Chapter 1512 Bazooka's Attack
As soon as these words came out, Aiken's body was also shocked.
In fact, both of them knew very well in their hearts that they had a very small chance of surviving when they stepped forward and ambushed the German tanks. However, they were not afraid. They just wanted to kill the German tanks to prove their fighting courage.
Avenge Pearl Harbor, avenge America.
"Sure, just wait and see. Reload me quickly, and I can kill one more." Aiken said, sticking the bazooka out of the scorched ground outside, on the horizon in the distance. , There has been a cloud of black smoke, the ground is shaking, and the opponent's tank is coming up.
The German tank troops are arranged in the most common triangular offensive array, like a sharp knife, with Panther 3 tanks in the front and sides, and infantry fighting vehicles in the middle and rear of them, and the soldiers inside are ready to go. Can jump out of the car to fight, and use their own firepower to make up for the shortcomings of the tank's blind spot.
One by one, the triangular offensive arrays formed a one-kilometer-long offensive line, moving forward, and in front of them was the defense line of the Kalinin defenders.
The defenders consisted of soldiers, workers, and civilians, holding rifles in their own hands and earth-made Molotov cocktails, waiting for the final battle.
Several anti-tank guns, which had survived the shelling, were circling the pitted position and were pushed forward, ready to counterattack.
The Soviet positions are tragic. The battles in the past few days have left them no hope of victory. The positions a few kilometers ahead of them have been occupied by the Germans.
"Rumbling, booming." The German tanks were still advancing, their tracks screechingly turning, crushing the ground.
After advancing a few hundred meters, they stopped.
There is an anti-tank trench ahead.
Dig anti-tank trenches to block tanks. This is the most basic way. As long as the width of the trenches is more than half the length of the opponent's tank track, it can block German tanks.
In the non-stop excavation work day and night, all the citizens of Kalinin participated, and finally a long trench was dug. Unfortunately, in front of the Germans, their labor was doomed to be in vain.
After the offensive array stopped, the two Panther 3 tanks behind the side and rear of the triangular formation drove out. In front of the two tanks, temporary large shovels were installed.
Just like bulldozers, the two Panther 3 tanks smoked black smoke, shoveled the surrounding soil and pushed them into the trenches. In less than three minutes, the anti-tank trenches in front were filled.
After rejoining the team, the tank formation started again.
Heinz's tank is located in the center of the entire attacking queue, and his tank is the first one, which has the best view, and his tank turret is constantly turning left and right, observing the front in a fan-like manner. position, calculating where to unload the infantry.
Although the infantry will hide behind the tank, the bullets on the battlefield do not have eyes and will pass through the gap, posing a greater threat to the infantry. Therefore, when it is not necessary, the infantry stays in the armored vehicle behind, and it is more Assure.
"When you reach fifty meters before the position, the infantry will get out of the vehicle and fight." He finally gave the order.
The entire formation continued to move forward. At this time, the Soviet defense line was lonely and silent, as if all the defenders were killed by the shelling just now.
The vibration is getting more and more intense. Looking at the tank opposite in the crater, it is like a huge steel monster. The moving crawler is even more frightening.
Infantry fighting tanks, the first is to overcome fear.
And now, Aiken is not afraid.
He is just waiting for an opportunity. In theory, the bazooka in his hand can shoot a rocket 100 meters away, but the farther the distance, the worse the accuracy. Therefore, it is not good to fire at a long distance. Get close.
The opponent's tank is still moving, and Carl is a little anxious to his right. This dead brain, when are you going to fire? Wouldn't it be frightening? These Second Worlds just can't do it. They usually blow it a lot. Hmph, after this battle is over, let everyone know what the Second Worlds are!
The opponent's tank was still advancing, 100 meters, 90 meters, 80 meters, and finally, Aiken moved.
Standing on the crater, in a stance, just to show his head and shoulders, he held his breath, took aim, and pulled the trigger on the grip.
"Whoosh!" Just as he pulled the trigger, a flame of fire emerged from the bell mouth at the back. It was because of this bell mouth that the nickname of Bazooka was born, which is very similar to the musical instrument Bazooka. It's just too big.
And when the fire came out from the back, from the front, a rocket flew out.
There are hardly any traces to be seen. The rocket engine is burning fast, and it goes out after going out. It flies forward by inertia. At the same time, the speed is not high, and the trajectory can even be captured with the naked eye.
Oops, forgot to estimate the wind speed!
Aiken found himself making a startling mistake. The warhead of his rocket was originally aimed at the last tank on the side of the opponent's line. From his position, it was the easiest to hit.
However, because he did not estimate the wind speed, at this distance, the warhead deviates from the target, and from the side of the opponent's car body, it swiped and flew away without hitting.
"Quick, reload," he called anxiously.
At this time, Carl did not continue to complain. If they wanted to fight, they had to wait until they got off the battlefield. Now they have to cooperate closely.
Carl quickly shoved the second M6 rocket in from the front, and then Aiken stood up, aimed again, and at the same time leaned slightly to the side for crosswind correction, and then he pressed the trigger again. .
"Whoosh!" The second rocket shot out.
The interval between his two shots was very short, only a dozen seconds, and it wasn't until he fired the second shot that the tanker discovered that what was the flame coming out of the shell crater fifty meters in front of him?
If it is well concealed, the bazooka is not easy to detect, because when it fires, it is almost silent, not as loud as a cannon. Of course, its flames are powerful and easily exposed.
If the German attacking tank formation was followed by infantry, it would have been detected as soon as the first rocket came, but they didn't, the visibility on the tank was very small, and as a result, it was not detected quickly.
The second rocket, with a fierce whistling, flew towards the tank. The distance at this time was only fifty meters! Aiken, who narrowed his eyes, was already able to conclude that this attack was completely effective.
