Chapter 679 Rubber Tank

Triangle formation, attack!

The entire tank battalion was lined up in the best attack queue. The small triangles formed a large triangle, which was like a wedge that could be directly inserted into the opponent. At the same time, the safety of the two wings was also easily achieved. Guaranteed.

Black smoke was coming from the engine at the rear, and the diesel engine was running at full speed. Although this tank is mainly used on the European plains, it was originally designed, manufactured and tested in the Libyan desert, so the combat environment in the tropics was taken into account from the beginning.

The radiator is specially enlarged, so there is no need to worry about the engine overheating.

In front of them were panicked Italian soldiers. These retreating soldiers charged towards the armored units.

"Never mind them!" Carl yelled over the radio. These Italians, what a shame!

They were also smart. When they found that the German tank troops were coming, they realized that it was not good, and immediately broke down to the two flanks, leaving room for the tanks to attack.

The defeated soldiers gradually dispersed, and the eyes were finally clean! Carl's eyes were on the British tanks in the distance. Those tanks looked tall and mighty, but there was an indescribable weirdness. He couldn't say what it was, and it always felt wrong.

Yes, in their formation, there is no black smoke coming out of the engine. Could it be that their engine is not smoking? Moreover, when their own side rushed over, they still didn't move?

too weird! Ordinarily, they should rush up likewise!

At this time, Carl did not get into the turret. Ordinarily, at this distance, he should be in combat mode. He continued to hold his telescope and stared at the tank in the distance.

With the high-speed advance, the distance between one's own tank and the other side is getting closer and closer!

In the telescope, it became clearer and clearer. At this time, the commander of each tank was shouting loudly: "Armor-piercing bullets, reload!"

The battle of blood and fire is about to begin!

However, Carl stopped the waste of ammunition in time: "Use the machine gun first!"

Machine guns, tanks? On the tanks, the radio operator called the command to the commander, who was very strange.

However, they followed the order immediately, and the loader pushed the top cover, showing his head, and operating the machine gun on the top of the turret.

At the same time, Carl also put down the telescope, pushed the machine gun on the turret, and fired at the enemy tank in front!

The sound of shooting like a chainsaw was madly, and with the sound, the 7.92mm machine gun bullets shot towards the opposite tank frantically!

Machine guns against tanks!

I saw a bullet hit the opposite tank, and then, the tank suddenly deflated, slowly shrinking, shrinking, and finally, it stayed on the ground and became flat.

At this time, everyone understood that these so-called tanks were actually inflatable rubber tanks!

Yes, the rubber tank!

When the Italian army marched towards Egypt and made a major breakthrough in the Suez Canal, General Wavell, the commander-in-chief of the British army in the Middle East, only had an army of more than 30,000 people and an incomplete tank division, which could not be confronted at all.

Facing the disparity of troops, Wavell created this "rubber force" on a whim.

This kind of rubber tank can be used for patrol duty when it has enough gas, and it can be put into a cricket bag after being released for easy carrying; the "wild gun" can be put into a biscuit box; the two-ton rubber truck has no ammunition box after the gas is released. big.

At the same time, in order to be realistic, the engineers created the track marks of the tank. The British also let the Arabs lead herds of camels through the desert. A rake is dragged behind the camel, and when it walks, it kicks up dust, and when viewed from the air, it looks like a huge column of tanks in motion.

At the same time, they have tried and tested, as long as such a tank unit is placed next to the Italian army, they will immediately retreat!

Now, the British army, which is capturing the important port of Tobrugg, suddenly found an Italian army reinforcements here, so they did the same, and they secretly came to the rear of the Italian army with these rubber tanks. , then inflate, and set off.

As a result, this time I met a real guy!

On the radio, cursing and light-hearted teasing continued, so much so that Carl had to remind him to pay attention to the radio communication regulations, which made his ears clear.

The tank troop quickly moved into the opponent's rubber troop. At this time, only a few hundred Indian soldiers were maintaining this huge armored troop.

Yes, it is the Indian soldiers, these Assamese who were recruited in the British colonies, they have always treated themselves as second-class citizens, and followed the British to conquer everywhere.

The British were short of troops, so they dispatched a part of the army from India and stationed in Egypt. At this time, when they saw tanks approaching, they raised their hands high and shouted surrender in English. .

It's impossible to play, the other party is not afraid of his own rubber tank!

At this time, the Italian soldiers who were retreating also stopped their retreat. When they saw that the British tanks were killed by machine guns, they were also quite shocked, until they were daring and followed the German tanks. I ran over to check, only to find out what was going on, and I couldn't help blushing.

"Now, the British must think that we are scared off. Taking this opportunity, we will deal with the British army in Tobrugg in one fell swoop. They are all rubber tanks, don't be afraid!"

Standing on his tank, Karl shouted loudly to the Italian soldiers: "You just need to follow our tanks and watch over the British prisoners, just like now!"

Italian soldiers are not good at fighting, but now, they are good at guarding prisoners.

Moreover, seeing that the British are all rubber tanks, the fear in their hearts has disappeared. Follow the German tanks, don't be afraid!

But soon, their enthusiasm waned, no, they were hungry.

What about the cooks? Hurry, hurry, cook a bowl of spaghetti first! Also, open a few bottles of red wine to celebrate this victory!

Looking at the Italian soldiers who had just fled and lost their guns, they started to celebrate the victory here. Karl was finally speechless. With these people, if he could win the battle, that is the sun came out from the west.

If you want to command them to win the battle, there is only one way to replace all these commanders with German soldiers! At the same time, ruthlessly executed a group of deserters!

Looking at these Italian soldiers, Carl spat fiercely. Let them eat the noodles first and let's go!
