Chapter 787: Trapped in the Swamp

"What's going on?" Sergeant Rip shouted to his mechanic in the rat tank.

After the Panther 3 tank came over, even if the task of the Rat tank was completed, they should retreat.

The driver in front, operating the rat tank, slowly turned a large circle with a radius of more than fifty meters, preparing to cross the anti-tank trench and then go back to the rear.

Their actual combat has gained a lot, and they have tested the combat effectiveness of this tank. At the same time, they will have great inspiration for subsequent improvements.

However, when they were less than fifty meters back, the tank stopped.

This made the captain Rip extremely depressed. When they were charging, they were so mighty. Now he hopes to turn around beautifully and successfully complete this mission.

However, who would have thought that they would fall off the chain at such a time.

At the same time, he also felt very lucky. If he dropped the chain when he was just charging, it would be even more troublesome.

The rat tank is huge and the interior space is also very spacious. The radio operator and part-time engineer who accompanied the vehicle slowly crawled over to the back: "It should be that we fired too many times just now, maybe some of the lines behind us are loose, first Stop the engine and I'll check the wiring."

The engine is turning and the generator is working, but the power is not being passed to the motor behind it, so the possibility of a fault in the middle line is greater.

During the test drive, some problems with poor wiring were found, but now, with so many guns fired, this is normal under severe vibrations.

Once you find something bad, go back and improve it!

Just as the engineer was crawling back, Sergeant Rip could only wait. As a test driver, he actually understood the mechanical structure, but the space behind him was too small.

If it really doesn't work, he can only risk the danger to go out, open the back cover, and help with maintenance from the outside.

This tank is too bulky. Once the tank can't move, the only way is to fix it. If you want to drag it back, it is impossible. Even if you use ten Panther 3 tanks, you can't pull it. .

While he was waiting, he heard the noise on the radio, with a nervousness he had never felt before.

what happened?

The hatch above his head was still open, and Sergeant Rip stuck out the upper half of his body from the inside and looked out. Suddenly, he couldn't help cursing.

Damn it!

The rolling tide is rushing towards this side! The front end of the tide has already come into contact with the edge of our tank troops, and the infantry below us are hurriedly climbing up to the tank!

The tide is only more than one meter high, and it can't drown the entire tank, but our tanks, at least now, can't move!

Suddenly, his face changed even more, and he suddenly thought, where is his tank? If Black Panther 3 can't move, his tank will be even more unable to move!

"Quick, quick, we have to fix the tank as soon as possible!" Sergeant Rip couldn't help shouting loudly.

Unfortunately, three minutes later, his tank also entered the rolling flood!

If you look at it from the sky, you can see that this flood has spread almost all the way to the entire line of defense. It lasted for more than half an hour before the flood slowly weakened, and the entire line of defense turned into a huge swamp!

The soil below was originally not strong, but now, it is even more soft!

The Black Panther 3 tanks blew black smoke in the mud, and the engines kept roaring, but the tracks kept slipping in the mud!

German tank troops, trapped!

Rear, Command.

"The British dare to dig the Teddington Barrage!" There was a chorus of curses in the headquarters: "Aren't they going to want their capital?"

The commander of the Skeleton Division, Armored Meier was extremely angry at this time. From here, with a telescope, he could see his own attacking troops from a distance, struggling in the mud. Never had such a loss!

Manstein did not speak. Just now, they all made a mistake in their judgment. No one expected that they had already hit the capital of the British. They still have such a tenacious will to resist, and at the same time, they still have this terrible Tactics!

All of them ignored the tide of the Thames and ignored the power of nature. In fact, when the British used the water of the Thames to fill the anti-tank trenches, they should have thought of it!

On Guderian's arm, the blue veins burst out. As the commander-in-chief, he has to take more responsibility.

Now, the situation is very obvious. Our front-line troops are trapped in the swamp and cannot advance or retreat. If the British can seize the opportunity, they can even take their front-line troops into prison with a resolute counterattack. After all , the frontline troops of our own, the logistics supply can't go up, and once the bullets and fuel are used up, I am afraid that there is only one way left to surrender.

Such failure is absolutely intolerable!

"Immediately launch heavy artillery bombardment on the British positions to prevent possible British adventures!" Guderian said.

In this case, the shelling is very dangerous, and it may accidentally injure one's own people. However, only shelling can make the British cast their fears and make them afraid to come out.

A sporadic accidental injury is better than a unit being captured in an organized manner, right?

Guderian's order was promptly carried out.

At this time, there was cheers from the British position.

They watched the flood come up, and watched the nearest German tanks, all within 500 meters of them, were surrounded by the flood, and then the flood slowly penetrated into the land, turned into mud, and forcibly The German army was trapped, and at this time, they were extremely excited.

"When it's dark, we'll go out and capture the German tanks!" Captain Harker shouted loudly, cheering his subordinates, and he really wanted to do it.

For a long time, the German tanks have been invincible. Now, they are finally trapped. This is of course the best chance!

The weapons of the Germans are all fired in bursts, so their ammunition consumption must be astronomical. As long as their ammunition is exhausted, they will either step back in the mud or stay and be captured by their own side!

And those tanks must not be able to move. They can only be left to their own side, so that they can study and study well. Why are the German tanks so fierce?

Looking at those tanks, the current Huck is like looking at what he has in his pocket. At the same time, he also admires, General Hobert, it is so powerful, this is simply turning the whole battle situation in one fell swoop action!

Suddenly, his ears perked up, and when he heard the sound of cutting through the air, he became extremely anxious: "Large-caliber grenades, dodge!"
