Chapter 713: Sneak Attack from Behind (Plus 1)

When the explosion came from behind, the crew members in the Panther 3 tank were stunned, what happened?

Then, a puff of black smoke came in from behind, and needless to say, you can also know that it was a sneak attack from behind!

Without any reason, the commander pushed open the turret cover at the top and took out a fire extinguisher, and at this time, smoke and dust were already billowing behind him.

In later generations, tanks have a perfect fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system, if there is a spark, the fire extinguishing system will work immediately, but now, it is far from being able to meet this requirement, and it can only be a backup fire extinguisher.

The only good thing is that the current tanks use diesel, which is not easy to burn, and if it is gasoline, it will be troublesome.

After all, even if there is armor in the back of the tank, there must be a shutter for heat dissipation, otherwise, if the engine is sealed inside, it will definitely overheat, and the current Panther 3 has been specially improved for the desert, and the area of the heat dissipation window is larger, and if it is an incendiary bottle thrown over, it is easy to ignite the rear.

There is no time to wait, he must move quickly!

After pushing it away, the fire extinguisher in his hand sprayed out white foam, covering the back, it didn't look like a Molotov cocktail, this flame was extinguished in less than two seconds.

"Da-da-da-da." Almost at the same time, in the back, suddenly the sound of machine guns sounded!

Longhurst was back next to his machine gun, and he quickly picked up his machine gun and opened fire on the tank!

Fire! Dense bullets fired at the tank commander, and in an instant, there were a few more holes in his body, and he fell weakly on the turret, and he didn't close his eyes until he died, but looked at this side.

The fire extinguisher, which was thrown aside.

Not only Longhurst alone, just now, more than a dozen brave soldiers threw their sticky bombs at the German tanks, and successfully hit three tanks, but they were all slightly injured, and none of the tanks were destroyed, even if they couldn't walk!

And their actions provoked the anger of the German soldiers.

Behind them, a small unit appeared, and this small detachment was actually firing at them with small arms, and even caused the death of one of their commanders!

It was too late to make a U-turn, and just after discovering the presence of an enemy behind him, Karl Mauss shouted loudly over the radio: "Reverse, press back, turret turn!" ”

The hydraulically driven turret turned rapidly, pointing to the back, and at the same time, the tanker stopped advancing and put up reverse gear.

Inside the tank, a famous tank soldier, full of righteous indignation, dared to carry out a sneak attack behind his back!

"Boom!" The tank, which just died the commander, has already fired! Just after discovering that the commander was dead, the gunner operated the turret to steer, and the loader quickly loaded a grenade, trained well, and in just five seconds, they fired!

At the same time as the tanks on this side opened fire, Longhurst carried his machine gun and quickly moved towards the bunker next to him.

You know, this is not a bipod light machine gun, this is a tripod heavy machine gun! With a weight of 42 kg, it is difficult for the average person to move quickly!

Almost as soon as he hid in the bunker next to him, a violent explosion echoed around him, and a large crater had already appeared on the machine gun position just now, and the Germans reacted really fast!

Longhurst shouted loudly: "Platoon commander, retreat with people, I cover!" ”

If the sticky bomb could blow up even a tank just now, they would not give up the attack, but now, they no longer have any weapons in their hands, and they have not even destroyed the other party with a sneak attack, so a normal confrontation is even more impossible!

We have to retreat, but someone has to stay!

Longhurst's meaning was obvious, he used his machine gun to attract the attention of the Germans, so that the rest of the people could escape calmly!

However, the platoon commander, Pedro, did not intend to escape, can he escape?

The weeds here are less than half a meter high, sparsely scattered, stay in the natural bunker here, and still hold on, if you run out, then to the open field, it is definitely a live target for the tank.

Since he had already planned to fight, it was impossible to go back alive! Fighting a war like this is a real soldier!

"Draw the tank fire of the Germans over, we use grenades!" Pedro shouted.

Sticky bombs don't work, Molotov cocktails didn't have time to do it, after all, their combat target is the Italians, against the average Italian soldier, as long as the Vickers machine gun on this side goes off, the other side will fall down, or even surrender.

But now, it is the Germans who come, and they are not afraid, the Germans must be made to pay!

Pedro shouted as he put the grenades he was carrying together and tied them up, while Longhurst understood, continued to carry his machine gun, and retreated a few meters, as if he was retreating from the opposing tank.

"Da-da, da-da-da." While running back, Longhurst turned around and opened fire with his machine gun, attracting the attention of the German tanks, and sure enough, the German tanks were fooled!

They stopped using tank guns, because their tank guns were powerless because of the angle, and they could only use the tank's machine guns and shoot at Longhurst.

As he ran, Longhurst turned around and fired, and the tanks on this side were chasing backwards.

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion of the same magnitude was heard under the body of the car.

Hearing this voice, instantly, the driver knew that it was not good! He pulls the lever on one side and presses the throttle!

This requires excellent judgment and sharp operation!

The explosion took place on the right side! Then there was a rattling sound, indicating that the track on the right side had been blown off! And the driver pushes the lever on the left side to the head, so that the driving wheel on the right side stops turning, and on the left, it turns at full power!

From the outside, it is the hull of the tank that is turning unilaterally!

It was only after the Tiger that the German tank had the ability to turn center, using the function of the outstanding torque converter, and now, the Panther 3 tank can only be unilateral steering.

That's it, that's enough!

An Australian soldier, just now, crawled forward with a bundle of grenades.

His own machine gun had already attracted the opponent's firepower, so he managed to get to the side of the opponent's tank, and since the tank was advancing backwards, no one noticed him!

Put the grenade into the path of the opponent's track, pull the pull rope, and when the track runs over, it just explodes!

He was overjoyed in his heart, and when he blew up the tracks, the other party couldn't move! But then, his joy turned into a terrible one.

The other party's car body turned over!

He quickly crawled two steps, but it was still useless, and the tracks of the tank were just crushed over!

He uses both hands and feet, and the other party can only rotate unilaterally, and the range of action is limited!

Just as he was crawling forward quickly, he felt a sharp pain in one of his legs!

The intact track crushed his leg, and in an instant, half of his thigh turned into meat puree!
