"One dozen, every hit will be hit!"

-- A famous American lighter advertisement

Although the shell fired by Nattle hit the front armor of the Sherman due to the bad angle of incidence, causing ricochet, other crews also fired at it at the same time, and one of them directly penetrated the upper armor of the Sherman, and the consequences were not good

"Hey, there's another one!"

Natel whispered happily that although this tank was not destroyed by him, it was a great pleasure to see the enemy's tank catch fire, and a simple-minded fool like him, who could barely hide his emotions, was even more indispensable.

As for why Nattle said "again"? That's because of another fatal flaw of the 'Sherman' tank - it is very prone to fire. To what extent has this happened? Trood saw the wreckage of the Sherman tank on the battlefield they were now in, and hardly one of them was not blackened by the flames. In more severe cases, the night battlefield can even be lit up into daylight by the burning 'Sherman'.

Although the fire rate is quite high, the casualty rate of its members is not directly proportional to the fire rate, because the fire of the 'Sherman' tank is different from the fuel tank or engine fire of most tanks, although it uses a gasoline engine that is more prone to ignition, but the cause of the fire of its hit is largely due to the propellant of the shell, which is exactly the advertising slogan of a lighter in the United States.

And because of this, people who love and hate 'Sherman' have given it a resounding nickname - Langson Lighter! The German officers and soldiers, who were fond of it, gave him another name for the 'Sherman' who was loaded with British members - Tommy Barbecue. (PS: Germans in the early 20th century used to jokingly call the British "Tommy.") ）

However, the only thing to be thankful for is that although 'Sherman' is very prone to fire, there are not many explosions caused by fire, so most of the members have come and escaped.

"Alright, back off, or let them stick to it. It's not easy to do. ”

Trood was not as calm as Marcus and Nattel, but he was not as ecstatic as Nattell, and he just commanded in a relatively slightly passionate tone.

Although the enemy has pressed up, Trode still retreats unhurriedly, because if the enemy's formation is stretched too long, his plan will not be implemented, and his team must withstand the pressure of the enemy during this time, otherwise if the plan fails, then this pressure will not be able to be solved at that time.

Trode kept observing the form in front of him, licking his lips dry from nervousness and excitement with his tongue. Then he slowly spoke: "The rear team has changed to the front team, alternately retreating, the enemy has not used all his strength, let's hold on for a while!" ”

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang spread across the battlefield, and no cannon could compare to it, perhaps because it was so loud, and the world after that felt so quiet, gunshots, cannons, explosions. It can't reach the ears anymore

"What's going on?"

Trood shouted over the radio, and some of the people in the team came to their senses, but no one answered him, because everyone was like Trode. I didn't know anything about the loud noise, the only thing I knew for sure was that it was some kind of explosion, and its power was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary bombs.

But this has to be confused. There are only three forces that can create an explosion here, the first is long-range support artillery, although the German Cricket self-propelled gun has a caliber of 150mm. But it is far from achieving the effect just now, not to mention the British 'Bishop' self-propelled guns; in addition, the second force is Trood and the tank squad opposite, not to mention Trood and others who are firing armor-piercing shells, except for the sound of the cannon, there is no other sound that is too intense, and the M4 on the opposite side Although the Sherman's tank only carries high-explosive shells, the caliber of 75mm obviously will not be the cause of this incident;The last force, that is, the infantry, the equipment of the British army Trod is not particularly clear, but the German side he still understands better, except for the Type 24 cluster grenades carried by each soldier, there is nothing that can make a loud noise, but

"See! On our left rear side! Alicia was the first to spot the source of the sound, and Trode followed her guide to look back, and he was a little speechless by the sight of the place—a three-story building had been blown away, and only a third of the wreckage was standing there, and from the empty part of the bombed, the room was in disarray, and the couch with a broken leg had been overturned in the only corner left. The glass on one of the cabinets was all shattered, and the broken wooden shelves fell weakly on the edge of the second floor, and as the door of the cabinet that was only half left opened and closed, the cabinet could fall at any time. Of course, the tragic situation is far more than that, the remains of several soldiers were found on the third floor, their tragic situation makes people can not call them corpses at all, but can only be called "wreckage", and there is a body that has been blown up and only half of the charred corpse hangs on the edge of the third floor, blood and water flow down his body, flowing into a column of water, like a hanging red line, from the third floor to the first floor that has been buried

"What's going on," Trood asked in a whisper with a trembling voice. As before, no one answered him, for they did not know, but now they should all be as ambivalent as Trood, a curiosity that drove them, but at the same time, another unknown thought and feeling hinted at the horror that lay behind their reality

“！”

Trode, who was still in pain and shock, suddenly saw something, and his eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and he shouted over the radio with choked and sobbing tones: "Mission continues!" They are still waiting for us! ”

What Trode saw was a red flag, a red flag that had been bruised by bullets, and it was shaking vigorously on a tall building behind them, in fact, it was good to hang the red flag there, Trode they could definitely see it. But one arm is holding a red flag and shaking constantly, the meaning of that, Trode understands, they will not give up, let alone themselves! (To be continued......)
