It did not last long, and the retreat of the front line immediately made de Gaulle angry.
"Stop retreating, whoever retreats, the military will do it!" De Gaulle screamed on the radio like a rooster.
How dare you to retreat, only to be afraid of destroying a tank? At this time, you can rush up and crush the Germans!
At this time, seeing the German tank on the opposite side is about to come up, if you don't work hard, then the situation will be reversed!
De Gaulle snorted, trying to prevent the front s-35 tank from retreating.
"Boom!" Just then, the second explosion came out again.
In recent years, the Germans have never forgotten the war. They have been preparing, especially the Waffen-SS, which is more well-trained.
The gunner on the motorcycle endured the sharp pain in his ears. After completing the first firing, the assistant on the side quickly reloaded, and he fired again.
This time, the shell directly hit the front armor of the opponent's tank. Just like hitting the side, it didn't take much effort to kick the opponent directly.
However, when the second cannon sounded, his ears couldn't hear anything.
Use a pair of ears in exchange for enough time!
De Gaulle's military command frightened the armored soldiers, but just as they were about to cheer to move on, the second sound of the cannon made their confidence disappear.
If you rush up, you will die! Especially in the second shelling, the howls and screams of the hit tank from the radio irritated their eardrums.
They don't care about any orders anymore, military law is engaged? Then you have to go back alive. In this way, if you continue to move forward, you will definitely not be able to live anymore. Being burned to death is not so fun.
Seeing that the tank in front was no longer moving, De Gaulle's eyes flashed with despair, but after that, it brightened again.
"Aim at the bridge and shoot the grenade!" De Gaulle shouted.
Although the ft17 tank is a light tank, after all, it is a commodity of World War I, and its speed is slower. Only his type B tank is behind the s-35 tank.
However, looking at the opposite side, the German tanks have already started to get on the bridge, so they have no hope of occupying the bridge. The only way is to destroy the bridge!
Grenade shooting! When he heard his order, inside the S-35 tank in front, there was another period of confusion.
What's up? Now inside the barrel is an armor-piercing projectile! -35 is the fastest, so they will approach the German tanks first. Although their tank guns are not suitable for tanks, they are still equipped with armor-piercing shells. In order to be able to fire at the first time, almost every tank’s captain , Have ordered the loading of armor-piercing bullets.
Want to change the grenade now? The -35 tank soldiers began to change shells in a hurry, and the lack of training at this time was undoubtedly revealed.
If it is an experienced tank commander, he will immediately shoot out the armor-piercing projectile and then reload the grenade. After all, it is much easier to shoot out the projectile than to withdraw the projectile.
To what extent are they lacking in training? Up to now, some tankers have not fired live ammunition, but only fired trainer ammunition. Artillery ammunition is too expensive, and defense funds have been spent on the Machino line of defense.
In their rush, the Type B tank at the back began to carry out the orders of Charles de Gaulle.
The Type B tank has a 75mm turret. Although it has only 17 diameters and is relatively short, this short gun is more suitable for launching grenade.
Under his order, more than twenty B-type tanks stopped moving forward, and their crawlers slid on the dirt on the ground, dragging a half-meter-long mark before they stopped.
Load the grenade!
"Turn left 3 degrees." A commander issued an order to his driver.
The 75mm howitzer at the front of the car body is the most suitable. However, because it is fixed on the car body, it can only be operated by pitching and cannot be turned left and right. It is far less relaxed than the tank gun on the turret. It requires the cooperation of the driver. .
To this end, the French mechanic designed a unique steering system for the car. The driver manipulates a well-designed "Needle" hydraulic differential through the steering wheel, which can achieve any turning radius on any transmission gear. Fine-tuning, so that the pilot can use the "Needle" system to precisely adjust the direction of the gun.
However, this requires the close cooperation of all crew members.
The driver stepped on the accelerator and started to steer, but this time he turned down and passed again, so he had to adjust.
While they were adjusting their launching elements, on the opposite side, the German Panther 3 tank had already rumbling over!
Trigger stepped on the accelerator, and now he doesn't care about the life of the tail engine. They must be fast!
The French on the opposite side obviously wanted to attack the bridge. If the bridge collapsed, they would not be able to make it through in a short time.
Even if only his tank passes by, it can beat the French tank on the opposite side to blossom!
Compared with the French tankers, the German tankers are extremely skilled.
Where is it reflected? For example, the current bridge.
The width of the bridge deck is almost the same as that of the tank. As long as there is a slight difference in the tank, it will fall. In this case, if the Frenchman must be in front of someone to command, he can move slowly, and Germany? Their tankers stepped on the accelerator and rushed past at high speed.
Even if the operation is slightly slower, it will bring disastrous consequences.
They are quite confident!
Trigger was moving forward, and at the same time, Nespel had already issued an order to his men: "One armor-piercing bullet, prepare."
The tank was still running, and the car body was still swaying. In this case, the loader stabilized his body and stuffed an armor-piercing projectile into the barrel.
"Loading is complete." The loader shouted loudly.
At this point the tank has crossed the middle of the bridge and continued to run forward.
"Boom, boom." On the opposite side, the Type B tank was already firing fiercely. One by one, 75mm high-explosive grenades flew out of the tank gun at the front of the car and shot towards the bridge here.
"Speed up!" Nespel shouted loudly when he saw the black smoke from the muzzle on the opposite side.
Speed up, if the bridge is blown up, they won't be able to make it through!
Cannonballs have fallen like rain!
"Hum." A cannonball fell into the water ten meters away from the bridge. The resistance of the river was not strong enough that the cannonball did not explode at all.
"French, this is your level?" Nespel could not help but shouted loudly.
The shell that was ten meters away was already the closest, the farthest, and even fell fifty meters away from the bridge.
Although the opponent's distance is still two or three kilometers, the hit rate of this grenade is definitely low enough.
Not a single shell fell on the bridge, and the water splashing everywhere seemed to baptize the bridge.
Nespel was completely despised at this time.
"Boom." Finally, the track in front was crushed to the end of the bridge, and they were already off the bridge.
"Let the Frenchman, see our accuracy!" Nespel said loudly: "Target, straight ahead, S-35 tank! A distance of one kilometer!"
As long as the bridge head is opened and the tanks behind do not hinder the movement, they can stop and fire.
Under Nespel’s order, the gunner quickly pressed the button, and the hydraulically driven turret turned a bit. Then, the gun barrel raised an angle, and the entire tank made a loud noise.
"Boom!" The body of the 40-ton Panther 3 trembled, and along with the tremor, a 75mm armor-piercing projectile flew over!
