As soon as the British tanks fired, the powerful firepower overwhelmed the Germans, tank guns, course machine guns, coaxial machine guns, ...... Suddenly, the German line was littered with bullets and shells.

"Sherman" was really extraordinary as soon as he made a move.

It was precisely because the British army in history got 400 "Shermans" that they switched to the counteroffensive at El Alamein, destroying 200 German tanks in just one battle.

Prior to this, the battle loss ratio between German tanks and British tanks had always been 1:4, that is, the British army had to pay the price of four tanks for every German tank destroyed, even if it was equipped with American "Stuart" and "General Grant" tanks.

From then on, Rommel's Afrika Army was in a state of suffrage until it was completely driven out of Africa.

At this time, if the bazookas could not deal with the "Sherman" tanks, this scene would also be played out on the Alexander Line, and it could be even worse, because at this time the Afrika Korps only had a hundred tanks in its hands, and a 90th Light Division was even in Crete.

But Qin Chuan knew that he would soon know the result.

The German soldiers were still waiting, they were waiting for the British infantry to follow, so that they could be given a "hard lesson", or let them "taste the evil", or "avenge the comrades of the 15th Panzer Division......

Whatever the reason, the German soldiers just wanted to inflict maximum damage on the British.

Sure enough, in a short time a large number of British infantry rushed down from the hill...... WITH DOZENS OF TANKS IN FRONT OF THEM SUPPRESSING THE GERMANS, THEY RUSHED WITH EASE, AND ONLY A FEW FELL UNDER THE SHELLS OF GERMAN 50MM MATARS.

"Kill them all!" Colonel John shouted excitedly, he thought that the battle was now decided, and he waited for the British soldiers to mine forward, and then the tanks slowly pushed forward, and the battle should be over.

If this is indeed the case according to the previous battlefield thinking, the most feared thing about the tank on the battlefield is to separate from the infantry, although it has strong firepower and defense, but the external perception ability is very weak, plus there is a high probability that there will be anti-tank mines on the road ahead, I don't know when the enemy infantry will approach from the dead angle and blow up.

But as it is now, the British tanks and infantry are well combined again, and the British still occupy the favorable terrain on the hill and cooperate with the tanks to completely suppress the German army, then victory is in sight.

But at this moment, in the individual bunkers behind the defensive line, well-camouflaged German soldiers appeared, holding a strange thing that the British soldiers did not know and aimed at the British tank......

These strange things were, of course, "bazookas", and the German bazooka shooters were waiting for this moment, and in principle, the German line of defense in front was nothing more than to attract the fire of the British and their tanks.

The Germans were so successful that all tanks and British cover units were slammed into the German lines, making the German bazooka shooters safe for a short period of time...... In fact, this time is not short, because the tank's perception is very low, and a cloud of smoke explodes in front of the defense line, and the tank basically does not find the rocket launcher behind the defense line, and of course it cannot transfer fire in time.

Then, with a "chirping" scream, the first batch of more than 50 rockets flew towards the British tanks with a long tail......

After a chaotic "boom", at least twenty tanks were destroyed on the spot.

The reason for saying "at least" is that some tanks have a hard time knowing if they have been destroyed, and as mentioned earlier, not all destroyed tanks will smoke, fire, or explode.

In fact, only three of these tanks were blown apart by the ammunition that detonated them, but that was enough to scare the British...... At this time, the British tank crews did not even know what was happening, and many tank crews were still excitedly bombarding the German trenches with machine guns and tank guns.

The tank crews roared back as they fought, "Go to hell, Germans, and let you know what happened to you!" ”

However, in the next second, another batch of rockets with long smoke went straight for the tanks, and after an explosion, most of the tanks fell silent.

"Colonel!" The communications corps shouted at Colonel John on the other side of the hill: "Our tank has been blown up!" ”

"How many?" Colonel John asked nonchalantly.

He also thought that only one or two tanks had been blown up by German anti-tank mines or anti-tank grenades, and that these losses were nothing to the British.

"I don't know!" The signal soldier replied: "All I know is that if they don't retreat, they won't come back!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Colonel John raised his head and looked at the communications soldier: "What did you say?" ”

"Colonel!" The signal man replied: "The Germans have new anti-tank weapons, and they can easily destroy our tanks from a distance of more than 100 meters!" ”

Colonel John's head slowed down by half a beat, and then he replied, "No, it's not true!" Their anti-tank weapons have a range of only thirty meters! ”

"It's true!" The signal man replied: "Because our tanks are almost completely wiped out!" ”

"Colonel!" The staff officer hurriedly said: "Order a retreat!" ”

Colonel John shook his head and replied, "No, they can't be withdrawn!" ”

Colonel John was right, if these "Sherman" tanks were attacking on flat ground, it would be fine, the "Sherman" tanks were different from other tanks...... Most tanks in World War II did not have reverse gears, but the Sherman did, and it could always turn its thickest frontal armor against the enemy.

This is useful on the battlefield, especially in Montgomery's strategy of "fighting from afar, not in close combat...... Because if the enemy tanks were approaching the British tank group, the "Sherman" could shoot while retreating, so that it could maintain a certain distance from the enemy and keep itself out of the enemy's range.

But at this time, the British army was attacking the German army across the hills, and it was not easy to retreat.

"Give up the tank!" Colonel John ordered: "Order the tank crew to abandon the tank and withdraw with the infantry!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!"

The order was quickly delivered, and the British retreated like a tidal wave.

But at this time, the German army did not want to let them go so easily, and the bullets and shells poured down the hill in pieces, knocking down the British troops on the retreat road in groups, and soon the hill was full of British corpses, and the foot of the mountain was full of tank wreckage.

Several of the surviving tanks flanked, apparently trying to find a place to escape, but soon several rockets were fired and they were paralyzed.
