Chapter 718 Ambush Circle

"Run, run." Locke shouted to his driver while turning the turret.

They had just encountered the front, and the turret was in front, and now, they began to retreat. The turret turned half a circle, and at the rear, Locke continued to concentrate.

In this era without ballistic computers, bistable systems, crosswind sensors, and laser rangefinders, it is simply unimaginable to perform dynamic shooting, but if you have a continuous weapon in your hand, it would be a different scene.

"Bangbang!" The 40mm Bofos tank gun made continuous fire sounds, and shells poured towards the pursuing crusaders tanks!

This firepower made the other party dare not approach, and at the same time, the speed of the reconnaissance car finally got up.

The diesel engine at the tail was roaring, and black smoke kept coming out. Every sudden interruption was to raise a gear.

If you compare speed, a tracked chariot will never be as good as a wheeled chariot!

The British cruiser tanks were already the limit for more than 60 kilometers per hour in the desert, but it was possible for wheeled infantry fighting vehicles to reach seventy or eighty kilometers per hour!

What they need is the process of speeding up.

The roar of the diesel engine was deafening. As the gears were constantly increasing, the speed of the vehicle was also increasing. At the same time, the roar of artillery shells was constantly heard around him.

No 57mm tank shell hit them, and the nearest ones were more than ten meters! This kind of dynamic shooting is simply a waste of ammunition.

Locke just stopped the other party's actions. Now that he saw that his armored vehicle had accelerated, he also gave up on firing.

After returning to the car, Locke shouted to his radio, "How is it? How is it? Have you contacted the battalion commander?"

"I've contacted it. The battalion commander is setting up his pockets. In area 37, he asked us to attract the tank troops behind him, so that the battalion commander can wipe out them all." The radio shouted.

Their reconnaissance vehicle is also part of the 66th Tank Battalion. When they were disembarking, the tanks were unloaded first and then they started to rush. They didn't even wait for the reconnaissance vehicle, and they were all Black Panther 3 tanks.

After the battle was over, the troops from the rear were also coming one after another, and the reconnaissance vehicles, supply vehicles, and cooking vehicles belonging to the Tank Battalion arrived behind.

Now, the entire tank battalion is replenishing supplies and eating at the same time, while the reconnaissance vehicles are released to expand the reconnaissance area. In this way, they discovered that the British suddenly dispatched the main armored troops!

After receiving the radio message, Carl Maus immediately issued an order. A tank company was urgently pulled out and ran to area 37 to set up a pocket. At the same time, the other tanks remained in the original camp, waiting to accept the British sneak attack.

Teach the British a lesson and let them know the power of the German armored forces!

During the time on the ship, almost all the commanders of the armored forces were studying the map, with dense markings on it, and the corners of the map were worn out, which means that their research on the map has been very in-depth.

Area 37 is near Tobrug. Their camp is about fifteen kilometers away and is covered with earth slopes on all sides. It is very suitable for tanks to open fire and ambush in the back.

After receiving the order, the tanks of the 3rd Company of Tanks rumbled over. Company commander Seger Varrein shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Hurry, hide, the British are coming soon!"

It's good to hide!

They moved to the back of the earth slope and turned the black hole gun barrel towards the flat land in the middle. Some people even collected some dead branches from the side and placed them on the tank.

The engine has been turned off to prevent the black smoke from being discovered by the enemy. At this time, the sun is setting, and the entire earth has turned orange-red, as if it is blood.

Company Commander Variein squatted beside his tank and looked into the distance with a telescope. Soon, on the horizon, he saw streams of black smoke.

This is a rally! Variin couldn't help but praise him.

The one running in the front was our own wheeled reconnaissance car. The drivers of this reconnaissance car also tried their best. You can see that the car flew up from time to time!

Behind were some tanks carrying small cannon barrels. Five pairs of load-bearing wheels were jogging up and down as they quickly moved forward. You can see that the other party was trying their best.

The black smoke from the engine kept coming out from behind.

"Be ready to let the British know our power, steel core armor-piercing bullets, loading!"

The engine has been turned off, and now it almost relies on the power of the battery. For this reason, the tank hand even had to use hand-crank to fire the barrel in advance, and wait until the other party enters his own field of view before firing the fire!

The 88mm tank gun barrel aimed at the open space in front, and the tank commanders were waiting excitedly.

"Accelerate, accelerate!" The company commander's roar kept ringing in the radio, looking at the armored vehicle, right in front of him, but he couldn't catch up with him!

The accelerator was already at the end, and the driver was helpless. Just as he was about to continue working hard, suddenly, the instrument pointer in front of him swayed, and at the same time, an alarm light lit up.

His feet loosened from the accelerator.

"What's going on? Why did you slow down?" the company commander slapped the armor beside him and shouted loudly.

"The engine is overheated and we can't continue to start," the driver shouted.

In order to be happy, they removed the engine speed limiter and made the tanks soar to more than 60 kilometers per hour. Of course, there is a price!

Why should we limit speed? Why should we reduce power? It is because the engine cannot dissipate heat! This was originally an aircraft engine. When it comes to the sky, the temperature is low, but when it is used on the ground, the temperature is higher, and when it is used in desert areas, the temperature is even higher!

I was just concerned about being happy all the way, but now the engine is hot!

If you continue to start, the next step is to pull the cylinder and the engine will be scrapped!

If the Russians were driving the tank, they would ignore anything. Even if the water in the water tank was leaking, they would dare to drive and continue. However, now, British soldiers still pay great attention to principles.

The engine is hot and cannot be turned off immediately, so the cooling system will not work. Release the gears and let the engine idle. The driver operates in an orderly manner according to the prescribed process.

The tank stopped.

The other tanks also stopped, half a pound, their tanks had a high water temperature and the engine was overheated! So they could only watch the wheeled armored vehicle continue to escape, but they could do nothing.
Chapter completed!
