The head of the battle, Don, Collier is experienced, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that this was the German 105mm field howitzer shelling! This is the first shot, just a primer, and soon there will be an overwhelming number of shells falling and covering the whole town!

Lei Rui reacted quickly and shouted directly to Anna and Marina: "German artillery fire, go downstairs and go to the central square outside!" ”

At this time, he didn't have time to explain to them, and if he delayed a little longer, this place would be hit by artillery fire, and then Anna and Marina would fall in pools of blood and rubble, such a scene was not what he wanted to see.

Before the two of them could react, Tang. Collier had already rushed to the door and was about to open the door, but Lei Rui didn't say a word, directly carried the Thomson submachine gun, grabbed a person's hand with one hand, and dragged the two of them directly to the door, completely ignoring their resistance.

It wasn't until I went downstairs and rushed out into the small square outside that the shells had exploded all over the town, and the whining and screaming sound was heard in the rumbling of firecrackers, which was the cannonball flying faster than the speed of sound, and it exploded on the ground first, and then the whining and screaming of the cannonball's flight followed.

Bang!

A cannonball hit the second floor, fragments flew sideways, Lei Rui and the others were busy holding their heads and hiding beside the furious tank, only to hear the brick and stone fragments falling on the tank, making a ping-pong sound.

When the dust cleared, Lei Rui looked up and saw that it was the next door to Marina's house that was hit by the shells, half of the wall collapsed, and the people hiding inside were of course all spared.

"Get on the tank!" Warhead Don. Collier shouted, "We've got to go kill them!" Fast! Fast! ”

This was clearly a German artillery preparation, and then it was time for the Germans to attack, perhaps the Germans wanted to retake the town and use it as a base from which to gather troops and attack the flanks of the large forces that were attacking Cherbourg.

The driver, Fat Gothrini, had already launched the Fury Tank, and Anna and Marina were still clutching at his clothes, pale and overwhelmed. Lei Rui shouted loudly in the ears of the two of them: "Just hide here, wait for the shelling to stop, and then go back!" Live well! This war will soon be over! ”

He struggled to break free from them and jumped into the tank. The troops who were going to spend the night in the town were awakened by the sudden artillery fire, and there must have been an artillery position of the German army nearby, otherwise they would not have been subjected to such a heavy shelling so quickly.

The Butan mixed formation rushed out of the town in a panic, the shelling behind him continued, Lei Rui was still sitting on the base of the tank, looking at the town ravaged by artillery fire. Collier reached out and patted his helmet and said loudly, "Hey! Thunder! Cheer up, they'll be fine! ”

The infantry of Company B had not yet caught up so quickly, and the seven tanks took the lead, ready to finish off this German artillery position.

It was still early in the morning, the sun was hanging in the western sky, and it was as high as a pole, and Lei Rui didn't take a deep breath and get up until the town was already far away.

The tank was moving at high speed, and he couldn't get back into the passenger seat, so he simply acted as a shooter for the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun on the roof. Outside the tank, the view is much better, surrounded by flat fields dotted with groves of groves.

Lei Rui pointed to the grove 1,500 yards away on the right, and shouted at the head of the battle. Collier said, "Don! That grove, it seems that something is wrong! ”

He could see that something was wrong, there was a little more twilight smoke compared to the other groves, it looked like twilight, but maybe not?!

Warhead Don. As soon as Collier turned the telescope in that direction, two green rays of light flashed, one of which swept the butt of the tank in the middle and flew over, but in the end, the tank was not so lucky, and the green light hit directly, and with a bang, the turret flew into the sky, and the entire tank was directly blown up.

"Two Tiger tanks! 3 o'clock, 1500 yards! Damn it! "Don. Collier shouted.

Everyone's hearts were chuckling!

For the Allied armored troops, the biggest nightmare on the battlefield was the German Tiger tank! This kind of big guy, with thick armor, the 76mm main gun of the Sherman main battle tank, unless it is fired at the back of the Tiger tank at close range, it will not be able to break through the armor of the Tiger tank at all!

However, the 88mm main gun of the Tiger tank, from any direction, as long as the angle of penetration is not too off, only one shot is needed to pierce the Sherman!

The two Tiger tanks just now fired their guns from 1,500 yards away, and one hit directly blew up a Sherman main battle tank!

But the remaining 6 tanks can't turn around and run, it is obvious that the two Tiger tanks of the German army are waiting here, once the Allied tanks are defeated, the infantry behind them will follow, and B Company can be completely defeated!

At this time, it was too late to call for air support, and the 6 tanks turned directly to the right and met them. Six white phosphorus smoke bombs exploded one after another, enveloping the entire grove.

It will take another 15 minutes for air support to arrive, which means that as long as the six tanks hold the two Tiger tanks here for 15 minutes, they can take out the Tiger tanks under the powerful fire of the Mustang in the air.

But the question is, 6 against 2, can it last through these 15 minutes?

In the Don. Under Collier's order, 6 tanks lined up in a row, with a brave attitude, to seize the advantageous terrain, at this time, no one cared that Lei Rui was actually outside the tank, not in the passenger seat.

The long 88mm main gun of the Tiger tank pierced through the smoke, revealing a hideous true face, Lei Rui was holding a 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun, and his heart was also very nervous, but in fact, from the body of the head Don Collier, Lei Rui could understand everyone's feelings, nervousness, and even a trace of despair!

On the top of the tank, Lei Rui's field of vision is very broad, and the two Tiger tanks are also lined up in a horizontal line,-for-tat, murderous, he can see very clearly, the commander of the Tiger tank is also showing a small half of his body on the top of the tank, observing the surroundings with a telescope.

The distance between the two armies was rapidly approaching, and the turret of the Tiger tank was slowly rotating. Collier gave the order to be the first to fire, and the 6 tanks roared almost at the same time, but unfortunately the shells that hit directly bounced off the armor of the Tiger tank, and did not cause an effective blow at all!

All of them!

At this moment, Lei Rui controlled the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun on the roof of the Fury Tank, aimed at the roof of the Tiger Tank, and opened fire.
