Chapter 833: Ronson Lighter

Tankman Rochde, sitting in his own gun position, at this time, his body, with the tank is jolting.

"Fire!" Following the commander's order, he quickly stepped on the blaster, and the entire hull of the tank trembled, and inside the turret, there was a puff of gunsmoke.

"Boom!" The yellow-orange-orange shells were withdrawn, and the loader loaded the second shell into it.

Rockard again put his eyes on the sight, in which he could clearly see the opposing tank, but, until now, he had fired five shells, but not even a single enemy tank had hit!

As a veteran gunner, he was surprised that after the shell was loaded, he did not continue to fire, but shouted loudly: "Commander, please stop and fire!" ”

Stop, to be able to better aim and shoot, and now, hearing his request, the commander also nodded: "Stop!" ”

Stop! The car came to a clattering stop, and Rochd was finally able to calm down, calmly aiming, shooting while on the move, looking imposing, but it was useless at all!

Rochd re-aimed at the enemy, and now, the opponent is still advancing towards his position, but the opponent's turret has been turned.

At the moment when Rochd was about to fire, he saw the muzzle of the opponent's cannon, a burst of flames came out, and the opponent fired, moreover, it was shooting at himself!

Fire!

At this time, he did not hesitate and stepped on the trigger fiercely.

"Boom!" With a loud explosion, the tank body shook and shells flew out.

Then, he heard an even more terrible collision, and the opponent's shell hit his own tank!

88 mm shells, right in the front of the Sherman tank! It's just an ordinary steel-core armor-piercing bullet, and when this armor-piercing bullet hits the front hull, it immediately drills into it fiercely!

The Sherman tank is 30 tons, and because the tank is tall and needs a larger protection area, the armor of this tank is only more than 70 millimeters! This is still the thickest place!

Its base is just the M3 tank, which has more than 70 millimeters, which is already very rebellious, but unfortunately, this thickness, in the face of 88 mm armor-piercing shells, is simply vulnerable!

Like a layer of paper, the 88-mm shell drilled into the armor, beating the driver in front to pieces, and then continued inward, through the wide hull, all the way to the back.

The Sherman tank is quite reliable, historically, this tank usually requires only the most ordinary field maintenance, and the attendance rate is quite high, which is inseparable from its engine.

This tank is powered by a 400 hp Continental R-975 C1 nine-cylinder star-cooled engine.

As long as you hear these words, you should know that this is a real aero engine!

The needs of the two are different, the aero engine needs high horsepower, and the tank needs high torque, and only the United States can perfectly solve the heat dissipation problem and install this engine into the M4 tank, and the reliability is quite high.

Reliability is high enough, but unfortunately, as long as it is a gasoline engine, it inevitably has an inescapable drawback, its fuel, extremely easy to burn!

"Boom!" With the sound of explosions, the engine behind it, burst into flames! As long as a spark splashes, this engine can be ignited, and now, the sparks flying everywhere and the fuel spraying everywhere make this engine burn in an instant!

From the outside, the whole tank burned rapidly, this is not the kind of violent burning of ammunition, this is pure burning like a fire!

It's like fireworks in a festival, the entire tank is burning, and the tanker on the opposite side can't help but be stunned when he looks at this scene.

"It's just a Ronson lighter, one dozen, every hit!" The tanker couldn't help but sigh inside, what kind of tank is this, it's so funny, it's just here to send the results of the battle to his side!

It's a pity, it's time for your side to continue attacking the enemy's positions! The gunners had to twist the turret, ready to tear apart the enemy's position.

They were followed by the 67th Panzer Battalion, the battalion commander Boulter had already received the news on the radio, and he immediately ordered his troops to turn around and advance to their right flank to block the British Panzer Corps!

One by one, the Panther 3 tanks were speeding towards the other party at full speed, and at this time, he could clearly see that the opponent's tanks were also accelerating.

It seems that the performance of the opponent's tank is also good! At least, compared to mobility, it's almost the same as your own!

Moreover, they actually carried out a tactical allocation, half of the tanks, continue to move forward, intending to engage their own side head-on, while the other part, actually want to bypass and hit their own flanks!

It's a pity, it's too high! Such a tall goal, on your side, looks quite obvious.

"Fire!" At this time, the two sides were two kilometers apart, and at this distance, Boulter could not wait to give the order to open fire!

The body of the Panther 3 tank trembled, and the 88mm armor-piercing projectile pierced the air and flew to the opposite side, and after flying for almost three seconds, it accurately smashed on the incomparably tall hull on the opposite side!

The tanker of this tank would never have dreamed that his own tank would be sniped by the other party two kilometers away!

When a huge explosion sounded, the tank, like a torch, burst into flames!

Even the American Sherman tank was no match for the Germans! Before it was improved again, the Sherman tank was also the target of the beating!

The tank units of both sides galloped on the Egyptian field, and a tank battle began in this way.

For the German tank crews, this was unwanted, since the beginning of the war, they had not fought a real tank battle, and now, just in time, it was an opportunity!

At the same time, for the British, this is also a must, they must be in the northern defense line, show real skills, attract the attention of the Germans, in order to achieve their strategic intentions, this battle, they not only must not lose, but also must win beautifully!

Rear, the command of the British troops.

Montgomery kept his face tense and listened to the battle reports from the front.

"Our tank forces are attacking the Germans, but the tanks from the United States are still unable to defeat the Germans in terms of performance, and our casualties are very large, but the soldiers are still persevering."

"They have to insist, right now, Germany has not sent all their armored forces, we have to attract them all to do so." Montgomery said.
