Chapter 1090: A Failure?
Without making them wait too long, enemy reinforcements arrived quickly, but not Americans, but a group of British troops. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the British armored forces, Trood had already seen them once before, but because the other side surrendered too quickly, they had not been able to gather much useful information.
And the British reinforcements this time are much smaller than the British troops who fought with them last time, and the same thing is that they are also the main force of fireflies. In addition to the main Firefly, they also assisted in equipping old tanks such as the Crusaders, and it seems that in order to save the emergency, the British really even moved out the old weapons, and Trode is still wondering, if they can delay a little longer, will the British still be able to drive their Churchill over?
But now is not the time to think about those things, Trode's squad is still in a formation to encircle the enemy, since the American army has chosen to retreat to defense, then it is impossible for Trode to capture this position, and if they continue to stick to this formation, it will be conducive to the British reinforcements coming from outside to strike at them.
"With me as the center point, the whole team shrinks the formation, right now, quickly!" Trode flexibly commanded the team to change the formation, although the U.S. troops inside the position tried to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak attack them many times, but Tlode and they were not idle, when this kind of time was not enough to burn their eyebrows, they had enough time to shift the formation while keeping an eye on the small movements of the U.S. troops.
In this way, Trode and they completed the assembly little by little in front of the British and American armies, and the latter was also afraid of Trode's strong strength and did not dare to move easily, and the two sides fell into a stalemate stage of silence with each other for a while, and even the artillery exchanges between each other were much less.
Trod's mission was originally to scout, and observing the enemy's situation was his most important part, but in his prediction, the enemy's reinforcements should be more, and although the enemies in front of him were enough to become his opponents, they could not let him win the bet with Andre.
After knowing that the enemy army was superior to them in terms of the number of troops, Trod thought that every move they made would attract enemies several times their size to intercept them, but now it seems that they have not been able to attract the absolute attention of the hostile coalition forces, is it really Andrei's side that has attracted the attention of the other party?
"No...... It shouldn't be that simple......" Trodewu shook his head, then picked up the microphone and said, "Tryna? If the other party wants to sneak up on us, will it still come from the rear of us? ”
"Pretty much, that's theoretical." Trana thought for a moment and said, "But I see that they are so nervous, can they still have the leisure to sneak up on us?" ”
Trode roughly held the same opinion about Tryna's statement, but he still sighed slightly and said: "Be careful, we don't know what the American on the other side means." ”
At this time, the American troops opposite Trode were full of expressions of great calamity, if it weren't for the timely arrival of British reinforcements, they might really be able to serve the country today, how could there be any idea of sneaking up on the German army. And watching Trode stay in the distance and refuse to retreat after the failure of the first wave of attacks, his heart is still beating the drum.
Combined with the advice given by Tryna, Trode considered it again and decided to let go of his hands and feet to fight. After all, this is only the first time he has fought with the US, Britain and France, and the other party does not know the depth of his strength, and he should not be taken seriously by Taipei, which is also a good opportunity for him to do a big job. Excluding other thoughts in his mind, after the entire German squad was stagnant for five minutes, Trode finally gave the order again: "Vincent, you take Leona and them to go, the British drive them away, and I continue to put pressure on the Americans, I want to see if they are really reluctant to call for reinforcements!" ”
"Good!" Vincent responded simply, and directly took away most of the team's troops, leaving only the chariot fleet other than the leopard to Trode, after all, if you want to fight against the British army with high-mobility vehicles, it is naturally impossible to use a chariot like Ferdinand, which is slow and no different from a tortoise.
And among the few chariots left, the slightly embarrassing one is Hilde's Tiger style. Heard's Tiger was once the treasure of the town team in Trode's squad, and achieved many amazing results, but he also lost a valuable Tiger due to careless fighting, and now this Tiger is a Tiger that Trod has worked hard to get.
In the 217 squad with IV as the main force at the beginning, the Tiger style can really be described as both offensive and defensive, and it is their unstoppable barrier. However, time has passed, and a few years have passed, and although the Tiger is still a relatively powerful chariot, it can no longer take on the same heavy responsibilities as in the past. One of the most significant reasons for the limitation is the Tiger's frontal protection.
As a heavy tank, the Tiger was designed to directly face the enemy's artillery fire and attack the city, and its armor level at the beginning of its birth did achieve this, at that time, whether it was the British and French forces in North Africa or the Soviet army on the Eastern Front, they all had a headache for the Tiger. In the words of many German armored soldiers: "The only one who can defeat the Tiger is the Tiger himself." (This refers more to the problem of failure, not combat effectiveness)
However, with the rapid advancement of technology, there are more and more combat vehicles and anti-tank guns that can penetrate the frontal armor of the Tiger, and the armor of the Tiger is no longer as reliable as it used to be. The Leopard medium tank that Trood was equipped with in large quantities, although it was called a medium tank, and the armor thickness itself was not as good as the Tiger, but when designing the frontal armor arrangement, they cleverly learned the large-tilted armor design pioneered by the Soviet Army, which made the Leopard's frontal protection capability (non-armor thickness) much stronger than that of the Tiger.
And this is not the only thing that makes the Tiger less defensive than the Leopard - the three indicators of length, width and height affect the tank roughly 1:3:7, but the Tiger has a much higher hull because of the use of the traditional German front drive, and in order to cope with this weight, the width of the Tiger has also been increased, only the length is not bad. However, the German designers failed to correctly recognize that length was the weakest of the three indicators that affected the defense of the tank.
It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of Soviet designers who paid attention to the low profile after reforming, the Tiger has always been a relatively failed piece of equipment.
