Chapter 781： Move to 2 wings (1/2)

The tank attack is of course tactical.

Rushing up in a swarm, relying on the powerful strength of the tank to defeat the opponent's defense line, this is not impossible, but the efficiency of doing so is too low.

German tanks have the highest combat efficiency when used. In their offensive, the more commonly used tactic is to seek a breakthrough in one position. After a breakthrough, they immediately move towards the opponent’s two wings and tear apart the larger ones. Mouth!

Just leaning on the mouse tank, opened a small gap, and then the Panther 3 tank swarmed up, thus opening a large gap and breaking through the opponent's first line of defense.

The first line of defense for the British was quite long. With the Thames River flowing through the center of the city as the dividing line, they deployed dozens of kilometers of defense in the southwest. Now they have just broken through a hole.

If they were allowed to continue to attack the second line of defense, they would not be able to expand their openings, and now they are moving towards the two wings!

As a result, the soldiers on the second line of defense in Britain were instantly dumbfounded.

The main anti-tank weapons were deployed on the first line of defense, and they were deployed forward. When the gap was opened on this side, they remained in place to guard their own positions.

The muzzle of their anti-tank gun is forward.

And now, the German tanks are coming up from behind them!

”Quick, quick!” Dinassberg shouted loudly in a Panther 3 tank, and then he excitedly told the gunner beside him: ”Carl, ninety degrees on the right, found a 17-pounder, stop and fire!”

The British, the most powerful anti-tank gun, is the 17-pounder! This is also Dinasburg's favorite opponent.

Hearing his voice, Baker in front released the accelerator and stepped on the brakes. Amidst the turbulence of the tank, the loader completed the loading of the shells, while the gunner Karl Bowman stepped on the switch under his feet and the entire turret rotated.

Yes, he is the outstanding tank ace of later generations, and now, he is only 19 years old.

At the age of 18, he could not wait to sign up for the army, entered the Waffen-SS service, and after rigorous training in the rear, he became the gunner of the Panther 3 tank.

His battle is also being staged.

After the turret turned, Bowman saw the 17-pounder gun in his sight. At this time, the British were also anxious.

Behind one's own side, a German tank appeared. They did not continue to attack the second line of defense, but came to their own back!

Several gunners hurriedly pushed the cannon body, trying to turn the towed artillery around.

They have been standing up a long time ago, but the muzzle is forward, but now, they need to attack the target behind them!

Self-propelled anti-tank guns are the best, but during the war, there are not so many resources. To build self-propelled guns in one water, more of them are towed.

Therefore, in the whole World War II, the 50mm anti-tank gun was the most commonly used in Germany. This thing is very flexible. Two people can push and run, transfer positions and so on, very quickly.

The British’s 2-pounder and 6-pounder were the same idea, but because of limited firepower, they had to make a new 17-pounder.
