Chapter 89 The cheated British Army
The British tank company commander's angry shout was soon covered by the roar of an 88mm cannon, and several paratroopers around who failed to distance themselves in time were affected...
In the distance, a tiger-type heavy tank with straw on the car slowly showed its majesty.
If the second-line garrison troops in the occupied area may be equipped with the "cheetah" assault vehicle, then the killer weapons like the Tiger Heavy Tank are 100% not something that the second-rate troops can have.
Although I don’t know why I bumped into the German elite armored troops here, there is one idea that is common: run!
Run as fast as you can!
The weakest part of this thing has a thickness of 82 mm, and the armor is also made of nickel alloy steel, the best-quality armored steel at that time.
Although the Sanbazi I met before made a lot of achievements during World War II, if you really want to talk about the things that make the Allies top the head, you still have to look at the tiger style! The name is quite tiger, but in fact it is even harder than the turtle...
Such a monster appeared on a battlefield where it shouldn't have appeared, and the British Sherman was basically helpless... As for the paratroopers, there is no need to say...
At this moment, the paratroopers who could run ran away. The remaining British tanks barely launched a shot and struggled, and the crew immediately abandoned their car and ran away.
This battle cannot be fought!
If you can't wear someone else's armor, you can wear someone else's arms in one shot...
If you are in the wilderness, you can barely use maneuver to open up the space, or use irregular movements to avoid the opponent's gun aiming lock as much as possible. But now you are not in the wilderness, or even in the process of turning on a town road.
At this time, Sherman had one counted one, and they were all fixed targets! If you don’t abandon the car, just wait to be buried with Xie Mantou!
On the other hand, Chen Bin, who had cheated British companions, led the second platoon to withdraw from Nuannan in an orderly manner. While explaining the reason to his subsequent comrades, he went to find Winters...
Evacuation from the town can certainly solve the problem in front of you, but it cannot solve the future.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
Going to Winters, Chen Bin expressed his questions.
The situation in Nuannan Town is unknown, and the possibility of the German army being ambushed accounts for the majority. It is obviously not possible to enter directly, but bypass Nuannan... Chen Bin doesn't have the courage to...
It’s easy to bypass Nuannan, but what if you go by? Will the dumplings be made by Nhofen and Nuannan’s German troops?
From the tactical encirclement, dive into the strategic encirclement?
"Can you think of letting us evacuate, but you haven't thought about evacuating afterward?"
"This...isn't there, I'm not an officer either. Isn't this what you should consider..."
Chen Bin felt embarrassed when he touched his nose awkwardly.
When I felt something was wrong, I instinctively ordered the second platoon to suspend the attack and prepare for retreat. As for the impact on other brother units and the withdrawal, Chen Bin really never thought about it...
"When you were shot from Brewer, you were the platoon leader in the second platoon, and you should learn to think about these things!"
Winters glanced at Chen Bin and said with a hint.
"The specific situation will be discussed after the troops are brought together. You can first think about what you would do if you were a German army in the town... This idea will sometimes help you find a solution to the problem."
What will the German army do?
Chen Bin muttered to himself along Winters' thinking.
Chase?
The possibility is not high. If the other party has the ability to pursue him, why prepare for an ambush... Of course, this is not absolute. If the person has an absolute advantage, but if he wants to minimize his own losses as much as possible, he may choose to ambush without confronting him head-on; stand firm and wait for help?
It is possible that if the inference of the opponent's lack of strength is valid. Then it is also a meritorious for the German army in the town to stand firm and wait for assistance, defend Nuannan, and prevent the 101st Division from advancing towards Enhefen; evacuate?
The probability is low. If the other party does not have the will to resist, it is unlikely that an ambush will occur today...
Just as Chen Bin was thinking, he suddenly felt a sudden impact on his shoulder. Then he saw a man wearing British armored soldiers passing by, holding Winters' collar with red eyes and shouting:
"Why? Why did you suddenly give a retreat order?! I want to sue you, I want to go to the military court to sue you! You coward!"
"Hey! Calm down, what happened?"
After being pulled on the collar and recognizing that it was his own, Winters was not easy to stimulate the other party. He raised his hands while persuading. Seeing Winters being pulled on the collar, the paratroopers were not so polite...
Under the leadership of Glenry, a group of paratroopers quickly controlled the seemingly crazy armored soldiers.
"What happened? If you didn't suddenly order the paratroopers to retreat, we wouldn't have been stuck on the road! If we weren't stuck on the road, our company commander wouldn't have died!"
The armored soldiers who were pressed to the ground were still cursing...
"It's all because of you! You damn commander, don't care about the life or death of the friendly forces! Let me go!"
From the intermittent scolding of the armored soldiers, Chen Bin understood what was going on.
Because of his own reasons, Winters ordered the E Company to retreat. The tank that lost the cover of the infantry was just a moving target in street battle. Whether it was the cluster bomb thrown in the corridor or the anti-tank rocket launcher that suddenly stretched out from the corner, it could kill this guy...
They had to retreat, but the tanks were not as flexible as anyone.
Especially on narrow roads, it is most taboo to suddenly turn the armored troops. Just like the heavy cavalry in ancient times, once they start charging, it is difficult to stop suddenly or change directions.
The result of forcibly squeezing the horse is to turn people over...
But, Chen Bin, who was neglecting armored soldiers training, forgot this point, and Winters, who was also not from an armored soldiers, did not consider it.
It directly led to the British tank company being named by the German tiger when it turned around on a city road...
Wait, tiger style?!
How could there be a tiger style?!
Chen Bin was shocked. He said that, his judgment was right!
"Captain! Town..."
"Your judgment is right! You did right, I ignored the situation of the armored soldiers, and the responsibility lies with me."
Waving his hand to stop Chen Bin's next words, Winters turned his head.
"Ruz! Report to the command center that we met the main German force in Nuannan. The road we attacked Nhofen was blocked, and we probably could not march towards Anheng according to the scheduled plan!"
"In addition, more than half of the British tank company were injured and killed, and all the tanks were destroyed..."
"We will retreat outside the town of Nuannan, in the woods in the south, waiting for the next order... or support!"
At night, Chen Bin, who was sleeping soundly in the fox pit, was suddenly awakened by the roar of a plane.
The dark night made Chen Bin unable to distinguish the camp of the big birds in the air, but soon... the camp no longer matters...
