Chapter 505: Defeat the British

The concentrated use of tanks as the main force of mobile warfare, completely abandoning the positional warfare of the First World War, this is the tactics of the armored forces proposed by Guderian, and it is also the fighting style of the armored forces that they have been studying for more than ten years in Libya.

All kinds of advanced tactics were put forward at that time and then rehearsed, for example, the current set of tactics is one of them.

For a tank, the frontal armor is always the thickest, the side armor is second, and the tail armor is the weakest, so when the tank is fighting, always keep its thickest main armor facing the opponent, that is the most reliable and safe solution.

Then, in the duel between the two armies, there are many situations, such as now, the German armored forces have fewer tanks, and the opponent has more tanks, at this time, if the two sides hedge, soon, they will fall into a melee, and the other side will rely on the advantage of numbers, using crowd tactics to surround the German tanks, no matter how brave they are, there will be times when they miss.

Therefore, it is very important to prolong the contact time between the two sides, and before contact, take advantage of one's own long-range accurate shooting, destroy the other side outside of the opponent's firepower, and constantly weaken the opponent's strength.

Now, their own retreat, the other side attack, although the distance between the two sides is still close, after all, the speed of advance is faster than the speed of reversing, but the time of contact between the two sides is still extended.

During this time, it was the time for the German armored troops to brush up their achievements, and they relied on accurate shooting to constantly knock out the opponent's tanks.

Outwardly, it seems that the British are attacking and the Germans are retreating, but, in reality, it is the British chariots, one by one, which are on fire.

If it goes on like this, it won't work!

When George figured out this truth, although they were helpless, they could only give the slogan of stopping forward.

Waving a small flag, half exposed, he gave orders to the other tanks, which was his only command due to the lack of radio.

It's a pity that on the battlefield, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, there are constantly tanks on fire, there are fires and black smoke everywhere, and the commander of each tank is very nervous, looking at the German tanks opposite, few people notice their brigade commander.

In particular, those tanks in front of them have already begun to panic.

The Germans, right in front of them, seemed to be able to rush forward at once, but the tanks that rushed in front were destroyed one by one.

The accuracy of the shooting of the Germans, really high! In contrast, they have only been established for a short time tank brigade, and few commanders have such a certainty, even if they are shooting fixed targets.

When watching the tanks around you being destroyed, it is impossible to say that you are not afraid.

So, they also slowed down one after another, looking at the tank next to them faster than themselves, and then watching the tank that rushed up first and being destroyed, just like that, their timidity became more and more.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was actually three hundred meters, and the tank that rushed to the front actually forgot to fire!

The enemy's momentum has been discouraged!

On this side, Meyer saw that the other party's charge was no longer as swift as it was just now, and knew that they were already afraid, at this time, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and he couldn't see clearly that the tanks behind him were actually retreating, but out of his sense of smell of the battlefield, he gave a new order: "Stop retreating, attack in full, pay attention, keep in formation!" ”

Offensive!

Hearing his order, the tankman was extremely excited, stepped on the brakes, put forward gear, and then, rushed up!

The diesel engine at the tail of the Panther 3 tank, puffs of black smoke came out, and they began to accelerate!

The Stalker tank destroyers, closely behind, and although their engines are only 220 horsepower, their hulls are also light and fast.

Like a cheetah, the German tank forces began to attack!

"Boom!" The pursuer's 75-mm tank gun opened fire with great speed, and the armor-piercing shells smashed accurately on the British tank on the opposite side, bringing a deadly detonation.

The Panther 3 tank began to use a long-barreled 75 mm tank gun, which is 70 times the diameter, this long-barreled tank gun has a very high shooting accuracy, and the trajectory is very straight.

Unfortunately, its manufacturing is complex, and the long diameter brings processing problems.

The 75-mm tank gun of the Stalker, which is only 48 times the diameter, is much shorter, and this short-barreled 75-mm gun is easy to produce, and at the same time, its power is enough.

The small Stalker tank destroyer was originally not taken seriously, but this battle will greatly rewrite the views of some tank generals.

Its low profile means that it has a small bomb area and is not easy to be targeted by the opponent, and at the same time, its firepower, maneuverability, and protection are good, and it is an all-rounder on the battlefield.

"3 Tight Positions to the Left, Fire!" Inside a stalker, the captain shouted.

The stalker does not have a turret, this kind of self-propelled gun without a turret, many times, can only move up and down, can not move left and right, want to aim at the target, need the precise rotation of the hull, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of aiming.

And now this kind of stalker, the tank gun can move left and right, just because the main gun was creatively installed on the right side of the front of the hull by the designer, the angle of turning to the right is 11 degrees, and the left side is only a pitiful 5 degrees, and under normal circumstances, if the main gun is arranged in accordance with the conventional center, the angle of rotation to the left and right should be 15 degrees.

There is no way to do this, because after all, this is a light chassis, and if you want to drive a 75-mm tank gun, the internal space is quite cramped, and it can only be arranged to the right, otherwise, there will be no place for the driver on the left.

With the order of the commander, the 75-mm cannon banged loudly, and a blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile flew out.

The body of the car was filled with gunsmoke, and the loader on one side laboriously turned his body to reload the new armor-piercing bullet.

"Boom!" With a loud thud, the target stopped, billowing black smoke coming out.

"Hit!" The commander shouted, "Keep going!" ”

This is already the fourth British tank he has destroyed, firing a total of ten armor-piercing shells, and the commander is extremely excited, and when the battle is over, he will paint the side of his hull with four destruction icons!

Eventually, the sides of his car had to be painted all over, and it was exciting to think about it.

At this moment, the radioman shouted: "Commander, company commander order, charge at full speed and crush the British!" ”

Charging at full speed, it can now be seen that the British armored forces have begun to retreat!
