Chapter 734 Infantry Tank
"Bang!" Josephine aimed her Lee-Enfield rifle, then pulled the trigger.
Under the illumination of the flare, he saw a German tanker rushing up from the opposite side. He was shot in the chest and fell backward. At this moment, he had a strange feeling in his heart. The life of the people disappeared, and the war really annihilated human nature.
At the same time, he heard screams beside him.
The machine gun bullet of the other party swept over, and a cold bullet hit the head of the companion beside him. The companion fell backwards, only made a cry, and his body did not move.
Blood flowed out of his head, and there was white brain pulp at the same time. At this moment, Josephine felt a throbbing in his stomach, and then, unable to bear it, he lay beside him and vomited.
Although he is a veteran, he has never killed anyone, and in this battlefield of blood and fire, every moment, a large number of fresh lives disappear!
"Boom!" A bomb exploded on their machine gun position. The bunker, which was hastily piled up with sandbags, could not stop the bomb overhead. In an instant, the machine gun position flew into the sky.
But no one flinched, no one was afraid, and when Josephine finished vomiting, he took up his rifle again.
Here, like the battle of Verdun in World War I, the lives of the soldiers on both sides will be continuously consumed until they finally die!
On the shore, countless machine gun positions are firing towards the sea. Their survival time is also less than a minute. The bombers in the sky will dive towards the machine gun positions, blowing them away with bombs and large-caliber machine guns. , At the same time, the tank guns of the amphibious tanks behind are also aiming at these targets.
After killing the machine gun position, you can create the conditions for the landing of the infantry in the rear!
The machine gunners of the British defenders have the highest death rate, but no one is afraid. When the machine gunners are killed, other people next to them and behind them will set up their machine guns again and continue to fire!
At the same time as the fierce exchange of fire in the front, the rubber boats of the French Volunteers have also begun to sprint towards the beach.
The machine gun on the beachhead is the biggest threat to them, but now, they are not afraid and not backing down!
The tanks are already in front. These days, on the coast of Calais, they often practice charging behind the tanks. Now, it is just an actual combat exercise.
Rush, Rush, Rush!
A shuttle of bullets shot over, almost all the soldiers on a rubber boat were killed, the sea was stained red with blood, and the leaking rubber boat was slowly sinking.
However, the other rubber boats are still moving forward, moving forward, moving forward!
Finally, the rubber boat rushed to the beach, and the soldiers rushed down from the rubber boat and charged forward!
As long as they occupy the beachhead of the British army, they will be successful, protect the safety of the beach behind, and the landing ship can land under fire!
The first to step on here will receive the title of Holy Aryan!
Private Neymar held a machine gun and rushed forward with a cat on his waist. He was the first to rush up!
In front, the tank troops are charging towards the opponent's position. As long as they charge over, they can take over the opponent's position!
Rush, Rush, Rush!
Neymar's boots, stepping on the soft sand, continued to run forward, and suddenly, his eyes widened.
What did he see under the light of the flares?
On the opposite position, British tanks are also rushing up!
Since it has been expected that the Germans will smuggle over from Dover at night, how can the British side not increase the defense force?
In addition to the mobilization of a large number of infantry, the main British tank force was also mobilized to the beachhead here.
For the landing and anti-landing operations, it is only the beachhead, which can decide the outcome. If the Germans have captured the beachhead and come back with support, they will have a foothold and can continue to expand the results. Once Germany's most powerful Panther 3 Tanks come up, then there is no need to fight on the British side.
On the contrary, if the opponent is pushed into the sea when the opponent is not firmly established, then the British side will win.
After learning that the Germans had amphibious tanks, the United Kingdom here also deployed its own tanks.
On the coast, what tank is best to defend? Infantry tanks of course!
Various infantry tanks were deployed in the back. When the front positions were facing the bombardment of German bombers, they were still quietly concealed, and they did not move until the German tank troops began to land.
Why do you want to? Of course, it was to prevent the bombing of the German bombers overhead. Now, the distance between the two sides is very close. In order to prevent accidental injuries, the bomber troops overhead have not fired much.
At this time, the British tanks were dispatched at full speed!
Among them, their main force is the "Matilda" Mk.II infantry tank.
When the dark clouds of war loomed over Europe, Britain had to forget about the bad economy and invest more money to develop weapons. This infantry tank, code-named A12, was developed at that time.
It has 78mm thick frontal armor and can withstand the frontal strikes of all dedicated anti-tank guns in the mid-to-late 1930s without being hurt. Even the armor on the top of the hull is 20 mm thick, which is a real representative of the infantry tank.
At the same time, it is equipped with a common British 2-pounder gun, which is powerless to the current German Panther 3, not only the front, but also the side can't be penetrated.
However, there is absolutely no problem with fighting amphibious tanks!
The tanks were rumbling, and when they crossed their defense lines, the nearest tanks on the opposite side were almost less than a hundred meters away!
"Fire!" the commander shouted loudly.
The gunner put the tank gun on his shoulder, stepped on the trigger, and the 40mm shell flew towards the opposite side.
At the same time, the opposite amphibious tank also projected its own 50mm armor-piercing projectile over it!
"boom!"
"boom!"
The two tanks were shot almost at the same time, and then they were destroyed at the same time!
Ordinary 50mm armor-piercing projectiles cannot penetrate the frontal armor of 78mm. Therefore, after discovering the tank coming from the opposite side, the German tank commander immediately ordered the use of tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles!
As amphibious tanks, they have more specialized supplies. In order to attack the fort, half of their armor-piercing bullets are tungsten alloy warheads, regardless of the cost!
At this distance, both sides have a high hit rate. As a result, after the two sides fired artillery shells, they were destroyed by the other side almost at the same time!
The battle of blood and fire is going on fiercely.
