Meyer was very excited. He left only two tank destroyers to help guard the French general and escorted back to the rear. All his remaining troops were left, waiting for the next order.

This was the gap before the war, and Meyer's men quickly carried out tank maintenance.

When I was fighting just now, I was very excited and felt nothing. But now, when I finished fighting, I saw that my tank was seriously injured.

The opponent's 40mm pounding cannon left several holes on the front armor plate. The largest one could even be stuffed into the fist. However, the armor plate was not penetrated, and the Black Panther 3 tanks protected the tank soldiers intact!

In theory, damaged tanks should retreat to the rear and use electrical welding and other equipment to fill the damaged parts intact before they can continue to participate in the battle. However, now, they are obviously unwilling to continue waiting.

What are you waiting for? A big battle is right in front of you. The first armored division in the entire UK must participate in the war!

"Be careful, be careful!" At this time, several people were working carefully on Meyer's tank.

The blind shell was still in the cannon chamber, and the shell must be brought out first.

This is quite dangerous. When the shell is loaded into the barrel, it must be fired. If the shell is withdrawn, it will be dangerous.

Theoretically, there is inertial insurance on the shells. Only when the shells are shot out of the barrel and the speed is sufficient will the inertial insurance be lifted.

This is a necessary measure. Otherwise, if the fuse that impacts and explodes is not available, if it is not insured, it is easy to explode when impacted during transportation, which is quite dangerous.

However, if any machinery is an unexpected situation, what if this shell is an exception?

Gently opened the gun door at the tail, and carefully checked the tail of the shell. The striker had already hit the bullet, leaving a small pit at the bottom, but the launching medicine in the gun barrel was not fired, which seemed to be a problem with the fuse.

He used both hands, but the cannon was still motionless.

"There is heat expansion and contraction, and I can't take it down." He shouted.

When firing, with multiple fires, the temperature inside the barrel is very high and the space becomes larger, so it is easy to load shells, but now the battle has ended and the space inside the barrel becomes smaller.

If it is normal, that is not a problem. After all, in the cold state, the shells must be loaded.

The problem is that in the fierce battle just now, they fired more than twenty shells, and every time they fired, there would be residues of the launching medicine.

These residues make the internal space smaller and the friction becomes larger, making it difficult to remove.

"It seems that we can only use the old method." The gunman said: "Shake the barrel to the lowest point and get the steel drill."

On one side of the tank's body, a long steel brazing can be drawn out, just one meter longer than the tank's gun barrel. This thing is used to maintain the tank gun barrel.

After each fire, the gunpowder residue in the gunbore must be cleaned in time. Now, this steel brazing has other functions.

The cannon leader is an old man. He holds a cigarette in his mouth and holds a steel chisel in both hands, and stuffs it to the bottom, then shouts: "Give me a hammer!"

Sledgehammers are essential for maintaining tanks in normal times.

"Smash!" the gunman shouted to the driver.

The driver was a little worried: "If this happens, will the shell explode?

Tank guns are all high-pressure guns and there are a lot of fire medicines. If you are not careful, you will blow up the shells, which will definitely blow up the barrels and then send them all to heaven."

"I have avoided the fuse from the warhead, let's do it!" The gunman continued with a cigarette in his mouth, "Come on, try hard!"

"Bang!" The sledgehammer hit.

"Come again!"

After smashing five times in a row, the loader shouted loudly in the turret here: "It's moving, it's moving!"

"continue!"

After smashing more than thirty hammers, the shell slowly retreated from the barrel.

After the last move, the loading hand hugged the shell and carefully carried it out.

"Stay here and leave it to the engineers," said Mayer.

The shells that are dull are quite dangerous and need to be left to the engineers to detonate, which has nothing to do with them. Now, they need to quickly maintain the vehicle to prevent similar problems from happening.

Standing in a hunter tank destroyer, Meyer looked into the distance. He knew that the battle he had just had was just a contact with the opponent's forward, and the next battle would soon begin.

There was a roar in the east, and Mayer raised his head and looked at the sky, and suddenly felt unhappy: "Hey, why did it come so early? You can't scare the British away!"

After learning the news, our air force arrived quickly.

More than a dozen Stukas flew over Meyer's tank company and headed forward to them. There should be the main force of the British Armored Division.

If they bombard the British and scare them away, that would be awful.

Unfortunately, the pilot in the sky couldn't hear his words.

Hans drove his Stuka and flew through the air of 500 meters. This was his 87th battle since the war started. He flew three times almost every day, which was simply a natural combat machine! If it weren't for the night that he could not attack, he might have to fight and attack at night.

At the same time, Hans's results have accumulated to 203.

According to regulations, if he accumulates more than 200, he will have to come down from the front line and go to the rear to train students. However, the war is still continuing now. The confirmation of Hans's results is not so fast and the reporting is slow, so Hans is still flying on the front line.

This was also considered a loophole for him, but he couldn't take it long. When the French Battle was over, he would definitely be ordered to return to the rear.

Cherish every opportunity, like now!

Under the belly of the machine, two 500 kilogram bombs were hung. This was the most common combat load for Stuka. His eyes were sharp and he could see a long distance to the ground at a glance.

Just now, he flew over his tank position, and when he flew past, he shook his wings towards the people below.

If he knew the complaints below, he would definitely spit down there.

They went to bomb the bridge and cut off the rear of the British armored forces. They created opportunities for their own armored forces to encircle and annihilate the British armored division.

Of course, after blowing up the bridge, if they have the chance, they will also blow up the fuel trucks supplied by the British Armored Division.

"Shanovsky, do you know? HS-129 looks pretty good." Hans talked to his back machine gunner while flying.
