Chapter 1178: Spitfire Tanks (Plus 2)

"The resistance of the Soviets is a bit strong. These fortifications are emerging one after another, which is really annoying." The artillery commander beside Karjus complained after retreating from the front line.

Inside their tanks, 20 rounds of high-explosive grenades were empty, and the remaining armor-piercing rounds were of little value against those fortifications, so they had to withdraw from the battle.

It was already dawn, and the city was full of the sound of firefights. During the last attack, they also encountered an anti-tank gun pushed by the Soviets, although they finally killed the anti-tank gun, which was on their armor. , leaving a crater.

This made them a little angry.

After retreating more than 100 meters, in a small square behind, the fuel trucks and ammunition trucks were ready. The tanks began to refuel and reload quickly. At the same time, after fighting for so long, everyone's stomach was full. Hungry cooing.

Just when they were holding the field rations and were about to take a few bites, a new team of tanks rumbled up. These tanks were exactly the same as theirs, belonging to a modification of the Black Panther 3, but Karjus After taking a look, he immediately became excited: "Now, the Soviets have good fruit to eat."

"What do you mean?" the new gunner asked in confusion.

"These new tanks we have installed are fire tanks." Karjus said: "You didn't notice the fire ports on the turrets just now, right? The barrels are fake. This is a weapon we use exclusively for street fighting."

All of a sudden, there were smiles on everyone's faces, and the fire-breathing tank gave the Soviets a taste of it!

The idea of ​​the Spitfire tank has long been established. On the battlefield in Poland, the Spitfire tank refitted from the German Panther 3 burned the Poles to the brink. This tank has been proven to have good combat capabilities in actual combat. , and then put into production.

At the beginning, the production of the Black Panther 3 was limited, and it was to be used by the main battle troops. The production of this special tank was scarce, but later, with the production of this kind of tank in the factories in France and the United Kingdom, the output has been greatly improved, so , This modified street fighting weapon has also been produced and equipped in an organic manner.

At this time, the tank soldiers inside were also extremely excited. They listened to the sound of the engine at the rear, observed the front through the observation hole, and soon came to the area where the fire was exchanged.

Because of the loss of the help of the tanks, the machine gun position on the opposite street corner was shooting frantically at this time. It was the position of a Markqin water-cooled heavy machine gun. That heavy machine gun blocked an entire platoon of Germans. Infantry advancement.

At this point, they were so suppressed that they couldn't lift their heads.

The rumbling sound from the back sounded, and they suddenly became happy, the tank came, the tank came again!

Street fighting is cruel. The close cooperation between infantry and tanks can greatly reduce losses. Almost all German soldiers have undergone special training. Now, when they see the tanks coming, they also want to follow the tanks to advance, but the tanks' The turret hatch opened immediately, and the commander shouted loudly: "Pay attention to the wind direction and keep a distance of more than five meters."

Then he put the lid back on, leaving a mess of infantry, what's going on?

Keep a distance of more than five meters and pay attention to the wind direction?

Only the platoon leader suddenly came to his senses, and immediately put a smile on his face: "There's a good show here, let's follow behind, by the way, the east side of the tank, stay away from the tank, it's the west wind now."

They followed behind the tank and slowly advanced towards the front. At this time, the heavy machine guns that had just stopped, saw their charge, and began to shoot intensively again.

Suddenly, a small hole in the front of the turret of this tank sprayed out a long liquid, a viscous liquid, showing a pale red color, and a volatilized gasoline could be smelled in the air. Taste, a second later, this liquid column, starting from the tank's position, burned fiery and turned into a column of fire.

The fire-breathing tank shows its might.

Because of the west wind, the fire column was bending slightly to the east, but the turret turned around, and the fire dragon, burning like this, swept toward the machine gun position.

The gunfire had stopped, and the Soviet soldiers shouted in horror, ran out of it, and ran back quickly, but it was no use, and after a second or two, the fire dragon arrived.

The column of fire swept the machine gunner's body. In an instant, the machine gunner's whole body was surrounded by fire. He screamed and struggled in the fire. It took a few seconds before he fell to the ground and continued to struggle a few times. , doesn't move.

There was a smell of barbecue in the air.

The rest of the machine gunners were also scorched, and the battlefield suddenly calmed down.

This time, the fire was sprayed for only five seconds, killing an enemy in a machine gun position. Compared with the ordinary tank just now, it did not have much lethality. However, the consequences were quite considerable.

At the back of the street, the Soviet soldiers gave up their resistance, ran out of their hiding places, and retreated quickly towards the rear.

Nobody wants to be burned.

If they were shot and died, maybe they could hold on for a while. Since they were soldiers, their lives were not theirs. But if you get hit, you can at least leave a whole corpse, and the pain won't last long.

Being burned to death is different. This kind of terrifying scene scares everyone who sees it. After all, they are also human beings.

They didn't want to be burned, they had to retreat.

In the back, the German soldiers followed up quickly and pushed forward all the way. With the assistance of the fire-breathing tanks, they were simply invincible and invincible.

Originally, the defenders in the city were not very imposing, and they all depended on the orders of their superiors to suppress them. When the German Spitfire tanks came up, the orders would be ineffective at all. At this time, unless a supervising team was arranged in the back, the retreating people died, otherwise There was no way to stop their retreat.

The Spitfire tanks were in front, and the infantrymen followed behind, block after block, just like that.

When they were about to attack the city center, suddenly, tanks appeared on the opposite street!

"No, the opponent's tank, retreat quickly!" the commander shouted loudly.

Spitfire tanks are very powerful against infantry, but it is different when they encounter enemy tanks. Especially, among the Soviet tanks, there is also the existence of a terrible Stalin tank, which has strong protection and fierce firepower. , only Tiger tanks can fight them.

If the fire-breathing tank wears composite armor, it can block it. Now, in the case of streaking, let it go.

It seems that reinforcements from the Soviets are coming.
