"Sir, the barrel is clean!" A soldier against von?? Second Lieutenant Rosen reported.

"Well, that's good! Go help Mueller scrub the fan. "Feng?? Second Lieutenant Lawson was crouching next to his Tiger tank, helping to change the load wheels. Compared with ordinary tanks, the double-layer load wheels of the German Tiger tank have many advantages, such as the most stable load wheels when driving. This allowed the German tank to stabilize its body more quickly and fire lethal shells when performing short stops. For example, with this type of load wheel, the maximum pressure on the ground is also reduced. This can also improve the tank's passing ability.

But this type of load wheel also has a lot of disadvantages. First of all, when driving, obligations such as dirt and stones can easily get stuck between the two layers of load wheels, resulting in the load wheels being stuck or even directly damaged. In the bitter cold season on the Eastern Front, after one night, the tiger's two layers of weight wheels may also freeze together and be unable to move. In addition, the load wheels are more easily damaged in the event of a blow than the thicker single-layer load wheels, for example, if a howitzer shell explodes nearby.

What's worse is that this kind of load wheel is also very troublesome to maintain, for example, if one of the inner wheels is broken, you must first remove the two outer load wheels before you can replace the load wheel. For example, now, von?? Ensign Rosen's Tiger tank had several broken wheels on one side. It needs to be removed and replaced one by one, which can take a lot of time.

"Company commander!" A scout ran over.

Feng?? Second Lieutenant Rosen jumped up from the ground all at once: "Where are the Britons now?" Did they call? ”

"Company commander, no. The British are now about three kilometers away from us, but they don't know why they stopped. The scout replied, "They were around a -4 tank, probably because it was broken." ”

"! How is this possible? "Feng?? Second Lieutenant Rosen exclaimed, "Do you see clearly? Go back, see clearly, and come back! ”

Tanks break down on their way to the battlefield and that's one of the most common things in war, and if you were in Germany, well, you don't have to think about it, someone would push it to the side of the road, and then the army would move on - the soldiers are very fast, and the tank troops are even more so. How is it possible for a tank unit to stop all because a tank has broken down? The British, again not newcomers to the battlefield, how could they make such a mistake?

The scout seemed to want to defend himself, but looked at Feng?? Second Lieutenant Lawson thought about it again, probably because he also found it hard to believe, so he asked Feng ?? Second Lieutenant Lawson saluted, and then ran off into the distance.

"About three kilometers, in a few minutes, they can kill here." Feng?? Second Lieutenant Rosen looked around, "But now, only 6 tanks have regained the ability to fire, and as for the ability to move, no one will be able to recover it for at least an hour." ”

Thinking of this, Feng?? Second Lieutenant Lawson fell into deep despair: "Even if the enemy grinds hard, he will definitely be able to kill here within fifteen minutes." At that time, it will be time for everyone to die together, right? ”

I don't know how long it took, Feng?? Second Lieutenant Lawson had already rotated the loads, and the broken tracks had also been replaced, but the British still did not come.

"What are the British doing?" The outlandish behavior of the British made Von?? Second Lieutenant Lawson's heart is getting more and more bottomless. At this time, his tank was left with the engine cooling system that had not been cleaned up. This is a jīng job, and the space on the tank is limited, so he can't help much, so he explained to the crew, "You guys hurry up and fix it, I'll take a look in front", and ran forward.

……

"Nima's, how is this possible?" Feng?? Second Lieutenant Lawson looked up from behind the binoculars at the observation post in a trance, "This is not scientific! They, how could they have a picnic at this time! ”

"Company commander, you saw it too...... They're really ......," Scout Finn also looked surprised.

"Well, you come closer." Feng?? Second Lieutenant Rosen said.

"What's the matter?" Finn leaned in, "Ouch! Company commander, what are you pinching me for? ”

"Know it hurts? It doesn't seem to be a dream......"

That's it, von?? Ensign Rosen and Scout Finn watched and waited and waited in that observation post. They saw that the white picnic mats were spread out, they saw that the plates were set up, they saw the Englishmen sitting down leisurely, and they saw the Englishmen begin to eat in large gulps...... I saw them hungry all the time, and those British people were still there to bask in the sun leisurely!

"Company commander, you see, the enemy's attack aircraft have also returned. They're not going to stop fighting, are they? Fein said.

"How is that possible? Could it be that so many bombs were dropped today just to get them out for a picnic? ”

"Company commander, look, a few more vehicles have come, it seems to be engineering vehicles."

……

Forward command of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing.

"What? These Englishmen stopped to eat! This is unreasonable! Boeing, who was acting for Ron, was so angry that he scolded, "Dogs, Lao Tzu's pilots haven't even eaten lunch!" Did they go to war or to go on an outing? …… Running out of fuel? So what are you waiting for? Come back for dinner! ”

Speaking of which, Boington's impression of the British has always been not good, and the main reason for this is that he thinks the British are too fond of posturing. They always make a joke in front of Americans, and they always like to look at Americans with a hillbilly look.

"Do they still think they're the world boss? Without us, they're birds! "When Ron was not injured, Boeington said this to Ron more than once.

"Ah, they only showed this because they knew that the world boss was not them." Ron replied at the time, "When a once great power is inevitably going into decline, this is the only way they can maintain their self-esteem." Daddy, you should be sympathetic, sympathetic and sympathetic. ”

Although Boington felt that Ron's words without a dirty word were more relieving than his scolding, when it came to sympathy for the British, Boeington really felt that he could not find such a psychology at all.

"Captain, are you going to send out the next wave of attack planes?"

"Let's have a pup, eat first!"

"The next batch of pilots has already eaten!"

"Then let them take a nap first!"

"Yes!" The herald turned around and went to tell the pilots to go to bed.

"Wait...... Let the pilots go. "Ron is right, the Brits are bastards, but at least they're the bastards on our side now!" ”

……

Just when several P/A-38s, which were supposed to provide direct fire support to the British, returned home, and the newly dispatched P/A-38 attack aircraft had not yet arrived, the British engineering vehicles arrived first. They introduced a road on the railroad that would allow wheeled vehicles to pass, so the British packed up their cups and cutlery, jumped on their tanks, and went on the offensive.

Company B Commander Bill?? At the sound of Kros's order, the British tanks that had crossed the railway line began to form battle formations. They lined up Sherman tanks armed with 75-millimeter guns at a distance of thirty-six meters, while the Fireflies, armed with deadly 17-pounder guns, followed in a trapezoidal formation. In an encounter, people will instinctively fire at the nearest tank. Then, when the Germans opened fire and were exposed, the "fireflies" hiding behind had a chance to use the terrible 17-pounder cannon to eliminate those tigers and leopards.

……

"Brothers, are the tanks all fixed?" Feng?? Second Lieutenant Rosen asked.

"It's fixed! Now wait to repair the British! "The morale of the soldiers looks good.

"Sir, when are the Britons coming? Have they finished eating? We're all hungry! ”

"Those fat pigs have been sent to the door," Feng?? Second Lieutenant Rosen jumped on his tank, held his turret in one hand and said, "Let's go kill them first, and then go back to dinner!" Then he got into the tank, left half of his body outside the turret, raised his right arm high, and swung forward: "Go!" A puff of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipes of his tanks, and the 57-ton behemoths began to move slowly......

……

The British tanks were still slowly advancing, and suddenly, a tank No. 4 appeared in their field of vision. It was a lone German tank, and it fired a shot at the British 4 tanks first, but this shell did not hit. Of course, this tank never had a chance to fire a second shell, and the Qi shè of several "Fireflies" immediately turned it into a big fireball.

But this victory did not make the British happy, on the contrary, they are now getting more and more nervous. The appearance of this No. 4 tank shows that this operation is not an armed parade as they imagined, and the enemy still has remnants of armored forces!

Just seconds after the destruction of the No. 4 tank, several shells fell into the British tank group. The shells fell to the ground and exploded in clouds of smoke, and the British looked around in a panic, but they couldn't see where the shells were coming from.

Some of the anti-tank guns and assault guns survived the air raid just now, and the Germans ambushed them on the side of the line where the British were advancing, and the land that had been blown up in the air raid was just right for the Germans to build fortifications. While the British were having a picnic, the Germans built anti-tank fortifications here. Now these anti-tank guns and assault guns were half-buried in the fortifications, exposing only the barrels to fire at the British. The British were so struck that they could not find out where the attackers were.

However, the hastily built fortifications of the Germans also had many problems. For example, the ground near the muzzle was not watered, which made it possible for the Germans to kick up dust on the ground every time the gun was fired. So the British, having suffered a lot of shells and lost several tanks, finally discovered these enemies.

So the British tanks began to turn to the German anti-tank gun and assault gun positions. There are nothing more than some PAK-40s and assault guns No. 3. Although they caught the British by surprise, the British, who had a clear numerical advantage, were still able to solve these troubles once they found their target.

But at this moment, the "fireflies" at the back of the line were beaten into big fireballs one after another. Then from behind the British, as many as 11 Tiger tanks rushed out.

In the surprise attack launched from behind by the 3rd Company of the German 50 Triple Tank Battalion, the British lost all the "Fireflies", which was almost a death notice to all the British vehicles still on the battlefield. Because there is no way to fight the Tiger tank with the remaining 4 with only 75 mm short barrel guns, and their guns cannot penetrate the Tiger tank at zero distance. As a result of their own delays, the British had fallen into a mortal trap.
