After the Czech Republic was occupied, Germany obtained a large number of Czech 38t tanks, and the handling of these tanks caused a lot of debate. Finally, at the suggestion of Cialek, these tanks were transformed into tank destroyers.

The original turret on the top was removed and replaced with a sloped armor with inclined angles on all sides. It was 60 mm thick, and the effect of inclination was equivalent to a protection level of 120 mm.

On the right side of the front armor, an excellent 48 times the caliber 75mm cannon was installed, specially used for anti-armor. This cannon is also used as a towing cannon and is equipped in the German Army in large quantities.

Unlike the 75mm tank gun with a diameter of 70 times the diameter of the Black Panther Tank, this tank gun with a diameter of only 48 times the diameter is easy to produce and has a high output.

At the same time, the power is already good. For example, using pzgr.39 armor-piercing bombs, it can penetrate 106 mm of armor at a distance of 100 meters, and 85 mm of penetration depth over 1000 meters, which is enough to penetrate British and French tanks.

When the number of tanks cannot be met, it is a last resort to use hunters to expand the armored forces first. In the military industry behind Germany, there have been new plans. After taking over France and integrating France's defense industry, the tanks owed to the army can be completely compensated.

As for now, let’s make do with it first. It’s make do with the German army. For Britain and France, this kind of tank is already the main force.

As the company commander, Meyer owns a Black Panther 3 tank. He exposed half of his body on the turret. Looking at the road ahead, and looking at the hunter behind him like a beetle, there is always an indescribable feeling. This small tank destroyer is simply a stain on his military career.

In the distance, the kitchen truck could already be seen. After receiving the order, his armored company walked back, while the kitchen truck stopped and waited.

He could even imagine that his armored company was responsible for safely escorting the French general who was Laozi to the rear, so that he would not have to fight.

It's so boring. Thinking about the war has not yet been fought, he feels a little depressed.

He continued to use his telescope habitually and glanced around for a while. Suddenly, his brows frowned.

Strangely, why did black smoke appear west of our side? It seems that an army is advancing.

Suddenly, Meyer felt his eyelids blinking. Judging from the opponent's marching direction, it was not like his own team. So, was it the enemy coming?

If that's the case, that would be great! Mayer was about to cheer, and he said to his radio soldier: "Send a message to his superiors, find the enemy, inform the troops, advance to the right, and prepare for battle!"

A few kilometers away from the kitchen car, Meyer's tank troops drove off the road, crushing the field and heading towards the target. At this time, in the telescope, they could already see the tanks one by one.

What kind of tank is that?

Mayer was a little curious. The other party was coming from the tank troops. Now he could see the other party's turret clearly. The structure was so special. I had never seen it before. The sign on the other party's turret was in the character "M" and that was from the British!

It must be the enemy. I really didn't expect that at this time, the British would still dare to turn around?

Since he is here, don't leave! Meyer swallowed and got into his turret: "Fight formation, prepare for battle, load armor-piercing bullets!"

When attacking, tanks must have a good tactic, the most important of which is formation. Meyer arranges formations according to the characteristics of his own troops.

His Black Panther 3 tanks rushed in the front, and in the back, three platoon commanders' Black Panther 3 tanks were diamond-shaped, while behind them, each Black Panther 3 tank was accompanied by a group of hunters.

The 220-horsepower engine of the Chaser roared, driving the 16-ton tank destroyer forward quickly.

If it is weight-based, this is definitely lightweight. However, there is no turret, and it is composed of a car body with an inclination angle, which greatly simplifies its structure. With first-class protection, the firepower is also quite fierce and does not put too much burden on the engine.

In later generations, this kind of hunter was made in large quantities and used to deal with the Soviet tank sea.

And now, the brilliant battle for hunters is about to begin!

The 3rd Armored Brigade of the British First Armored Division, the brigade commander George sat in his Covenant Cruise Tank. In terms of mobility, their newly developed tank uses a 340-horsepower Meadows Dav 12-cylinder horizontally opposed engine, which is the largest horsepower model in the British tank, making them very mobility very good.

So, they rushed to the front.

George was not from an armored soldier. Just a year ago, after a brief study in the Armored Soldier Academy, he came to the First Armored Division to serve and became the brigade commander.

Now, sitting in the bumpy tank, for him, it was like sitting on a horse's back. He was not afraid of bumpy, he was just not used to it.

So, he never got into the turret. He exposed half of his body outside, which made it feel more comfortable.

Not only him, but many tank captains are like this. One of the problems is that this turret is too small.

How to improve protection while saving weight is the main indicator of this tank development. In order to achieve this goal, they used a lot of inclined armor.

In the entire design, Nafield Company is responsible for the turret part. Their turrets are arranged in double-layered layout on the side, with a larger thickness, nearly 40 mm perpendicular to the front, plus a very large cannon shield, and a 19 mm side but a large tilt structure that really makes the jump really possible, and the rear armor is also 25 mm.

This is already the best protection under the premise of ensuring mobility, but the trouble that comes with it is that this tilting design sacrifices a lot of movement space in the turret, making the trio in the turret miserable.

It's too frustrating inside and too small, and it's better outside.

"Note, German tank troops were found in front of you and prepare for battle!" Brigade Commander George shouted loudly after discovering the rolling armor torrent on the opposite side.

Get ready for the battle!

Through the telescope, you can see a small army opposite, with only a few Black Panther 3 tanks, and the rest are all things like beetles I have never seen before.
Chapter completed!
