"This is the tracks of the Tiger tank." Looking at the traces left by the tank tracks on the ground, Winters's tone was slightly surprised, "The Germans really spent a lot of money and were ready to defend here, and they actually transferred their Overlord-level Tiger tank." ”

The Tiger tank is a classic in the German army during World War II.

Yan Zhi had long heard of the prestige of the Tiger tank, and now when he heard Winters talk about it, his yearning for it suddenly rose.

Yan Zhihao wanted to see the honor of the Tiger tank.

I hadn't seen a Tiger tank in a museum before the crossing.

Even if I've seen it, it's just one time and another.

A static, no-ammunition Tiger tank is like a dead tiger or lion, and if it has no vitality, it will not have a shocking effect in people's hearts.

But curiosity is curiosity, worship is worship, he is now on the battlefield, and he can only find a way to kill the Tiger tank that he is curious about and worship.

The sudden appearance of the German Tiger tank was a trench that the 101st Airborne Division had to face.

Although the Tiger tank was not invincible, at this time the 101st Airborne Division had no weapons that could match it, and could only use asymmetric weapons - anti-tank mines.

Using anti-tank mines to blow up tanks is easier said than done.

The soldiers who go to blow up the tank have to pay a great price if they want to get close to the tank.

On the brutal battlefield, especially in the fierce battle, those soldiers who were ordered to bomb tanks basically died nine times and never returned.

As far as the 101st Airborne Division, which currently has no heavy weapons, can only use the tactics of soldiers and wolves to bomb the German tanks.

This is a pack of wolves with flesh and blood, and a cold-blooded tiger god who has a hard body of steel.

As long as the two sides exchanged fire in an all-out manner, within 20 minutes, the Germans would know that the 101st Airborne Division had no heavy weapons and could only send infantry to bomb the Tiger tanks with anti-tank grenades.

Therefore, the German infantry will withdraw their air defense, strengthen the protection of the Tiger tank on the ground, and will not easily let the Allied soldiers get within a hundred meters of the tank.

If you want to blow up a tank with an anti-tank grenade, the soldier must be at least within 20 or 30 meters of the tank before he has a chance to throw the grenade into the belly of the tank.

Approaching five meters, there is a chance to blow up and fix the tail fin to the weakest part of the tank's defensive steel armor.

The Germans naturally knew that as long as they could protect the Tiger tanks, the Tiger tanks would deal a fatal blow to the 101st Airborne Division.

"I'm glad we're here." Winters looked at the traces left by the tank tracks, stretching towards the thorny field to the east of the German division headquarters, "We must blow up these Tiger tanks, their sudden appearance will bring insurmountable damage to our attacking troops." ”

Yan Zhi squatted beside Winters and looked around vigilantly: "Can you tell how many Tiger tanks they have?" ”

Winters stared ahead.

"Looking at the track footprints left by these tanks, there must be at least two or three Tiger tanks."

Winters almost lay on the ground: "Huh? ……

Looking at the footprints of the tracks, there should be two more Leopard tanks.

The intelligence departments of the Allied forces, all of which were buckets for eating, did not know that Germany had deployed Tiger and Leopard tanks here. ”

The Tiger tank is powerful and powerful in attack, and can destroy any defensive formation of the opponent, even if it is a bunker made of reinforced concrete, it is vulnerable in front of it.

The Leopard tank is flexible and mobile, although its attack power is slightly inferior to the Tiger tank, but it uses light and fast mobility to cover its own infantry to quickly penetrate the enemy's hinterland, which is the best weapon to penetrate the defense.

The Tiger and Leopard tanks were in the limelight on the battlefields of World War II.

At the beginning of World War II, the Allies had reached the point where they talked about Tiger tanks and Leopard tanks, and suddenly changed color.

Winters whispered: "Major Yan, let's go check how many tanks the Germans have, and where these tanks are, and we have to find a way to blow them all up." ”

Yan Zhi remembered that before leaving for Normandy, each soldier had an anti-tank mine in his leg pocket and a Jamon two-pound plastic bomb, which was specially designed to deal with tanks.

Yan Zhi's leg bag was lost when he landed, not only him, but many soldiers' leg bags could not be found after landing, and Omaha Beach at that time was in chaos.

However, some of the soldiers' leg bags were saved, but there were no bombs with him and Winters at this time.

At this time, there was ice on the ground, which was a little slippery, and the two took advantage of the cover of thorn bushes and fog to follow the traces left by the tank's tracks on the ground and look for the tank.

In the early hours of the morning, it was silent on both sides of the river, and even the sound of sniper rifles completely stopped.

The German defense line along the river had been consolidated, so their rear soldiers seized time to rest.

Both sides knew that after dawn it would be a tragic and unprecedented life-and-death battle.

For the 101st Airborne Division to open this line of defense of the Germans, it had to attack at all costs.

Yan Zhi pulled open his sleeves and looked at his watch, 4:53!

Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in Yan Zhi's heart that the Allies would attack before dawn.

At this moment, Yan Zhi had a plan in his heart.

Having moved forward more than a hundred meters along the thorn bushes that had been crushed by the tank, the tank's tracks turned around and headed northeast.

Fortunately, the ground was icy, and the very muddy road, which was run over by the tank tracks, was easier to walk.

After walking more than 200 meters, Yan Zhi and Winters finally saw a behemoth, quietly parked under a thorn bush that had been built.

Tiger Tank!

Even though it was surrounded by layers of fog and thorn bushes, Yan Zhi could still feel this steel beast, bursting with endless surging energy all over his body.

The two relied on the cover of the thorn bush next to the tank, and surveyed that there were a total of five Tiger tanks and three Leopard tanks parked here.

This thorn bush was surprisingly quiet, and the Germans did not send anyone to stand guard in such an important tank area.

It may be that the Germans thought that they had completely blocked the Allies on the other side of the river, or that they thought that in such foggy weather, no one would know that there would be tanks hidden in the thorn bushes.

If there are anti-tank bombs around at this time, the duo can easily destroy all of them.

"We're going back now, we're going back and getting the Gambler bombs, and we have to blow up all the German tanks before dawn, otherwise they'll be a nightmare for the Allies," Winters said. ”

Back at the building where the German army parked the corpses, Li Dazui stayed outside and waited for Yan Zhi and Winters to come back.

Zhao Fugui had led the soldiers safely a few minutes ago, and now everyone was hiding on the third floor.

The soldiers of the Independence Company and the E Company never imagined that they would be accompanied by so many corpses in this terrible night.

This experience is a bit scary, and in the future, it will be enough for them to brag in front of others for half a lifetime.

On the third floor, Yan Zhi and Winters rearranged the task.
