The ancient Thermothermal Pass has always been the gateway to Greece, where countless foreign races who tried to conquer Greece were defeated by the Greeks, burying their ambitions to conquer Greece, but there were also those who succeeded. But Thermopylae has always been a strong point in the hearts of the Greeks.

The terrain of Thermopaya Pass, with its cliffs on one side and the sea on the other, did help the Greeks fend off countless enemies. However, in modern times, as the coastline receded, a kilometer of land has now appeared outside Onsen Seki. But that doesn't stop it from becoming a strategic location in Greece.

And today, the battle for the life and death of Greece is once again unfolding here.

"Enemy tanks, ready to fire."

The officer's roar raised Malaca's attention, and he operated an incoming Romanian tank with a 40mm anti-tank gun, which had been in his hands for less than three days.

He had seen this tank in the identification drawing, called the R20 medium tank. The main features are its beveled armor and a large gun shield that can be used as frontal armor for the turret. It is said that the tank weighed more than 30 tons and had very thick frontal armor, and he was not confident that the 40-mm anti-tank gun in his hand would be able to penetrate its armor. Because he heard that in Poland it was armed with 37-mm anti-tank guns that could not penetrate its equipment.

It's just that at the moment there are only such anti-tank guns in the army, and I heard that they were urgently transported from Egypt. I heard that hundreds of doors were shipped at that time, but they were intercepted by the Romanian Navy at sea and suffered a lot of losses, and when they were sent to Greece, only a few dozen doors remained. I heard that this is the latest anti-tank gun of the British army, hoping to stop the Romanian tank.

And the troops they were sent to garrison Hot Springs Pass were divided into more than fifty gates. It can be said that it is quite refreshing.

Isn't it refreshing, now the Greek forces are almost all annihilated in the Battle of Thessaly. At present, the Greek military has less than 250,000 troops under its control, and after deducting the defenders of the islands and the army in Epirus, the Greek government can now control only about 100,000 troops, including the defenders of Crete.

Therefore, the Greek government also has high hopes for the hot springs.

However, the British and French sides are not optimistic about this, and they are already persuading the Greek government to take advantage of the time now and quickly withdraw to Crete (at present, the Romanian fleet mainly intercepts British transport ships off the coast of Crete, and does not intercept Crete in the inland sea because of aircraft).

But these have nothing to do with Malaka, who is in charge of commanding this 40-mm anti-tank gun, and now he can't control it, and now for him, it is important to knock out the tank in front of him and keep his position.

He and his team were well hidden, and the dense bushes kept them and the anti-tank gun well hidden. The Romanians' planes and artillery bombardment did not find themselves, but many of their comrades were not so lucky, and they suffered a lot of losses for various reasons.

Malaca couldn't control all of this, and now he was bent on waiting for the R20 tank in front of him to show its side, or get closer to him.

"Closer, closer."

Malaka lay on the ground, muttering as if the parents were waiting for the return of their children who were playing outside.

As if his words were magical, the R20 started up the gentle slope again, and the powerful horsepower drove the tracks slowly forward through the power wheels.

Seeing that this R20 tank was close to more than 200 meters, even the figure of its observation hole could be seen. Malaka felt that this was the best opportunity and immediately gave the order. "Ready!"

He sheathed the tank with a doji and pulled the gun rope.

"Bang!" Lazy people listen to books

The muzzle sprayed 40 mm armor-piercing shells directly hit the front diagonal armor plate of the R20 tank, and the huge impact force caused the armor to be carved a crater, but the exhausted shells did not penetrate the armor.

Although the shells failed to penetrate the R20 tank, the huge kinetic energy still caused it to stop.

"Good chance!"

Seeing that this R20 tank was stopped on the spot, Malaka naturally would not let it go. One shell can't do it, so how many are there?

So taking advantage of the moment when the R20 tank was down, Malaka and his team gave full play to their full potential, firing nearly 30 shells in just two minutes. There were so many shells that the R20 tank in front of me clanged, but not a single shell penetrated its armor.

This result made Malaka's face very ugly, and when he saw that the tanks that were constantly being attacked began to rumble again, he secretly said that it was not good. Now the recovered tank will definitely find a target to attack itself, and the smoke of continuous shooting could not be dispersed for a long time, so he is not an obvious target here.

Seeing that the tank battery had been turned around, Malaka knew that it was impossible to do it, and hurriedly shouted. "Run!" After saying that, he ran out.

"Boom!"

The 75mm gun from the R20 tank destroyed the 40mm anti-tank gun with grenades, and Malaka, who ran first, survived. It's just that although he ran fast, the R20 tank that had already topped up here was unwilling to give up, only to see a burst of on-board machine gun sound, and Malaka's eyes were dark and he didn't know anything.

The battle situation at Thermopylae Pass was similar, relying on its own armor and air superiority of the Romanian army, which made the defending Greek army extremely uncomfortable.

The 1st Armored Division of the Panzer Corps, together with the 54th Motorized Division, are both elite units of Romania. It is equipped with tanks and self-propelled guns.

Hot Spring Pass is not as dangerous as in ancient times, and it is as dangerous as in ancient times, but under the cooperation of ground and air and the blow of modernization, its terrain advantage has been greatly reduced.

Faced with this situation, General Hippock, as the commander of the defending army, felt that the battle situation was very difficult. The reason is very simple, he, lacking anti-aircraft and anti-armor means, has no good way to deal with it. And relying on the soldiers to resist the enemy's attack will greatly hurt their morale.

Speaking of anti-tank means, Hippock had a belly full of gas. The 40-mm anti-tanks sent by the British were completely powerless to equip the R20 tanks, except for the R10 tanks, which could penetrate the Romanians head-on at medium and close range.

Officers had reported that several anti-tank guns had fired almost all of their shells at an R20 tank, and the other side continued to press on the position as if nothing happened.

At present, the tank has become a soldier's inner demon, and wherever such a tank appears, the soldier's sense of battle will decline rapidly. Because they have no countermeasures against this, they can only use the most primitive human blasting methods.

It's just that this method is too demoralizing, and it will make the already low morale of the Greek defenders even more demoralized. It's a vicious circle, and Hippock knows it, but what can he do?

He lacks everything, and he can't give him anything, so he can only use the lives of his soldiers to consume the enemy, but he only has less than 20,000 officers and soldiers in his hands, and how many people are willing to face this situation calmly?

He didn't know, he really didn't.
