Chapter Eighty-Six: Ambush

"St. Gloriana's team has now passed E5 and is about to reach F5, so please get ready."

"Yes!" ””

At this time, No. 4 was hiding in a small alley with 38(t), ready to attack. Miho herself, on the other hand, leaned half of her body out of the car and was looking around with a telescope.

Don't ask why Miho would know that the convoy of Raw St. Gloriana had passed E5, and the tracks not far away had betrayed them deeply.

Although Oarai Town was designed with the competition field in mind as a battle lane, the ground was deliberately designed to be very hard, so that ordinary chariots would not leave any traces when they drove by. But the convoy that could not stand St. Gloriana came from the suburbs, and the tracks were already covered with dust, and naturally left deep marks on the ground.

Miho lowered her binoculars, then turned around and waved her hand to the chairman, who was also halfway out behind her.

"As soon as the troops in the square and St. Gloriana's convoy begin to exchange fire, our side will immediately attack them from the rear. When we attacked, Group A rushed out first, and Group B followed behind us, understand? ”

"Understand and understand~, leave it to me, small ~ west ~ live ~"

"Well, then, remember to follow us later." After Miho finished speaking, she retreated into the cabin and closed the hatch with her hand.

---------------I'm the dividing line---------------

"Is this the square, but where is Oarai's chariot?"

Through the commander's periscope, Darjeeling quickly swept the entire square, but did not find a single chariot.

"Lord Darjeeling, didn't you see Da Washi's chariot?" The orange and yellow on the side tilted his head in confusion.

"Well, I didn't see anything. Could it be that I'm thinking too much? Didn't Dairai ambush here at all? ”

Thinking of this, the corners of Darjeeling's mouth twitched suddenly, if this is the case, then he is really being tricked.

"The whole team, stay vigilant, enter the square slowly, and be careful not to be sneak attacked."

"Understood!" ”””

Boom――――

As soon as Darjeeling finished speaking, a cannonball flew through the grass not far away, and accurately hit a Matilda on St. Gloriana's side. The Matilda was unable to resist the cannon, and slowly stopped, and a small white flag was extended from above the turret.

"It's ......"

---------------I'm the dividing line---------------

"Knocked it out." After Takako Suzuki finished speaking, she put down the captain's periscope in her hand.

"Oh!" The cabin burst into cheers.

The ambush just now was naturally the Linu group who used the No. 3 assault gun, and in order to ensure the hit rate, they deliberately pulled St. Gloriana's chariot to a close range before launching the attack.

As for why it hasn't been found so closely? You know, but there is a good thing called grass, and the body of the three protrusions is short, and the green grass in the square can completely hide the body inside.

In order to ensure the concealment effect, the Liwen group even covered the chariot with a camouflage net, so that it was impossible to be detected if it squatted in the grass.

Don't ask where did the camouflage net come from? All I can say is home field advantage...... Hehe.

After the attack of the Linu group, B1bis and M3 Lee, who were also ambushed next to them, couldn't sit still.

B1bis rushed out of the entrance to the underground garage and quickly aimed at another Matilda next to the Churchill VII.

Maruki and Harukimi pulled the trigger almost at the same time, and the 47mm SA34 and 75mm SA35 also let out a roar, and two armor-piercing bullets flew towards the Matilda.

The first to arrive, the 47mm ODRmle.1932 slammed into the front of Matilda's turret, but it was clear that the shell was not powerful enough to penetrate Matilda's 75mm thick turret frontal armor, and there was no further action after a metallic crash.

Of course, the 75mm shell in the back was not able to make any effective attack, and Matilda's frontal armor was also 75mm thick, which was naturally not penetrating by the howitzer with only 17.1 times the caliber.

Matilda, on the other hand, was not idle, and also put the B1bis into the aiming ring. After learning from the captain that the MK.2 type APCNR (ArmorPiercing) cannot be used

CompositeNonRigid), the commander of the Matilda decisively gave up his plan to trouble the No. 3 assault gun, after all, the 80mm frontal armor of that thing is really difficult to fight with the MK.IXBT APCBC.

However, the B1 is obviously much easier to fight, and the B1's turret with a thickness of only 46mm is obviously the type that can be penetrated if hit, so Matilda's commander decisively asked the gunner to attack the B1.

After being beaten twice, it was Matilda's turn to fight back. After aiming her crosshairs at the B1's turret, Matilda pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The MK.X two-pounder gun mounted on the Matilda roared and quickly sent an MK.IXBT hood-piercing shell in the direction of the B1bis.

However, probably due to the small size of the B1 turret, Matilda's gunner aimed a bit low. As a result, the shell failed to hit the B1bis' turret, instead hitting the body armor underneath the turret.

The MK.IXBT APCBC, which has a penetration of only 73mm per 100 meters, naturally failed to penetrate the 60mm thick inclined armor on the B1 head, and could only unwillingly leave a white mark on it.

In other words, the firefight between B1bis and Matilda ended in a tie with no one being able to help the other.

Of course, this was not a one-on-one heads-up, and B1bis' teammates were not idle, and just as B1 and Matilda were exchanging fire, the M3 Lee, who rushed out of the exit on the other side of the underground parking lot, also completed his aim at the Matilda.

Aya Ohno on the M3 Lee attacked first, and a cannonball quickly drilled out of the 37mm M3 gun, giving Matilda a blow. However, the power of the 37mm gun was obviously insufficient, and the shells still failed to damage the Matilda.

However, this Matilda's good fortune ended there, and after Aya Ohno's attack, Yamago Fu also attacked. The 75mm M2 gun in the belly of the M3 Li is not a vegetarian, and under the attack of the M61 armor-piercing shells, Matilda's 75mm frontal armor can no longer be carried by it. Matilda shook it slightly, and a small white flag stretched out from above the turret.
