Chapter 506： Soldiers must be bloody (1/2)

It is simply a shame to miss a shot!

Being shot in the back is even more a shame, and now, these shame has been carried by the British Third Armored Brigade.

Most of the tanks did not fire. They were destroyed before they got close enough to hit the target accurately, so they did not fire at all.

When the collapse began, many tanks were destroyed from behind.

Watching his own tanks retreat, while the German tank soldiers were chasing them, Brigadier George knew that his command was completely wrong.

If you want to fight, fight to the end! If you don't fight, you can simply retreat before making contact. Your cruise tank has a fairly high speed, enough to throw away your opponent.

But now, they are in a dilemma, and the hasty retreat can only make them all wiped out!

”Company 1, come with me!” Brigadier George shouted loudly.

If you want to save your own army, there is only one way, and that is to leave the death squad! The failure of the command made George's heart completely distressed, and he was determined to use his sacrifice to save more tank troops.

In fact, he didn't think about other factors. Equipment is not omnipotent, but it is absolutely impossible without good equipment. For example, their tanks now have obvious disadvantages, that is, the firepower of their main guns!

It's a pity that the team had long since collapsed. Without a radio, he couldn't command well by relying on semaphores.

”Go ahead, go ahead!” Brigadier George shouted to his driver.

In the collapse of the army, George's tank was so conspicuous that he saw the brigade commander charging. Three or five tanks, following the brigade commander, turned around and rushed towards the enemy.

Here, Meyer had already noticed the brave captain, and now, seeing the opponent rushing up without fear of death, Meyer also admired it in his heart. Soldiers admire bloodliness most.

”Fire!” George shouted to his gunner.

Inside the turret, his left front is the gunner's position.

After hearing his command, the gunner stood in the turret, supported the gun **** with his shoulder, and then pressed the firing button.

”Boom! Bang!” Their tank gun fired. Yes, this type of tank gun fired in bursts.

The main weapon of the Covenant tank is a 2-pounder gun, 40 times the caliber, a maximum rate of fire of 22 rounds per minute, and 110 rounds of ammunition.

However, this gun is an improvement from an infantry gun. It is not a high-low machine structure, but a simple shoulder device.

That is to say, when the gunner fires, it is the same as firing on the ground, with shoulder shooting to control accuracy.

This is simply used to make fun of it. This type of gun was the main British anti-tank gun in the early days of World War II. It was not until the 6-pound tank gun was finalized that it was considered to have replaced it.

Pound is a unit of weight, not length. The British use weight to define artillery is purely an ancient tradition.

In the era of the muzzle gun, the caliber of the gun that hits the ball with the corresponding pound weight was called the pound gun. Now, there is no correspondence between the weight of the shells and the caliber of the artillery, but the stubborn and rigid British still hold on to tradition and do not let go, and still use the standards of the premuzzle era to measure modern artillery.

The number of pounds at this time has long been unable to correspond to it. It is just a synonym for caliber. The current 2-pounder gun has a 40mm caliber, a 6-pounder gun has a 57mm caliber, and a 17-pounder gun has a 76.2mm caliber.

And now, as they opened fire, one by one 40mm armor-piercing rounds flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the opposite tank.

They played the opponent in front, of course the Panther 3 tank.

”Hum!” A 40mm armor-piercing projectile came into contact with the front armor of the Panther 3 tank. At the moment of contact, the violent impact shocked the tank soldiers inside.
