Chapter 78, 59 Battle Tiger Style

After waiting for nearly two hours, the wind and sand gradually decreased, and the yellow sand gradually disappeared, revealing the blue sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The tank parked in place, most of the body is covered with yellow sand, the barrel is blocked with a lot of yellow sand, and some gaps inside the tank are filled with sand, so before starting the tank and setting off, the tank is now thrown out of the yellow sand, up and down the inspection side, and the yellow sand blocked in the pass must be out.

59 is easier to serve, after all, the process is rough, the gap is large, and it has no effect on the yellow sand. However, the German Tiger type, after passing through the yellow sand, will have to undergo a comprehensive inspection, so the crew of the German tank is also a very good maintenance personnel.

Under the scorching sun, the German tank crew was sweating profusely waving a wrench, inspecting back and forth on the tank, completely soaking wet from top to bottom, the gray military uniform had long been taken off and put aside, and he was still working in a white shirt.

It took an hour of hard work to clean up the important parts of the tank, and then to continue on the road. And the 59 tank, which was moving opposite them, was already on the road half an hour ago.

Rolling sand waves, the tracks of dozens of tons of tanks easily sank in, pressing out deep track imprints. In some places, because the yellow sand is too soft, even the chassis is close to the ground.

The commander of the 59 tank convoy stood in his seat, holding a telescope and looking at the sky in the distance, but in addition to the yellow sand, it was still yellow sand.

They are as pioneers, to take the lead in grabbing a strategic point, by the way to try what the performance of the tank is, although I heard that the gun is very fierce, and the test is also very fierce, but after all, it has not been combated, and this is a tank made by the Chinese, so they are very uneasy, but since they are all on, then try to see how this tank is.

Although I don't believe in Chinese craftsmanship, this 100mm main gun still has a great deterrent effect.

At a distance of more than 20 kilometers, both sides accelerated for a strategic point, and did not expect to meet each other in front of them.

The tank is driving on the desert, and the sand and dust are all over the sky, and such a long dust dragon can be seen from afar, so the two sides of virtue and Germany can find each other from a distance, but the tank is shrouded in flying dust, and it is impossible to see what the tank inside is.

However, the Germans guessed that in addition to the American M4, it was the British Churchill or Cromwell, which were the tanks they often encountered.

And with the U.S. military, in their answer, in addition to the No. 3 tank, it is the Tiger, and the probability of the Tiger is greater.

As the distance got closer, the crews of both sides had already seen the silhouette of each other's tanks, the Germans did not know the American tank, this kind of tank was larger than the M4 they knew, but the height of the car was lower, the semi-circular turret looked like it was not easy to penetrate.

The tanks seen by the U.S. military were, as they expected, were indeed dominated by the Tiger.

"Hard-core armor-piercing bullets!" Fearing that ordinary armor-piercing shells would not penetrate properly, they decided to use hard-core armor-piercing shells. After all, the tiger style is still very majestic in their hearts.

The drivers of the Tiger tank saw the oncoming 59, this new type of tank of the US army, they didn't know it at all, but they didn't worry about it, the Tiger has always been in their hearts, no matter what tank is a cannon. But just in case, they also chose the cap-piercing shell, he saw that the tanks on the US side were all inclined armor, and the cap-piercing shell worked very well against the inclined armor.

At a distance of 1,000 meters, the German Tiger gunners began to preview, and they were confident in their own technology and the accuracy of the 88 gun.

"Bang!" A Tiger's muzzle erupted a ball of flames, and 88mm shells flew towards 59, a kilometer away.

The tank drove on soft sand, and the sand caused a lot of resistance to the tank, so the tank's express delivery could not be fast, and the 59 ran more than 20 yards, making it easy for the Tiger gunner to aim.

The shell quickly crossed the kilometer distance between the two sides and was fiercely mounted on the 59th turret, and the result was obvious, after the shell made a loud bang, the shell was bounced off, rubbing off the sand-yellow paint, leaving a metallic white mark.

There was no penetration, and in the tank that fired the gun, the gunner frowned slightly, if it was a previous American tank, this gun would have sent the opponent's tank away. But it's relieved to think about it, since the other party has taken out this kind of tank, it's sure that this tank is no longer so easy to penetrate.

Since you can't penetrate it from a kilometer away, let's close the distance.

The two tanks continued to advance, the distance was reduced from a kilometer away to 500 meters, and the Tiger gunners continued to fire, and the shells hit the front of the 59, causing little damage.

"How is this possible!" For a while, the gunners of the Tiger tank couldn't believe that their Tiger tank couldn't penetrate the enemy's tank at a distance of 500 meters, which was simply impossible, but now it is true, and even they suspected that they were missed, but they obviously saw the shells hitting the opposing tank.

The American troops sitting in the 59 tank were as frightened as if they were riding a roller coaster, and the shells fired by the Tiger hit the armor of the 59, and every sound made their hearts burst out, for fear that the tank would be penetrated.

However, the 59 under their ass did not disappoint them, and the Tiger equipped with the short-barreled 88 gun could not penetrate the frontal armor of the 59 tank.

"Guys, the Germans' tanks can't penetrate us, now it's our turn to fight back." The commander of the flag car held the radio and shouted loudly, and his voice reached the ears of the commander of every tank.

"Fake, let them taste our awesomeness!" The other tank crews, holding their breath, shouted.

The gunner turned the shell, moved the barrel up and down, trying to keep it aimed at the German Tiger, and the driver also slowed down the delivery to prevent the body from shaking too much, affecting the accuracy.

The German driver clearly saw the barrel of the American tank pointing at him from the periscope, and the gun line in the chamber was clearly visible.

A Tiger, seeing that they were being pointed at by the enemy's tank guns, these Germans had a very bad premonition in their hearts, and the driver was ready to turn and avoid the opponent's artillery, but it was too late, and the opponent's tank had already fired.

I saw a fiery snake erupt from the muzzle of the US tank, and a shell flew towards itself at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Bell ~" There was a loud bang, no gunpowder exploded, the Tiger tank was pierced in an instant, the shell penetrated through the position of the cab, and the driver was killed on the spot. Hard-core armor-piercing shells do not have much metal ejection, and only a small projectile enters the inside of the tank, which does not explode, and causes limited damage to the inside of the tank.

But it doesn't matter, if one doesn't work, then another one. (To be continued.) )
