Chapter 185 Tank Duel 2
A loud bang came from outside the tank to the ears of the British commander, and it turned out to be the logs and floating soil that were camouflaged on the tank, and under the impact of the tank, they instantly became torn apart. In the tunnel, the tank, which had been hidden for several days, finally saw the light of day and appeared on the battlefield.
Just now there was an unobstructed view of the British position. Nearly a hundred British tanks suddenly appeared. Dozens of machine gunners of the first battalion of the tank regiment, who were responsible for monitoring the situation on the battlefield, were directly taken aback. By the time they had recovered from the shock and demanded that their tanks immediately retreat and prepare for a counterattack.
The remaining 100 or so Covenanter cruiser tanks of the British tank force had all been aimed at the 40 Grizzly Medium Tanks of the Forty Grizzly Medium Tanks that had been lined up in a row while they were still in charge.
A series of crisp cannon sounds sounded on the battlefield, and armor-piercing shells wrapped in flames quickly erupted from the muzzles of the 75 mm caliber tank guns of British tanks. And then, at supersonic flight speeds. A battalion of tanks was smashed a few hundred meters away.
The explosion of the booming shell had just sounded, and a ball of fire, mixed with a large amount of black smoke, had already risen from the point of impact. A whole dozen main battle tanks, for the first time. Enveloped in smoke from the explosion of a shell.
In the eyes of the British, the tanks of the Africans hit by their own armor-piercing shells were undoubtedly devastating.
See the amazing results you have achieved in the blink of an eye. All the gunners inside the almost a hundred tanks of the British army. At the same time as the excitement, quickly adjust the muzzle. Prepare to continue firing armor-piercing shells at the remaining tanks on the opposite side, and try to take out the opponent as soon as possible.
However, in just a few seconds. These tank officers and soldiers, who had been trained by the Red Police System and had been strictly trained on weekdays, had quickly reacted from the sudden accident and hurriedly launched a counterattack operation.
Quickly pushed a shiny armor-piercing bullet into the chamber of the gun. The tank cannon hall with the thickness of the mouth of the rice bowl quickly began to operate, locking the sudden Japanese tanks in front of them in the standard star of the shelling eye.
The second round of shelling of the British tank forces had not yet begun, and a dull string of shelling was already sounding from the direction of the tank group opposite.
All Grizzly tanks that were not hit by the first round of armor-piercing shells of British tanks quickly erupted from the muzzle of orange flames. Wrapped in this flame, armor-piercing bullets made of tungsten alloy flew towards their respective targets with a sharp and piercing whistling sound.
At a distance of hundreds of meters, it takes less than a second for a fast-flying shell. The dull sound of cannon ejection had just sounded, and the violent explosion of the shells, as well as the smoke produced, had already spread and risen from the position of the British tank group opposite.
Balls of fire, mixed with a large amount of smoke, rose into the air of the British tanks. As far as the eye can see, the British tank cluster, which has assembled nearly 100 tanks, has lost more than one-third of it in the blink of an eye. More importantly, more than a dozen of the tanks at the forefront were blown apart directly by the explosion of armor-piercing shells, turning into a huge fireball.
Shocked by the tremendous power of African tanks, the second round of shells from all the remaining tanks of the British army had already flown out of the chamber. Enveloped in orange flames, it slammed into the remaining grizzly tank that had not yet been enveloped in smoke.
And at this moment, a scene that made all British people incredible and unforgettable for a lifetime appeared in front of everyone.
A breeze blew, and the thick smoke that shrouded around the tank was blown away in an instant. In the eyes of all the British, most of the dozens of tanks that had been hit by armor-piercing shells and destroyed in the first round of shelling were standing there intact.
Not only that, but the long barrels of those tanks began to swing again as the smoke cleared.
The dull sound of cannon ejection sounded from those tanks, and dozens of orange-red flames quickly erupted from the muzzles of those tank guns. Subsequently, the dozens of remaining tanks of the British army were enveloped in the sound of explosions and the thick smoke of gunpowder from the explosion of shells.
At this time, the commander of the British tank unit was already soaking wet from his own sweat in the tank. In two rounds of engagement, their own tanks lost another two-thirds. His own tank force seems to be more than lucky. As a European, he naturally does not have the belief that the Orientals will never surrender in a bloody battle. At this time, he was also scared, and he had already guessed the ending.
So the British tank commander boldly ordered the remaining tanks to surrender to the African tank unit. To use an ancient Chinese saying, it is difficult to protect yourself when you have crossed the river in the mud, where is there still kung fu to save others.
After the African People's Liberation Army saw that the tank units of the Anglo-French forces on the opposite side had surrendered, they ignored these tanks of the Anglo-French forces that had chosen to surrender. These APLA tank units again formed a battle formation after passing through the tank units of the Anglo-French forces. Roll on. This made the two monks who had already surrendered to the tank forces of the British and French forces scratch their heads.
Other British and French troops also witnessed this battle, but the result of the battle made them very disappointed, and more than 100 tanks of one of their tank units were lost in the blink of an eye. As an opponent, a tank regiment of the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) basically suffered no losses under the two rounds of blows by more than 100 tanks of the Japanese Empire.
Faced with this completely one-sided battle in front of him, the commander of the 33rd Brigade of the British Army, who was on the side, could hardly believe his eyes. Through the binoculars, it was repeatedly confirmed that more than 100 of the Empire's latest tanks that had carried out sorties had been blown into a pile of scrap metal by the other side. The rest wisely chose to surrender, and then looked back at the tank units of the African People's Liberation Army that had already settled the battle, and after crossing one trench after another in a fast and orderly manner, he finally chose to face this fact with a shocked face.
After a brief moment of consternation, the commander understood that his side had lost the cover of the tank unit. In the ensuing battle that may break out, under the attack of the other side, the Anglo-French army, which is almost not equipped with heavy weapons such as direct-fire artillery, is left with the fate of being slaughtered by this group of black troops, which is also the only ending on their own side.
