81_81266 "Boom!" A German tank aimed at the advancing British Matilda in the distance, and opened heavy fire after a few seconds. The shells it fired flew directly at the target, burrowing a large black hole in the front of the turret of the British tank.

Then the Matilda tank slowly stopped its progress and burst into flames in the smoke. Just a second later, the driver of the tank jumped out of his tank as if he had been burned to the bottom, and ran behind without looking back.

There are also about 100 shells of all kinds in the burning tank, because the higher the temperature, it is impossible to say when it will explode, so as soon as the tank is penetrated, the members inside must immediately hurry up and flee for their lives, otherwise they are likely to be sent to heaven by the detonated ammunition.

Of course, in addition to ammunition, there are terrible gasoline engines, as well as fuel for gasoline engines. The fuel also explodes easily, so the entire tank, after being hit, is almost a huge bomb that can explode at any time.

Before the driver of the British tank could run too far, the tank that was hit was completely blown into parts by a huge explosion. The huge turret was swept into the sky by the air current, and landed in the open space more than ten meters away. And not far from this exploding tank, another American M3 tank did not seem to see the tragic image of its companion after being hit, and continued to rush forward quickly.

"Boom!" Not far from this M3 tank, a 75 mm cannon on the hull of an American M3LEE tank opened heavy fire, and the shell also hit the German tank not far away, and a poor self-propelled anti-tank gun modified from Tank 2 was hit by a shell and exploded like fireworks.

On a mound, a German G42 machine gun position suddenly opened fire, tracer bullets rushed into the crowd of the American * team in a straight line, and for a time blood and flesh flew everywhere, and more than a dozen American soldiers were immediately hit by bullets, and fell to the ground in pain and struggled and groaned.

However, after only a few seconds, this machine gun position was suppressed by American firepower, and the remaining American GIs opened fire fiercely, and twenty or thirty M1 Garand rifles fired at the same time, and the bullets also hit the German machine gun position impenetrable.

It was also the first time that the Germans found that they could not take advantage of the other side in terms of firepower, and in the past, they were on the position, and a machine gun position could often arrogantly finish the bullet chain and then move the position, and at this time, the American troops basically organized troops to counterattack as soon as the German machine guns fired.

A German soldier squatted in the trench with sophistication, pulled the safety of the grenade, waited two seconds and threw it out of the trench without looking. Then a huge explosion was heard, and even the raised sand hit his steel helmet.

He picked up his G43 rifle, stood up and aimed at the attacking American soldier, pressing the crosshair on one of the enemy soldiers facing him. "Bah!" he opened fire calmly, and the American soldiers on the opposite side fell backwards almost at the same time.

Without the slightest pause, the German soldier immediately turned his gun and pointed the black muzzle at someone else in the distance. "Phew!" the shot was fired cleanly, and another opponent was shot and fell.

A cloud of dust rose around him, and a bullet hit the ground not far from him, and the German soldier quickly crouched down, and just curled up his body to avoid the incoming bullets, he saw a comrade next to him who had been pierced through the chest by an enemy bullet and fell in pain in the trench.

"Someone has been hit!" the German soldier shouted, but before he could finish his voice, a grenade rolled into the trench. As soon as he turned around, he saw the grenade emitting green smoke, and scolded in his heart: "I'm xx, you're xx." ”

"Boom!" the grenade exploded, and a steel helmet was clasped in the gravel, and the white coconut tree symbol on it looked so vicissitudes. The Americans stormed the German position and saw a broken machine gun on the high ground, as well as the corpses of a dozen German soldiers.

And behind these American soldiers, probably nearly a hundred British and American soldiers can no longer stand up and fight for their homeland. Before these living American soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, gunshots rang out again in the distance, and a bullet flew from a distance, taking the life of another young American.

"Sniper!" I don't know who shouted, everyone was so frightened that they fell down, and there were dozens of American soldiers standing on the position just now, but now none of them could be seen. It was as if he had heard the order to lie down and was carried out without hesitation.

Next to the lying American soldiers, an M3LEE tank drove slowly, the guns on the turret spewing tongues of fire. And this M3 tank was followed by the second and third. The American armored forces combined with the artillery to attack fiercely, and the Germans were obviously helpless against this kind of fire suppression.

"Bang!" a puff of smoke suddenly rose from underneath the M3LEE tank at the front, and an anti-tank mine blew off its tracks and made the tank's heavy body tremble.

With the engine running non-stop, as the wheels kept turning, the tracks of this tank were immediately rolled in front of the tank, where they formed a hill. At about the same moment, a German iron-fisted anti-tank team attacked the big one, which had lost power, from the flank.

The rocket burrowed into the hull of the tank, destroying all the soldiers and equipment inside. However, the German anti-tank group was not able to escape, and the American soldiers around the tank opened heavy fire, and the two German soldiers were shot almost simultaneously and were riddled with holes.

Three or four Germans were carrying their weapons and tried to retreat back to the rear line, but their actions were discovered by the driver of the American tank, and the machine guns on the tank immediately roared, and the German soldiers were hit by bullets and fell halfway through the retreat, closing their eyes forever.

A German armored vehicle was destroyed and burst into flames, and more than a dozen American tanks continued to attack with great force, followed by American infantry and armored vehicles.

"Boom!" An American tank was destroyed by German artillery lying in ambush, and the huge impact force even made the tank change its direction in an instant. Eagle-eyed people soon discovered the hidden German cannon, an 88-mm anti-aircraft gun deployed nearby for air defense.

This kind of cannon can not only be used against the air, but also a sharp weapon against tanks, so when it was learned that the American tanks were coming, this cannon did not rush to retreat, but let the nearby German troops arrange a circular defensive position to cover themselves to destroy as many American tanks as possible.

Although the 88 mm cannon was discovered, the American tanks found that there was still no good way to take this target. The Germans opened fire easily at a distance of 1,300 meters, while American tanks apparently did not have the same accuracy as German anti-aircraft guns at a distance of 1,300 meters.

With a whistling, the Germans fired a second shell, although this shell did not hit the tank in the front, it grazed the turret of a tank and directly hit an armored car in the back, and the powerful force destroyed the engine compartment of the entire armored car in the front, and even destroyed the wheelhouse and troop compartment in the back.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Silence seemed not the solution, and the American forces immediately began to return fire, taking advantage of the number of tanks, which opened fire 1,300 meters away, blowing up the German 88-mm anti-aircraft gun positions into a cloud of smoke.

"Boom!" the Germans fired their third shell, accurately hitting the second American tank at a distance of more than 1,200 meters, the shell tore the tank's armor as easily as a red-hot knife cutting into butter, and soon the second American tank burned and burst into flames, making a tragic explosion.

However, the good fortune of the German army seemed to run out with this shell, and soon with the call of the American army, artillery support more timely than air support patronized the German position, and more than a dozen large-caliber shells fell near the German 88-mm gun, which posed a serious threat to the American army, and the cannon immediately fell silent.

As the 88 mm cannon stopped firing, the American tanks, having lost their suppression, immediately launched a charge on the German positions, and the Germans, without the support of heavy anti-tank weapons, began to retreat, giving up some unimportant defensive positions. More than a dozen German troops were hit by the oncoming American tanks, and most of them retreated towards the area behind, and the Americans captured the German-held area.

Seeing the battle going on, Patton's brows became more and more furrowed, he didn't think that the strength of the German army was only so much, and the main reason for the current weakness was that almost half of the armor on the front of the German army was missing. And for him, this is not good news.

Pumping forces is nothing more than two options, the first is to prepare for a counterattack, and the second is that these forces are no longer nearby. Regardless of which of these two pieces of news is true, the situation of the Anglo-American 8th Army is now very bad.

"Send a reconnaissance force south, remove the M4 Sherman tank from the frontal battlefield, I think Rommel will attack on our flank. In the end, Patton chose a relatively steady style of play, in which he had to defend his flanks with his best troops against a possible German attack.

"General, is this necessary?" the chief of staff looked at his commander in confusion.

"I think it's necessary!" Rommel used two flank detours, and he didn't think I would have guessed that he would use a third, so I guess he'd do it again this time!" Barton said with his eyes narrowed and affirmed
