Chapter 283: Egyptian Defense Line (Part II)

At a distance of 4~5 meters, it leads to a slight plasticization of light armor. The 2-storey brick wall can be completely destroyed at a distance of 8~9 meters, and the brick wall can be seriously damaged at a distance of 8~9 meters, which can make the brick wall with 1.5 layers of thick bricks seriously crack and may collapse mostly.

The brick wall of 2 layers of thick bricks is tilted, and the tile roof collapses; 11~12 meters away from the glass damage, partial damage to doors and windows, small cracks and slight tilting of the brick wall, tile roof partial lifting; At a distance of 12~16 meters, the glass is seriously damaged.

Glass cracking of more than 17 meters; At a distance of 4~5 meters, 200mm thick concrete can be completely destroyed. The absolute radius of destruction is 15m, and within this range, even if there is no shrapnel hit (as in a trench), you will die from the shock wave.

15-25 meters of serious injury, but concussion and deafness, tinnitus and other sequelae are inevitable, fragment killing radius of 50m, in this range, a human body size area is distributed at least one shrapnel, to ensure that the killing safety radius of 200m, very individual shrapnel can fly to 150m or more.

If the British are using 200 mm cannons, if they are hiding in tanks, it is better to close the hatch and pray that the 200 mm perverted cannonballs do not fall within a distance of 10 meters.

Because a 200-mm shell within this distance is enough to knock over the M1 main battle tank weighing 67 tons, and if it is hit directly, it may be knocked back to a part state! (Poor four, it turns out to be so fragile!!!!!!!! )

Therefore, not only the infantry is afraid of artillery, but also the tank armor soldiers, and for the tank armorers, the most worthy of fear is the direct fire artillery hidden by the opponent.

For tank armorers, if they are directly hit by a 105 mm grenade, although the tank may not be destroyed, the appearance of the tank will also be seriously damaged, and the people in the car will also be shocked by the shock wave and lose their combat effectiveness!

If it is a 152 mm or 155 mm grenade, although the tank will not be pierced through the armor by a direct shot, it may also be thrown over the turret and the car will be destroyed! This is true for tanks, not to mention other armored vehicles.

It is not unreasonable for Rommel to allocate a separate air force for his own armored division, and with these air "nannies", it is very difficult for the enemy to hide a certain number of large-caliber artillery, not to mention that Rommel still has the "Eye of God".

Even if the enemy installs these large-mouthed cannons in the reinforced concrete bunker, a 500-kilogram bomb will fall from a height of thousands of meters and explode violently, even if it is 10 meters thick, it will be penetrated, and even if it is not blown up, the sound waves and shock waves generated by the explosion of the 500-kilogram aerial bomb will seriously damage the internal organs of the people in the bunker, and the eardrum will be split, and there is almost zero hope for life.

As soon as the cannon on Rommel's side sounded, countless huge black smoke rose from the British position, and the power of the explosion of 150 mm shells was enough to blow up a large crater three meters deep and seven or eight meters in diameter, and the British trenches were only as deep as 1,8 meters, otherwise how could people stand up and put their guns, even the anti-artillery holes would not be able to withstand a 150 cannon.

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

The entire British position was filled with gunsmoke, countless human limbs and various gun parts, carried into the sky by a violent explosion, those things were just about to fall, but there was a violent explosion below, continue to carry these things to a higher place, if any unfortunate British army was blown into the air by a shell, waiting for him can only turn into shredded meat.

Of course, the British also thought about shelling, but the planes in the air would soon swoop down with a scream, "Woo woo...... Boom ...... "A 500 kg or 250 kg bomb directly returns which cannon to the state of parts."

The British artillery began to counterattack, but only a few dozen sparse shells fell in the German attacking force, and there was no more sound, and it seemed that the British artillery units were basically cleaned up by the planes in the air.

Even if the British artillery is not cleaned up, when the air supremacy is lost and the enemy planes are still hovering in the air, no British artillery dares to remove the camouflage of the cannon to shoot, it is tantamount to looking for death, and Rommel's "Eye of God" is watching at any time!

The British artillery bombardment was not without results, the British had a 150-mm shell that hit a dead mouse, and achieved the record of destroying the first tank of the German 7th Panzer Division since the beginning of the war, and this destroyed tank was still the No. 4 tank.

The destroyed tank number was 3344, and after the 3344 tank was sent to Luxembourg to the command post, it hurried to catch up with the large forces in front.

In order to catch up with the attacking tank group as soon as possible, the commander drove his Type 4 tank fast and increased its speed to the extreme, and the No. 3344 tank was like a wild horse, speeding on the plains of the Egyptian border.

From time to time, several powerful British artillery shells fell in the distance, and the smoke from the explosion was more than 10 meters high, and it seemed that the British artillery was using a cannon of about 150 mm to shoot.

Tank No. 3344 didn't care about the shelling, like this sparse shelling, to hit the Mercedes-Benz No. 4 tank, not even a 1 in 100,000 chance, that knew that suddenly a shell directly hit the top of the No. 3344 tank.

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

The violent explosion of the 150-mm shell instantly overturned the turret of the No. 3344 tank, and the violent vibration made the heavy body of the No. 3344 tank bounce, and the ammunition in the No. 3344 tank was detonated, "boom ......"

Poor tank No. 3344 instantly returned to the state of parts, and the tank crew inside disappeared without a trace, and there was not even a slag left.

Of course, Neville did not know what happened to Tank 3344, but he found that Tank 3344 could not be contacted, and it was a critical moment in the attack, and it was impossible to send someone to find Tank 3344.

Luxembourg, the stubborn bull, because of his stubbornness, finally made his subordinates pay with their lives, I don't know how Luxembourg will feel after knowing the tragic experience of tank No. 3344.

This incident also shows that the advanced tanks are not invincible, and they must cooperate with multiple arms in order to give full play to their overall advantages, and the theory of the invincibility of a weapon is absolutely undesirable, and the M1 series tanks of the Yankees in later generations are advanced enough, and the armor is also the most advanced depleted uranium armor, and it is not killed and disabled by roadside bombs.

An infantry division of the British army defended in front of Rommel, and according to aerial reconnaissance, the entire British defense line was more than 10 kilometers long and 3 kilometers deep, and a total of three lines of defense were arranged, and the pillboxes arranged on the defense line have now become ruins of various shapes, and even the trenches of the British army are full of holes, and under such a fierce shelling, I don't know how many British troops can pick up their weapons alive.

Neville, with his own tank assault group, soon rushed to more than 500 meters in front of the British position, "Ask the artillery to stop firing, the tank assault group has reached the attack position......" Neville's request soon became a reality, and the coordination of the German departments was very rapid. (To be continued.) )
