Predatory map of ominous birds

It is already the first weekend of July. During these three days, the Allied forces have completely controlled the Normandy area and are doing their best to transport large troops to France.They repaired the docks at a rapid speed, and huge transport ships lined up to enter the devastated port to unload countless supplies, equipment and personnel.Many American soldiers set foot on European soil for the first time in their lives, and they are looking at the scenery of France with curiosity.In just 7 days, the Allied Air Force drove the German Air Force out of the sky over Normandy with all its strength, successfully covering the safety of the transport fleet, and in 3 days, the Allied forces in France also rapidly expanded to 3. Dowan, the Allied forces are now attacking Calais and Cherbourg with all their strength, trying to occupy these two important port cities as soon as possible, and prepare for the arrival of large forces in Europe.But it was at these two places that the Allies hit the iron plate for the first time.

Allied tanks are generally equipped with m4a3e8 Sherman as the basic armor unit, and a large number of m26 are equipped with 90mm artillery as the backbone of the tank force. The British have enlarged the turret of the m4 tank and installed 17 pounds The artillery is called "Firefly" as the backbone of its own tanks. In terms of numbers, it benefits from the strong production capacity of the Americans, far exceeding the German army in front of it.

On July 7th, the Allied forces had already occupied Normandy for a week. The number of Allied troops who landed was close to 6, the number of tanks had exceeded 80, and the number of artillery pieces exceeded 3000. Half of the troops were mobilizing to attack Calais and Cherbourg.The number of German troops facing us was less than 4000, with only more than 20 tanks and assault guns, and less than 700 artillery pieces. The gap in the number of aircraft was also very large. Many field airports and the aircraft above were destroyed. For a time, Germany on the Western Front The Air Force can only maintain its existence, and try not to let the Allied Air Forces be unscrupulous over the ground troops.

The British tank unit first encountered the iron plate. Their mixed forces with Canada encountered tanks they had never seen before outside Calais-a tank that was a little shorter than the Panther tank, fast and indestructible. The British The Chinese M4 and the Canadian M4 were destroyed by shells fired from 2000 meters away before they could react.By the time the British and Canadians finally spotted the German tanks in the distance, a quarter of the entire force had been disabled.To say that the British and Canadians are also quite brave, they opened the front to outflank the German tank group, but sadly found that the German tanks were faster than them, and they could also shoot on the move.The artillery on the German tanks is powerful and has a fast rate of fire, and the 76mm artillery equipped on their vehicles cannot penetrate the German tanks anyway.Finally, when an m4 approached to only 100 meters away from the German tank, the shells fired were still flying by the frontal armor of the German tank, but he was knocked off the turret by a shell. After that, the Allied forces collapsed... The British and The Canadians fled in all directions, and those who had no time to run had to raise the white flag and surrender.In just half an hour, the two armored divisions of the Allied forces in Britain and Canada were defeated, and more than 350 of the total 270 tanks in the two divisions were destroyed. No German losses were recorded - they were recorded after the war , Germany dispatched a battle group composed of armored teaching units and the 17th Armored Division. There were only 17 e50s, 25 panthers, and 28 No. 4 g tanks, and only 4 panthers and 7 panthers were lost. No, it can still be repaired...

"Huh? It's unexpectedly easy to fight... The British and the Canadians are so incapable of fighting? Compared with the Russians, they really can't be seen." Fafnir sighed, he was in this battle group .Now he wears the Oak Leaf Knight's Cross on his collar - in recognition of his 200th tank destruction, and wears the gold tank assault badge on his body, all of which show that he is the number one tank ace of the Third Reich Wehrmacht elegant demeanor.

在7月6日击破盟军英国和加拿大部队的坦克群后，他们立刻转向向南一点，汇合了后期赶来的教导团其余部队后，以全战斗群共计35辆e50“猞猁”、11辆“象”、25辆黑豹和5辆“强虎”式178mm自行火炮的阵营直接突击了美国第二装甲师的侧翼，这已经是法国北部地区所能抽调出的德国装甲部队的精华了。

On the morning of July 7, they began their attack.The U.S. Second Armored Division in person has more than 17 tanks and self-propelled artillery armored vehicles. It is the strongest Allied armored force after the Normandy landing. Although some tanks were lost during the landing and subsequent operations, they are still there today. There are about 1300 armored forces, and their flanks are always covered by the British 1000th Armored Division and the Canadian 7nd Armored Corps. The goal of the entire [-]nd Armored Division is Cherbourg, and Fafnir and their battle group It was an effort to penetrate the flank of the [-]nd American Armored Division, thereby crushing him as much as possible and lifting the siege of Cherbourg.

The battle was unexpectedly smooth from the very beginning, and the Americans were completely stunned by the spearheads composed of the cutting-edge e50 "Lynx".At a distance of 3000 meters, the "Lynx" started to fire. Using the new height stabilizer, the shooting appeared to be very accurate.Beat the Shermans into piles of torches, and the Shermans are completely helpless with German tanks at this distance-not to mention the e50, even the No. 4 tank can easily smash the Yankees' 76mm tanks at this distance Cannonballs fly.

The Yankees are rich and powerful, and they began to shoot with shelled tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles. At the same time, they took advantage of their numerical advantages to surround the German assault group. American attack planes in the sky also began to dive and attack. The e50 is not afraid of tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles 2000 meters away, and it is not afraid of the bombardment of the American 155 heavy artillery by taking advantage of its speed. However, it has no way to deal with the a-1 attack aircraft in the sky. "type self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and the No. 4 "Flying Leopard" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns fired desperately, but they were unable to stop the attack of A5... Fortunately, only 1 Panthers were destroyed in the first round of attack under the resistance of ground anti-aircraft firepower , but if this kind of attack does not stop, it seems that this assault group will be sent to hell one by one by the A4 attack plane.

At this time, several German planes appeared in the sky. As soon as these planes arrived, they caused chaos in the US attack fleet.Fafnir looked up and saw that there were not many German planes flying over, and only 4 to 5 planes could be seen, but the nose of the first me262 was painted as a black petal. There is a heart on the side, which is full of small spades; the other ta183 has a yellow nose and a yellow body number "14", and the tail is full of white stripes.The two planes, each with a wingman of the same type, went hand in hand to disrupt the American strike fleet.

The attack of that me262 is very simple and effective. It uses its speed advantage to climb up, then dives and fires at groups of attack aircraft. .

However, the attack of ta183 is very entertaining. This aircraft uses dazzling maneuvering flight to attack the aircraft group. Every time it fires, it seems to aim at the empty space. There was always a bogey flying right in the path of the bullet. "What a great predictive bias shooting capability!" exclaimed Fafnir.

The only use of ta183's wingman is to follow the lead plane to watch the rear for him, and occasionally shoot down the American attack plane that flew in front of him in a panic.

The counterattacks of the American attack planes and a few fighter jets were weak and unable to hit the four German jet fighters at all, especially the leading two lead planes shot down their own planes frequently as if they were in no one's land.Soon, the American pilots lost the courage to fight—no one wanted to bear the unilateral massacre, and the remaining planes fled desperately and dispersed.And the four German planes seemed to have run out of shells, and they shook their wings at the German tanks below and returned.

Fafnir was secretly surprised by the high efficiency of the two planes. "In 17 minutes, the two lead planes shot down more than 25 American planes. How many American planes were there in total? Are there 50? It really deserves its reputation!" He Without thinking too much, he immediately threw himself into the battle.

It wasn’t until the distance was reduced to less than 1000 meters that the American’s hit rate increased. The e50 at the head also suffered a few rounds. Wearing "Lynx", but the Panthers at the back suffered some losses-5 Panthers were damaged and had to be repaired before they could continue to fight. The Elephant assault gun was unscathed thanks to the thick frontal armor.

Within 500 meters, the e50 continues to show off its power. The 88l71 artillery will probably take away an American tank every time it shoots, and the tungsten-core armor-piercing bullets of the American tanks are still difficult to cause much damage to the "lynx". When they finally destroyed several "Lynxes" with tungsten-core bombs, they themselves retreated... The loss was too serious, the entire battlefield was shrouded in smoke, and it was impossible to observe their own results in detail - thinking that the "Lynxes" were still indestructible... ………

Finally, in the evening, after hard fighting, the battle group finally penetrated the entire front of the US 7nd Armored Division and the British 40th Armored Division. The formation with a depth of more than 150 kilometers was cut off, and the Americans and British were instead packed into a battle line. The logistics are cut off in the pocket.The Allied forces suffered huge losses throughout the day. More than 900 tanks were destroyed during the assault of the German battle group. Morale took a huge hit and ammo was low.The whole situation is now very unfavorable to the Allied Forces - although in the end they will definitely be able to capture Cherbourg and Calais with their overall advantage...
