Chapter 11: Breakthrough
The private nervously lay beside the old squad leader, although he always thought that the opponent's strength was not enough to threaten them, but when more than a dozen tanks rushed towards his position with billowing yellow dust, the shock was still unimaginable.
The old squad leader is a veteran who has participated in several large-scale battles, and has seen the power of tanks more than once, he pressed the private in the trench to poke out of the trench to look at the head of the tank, and said slowly: "Amande, you can't expose yourself too early against a tank, your rifle can't hurt it, you can only listen to the sound when you hit it." ”
Hearing this, Armand no longer popped his head, sat next to the old squad leader and asked curiously: "Squad leader, you seem to have seen tanks?" ”
The old squad leader laughed and said, "In the last war, my infantry squad worked together to kill a tank, let me tell you, tanks are very bulky, and we can't do anything about them at medium and long distances." But at close range, if we climb up, they can't do anything about us, and when the time comes, we just open the hatch and throw a grenade into it, and it's finished. ”
"Oh! Squad leader, you're so good, so we're just waiting for them to get close now? Aardman looked at the squad leader adoringly and said.
"Yes, when they come, we'll go up and teach this group of cans a lesson!" The reason for the defeat of the third company was obviously not transmitted, not only was the infantry squad waiting for the tanks to approach, but only a few soldiers in the entire position were shooting at the tanks and the small number of infantry who dared to break away from the protection of the tanks.
"Enemy tanks are approaching, less than 100 meters away! Anti-tank group ready! The soldier on the position, who was in charge of monitoring the movement of the enemy, shouted.
"Hey, it's our time!" The old squad leader waved to the soldiers in his squad, and then rushed forward towards a tank with the "explosives bag" used in the exercise.
"Hold your back! Hold your head down! The old squad leader rushed forward as he quickly reminded his soldiers. 100 meters soon ran, the old squad leader stepped over the tank hull, just when the soldiers in the squad were envious and admired to see the squad leader about to "open the hatch" as they said handsomely and throw out the explosives bag in his hand, but the old squad leader lowered his head and jumped down from the car to the side, while jumping back and scolding words such as "shit infantry", the soldiers suddenly looked surprised, as if in response to them, several infantrymen jumped out from behind the car, and with a bad smile on their faces, they did not hesitate to pull the rifle in their hands.
The other "anti-tank death squads" have basically completed half of the task - "dare to die", only one car crew lost protection because the infantry was exposed early, and was lifted from the hatch and carried out from inside, looking at the angry group of "dead people" on the side, the fate of the crew members can be imagined......
"What's going on? How did the anti-tank group 'die' so quickly? The commander of the defense was Lyon's old boss Gust, and at this moment he was angrily slapping the table and asking the adjutant.
The adjutant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Regiment commander, it's not that you don't know Leon, every time there are strange tricks, this time he divided the infantry into groups and put them behind the tanks, we have no effective means of defense." ”
"Hey, where did this kid Leon get so many tricks." Gust shook his head helplessly, he understood how the position of the third company was lost, "But boy, I will also teach you a lesson today, German soldiers are never afraid of sacrifice!" Adjutant, order all the soldiers to abandon their positions and launch a counter-charge against the enemy tank units! After speaking, he took his pistol and walked out of the headquarters and walked to the position.
Manstein was sitting in his tank, calmly directing his troops to advance steadily, all of which were kept at a speed that the infantry could keep up with at a brisk pace.
"We are about to win, and it turns out that the armored forces of the future are the main force of the army!" Manstein said to his driver with a smile.
"yes, I have to say that Major Lyon is really smart!" The driver said with adoration on his face.
"Rush! Let this group of Iron Kings show the power of the infantry! ”
"Damn tin cans, damn panzers! I'm going to blow your head off today! Just as Manstein and the driver were discussing how Lyon was far-sighted, the infantry who were barely defending in the position suddenly rushed out, no wonder, obviously they had 10 times the strength of the opposite side, but they were pressed and couldn't raise their heads, who couldn't stand this matter, so Gust gave an order, and all the soldiers rushed to the tank with red eyes.
"Sir! What are we going to do? The driver saw that something was wrong with this and hurriedly said to Manstein.
Seeing that the situation was out of plan, Manstein was also sweating on his forehead. If you rush up to the infantry, it is okay if there are few people, but if there are too many people and you don't have machine guns, you will easily be drowned by the sea of people.
However, Manstein is worthy of being one of the three famous German generals in the future, and he came up with a trick in a hurry: "Order all the soldiers covering us, attack the enemy, not to win, but to delay the attack of their infantry, and all tanks to increase their speed, regardless of whether there is anyone in front of them, and crash over!" ”
The electromechanical officer in the car asked hesitantly: "However, the other side is our own people." ”
Manstein gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, this is on the battlefield!" The future of the German Panzer Corps depends on this battle! ”
When the mechanics heard this, they hurriedly gave orders to the other tanks and infantry.
The infantryman, who had been following behind the tank, received the order, dropped his rifle and took off his clothes, rushed shirtless to the opposing infantryman, and then scuffled with them.
As soon as the tank drivers saw that their infantry was already fighting with the opposite side, they hurriedly accelerated the speed of the tanks and rushed forward.
The infantry on the opposite side saw that the tank was speeding up and rushing towards them, although they were all red-eyed, but after all, it was still an exercise, most of them did not dare to stop it with their lives, and they retreated to the side, but there were still some people who jumped on the tank head-on without fear of death, and the tanks that lost the protection of the infantry, as long as they were jumped into the car, they were basically sentenced to death, and the hatches were lifted one by one, and the crew members were dragged out of it, and then they were pressed to the ground by a group of angry infantry and beaten, and only a small number of tanks rushed out of the encirclement and drove to the destination.
Manstein could have rushed out, but his goddess of luck obviously had a period today, his car broke down while driving, and then a group of infantry caught up from behind, Manstein smiled bitterly at his crew, and then roared loudly: "German Panzers will never surrender!" Then he pushed open the hatch and jumped out of it.
The other members saw that the boss had jumped out, wouldn't it be very shameless if they didn't jump? Then he jumped out.
Manstein and his crew members rolled and scuffled with the infantry, and it was also thanks to the fact that Manstein was in the prime of life, otherwise he might have been killed.
