Chapter 832： Sherman Tank

The M5 anti-tank gun is too tall, especially the huge gun shield, which looks quite conspicuous. Therefore, the German tank soldiers immediately changed after finding that the opposite anti-tank gun could tear their main armor. Tactics, first make sure that the opponent has no ability to counterattack!

88 mm grenade was constantly pouring toward the opposite side, and the M5 anti-tank guns were covered by artillery fire!

The British soldiers were fighting back firmly, but at a distance of nearly a kilometer, their quasi-heads were quite low. On the contrary, the German tank guns were able to greet them with ease. This is simply a one-sided battle. !

One door after another, anti-tank guns are constantly being destroyed, and the British army's position will be lost at any time!

"Offensive, offensive!" After reconfirmation, there is no concealed anti-tank gun on the opposite side. Carl shouted loudly on the radio. After holding back for so long, they should attack!

Following his orders, the Panthers 3 tanks moved towards the opposite side quickly. For them, a distance of one kilometer is a matter of a kick.

Behind the tank unit, a large number of infantry fighting vehicles followed. The soldiers in the vehicle were ready to get out of the vehicle at any time. When they entered the enemy position, they had to rely on the infantry to accompany them to protect. Tactics, they are already familiar with the road.

However, this time the progress did not proceed as they hoped.

The tank in front had almost reached the position of the British army. Seeing that the tracks could be crushed on the opponent's trenches, at this moment, Karl-Maus proficiently performed a round-up search again.

The view inside the tank is very poor, especially now, when attacking forward, they rarely take care of their flanks, and only the most skilled tankers will distract their energy to take care of the surroundings.

When Carl looked to the side, he keenly discovered something. On his right flank, there was tumbling black smoke and dust, and a tank unit was attacking his flank!

"Attention, at three o'clock, the enemy tank unit is found!" Carl shouted loudly on the radio.

Three o'clock!

Hearing his warning, one by one Panther 3 tanks, the turret began to turn to the right, and just before they turned past, the enemy tanks on the flanks had already opened fire!

Carl was surprised to find that the tank on the opposite side opened fire while on the move!

In a tank without a fire control computer and a two-way stabilization system, if you want to move and fire, you have to be an extremely experienced tanker. The accuracy of static vs. static is not good, let alone move vs. motion!

However, the other party fired. The other party either fired indiscriminately or had their own assassin!

Carl did not order to fire, he never wasted shells, he just continued to observe the opponent, those tanks did not look like any known British tanks!

Moreover, after several battles, the British tanks were supposedly consumed. Where did these tanks come from? The number is still so big?

"Boom!" At this moment, Karl heard a loud crash from the side of his tank turret, and his Panther 3 tank was hit from the side!

It is impossible for any tank to have the same protection in all directions. The sides and back of the Panther 3 are not thick.

If it was a Firefly with a British 17-pounder gun, or a monster with a 105 gun, Carl would have been killed at this time, but now, his tank is still intact!

Damn, Carl is even more angry.

"Turn the turret, fire, and kill them!" Karl gave the order, but he did not turn his troops around. Now, the enemy's position is in front of him, and his task is to tear the enemy's position apart!

As for this rushing tank unit, naturally there will be tanks behind oneself to destroy them!

One by one, Panther 3 tanks, the turret turned ninety degrees, and a salvo was fired toward the enemy rushing to the side.

Everyone has a question, where did this British tank unit come from?

Of course it was sent from the United States!

Now that all the anti-tank guns sent by the United States have arrived, the tanks given by the United States to Britain must have arrived at the same time.

Moreover, compared to the batch of M3 tanks shipped to the UK, this batch of tanks is a more advanced model. The US has just completed the development of the M4 tank!

War is definitely a catalyst for science and technology. On the one hand, the United States has launched research on anti-tank guns. On the other hand, it is also stepping up the development of advanced tanks comparable to the Panther 3 tank!

This is the Sherman tank code-named M4, also known as the Firefly.

The development speed of this tank is very fast. In fact, it can be said that it was originally an improved version of the M3 tank.

The M3 tank is a tank model developed methodically by the Americans. As a result, after the finalization, it suddenly found out that it was outdated. In the case that the Germans had already used 75mm guns and 88mm guns, the M3 tank actually used 37. Millimeter gun!

Firepower, maneuverability, protection are incomparable, so the Americans can only quickly install a tumor-like protrusion on the right front of the car body, and install a 75mm main gun there.

This nondescript thing, of course, was only a temporary emergency product. After that, the Americans rebuilt a new type of turret, which was larger and could fit a 75mm gun inside, and at the same time, lowered the height of the car body.

Even if it is lowered, this tank is still nearly three meters high, which is definitely the tallest tank of this era!

But didn’t care too much. After the tricks were done, a batch of more than 300 vehicles was efficiently produced by means of the production line, which were loaded on a ship and transported to Egypt. Come.

The battle here is already very dangerous. If you delay for a day, it will be more dangerous!

If it is more advanced than the German tank, I am afraid that it is equipped with an artillery vertical stabilizer. Although it can only be stabilized in one direction, it is also quite good, giving the tank the ability to fire on the move!

The British tank soldiers were also unambiguous, and they barely ran into battle with the tanks for a day or two. Although it's easy to get started, tanks need to be absolutely well-trained.

So, just now, hundreds of tanks from them rushed over and opened fire as they marched, only hitting the opposite one!

The newly formed Royal 6th Armored Regiment, head Alexander, as an old tanker, knew at this time that he had no choice but to move forward!

"Fire, fire!" He kept giving battle orders, and shoot as many shells as possible before he was hit!
