Four Hundred and Seventeenth Chaos in the Woods

It is not that the British have no armored troops near Norwich. On the contrary, they have an armored brigade deployed in Norwich. ∷This is also an important reason why Montgomery boldly placed the only armored army in his hands south of London.

However, the armored brigade was still unable to reach the beach to stop the German landing forces until the morning of the next day. The main reason was that this brigade was bombed most intensively by the Luftwaffe.

The British Norwich Armored Brigade, baptized by Stuka and Stuka-type attack aircraft, lost one-half of its strength. Lacking anti-aircraft weapons, they struggled on the road and barely advanced to the designated position until last night. combat position.

A small-scale tank encounter that followed gave the lack of training to the British Norwich Armored Brigade. record. They then advanced along the fairway and were forced to go on the defensive at dawn.

"The two tanks of the 5th Light Armored Division lost contact not far from this road?" Wittman narrowed his eyes and put down the binoculars in his hand, and asked the armored reconnaissance vehicle on the side while pressing the throat sounder. long.

A clear answer came from the headset: "Yes, they were responsible for scouting forward and consolidating the defensive position here, but obviously these two idiots underestimated the enemy..."

"Since they have underestimated the enemy, let's not follow their old ways." Wittman glanced at the combat map spread out at his elbow, frowned and thought for a while, and then changed the communication channel: "Mr. Excuse me, let's weave around behind these bushes and see what's on either side of the road."

Wittman has been through battles for a long time, so he will not be as rash as a novice. He carefully looked at the terrain on both sides of the road, and after contacting the two tanks that lost contact, he deduced a general idea.

Two tanks were destroyed, obviously not something the British infantry could do. However, no news was sent back and no one fled back, indicating that the time interval between the destruction of the two tanks was not long. Only the British armored forces can do this, and there are definitely a lot of them. Of course, they did not meet, because after all, no matter how stupid the German tanks were, they would not confront a large number of tanks on the road, so there was only one possibility left—British tanks were ambushing on both sides of the road.

Wittman is used to calling his tank driver "Mr. Driver". Following his order, the tank with the number 007 knocked down a few short bushes and drove from the open to the nearby woodland.

Walking slowly on a forest path, Wittmann leaned on the captain's hatch and stared at the foggy distance, wondering what he was thinking. He hated the fog, which deprived the Tiger tank of its powerful 88mm long-barreled cannon from its range advantage.

Just when he felt that the atmosphere was not right with his intuition, he found a young soldier in a British armored vehicle staring at him stupidly not far away. The two people reacted almost at the same time, Wittman got into the turret and shouted and began to order the tank turret to aim at the target,

At the same time, the British scout was turning the turret of the armored vehicle.

"Boom!" The Tiger tank shot out, turning the British armored reconnaissance vehicle not far away into scrap metal. And as the Tiger tank continued to move forward, one after another British tanks appeared in the Tiger tank's field of vision.

The fronts of these American m3lee tanks are all facing the direction of the road, and the vulnerable sides are just exposed to Wittmann's Tiger tanks. The most important thing is that except for the first British tank which is slowly turning the turret, the rest of the tanks seem to have no intention of moving.

Seeing this situation, Wittmann immediately gave up his plan to retreat, and the heart that wanted to overtake Rennes beat the fastest rhythm: "Accelerate forward! Aim at the first tank! Fire! There is no need to ask for instructions for the heading machine gun. , hit the target when you see it!"

"Boom!" The Tiger tank fired the second shell of the day, directly piercing the side armor of a British tank, then hitting the engine, igniting the gasoline inside, and then passing through the armor on the other side , and then broke through the side armor of the second tank again before barely stopping.

The first tank and the second tank exploded violently, turning into a huge flame in an instant. The turrets were lifted into the sky, hit the big trees not far away, and broke many branches of the big trees.

The Tiger tank continued to move forward, and then stopped suddenly at an appropriate position, followed by a shell flying out of the muzzle, piercing the first British tank, and it is ridiculous that these tanks hiding in the woods to avoid German bombers actually There was still no movement, and it seemed that the prisoners were standing in a row waiting to be executed.

Wittman didn't have time to think about it. He preferred to believe that it was his own arrogance that made these British tanks dare not move, so he just kept yelling the words stop and fire.

This time I really made a fortune. Wittmann thought to himself. He has always envied Rennes the opportunity to face dozens of tanks in France alone, and now he has finally waited for the patronage of the goddess of luck and accomplished his glorious journey.

"Boom!" Another British tank was smashed into scrap iron. The German tanks had already destroyed 10 tanks, but the British still failed to counterattack the Wittmann crew. Even Witt Man himself felt that this could not be explained by luck.

At this time, Wittmann and his crew knew why these British tanks did not respond to how they were slaughtered. Because he saw in the commander's observation window that the British tank crews in the distance were running towards the remaining tanks behind.

"Haha! They are resting? Are they not in the car?" Wittmann shouted excitedly: "Stop them from boarding the car, we are among them!" He couldn't help being unhappy, and now his Tiger tank was separated from the British tank Between the crew and their tank, everything seemed to favor the German Tiger.

The slaughter continued, and the heading machine gun in front of the Tiger tank began to shoot out dazzling flames. One after another, the British tankers were knocked down to the ground. There was a hail of bullets between them and the tank.

At this time Wittmann realized that they were actually in the middle of two rows of British vehicles, one row was a tank close to the public, and the other row was a large number of armored vehicles and cars. Just when Wittmann was shocked that he had broken into the middle of a large British army, his tank had already destroyed the 15th tank.

The British obviously didn't expect German tanks to turn around from the side of the road. They deployed alert armored vehicles on both sides and defensive tanks on both sides of the road, so they swaggered and let the remaining personnel go to camp to rest.

Moreover, these British troops failed to figure out the scale of the German attack. They heard a series of explosions and did not know which direction the shells were coming from, nor did they know whether it was the bombing of the plane or the shelling of the enemy. . The order given by the head of the British Norwich Armored Brigade who was dizzy was even dumbfounding: he ordered the troops to return to the tank and then retreat 2 kilometers.

In fact, the British divided the armored vehicles into four rows along the road, with two rows on each side of the road. Tanks were ambushing along the road, and armored vehicles and cars were behind the group farther from the road. What Wittmann was slaughtering was only some of the tanks of the Norwich Armored Brigade parked on the public side.

"Boom!" Wittmann's tank opened fire again, knocking off the turret of another British tank. This is already the 22nd British tank they shot into the air in just ten minutes. Unfortunately, the British People still haven't been able to organize an effective counterattack. If there are no accidents, Wittmann will soon break the tank killing record of 23 tanks in a single battle set by Rennes in the Battle of the Pass.

"We can't penetrate this British armored force anymore! They have more tanks and vehicles, at least one regiment! They are at least one regiment! We have to retreat! We must retreat!" Although Wittmann was eager to kill, he still He did not forget his situation. He knew that once the other party reacted, even if he had a head and six arms, he would be beaten to death in this nameless woods, so he shouted into the communicator, and at the same time gave an order to his crew to retreat: "From here Go back on one side! We must return to our position! Quick!"

At the same time he shouted the order, a British crew was also grabbing the radio in his hand and shouting loudly: "The Germans only have one tank! Stop him! Stop him! It's not shelling, it's bombing! It's the Germans. Attack! They only have one tank! Damn it! Who will stop him!"

Of course, today's good luck belongs to Wittmann, and it also belongs to the No. 007 Tiger tank in Germany. muzzle range.

"Boom!" The Tiger tank that just stopped and was turning did not miss this opportunity. A single shot penetrated the front armor of the first tank, turning the poor guy that had just started into a wreck. The thick smoke blocked the view of the tank behind, and Wittmann's tank also took advantage of the situation to complete a U-turn. The Tiger tank calmly circled around the queue of armored vehicles and cars on the other side, and launched a new attack. A round of slaughter.

The machine gun hit the oil drums behind the car, turning the fuel into a deadly explosive, and the British soldiers hid under the flames and the machine guns of the Tiger tanks, like rats crossing the street, Wittmann While escaping, adding new records to his tank, a new god of tank war is creating his new myth step by step.
