The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Under normal circumstances, what Colonel Smith said is indeed correct... because there are only a few types of equipment that can deal with tanks, such as aircraft, tanks, and anti-tank guns.

Of course, in addition, there are anti-tank grenades, explosive packs and the like.

However, if you want to have anti-tank grenades and explosive packets to blow up tanks, you will inevitably pay huge casualties under the firepower of the British army, and these are precisely what the German army does not have.

So Colonel Smith believed that this battle was almost certain, and the Germans would soon raise their hands under the muzzles of the British tanks.

A row of artillery shells roared in, and the few anti-tanks of the German paratroopers were immediately blown up and broken into parts.

Paratroopers equipped with anti-tank guns are actually useless...

It won't work if you don't equip it. It is a weapon that can attack enemy tanks from a long distance.

Equipment, it also has problems such as being heavy and difficult to move, seriously affecting the logistics of paratroopers.

Even the German army must choose between PAK36 and PAK38.

If there is no doubt that the PAK38 should be chosen in terms of firepower and penetration, but the total weight of the PAK38 is more than 800 kilograms. This weight is not something that a few soldiers can push around, and the paratroopers do not have cars to tow, so the PAK38 The maneuver must be dismantled and then temporarily assembled and put into battle when it is to be used.

There is almost no such opportunity on the battlefield. Just like now, several German PAK38s were blown up before they had time to play their role.

This greatly boosted the morale of the British soldiers who were outflanking them... The destruction of the German anti-tank guns almost meant that the British troops with tanks were invincible, so they confidently followed the tanks and advanced step by step towards the Germans.

"Iron Fist!" Qin Chuan ordered loudly.

Werner responded and rushed forward with several German soldiers.

This is an anti-tank team formed by the German army based on previous training experience... Each anti-tank team consists of three people. The team leader holds an "iron fist" and is responsible for fighting tanks. The team members have two members, each carrying an "iron fist". Iron Fist" for the team leader to use, while holding a submachine gun and carrying five grenades to provide cover for the team leader.

Of course, the anti-tank team will not rush directly towards the tank, as that is almost the same as seeking death... There is actually a safer way to get close to the tank, which is to hide in the crater and wait for the tank to drive up.

At this time, attention should be paid to the fire cover of the anti-tank group, because the British army may have discovered the anti-tank group hiding in the crater and suppressed them.

However, this is not a difficult problem for the German army. Collaboration is also the German army's strength.

The 50MM mortar fired shells one after another, making the British troops hiding behind the tanks miserable. The sniper rifle in Qin Chuan's hand also fired bullets one after another, making the British troops afraid to stick their heads out and shoot.

Of course, part of this is that the British army believes that there is no need to compete with the German army for a while... As long as they keep advancing with the tanks, it will only be a matter of time before the German defense line collapses.

But things were not as simple as the British army thought, because at this time the German army had already equipped an anti-tank weapon... the "Iron Fist".

With a "bang", Qin Chuan knocked a British soldier to the ground.

The British soldier was a 2-inch mortar gunner. He was trying to shoot the shell into the crater where Werner was hiding, but before he could fire a shell, the bullet fired by the Qinchuan rifle made it impossible for him to fire any more. Complete this mission.

Seeing that the distance was close, Qin Chuan ordered: "Send the signal!"

Keller, who was lying next to Qinchuan, immediately blew the whistle in his mouth... This was telling Werner that the enemy tank had entered his range, which was within 30 meters.

Almost at the same time, machine guns and 50MM mortars fired hard at the British tanks... Of course they could not pose a threat to the "Matilda" tank. These firepower only provided fire cover for the anti-tank team.

Then, Werner took advantage of this moment to stand up suddenly with the "Iron Fist" in his hand, and pressed several launch buttons with a quick aim.

With a "expanding" sound, the "Iron Fist" accurately hit the front armor of the tank and emitted a line of green smoke... This green smoke could be described as insignificant compared to the surrounding smoke and dust, so that the German soldiers were a little agitated. I don't believe how much damage this can do to the tank.

But the tank slowly stopped after advancing for a certain distance, and then a plume of black smoke came out from the rear and soon caught fire... It was obvious that the metal jet ignited something inside after penetrating the tank armor and then ignited again. tank engine.

The German soldiers couldn't help but cheer. This was the first time the German army used the "Iron Fist" to destroy an enemy tank. This proved that the "Iron Fist" was effective.

The British soldiers were a little baffled. They didn't see clearly what destroyed the tank. Many people even thought it was a malfunction of the "Matilda"... The engine overheated and caught fire in "Matilda". "Not uncommon on tanks.

So the British army continued to advance towards the German army under the cover of tanks, completely ignoring the "warning" just now.

One thing that is certain is that "Matilda" is a good target for "Iron Fist" because it moves very slowly, like a snail crawling slowly with a heavy shell on its back... This gives "Iron Fist" has more chances to destroy it.

Otherwise, if it is a "General Grant" tank with a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour or even a "Stuart" tank with a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour... it will already be out of range before it enters the 30-meter range of the "Iron Fist" before it can be urgently aimed. Outside.

So, there was only a "boom" explosion, and the "Matilda" tanks stopped one after another. There was even one tank whose ammunition was detonated from the inside by a metal jet, and there was only a "boom" sound. There was a loud noise, and the entire tank turned into a ball of fire, and the British infantry following it was also killed and injured.

Only then did the British army realize that the situation was not good, but they had never thought that such a situation would happen and they did not know how to face it, so they hoped to break through quickly with the few remaining tanks...

But this attempt was quickly crushed by the "Iron Fist".

The German paratroopers were equipped with two hundred "Iron Fists", which were enough to stop the attack of dozens of "Matilda" tanks. However, the total number of British tanks was only thirteen, and these tanks were divided into two groups. share.

"What's going on!" Colonel Smith asked angrily when he saw the British tanks stopped: "Why don't they move forward?"

Colonel Smith still didn't know that those tanks had been blown up. After all, many of the destroyed tanks looked nothing unusual.

"Colonel!" At this time, the signal soldier reported: "Major John reported that all our tanks have been destroyed!"

"What? This is impossible!" Colonel Smith said: "What did they use to destroy our tanks?!"

However, reality is reality. Even if Colonel Smith did not believe it, none of the first tanks of the British army to rush forward had survived.
