Chapter 715 Sneak Attack From Behind (Plus 1)

When the sound of the explosion came from behind, the crew members of the Panther 3 tank were suddenly stunned. What happened?

Then, a puff of black smoke came in from behind. Needless to say, you can also know that it was attacked from behind!

Indiscriminately, the commander pushed open the top turret cover and took out a fire extinguisher. At this time, there was already smoke billowing behind.

In later generations, tanks have complete fire extinguishing and explosion suppression systems. If there is a spark, the fire extinguishing system will work immediately, but now, it is still far from being able to meet this requirement, and it can only be a backup fire extinguisher.

The only advantage is that the current tanks use diesel fuel, which is not easy to burn. If it is gasoline, it will be troublesome.

After all, even if there is armor on the back of the tank, there must be louvers for heat dissipation. Otherwise, if the engine is sealed inside, it will definitely overheat. The current Black Panther 3 has been specially improved for the desert, and the area of ​​the heat dissipation window is large. It's bigger, and if a molotov cocktail is thrown, it's easy to ignite the back.

There is no time to wait, he must act fast!

After pushing it away, the fire extinguisher in his hand spewed out white foam and covered the back. It seemed that it didn't look like a molotov cocktail. The flame was extinguished within two seconds.

"Da da da." Almost at the same time, in the back, the sound of a machine gun suddenly sounded!

Longhurst has returned to his machine gun, he quickly picked up his machine gun and fired at the tank here!

Fire! Intensive bullets fired at the tank commander. In an instant, there were a few more holes in his body. He fell weakly on the turret. He didn't close his eyes to death, but looked here.

The fire extinguisher was dropped aside.

Not only Longhurst was alone, but just now, more than a dozen brave soldiers threw their sticky bombs at the German tanks and successfully hit three tanks, but they were all slightly injured. , not a single tank was destroyed, even if it could not walk!

Their actions, however, aroused the anger of the German soldiers.

There was a small force behind them. This small team was actually firing at them with light weapons, and even caused the death of one of their commanders!

Turn around, it's too late, and just after finding the enemy behind, Karl Mauss shouted loudly on the radio: "Back up, push back, turn the turret!"

The hydraulically powered turret turned quickly and pointed to the rear, while the tanker stopped advancing and put into reverse gear.

Inside the tank, a famous tank soldier, filled with righteous indignation, dared to carry out a sneak attack from behind!

"Boom!" The tank that just killed the commander has already opened fire! Just after finding out that the commander was dead, the gunner turned the turret, and the loader quickly loaded a grenade, well-trained, and in just five seconds, they opened fire!

Just as the tanks on this side were firing, Longhurst carried his machine gun and moved quickly towards the bunker next to him.

You know, this is not a bipod light machine gun, this is a tripod heavy machine gun! With a weight of 42 kg, it is difficult for ordinary people to move quickly!

Almost as soon as he hid in the bunker next to him, a violent explosion echoed right next to him. A big pit had already appeared on the machine gun position just now. The Germans responded really fast!

Longhurst shouted loudly: "Platoon leader, retreat with people, I cover!"

If the sticky bomb could blow up even a tank just now, they would not give up the attack, but now, they have no weapons in their hands, and even sneak attacks have not destroyed the opponent, and normal confrontation is even more impossible. !

We can only retreat, but someone must stay!

Longhurst's meaning is obvious. He used his machine gun to attract the attention of the Germans, so that the remaining people could escape calmly!

However, Pedro, the platoon leader, did not plan to escape, can he escape?

The weeds here are less than half a meter high, and they are sparse. If you stay in the natural bunker here, you can persist for a while. If you run out, you will definitely be a living target for tanks in the open area.

Since he had already planned to fight, it would be impossible to go back alive! This is the real soldier!

"Attract the German tank fire, let's use grenades!" Pedro shouted.

Sticky bombs won't work, and Molotov cocktails didn't have time to do it. After all, their combat target was the Italians. To deal with ordinary Italian soldiers, as long as the Vickers machine gun on this side rang, the opponent would fall down, or even surrender.

But now, the Germans are here, so don't be afraid, the Germans must pay the price!

Pedro shouted, put the grenades he was carrying together, and then bundled them up, while Longhurst understood, continued to carry his machine gun, and stepped back a few meters, looking from the opponent's tank, it seemed like It's like he's retreating.

"Da da, da da." Longhurst ran back and fired his machine gun back, attracting the attention of the German tanks. Sure enough, the German tanks were fooled!

They stopped using tank guns, because of the angle, their tank guns were powerless, and they could only use the tank's machine guns to shoot at Longhurst.

As Longhurst ran, he turned back to shoot, and the tanks on this side were chasing backwards.

"Boom!" At this moment, an explosion of the same scale came from under the car body.

Hearing this sound, in an instant, the driver knew that it was not good! He pulls the lever on one side and hits the accelerator!

This requires excellent judgment, as well as sharp operation!

The explosion happened on the right side! Then there was a clattering sound, indicating that the track on the right side had been blown off! And the driver pushes the lever on the left to the head, so that the driving wheel on the right will stop rotating, and the left side will rotate with full power!

From the outside, that is, the body of the tank is turning unilaterally!

After the Tiger tank, the German tank will have the ability to turn the center, using the function of the excellent torque converter, and now, the Panther 3 tank can only be unilaterally steered.

So, that's enough!

An Australian soldier, just now, was crawling forward with a bundle of grenades.

The machine guns of his own have attracted the firepower of the opponent, so he successfully came to the side of the opponent's tank. Since the tank was advancing backwards, no one noticed him!

Put the grenade on the path of the opponent's crawler, pull the rope, and when the crawler rolls up, it just explodes!

He was overjoyed, the crawler was blown up, and the other party couldn't move! But then, his joy turned to horror.

The opponent's car body, turned over!

He crawls quickly for two steps, but it's still useless, the tank's crawler just rolled over!

He uses both hands and feet, the opponent can only turn unilaterally, and the scope of action is limited!

Just as he was crawling forward quickly, he felt a sharp pain in one of his legs!

The intact crawler was crushed onto his leg, and in an instant, half of the thigh turned into a mashed meat!
