The Third Reich

Chapter 718: Ambush circle

"Run, run." Locke yelled to his driver while turning the turret.

They encountered it head-on just now, with the turret in front, but now, they began to retreat, the turret turned half a circle, and when they reached the rear, Locke continued to concentrate.

In this era without ballistic computers, bistable systems, cross-wind sensors, and laser rangefinders, it would be unthinkable to shoot from action to action. However, if you have a continuous fire weapon in your hand, it is It's another scene.

"Tom Tom Tom!" The 40mm Bofors tank gun fired continuously, and shells poured out toward the crusaders tanks that were pursuing them!

This fire force abruptly made the opponent afraid to approach, and at the same time, the speed of this scout car finally got up.

The diesel engine at the rear was roaring, black smoke kept coming out, and every time it stopped suddenly, it was raising a gear.

If you compare speed, tracked tanks will never compare to wheeled tanks!

The british cruise tank can reach the limit of more than 60 kilometers per hour in the desert, but it is possible for the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle to reach 70 or 80 kilometers per hour!

What they need is this process of speeding up.

The roar of the diesel engine was deafening. As the gears were continuously increased, the speed of the car was also accelerating. At the same time, the roar of artillery shells continued to be heard around him.

None of the 57mm tank shells hit them, the most recent ones were more than ten meters away! This action-to-action shooting is simply a waste of ammunition.

Locke only delayed the opponent's actions just now. Now that he saw that his armored car had accelerated, he also gave up firing.

Getting back into the car, Locke shouted to his radio operator: "How is it? How is it? Has the battalion commander been contacted?"

"We got in touch. The battalion commander is arranging pockets. In area 37, we are required to attract the tank units behind so that the battalion commander will be able to wipe them out." The radio operator shouted.

Their reconnaissance vehicle, also belonging to the 66th tank battalion, was first unloaded when disembarking the ship, and it started hurricaneously. They didn't even wait for the reconnaissance vehicle, all Panther 3 tanks.

After the battle was over, the troops from the rear were also coming one after another, and the reconnaissance vehicles, supply vehicles, and cooking vehicles belonging to the tank battalion rushed behind.

Now, the entire tank battalion is supplying supplies and eating at the same time, while the reconnaissance vehicles are released to expand the area of ​​reconnaissance. In this way, they discovered that the British had suddenly dispatched their main armored force!

After receiving the radio message, Karl-Maus immediately issued an order. A tank company was urgently pulled out and ran to area 37 to arrange the pockets. At the same time, the other tanks remained in the original camp, waiting to be accepted. The British attack.

Teach the British well and let them know how powerful the German armored forces are!

During their time on the ship, the commanders of the entire armored force were almost studying the map, with dense markings on it, and the corners of the map were worn out, indicating that they had studied the map deeply.

The No. 37 area is near Tubrug. Their camp is about fifteen kilometers away, with soil slopes on three sides. It is an ideal place for tanks to conceal and fire from behind to fight an ambush.

After receiving the order, the tanks of the 3rd Tank Company rushed over, and the company commander Serg Varin shouted to his subordinates: "Hurry up, keep it hidden, the British are coming soon! "

Good concealment!

They drove to the back of the soil **** and turned the barrel of the black hole towards the flat ground in the middle. Some people even collected some dead branches from the side and placed them on top of the tank.

The engine has been turned off to prevent the black smoke from being discovered by the enemy. At this time, the sun is setting west, and the whole land has turned orange, as if it were blood.

Company Commander Varin squatted beside his tank and looked into the distance with his binoculars. Soon, on the horizon, he saw a puff of black smoke.

This is a rally! Seeing Varui couldn't help but praise him.

The one running in the forefront is your own wheeled reconnaissance vehicle. The rider of this reconnaissance vehicle has also tried their best. You can see that the car is flying from time to time!

In the back, there are some tanks carrying small gun barrels. The five pairs of road wheels are bumping up and down with the rapid advance, and you can see that the opponent is also exhausting.

The black smoke of the engine kept coming out from behind.

"Ready, let the British know how good we are, steel core armor-piercing bullets, reload!"

The engine has been turned off, and now it almost only relies on battery power. For this reason, the tanker even has to crank the barrel to advance the barrel, and only wait for the opponent to enter his field of view, then he can fire!

The 88mm tank barrel is aimed at the open space in front, and the tank commanders are all waiting excitedly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ accelerate, accelerate! "The roar of the company commander kept ringing on the radio, looking at the armored car, right in front of him, but he couldn't catch up!

The throttle was already down, and the driver was helpless. Just when he was about to continue to work harder, suddenly, the meter pointer in front of him shook, and at the same time, a warning light came on.

His foot was released from the accelerator.

"What's going on? How did you slow down?" The company commander slapped the armor next to him and shouted loudly.

"The engine is overheating, we can't continue to start." The driver shouted.

In order to be refreshed, they dismantled the engine's speed limiter and caused the tank to speed up to more than 60 kilometers per hour. Of course, this has a price!

Why speed limit? Why reduce power? It is because the engine does not dissipate heat! This was originally an aero engine. In the sky, the temperature is low, but when used on the ground, the temperature is higher, and when used in the desert, the temperature is even higher!

All the way I was just happy, but now the engine is hot!

If you continue to start, the next step is to pull the cylinder, and then the engine will be scrapped!

If it is the old man who drives the tank, he will not care about anything, even if the water tank is leaking, he dare to drive and go, but now, British soldiers are still very principled.

The engine is hot and cannot be turned off immediately, so the cooling system does not work. Release the gear and let the engine idle. The driver will operate in an orderly manner in accordance with the prescribed process.

This tank stopped.

The other tanks also stopped, half a catty, their tanks, the water temperature is also high, the engine is overheated! As a result, they could only watch the wheeled armored vehicle continue to escape, but could do nothing.

German equipment, long-term operation, is not afraid of high temperature?
