Chapter 515 Super Lollipop

"The target is not moving." Here, through the tank's sights, you can clearly see the situation on the opposite side.

Our Stalker tank destroyer fired three artillery and two artillery shots to hit the target. In the static-to-static shooting, the gunner's aiming was quite level.

One of the target tanks was even directly blown up, while there was no other movement on the opposite side.

It seems that he is overthinking it.

At this moment, the battalion commander's urging came again on the radio: "The 3rd company, accelerate forward, the division commander ordered us to intersperse the first armored division that divided the British."

Interspersed and divided, they are the main force, they go straight through, divide the first armored division into two pieces, and eat them separately!

So, without further hesitation, Mayer gave the order to his troops: "Full speed ahead!"

go ahead!

The tank's engine roared, the tracks crushed the ground, and one tank after another quickly pushed toward the opposite side.

The road wheel bounces from time to time, and the torsion bar at the bottom of the tank is constantly offsetting the bouncing force. It can be said that in terms of tank chassis, Germany is unrivaled.

The 40-ton chassis is enough to demonstrate the technical level of Germany.

The Panther 3 tank is in front, and the Stalker tank destroyer is in the back. They just rushed towards the position of the British tank. This is the fastest way to walk in a straight line.

In the distance, the rumble of the engine is getting closer and closer, and the British tankers have a kind of excitement in their hearts.

Soon, soon.

In a tank in the center, Brigade Commander Herbart also barely suppressed his excitement. Relying on the spirit of not being afraid of death, they finally waited for the opportunity after sacrificing the soldiers on the two tanks!

From the observation hole here, you can see that the German tanks are rumbling up, getting closer, closer!

On the ground, there was a slight tremor, and the German tank unit was quite imposing. The leading Panther 3 tank drove past, and behind it were those strange-looking tanks without turrets.

Now, they don't know about the German Stalker tank destroyer, and the attention of the British intelligence system is all on the Panther 3 tank.

"Okay, it's time!" Hebart gritted his teeth and jumped out from the top of his turret, holding a No. 74 grenade in his hand.

This grenade, from the outside, looks like an oversized lollipop. And its principle is similar to lollipop.

The top is a metal shell of a large ball. Inside this metal shell, there is a glass ball containing nitroglycerin, the surface of which is pasted with strong adhesive, and the bottom is an ordinary handle.

When it was taken out, Herbart carefully pulled out the needle on the grenade hand. With a light snap, the casing split in two to reveal the glass ball, and the other needle would activate a five-second delayed explosion fuze. .

This is a big lollipop!

This thing is heavy, and when Hebart came out, he immediately aimed at the Panther 3 tank that just drove by his tank, let's start with it!

Twenty meters away is the range he can throw!

Hebart used all his strength to throw the grenade out!

When using it, you must be careful, if it sticks to yourself, it will be troublesome.

No. 74 grenade, a unique weapon developed by the British. It's like a strong sticky glue, where it sticks!

This grenade, which appeared earlier than history, was the result of Churchill's intervention.

The strength of the German armored forces has made the British realize their deficiencies in anti-armor. In addition to developing new tanks and anti-tank guns, they are also transforming simple and effective weapons.

For the armor of the tank, bombing with grenades is a stupid and effective method, but the power of a single grenade is insufficient, so more grenades need to be bundled together.

On the one hand, it is relatively heavy, on the other hand, it is not easy to throw on the tank.

After all, the tank doesn't stop there, it's constantly moving, the grenade is thrown up, and it may come down again.

Moreover, the grenade is originally round, and it is easy to roll down. It is quite sad to use a grenade to attack a high target, and it is easy to injure yourself.

In this case, Major Millis Jeffries and Major Stewart McRae, two members of the British 1st Defence Division, came up with an idea to create a Grenades for enemy tanks.

After many failures, their grenade still has a lot of deficiencies, but after Churchill learned about the development of this grenade, he began to urge its development and production.

And, after watching a test demonstration of the grenade, he stared at the pressure and ordered the grenade to go into production. Designated anti-tank grenade No. 74.

Churchill knew that, no matter how many shortcomings, it at least provided the infantry with an opportunity to fight tanks, better than facing tanks with both hands.

Now, this grenade has just been put into production, and the output is not much. It is first allocated to the most elite troops, and the first armored division is allocated to a batch.

Now Hobart has realized Churchill's intentions, no matter how many shortcomings it has, at least it allows British soldiers to fight German tanks!

In his gaze, the grenade with his hope rolled exactly behind the Panther tank!

For any tank, the rear protection is insufficient, especially the tail has an engine, and the armor is even less likely to be quite thick.

As long as this grenade explodes, it can blow up their engines, and even if the diesel engine does not catch fire, just being broken can make them lose their combat effectiveness.

Even better if the German attack is repelled and their tank is returned!

Hubart thought a lot in the short time the grenade flew, and when his grenade accurately hit the rear of the Panther tank, he almost cheered.

It worked!

However, the next moment, he couldn't be happier.

I saw my grenade collided with the opponent's tail, followed, and reeled down!

No sticking, no sticking!

If it sticks, it's like a lollipop, sticks firmly in place, and explodes. But now, instead of sticking, it rolled down.

Don't the Germans, really, know how to maintain their tanks? So dirty!
