Chapter 835 Ronson Lighter

Tanker Rockard, sitting on his gun emplacement, at this time, his body was bumping with the tank.

"Fire!" Following the command of the commander, he quickly stepped on the trigger, and the entire body of the tank trembled, and inside the turret, there was a smoke of gunpowder.

"Boom!" The yellow orange shell was withdrawn, and the loader loaded the second shell into it.

Rockde turned his eyes to the sight again, and inside, he could clearly see the opponent's tank, but, until now, he had fired five shells, but he didn't even hit an enemy tank. !

As an old gunner, he felt very surprised. After the shell was loaded, he did not continue to fire, but shouted loudly: "Commander, please stop and fire!"

Only by stopping the vehicle can we aim and shoot better. Now, hearing his request, the commander also nodded: "Stop!"

stop! The car came to a screeching stop, and Rockde could finally calm down, aim calmly, and shoot while traveling. It looked grand, but it was useless at all!

Rockde re-targeted the enemy, and now, the opponent is still advancing towards his own position, but the opponent's turrets have already turned.

Just as Rockard was about to fire, he saw the opponent's muzzle, and a flame burst out. The opponent opened fire, and he was shooting at himself!

Fire!

At this time, without hesitation, he stepped on the trigger hard.

"Boom!" Amid the loud explosion, the tank swayed and the shells flew out.

Following that, he heard a more terrifying collision sound, the opponent's shells hit his own tank!

The 88mm shell hits the front of the Sherman tank! It's just an ordinary steel core armor-piercing bullet. When this armor-piercing bullet hit the front car body, it immediately slammed into it!

The Sherman tank is 30 tons, and because the tank is tall, it needs a larger protective area. Therefore, the armor of this tank is only more than 70 mm! This is still the thickest place!

Its foundation is just the M3 tank. It has more than 70 mm, which is already very against the sky. It is a pity that this thickness is simply vulnerable in the face of 88 mm armor-piercing bullets!

It was like a layer of paper. The 88mm shell penetrated into the armor, smashed the driver in front, and then continued inward, traversing the wide body of the car, and drilled all the way to the back.

The Sherman tank is quite reliable. Historically, this tank only requires the most common field maintenance, and the attendance rate is quite high, which is inseparable from its engine.

This tank uses a 400-horsepower Continental R-975 C1 nine-cylinder radial air-cooled engine.

As long as you hear these words, you should know that this is a real aero engine!

The needs of the two are different. Aero-engines need high horsepower, while tanks need high torque. Only the United States can solve the problem of heat dissipation perfectly. Install this engine in the M4 tank, and it is reliable. Still quite high.

The reliability is high enough, but unfortunately, as long as it is a gasoline engine, there is an inevitable disadvantage that its fuel is extremely easy to burn!

"Boom!" With the sound of the explosion, the engine behind was roaring! As long as a spark splashes, this engine can be ignited, and now, the sparks splashing around and the fuel spraying everywhere make this engine burn in an instant!

From the outside, the entire tank is burning quickly. This is not the kind of violent burning that the ammunition explodes. This is purely a burning like a big fire!

Just like the fireworks in the festival, the entire tank is burning, and the tank operator on the opposite side can't help but be stunned when he sees this scene.

"It's just a Lonson lighter, it's on every hit, and it's on every hit!" The tank operator couldn't help but sigh, what kind of tank is this?

It's a pity, it's time for our side to continue attacking the enemy's positions! The gunner had to twist around the turret, ready to tear through the enemy's position.

Behind them is the 67th Armored Battalion. Battalion Commander Poulter has received the news on the radio. He immediately ordered his troops to turn around and advance to his right flank to block the British armored troops!

One after another, the Panther 3 tanks were running at full speed towards the other side, and at this time, he could clearly see that the other side's tanks were also accelerating.

It seems that the performance of the opponent's tank is also good! At least, compared to mobility, it's almost the same as one's own!

Moreover, they actually made a tactical allocation. Half of the tanks continued to move forward, intending to engage with their own side, while the other part actually wanted to bypass and attack their own flanks!

It's a pity, it's too high! Such a lofty goal, on one's own side, seems quite obvious.

"Fire!" At this time, the two sides were two kilometers apart. At this distance, Bolt couldn't wait to give the order to fire!

The body of the Panther 3 tank trembled, and the 88mm armor-piercing projectile cut through the air and flew towards the opposite side. After flying for almost three seconds, it accurately hit the incomparably tall body on the opposite side!

The tank operator of this tank would never have dreamed that his own tank was actually killed by the opponent two kilometers away!

When the huge explosion sounded, the tank, like a torch, was blazing!

Even the American Sherman tanks are not the opponents of the Germans! Before it was improved again, the Sherman tank was also the object of beating!

The tank troops of both sides were galloping on the fields of Egypt, and a tank battle just kicked off.

For the German tank soldiers, this is something they can't ask for. They haven't fought a real tank battle since the start of the war. Now, it's just an opportunity!

At the same time, this is also necessary for the British. They must show their true skills in the northern defense line and attract the attention of the Germans in order to realize their strategic intentions. In this battle, not only can they not lose, Must also win beautifully!

In the rear, the British Army Headquarters.

Montgomery kept his face tense, listening to the battle report from the front.

"Our tank troops are attacking the Germans, but the tanks from the United States are still unable to defeat the Germans in performance. Our casualties are huge, but the soldiers are still holding on."

"They have to insist that now, Germany has not dispatched all of their armored forces, we have to attract them all out." Montgomery said.
