Chapter 726: The Golan Trench (3)
"Attack!" Heinz Landau shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Roll those Chinese under the track!" ”
Heinz Landau couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been so angry, he really didn't expect the enemy to lose so many tanks and delay his troops so much time with just a tank trench. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Heinz Landau couldn't help but grit his teeth and said to himself: "Now, it's time to look good for those Chinese!" ”
But Heinz Landau soon found out he was wrong.
With a sound of explosions, the tanks that drove through the anti-tank trenches soon fell silent, and all Heinz could see was flames mixed with black smoke and the screams of the tank crews running out of the tanks.
"What happened?" Heinz asked.
The communications soldier also looked dazed, and after a while he replied: "General, the tank that broke through the defense line has been destroyed!" ”
"I know it's wrecked!" Heinz Landau lost his former composure, and he blushed and yelled: "I'm asking how they were destroyed?" ”
The signal soldier had to reply helplessly: "It's not clear, General!" ”
The reason for Heinz's confusion was that the tank that broke through the defense line was Tank No. 4.
Tank No. 4 was not invincible, but the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were inside Alexandria, so what else could the enemy destroy Tank No. 4 so quickly?
Anti-tank guns?
Unlikely, it is known that the enemy's anti-tank guns either did not penetrate deep enough or were giants like the M5 anti-tank guns, which would have been discovered and destroyed by the Luftwaffe long ago, if they existed.
Bazooka?
The gap armor of Tank 4 is designed for the metal jet of the bazooka, and it will not be destroyed so easily by the bazooka!
So what could it be? Does the enemy have new anti-tank weapons?
After thinking about it, Heinz Landau ordered: "Send the 'Tiger' style!" ”
"Yes!" The signal soldier answered, and relayed the order to the walkie-talkie.
After a while, three "Tiger" tanks slowly appeared in front of the Chinese army's defense line like a clumsy monster.
"Attention all!" Fellow villagers shouted: "The tiger of the enemy has come up, get ready for battle!" ”
The soldiers called the "Tiger" tank "Tiger", which sounded very domineering, but Zhang Chi knew it...... This time, the "tiger" was afraid that the boat would capsize in the gutter.
The "Tiger" rumbled up, still accompanied by two No. 4 tanks on either side of them, and even a few sappers ran in front of them.
The "Tiger" style is different, and it also requires sappers to explore the way in front to observe the terrain.
However, the fighters apparently would not let the sappers complete their mission, and the sniper knocked them to the ground with a few "bang" shots.
But the Tigers did not stop them, perhaps because they were confident in their armor, or perhaps because they thought that their artillery could destroy all obstacles in front of them, and the three tanks rolled into the dunes behind the anti-tank trenches at a very steady speed almost simultaneously.
The tank drove closer and closer, and Zhang Chi could even hear the roar of its engine.
Then a long cannon barrel emerges at the boundary of the dunes, followed by the tank's tracks, which carry piles of sand and dirt like conveyor belts.
At the moment when the tank stepped on the top of the dune, because the center of gravity was still in the middle and rear, the head was raised high, completely exposing a third of the weak bottom armor to the soldiers of the expeditionary force.
What's worse is that because the tank is high at this time, the tank guns and machine guns are all facing the sky, which means that the tank at this time can be said to have no self-defense ability.
"Hit!" The townsfolk shouted.
Several bazooka shooters, who had long been prepared, pulled the trigger at this moment.
THE DEPTH OF PENETRATION OF THE BAZOOKA WAS 100MM, AND THE BOTTOM ARMOR OF THE "TIGER" TANK WAS ONLY 25MM, SO AFTER AN EXPLOSION, THE TWO "TIGER" TANKS WERE BLOWN INTO A BALL OF FIREBALL, AND DUE TO INERTIA, THEY CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD FOR A WHILE UNTIL THEY DROVE INTO THE END OF THE SAND DUNE.
Another Tiger tank was lucky, perhaps slipping behind the dunes, and the few rockets fired by the fighters were all missed. The next second, when it crossed the dunes, the bazooka shooters were reloading.
However, this does not mean that the fighters do not have a chance to attack it.
After crossing the dune, the "Tiger" type rolled up another slope of the dune, so that the exposed chassis became the exposed top.
THE TOP ARMOR OF THE "TIGER" TYPE IS ONLY 40MM, AND OF COURSE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM FOR THE BAZOOKA TO HIT IT, SO SEVERAL ROCKETS SMASHED IT TOGETHER AND QUICKLY KNOCKED IT DOWN.
This is another characteristic of the "Golan trench", the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles do not say that there is no danger when they cross the anti-tank trenches, but when they climb the sand dunes, which are as large as the front and back of the triangle, they will have a situation of "raising their heads and bowing their backs".
The weakest parts of the tank's armor are the top and bottom, but the "Golan trench" allows the tank to expose these two weak parts once when crossing, and what is even more powerful is that the tank basically has no self-defense ability because the depression angle and elevation angle are too large when crossing.
This situation stunned the German correspondent who received the information on the other side, and he confirmed it twice before he dared to report to Heinz Landau: "General, our 'Tiger' type...... It's been wrecked! ”
"What? Several? Heinz asked.
"All, the three we sent!"
"No, it can't be!" Heinz said, "Is there a communication problem?" ”
"General!" The signal soldier replied: "Yes, it is confirmed to be destroyed!" ”
Heinz Landau couldn't help but sit on the ground and muttered, "No, this is a 'tiger' style, how did they do it?" ”
What Heinz didn't know was that it didn't make a difference whether it was the Tiger or the No. 4 or even the No. 1 tank that was actually sent in this case, because the bazooka could easily penetrate the top and bottom armor of all these tanks.
"General!" The correspondent asked Heinz Land, "Colonel Cole, what should I do next?" ”
Heinz hesitated, he wanted to make a desperate attempt to order all the tanks to rush forward.
But he eventually forced this urge down, knowing that if he did, even if he could break through the enemy's defenses, he would eventually be unable to face the enemy armored forces hiding in Alexandria.
Therefore, Heinz Landau believes that he needs to understand the situation first, and then formulate countermeasures based on this situation.
