As soon as this word came out, Aiken's body was shocked.
In fact, both of them knew very well in their hearts that they had a very small chance of surviving when they stepped out to ambush the German tanks, but they were not afraid. They just wanted to kill the German tanks to prove their fighting courage.
Revenge for Pearl Harbor, revenge for America.
"Sure, wait and see. Load me up quickly. I can kill one more." Aiken said, pushing the bazooka out of the charred ground outside, on the horizon in the distance. , A puff of black smoke has risen, the ground is shaking, and the opponent's tank is coming up.
The German tanks formed the most common triangular offensive array, like a sharp knife, with Panther 3 tanks on the front and sides, and infantry fighting vehicles in the middle and rear. They can all jump out of the vehicle to fight and use their own firepower to make up for the defects of the tank’s blind spot.
One by one triangular offensive array, lined up a full kilometer long offensive line, moved forward, and in front of them was the line of defense of the Kalinin defenders.
The garrison had soldiers, workers, and civilians. They held their rifles and earthen Molotov cocktails, waiting for the final battle.
Several anti-tank guns that survived the artillery strike were now bypassing the potholes and were pushed to the front to prepare for a counterattack.
The Soviet position is tragic. The fighting in the past few days has made them no hope of victory. The first few kilometers of their position have been occupied by the Germans.
"Boom boom, boom boom." The German tank was still advancing, the crawler spun and crushed the ground.
After advancing several hundred meters, they stopped.
There is an anti-tank trench ahead.
Digging anti-tank trenches to block the tanks is the most basic way. As long as the width of the trenches exceeds half the length of the opponent's tank track, it can block German tanks.
In the non-stop excavation work day and night, all the citizens of Kalinin participated, and finally a long trench was dug out. Unfortunately, in front of the Germans, their labor was destined to be in vain.
After the offensive array stopped, the two Panther 3 tanks at the side and rear of the triangular formation drove out. In front of the two tanks, a temporary large shovel was installed.
Just like a bulldozer, the two Panther 3 tanks shoveled up the surrounding dirt and pushed them into the trenches. In less than three minutes, the anti-tank trenches in front were filled.
After returning to the team, the tank formation started again.
Heinz’s tank is located in the center of the entire attacking queue. At the same time, his tank is the first one to have the best view. At the same time, his tank turret is constantly turning left and right, observing the front in a fan. Position, calculating where to unload the infantry.
Although the infantry will hide behind the tank, the bullets on the battlefield do not have eyes, and will pass through the gap, posing a greater threat to the infantry. Therefore, when it is not necessary, the infantry stays in the armored vehicle behind. Guaranteed.
"When it was fifty meters before the position, the infantry got out of the vehicle and fight." He finally gave the order.
The entire formation continued to move forward. At this time, the Soviets' defense line was lonely and silent, as if it had just been bombarded and killed all the defenders.
The vibration became more and more intense. Looking at the tank on the opposite side in the crater, it was almost like a huge steel monster. The moving track made people feel scared.
The first thing for infantry to fight tanks is to overcome their fear.
And now, Aiken is not afraid.
He is just waiting for the opportunity. Theoretically, the bazooka in his hand can shoot the rocket 100 meters away, but the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy. Therefore, it is not good to fire at a long distance. He wants Close to hit.
The opponent's tank is still moving. On his right side, Carl is a little anxious. This is a dead brain, when is he going to fire? Isn't it shocked? These second generations just can't, they usually blow hard, hum, this battle is over, let everyone know what the second generations are!
The opponent's tank was still advancing, one hundred meters, ninety meters, and eighty meters. Finally, Aiken moved.
He stood on the crater, standing, just exposing his head and shoulders, holding his breath, aiming, and then pulling the trigger on the grip.
"Which!" Just as he pulled the trigger, a ray of fire emerged from the bell mouth at the back. It is precisely because of this bell mouth that the bazooka nickname was given, which is very similar to the instrument bazooka. It's just big.
And when the fire came out from behind, from the front, a rocket flew out.
Hardly any traces can be seen. The rocket engine is rapidly burning, and it goes out after going out. It flies forward by inertia. At the same time, the speed is not high, and the trajectory can even be captured with the naked eye.
Oops, forgot to estimate the wind speed!
Aiken found that he had made an amazing mistake. The warhead of his rocket was originally aimed at the last tank on the side of the opponent's queue. From his position, the one that was the easiest to hit.
However, because he did not estimate the wind speed, at this distance, the warhead deviated from the target, and flew away directly from the side of the opponent's car, without hitting.
"Quick, reload," he shouted anxiously.
At this time, Carl did not continue to complain If you want to fight, you have to wait until you get off the battlefield. Now they have to cooperate closely.
Carl quickly pushed the second M6 rocket in from the front, then Aiken stood up, aimed again, and at the same time slightly deflected to one side to correct for the crosswind, then he pressed the trigger again .
"Wow!" The second rocket came out.
The interval between the two of him was very short, only ten seconds, and it was not until he fired the second one that he was discovered by the tanker. What was the flame that had emerged from the shell pit fifty meters away?
If it is well concealed, the bazooka will not be easy to spot, because when it shoots, there is almost no sound, not as loud as a cannon. Of course, its flame is very powerful and easy to expose.
If the German offensive tanks were followed by infantrymen, they would have been spotted when the first rocket flew, but they did not. The field of view on the tank was very small, so it was not quickly spotted.
The second rocket flew towards the tank with a fierce whistling, and the distance at this time was only fifty meters! Aiken squinted, already able to determine that this attack was completely effective.
