Chapter 338

What are the tactics of the tank? For other armies of this era, it was still an unknown.

For example, the British first invented the tank, but they have always believed that the tank can only be a vassal of the infantry, that is, a mobile fire point to cover the advance of the infantry.

Under this line of thinking, the British came up with infantry tanks with thicker armor and poor maneuverability, which were used to accompany infantry in combat. How bad is the mobility? This thing runs at the same speed as the infantry, and the stubbornness of the British is evident.

At the same time, the British also have cruise tanks with thinner armor and stronger maneuverability for mobile operations. The concept of cruiser tanks is similar to cruisers, with high movement speed and good maneuverability, equipped with machine guns and small-caliber artillery, which can support infantry operations.

These two types simply cannot adapt to the development of the army.

Germany is the most orthodox country that uses tanks, and the Blitzkrieg is the most correct use of tanks.

The main task of the armored force is to rely on the rapid movement ability to divide and surround the enemy, and constantly destroy the enemy's living forces.

For example, now, with his armored platoon, Wittmann is leading the way across the positions of the Poles' tank troops. What is it for? Of course, running behind the Poles, encircling and annihilating them all round.

Unfortunately, these Poles have not seen Wittmann's tactics until now.

While the Polish tanks were charging forward, they were blown up one by one. The German tank soldiers were the most enjoyable. Sometimes, they didn't have time to load the shells, and they hit the Polish tanks directly.

This is not a close fight at all!

However, it has to be said that the Poles have a kind, knowing that there is a dead end, the Poles dare to fight.

A Poles' TKS tank finally rushed to the side of a Panther 3 tank. With almost zero distance, the Poles fired again!

"Boom!" The 37mm barrel of the tank was almost facing the side of the Panther 3 tank, and just like that, a shell was fired!

After the fight, the Poles were surprised to find that it was all right! The German tanks could not penetrate at zero distance!

This cannonball was more unlucky than the last one.

When the distance is relatively long, the projectile travels a parabola, and when it falls, the projectile is inclined downward, so that it can play a nearly vertical blow on the sloped armor.

But what about now? They are right. Because the TKS tank is too short, the 37mm tank gun must be raised to reach the opponent's turret. As a result, when the shell flies out, the angle between the side of the turret and the turret is larger. !

If the cannonball had a feeling at this time, it was like a catfish, and it slid away unexpectedly!

The inclined armor can play a better role in ricocheting. Now, the Poles' tanks, after getting close, are even more unable to penetrate the German tanks!

In fact, if the Poles are smart enough, they should know that it is impossible to completely destroy the German tanks. They should hit the weak running gear of the German tanks, break the tracks, and destroy the road wheels, then the tank will It is impossible to walk, and it is impossible to completely destroy it.

But now, the Poles are in a daze. Generally speaking, when fighting tanks, they are fighting turrets.

While the Poles were at a loss, Wittmann's tank platoon had passed through the entire Polish tank force, and then Wittmann's tank turned around!

surrounded the Poles.

When Wittmann passed through, a perfect encirclement was formed. Now, they hardly need to move, just stand here, aim at the small tanks, and then fire.

Poles, go to hell.

One after another TKS tanks, thick smoke, when it was found that there was an attack behind, the courage of the Poles just disappeared completely.

They are not afraid of death, but they cannot die for no reason, they must die meaningfully, and now, the way they die is not worth it.

"Retreat!" Major Stanislaw, the battalion commander of the 21st Armored Battalion, had already discovered that the situation was not good. At this moment, he was fearless. He stretched his upper body out of the turret and waved a small flag of withdrawal.

In the era of no radio, the old way of giving orders by semaphore was adopted by many armored soldiers.

"Boom!" At this moment, Wittmann's tank roared again.

If it weren't for the difficulty of producing long-barreled tank guns, the 75mm tank guns are quite good, with such a straight ballistic trajectory, if you hit the enemy now, you don't need to count any advance.

Now, Wittmann fired again, the muzzle filled with gunpowder smoke, and the entire turret was filled with a choking smell.

Although there is a smoking device, in this fierce battle, the smoke in the turret is still increasing. He coughed twice and looked at the enemy in the sight.

The guy who just leaned out, at this moment, the entire upper half of his body was gone.

On the turret, there is blood all over it, and it is directly hit by a 75mm armor-piercing projectile. What would it be like? This is how it is now!

If you slow down the camera, you can see that before the projectile arrived, the pressure generated by the compressed air at the front of the projectile pushed Stanislaw's body back, and then the projectile's warhead touched his body, At this moment, the frail Stanislaw, like a porcelain vase, collapsed instantly.

Just like this, the cannonball hits at a speed of 700 meters per second, which is even more enjoyable than five horses.

"Batch commander!" Inside the tank, the tank operator yelled. He only saw the lower half of the battalion commander's body and fell back inside the tank, while the upper half of the battalion commander's body was gone.

Blood flowed down the hatch cover of the turret and merged into a stream.

"Batch commander, I will avenge you!" the tanker shouted loudly, stepping on the gas pedal.

Unfortunately, he had no chance. At the next moment, his tank exploded violently. Another armor-piercing projectile hit the tank. During the explosion, the entire tank caught fire.

Speaking very slowly, in fact, the battle on the entire battlefield did not take long, about ten minutes before and after, and a battle of siege and annihilation was over.

The entire Polish 21st Panzer Battalion has disappeared, and even in the end, they did not surrender.

At the same time, with the disappearance of this armored battalion, it also indicated that the defensive battle of the Volhinian Cavalry Brigade was a complete failure.
