Chapter 507 Defeat the British
Concentrating on the use of tanks as the main force in mobile warfare, completely abandoning the positional warfare style of World War I, this is the tactic of armored soldiers proposed by Guderian, and it is also the armored force they have been researching in Libya for more than ten years. The way the troops fight.
Various advanced tactics were proposed at that time and then practiced. For example, the current style of play is one of them.
For a tank, the frontal armor is always the thickest, the side is second, and the rear armor is the weakest. Therefore, when the tank is fighting, it is the most reliable to always keep the thickest main armor facing the opponent. A solid plan.
Then, in the confrontation between the two armies, there are many situations. For example, now, the German armored troops have fewer tanks and the other side has more tanks. At this time, if the two sides are confronted, they will soon fall into a melee, and the other side will rely on With the advantage of a large number of people, using a sea of people tactics to surround the German tanks, no matter how brave they are, there will be times when they miss.
Therefore, it is very important to prolong the contact time between the two sides, and before contact, take advantage of the advantages of long-range accurate shooting of one's own side, eliminate the other side's firepower, and constantly weaken the strength of the other side.
Now, one side is retreating and the other side is attacking. Although the distance between the two sides is still close, after all, the speed of advancing is faster than the speed of reversing, but the time of contact between the two sides is still extended.
During this period of time, when the German armored troops were brushing their records, they relied on accurate shooting and continuously knocked out the opponent's tanks.
From the outside, it seemed that the British were attacking and the Germans were retreating, but in reality, it was the British chariots that caught fire one by one.
It won't work like this!
When George wanted to understand this truth, although they were helpless, they could only issue the slogan to stop moving forward.
Waving a small flag, showing half of his body, he gave orders to the other tanks, which was his only way of command due to the lack of radio.
Unfortunately, on the battlefield, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and tanks were constantly on fire. There were flames and black smoke everywhere. The commander of each tank was very nervous. Looking at the German tanks on the opposite side, few people noticed their brigade. long.
In particular, the tanks in front of them have already begun to panic.
The Germans, right in front of them, seemed to be able to charge at once, but the tanks in front were destroyed one by one.
The accuracy of German shooting is really high! In contrast, they have only established a tank brigade for a short time, and few commanders have this kind of confidence, even if they are shooting fixed targets.
It is impossible to say that you are not afraid when you see the tanks around you being destroyed.
Therefore, they also reduced their speed, watching the tanks next to them were faster than themselves, and then watching the tanks that rushed up first were destroyed. In this way, their timidity became more and more.
At this time, the distance between the two sides had actually reached 300 meters, and the tank rushing in front had forgotten to fire!
The enemy's momentum has been discouraged!
Here, Mayer saw that the opponent's charge was not as fast as it was at that time. He knew that they were already afraid. At this time, the battlefield was filled with gunpowder, and he couldn't see that the tanks behind were actually retreating. Out of his sense of the battlefield, he issued a new order: "Stop retreating, attack all, pay attention, maintain formation!"
attack!
Hearing his order, the tanker was extremely excited, stepped on the brakes, put the forward gear, and then rushed!
The diesel engine at the rear of the Panther 3 tank belched out black smoke, and they started to accelerate!
The Stalker tank destroyer, closely followed, although their engine is only 220 horsepower, but their body is also light and quite fast.
Just like a cheetah, the German tank unit has started to attack!
"Boom!" The stalker's 75mm tank gun fired rapidly, and the armor-piercing projectile hit the opposite British tank with precision, bringing the death explosion.
The Panther 3 tank started to use a long-barreled 75mm tank gun with a diameter of 70 times. This long-barreled tank gun has a very high shooting accuracy and a very straight trajectory. Within a few hundred meters, no aiming is required. Where to fight.
Unfortunately, its manufacture is very complicated, and the long diameter brings processing difficulties.
The Stalker's 75mm tank gun is only 48 times the diameter, which is much shorter. This short-barreled 75mm gun is easy to produce, and at the same time, its power is sufficient.
The small stalker tank destroyer was originally not taken seriously, but this battle will greatly rewrite the views of some tank generals.
It has a low profile, which means that its bullet receiving area is small, and it is not easy to be targeted by the opponent. At the same time, its firepower, maneuverability, and protection are all good, and it is an all-rounder on the battlefield.
"Left 3 crypts to the left, fire!" the commander of a stalker shouted loudly.
The Stalker does not have a turret. This kind of self-propelled artillery without a turret can only move up and down, but not left and right. To aim at the target, the precise rotation of the car body is required, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of aiming.
In the current stalker, the tank gun can move left and right, just because the main gun is creatively installed on the right side of the front of the car body by the designer, and the angle of rotation to the right is 11 degrees, while the angle to the left is 11 degrees. The side is only a poor 5 degrees, and under normal circumstances, if the main gun is arranged in the normal center, the rotation angle of the main gun should be 15 degrees to the left and right.
There is no way to do this, because this is a light chassis after all. If you want to drive a 75mm tank gun, the internal space is quite crowded and can only be arranged to the right. Otherwise, there will be no place for the driver on the left.
Following the command of the commander, the 75mm gun made a loud noise, and a blunt armor-piercing projectile flew out.
The car was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the loader on one side turned the body laboriously to reload the new armor-piercing projectile.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the target stopped, and billowing black smoke came out.
"Hit!" shouted the commander, "Go on!"
This is the fourth British tank he has destroyed. A total of ten armor-piercing projectiles have been fired. The commander is very excited. When the battle is over, he will paint four destroy icons on the side of his hull!
In the end, the side of his car body should be completely painted, it is exciting enough to think about it.
At this moment, the radio operator shouted: "Commander, commander of the company, charge at full speed and defeat the British!"
Charge at full speed, and now you can see that the British armored forces have begun to retreat!
