Chapter 1488: Battlefield Veteran

The black smoke was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and when everyone saw the tank opposite, in an instant, their hearts sank.

Tiger tank, Tiger tank!

This is the most advanced German tank, and on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, it is almost invincible, and there is no weapon in the front to penetrate it, so you can only find a way to do it from the side or from behind.

This kind of anti-tank gun of your own side cannot pose any threat to it.

Who would have thought that the landing force of the Germans, coming up would be the Tiger tanks? It's simply impossible!

A company of Tiger tanks is enough to crush the entire infantry division, and the momentum of the time when it comes over alone will bring people tremendous pressure.

When he saw the Tiger tank, even Colonel Hunt was stunned, he had enough courage, but he couldn't let his troops fall into a desperate battle, after all, the gap between the enemy and us was too great.

From this point of view, he should have retreated, or retreated to the mountains on the left, preserving himself first.

But in that case, Reykjavik in the rear would be in danger, the only place that could stop the Germans from advancing, and once the Germans were allowed to rush to Reykjavík, Iceland would change hands, and Iceland's position in the American strategy was self-evident.

If the United States masters Iceland, it can use Iceland as a springboard to land in Europe, and if Germany masters Iceland, it can also use Iceland as a springboard to land in the United States, and the United States will face the danger of invasion on its own soil!

Can't be returned, absolutely can't be returned!

"Prepare an anti-tank grenade, blow up its tracks!" Colonel Hunt shouted loudly: "Its tracks are the most vulnerable, we must defeat the tanks of the Germans!" ”

At this moment, the other party was getting closer and closer, and the rear of the other party could be clearly seen.

The number of Tiger tanks is not much, followed by the Panther tank, followed by the infantry fighting vehicle, when he saw this, Colonel Hunt made a battle plan in his heart.

After a short period of resistance, let go of these Tiger tanks and hit them behind!

"Boom!" At this moment, the tank on the opposite side had already opened fire, and the other side was actually shooting on the move! The high quality of the German tankmen shocked everyone.

Without the help of any electronic equipment, firing on the march was similar to shooting mosquitoes with a rifle, but the flying shells actually hit the truck that was blocking the road, and in an instant, the truck burst into flames.

The ground was shaking, the tanks were roaring, and the new recruits were all in fear.

The first time I went to the battlefield, this emotion is normal.

Baslon is a veteran.

He was not afraid when the German tanks came at high speed, he took aim motionless, waiting for an opportunity.

The United States began to pay little attention to tanks, look at the American tanks in the early stage of World War II and there is nothing famous, Sherman is not famous for performance, but for production, by assembly lines.

This anti-tank gun, also not American, but developed by the British.

As early as October 1934, the British proposed relevant technical specifications and parameters for the development of a new anti-tank gun. Its full weight will not exceed 16 kg and will have the ability to penetrate 200 mm thick steel plates at a distance of 25 meters.

The anti-tank gun was designed by Captain Beuys, who died after the gun was built, so the weapon was named after him and officially adopted at the end of 1937.

At the same time, it can use Mark1 steel core armor-piercing bullet or Mark2 tungsten core armor-piercing bullet, and the performance has met the design requirements.

When it first appeared, there were no problems against the tanks of that time, but the Tiger tank, with a frontal armor thickness of more than a hundred mm, hit it on it, almost like tickling.

It's impossible to wreck, but it's still a threat!

Its front scope, the driver's viewing hole, and so on, are all weak, and if you hit it, you can also stop the opponent's advance!

The tank continued to rumble up, closer and closer, closer and closer, and almost a hundred meters to the point where Baslon pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

The gun was expanded to a caliber of 13.97 mm, and when fired, it was more like the sound of a cannon, and as the bullets flew out, a huge recoil hit Baslone's shoulder.

Although some of the recoil was offset by a muzzle brake, the rest of the recoil was still quite large, and in this case, Basilon's entire body seemed to tremble violently, and the internal organs in the entire abdominal cavity were shaken.

Basilon didn't care, as soon as he finished shooting, he quickly moved to the side with his gun in his arms.

When I first shot, there was too much movement, and the target must have been exposed.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Tiger tank had stopped, and the muzzle of the gun turned towards the place where he had just shot, and then, a puff of black smoke came out of the muzzle, and an 88 mm grenade knocked the position of Baslon into ruins.

If Baslon had been a second slower, he would have been blown up into the sky, and after the explosion, he picked up his gun again.

The German tanks did not pick up.

The driver was killed.

The bullet actually came in through the observation hole, shattered the narrow bulletproof glass in front of it, and hit the driver's head, and the driver's head immediately exploded, and white brains and red blood flowed everywhere.

"Damn it!" In the turret at the back, Haldegen cursed, and then shouted: "Radioman, inform the entire unit, turn into battle formation!" ”

Just now they rushed all the way, along the road next to the coastline, in a long line of snakes, this is the fastest way.

When the American army was discovered, Haldegen did not care, according to his assumption, after seeing his own tanks, the Americans should retreat.

The opponent will break up, and you will be able to chase after you all the way to Reykjavík.

Who knows, they actually set up defensive positions, and they also killed their own drivers.

However, this also shows that the other side does not have effective and reliable anti-tank weapons, and it will face anti-tank guns, anti-tank grenades, and anti-tank cocktails.

To deal with this weapon, it is necessary to turn into a battle formation and rush forward under the protection of the infantry.

At the same time, he could only stop and wait for the battle to end, because his driver was gone, and the tank was no longer moving.

"See? Our anti-tank guns will be able to effectively stop the tanks of the Germans! Colonel Hunt shouted loudly to his men to encourage confidence, and as soon as he had finished shouting, he saw the Germans begin to change formation.

Worst!
