Chapter 832: Sherman Tank

The M5 anti-tank gun is too tall, especially the huge gun shield, which looks quite conspicuous, so now the German tank crews immediately changed their tactics after discovering that the anti-tank gun on the opposite side could tear through their main armor, and first determined that the opposite side had no ability to counterattack!

88-mm grenades, constantly pouring on the opposite side, one door of M5 anti-tank guns, covered with artillery fire!

The British soldiers were resolutely fighting back, but, at a distance of almost a kilometer, their aim was quite low, while the German tank guns, on the contrary, were able to easily greet their heads, and it was simply a one-sided battle!

One after another, anti-tank guns are constantly being destroyed, and the positions of the British army will be lost at any moment!

"Attack, attack!" After reconfirming that there could be no more concealed anti-tank guns on the opposite side, Karl shouted loudly over the radio that it was time for them to attack after holding it for so long!

With his order, one after another Panther 3 tanks, towards the opposite side, quickly drove over, for them, a distance of a thousand meters, is a matter of kicking the accelerator.

Behind the tank troops, there are a large number of infantry fighting vehicles to follow, and the soldiers on the vehicles are ready to get off the vehicles at any time to fight, and when they enter the enemy position, they must rely on the infantry to accompany the left and right to protect, this tactic, they have long been familiar with the road.

It's just that this time the progress did not go as they had hoped.

The tanks in front had almost reached the positions of the British troops, and the tracks could be crushed against the opponent's trenches, and at this moment, Karl Maus once again skillfully conducted a circumferential search.

The view inside the tanks is poor, especially now, when they rarely take care of their flanks while attacking forward, and only the most skilled tankers will be distracted from their surroundings.

And just as Karl was looking to the side, he keenly noticed something, there was black smoke and dust churning up on his right flank, and a tank force was attacking his flank!

"Attention, in the direction of three o'clock, the enemy's tank units are spotted!" Karl shouted loudly over the radio.

Three o'clock!

Hearing his warning, one by one the Panther 3 tanks, the turrets began to turn to the right, and before they could turn past, the enemy's tank units on the flanks had already opened fire!

Karl was surprised to find that the tank on the opposite side was actually firing on the move!

In a tank without a fire control computer and a two-way stabilization system, if you want to move and fire, you have to be an extremely experienced tanker to do it, and the accuracy of static to static is not good, let alone dynamic to dynamic!

However, the other side fired, and the other party either fired indiscriminately, or they had their own killer weapon!

Karl didn't give the order to fire, he never wasted shells, he just continued to look at each other, those tanks, they didn't look like any known British tank!

Moreover, after several battles, the tank units of the British, supposedly, have been consumed, where did these tanks come from? Is the number still so large?

"Boom!" At this moment, Karl heard a huge impact sound from the side of his tank turret, and his Panther 3 tank was hit from the side!

It is impossible for any tank to have the same protection in all directions, and the sides and rear of the Panther 3 are not thick.

If it was a Firefly with a British 17-pounder gun, or a monster with a 105-pounder gun, Carl would have been killed at this time, but now, his tank is still intact!

Damn, Carl was even angrier.

"Turn the turret, fire, and kill them!" Karl gave the order, however, he did not turn his troops, and now, the enemy's position is in front of him, and his task is to tear open the enemy's position!

As for this rushing tank force, naturally there are tanks behind their own side to destroy them!

One by one, the Panther 3 tanks, with their turrets turned ninety degrees, fired a salvo at the enemy who rushed to the side.

Everyone has questions, where did this tank force of the British come from?

Of course it was sent by the United States!

Since all the anti-tank guns sent by the United States have arrived, then the tanks donated by the United States to Britain must also arrive at the same time.

Moreover, compared with the batch of M3 tanks shipped to the UK, this batch of tanks is a more advanced model, the M4 tank that the United States has just completed developing!

War is definitely a catalyst for science and technology, on the one hand, the United States has launched research on anti-tank guns, and on the other hand, it is also stepping up the development of advanced tanks comparable to the Panther 3 tank!

This is the Sherman tank, codenamed M4, also known as the Firefly.

The development of this tank was very fast, in fact, it can also be said that it was originally an improved version of the M3 tank.

The M3 tank is a tank model developed by the Americans in an orderly manner, and as a result, after the finalization, it was suddenly found that it had long been outdated, and in the case that the Germans had already used 75 mm guns and 88 mm guns, the M3 tank actually used 37 mm guns!

Firepower, maneuverability, protection, nothing can be compared, so the Americans could only hurry up and install a protrusion resembling a lump in the right front of the hull, where a 75-mm gun was installed.

This nondescript thing, of course, was only the product of a temporary emergency, after which the Americans re-introduced a new turret, which was larger and could fit a 75-mm gun into it, and at the same time, lowered the height of the hull.

Even if it is lowered, this tank is still nearly three meters tall, which is definitely the tallest tank of this era!

However, I didn't care too much, and after I finished tinkering, I relied on the production line to efficiently produce a batch of more than 300 vehicles, which were loaded onto the ship and transported to Egypt together.

The battle situation here is already very dangerous, and if you delay it for a day, there will be more dangers!

If there is something more advanced than the German tank, I am afraid that it is equipped with an artillery vertical stabilizer, although it can only be stabilized in one direction, it is also quite good, so that the tank has the ability to fire on the move!

The British tank crews were also not ambiguous, and they barely ran in with the tanks for a day or two before going into battle. Although it is easy to learn, tanks require absolute training.

So, just now, hundreds of their tanks rushed over in a swarm, firing on the way, and only hit the opposite one!

The newly formed Royal 6th Panzer Regiment, the commander of the regiment, Alexander, as an old tanker, knew at this time that there was no choice but to move forward!

"Fire, fire!" He is constantly giving orders to fight, shoot as many shells as you can before you get hit!
