Chapter 621, African War Situation 16,

"Even, God! Help us! Naturally, everything that happened in front of him was clearly visible, and the tank commander was also frightened, and hurriedly drove the Sherman tank into the desert and fled. At the same time, other nearby Sherman tanks and M3 medium tanks also had to run away, and after a long day of fighting, only three No. 4 tanks were killed, but more than ten tanks were killed on their side.

However, this strong disparity in battle loss ratio was not the most frightening to them, but their despair to find that the main gun on their side hit the Tiger tank was not much different from tickling. Not to mention the Sherman tank, in addition to not being able to compete with the Tiger tank, but I have to say that it is actually a very successful tank, and the M3 medium tank is a bit strange. In fact, the birth of the M3 medium tank was quite dramatic, because it was actually born together with the M4 medium tank.

At that time, the United States saw that German tanks in Poland in 1939 were almost frightened into a cold sweat, and then looked back at their own tanks, and found that they were all waste, and there was no one who could fight, and the Americans had no choice but to develop new tanks. However, the research and development of the M4 medium tank was blocked, but the development progress of the M3 medium tank of the multi-turret god cult was relatively smooth, so the M3 medium tank entered service first, and began mass production and equipment in 1941, and carried it for sale.

The first major overseas order for the M3 medium tank was from Britain across the ocean, and the British Army had almost lost all of its equipment after the defeat of the French campaign. So, in 1940, they ordered 1,200 M3 medium tanks for use. But when Britain received the M3 medium tank from the United States at the end of 1941, the multi-turret medium tank in front of him, which was equipped with both 37 mm tank guns and 75 mm tank guns, almost fainted without breathing.

Britain abandoned the idea of multi-turret many years earlier, and now how can anyone know how to command such a multi-turret tank? The lethality of the 37mm tank gun is very insufficient, and it can also bully the German No. 2 light tank and the 38T light tank. The 75-mm tank gun was capable of beating the German medium tanks No. 3 and No. 4.

However, the 75mm tank gun used the hapless periscope scope, which in North Africa was illuminated by the harsh sunlight, causing the gunners to be unable to open their eyes. In desperation, the British gunners could only practice the ability to use the barrel for aiming. On top of that, the British Panzers discovered an even more maddening reality, and that was that the armor of the M3 medium tank could only be described as brittle as papyrus.

Although the front is up to 51 mm thick, and the other three sides are up to 38 mm thick, the thickness of the armor can only be described as fragile because it is riveted armor. Once attacked by a German medium tank, even if the tank itself is not broken, the rivets will fly around the hull, directly beating the seven crew members into a sieve.

If you add to this the towering shape of this tank, then the chances of being spotted and killed by the Germans are even higher. It is precisely because of the extreme unreliability of the M3 medium tank that I don't know how many British armored soldiers died on the battlefield, and the British armored troops called the M3 medium tank the 'coffin of the seven brothers'. Well, it's like scratching an itch after fighting here for a long time, and on the other hand, people are completely a child, so don't be too cruel.

Thanks to the fact that the German Tiger tank was officially put into service not long ago, coupled with the high cost and difficult transportation, the amount of equipment on the North African battlefield was far insufficient, and the main battle tank was still dominated by the No. 4 tank. Otherwise, their group of children would have been wiped out a long time ago. Seeing that their side could not win the battle at all, and that they could only stay as live targets, the British and American tank soldiers were not fools, and they did not know that "36 plans are the best plan", so they smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled frantically.

For a while, nearly 20 tanks rushed left and right like crazy, and began to frantically flee along the S line, and the picture was really not too beautiful. However, it is not so easy to escape. Although the Sherman and M3 medium tanks can move much faster than the Tiger tank, which has a maximum off-road speed of 21 km/h. But no matter how fast they run, they can't outrun the speed of other people's shells.

The German tank soldiers naturally did not let go of these big fat meats, and immediately turned on the pursuit mode, constantly blazing at the enemy tanks that were frantically fleeing.

At the same time, the No. 4 tank, which had been playing auxiliary just now, would not be idle, and they also followed the hard pursuit. Boom, boom, boom, shells kept rushing out of the barrels, shells blasted out without money, and kept taking away the fleeing Sherman tanks and M3 medium tanks. Of course, there are exceptions, after all, in addition to hand speed operation, the moving target that takes the S route has to rely on prediction!

For example, Johnson's Sherman tank was lucky enough to dodge the fatal blow, narrowly brushing shoulders with death, and a tank gun grazed the hull armor, causing a piercing metal grinding sound. "Oh God, that's crazy! Quick, run! ”

Johnson was so frightened that he almost didn't pee his pants, this calf thing was so scary, he had to be reimbursed for losing a carload of people in such a short way. "I'll it! The German Tiger tank is really fierce! Brothers, don't underestimate the enemy, aim at me and hit me hard, and see if they are powerful in the tiger style, or ours in the tiger style! ”

Looking at the Allied tank group running wildly in front of him, Duan Anguo couldn't calm down, this girl is simply the rhythm of unilateral slaughter of tigers into the flock! Seeing this, Duan Anguo didn't dare to hold it up, and took advantage of the opportunity for friendly troops to attract firepower, and quickly calibrated the muzzle of the gun and quickly locked on to an attack target: a No. 4 tank 2 kilometers ahead. There's no way who told you to run fast and chase after him, although this thing is not a big threat to himself, but he can't watch him chase and kill his teammates.

"Boom!" Almost with a knife in his hand, and the violent sound of artillery in his ears had not yet dispersed, Duan Anguo saw that he was killing with one blow again and directly blasting the No. 4 tank that rushed to the front! After an explosion, a series of explosions occurred in the German No. 4 tank, which had been alive and well before, and then a raging fire rose and billowing smoke.

Boom! The brother tanks around Duan Anguo were also not slow, firing one after another, and all the No. 4 tanks in pursuit were wiped out in one fell swoop, and three of them were still hit by two yuan, and they were bombed to pieces! However, at this moment, the German Tiger tanks in the distance took advantage of this opportunity to take the lead and rushed to the Tiger tank units that came to relieve the siege and opened fire.

"Not good!" "Everyone, be careful!" "Get out of the way!" Although it is said that the first wave of output of Duan Anguo and others was concentrated in the German No. 4 tank at the front, and took them away in a wave. But it is not surprising that Duan Anguo and others took the five German Tiger tanks in the distance as air, and have been watching their movements.

Sure enough, a few clusters of red light flashed in the distance, and Duan Anguo and the others knew that it was the German Tiger tank firing. Although it is three or four kilometers away, the other party is a Tiger tank of the same model as himself, and he uses a famous 88mm main gun, Duan Anguo and others naturally know how powerful it is, how to calm down. Regardless of whether these five Tiger tanks are coming at them or not, they must actively respond and save themselves.

As a result, the drivers of the tank unit of the Tiger Army began to adjust the position of the hull as quickly as possible, even if they could not completely avoid this round of shelling, they must also hard-connect the front part of the most iron, and must not expose the weak flank armor to the enemy's tank main gun range. As soon as the tanks were in the right position, shocking explosions sounded in everyone's ears one after another.

After a closer look, this time there were five kills, two Sherman tanks and three M3 medium tanks were directly pierced through the buttocks, and turned into a pile of burning scrap metal in a violent explosion, and then I saw more than a dozen tank crews covered in fire come out of the tank, wailing in pain while rolling on the ground.

Although these reckless Allied tanks ran fast, they exposed their weakly armored butts, so that although they were far away from the German Tiger tanks, they were still taken away by a cannon without any suspense. "Even-bought karma!" "How can these damn Germans fight so accurately!" "Shet!"

Johnson and other British and American tank soldiers were frightened again, these Tiger tanks were so fierce and fierce that they and others escaped from a distance of two or three kilometers, but they still couldn't escape from their clutches. "Rush up and cover the Allied retreat!" Seeing that the Allied tanks were on the verge of life and death, Duan Anguo couldn't help but click on the public communication channel and roared loudly. "Understood! Roger that! "Quick! Fast! Fast! Hit me with aim! "Brothers, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, and then it's up to us!" "Five-on-five, just one for each of us!"

The commanders of the tanks responded loudly, and then shouted and commanded their subordinates to officially cut into the battlefield as quickly as possible, aiming at the German Tiger tanks while covering the retreat of the Allied tanks. It was a false alarm just now, but now it's time to fight for bayonets. Although the enemy has been known for a long time and is extremely powerful, the tank soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army's tank commando team did not feel fear and panic because of this, but all broke out with monstrous war intent.

Boom, and soon after driving in the direction of rapid speed, the Tiger Army tank commandos passed by the Allied tank group that fled for their lives. At this time, the attacking force composed of more than 30 Allied tanks was now left with only 12 of them, and the loss rate reached more than 60%. "Ah, the Huaxia tank force is here to support us!" "They're crazy to go and duel with those demons?"

"Oh my God, what are they going to do? To send to death? "Don't talk nonsense, let's run for our lives!" "God, bless this brave and ignorant warrior!" "Quick, keep rushing forward, turn behind that mountain, and we'll be safe!" At the moment when they staggered by, they saw five Chinese tanks rushing towards them in an invincible manner, and the British and American tank crews instantly became extremely complicated, with excitement and emotion, as well as shock and deep worry.

It stands to reason that they should have the courage to turn back and fight side by side with the Tiger Army tanks, destroy the enemy tanks that caused them heavy casualties, avenge the dead comrades, and fight for the honor of the soldiers. But obviously, they were already frightened at the moment, and they didn't dare to dig back at all, even if they knew that they would run faster and die faster, they wouldn't stop because of this.

In particular, when I saw that there were only five Huaxia tanks that came to the rescue, it seemed that they were not here to save people and kill the enemy at all, but to send people to their heads for thousands of miles. They can't even afford to stop, even if it's just to look back! There's no way, it's not so easy to regain courage and confidence after being scared!

Coming and going, the Allied tanks drove away without stopping, leaving only the billowing smoke from behind their butts, and in a short time they disappeared behind a small high ground. "Fire!" "Give me death!" "Germans, let's fight it out today!" At this time, the Tiger tank units, which had completely faced the German Tiger tanks, finally showed their fangs one after another, and fired the first shot against the German Tiger tank group during the march.

As for the Allied soldiers who were still struggling in the flames and rolling on the ground, they could not care about saving people now, but let them ask for more blessings. At this time, destroying the enemy is the first priority, otherwise they will all die! Boom, boom, five flashes of red light, 88mm PzG

.40 armor-piercing shells rushed out of the barrel one after another.

Just a few seconds later, Duan Anguo and the others clearly saw that the front armor of the German Tiger tank on the opposite side had been hit by a bullet, and a dazzling fire exploded. But to their disappointment, the German tanks quickly moved again after a slight stagnation, and the barrels of the black holes were pointed at their side. Obviously, although the wave of concentrated fire just now hit the target, it did not hit the vital point, and the five German Tiger tanks in front of them were not only not destroyed, but even their mobility was not reduced much.

The frontal armor of the Tiger tank is very thick, but there are also many weak points in the armor, such as the frontal underhead, the driver's observation port, the commander's observation port, the driver's observation port, the track, and other parts are all weak points! It's just that it's not so easy to hit these weak points directly at long distance. "Hurry, hurry! If you continue to bombard me, Lao Tzu won't believe it, and they won't be able to beat the iron! ”

"Brothers, keep it up! If we win, we are heroes, if we can't win, we will not only be bears, but also be put into urns! "Kill!" After a failed blow but saw the main gun of the German Tiger tank aiming at him, Duan Anguo and the others all felt the fierce killing machine and the shadow of death, and at this time they were still lying to the ghost if they were not afraid. But what's the use of just being afraid, will the enemy leave people under his sword and kill without shelling?

No move, I don't kill people, people will kill me, at this moment I can only fight to the death to see who will be blown up first! As soon as the loaders filled the armor-piercing shells, red lights flashed in front of them, and this time it was the turn of the German Tiger tanks to take the lead. "Grass you ancestor!" "Give me death!" "Fight!" Without the slightest hesitation, and not caring whether this wave would be taken away directly, Duan Anguo and other tank gun commanders gritted their teeth and pressed the fire control switch, even if they died, they had to pull a cushion.

Boom, boom, almost the moment the fire control switch was pressed, Jiang Qiang's Tiger tank was hit by an armor-piercing shell one after another. "Hold the grass!" "Ahh An incomparably strong shock wave came, and Duan Anguo and the others were shocked, staggering, and their brains were buzzing.

I have to say that the power of this cannon is very strong, which makes people feel uneasy. Fortunately, it was the thick nose armor that hit, not the weak links, otherwise it would have been enough for them to drink a pot. "Quick, report the damage! Reload your ammo, fast! Duan Anguo gritted his teeth, this cannon is really a bit dangerous, if it weren't for the distance, I'm afraid that even if it was his own rough skin and thick meat, he wouldn't be able to bear such a hard deal.

"Report to the group! Maneuverability was good, no fatal injuries were found. "Good! Push forward and fight the Germans! Hearing that the car body is fine, Duan Anguo's heart is a little relieved, in this chaotic battlefield, if he loses his ability to act, it is equivalent to losing half his life.

Boom, as the Tiger tank engine spun more and more happily as it moved forward, puffs of smoke erupted from behind its buttocks. Duan Anguo quickly turned the barrel of the gun and aimed at a German Tiger tank that was slowly advancing, and then pressed the fire control switch again to open fire. Encountering the brave on a narrow road is not a joke, at this time, in addition to being tough and tough, any reckless escape will only be self-destruction.

The other four tanks were lucky to have nothing to do after withstanding a hard shot, but they were smashed out of a deep crater, and their frontal defense dropped a lot, but their combat effectiveness was still there. Oh my God, how is this possible? They were able to hold off the main guns of our tanks! "Ah, everyone be careful, we should have encountered the Huaxia heavy tank mentioned in the intelligence!" "The performance of these tanks should be very similar to our No. 6 tank, with heavy armor and strong firepower."

The German Tiger tank didn't seem to expect that the other party would be so iron-headed, and after taking a hard shot, not only did it not do anything, but it did not retreat but rushed to kill itself. The German tank crews were a little confused, this was the first time they had encountered this situation, and all the Allied tanks had not been able to withstand their frontal attack before, let alone not have nothing like this.

"Don't be in a daze! Quick, shoot them now! "Quick, we can't let them fire first!" However, these well-trained German tank crews were not frightened, they were just stunned, and then they got busy again. After a while, the two sides started to hurt each other almost at the same time.

Bang boom, the armor-piercing shells fired by both sides hit the front of the opposing tank without any suspense, and this round of firing was not as simple as before. Two of the German Tiger tanks were heavily damaged and incapacitated, while one of the Burmese forces was turned into a fixed rotating battery by chance chain.

In the final analysis, where did Jiang Qiang buy the Tiger tank production line from Shanghai, and it has also been optimized and improved to a certain extent, and the Tiger tank manufactured by Seiko through strict quality management is always slightly better. "Brothers, it's all right, hold on, keep firing, be sure to kill them!" There was another violent shaking and vibration, and Duan Anguo hit the car body even harder, making him grin in pain for a while.

From the huge power of this cannon, Duan Anguo had clearly felt the breath of death, and knew very well in his heart that if he was hit by another cannonball, he might only end up with death or cripple. Theoretically, as long as the shells hit the same position continuously, then the damage can definitely overlap, and no matter how strong and thick the armor is, it can be pierced. Although it is not easy to achieve such accurate bombardment in practice, under the continuous shelling, the armor defense will definitely continue to decline!

On the verge of life and death, Duan Anguo suddenly entered a state of selfless emptiness, calibrated the gun barrel with extremely fast hand speed, and then suddenly pressed the fire control switch at the Tiger tank opposite. "Even-bought karma!" After two consecutive shots, the front armor of the German Tiger tank was seriously damaged, and the tank crew was also shocked.

"Shet! Falk Oil! The German tank gun commander knew that he only had one last chance to strike, so he pressed the fire control switch in the flash of light, and at this time he really didn't have the time to do accurate aiming! Boom, as soon as the German Tiger tank fired a shell, Duan Anguo's armor-piercing shell hit the front armor of the tank again. The hard work paid off, and this time the ghost sent a god to hit the crater left before.

After the two damage were combined, the armor-piercing shell pierced the German Tiger tank without any suspense, and then detonated the internal ammunition, causing a series of explosions. In an instant, I saw that the tank was suddenly burning with raging flames, billowing black smoke coming out, and the crew members inside had already been wiped out in the next wave of explosions, and they had not escaped from the ascension to heaven at all.

And the shot fired by this tank gun commander in front of the temporary, the angle was so bad that it just scared Duan Anguo and the others into a cold sweat. At the same time, another duel between the other tanks also had a result, and two more German Tiger tanks were destroyed and ignited a raging fire, and several German tank crews covered in fire had to get out of the tanks and roll on the ground.

And the Burmese army also paid a heavy price, a tank was destroyed and ignited a raging fire, the three surviving tank soldiers could only get out of the compartment to escape, the tank whose chain was destroyed before, this time it was hard to withstand the shelling, but it also completely lost its combat effectiveness, and the battery could not rotate. As for the other two tanks, they not only narrowly escaped the catastrophe, but also completed the counter-kill, destroying the German Tiger tank against the enemy in one fell swoop, and it was a beautiful victory in a dangerous situation. At this moment, three against two, there is no suspense about the victory in this tank battle.

However, the battle is not completely over. The remaining two Tiger tanks did not pause for a moment, the loader quickly completed the ammunition loading, and the gun commander quickly turned the barrel to lock on to the new target, and then the red light flashed and opened fire! Duan Anguo and the others naturally couldn't be stupid in order to save ammunition, wait for a while to see the effect, and after the first shot, they hung the barrel without stopping, and put the crosshair on the other two German Tiger tanks that were obviously still effective.

"Give me death!" "Kill!" "Damn, I don't believe I can't kill you!" Duan Anguo and the others were all red-eyed, gritted their teeth and pressed the fire control switch, either you die or I die, fight, Lao Tzu fights with you!
