Chapter 832 Sherman Tank
The m5 anti-tank gun is too tall, especially the huge gun shield, which looks quite conspicuous. Therefore, after the German tank soldiers discovered that the anti-tank gun on the opposite side could tear open their main armor, they immediately changed their tactics and first confirmed that the opponent had no ability to counterattack!
The 88mm grenade continued to pour towards the opposite side, and one M5 anti-tank gun was covered by artillery fire!
British soldiers were fighting back firmly, but at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, their accurate heads were quite low, while on the contrary, German tank guns could easily call them on their heads, which was simply a one-sided battle!
One, another, anti-tank guns were constantly destroyed, and the positions of the British army would be lost at any time!
"Occurrence, offense!" After confirming again, it was impossible for the opponent to have hidden anti-tank guns. Carl shouted loudly in the radio, "After holding it in for so long, it's time for them to attack!"
With his orders, Black Panther 3 tanks quickly moved towards the opposite side. For them, a distance of one thousand meters was a matter of kicking the accelerator.
Behind the tank troops were a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, and the soldiers on the vehicles were ready to get off the car and fight at any time. When they entered the enemy's position, they had to rely on infantry to accompany them to protect them. They had long been familiar with this tactic.
However, this progress did not proceed as they hoped.
The tanks in front were almost on the British position. Seeing that the tracks could crush the opponent's trenches, Carl Mauss once again skillfully conducted a weekly search.
The view inside the tank is very poor, especially now, while attacking forward, they rarely take care of their flanks, and only the most skilled tankers will distract themselves from taking care of them.
Just as Carl looked to the side, he noticed something keenly. There were churning black smoke and dust on his right wing, and a tank unit was attacking his flank!
"Note, at three o'clock, I found the enemy's tank troops!" Carl shouted loudly in the radio.
Direction at three o'clock!
Hearing his early warning, the turrets of Black Panther 3 tanks began to turn to the right, and before they could turn over, the enemy's tank troops on the flank had already opened fire!
Carl was surprised to find that the tank opposite was actually firing while moving!
In a tank without a fire control computer or a two-way stability system, if you want to move and fire, it must be a tank hand with extremely experienced. The accuracy of quiet and quiet is not good, let alone moving and moving!
However, the other party opened fire, either fired randomly or had their own killer weapon!
Carl did not order fire, he never wastes shells, he was just continuing to observe the other side, those tanks did not look like any of the known British tanks!
Moreover, after several battles, the British tank troops had been consumed. Where did these tanks emerge? The number was still so large?
"Bang!" At this moment, Carl heard a huge impact sound from the side of his tank turret, and his Black Panther 3 tank was hit from the side!
No tank can have all-round protection, and the sides and back of the Black Panther 3 are not thick.
If it was a firefly equipped with a British 17-pound cannon or a monster equipped with a 105-pound cannon, Carl would have been killed at this time, but now his tank is still intact!
Damn, Carl became even more angry.
"Rolle the turret, open fire, kill them!" Carl gave the order, but he did not let his troops turn. Now, the enemy's position is right in front of him, and his mission is to tear open the enemy's position!
As for this tank unit rushing over, naturally, there are tanks behind it to destroy them!
The Black Panther 3 tanks, with their turrets turning ninety degrees, took a volley towards the enemy rushing towards the side.
Everyone has questions, where did this British tank unit come from?
Of course it was sent from the United States!
Since all the anti-tank guns sent by the United States have arrived, the tanks donated by the United States must have arrived simultaneously.
Moreover, compared with the batch of m3 tanks shipped to the UK, these tanks are more advanced models. The US has just completed the development of m4 tanks!
War is definitely a catalyst for technology. On the one hand, the United States has launched research on anti-tank guns, and on the other hand, it is also stepping up the development of advanced tanks that can be comparable to the Black Panther 3 tank!
This is the Sherman tank codenamed m4, also known as Firefly.
The development speed of this tank is very fast. In fact, it can be said that it is originally an improved model of the m3 tank.
The m3 tank is a tank model developed by the Americans in an orderly manner. As a result, after the shaping, it was suddenly discovered that it had fallen behind. When the Germans had already used 75mm guns and 88mm guns, the m3 tank actually used 37mm guns!
Firepower, maneuverability, and protection are nothing compared to anything, so the Americans could only quickly install a tumor-like protrusion on the right front of the vehicle body, and install a 75mm main gun there.
This inappropriate thing is of course just a product of temporary emergency response. After that, the Americans reopened a new turret, which was larger and could stuff the 75mm gun into it, while lowering the height of the vehicle body.
Even if it is lowered, this tank is still nearly three meters high, which is definitely the tallest tank of this era!
However, I didn't care about too much. After fiddling, I efficiently produced a batch of more than 300 vehicles in the form of a production line. I loaded it on a ship and transported it to Egypt.
The battle situation here is already very dangerous. If you delay it for a day, you will be more dangerous!
If it is advanced than German tanks, it is probably that it is equipped with a gun vertical stabilizer. Although it can only be stable in one direction, it is quite good, allowing the tank to have the ability to fire while marching!
The British tank soldiers were not vague. They barely worked with the tank for a day or two before they got on the battlefield. Although it was easy to get started, tanks require absolutely well-trained.
So, just now, hundreds of their tanks rushed over, opened fire while they were marching, and only hit one on the other side!
The newly formed Royal 6th Armored Regiment, commander of Alexander, was an old tank player. At this time, he knew that he had no choice but to move forward!
"Fire, fire!" He kept issuing combat orders, and fire as many shells as possible before he was hit!
Chapter completed!
