Redemption of WWII

Chapter 74 Firing

The Seventh British Armored Division suffered a major blow, but the division commander 'Brian' still stubbornly fought the German 'No. 200' to the death. He firmly believed that there was no armor in the world that could stop the British Army The ground troops of the 4th Division simply did not exist. 【】His strong self-confidence comes from his loyal subordinates and nearly [-] 'Sherman m[-]'s.

The German tanks were also heading towards the British army, because the British tanks that were beaten into torches affected the sight of the tanks too much.Only by driving to the back of these tanks can these disturbances be eliminated again, and the British tanks can be hit accurately and quickly again.But the courage of these German tanks is indeed fat enough.

Only 40 tanks in the district dare to attack an armored division full of new tanks.If others hear this, they will find it incredible, and they will not believe it at all.Even the German tank expert 'Guderian' who became famous for his armor tactics, the German field marshal 'Manstein' and the old fox 'Rommel' would not believe it.

These senior German generals did not approve of this head-to-head desperate dispatch at all. What they advocated was that they would hit the British unexpectedly at the right place.Therefore, these excellent generals of the German army are only suitable for some beautiful combinations in tactics.But when faced with the head-on collision of iron and blood, he is a little soft-hearted.Of course, it doesn't mean that these generals are wrong, but on the contrary, these generals are too good.Excellent ones are like beautiful celadon vases, which cannot be regarded as consumables together with earthen jars.

It's not that no one agrees with this, such as Hitler and Liu Qi.Hitler was a lunatic, not to mention forty 'tiger' tanks, he dared to attack even four bicycles.Because he is a lunatic, a lunatic often does something different from a normal person.

Liu Qi was not a lunatic, but he was not far from being half-mad. He dared to attack the enemy's heavily guarded group army headquarters with a few hundred people.If Liu Qi was here, he would also launch an attack, because it was related to his own life and death.As long as the war is defeated, it will be wiped out immediately.Of course Liu Qi is crazy and wants to fight the British to the end.

The commanders of the German army who are now driving these forty 'Tiger' tanks are certainly not crazy.Their offense is well-founded.

The first is of course the armor of these 'tigers'. The appearance of tigers is quite similar to that of the 'No. [-]' tank, but in terms of performance. 'Tiger' is very different from 'Number Four'.

The frontal armor of the 'Tiger' has reached 102 mm, which can be regarded as the thickest frontal armor in the world today.A 150 mm thick gun mantlet is also installed in front of the turret.This makes the frontal defense on the 'Tiger' turret a steel plate thickness of 270mm.And these steel plates are nickel-chromium-manganese high-pressure steel.Various indicators of materials are the most advanced in the world.

Even the side steel armor of the 'Tiger' is 80mm thick, which gives the 'Tiger' a super defense.The increased thickness of the steel plate also gave the 'Tiger' a super weight of 56 tons.What this weight brings is that even if it is equipped with a barrel with a caliber of 88 mm, the 'Tiger' is still as stable as Mount Tai.In fact, it is still acceptable to install a larger artillery "Tiger", but now there are no flat-fire guns above 90 mm in Germany, let alone armored tank guns.However, in the later years of the war, with the continuous advancement of technology, the caliber of the barrels used by tanks will become larger and larger.

In addition, the mobility of the 'Tiger' is actually not weak, and it is not slower than the 'No. 40' tank at all.The reason for this has been discussed before.It can be said that 'Tiger' is the boss of tanks in the world.Except for the relatively thin armor at the rear, other aspects can be said to be quite excellent.The Germans made the rear armor of the 'Tiger' relatively thin because the German designer of the 'Tiger' did not believe that there is any tank in the world that can beat a tiger and flee.Strong self-confidence allowed these designers to design the rear armor of the 'Tiger' with a thickness of only 75 mm.Not to mention the 37mm tank guns of the British army, even those small [-]mm tank guns can easily penetrate the ass of the 'Tiger'.It is said that the ass of the "tiger" cannot be touched, and there is a certain truth.However, the formation of the German army was maintained quite well, and there was no problem of tanks turning around and fleeing at all.

The second point that these German tank commanders rely on is the strong self-confidence of these German instructors.These instructors are usually one by one with their eyes above their heads, and they are so arrogant that they don't even know their names.On the surface, he is amiable, but secretly he thinks that he is number one in the world, and secretly fights back and forth, not only with his own school and colleagues.Armored academies are still fighting with armored academies.

Just as every martial art school in ancient times wanted to be the leader of the martial arts, these armored academies all wanted to be the number one armored academy in Germany.And the struggle between those instructors is like, the individual competition is for the heads of these sects.However, these battles are limited to Germany. These armored instructors have not yet talked about competing with other armored poor countries to win glory for the country in armor research.

As a result of this battle, Germany's armored tanks and their tactical research are far ahead of other countries.Of course, it is only a theory and a small-scale experiment.Because the theories of these instructors need to be put into practice, hundreds of tanks are often needed as the protagonists, and tens of thousands of people participate in the cooperation.The funds needed for an experiment are estimated to be scolded by Hitler when he arrives.It is almost the same as the money spent in invading a small European country, Germany.

Germany's national strength cannot support the research of these people, but it does not mean that the struggle among these instructors will stop.Today you published a "Tank Extreme Sports Theory", and tomorrow I will publish an "Outline of Tank Crossing the Sea Combat" in color.

This time, the four major colleges and universities have dispatched 100 armored instructors to North Africa. These people have already made an appointment on the way. Before, there were no conditions, and it was difficult to distinguish between high and low.This time the battlefield doesn't need to be hidden anymore, it's all really skillful.In the end who is superior and who is inferior, you will know if you try it with the testing stone of the British.Of course, the judging criteria are not all based on how many British people are eliminated.Many other indicators are also needed, such as the movement distance of the unit, the reaction speed of the tank when there are few enemies and many enemies, and the different strategies of the armor in the face of various arms.

Hundreds of instructors are holding back their energy, and they insist on making the commanders of other armored colleges their own abilities on the British.First, the tank group led by Major General Sith confronted the First Armored Division of the British Army, and let the British know what the cooperative spirit of the tank team was. They destroyed 80 tanks and captured nearly 100 British tanks.

Then came the two armored academies for the students, lively and lively lessons about tank walking and shooting experiments.Destroyed 220 tanks of the [-]th British Armored Division.It can be said that the competition between the first three armored academies was basically a tie.

But now the instructors of the last German armored academy are facing nearly 200 'Sherman m4' tanks.But the number of their tanks is only 40.But no one thought it was a bit unfair, even the instructors of the other three academies didn't say that they were weak.Instead, they have to rush to exchange the right to use these 40 tanks with them.

These 'tiger' commanders certainly won't do it.You must know that almost all the instructors of the 'Leopard' tank have already test-driven in Germany.But the 'Tiger' was a tank they had never touched.Just like a child will arouse poor curiosity when facing a new toy, but the old toy has long been forgotten.

The traveling speed of 'Tiger' is quite stable, and being slow is actually a visual error.People always feel that big things move slower, and that is a concept they have formed for a long time. The first impression of 'Tiger' is that it is simply too backward, without any modern flavor.There were horns and corners all over his body, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.It's not at all like the slim body of 'Sherman m4', and the streamlined corners are so eye-catching.It's not like the "Leopard" that the extended barrel gives people a sharp, piercing feeling.If you have to use one word to describe the 'Tiger' tank, it would be 'simply and honest' or 'stupid hat'.

The tank crews of the [-]th British Armored Division had already arrived at the German "No. [-]" tanks, and they all rushed towards their own team. They all wanted to avenge those sacrificed comrades.They all stopped the tanks, pointed their barrels at the burning smoke, and waited quietly.Wait for the moment when the German tanks emerge from the smoke, so that they can accurately fire the guns to strike those evil Germans.Let those Germans also taste the power of their own guns.

At this time, the British army on the battlefield was full of crows and sparrows, and their spirits were concentrated a few hundred meters ahead.And now only the roar of the German tank engine is left in their ears. It has to be said that the power of the German tank engine is quite large, and the sound is particularly low and loud.

Facing the German tanks that were about to pierce through the smoke, the tankers in these British tanks couldn't help but feel extremely nervous.The effect of tension is that some soldiers' hands began to tremble slightly, and the sweat on their bodies was rushing like they didn't want money.Just these few minutes of waiting caused the British tankers to lose a lot of physical strength.To the British officers and soldiers, just a few minutes are like days, months, and years.

Finally, the Germans emerged from the smoke.The tank commanders of the [-]th Armored Division of the British Army were so stimulated that their vocal cords could no longer make normal sounds.Screams "Fire the guns" in an octave-high diva's voice

The tense atmosphere made them even forget to order to adjust the angle of the tank turret and the elevation of the barrel.And those tank shooters who tightly held the trigger of the launch also forgot the basic tactical actions of the usual training, intentional aiming, and intentional stimulation.Stimulated by the high-pitched voices of those commanders, they immediately fired the cannon nervously.
