who tried to conquer Greece were defeated here by the Greeks, ruining their ambitions to conquer Greece, but there were also successful ones. But the hot spring pass has always been a strong point in the hearts of the Greeks.

The topography of Hot Spring Pass with cliffs on one side and the sea on the other did help the Greeks withstand countless enemies. But in modern times, with the retreat of the coastline, there is now a kilometer of land outside the hot spring pass. But it still cannot prevent it from becoming a strategic location for Greece.

And today, the battle of life and death in Greece is unfolded here again.

"The enemy tank, prepare to fire."

The roar of the officer made Malaka improve his concentration. He was operating a 40mm anti-tank gun (British: two-pound anti-tank gun) that was newly acquired for less than 3 days, and he was aiming at an incoming Romanian tank.

He has seen this tank in the identification map, and it is called an R20 medium tank. The main feature is its sloped armor and a huge gun shield that can be used as the front armor of the turret. It is said that the tank weighs more than 30 tons and the frontal armor is very thick. He has no confidence in whether the 40mm anti-tank gun can penetrate its armor. Because he heard that in Poland, its 37mm anti-tank gun cannot penetrate its equipment.

It’s just that there is only this kind of anti-tank gun in the army. I heard it was transported urgently from Egypt. I heard that hundreds of doors were shipped at that time, but the Romanian navy intercepted them at sea and lost a lot of them. When they were sent to Greece, only a few dozen doors were left. I heard that this is the latest British anti-tank gun, hoping to stop the Romanian tanks.

And they were assigned to the troops stationed at Wenquan Pass, divided into more than fifty gates. It can be said to be quite refreshing.

Can you be upset? Now the Greek troops are basically annihilated in the Battle of Thessaly. The Greek military now has less than 250,000 controllable troops. After deducting the defenders of the islands and the troops in Epirus, the Greek government now has only about 100,000 troops under its control, including those on the island of Crete. Defender.

Therefore, the Greek government has also given high hopes to the hot spring pass.

It's just that the British and French are not optimistic about this. They are already persuading the Greek government to take advantage of the time to evacuate to Crete (currently the Romanian fleet mainly intercepts British transport ships off the coast of Crete. The island did not intercept because of the plane).

But these have nothing to do with the Malaka who is in charge of commanding this 40mm anti-tank gun. Now and he can't control it. Now for him, it is the most important thing for him to destroy the tank in front of him and keep his position.

He and his team members are well hidden, and the dense bushes hide them and the anti-tank gun well. The Romanians failed to find themselves in the planes and shelling, but many of their comrades were not so lucky, and they lost a lot of money for various reasons.

Malaka can't control all of these. Now he waits for the R20 tank in front of him to show its side, or get closer to him.

"Closer, closer."

Malaka lay on the ground, muttering incessantly, as if his parents were waiting for the children playing outside to return.

As if his words were magical, the R20 started up again along the gentle slope, and the powerful horsepower pushed the track forward slowly through the power wheels.

Seeing that this R20 tank is close to more than 200 meters, even the figure in the observation hole can be seen. Malaka felt that this was the best opportunity, and immediately gave an order. "ready!"

He put a cross star on the tank and rang the gun rope.

"Boom!"

The 40mm armor-piercing projectile ejected from the muzzle directly hit the frontal inclined armor plate of the R20 tank. The huge impact force made the armor gouge out a pit, but the exhausted projectile did not penetrate the armor.

Although the shell failed to penetrate the R20 tank, the huge kinetic energy still stopped it.

"good chance!"

Seeing this R20 tank was stopped on the spot, Malaka would not let it go. One cannonball doesn’t work, how many more?

So taking advantage of the moment when the R20 tank was down, Malaka and his team played their greatest potential and fired nearly 30 shells in just two minutes. So many shells clinked the R20 tank in front of you, but none of them penetrated its armor.

Such a result made Malaka's face very ugly. When he saw the tank that was constantly being attacked began to rumble again, he secretly said a bad sound. The tank that has recovered now will definitely find a target to attack itself, and because of the smoke from continuous shooting, it can't disperse for a long time. Isn't it an obvious target here?

Seeing that the turret of the tank had already turned around, Malaka knew that he could not do anything, and hurriedly yelled. "Run!" After speaking, he sprang out.

"Boom!"

From the millimeter main gun, the 40mm anti-tank gun was destroyed by a grenade, and the Malaka, which ran one step earlier, survived. It's just that although he ran fast, the R20 tank that had already topped this place was unwilling to give up. When there was a sound of vehicle-mounted machine guns, Malaka didn't know anything.
