Mao Weiguo is really a little anxious, and his friends are not giving him strength at critical moments. One is just driving with his head down, and the other is playing nonsense, how does Nima let him complete the task assigned to him by his superiors?

Anyway, at that moment, Mao Weiguo really wanted to hit the wall. It's just that things on the battlefield are always so interesting, Mao Weiguo's side is a mess, but isn't it chaotic on the German side?

To tell the truth, the German side was also very chaotic, because the Germans did not encounter tanks at all, so they generally lacked anti-tank capabilities. Let's put it this way, on the German side, apart from the 37-mm anti-aircraft guns hidden in the bunkers, there were hardly any anti-tank weapons, and the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launchers equipped to them were still in the basement of the headquarters, and they were not opened at all. Because the officers did not think that the partisans had tanks.

The Germans will soon have to pay the price for their carelessness, just when Mao Weiguo watched Zhang Huangxin have a good time, the pilot tankman seemed to find the feeling of the gun commander, no way, who made him too excited just now, he finished all the bullets of the parallel machine gun in one go, and did not find spare ammunition for the time being, so he had no choice but to pick up the gun.

Zhang Huangxin, who played two roles, staggered to remove the ammunition from the magazine rack, and then stumbled into the barrel of the gun. After closing the bolt, he was busy aiming again, only to see him gently shake the handwheel decently, and try to aim the cross in the scope at the target.

"Ready, put!"

Zhang Huangxin shouted the password to himself as he fired the artillery, and as the tank shook, a cloud of smoke rose from the scope. The grenade knocked down half of the small building opposite, and the German machine gunners hiding inside were either killed or smashed to death by the collapsed turning heads and beams.

Even if he looked at Zhang Huangxin more and more, Mao Weiguo had to admit: "Good job!" Of course, he quickly added, "Keep doing it!" ”

Zhang Huangxin also felt that he had done a good job, and he once again left the position of the gun commander to act as a loader, and after repeating the reloading steps. He began to carefully maneuver the bearings and the high and low handwheels, diligently identifying the holes of the enemy's artillery in the billowing smoke.

At this moment, another German 37 gun fired, which accurately hit the nose of tank No. 4, but was bounced off again due to lack of ammunition. But it also gave the driver Anthony a wake-up call, and he realized that he was too close to the enemy. If you continue like this, you will have to get caught up in the enemy's crossfire. So the driver quickly kicked the brakes, causing the No. 4 tank to stop with a creak.

And this greatly reduced the difficulty of Zhang Huangxin's aiming, and he viciously shot at the shooting hole of the German 37 guns. Blow the damn gun back to parts with its squad.

"Hurry up! Continue! Mao Weiguo was happy, and vigorously patted Zhang Huangxin's shoulder to urge the gunner and loader to speed up.

"How fast am I alone!" Zhang Huangxin muttered, to be honest, such continuous firing really consumes physical strength, especially when he holds two positions, which is really a tragedy.

Zhang Huangxin's words reminded Mao Weiguo, and he got into the position of the loader without saying a word, and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll help you!" ”

Zhang Huangxin soon opened fire again, he constantly cultivated the enemy's fortress with artillery fire, and as the walls of the enemy's fortress continued to collapse, the Germans inside had to retreat back in embarrassment!

This made the rebel soldiers in the back blocks rejoice, and in the last line of sunset, the rebel soldiers holding high the tricolor flag rushed to the German fortress, and occupied the two strongholds without a blow.

"Onward! Anthony, hurry up and drive! Don't be stunned! Mao Weiguo was very dissatisfied and knocked on the hatch of the cab, and it took a long time for Anthony to poke his head out in a daze.

"Don't be stunned!" Mao Weiguo reminded, "Advance, the enemy will soon counterattack, we must go up to cover our comrades!" ”

Under the command of Mao Weiguo, Anthony drove the tank slowly, while Zhang Huangxin was studying how to load the parallel machine guns. A few minutes later, they were again at the front, and at the corner of the street, less than fifty meters away, about a platoon of German troops was massing, apparently preparing for a counterattack.

"Aim for a crowded place!" Mao Weiguo gave instructions.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Huangxin fired a cannonball, which accurately drilled through the wall, interrupted a German second lieutenant, and continued to fly forward with a whoosh, and then penetrated three walls one after another before falling to the ground with a loud bang.

"Dud?" Mao Weiguo was a little annoyed.

"Bullshit!" Zhang Huangxin scolded, "How do you pretend to be an armor-piercing bullet!" Hurry up and change the grenade, hurry! The enemy is coming! ”

I have to say that Mao Weiguo is indeed a layman, he didn't notice any difference in the shells on the magazine at all, and he easily loaded an armor-piercing bullet, which naturally had a poor effect.

At the urging of Zhang Huangxin, Mao Weiguo quickly found a grenade and quickly pushed it into the barrel, almost at the same time as he closed the bolt and dodged to a safe position, Zhang Huangxin fired.

This time, the shell exploded in the pile, and the unlucky ghosts who were close to the shell were directly blown up into a fight, and the flying shrapnel was even more merciless to harvest life, this cannon was really good, and it exploded in the center of the German offensive formation, and achieved good killing results.

However, Zhang Huangxin was not complacent, just when Mao Weiguo was loading, he used the parallel machine gun to pull the trigger and swept the Germans, knocking off a bullet belt in one go, which greatly killed and injured the Germans. After repeated shelling and machine-gun fire, the Germans were repulsed, crawling back into their dog holes and shivering.

Hold on until dark, under the order of Mao Weiguo, Anthony hung up the reverse gear and retreated behind his position, there is no way that the fuel tank is about to bottom out, and if they stay a little longer, they will become the most dazzling target on the battlefield.

"Hurry up! And collect as many shells as you can! And find me a strong guy! ”

Mao Weiguo's subordinates asked puzzledly: "What do you want a strong guy for?" ”

Mao Weiguo replied angrily: "What are you doing as a loader!" You're trying to exhaust me! ”

To tell the truth, Mao Weiguo was tired enough for these two hours, and at this time he couldn't lift his arms like lead.

However, since it was necessary to have a full crew, it was naturally impossible to lack a radio operator, and soon a young man who knew how to radio was found, and the fourth tank crew, which was later called the Free France, was finally completed.

According to the instructions of the insurgent command, an attack was to be launched overnight that night, striving to break through the enemy's defense line as soon as possible, and the French flag was planted on the roof of the German city defense headquarters.

"Turn on the headlights!" Mao Weiguo ordered, "Forward!" ”

The Free France slowly moved forward, but it was not alone, and behind the hull was a dozen rebel soldiers, all armed with submachine guns, whose main task was to cover the two wings of the Free France.

In order to cover the advance of the Free France, the command of the rebel army concentrated the few mortars and opened heavy fire on the German positions, and for a time the explosions came and went.

Zhang Huangxin stared intently at the German position opposite, not letting go of the slightest disturbance, as long as there was the slightest movement, he would not hesitate to pull the trigger, and use the parallel machine gun to shoot one or two long shots to deter the enemy.

At first the Germans behaved calmly, but when they had reached a certain distance, the German positions were suddenly filled with fire, and a series of machine-gun bullets poured down like a torrential rain, causing the hull of the Free France to clang. Of course, the machine gun was no match for the No. 4 tank, and the Germans were not targeting the tank, but the tank's headlights. Sure enough, after a volley of machine guns, the headlights of the Free France were shattered, and for the half-hung driver Anthony, the narrow view of the cockpit was enough to give him a headache, but now he couldn't see anything at all, so how could he drive?

In desperation, Anthony could only stop and wait for Mao Weiguo's instructions, but fortunately, Mao Weiguo had already expected this situation, and immediately ordered the radioman to contact the rear artillery and ask them to fire flares immediately.

As several dazzling flares rose into the sky, Anthony saw his way forward again, and began to advance slowly in the face of the increasingly heavy German machine-gun bullets. At the same time, Zhang Huangxin did not just take the beating and did not fight back, seeing that the parallel machine guns could not suppress the enemy, he hurriedly began to shoot the artillery.

Grenades were sprayed out of the breeches of the guns, sparking the German positions, and the screams of the German devils could be heard from time to time. To be honest, this feeling is really good for Zhang Huangxin, from the day he joined the army, what he wanted most was this kind of cheerful sense of revenge, which was much happier than being a transport plane pilot.

Anyway, for the first time, Zhang Huangxin felt that flying a transport plane was so boring, and he still preferred the feeling of a bayonet hitting the flesh when he saw a red fist. He had already made up his mind that he was going to apply for a change of position after returning to the Soviet Union, and he wanted to drive a tank. If you think that the German garbage tanks are so energetic, wouldn't the better and more powerful tanks of the Red Army be more energetic and aggressive?

Just when Zhang Huangxin was thinking about a bright future, Mao Weiguo was engrossed in examining the situation on the battlefield through the commander's observation glass: the German army's position was indeed crumbling, but he did not believe that the German army had no countermeasures. Mao Weiguo has fought with German devils so many times, even if he is very disgusted with these devils, he has to admit in his heart that they do have a way of fighting.

In the afternoon, they were taken by surprise, and the Germans did not expect the rebels to be accompanied by tanks, which allowed them to break through the two roadblocks on the front line. But after these few hours, the Germans definitely already have a plan for coping, and I am afraid that there must be anti-tank means waiting for them in front.

Is it an anti-tank gun? Or anti-tank mines? Is it simply a panther or a tiger in front of you?

Mao Weiguo has heard of the power of the Black Panther and the Tiger, according to the reaction of the resistance group on Caen's side, the Allied tanks are generally not the opponent of the Black Panther and the Tiger, as for the heavier and more powerful Tiger King, he can almost unilaterally beat the Allied armored troops, anyway, as long as the Allied air support is not available, the German armored troops are the kings of the Western Front.

Mao Weiguo knew very well that the half-hung tankmen on his side were definitely no match for the elite German armored forces. Once you run into a German tank, not to mention the Tiger and Panther, even the No. 3, No. 4 tank or assault gun can easily blow them up.

The only thing that can make Mao Weiguo a little more reassuring is that according to the reconnaissance report before the uprising, the German army only has a small number of tanks in Paris, basically no Haw Par and the like, and most of them are No. 4 tanks or No. 4 destroyers that have just been dragged down from the front line and refurbished.

"I wish the Germans had moved all these tanks to the front!" Mao Weiguo secretly prayed in his heart.

But his prayers had no effect, and with a loud bang, a cannonball swept past the front of the car in front of his eyes, and with a whoosh shook his eardrums!

"Damn it!" Mao Weiguo scolded, "Pay attention to the enemy's artillery!" ”

Yes, Mao Weiguo didn't see clearly what exactly was shooting at them, but he was sure that it was definitely not a joke.

For this group of rookies who drove tanks to the battlefield for the first time, the situation in front of them was quite passive, their operation experience was insufficient, and they had not been able to find the enemy's position.

Anthony immediately panicked, he was not used to driving a tank, and his operating skills were quite improvised, and in a hurry, he actually put on the wrong gear, and the engine of the Free France was suffocated.

It's really a house leak that happens to rain overnight, and what you're afraid of will come. At the very moment when the Free France was discontinued, another armor-piercing projectile flew over, almost grazing its turret. It was clear that this was a mistake and a mistake, and if Anthony hadn't turned off the engine and stopped, they would have been hit just now.

"I see it, I see it!"

Zhang Huangxin suddenly shouted happily, after stopping, he did not rush to get angry, but calmly observed the battlefield, his flight instructor once warned him: "No matter what situation you encounter, first of all, you can't mess with yourself." What you have to do is to do what you can and should do, and to do your duty. As long as everybody does that, you can save the day. ”

Zhang Huangxin kept this sentence in mind, so after the tank was turned off, he did not shout or rush to fire like Anthony and Mao Weiguo, but calmly searched the battlefield through the scope. So at the very first moment when the enemy opened fire again, he found out where the enemy was.

"Three o'clock, see! Three o'clock! ”

Don't look at Zhang Huangxin shouting excitedly, but the movements in his hands did not stop, I saw him quickly shake the handwheel, and the turret quickly turned to the enemy in the direction of three o'clock. At this time, Anthony was trying to start the engine, and Mao Weiguo adjusted the commander's observation scope and turned to the three o'clock position, he wanted to see what the enemy was.

At first, Mao Weiguo didn't find the enemy, he only saw a bush, and it wasn't until a flare exploded in the sky that he saw the enemy's face clearly - my good man, this is a Tiger King!!

Yes, Mao Weiguo saw this heavy tank on the identification card of the Allied airdrop more than once. The Tiger King was a major target of the French Resistance, and at the request of the Allies, they had to find out the movements of every Tiger King on French soil, as each Tiger King could inflict heavy casualties on the Allies.

So when he found out that his enemy was a Tiger King, the cold sweat on Mao Weiguo's forehead came down, because no matter how you look at it, this is an asymmetrical contest. The artillery of Tank No. 4 can't help the Tiger King at all, but the Tiger King can blow them up from two thousand meters away!

"Retreat!"

Mao Weiguo gave the order to retreat as soon as possible, but his order was a little late, because just as he was shouting, Zhang Huangxin had already launched his first attack, and the armor-piercing bullet flew out with a whizz, almost hitting the hidden position of the Tiger King almost as soon as he was discharged. Obviously, Zhang Huangxin's artillery skills were limited and he failed to hit the enemy.

However, his attacks were not ineffective, at least he let the members of the Tiger King know that they were exposed. With a deafening low-frequency roar, the tail of the Tiger King spewed out clouds of black smoke, and the tiger finally shook off the camouflage on its body and slowly walked out of the hole with elegant cat steps.

At this time, Mao Weiguo was leaning out and shouting to the infantry at the back of the car: "Hurry up and retreat, the enemy's tiger king is coming!" Fast! ”

This sentence startled the resistance soldiers at the back of the car, who didn't know how powerful the Tiger King was. Immediately, these young men were a little panicked, and they were so anxious that they turned around and ran, but before he could run ten paces away, he was beaten into a sieve by the dense machine-gun fire of the Germans.

"Damn bastard!"

Witnessing the death of his comrades-in-arms, Mao Weiguo felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything now, because his situation was worse than that of his resistance comrades behind the car, and tanks were definitely a conspicuous target on the battlefield.

When Mao Weiguo was anxious, Zhang Huangxin became more and more calm, because it was useless if he was not calm, anyway, it looked like a dead end, and it was useless to panic. He nervously operated the high and low machine, trying hard to trap the Tiger King in the scope, and when the Tiger King who jumped out of the hiding place stopped again, he decisively chose to fire.

Duang thudded, the metal shell was withdrawn from the chamber, and the sweaty and steaming loader stuffed another shell into the chamber without saying a word. However, Zhang Huangxin was not in a hurry to shoot, because the shot just now was very accurate, and it happened to be pasted on the face of the Tiger King......

Generally speaking, this is meaningless, because the 75 gun of the No. 4 tank does not have the ability to penetrate the front face of the King Tiger, and even the use of 48 times the caliber 75 gun of the No. 4 tank at zero distance will not be able to help the front face of the King of Tiger. Of course, this is only theoretical, as we all know that the armor of the Tiger King is a well-known tofu scum project, and the ability to resist blows is actually not as strong as it seems on paper. In the case of the 48 x 75 gun of the No. 4 tank, it was able to penetrate the front of the Tiger King in some cases, or cause the Tiger King's armor to shatter in a large area.

So did Zhang Huangxin's cannon get the Tiger King? The answer is no, not because the armor-piercing bullet is not powerful, but because Zhang Huangxin did not use the armor-piercing bullet against the Tiger King at all.

Why? The reason is very simple, Zhang Huangxin has also heard of the strength of the Tiger King, and thinks that the armor-piercing bullet of the No. 4 tank may not be able to help the other party. Instead of tickling the Tiger King with armor-piercing bullets, try your luck with grenades.

There may be comrades who want to say, armor-piercing bullets can't get the Tiger King, and grenades are even more useless! That being said, armor-piercing shells have armor-piercing shells, and grenades also have grenade tactics. Zhang Huangxin did not intend to penetrate the Tiger King when he switched to a grenade, it was impossible, he mainly went to the Tiger King's observation and sighting system, because the grenade can produce more fragments, and if it can hit the Tiger King's turret, there is a certain chance of abolishing its observation and sighting system. When the Tiger King becomes a dominated tiger, what else is there to fear?

After making up his mind, Zhang Huangxin just did what he said, and aimed at the turret of the Tiger King, he shot it, don't say that it really made him confused. This grenade accurately hit the turret of the King Tiger, and the flying shrapnel completely abolished the sight of the King Tiger Gun Commander, and the most direct consequence was that the bomb that the King Tiger fired back hit the plane.

It was at this moment that Anthony finally started the tank, and as puffs of sticky black smoke erupted from the rear of the car, the Free France was finally resurrected with full blood.

"Onward! Go around to the side! Zhang Huangxin shouted at Mao Weiguo.

To be honest, Mao Weiguo was a little hesitant, but after a while, he also let go: "Anthony, go around from the left, quick!" ”

The Tiger King's commander leaned out of the turret and couldn't help but explode when he saw the gunner's scope turned into a pile of garbage. Obviously, there was no way to fight next, and he immediately ordered a retreat.

The Tiger King clumsily hung up the reverse gear and slowly retreated backwards, and I have to say that this seventy-ton monster put too much pressure on the engine, gearbox and suspension system. You have to move carefully even on flat ground, and you have to be especially careful off-road, because you don't know when it's going to strike.

"Reload, don't pierce armor, grenades, quick!"

Zhang Huangxin was so excited, he never thought that he would become a tiger hunting hero, you must know that even if it is the armored forces of the Red Army, there are not many people who can single-handedly get the Tiger King, especially if they still use models that are far inferior to the Tiger King, which is basically rare.

But Zhang Huangxin knew that he would definitely succeed, and yes, he even came up with a bold idea that he would rely on his own strength to capture this tiger king.

Zhang Huangxin shook the handwheel steadily, firmly encased the crosshairs on the Tiger King's load-bearing wheel, and soon, with his cheers, the poor Tiger King was paralyzed on the battlefield...... (To be continued.) )
