Chapter 33: Racing

After I made my rounds for a while, I heard Vincent's voice: "Hey, look at the south, there seems to be movement. ”

I looked south, it was a little cloudy tonight, the moonlight was very faint, and I looked for a long time and found nothing.

"I didn't see anything, what about you?"

"The sight is too poor to see clearly."

"I don't see any signs of an enemy on my side."

It seems that Hans and Leona are in the same situation as me, but I am still a little uneasy about Vincent's discovery, and it is better to confirm it at this time: "Vincent, which position you just said, let's take a look at the specifics." ”

"It's about 35° south-west, but I can't see it now, so I guess I'm too careful." There was a small voice coming from his side.

We looked in that direction again, and there was still nothing

Soon after, the truck in front of us was hit, and although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked to see the fuel tank of the truck in front of me hit and start to burn. We immediately stopped to prepare for the battle, and the pilot's brothers reacted very quickly, immediately firing a flare in the direction of the enemy.

The enemy's position is to the south of us, very close to the position Vincent said earlier, and it is initially estimated that they may have been detected by Vincent when they came from that side, but we could not have searched for it at that time, and that would be a waste of all our efforts.

With the launch of a flare, we saw three Crusader cruiser tanks side by side, and we were definitely no more than a hundred and fifty meters away, and it was quite frightening that we had not yet found this place, but they had not been able to detect the trap we had set for them at this distance, and in this respect we had taken advantage of it.

"Attack!" Several strange wooden shells began to spin in place at my command, revealing a steel tube and a 75mm black hole in the middle of it

Before they could react, we managed to destroy the first Crusader.

At the same time, I gave the order to Natle and the rest of the crew: "Well hit, reload quickly, hit the car behind first." ”

Natel replied confidently: "Look at me, at this distance, a crispy tank like the A15 will never escape." ”

As he expected, the tank I had designated was destroyed in an instant.

At this time, the only remaining sneak attacker really clearly understood his situation. He started desperately reversing, and in order not to be detected by us, he did not fire to reveal his position, which was a wise choice, but also reduced our risk.

"He's reversing, and Hans is in charge of the rest of the two tanks, remember not to leave them alive. The others are catching up, we can't let him run! ”

I immediately removed the wooden camouflage from the tank and said to Yorkson: "Chase quickly, you don't need to find a shooting position, just chase him." ”

Yorkson was also grinding his fists and clapping his hands, and answered me directly: "What you are waiting for is this!" It's all canyon fighting and errands today, and I'm suffocated, how can I let such a good prey run away? ”

Although our brother soldier did his best to shoot flares in the direction he was fleeing, he was so fast that he retreated into the shadows the moment he was illuminated.

After driving about 100 meters, I fired another flare, and finally caught his exact whereabouts.

I quickly gave the other cars an order: "Surround it, move and fire!" ”

It would be very difficult to hit and penetrate a vague moving target at full speed at night, and although we were three tanks, and the rate of fire was still very fast, our shells were off target, but they were getting closer and closer, and he was firing back, but this kind of fire did not pose any threat to our pursuit.

Eventually, the Crusader tank began to reverse diagonally backwards, trying to turn and flee, but this was the opportunity I was waiting for: "Immediately fire on the spot, and that's what happened to him." With that, I immediately fired another flare.

Three shells flew out, and Natle's cannonball hit the target accurately, cutting a hole in the side of the Crusader's turret. But this is not what I want, because this kind of injury is by no means fatal, and such a hit is even dispensable for us who demand the complete destruction of the enemy. After that, Leona and Vincent's shells also flew off, leaving us with one last chance - a second shell for each car.

"Nattel, aim for his engine, break it, can't let him go any further." I was very anxious at this time, but I couldn't put any more pressure on them, so I tried my best to keep my voice low.

He didn't answer me, but quietly aimed at the target, and just as the car was about to sink into darkness, two shells were fired at the same time, but neither of them hit.

"Damn it!" Natel slammed the main gun, and I knew he fired one of those two shells.

Just when I was at a loss for what to do, a beam of light swept through the night and flew straight towards the tank. A 75mm warhead reflected the brilliance of the flares and disappeared into the boundless darkness.

"I hit him! It's a track! His right track is broken! ”

An agitated voice pulled me back from my confusion, and that's when I realized what had happened - it was Leona's voice, her gunner had broken the crusader's tracks at the last moment, and now he couldn't move, and we were going up to annihilate him!

As we moved forward, the Crusader seemed to have given up any hope, motionless, but his turret was probably due to the fact that Nattel's moment was gone.

"Stop and fire!" I felt like I was giving this order like an executioner pronouncing the sentence to be executed.

I saw that someone was crawling out of the tank, but it was too late to get ready to escape. Eventually, under our concentrated fire, the tank came to an end in Vincent's crew, as a shell hit his ammunition rack, and a beam of fire soared into the sky, and the turret was pushed into the sky by the air wave, flying straight up five meters high.

The British pride of the "Crusader", this A15 cruiser tank shines brightly in the dark night, this beautiful fireworks exist to celebrate our victory
