New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Arthur pulled up the plane, and behind him were two Leopards, two No. [-] Hs, a Rhino, three Opel [-]-ton trucks, and three half-track vehicles, all burning.

"It's so enjoyable, it's like hunting deer in Yellowstone! Damn Nazis, go back to hell!" Arthur's machine gunner Abraham shouted excitedly.Abraham, well, you can tell he's a Jew just by the name.Hitler's various persecutions of the Jews in Europe made this Jew who grew up in the United States unable to sit still, so he signed up for the army and became a backseat machine gunner.

Arthur smiled and shook his head. His machine gunner is good at everything, but sometimes it is too noisy.He controlled the plane to continue to climb, and then continued to search along the road.Arthur knew that these tanks were moving towards Caen overnight last night.And they all use their own motorized marching method.With such a long march, even if it is a tank like the American M-4 Sherman tank, which is known for its low breakdown and durability, there will definitely be many breakdowns due to breakdowns.Especially those big guys, such as Tiger tanks.

Arthur had heard many times about the German Tiger tanks from other units.It is said that in North Africa, that thing beat the shit out of the American Sherman (M4 Sherman tank, because the cast turret looks like a big steamed bun).So that when some guys mention the Germans, they immediately think of Tiger tanks.

The reaction of other troops also made Arthur eager to destroy this super tank.However, after flying along the road for a while, I saw something like a truck stuck in a bomb crater and unable to get out.For this kind of thing, as long as a burst of 20 guns is fired, they can be burned blazingly.A few times, when the planes flew over, there were German soldiers beside the trucks trying to get them out of the craters.As soon as they heard the sound of the propellers, they scattered in all directions, some hid in the woods, and some jumped directly into the gutter on the side of the road.Arthur has no interest in firing at such targets, but his machine gunner Abraham is different. He kept greeting the mothers or grandmothers of the Germans, and frantically fired at them with his m2 machine gun. They rained bullets so much that Arthur even had to remind him to save the bullets. "In case we encounter a German fighter, don't tell me you're out of bullets."

After such a warning, Abraham became more honest. Of course, he would still shoot if he had the chance, but he would stop after one or two short bursts at most.

"What's that?" Just in front of Arthur, a big guy Arthur had never seen before appeared on the road.

This is a huge tank, in terms of appearance, it looks like a leopard.At first Arthur did think it was a leopard, but as the distance got closer, Arthur immediately discovered that this thing was bigger than a leopard.

"Dude!" Arthur said. "I'm sure this guy is at least the size of two M4 tanks. What the hell is this?"

"King Tiger tank!" replied Abraham in the back seat. "Our men encountered it in Italy."

Arthur raised the plane, then swooped down, and fired at the top armor of the King Tiger tank that was abandoned here because of a malfunction with a 37mm gun.The armor of the King Tiger is very strong, especially the front of the turret, which is said to have never been hit through, but, like any tank, the thickness of his top armor is very thin. The tungsten armor-piercing incendiary projectile fired by the 37mm gun easily penetrated its top armor and ignited it into a big torch.

Arthur proudly circled the burning King Tiger a few times, took several photos from several angles with a camera gun, and then continued to search along the road.Just then, there was a loud noise from behind.Arthur looked back and found that the King Tiger had just been martyred, and the entire turret was blown up.

……

While Arthur was searching for the German army along the road from Caen to Falaise, and was constantly destroying German tanks and vehicles that failed to enter the hiding place or broke down due to malfunctions, at the Allied Command, Ron also I am presenting my judgment on the battle situation to those higher-ranking commanders.

"Since sunrise today, our attack aircraft have been hunting along the roads leading to Caen. By about 10 o'clock in the morning, our attack aircraft have destroyed a total of 87 targets, including 36 trucks , 12 half-track vehicles, 15 towed artillery pieces, 7 Panzer IV tanks, 1 Tiger tank, 6 Leopard tanks, 4 King Tiger tanks, and 6 various assault guns. Most of these vehicles are in It was destroyed by us when it broke down because of a malfunction. This shows that a large number of German armored troops were moving towards Caen last night. With so many armored troops being moved near Caen, their purpose can be imagined.

I think that Rommel might very much want to launch a large-scale counterattack in the early hours of the morning, and get a guy to knock us into the sea.I think we should concentrate our heavy bombers in the afternoon and carpet bomb the positions most likely to harbor enemy tanks.We should be laying mines on the road to the beach before nightfall.After nightfall, there will be some changes in the weather, and there will be more clouds in the sky, and the height of the cloud feet is only 2000 meters high.This will have some adverse effects on our operations.But it's not impossible to act.Our bombers have to constantly drop flares and bombs on several major roads to interfere with the enemy's actions.And tomorrow, my striker will carry heavy fuel-air bombs to attack German armor that may appear. "

……

Wittmann's Tiger tank is now parked in a forest, and the world's number one tank ace is sitting on a rock not more than [-] meters away from his tank, with his head held high, looking through the The gap between the branches and leaves above the head, looking at the sky.His loader, Gunther Webb, was standing not far from him, kicking the grass blades on the ground in boredom.

They are old partners for many years and have won many honors together in the Soviet Union.This time they came to the Western Front together to fight the Allies.

The official tank battle has not yet begun, but the difference between the Western Front and the Eastern Front has already become apparent.On the Eastern Front, the most formidable opponent is the enemy's anti-tank guns first, and the second most formidable opponent is the Russian tanks and artillery.And here, there will be no too strong opponents on the ground. The Allied forces do not have too powerful heavy tanks. In a pure tank battle, neither American tanks nor British tanks are opponents of Tiger tanks. .Of course, they can still pose a threat to him, such as those "Firefly" tanks equipped with 17-pound guns, and they must not be taken lightly.After all, his tank is not a King Tiger, and it doesn't have that abnormally thick armor.It would be very dangerous to let the 17-pound gun hit it.

However, Wittman doesn't like Tiger King either. In his opinion, it's better to call this thing Leopard King.This is not to say that he looks too much like a leopard, but rather, his reliability is like that of a leopard, no, worse than that of a leopard.If his car was a King Tiger, it probably would have been abandoned on the road last night.Yes, the difference in air power is what matters.Although the Russian Black Death is very powerful, but because of its limited range, they can not prevent the Germans from gathering troops.But the Americans are different. Not to mention the four-engine heavy bomber, even the twin-engine PA-38 also has the range required to launch attacks from far and deep.This also made the season speed of the German armored units start to be horribly slow.

At this time, there was a tremor in the air, and then the tremor gradually became more obvious.It ended up being a roar of engines and propellers.At this time, the sound of air defense sirens came from a distance.

"Enemy bombers! Go into the air-raid shelter!" Wittman shouted to Gunther? Webb, and at the same time he stood up and ran towards a hole not far away.

This forest is actually a starting position for the Germans that has been prepared for a long time.So the facilities are quite complete. For example, there is a solid air-raid shelter here.

Wittmann and Gunther Webb ran into the hole, and the heavy steel gates closed behind them.Everything outside is blocked from the gate.

……

300 Lancaster bombers, lined up in neat formation, flew towards this forest.In front of these Lancaster bombers, there are 12 Mosquito bombers who will first drop bombs on the target area and lead the bombers to carpet bomb the target.

"Here it is!" George Best was the pilot of a Mosquito bomber, "Get ready...to drop the bomb!"

Following George, 12 Mosquito bombers quickly dropped their bombs.Then those lumbering Lancasters also entered the bombing route.Compared with the American b-17, the British Lancaster bomber is particularly ugly.When it comes to self-defense firepower, he can't compare with the b-17 sky fortress.But this bomber has an unparalleled advantage: a large bomb load.In his magazine alone, he can carry 9.97 tons of bombs.Britain's proximity to Caen meant that the Lancaster bombers did not need to carry as much fuel.The reduction in fuel also means that it can carry more bombs.

One minute after the Mosquito bomber dropped the bomb, the Lancaster bomber also opened its magazine and began to drop bombs, and the string of bombs began to roar down.
