Chapter 833： Ronson lighter

Tanker Rockard sat on his gun position. At this time, his body was bumping with the tank.

"Fire!" Following the commander's command, he quickly stepped on the trigger, and the whole body of the tank trembled. Inside the turret, there was a burst of gunpowder.

"Boom!" The yellow-orange-orange cartridge case was retracted, and the loader loaded the second shell in it.

Rockard once again pointed his eyes to the sight. Inside, he could clearly see the opponent's tank, but until now, he has fired five shells, but he has not even hit an enemy tank. !

As an old gunner, he felt very surprised. After the shell was loaded, he did not continue to fire, but shouted loudly: "Captain, request to stop and fire!"

Only by parking can aim and shoot better. Now, after hearing his request, the captain nodded: "Stop!"

stop! The car came to a halt, and Rockard could finally calm down, take aim calmly, and shoot while on the move. It looked magnificent, but it was useless at all!

Rockard re-targeted the enemy, and now, the opponent is still advancing towards his position, but the opponent's turret has already turned.

Just as Rockde was about to fire, he saw the opponent's muzzle, and a burst of flame emerged. The opponent opened fire, and he was shooting at himself!

Fire!

At this moment, he did not hesitate and stepped on the trigger severely.

"Boom!" In the huge explosion, the tank body shook and the shell flew out.

After that, he heard a more terrifying collision, and the opponent's shell hit his own tank!

The 88mm shell hits the front of the Sherman tank! Ordinary steel-core armor-piercing bullets are nothing more than. When this armor-piercing bullet hit the front car body, it immediately got in!

The Sherman tank is 30-ton class, and because the tank is tall, it needs a larger protective area, so the armor of this tank is only more than 70 millimeters! This is still the thickest place!

Its foundation is just an M3 tank, which is more than 70 millimeters in size, which is already very against the sky, but unfortunately, this thickness is simply vulnerable to an 88 millimeter armor-piercing projectile!

It was almost like a layer of paper. The 88mm shell penetrated into the armor, beating the driver in front of it sparsely. Then, it continued inward, traversed the wide car body, and drilled to the back.

The Sherman tank is very reliable. In history, this tank usually requires only the most common field maintenance and has a very high attendance rate, which is inseparable from its engine.

This tank uses a 400-horsepower Continental R-975C1 nine-cylinder star air-cooled engine.

As long as you hear these words, you should know that this is a real aero engine!

The needs of the two are different. Aero engines need high horsepower, while tanks need high torque. Only the United States can perfectly solve the heat dissipation problem. This engine is installed in the M4 tank, and it is reliable. Still quite high.

The reliability is high enough. Unfortunately, as long as it is a gasoline engine, there is inevitably an unavoidable shortcoming. Its fuel is extremely easy to burn!

"Boom!" With the sound of the explosion, the engine behind was burning up! As long as one spark splashes, it can ignite this engine, and now, sparks flying around and fuel sprayed everywhere make this engine burn instantly!

From the outside, the entire tank is burning up quickly. This is not the violent burning of ammunition exploding, it is purely burning like a fire!

It was almost like the fireworks in the festival, the entire tank was burning, and the tanker on the opposite side could not help being stunned as he watched this scene.

"It's just a Ronson lighter, just hit it, every hit!" The tanker couldn't help but sigh inside, what kind of tank is this, it is so funny, it is simply here to send the results of the battle!

What a pity, it's time for our side to continue attacking the enemy's position! The gunner had to turn the turret, ready to tear the enemy's position.

Following them is the 67th Armored Battalion. Battalion Commander Bauert has received the news on the radio. He immediately ordered his troops to change directions and move on to his right flank to block the British armored troops!

The Panthers 3 tanks were running at full power and galloping toward the opponent. At this time, he could clearly see that the opponent's tanks were also accelerating.

It seems that the performance of the opponent's tank is also good! At least, compared to mobility, it's almost the same as yours!

Moreover, they actually made a tactical allocation. Half of the tanks continued to move forward, intending to fight head-on with their own side, while the other part actually wanted to bypass and hit their own flank!

It's a pity, it's too high! Such a lofty goal, on our side, seems quite obvious.

"Fire!" At this time, the two sides were two kilometers apart. At this distance, Bauert couldn't wait to give an order to fire!

The body of the Panther 3 tank trembled, and the 88mm armor-piercing projectile pierced the air and flew to the opposite side. After flying for almost three seconds, it accurately slammed on the extremely tall body of the opposite side!

The tanker of this tank would never have imagined that his own tank was killed by the opponent two kilometers away!

When the huge explosion sounded, this tank, like a torch, blazed ablaze!

Even the American Sherman tank is not an opponent of the Germans! Before being improved again, the Sherman tank was also the target of the beating!

The tank troops of both sides galloping in the wilderness of Egypt, and a tank battle kicked off.

For the German tank soldiers, this is very desirable. They have not fought a real tank battle since the start of the war. Now, it just happens to be an opportunity!

At the same time, this is also a must for the British. They must show their true ability on the northern defense line and attract the attention of the Germans in order to realize their strategic intentions. Not only can they not lose in this battle. You must also win beautiful!

In the rear, the British Command.

Montgomery kept his face tense, listening to the battle report from the front.

"Our tank troops are attacking the Germans, but the tanks from the United States still cannot beat the Germans in performance. Our casualties are high, but the soldiers are still insisting."

"They must insist. Now, Germany has not dispatched all of their armored forces. We must attract them all to dispatch." Montgomery said.
