With a "boom", a tank of the "General Grant" type was destroyed.

This was clearly the work of German anti-tank artillery...... In order to increase the depth of penetration as much as possible, PAK38 uses pure armor-piercing shells, although it cannot effectively kill tank crews and is not as enjoyable as high-explosive shells or high-explosive armor-piercing shells, but it can ensure penetration and damage to the tank.

The battlefield is not a show, and the goal of both sides is to weaken the opponent's combat power as quickly as possible, not for the sake of visual effects.

And in fact it makes no difference, because after the tank is destroyed, the tank crew can only get out of the tank to survive, and then ...... There is no then.

With a "boom", another "General Grant" tank was destroyed.

The British tank reacted quickly, sensing a threat from the flank at the first moment, and turned in the shortest possible time.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY CORRECT, THE "GENERAL GRANT" FRONTAL ARMOR IS 51MM THICK, AND WITH A DIP, IT CAN BARELY WITHSTAND THE ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS OF ANTI-TANK GUNS FOR ABOUT A KILOMETER.

But this did not bring it good luck, because at this time the 88 anti-aircraft guns fired.

THE 88 ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN COULD PENETRATE THE FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE "MATILDA" AT A DISTANCE OF A KILOMETER, AND THE 51MM ARMOR OF THE "GENERAL GRANT" TANK WAS CERTAINLY NOT A PROBLEM.

Perhaps because the shells didn't hit the key parts, the "General Grant" tank didn't look damaged on the surface, just emitting some black smoke...... It is also not known whether it is the smoke of shells or the smoke of tank parts.

Because of the obscuration of the black smoke, Qin Chuan couldn't even see the bullet holes in the tank's armor, but he knew that the crew in the tank was all gone.

On the one hand, this is because no one crawls out of it, and on the other hand, the 88 anti-aircraft gun has a high muzzle velocity of 820 meters per second, and a high muzzle velocity means that the kinetic energy of the projectile is large, and a large kinetic energy means that the energy transferred to the target after hitting the target is also large...... This is also one of the reasons why tank guns were basically changed from rifled guns to smoothbore guns after World War II.

It's like a car running at high speed and suddenly crashing into a wall, and most of the crew members in the tank are killed or stunned, but it doesn't really make much difference, because the German soldiers will stuff a few grenades into it when they go up, even if it's just the wreckage of the tank.

"Boom!" Another British tank was killed.

The tank was not so lucky, it was hit in the side by a high-explosive armor-piercing projectile...... Because of the high penetration depth of the 88 anti-aircraft guns, this armor-piercing projectile with slightly less penetrating power was often used.

The effect of this armor-piercing projectile is completely different, and after a bang, the ammunition in the tank explodes into a fireball...... The explosion was so violent that the entire tank was blown up several meters high and then fell back to the ground and fell to the side.

"Follow the tank!" Qin Chuan shouted at the soldiers: "Use the tank as cover!" ”

Not long ago, this was Kuhn's job, and now it is Qin Chuan's responsibility.

Kuhn said to Qin Chuan when he handed over to Qin Chuan: "I think you know what to do, just like I usually do!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Don't think that a soldier knows what to do and doesn't give orders!" Kuhn said, "Your orders are sometimes more than just orders, you see? ”

Qin Chuan nodded in understanding.

Just like now, the German soldiers actually knew to follow the tank and use the tank as cover, and Qin Chuan's order seemed to be superfluous.

But orders are sometimes more than just orders, especially for rank and file officers, whose shouts are a tranquilizer to dispel the fears of soldiers.

500 meters.

British soldiers tried to organize a defensive line with anti-tank guns to block the attack of German tanks...... Because everyone knows that if the German tanks break into the formation and kill them indiscriminately in this situation, it will deal a devastating blow to the 1st Panzer Division.

But such an attempt by the British was clearly in vain.

The first is covered by a field of long-range shells...... This is the masterpiece of the German artillery observer, although the German artillery is not many and there is a shortage of shells, but there are still dozens of shells fired to cover the tank troops. At the same time, it was precisely because of the shortage of shells that the Germans hoped to make good use of every shell, so some shells were very accurately blasted into the British camp, blasting a gate into the sky before the anti-tank guns were erected.

Then there were the machine guns on the tanks.

The German tanks did not fire again except for one shell just after coming out of the bunker...... This was to be able to break into the British camp faster, and if you want to open fire, you must use a short stop to shoot, which will undoubtedly give the British more time to prepare or escape.

However, the machine gun could fire while the tank was moving, so the bullets "boomed" in the direction of the British troops, and the heat of the bullets brought up steam in the temperature of about zero degrees Celsius and then pointed directly at the exposed British infantry.

Rows of British soldiers screamed and fell, blood and broken arms flew in the desert, and the dense bullets pressed the British soldiers only to lie on the ground and did not dare to move, and it was nonsense to organize an effective defense.

300 meters.

At this time, the German soldiers who followed the tanks also played a role, they leaned out from behind the tanks and fired at the British, and the machine gunners consciously occupied hills, stones, and even the remains of the tank that had been pierced by armor-piercing shells as machine gun positions to suppress the British.

SOON, 50MM MORTARS WERE ALSO ERECTED AND SMASHED AT THE BRITISH TROOPS...... This is the most lethal, because the 50MM mortar is heavily equipped in the German army, each platoon has one and each gun carries 50 rounds, plus the high rate of fire of this mortar, so it can explode an impermeable barrage on the enemy's position in a short time.

Like now...... JUST NOW, THE BRITISH ARMY WAS TRYING TO ORGANIZE A DEFENSIVE LINE WITH ANTI-TANK GUNS THERE, BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN BLOWN INTO RUINS BY 50MM MORTAR SHELLS.

100 meters.

When Qin Chuan leaned out and pulled the trigger, he found that the British army had already begun to flee.

The British army abandoned their tanks and equipment and fled...... The tank did not have time to turn around, and even if it did, it would expose the weak rear armor to the enemy, and the tall body of the "General Grant" would undoubtedly be a good target for the enemy, which made the British tank crews get out of the tank and escape.

But even this was to no avail, because the German tanks were in hot pursuit with groups of hungry wolf-like German soldiers, firing at the British as they chased back.

Therefore, the battle is often not won or lost by a simple comparison of troops or equipment, but more often it depends on whether there is sufficient preparation, and the prepared side is likely to defeat the enemy with a thunderous force in a short period of time and quickly collapse.
