Tank attack, of course, is tactical.

It is not impossible to rush forward in a swarm and rely on the strong strength of the tank to break down the opponent's defense, but it is too inefficient to do so.

The German tanks, the combat efficiency of use, are the highest, they in the offensive, the more commonly used tactic, is to seek a breakthrough in a position, and when the breakthrough is made, they will immediately move to the opponent's two wings and tear a bigger gap!

Just leaning on the rat tank, a small gap was opened, and then the Panther 3 tank swarmed up, so that a large gap was opened and the opponent's first line of defense was broken.

The first line of defense of the British was quite long, with the Thames River flowing through the center of the city as the dividing line, and in the southwest, dozens of kilometers of defense line were deployed, and now they have just broken through a gap.

If they were allowed to continue attacking the second line of defense, they would not be able to widen the opening, and now, they are moving to the flanks!

As a result, the soldiers on the second line of defense of the British were instantly dumbfounded.

The main anti-tank weapons were deployed on the first line of defense, and they were deployed forward, and when the positions on this side were breached, they remained in place, guarding their own positions.

Their anti-tank guns, the muzzles were forward.

And now, the tanks of the Germans, coming up from behind!

"Quick, quick!" In a Panther 3 tank, Dinersburg shouted loudly, and then, excitedly, he told the gun commander next to him: "Karl, ninety degrees on the right, find a 17-pounder gun, stop, fire!" ”

The British, the most powerful anti-tank gun, is the 17-pounder gun! It was also Dinersburg's favorite opponent.

His voice was heard, Baker in front, loosened the throttle, stepped on the brakes, and in the bumps of the tank, the loader completed the loading of the shells, and the gun commander, Karl Bowman, pressed the switch under his feet, and the entire turret, followed the rotation.

Yes, he is the outstanding tank ace of later generations, and now, he is only 19 years old.

At the age of 18, he could not wait to enlist in the army, entered the Waffen-SS service, and after rigorous training in the rear, he became the gun commander of the Panther 3 tank.

The battle that belongs to him is also being staged.

After the turret was turned, Bowman saw the 17-pounder gun in his sights, and at this time, the British were also in a hurry.

Behind their own side, German tanks appeared, and instead of continuing to attack the second line of defense, they came to their own back!

Several gunners, scrambling to push the gun, wanted to turn the towed gun in a circle.

They had been in battle for a long time, but the muzzle was forward, and now, they needed to attack the target behind them!

Self-propelled anti-tank guns are the best, but in wartime there are not so many resources, and self-propelled guns are built on water, and more are towed.

So, throughout World War II, the most commonly used anti-tank gun in Germany was the 50 mm anti-tank gun, which was quite flexible, two people could push and run, transfer positions or something, very quickly.

The British 2-pounder guns, 6-pounder guns, were also in this idea, but because of limited firepower, they had to come up with a new 17-pounder gun.

This cannon, weighing three tons! Just think about it, it's not so easy to push such an anti-tank gun to steer.

Moreover, because this kind of gun was developed urgently, there was no suitable gun mount, and the temporary use of the 25-pounder field gun mount was even more cumbersome.

If the British were given enough time to allow their 17-pounder guns to mature, especially the shell-out armor-piercing shells that represented the world trend of anti-tank shells did not appear, only ordinary steel-core shells.

Several artillerymen, hurriedly raising their legs, wanted to turn, and at this time, the Panther 3 tank, already firing fiercely!

"Boom!" An 88-mm grenade, which exploded almost next to the 17-pounder gun!

The debris flew, the gunners screamed, they were hit by the debris, they were swept away by the air current, and then, a more violent explosion came, and the ammunition box next to it was detonated!

"Boom!" In the detonation of the ammunition, with the anti-tank gun as the center, no life could survive within a dozen meters around, and the huge explosion also made the British soldiers tremble.

The tanks of the Germans, it was really terrible! And the German tanks that entered behind their own side were even more terrifying!

The battle on the front line was raging, and at this time, in the rear headquarters, it was also extremely shocking.

Originally, I was counting on the anti-tank trenches, which would be able to hold back the Germans for a few days! And now, the Germans actually made a terrible tank, and it was directly crossed.

Our own defense line has been broken through a big gap, and at this time, along this big gap, the German army is pouring in! They did not advance to their own depth, but on the flanks, they launched a charge on their own flanks.

"Don't hesitate any longer, send out our tanks and make a counter-charge!" Harold Alexander, said to Hobert.

To deal with the enemy's tank, of course, your own tank is the most suitable!

But now, the tanks of the British, the technical performance is simply too backward, and none of them can compete with the German tanks.

Therefore, Britain has always planned to use defensive tactics to solve the problem, but now, seeing that the army on the first line of defense may be eaten, they can no longer hesitate.

Up to now, the latest tanks are still being tested, and under development, their main force to protect London is still the "Matilda" type infantry tank, the armor of this tank is quite thick, but its artillery, or 2-pounder gun, has almost no ability to confront the Germans.

Although there is little hope, it is better than watching the loss of position!

However, Hobert did not nod.

Sending it out will not help, and the tank unit in hand is already the last reserve, and it cannot be consumed like this.

"Our anti-tank weapons are mainly deployed on the front line, and if the troops on the front line are eaten by the Germans, then we will definitely not be able to hold London!" Harold was in a hurry.

This kind of time is definitely not the time for mother-in-law.

"If we want to hold London, we have only one way now." Hobart gritted his teeth and said to the adjutant beside him, "Give me the Prime Minister's office." ”

I hope that the Prime Minister is still in London, otherwise, without the authorization of the Prime Minister, then I can only make up my mind, even if I am a sinner in London, I will block the invasion of the Germans! .
