Soon, the fatal blow arrived as expected! The sudden fireball rising from the trees heralded the opening of the opponent's main gun. Before the sound could be heard, the high-speed projectiles had already hit the first wave of attacks.

On the tank, a ball of flames and violent explosions instantly struck the American tank attack team.

The formation spread, and in less than a minute, the Americans, who were lucky enough to escape, suddenly found that the formation of the first wave of tanks rushing in front had been directly dented! A dozen tanks were flying in a short distance.

They were wiped out in a matter of tens of seconds. The opponent's armored units were killed in one attack, nearly one-eighth of them!

"Damn, they destroyed us 1,500 meters away! These devils!" A US soldier cried loudly on the channel. This caused a deep fear in the hearts of all US soldiers! Germany

The attack distance of a person is far beyond the normal distance. As for

Whether it really hit the target 1,500 meters away is uncertain, but almost all Americans are sure that the opponent's attack distance is 1,000 meters away! At this distance, the opponent's artillery destroying one's own tank is like using a can knife to open a can.

Generally easy!

But at this time, they had no way out. The tanks behind them bypassed the destroyed friendly forces and continued to charge. The final distance was only a little over 1,000 meters. They only needed to run a few hundred meters more to bring the opponent within attack range!

A loader removes a precious tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet from the

It was taken out from the magazine and loaded into the gun bore. On average, a tank did not even have 3 rounds of tungsten alloy armor-piercing ammunition. These ammunition were quite precious, but the commander did not blame the gunner and loader for their choice. Because he knew that this time

It's a tough encounter. I'm afraid I won't have more than three chances to fire!

The German attacks were as continuous as a storm, and the high rate of fire of the 88mm artillery was fully demonstrated at this moment. Thanks to the strong German loader and the large internal space of the car body, the Tiger that performed best among them

Mode

The tank actually fired 8 shells in one minute! Of course. After one round, the Tiger tank had to reduce its rate of fire. The temperature of the barrel of the gun rose sharply due to the violent shooting! The last few hundred

It is said to be easy, but in the most difficult

The last distance was completely paved with blood by the Americans! The roar of more than a dozen 88mm artillery blasted each tank to pieces. "There were almost no survivors in all the destroyed tanks. The power of the opponent's shells

Extremely large, the after-effects are also

Very good, 40% of the tanks had their fuel tanks or ammunition racks exploded, and 30% of the tanks had their turrets blown off. The remaining tanks were also completely destroyed, and perished with the crew inside!" A survivor

An American tanker recalled this.

"570 meters! High-speed armor-piercing projectile fire!" Finally, an American tank numbered 571 rushed into the shooting range. The gunner used the index plate of the sight to kill a Tiger tank hidden in the shadow of the woods.

Lock it in the center of the gap in the sight, and determine the target distance through the ruler above and the height of the known opponent's tank! "570 meters! Even if you are a solid iron

The bastard can also penetrate it!" the gunner said in his heart. The ratio of the Sherman tank equipped with the M3 76mm gun to the tank equipped with the short-barreled 75mm gun is 1:2. This tank is used as a tank killer.

character, and in order to ensure a one-hit kill, he specifically chose a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet! This thing is a shell that can destroy all parts of the No. 4 tank at a distance of 900 meters!

"Fire!" A ball of orange fire flew out from the slender muzzle. In less than a second, a ball of flame burst out from the front armor plate of the Tiger tank.

"We are under attack! Karl, search for the target! Let's move back and turn the turret!" The No. 121 Tiger tank shook violently, causing the commander's head to hit the front armor plate. The huge Tiger tank

The tank was as angry as a disturbed tiger, and its thick turret began to turn in the direction of the attack. It was like a tiger looking for anyone who dared to despise itself!

"We can't see it!" With a thud, another shell hit the Tiger tank, this time on the front of the turret. Along with the sound of the warhead shattering, Karl's words were drowned in the harsh impact of the shell.

!

"Look for it quickly! I guarantee that the opponent is very close to us!" the commander urged loudly while searching for the opponent in the control tower. Maybe the Americans hid it too well. Maybe it was the commander's bad luck.

Before the target was found, another shell came over! This one must have been bounced away.

"I found him, commander. 2 o'clock direction, 700 meters!" Karl's words rang out again.

"No, not there! The attack just now was not in this position!" the commander objected, but even so he decided to destroy this new target first. The Tiger tank's turret quickly turned to the target driven by the electric motor, and along with the artillery

Inspired by this, this miserable intruder was directly cut into pieces by five horses! After solving this unlucky guy, Tiger No. 121 continued to look for the guy who dared to disturb Tai Sui! "As long as any guy dares to fire another shot! I

You can spot him!" The commander, who had been hit three times, was very unhappy, but what disappointed him was that in the end he couldn't wait for the fourth shot! When they discovered Tank No. 571 from behind a pile of rubble,

, the commander saw the open hatch through the telescope! Needless to say, the driver inside was frightened! The tank had already run away before it was destroyed! "Coward!" Carl spat out these words between his teeth.

words, and then restore the target to the state of parts with one shot.

"I saw it, that guy is a dinosaur! It's terrible, it's terrible." David, the gunner of the No. 571 tank, took out a bar of chocolate from his pocket and tore it open tremblingly.

, this guy from Virginia has one characteristic, that is, every

When he is nervous or scared, he will have an amazing appetite. Whether he is facing his mother-in-law or his enemy, no matter how terrifying the scene is, he will not be able to affect his desire for food, especially chocolate. After chewing a piece of full-fat chocolate,

This guy can finally talk coherently!

"The front of the German tank is almost invulnerable. I fired three shots. The first shot hit the upper part of the front. It didn't penetrate. The second shot hit the gun mantlet. It just left a dent. The third shot hit

It hit the side of the turret. But it bounced away due to the angle. I used tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets for these three rounds. There will be no more powerful anti-armor weapons in the entire First Marine Division! We can't fight at all.

Break them! The

Damn the army, damn arms dealers, damn officers! What kind of rags did they give us!" Little David was still very serious about his business. He hid behind a broken tank and walked towards the car that escaped next to him.

The commander said, and the commander carefully recorded the data he said. "Don't tell others, we will go back after the battle is over. This is important military information." After the commander finished speaking, he patted David's face.

Shoulder said.

Sometimes the truth itself is a powerful weapon. After all, if the Americans know that their tanks cannot penetrate the target even with the strongest tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles at a distance of 500 meters, then morale will definitely drop a lot.

This impact cannot be described with data, but it does not mean that it is not terrifying. During this period

, the armored counterattack of the 1st Marine Division was defeated at the last moment! An armored battalion, three-digit tanks and tank destroyers were easily killed by the opponent in just ten minutes. More than 60

Vehicle! Such a huge loss not only put the frontline troops on the verge of collapse, but even the frontline commanders believed that the fight could no longer continue.

Looking at the burning Sherman tanks on the battlefield and the looming Tiger tanks in the woods in the distance, the U.S. commander responsible for directing the operation could only order all the tanks to release smoke grenades. The artillery in the rear covered the evacuation of the remaining troops. Maybe God is merciful

This group of American troops who had been beaten and lost their souls,

The wind direction at this time was suddenly suitable for the use of smoke grenades, but at this time the remaining American armored units really did not dare to continue the fight. It was not that they had no chance to fire. It was that firing was useless. Accompanied by the rumbling sound of artillery and the thick smoke screen

, the U.S. Army, savoring the taste of defeat, withdrew to the rear.

However, the 502nd Heavy Tank Battalion did not continue the pursuit. These ferocious tigers quickly retracted their claws after the first blow, and then began to look for a safe place to rest and replenish like tigers that had just finished hunting. Becker middle

There are two reasons why the colonel did not continue the attack. The first point is that in the battle just now, his troops consumed a lot of ammunition. On average, each tank fired nearly half of the ammunition. If the tiger on this plane

tank compared to the largest in history

If there is a problem, it is its ammunition capacity. It can hold up to 78 rounds of artillery shells. Compared with the historical Tiger's 90-round artillery shells, which can hold up to 120 rounds of ammunition, this amount is really far behind.

There is no way, the cannon becomes heavier

The armor has become heavier and the shells have become longer, so the amount of ammunition will naturally decrease a lot. Therefore, the 502 Heavy Tank Battalion has a special ammunition supply vehicle to transport ammunition. Although the Tiger is fierce, its endurance is slightly lacking.

It's time for them to eat now!

Another reason is that although the U.S. military in front of them was defeated, judging from the size and intelligence, this should be a division-level unit. It is one thing to beat up the opponent in an ambush. Rush up and fight with the opponent.

Just a head-on encounter is another matter, although from the current point of view, all Tiger tank crews are

I have full confidence in my tanks and artillery, but this is for frontal defense. Who can say that I will be fine from the side? Moreover, hitting the tracks or road wheels can also cause the tank to be injured or even paralyzed. I have already made a profit.

There is no need to jump directly into the quagmire! So Lieutenant Colonel Becker decisively chose to give up as soon as possible.

But it is a pity that the ruthless Americans who were beaten with a sap were obviously unwilling to let go. Especially when Major General Turner rushed to the battlefield, he saw the scene on his side that could be called a slaughterhouse, and then compared it.

Looking at the position where the German troops had withdrawn, he was surprised to find that in the firefight just now, the Germans did not lose a single tank! The famous 1st Marine Division of the United States Marine Corps is known as the most powerful unit of the 1st Marine Corps Division.

armored battalion

The final result was that he ran up and gave the opponent more than 60 heads! Then he "sent off" the opponent to leave! This huge gap and record-breaking exchange was unbearable to anyone! Major General Turner's face

We are all suffocated! "Let's put down the loss list first and tell that guy Patton that the Germans sent an armored brigade into our rear! There are new German tanks among them. They are very powerful. Let him be careful.

." Turner thought for a while and said.

This is not that Turner deliberately lied about the military situation. After all, the German army that severely damaged his reinforced heavy equipment battalion in a snap was definitely not a small force. What was even more frightening was that it did not even destroy an enemy tank. How could such an opponent tell the truth?

They are all right! After all, Turner does not have a one-way transparent golden finger on the battlefield. Of course, Turner will not click on the telegram.

One of his own troops had their heads shaved, and he just said that the opponent was quite strong, and that he had suffered heavy losses, and the results of the losses were being counted. And it was precisely because of this somewhat vague statement at the end that Patton had the idea of ​​​​competing one another! It was also because of

This telegram kicked off the first large-scale offensive between the United States and Germany in World War II!

"I've said before that those guys who take more time by boat than by car are absolutely useless! Damn it, the superiors actually arranged for these guys to come over for me!" Barton jumped up from his chair after reading the telegram.

Although I am very unhappy with Turner in my heart, at least everyone is my own family. If such a big thing happens to the striker, he, as the manager, must also bear joint and several liability! And it is a big deal.

The family is all seasoned, and in this vague telegram that deliberately concealed the damage caused by the battle, Patton also felt the difficulty of the other party. The keen sense brought by his experience in the battlefield made him clearly aware of the seriousness of the matter. Turner said in the telegram

When the book arrived, we found that we had lost dozens of tanks of various types. The actual battle losses could only be more or less. However, the telegram did not mention the other party's losses at all, which is intriguing.

"Contact me General Walker of the 1st Cavalry Division, um, get his troops ready to fight. Also tell the Air Force to let them find this unit and then launch an attack as much as possible. Before officially marching to Toulouse, we must

This poison

Pull out the needle! In addition, two companies of Type 29 tank destroyers will be transferred from my general reserve to the 1st Cavalry Division." Just after he finished speaking, Patton regretted it again. Type 29 tank destroyers are in short supply in this era.

Cargo. It is said that the Type 29 tank destroyer

The production capacity of tank destroyers began to be reduced as early as 2 years ago. China seems to have come up with something new. The US military industry system strongly resists the service of the Type 29 tank destroyer. Under the influence of two aspects, the Type 29 tank destroyer equipped by the US military

number of cars

There are very few tank destroyers in the reserve on hand. I got them through various connections. Just throwing away two companies like this seems a bit too much? "Well, transfer a Type 29 tank destroyer company from the general reserve.

." Barton added.
