"Fire!" When the German tanks finally approached about 700 meters, the first round of firing began with the anti-tank guns, which had long been unable to resist! Fire dragons sprang out of the slender barrels and flew towards distant targets. The gunner and gunner began to correct the gun according to the point of impact, while the loader quickly opened the bolt and exited the shell, sending another shell into the chamber.

Before the smoke cleared, the cap-piercing shell, which had a muzzle velocity of more than 700 meters per second, had already hit the heavy front armor of Tank No. 4. There was a screeching sound. Sparks from the impact burst out from the front of the armor. AT THIS DISTANCE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SHELLS FIRED BY THE 57MM ANTI-TANK GUNS WERE SUCCESSFULLY BLOCKED BY THE OPPONENT'S ARMOR. AT THIS DISTANCE, AN ARMOR-PIERCING PROJECTILE WEIGHING NEARLY 6 POUNDS IS DIFFICULT TO PENETRATE NOT ONLY THE 60MM ARMOR WITH A 40-DEGREE INCLINATION, BUT ALSO THE FRONT OF THE 80MM TURRET. Because the Germans, in order to increase protection, put a ring of spare tracks around the running shield.

However, the table of the 75MM gun and the 90MM anti-aircraft gun is much better. Especially the latter, which at this distance is almost a must for the turret of tank four! TWO TANK NO. 4 ON THE FLANKS WERE TARGETED BY FOUR 90MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WHICH FIRED A TOTAL OF UP TO 10 SHELLS IN LESS THAN HALF A MINUTE! The plume of smoke from the explosion of the shell enveloped even the tanks, but this did not save the two unlucky ones from the fate of chance, and the front armor of one of the tanks was pierced. After successfully tearing the driver to minced flesh, there was a hit on the ammunition rack in the rear of the combat vehicle. Armor and explosions detonated several hundred kilograms of ammunition inside the vehicle. With a loud bang, the entire turret was overturned with a huge amount of energy. Flames and smoke erupted from the fragile parts of the car's hull like a volcanic eruption.

The other tank was shot through the turret. However, it could be because there was no ammunition in the turret, or something else. The penetrated tank did not immediately stop firing and tried to evacuate. But then a succession of attacks made escape a luxury, and two shells broke the tracks with one shot. The other shot pierced through the armor from the side. Destroy the engine in the rear. The ignited diesel fuel instantly ignited the entire chariot, and in a matter of seconds, the steel behemoth that had just flaunted its might turned into a burning iron box.

The Americans seized the advantage of the first attack, but the Germans reacted quickly, and the German tanks, which had avoided the first strike, quickly retreated and re-hid in the smoke screen. The Germans were originally making a tentative attack, weighing the pounds and taels on the opposite side, after paying the price of 2 tanks destroyed and 3 tanks damaged. The Germans finally realized that the opposite side was a hard stubble. The Americans still tried to search for traces of German tanks that had been pushed into the smoke screen, but smoke grenades fired from the Tongguò mortars filled the battlefield with smoke. THE AMERICANS' FOLLOW-UP ATTACK WAS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE, ONLY ONE 90MM SHELL HIT THE FRONT ARMOR OF TANK NO. 4, LEAVING A HUGE CRATER ON IT, THE SHELL DID NOT COMPLETELY PENETRATE THE ARMOR, BUT THE SCATTERED SHRAPNEL STILL INJURED THE CREW INSIDE.

"The Germans have already attacked, and the fighting dogs can enter." When the first anti-aircraft cannon fired, a secret telegram was sent, and the invisible radio waves woke up the sleeping beast like a thunderbolt. Under the command of Colonel Walker. More than 60 chariots of various types rushed towards Hubey's right flank with murderous vigour. The smoke that rolled up as a mass armored vehicle marched was quickly spotted by the alert units deployed on the flanks. Karlbremani, who was in charge of defending the flanks, wiped his sweat and slowly retreated behind a hill with his crew.

"Sue the assault gun platoon, tell them not to fire in a hurry. We were so small that we couldn't expose ourselves in the first round. Bremani commanded in a low voice. The German tank company commander divided his part into two parts. Around the road, in which 5 tanks under his command were deployed on the side of the road, while the other 4 assault guns were in their positions a little further north. Judging from the direction of travel of the other party. They would get out of range of the assault guns before they were sent under the guns of Bremanny.

However, considering the huge numerical advantage of the other side. and the poor flexibility of assault gun fire. So Bremani decided to let his tanks pull the hatred first, and then let the assault guns shoot black guns from the other direction. In the case of the same number of troops. Shooting from multiple directions can make the opponent scratch their heads. Of course, before making these arrangements, Bremani had already informed Hube of the situation.

Round Sherman tanks (Note that the Sherman tanks at this point in time on the plane are somewhat worse than historical ones.) Because the author's ability to come up with a name is limited, he directly applies the ——! Coming fast on the highway. The other party's speed on the road is about 30 kilometers. The roar of engines and the sound of tracks crushing the ground drowned out the sound of the German tanks slowly retreating. And the smoke makes it impossible to see the killer hiding on the side. In front were tanks, in the back were self-propelled anti-tank guns and infantry-loaded half-tracks. Perhaps in order to improve mobility, this unit did not have supporting firepower such as self-propelled howitzers.

Bremanny's tank slowly turned the turret, the horizontal displacement of the opponent was relatively large, plus their distance was a little far, around 1200 meters, so the probability of hitting the first round of shots was not large. He first estimated the distance by using the scale marks of the guò scope and the size of the opposing tank, and then fired the first shell based on feeling. With a muffled sound, a flash of fire flashed from the undulating terrain on the side of the road, and the cannonball whizzed towards the target, only to explode behind it. The driver of one of the tanks in the back did not react and continued to drive, and a few seconds later, another shell pierced the tank's fragile side armor from the side. Smash the gearbox next to the driver. The tank swayed and curved like a drunken drunkard with great inertia before falling headlong under the roadbed. The round turret pointed to the side, like a drunkard's drooping head.

The destroyed tank alerted Walker, and the ensuing sound of cannons from a distance and the rising plumes of smoke around him made Walker realize that he was not going to be beaten but by being beaten this time. Five No. 4 tanks rained down into the distance at a maximum rate of fire of nearly 8 shells per minute. At this distance, they tried to get as many results as possible before the Sherman tank turned the frontal armor around. The explosion of shells came and went. There were even a few shells that flew onto the lightly protected self-propelled anti-tank guns in the back.

A HALF-TRACK WITH A 57MM ANTI-TANK GUN WAS BLOWN TO PIECES DIRECTLY, AND THIS SHELL IGNITED THE AMMUNITION THAT HAD PILED UP NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. A series of explosions turned the halftrack into a volcano that erupted, and the debris and flames were scattered in all directions, raining down on the surrounding cars like a rain of fire. The canvas on the roof of the convertible was cut open by high-speed debris, and some of them were ignited. Let the occupants inside the wolf bèi unbearable. It has to be said that Bremani's men are definitely well-trained. After the first few rounds of shooting, the rest of the attacks were steady and accurate. Three Sherman tanks were pierced through the sides, two of them were ignited. The turret of the other was destroyed. In addition to this, at least three other vehicles were destroyed. For a time, the entire US military convoy fell into chaos.

"Prepare to retreat. The barrel needs to be cooled down a bit, too. "The muzzle storm generated by the artillery fire kicked up a lot of dust, and the tank guns had to stop firing after the burst of fire, and Bremani knew that although he took advantage of the chaos to gain some results, the overall number of the opponent was still many times greater than his own. There is only one way to die. Under his command, 5 tanks began to alternately cover the retreat. The Americans also prepared a plan for this, a bunch of Sherman tanks carefully drove down from the land base, and then launched an attack on the retreating German tanks. A 75mm shell whizzed towards the target, making Bremani sweat.

"We've been discovered, sir." In the command car of the fighting dog Walker, a soldier said in a panic. "I see, steady! Let the officers be optimistic about those bastards, the other side is just a small unit, and let the alert troops kill them. Walker yelled at the communicator. And the calmness in his tone also infected the people around him. The officers began to crush the disorganized troops, and the alert troops began to pursue the attackers. Over time, a qiē begins to slowly return to normal.

But at this time, Walker was far from being as calm as he thought. The ambush was unexpected, regardless of whether the alert force could eliminate the sneak attackers. Their position has been exposed. Now there is still a certain distance from Hubei, and if the other party withdraws from the battle, then there is nothing he can do. If you come up and bite back, then the situation is even worse. Walker didn't think he could beat his opponent in the wilderness. The only thing he could hope for now was that Hube was attacking with all his might and couldn't get out of it for a while.

Now Walker is very entangled, according to the intelligence, the other party is a little larger than his own. If you fight hard, you will definitely suffer a loss. Leaving is the best option, but if this is the case, then the US Army in West Islam Abad is completely finished. Although they are strong on static defenses, they lack tanks and can easily be destroyed by armored forces in the wilderness if they leave cover. What defense can a unit consisting of towed artillery and truck guns have? So Walker had to think of his colleagues. Otherwise, he will be tried by a military tribunal when he returns.

"All the tanks left the road, the lightly protected and unprotected vehicles continued to drive on the road, and the reconnaissance team went out to investigate. We're on the battlefield. A moment later, Walker gave a second order.
