"Boom!" With a loud bang, the "Sherman" tank fired a shell.

The shell hit the German machine-gun position...... The German machine gun is always the primary target of American tanks, because the German MG42 machine gun has a terrifying rate of fire, with a theoretical rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute, that is, 20 rounds per second, which makes it the fastest machine gun in World War II, with extremely high reliability and suppression ability.

The Allied soldiers referred to it as the "Hitler chainsaw", and according to them, any charge by the infantry without cover was pointless as long as there was an MG42 machine gun in front of them.

Now the situation is different.

After an explosion, the German machine gun position was blown into a crater, and several German machine gunners fell next to the crater in different positions, and there was a machine gun that had been blown into parts and bullets scattered everywhere nearby.

The U.S. tanks "rumbled" up, and the tank crews always thought that the area was safe in this situation.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the tank track rolled into the machine gun position, I only heard a "boom" explosion, and the anti-tank mine exploded from top to bottom and blew the tank into a ball of flames...... The Germans actually buried anti-tank mines under their feet.

They seemed to know that machine-gun positions would be the focus of enemy tank attacks.

While there is nothing wrong with this, anti-tank mines do not have enough weight and will not detonate, but it is not very comfortable to fight back against the enemy on a mine.

The American soldiers thought they wouldn't do that, and the Germans did.

"Da Da", a "Sherman" tank suppressed enemy fire with a course machine gun and covered the advance of the infantry.

Anyone who is an experienced tank crew knows that a machine gun is more useful than a tank gun in a close-range front situation.

This was mainly due to the fact that tank guns were slow to react and could not respond in time to enemy infantry charges against tanks.

The machine gun does not have this problem, it can flexibly and continuously put pressure on the enemy.

As it is now, several German soldiers were knocked to the ground by machine-gun bullets as soon as they poked out of the trenches.

However, just as the Heavy turned his attention elsewhere, a corpse on the ground leapt to its feet and lunged at the tank, then threw an anti-tank grenade before the American soldier behind the tank raised his gun to knock him down...... Although the German soldier fell in a pool of blood, the anti-tank grenade opened the small umbrella at the tail in the air and slowly rowed straight towards the tank.

The American soldier exclaimed:

"Be careful!"

"Grenades!"

……

They all saw it, but they were powerless to stop the grenade from hitting the tank's side armor and then paralyzing the tank in place.

A "Sherman" tank had just crossed the river, and the tent around the car was still dripping with water.

But it couldn't wait to take the place of another destroyed tank and consciously took on the cover task...... This is the fate of tanks, even if they will be the first target of the enemy and destroyed one after another, they will still have to wait to be the first to rush.

"Watch out for the corpses on the ground!" The U.S. soldier who followed the tank warned him from the phone behind the tank: "Some of them are fake, they will throw anti-tank grenades at the tank......"

This clearly misled the tank crew, causing them to focus on the dead body on the ground and to machine gun a few additional shots at the suspect.

At that moment, a rocket came straight at the tank with a whistling sound.

"Beware ......" the U.S. infantry behind the tank shouted a warning on the phone.

However, the tank crew didn't know what to be careful about, and then with a "boom", several hot metal jets shot into the tank cabin, and the temperature in the cabin instantly rose sharply, and the narrow and oppressive space was filled with the screams and scorching smell of the tank crew, and worse, a little fire came out of the smoke, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger......

In the aperture of the telescopes of Qin Chuan and others, what they saw was a group of tanks and amphibious landing ships piled forward, and there were also US fighters and bombers in the air constantly rushing down to dump bombs and bullets on the German positions, but the German soldiers miraculously blocked the US army's charge again and again, and the tank wreckage became more and more, and finally the tanks that were piled up to the US army followed up had to make a detour.

"They're good!" Colonel Slein said: "That's what we need. If they have time to get more refinement, they will become a very good army! ”

Colonel Slein's words meant ...... Many of them simply do not have the opportunity to receive "more refinement".

It may be a pity, but the war is sometimes ironic: they are good because they dare to make such sacrifices, otherwise they would not have received praise from Colonel Slain.

General Patton was obviously unwilling to give up this last chance to attack, so despite the heavy losses of the 17th Panzer Regiment and Colonel Nathan's repeated requests to postpone the attack, Patton gritted his teeth and ordered Colonel Nathan to command the troops to rush forward in waves.

In the end, however, Barton was unable to capture the island of Chambir...... The U.S. forces even captured the first two lines of defense on the island of Chambier, leaving only the last line of defense to drive the Germans on the island down the river.

However, the sun slowly set in the west, and soon the whole world was plunged into darkness.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" The baker's hoarse voice came from the other end of the line: "We'll be on guard until dark!" ”

"Very well, Lieutenant!" Qin Chuan replied: "You guys fought very well. But...... Just because you stay until dark doesn't mean you're successful, you know? ”

"Understood!" The baker replied, "What do we do?" ”

"Don't do anything!" Qin Chuan said: "Hold your position, don't let anyone pass, except for the prisoners!" ”

"Captive?" The baker didn't understand what Qin Chuan meant.

But it didn't take long for the baker to understand, because in the following battles, many American troops even voluntarily surrendered to the Germans.

Actually, Colonel Nathan and Colonel Torres also felt this.

The reason is none other than what Colonel Torres said earlier...... If the small amount of ammunition they have accumulated is used on the offensive, then they will not have enough ammunition for defense.

The battlefield fell silent the moment it got dark.

Fighters and bombers in the sky disappeared without a trace, because they could not find their targets.

The sound of the artillery also subsided, and the tanks were busy building bunkers to hide themselves as much as possible.

"What should we do?" Colonel Nathan asked Torres.

Torres replied: "We can only pray that the Germans do not know that we are running low on ammunition!" ”
