The battles became white-hot at the first time... Tank wars are often like this. They pay attention to speed, so they often line up to catch up with the enemy and shoot at the first time.

The British army was more prepared and there were more tanks, so the shells fired from the British army poured towards the German army like raindrops.

In fact, this is also due to the three-layer body design of the "General Grant" tank... This thing is equipped with two guns, one with a 37MM tank gun on the top and the other with a 75MM gun on the right side of the center.

In addition, the "General Grant" tank has a wide body and a large interior space, so the two guns have a large ammunition capacity... The former is 178 rounds and the latter is 46 rounds.

Therefore, as soon as the war started, the British army fired shells at the German army, one after another, almost without stopping.

This is also a reflection of the insufficient training level of British tank crew. Its 37MM caliber artillery has a depth of only 36MM within 500 meters, and it cannot penetrate the front armor of the "No. 3" tank at all. Therefore, it is actually doing useless work, and the 75MM cannon is really working.

However, the 75MM cannon's firing range is very narrow, and the distance between the enemy and us is more than 700 meters. So although grenades and armor-piercing bombs poured into the German tanks like raindrops, most of them failed to hit.

This actually made Colonel Detrich, the commander of the 15th Armored Regiment, feel a little relieved... At first, he was also frightened by the new British tanks. He thought his troops would definitely be wiped out now. Next, the enemy tanks would break into his camp and launch a massacre.

It is actually normal for Colonel Detrich to think so, because anyone will feel fear of unfamiliar things, especially tank soldiers, because not understanding the performance of enemy equipment means that they are likely to attack their strengths with their own shortcomings.

What's more, the "General Grant" tank is still very big... This guy is more than three meters tall, one turret higher than an ordinary tank.

More importantly, the new equipment that appears on the battlefield is often a targeted weapon developed by the enemy after understanding the performance of their equipment, so they are usually their nemesis.

But the situation was a little different at this time...

The "General Grant" tank was not a equipment developed for the German "No. 3" tank. It was the British army's urgent and the US reinforcement of the "Stuart" tank was unable to fight against the "No. 3" tank, so the tanks that were urgently redirected were not even rigorously tested.

At this time, Colonel Detrich saw that the strange tank did not have much firepower after the war started, so he felt confident.

"Stay, keep steady..." When the British tanks approached a little more, Colonel Detrich ordered: "Shoot!"

With the sound of cannons, several British tanks hit on the opposite side were immediately beaten and paralyzed, and several even detonated ammunition in the cabin were blown away and flew far away.

Seeing this, Colonel Detrich was overjoyed... Before this, he was worried that although the giant was not strong in firepower, it might have been particularly thick in armor, but now it seems that this is not the case.

However, Colonel Detrich was obviously too happy. British tanks had a numerical advantage. As the distance between the enemy and us became closer, the accuracy of the 75MM tank gun of the "General Grant" tank became higher and higher.

This is not to say that the accuracy of American artillery is not good, but the British tanks lack experienced crew operation, and the disadvantage of this will not appear so obvious as the distance is closer.

This 75MM tank gun can penetrate 100MM of vertical homogeneous armor at a distance of 500 meters. Of course, it is no problem to penetrate the 47MM armor of the "No. 3" tank.

So the two sides launched a fierce destruction battle... Both sides could easily penetrate each other's armor, comparing who could shoot shells as fast as possible. This was a bit like the time when the guns were fired, in neat formations between the enemy and us shot each other. The difference was that both the enemy and us were not people but tanks.

Soon, another harsh whistling sound came from the sky, and the fighter planes of the enemy and us joined the battle again, and the battlefield was in chaos... Bullets, shells, tanks, fighter planes, etc., entangled in smoke and dust, were doing their best to kill each other.

In the eyes of Qinchuan and German soldiers, teams of fighter planes roared through the air and rushed to the battlefield a few kilometers away. Then waves of dull explosions came from the distance, like thunder.

"What happened?" Werner asked.

"It should be the 15th Armored Division and the enemy who fought!" Kuhn poked his head out of the back compartment and said, "It seems that the fight was very fierce!"

"What should we do?" A recruit asked anxiously: "Shouldn't we go to reinforcements?"

"Relax, Private!" said Yakopp, "They will give us orders!"

Sure enough, the order came down shortly after.

But the order is not to reinforce but to garrison on the spot.

"Be ready to deal with enemy tanks!" Bazel shouted: "The British have equipped new tanks, so build fortifications to bring the anti-tank grenades up!"

Bazer's words caused a lot of shock to the soldiers, because the Germans rarely failed in tank battles... The previous failure was to face the British "Matilda", but it was resolved soon. What new tanks will the British have now?

Qin Chuan knew the answer... It should be the "General Grant" tank that appeared.

"Sergeant!" At this time, General Streck's command car stopped in front of the position. The adjutant sitting in the passenger cab leaned out and waved to Qin Chuan, saying, "Come on the car, Sergeant, the general needs to talk to you!"

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan stopped the work in his hand, put away the engineer's shovel and ran towards the command car.

"We are in trouble, Sgt.!" After Qin Chuan got in the car, Colonel Albridge raised a piece of paper in his hand: "The British are equipped with new tanks. Have you ever seen such tanks?"

Qin Chuan went up and saw that the picture was painted on the paper was a "General Grant"-style tank.

"No, no, colonel!" Qin Chuan shook his head.

Of course, Qin Chuan had to answer no, this was a tank just produced by the United States, and there were not many people who knew about it.

"They have at least eighty!" General Streck said: "As far as we know now, the performance of this tank will not be worse than our tanks. The 15th Armored Division has suffered heavy losses and can't hold on!"

Of course Qin Chuan knew this, otherwise the 21st Armored Division should not have been stationed on the spot but instead reinforced the 15th Armored Division.

Another meaning of on-site garrison is that the German army will retreat completely... but they must fight and go with the retreat, otherwise the British army will chase after them all the way.
