Lei Rui didn't see the full trajectory of the shell, but he did see a thick green trajectory flashing in his narrow field of vision, and then the L12 tank was hit by the shell, fortunately, this shell was not a frontal hit, but a little off, and the angle of incidence was very small, so that it did not penetrate the side armor of the L12 tank, but formed a ricochet, and with a bang, the bullet flew out.

Although Lei Rui did not see the target of the projectile, he immediately sketched a simple line diagram in his mind, deducing that the enemy's 88mm anti-tank gun was in the direction of 12:30.

Without thinking, he shouted, "Don! The enemy's anti-tank guns were in the direction of half past twelve, at a distance of 1200 yards! ”

1,200 yards is equivalent to a distance of about 1,100 meters, and it is in the woods behind the MG42 machine gun position of the German army, which has just been bombarded by two shells.

Warhead Don. Collier and the other commanders immediately turned their binoculars and searched carefully in this direction, but after a while, Don shouted: "All tanks follow the head car and shoot, 12:30 in the direction, 1200 yards!" Fire! ”

The gunner saint immediately took aim and shouted, "On the way!" Fire! ”

The furious tank slammed down, the 76mm main gun fired, the shell pulled out a red trajectory, exploded in the woods in the target area, branches and dirt rose into the air, with this shell as a guide, indicating the direction of the target, other tanks opened fire one after another, Lei Rui looked through the narrow periscope, there was bombed into pieces, and I don't know which shell hit the target, the broken branches and dirt that were blown up, suddenly splashed sparks, and there was a cheer in the communication channel. Collier praised: "Well done! The target has been destroyed! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another roar, and a green trajectory flashed, which was another 88mm anti-tank gun fired, but the aim of this anti-tank gun was a little too large, and it flew out directly from the gap between the tanks and missed.

With so many eyes staring, no matter how well the enemy's 88mm anti-tank guns were concealed, as soon as the guns were fired, the direction was immediately exposed, and immediately someone indicated the location of the target.

Lei Rui deeply understands that the armored combat of tanks gathered in groups is like a wolf pack hunting, and coordination with each other is the most important, and specific to each tank, it is like a single wolf, the crew members of 5 people are the components of this wolf, the tank is the body of the wolf, the commander is the brain and eyes of the wolf, the gunner and loader are the sharp teeth of the wolf, the driver is the limbs of the wolf, and as for the co-pilot, it is equivalent to the wolf's self-defense instinct.

Only long-term running-in can sharpen out a deep friendship, as well as the tacit understanding of seamless cooperation, and give full play to the powerful combat effectiveness of the tank.

After the two anti-tank guns were destroyed, the anti-tank position with depth built by the Germans had been cut off with the sharpest claws, and the rest of the matter was decided. As soon as Collier gave the order, the large and small machine guns on the seven tanks began to fire wildly, and in the woods 1,000 meters away, even if the German anti-tank guns were still hidden, if they didn't fire at this time, there would be no chance to open the artillery.

Lei Rui was also controlling the 7.62mm machine gun to fire, but it was just a scene, as the tank rumbled forward, the machine gun positions built by the Germans in the beet field also opened fire, but the MG42 machine gun, which is infinitely powerful for the infantry, is completely a weapon like a burning stick in the face of the Sherman main battle tank, and it has no effect at all.

"Hey! Thunder! Watch out for the enemy's iron fist! The driver, Fat Gotrini, reminded.

Lei Rui agreed, of course he didn't let his guard down, Fat Gotrini still regarded him as a recruit, so he reminded him at the right time, don't patronize the enemy who can't be seen in the woods, ignore the German soldiers in ambush in the beet field, an iron fist rocket, such a close distance, can completely blast a Sherman main battle tank into a burning iron coffin!

Just as Lei Rui glanced left and right through the periscope, he suddenly stopped, locked on the German soldier who stood up from the trench in the field of vision in front of him, that guy was carrying an iron fist anti-tank rocket launcher on his shoulder, but in a hurry, he had not yet posed, let alone aimed.

This distance, which is already less than 50 meters, is not the best distance to launch an Iron Fist anti-tank rocket, but it is also threatening enough.

Warhead Don. Collier was on top of the tank, with a wide field of vision, and immediately issued a warning, and at the same time, the driver, Fat Gotrini, had already spotted the Iron Fist anti-tank bazooka on the shoulders of the German soldiers, and reminded loudly: "Iron Fist! Thunder! Shoot! ”

When he reminded him, the sudden gunfire had already sounded, and the rain of bullets fired from the 7.62mm machine gun controlled by Lei Rui landed on the trench 50 meters in front of him very accurately, and the two German soldiers who stood up were so pellit that their bodies fell backwards by the rain of bullets, and they couldn't stop shaking, and the iron-fisted anti-tank rocket launcher on their shoulders fell weakly, losing all threat.

"Ray! Good job! The driver, Fat Gotrini, turned to Lei Rui and said.

The tank was dimly lit, and Lei Rui could see the fat brother Trini frowning at him, and when he spoke, the two pinches of mustache on his upper lip curled up with his lips, which was very funny.

By the time the infantry behind the tank was put into battle, the German soldiers had no fighting spirit, some of them hid in the trenches and pretended to be dead, and some wanted to jump out of the trenches, turned around and fled, but before they could run two steps, they were hit by bullets from all directions, and they fell to the ground and could not move again.

This scene is very familiar, Lei Rui looked around vigilantly through the periscope, his field of vision was limited, and the machine gun firing range was also limited, so he couldn't grab the head of these infantry brothers, in fact, except for the two people he had just knocked down, the merit value had risen to 28 points, and he didn't get anything else.

Looking at this trend, staying in the tank and gaining merit points at a speed is still more difficult than that of infantry, and the danger is not reduced at all.

Don at the head of the war. Under Collier's order, the 7 tanks stopped, and the task of sweeping the battlefield was handed over to the infantry brothers of Company B, and the gunfire soon stopped, and they quickly swept the battlefield, confirming that there were two 88mm anti-tank guns destroyed by the German army in the woods, as well as German soldiers who were shot into a honeycomb.

There were no prisoners of war, all the German soldiers were killed in the battle, Lei Rui opened the hatch, leaned out, took a deep breath of fresh air, the smell of gunpowder smoke was very pungent, but it was much better than the smell in the tank, the smell was mixed with the smell, and the smell of sweat without taking a bath and changing clothes for a few days was simply sour.

The driver, Fat Gotrini, looked at Lei Rui with some sympathy and comforted him: "Don't worry, you will get used to it soon, but you are very good, you are not so bad that you are not smoked by the smell inside and vomit!" I remember when I first arrived, I was so smoked that I couldn't eat for a few days! ”
