If such a result is obtained, then Colonel Hunt will definitely not stop here, he will first withdraw to the mountains, let the tanks in front of the opponent pass, and then hit the infantry behind.

Now, with just one shot, the Germans immediately changed formation.

The tanks in the back, coming up from both sides, spread out to form a not very wide offensive surface, which was not particularly open due to the restrictions of the terrain.

Then, the infantry fighting vehicle behind drove all the way to the back of the tank queue, and from the infantry fighting vehicle, a soldier in the uniform of the German Marine Corps jumped from it, holding a 6.8 mm assault rifle, closely following behind.

The Germans were so skillful in changing their tactical formations that Colonel Hunt's intended tactics were frustrated.

It is dangerous for infantry to fight tanks! With the help of the dead end of the tank, relying on the dauntless spirit, what anti-tank grenades can be thrown over.

If the opposing tanks are followed by the infantry, it will be different, the infantry will use their own dense bullets to stop the approach of the anti-tank men, their casualties will be even greater, once this formation of the Germans is formed, the defense line of their own infantry positions will soon be broken through!

Damn, how nice it would be if there were effective anti-tank weapons portable for infantry!

At this time, Colonel Hunt was almost desperate, and he could already see the result in advance.

……

Aberdeen Proving Ground, USA.

A large number of high-ranking officials gathered here, and Major General Eisenhower stood on the rostrum, watching through his binoculars as a tank was slowly moving.

Now Eisenhower, who is already an important staff officer of the US military command, appeared at the Aberdeen test site this time to watch a performance.

The fact that France was lightningly defeated by Germany shocked the United States. The US Army began to debate the structure of the US Armed Forces.

Like the United Kingdom, the role of tanks in the United States is not yet clear, and this debate has put an end to the idea that tanks are still in their infancy on the modern battlefield and prompted the United States to quickly build up armored forces.

The assertion that the best anti-tank weapon is a tank has been accepted, but it is impossible for all armies to be armoured, and what should a large number of infantry do when they encounter tanks?

On the question of how best to combat enemy tanks, artillery officers advocated the development of anti-tank artillery.

As a result, the U.S. Army began a quick response and hastily designed to equip itself with the M6 37 mm self-propelled gun (GMC) and the M3 75 mm caliber self-propelled gun.

Among them, the 37mm gun quickly fell behind, and it seems that the 75mm gun is already the only option, but this 75mm gun is an old artillery gun equipped by France during World War I, and there are very serious technical and tactical problems.

Both designs were also seen as short-term solutions, and earlier this year, the U.S. Army Ordnance Agency officially named the improved T35E1 as the M10 tank destroyer.

Now on the test site, it is a self-propelled anti-tank gun codenamed M10,

The M10 uses the chassis of the M4 Sherman tank, with a total combat weight of 30 tons, armor with a 47-degree bevel on the front of the body is 37 mm thick, 25 mm thick on the sides, and 57 mm thick on the frontal armor of the open turret. Armed with an M7 76mm L/53 cannon, it is capable of penetrating 100mm of armor from 1,000 miles away. The powertrain is two universal diesel engines with a total power of 375 hp and a top speed of 48 km/h on the road.

As you can see, it has good mobility, but its protection is very poor, and it can only be used to block tanks, not to attack, and it cannot really replace tanks.

At the same time, it is less expensive than tanks and can be equipped on a large scale.

Major General Eisenhower held his pipe and smoked it while watching the performance.

The target, the tank, was moving smoothly, not very fast, and at the same time, in the wheelhouse, a tanker quickly climbed out of it and jumped to the ground.

It is impossible to remotely control a tank in this era, and the tank as a target cannot be stationary, otherwise the test results will have no reference significance, and it is impossible for the tank on the battlefield to stop and wait for you to fight.

So, this way was adopted, and when the driver jumped, the tank was left unmanned.

At the same time, in the other direction of the shooting range, an M10 tank destroyer is slowly moving over, and the people inside are operating nervously, and there must be no mistakes!

They didn't know that there were several other people at this time, stealing their limelight.

"Quick, quick!"

The range was quite empty, and no one noticed that two captains had slipped over quietly.

U.S. Army Captain Leslie Skinnah, who had been in the range for eight years and was all too familiar with everything here, crawled through a gutter to avoid the sentry standing guard, and next to him was his assistant, Navy Captain Edward Earle.

The two of them were very dangerous in the shooting range, and the flying shell fragments could kill them, but at this time they could not care so much, in order to let their weapons be displayed in front of high-ranking officials, in order to avoid the obstruction of the bureaucratic class that still existed in the war, in order to bring suitable anti-tank weapons to the troops at the front, they were open!

Skinner quickly assembled the equipment he had brought, it was not large, it was a long cylinder that slung over his shoulder, and Earle, as his assistant, shoved a rocket-propelled grenade into the cylinder.

"Sights, where are our sights?" Skinner shouted.

Earl clapped his hands, no, I was in a hurry when I first came, and I didn't bring the simple mechanical sights, what should I do?

Earl looked around and soon noticed, he ran a few quick steps and picked up a wire from the ground.

Earl bent quickly, snapping the wire into the shape of a sight, and then loading it onto the side of the cylinder.

At this time, the tank had already come.

Captain Skinnay held his breath, he knew that whether he could succeed or not depended on himself, a large group of high-ranking officials were watching there, and he must seize the opportunity!

If you have to hit the target and destroy the target, then you might as well play a little trick and get as close as possible!

Fifty meters is about the same, as long as it hits, your own weapon will definitely be able to destroy it! This effect must be the most visually striking.

In the sights, the target grew bigger and bigger, and Skinner pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Whoosh!" The solid rocket engine ignited, and the rocket-propelled grenade pierced the air and flew out, with a puff of smoke rising from behind.
