Chapter 513: Super Lollipop

"The target is not moving." Here, through the sights of the tank, it is possible to clearly see the situation on the opposite side.

The hunter tank destroyer on his side fired three guns and two guns to hit the target, and in the static to static shooting, the gun commander's aiming was already quite level.

One of the target tanks was even blown up, but there was no other movement on the opposite side.

It seems that he is overthinking.

At this moment, the battalion commander's urging came over the radio again: "3rd Company, accelerate forward, the division commander orders us to intersperse the 1st Panzer Division of the British." ”

Interspersed with divisions, they are the main force, they go straight through, divide the 1st Panzer Division into two pieces and eat them separately!

So, without further hesitation, Meyer gave the order to his troops: "Full speed ahead!" ”

Advance!

The tank engine roared, the tracks crushed the ground, and one tank after another, quickly pushed towards the opposite side.

With the load wheels bouncing from time to time, and the torsion bar at the bottom of the tank constantly counteracting the force of the bouncing, it can be said that Germany is unique in terms of tank chassis.

The 40-ton chassis is enough to demonstrate the technical level of Germany.

The Panther 3 tank was in front, and the Chaser tank destroyer was in the back, and they rushed towards the position where the British tank was located, and this way was a straight line, the fastest way.

In the distance, the rumble of the engine was getting closer and closer, and the British tankers were all excited to try it in their hearts.

It's coming, it's coming.

In a tank in the center, the brigade commander Hebat also barely suppressed his excitement, relying on the spirit of not being afraid of death, after sacrificing the fighters on the two tanks, they finally waited for the opportunity!

From the observation hole here, you can see that the German tanks are rumbling up, closer, closer!

On the ground, there was a slight trembling, the movement of the German tank troops was quite imposing, the leading Panther 3 tank, drove over, and behind it, there were those strange-looking tanks without turrets.

Now, they don't know that the German Stalker tank destroyer, the attention of the British intelligence system, is on the Panther 3 tank.

"Okay, it's time!" Hebat gritted his teeth and slammed out from the top of his turret, holding a No. 74 grenade in his hand.

This grenade, from the outside, resembles an oversized lollipop. And its principle is similar to that of a lollipop.

At the top is a large round metal case, and inside this metal case, there is a glass ball containing nitroglycerin, the surface of which is glued with a strong adhesive, and the bottom is an ordinary handle.

When taken out, Hebat carefully pulled out the needle from the grenadier's hand, and with a soft snap, the shell split in two, revealing a glass ball, and the other needle would activate the five-second delayed detonation fuse.

That's a big lollipop!

This thing is heavy, and when Hebat got out, he immediately aimed at the Panther 3 tank that had just passed his tank, so let's start with it!

Twenty meters away is the range he can throw out!

With all his strength, Hebat threw the grenade out!

When using it, you have to be careful, if it sticks to your body, it will be troublesome.

The No. 74 grenade is a unique weapon developed by the British. It's like a strong adhesive that sticks wherever it goes!

This grenade, which appeared earlier than in history, was the result of Churchill's intervention.

The strength of the German armored forces made the British realize their shortcomings in anti-armor, and in addition to developing new tanks and anti-tank guns, they were also renovating simple and effective weapons.

For the armor of the tank, blowing it up with a grenade is a stupid method, and at the same time it is an effective method, but the power of a single grenade is insufficient, so you need to tie more grenades together.

On the one hand, it is heavier, and on the other hand, it is not easy to throw on a tank.

After all, the tank doesn't stop there, it's constantly moving, and the grenade is thrown up, and it may turn upside down again.

Moreover, the grenade is originally round, and it is easy to roll down, and it is quite tragic to use the grenade to attack a target at a high place, and it is easy to blow yourself up.

In this case, two members of the British First Defense Division, Major Millis Jeffries and Major Stuart McRae, came up with the idea of creating a grenade that would stick to enemy tanks when thrown.

After many failures, their grenade still had a lot to offer, but when Churchill learned of the development of this grenade, he began to urge its development and production.

And, having watched a test demonstration of this grenade, he stared at the pressure and ordered this grenade to go into production. Named anti-tank grenade No. 74.

Churchill knew that no matter how many deficiencies there were, it at least gave the infantry an anti-tank opportunity, which was better than facing the tank with both hands.

Now this grenade has just been put into production, and the production is not much, and it is first distributed to the most elite troops, and the 1st Panzer Division is assigned a batch.

Now Hebart, he realized Churchill's intentions, no matter how many deficiencies it had, at least, so that British soldiers could fight German tanks!

In his eyes, the grenade with his hope rolled exactly behind the Panther tank!

In any tank, the protection of the rear is insufficient, especially the tail has an engine, and the armor is unlikely to be quite thick.

As long as this grenade explodes, it can blow up their engine, even if the diesel engine does not catch fire, but is simply damaged, it can also make them ineffective.

Even, if the Germans were repelled and this tank of theirs was returned, it would be even better!

In the short time that the grenade flew past, Hebart thought a lot, and when his grenade accurately hit the tail of the Panther tank, he almost cheered.

It worked!

But, the next moment, he couldn't be happier.

I saw my own grenade hit the other party's tail, and then it gurgled down!

No sticking, no sticking!

If it sticks, it's like a lollipop, firmly fixed there, and then it explodes. But now, instead of sticking, it rolled off.

The Germans, really, don't they know to maintain their tanks? So dirty!
