Chapter 782: Tank Armageddon 3

With a ding, another 37mm shell hit the frontal armor of the cricket tank, and the sharp warhead was smashed into pieces by the heavy armor, causing no effect except for a shallow trace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"We're like lions hunting hyenas!" The smell of blood and gunsmoke drove the loader into a frenzy of battle, and he did not tire of removing a new row of 40mm shells from the ammunition magazine behind him, placing them on the feeding plate on the side of the gun, and then pushing hard, with the sound of locking, a new row of shells was reloaded.

"1 o'clock, 700 meters, 1 target!" Rommel once again pointed out the location of the target, the gunner and loader turned the handle together, the turret moved slowly, and then the muzzle of the gun was slightly lowered and the first round of fire was fired, and at 650 meters, three armor-piercing shells flew towards the target with a whizz, two shells missed, and another shell left a terrible penetrating wound on the Renault turret.

The armoured forces of the two sides had just encountered a one-sided slaughter, and the Renault tanks that entered the battlefield did not even have time to familiarize themselves with this terrifying Shura field before they were beaten into a pile of burning iron boxes by accurate mid-range fire. Not only because of the equipment of both sides, but also because of the tactics and training that played a key role.

Although even in the second battle, the combat distance between the tanks to destroy the target is relatively close, generally around 800 meters, but it does not mean that the distance of firing is so close, in fact, generally speaking, when the two sides are about 1500 meters apart, the corrective fire begins. In the later stage, many tankers even began to shoot at 2000 meters, and they gradually locked the target by shooting from the interval, and then approached and killed with one hit.

In this regard, the German Panzers, who could fire continuously and with the aid of machine guns, did a very good job, and the continuous fire was able to bite the opponent very quickly. And most of the French armored soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time were very uncomfortable with this situation, and timely hits from 1000 meters away were very rare, but when the continuous cannon sound was remembered, when the flames exploded next to the hull, the French were immediately confused!

There is no special wireless station communication vehicle, there is no reliable and accurate command system, after a long distance march (1 war standard) into the French chariot formation is very messy, there is no cooperation between them, many chariots just subconsciously drive in the direction of the battlefield, or according to the map, or follow the car in front, when suddenly into the battlefield, after being subjected to a salvo of artillery with a split head and face, the French tanks are even more chaotic, like insulting the encirclement of sheep, they were slaughtered by hunters!

The whistling cannonballs were like knights' spears, in the hands of experienced hunters, easily killing the enemy in the distance, the inverted wedge-shaped battle formation like an eagle spreading its wings easily crushed the opponent's first round of charge, and the backbone of the wasp assault cannon with rough skin and thick flesh and amazing firepower was like the claws of an eagle. The two wings, which are made up of cricket tanks on both sides, are maneuverable, constantly passing between the wreckage and various obstacles, using platoons as the basic combat units, easily harvesting each other's lives.

Rows of Renault tanks were destroyed by armor-piercing shells, and even a 75mm shell pierced a hapless French thin-skinned "sedan" from 600 meters away. A chariot that was still galloping on the battlefield a second ago turned into a part and was thrown into the air in an instant, and then fell one after another, and even smashed into the car of the friendly army next to it, this kind of impact of blood and fire is not something that ordinary people can endure. The Bavarian Legion rumbled past the wrecked French chariots and continued to charge, knowing that their true test was yet to come!

A red light crossed the corner of Rommel's eye, and in less than half a second, a cricket tank on Rommel's left slammed down, accompanied by a violent explosion, and the tank that was still showing off its might just now fell to the side like a drunken drunk, billowing smoke poured out of the breach, and ten seconds later, two tankers stumbled out of it.

"It's FT10, the main owner has arrived, pay attention to vigilance." Half a minute later, a sharp-eyed Rommel saw the FT10 tank destroyer with green smoke from the muzzle of a hill from the side of a hill. Although there was no radio communication, Rommel still got in touch with the platoon next door by relying on flags and signal flares, and after countless drills, the two teams had a perfect cooperation!

The Renault chariots on the outside quickly move forward, they move farther away from their opponents, and they move laterally, making it very difficult for them to hit them, like a cunning lone wolf constantly teasing his opponent outside of the hunter's range and then providing an opportunity for the real killer. While the hills provided cover for the French, they also blocked the view of the opposing side. Two battle platoons rush towards the new opponent in a pincer-like battle formation!

After a series of soft explosions of compressed air, a series of smoke grenades suddenly sounded from behind the French tank positions hidden behind the hills, and the frightened French subconsciously wanted to turn the long hull, although the FT10 itself is a kind of armored truck gun, but in fact, the artillery cannot achieve 360-degree ring fire. If you want to deal with a target behind you, you have to turn the hull, which is very strenuous for a wheeled vehicle, because it is impossible to rely on the different speeds of the two tracks to achieve a small turning radius like a tracked vehicle.

Fortunately, the French also played mixed formation, and a few Renault tanks turned the turret first, but they were faced with nothing but black smoke. With the roar of tanks and the screeching sound of tracks crushing rubble, several steel beasts burst out of the black smoke and pointed their slender 40mm cannons at the FT10 tank, which was struggling to turn in the distance!

"Free fire at full speed!" As Rommel fired a barrage of cannonballs, the two-pound shells roared towards the target, shattering the FT10's side or rear armor like a scythe of death. A series of bullet holes appeared in these new-age French cavalry. Like the scythe of death, the beating muzzle of the cannon sent the squad of French chariots to hell in the first place.

Machine guns, which had a faster rate of fire than the artillery, were also firing, and the Germans were surprised to learn that the Renault tanks, nicknamed sedans, could not even withstand the steel-core armor-piercing shells of 12.7mm machine guns. These bullets easily knocked through the opponent's fragile armor, and then stirred the driver inside into a pulp!

"This discovery deserves to be written into a tactical manual." Rommel looked at the Renault tank in the distance, which had been beaten into a burning iron box by steel core bullets and armor-piercing incendiary shells of large-caliber machine guns, and said with satisfaction.
