Predatory map of ominous birds

By the end of September 1944, the Germans had completely abandoned Cherbourg in the south of Normandy and Calais in the north.The north side retreated to the front line of Belgium, and organized a line of defense around the Somme and Amiens; the center established a line of defense with Rouen as the core, ready to turn Paris into a sea of ​​​​flames at any time;At the same time, the mobilization arrangements for troops were stepped up, and domestically reorganized divisions were dispatched one after another to the German-French border area to enrich the defense line.

The Germans' strategic posture was already in a mess, and they once again fell into the nightmare of a two-front war.The Soviet Red Army in the east launched a magnificent and powerful offensive. Fafnir participated in the first and second offensives, but now the fifth offensive has caused the front of the German Army Group Center to crumble, and the troops suffered heavy losses. There are also a large number of troops that have been formed and wiped out, and they are about to be expelled from Belarus and Lithuania.Fortunately, the Germans are still barely maintaining the front line and have not been expelled from Belarus and Lithuania. It is much better than in real history, but the next more powerful offensive of the Soviet Red Army is imminent. No bottom.It was in October that Fafnir received the order to return to the 10rd Battalion and put it into the Belarusian front. At the same time, he followed him and returned to the factory to improve it into e503ausfb tanks-all the e50s that survived after the first batch of production Unified improvement with the second batch of e50 produced into the ausfb type, removed the 50mml88 artillery and replaced it with a 71mml105 artillery, improved the transmission mechanism and suspension mechanism so that the road speed increased to 52km, the cross-country speed increased to 55km, and the travel distance remained unchanged at 38km. The car body has become a 150-ton armor plate that can be hung externally, and all the side track armors have been changed to fixed ones, and the code name is still "Lynx".There are also some mysterious big guys who were also loaded on heavy trains and rushed to the front line of the Soviet Belarus in the face of Allied air strikes.The sky over Germany is no longer a safe place today...

Fafnir taught the Allies an unforgettable lesson before leaving France. The "Albert Highway Massacre" is the name of the Allied forces, and the "Albert Highway Hunt" is the name of the German army.

On September 9, the 28st Infantry Division of the United States attacked the German defense line in northern France as the main force, trying to cut off the German army's retreat to Belgium, and closed the German army on the front lines of Calais and Picardy to annihilate them in the future.And Fafnir's No. 223 e50b "Lynx" just finished refitting with another "Tiger" assault gun and a "Stalker" assault gun to defend the German positions outside Albert City. All of them are acquaintances of Fafnir.The Tiger's gunner is Big Boy Sergeant Dornberger - thanks to the Tiger's huge and roomy fighting compartment, which houses a just-developed autoloading system that uses the original turret rotation motor to lift the warhead And the ammunition bag, and put the two into the barrel, the whole process only needs a little force to fix the hook and press the button, and the rate of fire of the hunting tiger becomes quite fast.The commander of the Stalker is also an old friend, Second Lieutenant O'Brien. Today's Stalkers are not powerful enough, and many of them have already been sent to be converted into large rocket launchers.

This morning, they received information that the American convoy seemed to appear on the Abel Highway.Fafnir decided to drive the tank to reconnaissance, and if possible to teach the Americans a lesson, and at the same time, the Tiger and the Stalker were dispatched together.

At noon, the three of them arrived at the 4-kilometer Abel Highway.The hunting tiger found a lowland and began to camouflage itself with bushes, and the hunter drove a little closer to the road to hide.Only Fafnir's No. 223 "Lynx" drove directly to the road. He didn't see any traces of the Americans along the way. It seemed that it was probably just a wrong information. "It's better to wait for an hour before going back." Fife Neil thought, he ordered the two wing cars to stop and stand by, and he drove the car to a place not far from the road and began to camouflage. The three cars formed a scalene triangle, pointing at the road quietly. wait.

It seemed that it was going to be an hour, and the Allied planes were coming and going in the sky, but they didn't see the appearance of these three German tanks, and Fafnir and the others didn't see any traces of the Yankees' ground troops, but if they boarded the Allied planes today They flew frequently, and it was difficult for them to leave for a while, so they decided to wait until it was dark before going back. After contacting the troops by radio, their superiors approved their actions.

At 4 p.m., the sound of an engine was heard in the distance on the road.The people on the three chariots immediately lifted their spirits. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no scout vehicles approaching and there were no Allied planes in the sky, Fafnir jumped out of the tank and climbed up a small slope nearby to watch with binoculars—about More than 100 American tanks and more than [-] trucks are marching along the highway.He quickly returned to the tank and asked the two assault guns to be ready to fire after his tank launched an assault, giving priority to attacking the American tanks that opened the way and fell.

After another half an hour, the vanguard of the United States finally drove within visual distance. They swaggered forward, and the markings on the car should be the troops of the [-]st Infantry Division of the United States. They broke through the Germans just a few days ago. The front line of defense is the time to be complacent.

The nearest Fafnir is two kilometers away from the road, and it is a scorched grove. It is difficult for the e50 to hide among the criss-crossed logs, and the hunting tiger and the stalker It was farther away, and the Americans did not notice them at all.

"Start! Start the assault!" Fafnir gave an order in a low voice!The sound of the American engine on the road covered the sound of the e50's starting engine, but it was impossible to hide the figure of the e50-the Americans immediately discovered the German tank that started to attack.But at this moment, the Jaeger started shooting just right, and the first shell hit the leading American M4 tank and destroyed it.The American m26 hurriedly turned the turret to try to aim at the e50. At this time, the stalker also opened fire. The shells tore a truck into pieces, but after all, it was the "Big Red Division" of the Americans. The soldiers did not panic. The battle formation began a counterattack. More than 20 American tanks had no time to turn around and attack Fafnir, who was rushing over. The American m26 tanks on the side of Fafnir's assault began to turn and shoot first.Fafnir is an old bird. An emergency stop emptied the American artillery fire, and at the same time his short stop shot turned an m26 into scrap iron.After installing the loading machine, the hunting tiger fired faster than Fafnir's 105 guns. It only took a few minutes to turn 3 American tanks into scrap iron, and Fafnir gave full play to his ace In his true colors, he used his premonition ability to evade the American shells, and the counterattack was extremely sharp. Every shell would inevitably cause damage to American tanks.The stalkers concentrated on attacking the American trucks and infantry, and soon even the hunting tigers drove close to the road to attack. After just 10 minutes, Fafnir and his wingmen retreated, in order to avoid the Allies Revenge of the Air Force...

The Abel Highway turned into a hell of fire and flesh, littered with wrecked tanks and trucks, and surviving wounded American soldiers groaning among the scrap metal.Everything was recorded by the cameras of American military reporters.Olson was a reporter accompanying the army. He jumped out of the car and began to take pictures as soon as the battle began. The photo faithfully records the three German murderers, who are less than 50 meters away from him. The turret is turned to 90 degrees to shoot the e50 tank. The No. 223 and the tiger skull pattern on the side of the turret are clearly visible; the side and the huge battle are exposed far away. the tiger in the chamber; the vague little stalker.

The battle was over, the Americans lost 21 tanks and 45 trucks, and the reputation of "Skull Tiger" was also spread among the Americans.After the war, Fafnir embarked on the road to Belarus, while Dornberger and O'Brien continued to fight on the French front.That is, 7 days later, in the battle on the Belgian border, when Dornberger's hunting tiger was doing its best to turn the distant Allied tanks into scrap metal one by one, the Allied tanks took advantage of the superiority in numbers , surrounded by other German tanks.A British Firefly rushed to a place only 400 meters away from the Liehu. At this time, the Liehu exposed his side. The Firefly's 17-pound gun aimed at the side of the Liehu and fired a shot, although the Firefly was immediately hit. The Panther that came up was smashed into scrap iron, but the 17-pound shell hit the target after all.

The Tiger was hit, the loader died on the spot, the commander and the gunner were both injured and lost consciousness, but fortunately the ammunition was not detonated, the driver immediately began to retreat at this time, the Panther and other German tanks on one side were repelling the Allied forces. After the army's offensive, the rescue of the hunting tiger also began.Dornberger was lucky to survive, but he was seriously injured - a ball was cut off by shrapnel, and the whole person fell into a coma until he woke up 3 days later.After spending 3 months recuperating from his injuries, he retired. He finally saved his life and went back to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart.
