Chapter 284: This Is War (Part I)

"The 1st Tank Battalion, as the spearhead group, is behind you is the 11th Battalion of Half-track Armored Vehicles to provide you with machine-gun fire cover, the 2nd Tank Battalion and the 12th Battalion of Half-Track Armored Vehicles, you are responsible for expanding the breakthrough and annihilating the remaining enemy, and the 3rd Tank Battalion, ready to reinforce ...... at any time"

The German armoured assault groups were all mechanized, and the infantry following the tanks were all mounted on the half-tracks that followed behind.

As soon as the tank in front encountered fierce resistance from the enemy's infantry, the armored vehicles following behind immediately released the infantry squad carried on it and supported the tank in front.

Each tank is followed by an armored vehicle, loaded with a squad of soldiers, carrying 2 "Iron Fist" anti-tank rockets, an MG42 machine gun, 10 P40 submachine guns, a 50mm mortar, and 3 MG42 general-purpose machine guns on the armored vehicle, which will mercilessly tear apart the enemy who thinks of sneaking up on the tank.

The soldiers who fought with the tanks were all carried by armored vehicles, and they could get off the car when they needed to fight, which greatly ensured the assault distance and speed of the German tank troops, and as long as there was ammunition supply, they could basically attack continuously for more than 12 hours until the soldiers were so tired that they wanted to sleep.

The British army had never seen such a three-dimensional "blitzkrieg" of the German army at all, the air was bombed by aircraft, the ground was a rolling torrent of steel, and behind the armored assault group were countless armored vehicles, and on the armored vehicles were elite infantry.

Neville led the tank assault group to approach the British defense line, two hundred meters without the figure of British soldiers, one hundred meters still did not have the expected resistance, fifty meters suddenly the British position appeared countless soldiers, the sky full of grenades thrown at the charging No. 4.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The British army was still very brave, but all the heavy weapons were destroyed by the German air and artillery, and these brave British soldiers still insisted on fighting despite heavy casualties.

Will a grenade blow up a Type 4 tank weighing 24 tons? The answer, of course, was no, as countless grenades exploded around the Type IV, shrapnel striking the tank's heavy armor with a clanging sound, and there was not a day when the tank stayed even for a second.

"Bump...... Rumble...... Dada......"

The charging tanks began to roar, one blast after another exploded in the British position, countless British soldiers were blown out of the trenches by the explosion, and several machine guns on the Type 4 tank also fired mercilessly, and the fiery warheads tore through the British soldiers' bodies.

"Flutter...... Bang dang...... Touching ......"

A 50-mm anti-tank gun, which was excellently hidden on the British position, opened fire at such close range.

The muzzle of the British 50-mm anti-tank gun flashed, and a scorching anti-tank warhead went straight to the Type 4 tank at the front with countless hopes.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, it was actually a ricochet, this anti-tank shell hit the turret of No. 4, and the front of the 100-millimeter turret actually bounced off an anti-tank shell, and finally exploded in the air.

The armor-piercing ability of the 50-mm anti-tank gun is below 80 mm, and the 100-mm armor with a large angle of inclination on the No. 4 turret has a huge defensive effect.

The fate of the well-hidden 50-mm anti-tank gun was no less tragic, with a 50-tank gun simultaneously bombarding its shield.

"Boom ......" with a few loud bangs, which poor 50-mm anti-tank gun, along with five shooters, instantly turned into scum.

“…… Boom...... Da Da Da ...... Yes! ……”

Bullets shuttled, artillery roared, the British position was filled with gunsmoke, dust, and the screams of the British soldiers who were shot, the British army couldn't raise their heads in the trenches at all, and as soon as they appeared, all kinds of guns and artillery beckoned over, and the No. 4 type was advancing, crushing, and it can be said that the British army was basically a one-sided slaughter in the face of German tanks.

"Doodoo Dot ......"

There was a sound of a charge horn from inside the British position, and I don't know which British *** commander actually wanted to let the soldiers charge in such a disadvantageous situation.

Blowing up a tank with a grenade? I have to say that the bravery of the British army, those who did not die, or who were wounded and could walk, picked up their rifles, pinned grenades to their waists, and as the trumpet sounded, they suddenly jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the German tank fifty meters away, and the swastika logo on the tank was particularly eye-catching and dazzling in the sun.

"Rush! For the sake of the motherland! Drive out the invaders, brothers! ”

The British army seems to be colonizers too! The slogan for the sake of the Motherland can be shouted, but it is a bit too much to drive out the aggressor, and Britain is also one of the aggressors of Egypt, no.

Neville was still taken aback by the heroic and fearless momentum of the British army, and also yelled into the microphone:

"German 7th Panzer Division, Forward ......"

"Boom...... Dada...... Ahhhh......h

Type 4 increased its horsepower and crushed the charging British troops, the tank's machine gun made a popping sound, that was the MG42 firing at high speed, 1500 rounds per minute, could the flesh-and-blood British army block such a fierce fire?

Of course not, a Type 4 is armed with three MG42 general-purpose machine guns, and there is no problem at all with a complete blockade of a width of 100 meters in front of it.

Since the invention of the machine gun, this kind of large-scale foot charge has always suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that in front of the tank, it was ruthlessly sent to hell by the cannons and machine guns on the tank.

The three MG42s on the armored vehicles behind the tank poured bullets like water, and the charging British troops were knocked down in waves, and the bursts of blood mist rising from their bodies made the air very bloody and disgusting.

"Da Da Da ......"

It was the sound of German MG42 light machine guns and submachine guns, and the charging crowd of the British troops, swept by all kinds of bullets like wheat harvesting, blood stained every inch of land under their feet.

These warriors were defending their homeland with their lives, but the inferior equipment had turned the battlefield into a one-sided slaughter, and the guns gradually became less and quieter, and there was no British soldier standing at this time.

Where the wounded and not dead were wailing, Neville's steely heart was moved by the bravery of the British troops.

"Stop advancing, stop shooting, send liaison officers up and shout."

Neville did not want to shoot the wounded British soldiers, so he ordered the charging tanks to stop, which was a violation of military discipline, and if the enemy had a large artillery, then Neville's tank assault group would be miserable to stop here.

Perhaps Neville knew that the British artillery was no longer there, so he let his tanks stop for the wounded warriors, instead of crushing them mercilessly.

"British soldiers, you have fulfilled your mission, you are worthy of the brave warriors, now that you are wounded and need help, we will send a medical team to treat your wounded, please lay down your arms and receive medical treatment immediately, if anyone dares to shoot our medical personnel, you will all be executed...... )
