Redemption of WWII

Chapter 58 Depressed Armored Division

It is strange to say that the targets of these perverted instructors in Germany are all 'Sherman m4' tanks. [] This also corresponds to the sentence, big trees attract wind, and big wealth attracts thieves.

The British, who were in mourning, were happily rejoicing that they had escaped the German attack, and their momentum had not yet passed.The 'Leopard' tank of another German division on the other side spoke. Originally, the British's marching route was the German No.15 Armored Division leaning to the right.The "Panther" tank of the German No.15 Armored Division was taken dizzy by a brick, so the British dodged desperately to the left, dodged and hid, and hid in the German 21st Armored Division on the right. Within range of the 'Panther' tank.

The 'Panther' tank commanders of the German 21st Division saw that the British tanks were out of range, so they didn't intend to argue with the British, but concentrated on their way.But the British army themselves sent it to the door.One of these instructor-level tank commanders.

"Hehe, I'm here to live. I didn't ask you for anything. You sent it to the door. If you don't fire two shots, how can you lead students in the future?"

In this way, the "Leopard" tanks of the German 21st Division also opened fire.I also blame the British army for running too fast. Before we got here, a group of big German men were waiting with bricks in their hands.

At that time, the British army was beaten to the point of crying and crying. The bricks on this side were more severe than those on the other side just now. A burst of artillery fire even knocked out more than 40 'Sherman m4's.The British army was beaten dizzy immediately, and hurriedly changed direction and drove in another direction.Of course, the 'Leopard' on the other side was not polite, and beat the British army back again.

In this way, the British army was beaten back and forth by the German "Panther" tanks on both sides like a ping pong ball, but the consequence of each shot was the price of dozens of British tanks being turned into torches.

In this way, until the German 'Panther' tank completely drove away from the farthest range of the tank gun, this wonderful event was considered to have come to an end.The No. 4 tanks behind the two German armored divisions did not bother the remaining tank units of the British Tenth Division who were extremely exhausted physically and mentally due to their long distances and insufficient range and the urgent task.

The supreme commander of the 260th Armored Division of the British Army 'Alexander' was truly relieved, but he soon burst into tears facing the piles of tank wreckage that had been turned into torches. The 100th British Armored Division with [-] tanks and more than [-] armored personnel carriers was disabled by the battle just now.

Nearly 100 'Sherman m4' ruthless Germans did not leave one to him. The 'Matilda' 2 tank, the so-called Tin Lady's tank, also because the German tank commander was too boring after finishing the 'Sherman m4', by the way, more than 40 tanks were destroyed, and the old' The Matilda '1 tanks turned out to be all reimbursed, all of them.

最令这位指挥官哭笑不得的是，35辆法国的老掉牙的‘卡尔1’坦克竟然一辆都没有被击。完好损的连块漆都没有碰掉。不过‘亚历山大’宁可要5辆普通的‘马蒂尔达’2型坦克，也不愿面对这35辆法式‘卡尔1’坦克。

To be honest, French tanks are really far from their cuisine.The French invested more in improving bread methods than in improving tanks.That's why French bread is famous, and French tanks are even looked down upon by French soldiers.

Not that the Germans didn't fight these 'Karl 1' tanks.Also the commanders of those proud 'Leopard' tanks really don't like these 'Karl 1' tanks. In their eyes, the 'Karl 1' tanks are simply, "tank garbage, garbage tanks".

Not to mention its ugly appearance, it emits black smoke at every turn, and it is short and short, making it difficult to shoot.It made the instructor-level tank commanders of the German army really uninterested.

If there are good ones, of course you don’t eat bad ones. Good looks have become the original sin of the 'Sherman m4' tanks being completely destroyed.

Of course, if you give these German 'Panther' commanders some more time, these perverts will be reluctant to pinch their noses to kill these 'Karl 1' tanks.But after all, this is just a shooting teaching during the march, and these instructors of the German army did not regard destroying these British tanks as a big deal.

It's just that all the 'Leopard' tanks have their turrets facing the side and rear of the British, and the elevation angle of the gun barrels has also been jumped to the maximum.

In any case, the result of 0vs220 made the Supreme Commander of the Tenth Armored Division of the British Army 'Alexander' cry.To be honest, there are quite a few British tanks in North Africa, more than 1100.In the past, the tanks of the British army were all designed to cover the infantry. The use of tanks was quite scattered, which made Rommel, an old fox, repeatedly take advantage of the loopholes.

It's different now. Under Meng Ge's command, the tanks were all shot up, forming three large armored clusters, namely the British Army's First Armored Division, Seventh Division, and Tenth Division.

这里第一师坦克300辆，由180辆‘谢尔曼m4’和120辆‘马蒂尔达’2型坦克组成。组成的人员也都是各个部队挑选的精兵强将。师长那更是手眼通天，关系相当硬的雷蒙德、布里格斯少将。

The Seventh Division is Meng Ge's home army. Meng Ge attaches great importance to his direct troops, so he directly stuffed 340 tanks into the Seventh Division, and all of them are the latest "Sherman m4" improved tanks.These are all tanks that have just come directly from the United States. The weight and range of the tanks have been greatly improved, and the engines are all equipped with steel armor. The safety of the tank members has been greatly improved.

The tank guns equipped with 53 times the diameter of the barrel also make these 'Sherman m4' have a longer range, and the mobility of the improved tank is greatly enhanced, and the time for the turret to rotate 360 ​​degrees is only a short time 10 seconds, and the gun barrel is also equipped with a newly developed muffler.

It is a good thing to say that the muffler is a good thing, because the gun is instantly accelerated to a high speed of 1000 meters per second by the chemical energy when the primer is burning.And what this high speed brings is the reaction force on the gun barrel, which is differentiated according to the diameter of the fired gun.

Like the 4mm howitzer of the 'Sherman m75' tank of the US military, when the gun is fired, the tank will be subjected to a recoil force of more than ten tons.If the tank is moving, firing a cannon is like receiving a force of more than ten tons suddenly, and the gear of the gearbox will directly apply this force to the engine.The damage to the engine is fatal.

Now, due to the installation of the recoil device, the impulse of the fire yo gas energy in the aftereffect period on the recoil part of the artillery is reduced when the cannon is fired, so as to reduce the recoil length and the force acting on the gun carriage.

Generally, this device can reduce the recoil force by half, so that when the tank is driving, the damage to the engine is greatly reduced when firing the gun.So that the tank has the ability to shoot while driving.

Of course, after installing this thing, the shock wave, airflow, flame and dust at the muzzle will be increased when shooting, which will affect the shooting accuracy and also affect the observation and aiming.The higher the efficiency of the brake, the greater the disadvantage.From this aspect, it also demonstrates that everything has two sides, and it is impossible to be perfect.

The third armored group of the British Army is the 3th Armored Division of 'Alexander'. To be honest, among the 1 armored divisions, the tanks belonging to the 35th Division are the most rubbish.A large number of old 'Matilda' 1 tanks made 'Alexander' very dissatisfied.Later, Mongol forcibly stuffed [-] 'Karl [-]' tanks left by France in Egypt.

These 'Carl 1' tanks are so broken that they are simply unsightly, even if they are given to 'Alexander' for free, he doesn't want to accept them, but he doesn't care about it.The matter is related to the face of the British and French Charles de Gaulle's government-in-exile.

Originally, the fact that Britain sank the French warship in the port was enough to give Churchill a headache. If he and de Gaulle were unhappy because of these tanks, then the matter would be even more difficult.So, these 'Karl 1' tanks were given to General 'Alexander' as a political mission.But it can be regarded as compensation, and an additional 100 'Sherman m4' tanks were given to the [-]th Division, so that 'Alexander' felt a little more balanced.

The three armored groups of the British army accounted for more than 200% of the number of British tanks in North Africa.The remaining 3 tanks are equipped in some independent brigades or corps, divisions directly under the combat order, plus some important areas also need tank support.Therefore, the tanks that the British army can gather are actually these three armored divisions.

And now the tanks of the Tenth Division of 'Alexander' turned out to be dead before they left the division.It was still extremely tragic to be beaten back and forth by the two German forces like ping pong balls, while the British tanks turned into torches without even firing a single shot.All this can not help but make 'Alexander' feel more sad.

What makes 'Alexander' even more distressed is that the 'Ah Lehman' army headquarters has lost contact since last night, and now the tanks under his command are basically finished.Want to retreat, the Germans on both sides have just passed, they are lucky enough not to launch a final attack on themselves.

If the Germans found themselves following their butts on the way to retreat, if they were not happy, they would kill their carbine and shoot back, that would be a bad idea.Just now when my tanks were all there, I didn't block the attack of these Germans. Now that my tanks are gone, I'm not looking for death or what to do.

In fact, there are still quite a few people in the Tenth Division of the British Army. Almost none of the more than 100 armored personnel carriers have been hit, and the infantry inside are still alive.But relying on these infantry to attack the German tank groups armed to the teeth, scaring 'Alexander' to death would not do such a stupid thing.
