And now Lyon is also in trouble like Hitler, or even worse - Hitler in the previous life only surrounded 400,000 Allied troops, and in this life, Lyon in order to better fight the Allied forces, after some efforts, surrounded more than 600,000 in one go!

The dumplings are big and round, but how to eat them has become a problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, Leon finally came up with a plan, which was to let the armored forces attack, but instead of sending the main forces of the armored forces, tanks No. 3 and No. 4, they would send light tanks No. 2, which had taken a back seat.

The main reason why Lyon came up with this method was that the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks would remain the mainstay of the German tank for a long time to come. According to Lyon's plan, after the end of the war against Britain and France on the Western Front, these tanks will be arranged to be extensively modified in batches, and then put into use against the Soviet Union against the early T-34 tanks. At the same time, the factory began to develop and produce the No. 5 "Leopard" tank, with a large number of low-cost, simple-process, powerful, and excellent defense "Stalker" tank destroyers against the Soviet Union's future T-34/85 tank sea, so that the German army could crush the Soviet Union's tank performance from beginning to end.

As for the No. 2 tank that has now taken a back seat, it is obvious that no matter how it is modified, it will not be able to fight against the future Soviet tanks, and it is somewhat reluctant to use it against the Allied tanks now, so according to the plan of the high command, as soon as the war on the Western Front is over, all the No. 2 tanks will be decommissioned and thrown to the armored forces academy to train new tankers.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Leon felt that instead of letting the No. 2 tanks gradually rust into scrap metal in the armored forces academy in the future, it would be better for them to exert their last residual heat on the battlefield in Xixian County and replace the elite allied troops surrounded in Dunkirk.

Moreover, as a light tank, the No. 2 tank has no higher requirements on the battlefield than the No. 3 and No. 4 medium tanks, and a higher pass rate represents a faster advance speed.

And as I said before, this world is fair, and every seemingly perfect plan will definitely pay an equal amount of price behind it, and Lyon's plan to use the No. 2 tank to attack will also have its corresponding price, that is, with the thin-skinned No. 2 tank being destroyed in large numbers, the number of casualties of the armored corps will also usher in the climax since the beginning of the war.

But Leon was ready to accept it with a smile - he knew full well that for every Allied soldier eliminated in Dunkirk, there might be ten fewer corpses of German soldiers on the beaches of England in the future.

War is always brutal, and sometimes sacrifice is necessary.

Back to the battlefield.

Although the more elite tank crews of the German army all drive No. 3, No. 4 and even Tiger tanks, and the old-fashioned tanks that can be equipped with No. 2 are basically tank crews that have just left school, they are German armored troops after all, and the tactical literacy they should have is not bad at all, so the commander of this tank platoon almost instantly analyzed the battlefield situation and what kind of response methods should be taken.

And Lyon's advantage of spending a lot of money to equip each tank with a radio came into play, and in the dark of night, the commander did not have to worry about the transmission of orders, only to press the microphone in the throat.

"The British have anti-tank guns! The cars immediately accelerated, and we were able to rush to their positions as fast as we could! ”

Soon, four taps sounded in the commander's headset, and it was the other four tank commanders telling him that the order had been received.

As the throttle was pressed to the bottom, the 180-horsepower gasoline engine produced by Dalem Benz let out a roar, and the speed of the 12-ton tank quickly increased from 10 kilometers per hour to 30 kilometers per hour, while the gunners of each vehicle also operated 20mm rapid-fire guns to continuously tilt high-explosive grenades into British positions.

However, the acceleration of the five tanks made the infantry behind start to curse their mother.

Losing the cover of the tanks, more than 40 infantry were all exposed to British fire, although the British could not see the specific position of the German infantry very clearly, but the bullets flying randomly did not need to see where the people were.

"Ahh I've been shot! I've been shot! ”

The hapless German infantrymen were constantly hit by flying bullets and fell to the ground wailing, while the most unlucky ones were directly hit by stray bullets in vital points such as the head, and went to God without saying a word.

"Bastard! Are these tank-driving idiots? Under the strong firepower of the British army, the German infantry platoon had to stop the pace of the attack, find cover on the spot and fire at the British.

The British 40mm anti-aircraft guns here took advantage of their fast rate of fire, firing several shells at the No. 2 tank that was speeding over, directly hitting two of the five tanks.

One of them was a little luckier, but it was broken and the left load wheel was lost, and the crew quickly withdrew from the tank and hid in a safe seat.

The second tank was more unlucky, it was hit directly by a 40mm armor-piercing projectile on the front of the hull, the main armor on the front of the hull of the second tank was only 30mm, and the 50-degree inclination angle could only make it equivalent to about 47mm, which was simply unable to withstand the British 40mm solid armor-piercing projectile at a distance of 200 meters.

At the moment of being hit, the kinetic energy carried by the armor-piercing projectile generated a high temperature at the contact site, and while penetrating the armor, it also shattered part of the armor, forming a deadly shrapnel - the protector instantly turned into a hunter.

Fragments of metal rushed into the cab along with the armor-piercing projectile and wreaked havoc inside, the driver at the front was the first to bear the brunt, he was pierced through the body by more than a dozen small fragments, one of which even cut off his half-pulled head, and bright red blood mixed with brains sprinkled all over the cab walls.

The loader behind him was much more lucky, but his left calf was knocked off by the body of the 40mm armor-piercing bullet, and he wailed that he was pulled out of the tank by the commander who only received minor injuries.

However, before the two could evacuate to safety, they were cared for by several British soldiers, and several Mark VII pointed all-armor bullets from Lee Enfield rifles hit the two fleeing men and took their lives.

The other three tanks finally spotted the muzzle fire of the British anti-tank gun at a distance of two hundred meters, and the gunners did not let the driver stop and shoot again, but relied on the advantage of the rate of fire of the rapid-fire gun to directly cover the position of the gun with artillery fire in the movement, although the charge of the 20mm high-explosive grenade was not much, but several consecutive hits still knocked the anti-tank gun into a part state.

Without the anti-tank guns, the British no longer had effective anti-tank weapons, and the German tanks successfully rushed to the British positions.

But what the German tankers did not expect was that the British did not show the slightest fear in the face of the German tanks rushing to the position, but climbed onto the tank turret like crazy under the strafing fire of the German tank coaxial machine guns, and frantically used a bayonet or crowbar to pry the hatch cover of the German tank.
