In general, Colonel Smith was right...... Because there are only so many kinds of equipment that can deal with tanks, airplanes, tanks, and anti-tank guns.

Of course, in addition to this there are anti-tank grenades, explosives packs and the like.

But to blow up a tank with anti-tank grenades and explosives packs would have to pay a lot of casualties under British firepower, which the Germans did not have.

So Colonel Smith decided that the battle was a sure thing, and the Germans would soon raise their hands under the guns of the British tanks.

A volley of shells whistled in, and the few anti-tanks of the German paratroopers were immediately blown into the sky and disintegrated into parts.

The paratroopers are equipped with anti-tank guns, which are actually chicken ribs......

It is a long-range weapon for striking enemy tanks.

Equipment, it also has problems such as heavy weight, difficult to move, and seriously affects the logistics of paratroopers.

Even the Germans had to make a trade-off between PAK36 and PAK38.

If there is no doubt that PAK38 should be chosen in terms of firepower and penetration, but PAK38 weighs more than 800 kilograms, which is not something that a few soldiers can push around, and paratroopers have no cars to tow, so PAK38 must be disassembled and maneuvered, and then temporarily assembled and put into battle when it is to be used.

And on the battlefield, there was almost no such opportunity, just like now, several PAK38s of the German army were blown into the sky before they had time to play their role.

This boosted the morale of the British soldiers who were outflanked from both flanks...... The German anti-tank guns were blown up, which almost meant that the British with tanks were invincible, so they confidently followed the tanks and advanced towards the Germans step by step.

"Iron Fist!" Qin Chuan ordered loudly.

Werner answered, and rushed forward with a few German soldiers.

This is an anti-tank group formed by the Germans based on the experience of previous training...... Each anti-tank squad consisted of three people, one of whom was armed with an "iron fist" to fight the tank, and two members, each carrying an "iron fist" for the group leader's use, and at the same time holding a submachine gun and carrying five grenades to provide cover for the team leader.

Of course, the anti-tank team will not rush straight at the tank, which is almost no different from looking for death...... There is actually a safer way to get close to the tank, hide in the crater and wait for the tank to come up.

At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the fire cover of the anti-tank group, because the British army is likely to have discovered the anti-tank group hiding in the crater and suppressed them.

However, this was not a difficult task for the German army, and coordination was also the strength of the German army.

The 50MM mortar fired shells one after another, making the British troops hiding behind the tanks miserable, and the sniper rifle in Qin Chuan's hand also fired bullets so that the British did not dare to poke their heads out to shoot.

Of course, there was also a part of this that the British army did not think it was necessary to compete with the Germans for a while...... As long as the tanks were kept moving like this, it was only a matter of time before the German lines collapsed.

But things were not as simple as the British army thought, because at this time the German army was already equipped with an anti-tank weapon...... "Iron Fist".

With a "bang", Qin Chuan knocked a British soldier to the ground.

The British gunner, a 2-inch mortar gunner, was trying to fire a shell into the crater where Werner was hiding, but before he could fire a shell, the bullet from the Qinchuan rifle made it impossible for him to complete the mission.

Seeing that the distance was almost there, Qin Chuan ordered: "Send a signal!" ”

Keller, who was lying next to Qin Chuan, immediately blew the whistle that bit his mouth...... This is to tell Vilna that the enemy tank has come within 30 meters of his range.

ALMOST AT THE SAME TIME, MACHINE GUNS AND 50MM MORTARS WERE AGAIN FIRED AT THE BRITISH TANKS...... They, of course, could not pose a threat to the "Matilda" tanks, and these fires only provided fire cover for the anti-tank group.

Then, Werner took advantage of this moment to stand up sharply with the "Iron Fist", and pressed the launch of several seats with a little aim.

With a "puff", the "Iron Fist" accurately hit the front armor of the tank and emitted a cloud of green smoke...... The smoke was so insignificant compared to the smoke and dust around it that the German soldiers were a little unconvinced of how much damage it could do to the tank.

But the tank slowly stopped after advancing some distance, and then a plume of black smoke came out of the rear and soon caught fire again...... It was clear that the metal jet ignited something inside the tank after penetrating the tank's armor, which in turn ignited the tank engine.

The German soldiers could not help but let out a cheer, this was the first example of the German army destroying an enemy tank with an "iron fist", which proved that the "iron fist" was effective.

The British soldiers, on the other hand, were a little baffled, they did not see what destroyed the tank, and many even thought that it was the malfunction of the Matilda...... It was not uncommon for the engine to overheat and catch fire.

So the British continued to advance towards the Germans under the cover of tanks, completely ignoring the "warning" just now.

One thing is for sure, Matilda is a good target for Iron Fist, as it moves slowly, like a snail crawling slowly with a heavy shell on its back...... This gave "Iron Fist" more chances to wreck it.

Otherwise, if it is a "General Grant" type with a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour or even a "Stuart" tank with a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour...... Entering the 30-meter range of the "Iron Fist", it was already out of range before it had time to take a quick aim.

As a result, only a "boom" explosion was heard, and the "Matilda" tanks stopped one after another, and even one of them was detonated from the inside by a metal jet, only to hear a loud "boom", the entire tank turned into a ball of fireball, and the British infantry following it was also killed and wounded.

At this time, the British realized that the situation was not good, but they did not think that this would happen and did not know how to deal with it, so they hoped to break through quickly with the few remaining tanks......

But this attempt was quickly crushed by the "Iron Fist".

The German paratroopers were armed with 200 "Iron Fists", which were enough to stop the attack of dozens of "Matilda" tanks, while the total number of British tanks was only thirteen, and these tanks were divided into two parts.

"What's going on!" Colonel Smith angrily asked when he saw the British tanks stop, "Why didn't they advance?" ”

Colonel Smith didn't know that the tanks had been blown up, after all, many of the destroyed tanks didn't look unusual from the outside.

"Colonel!" At this time, the signal corpsman reported: "Major John reports that all our tanks have been destroyed!" ”

"What? That's impossible! Colonel Smith said, "What are they going to do to destroy our tanks?!" ”

However, reality is reality, and even if Colonel Smith did not believe it, none of the first British tanks to rush up survived.
