With a "boom", a "General Grant" tank was destroyed.

This is obviously done by the German anti-tank gun... In order to improve the penetration depth as much as possible, PAK38 uses more pure armor-piercing bombs. Although it cannot effectively kill tank crew members, it is not as exciting as high-explosive bombs or high-explosive armor-piercing bombs, it can ensure penetration and damage to the tanks.

The battlefield is not acting. The purpose of both the enemy and us is to weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness in a short period of time, rather than for visual effects.

And in fact, this is no difference, because after the tank is destroyed, the tank crew can only emerge from the tank to survive, and then... there is nothing else.

With a "boom", another "General Grant" tank was destroyed.

The British tank reacted very quickly. It immediately noticed the threat from the flanks, so it completed the steering in the shortest time.

This is obviously correct. The "General Grant" front armor is 51MM thick and has an inclination. It can barely withstand the armor-piercing shells of anti-tank guns about one kilometer.

But this did not bring it good luck, because at this time the 88 anti-aircraft gun took action.

The 88 anti-aircraft gun can penetrate the frontal armor of "Matilda" one kilometer away, and of course it is not a problem to attack the 51MM armor of the "General Grant" type tank.

Perhaps because the shells did not hit the key part, the "General Grant" tank looked very damaged on the surface, and it was just a little black smoke... I don't know if it was the smoke of the shells or the smoke of the tank parts.

Because of the black smoke, Qin Chuan could not even see the bullet holes in the tank armor, but he knew that the crew inside the tank was completely finished.

On the one hand, no one crawled out of it, and on the other hand, the 88 anti-aircraft gun has a high and initial velocity of 820 meters per second. High and initial velocity means that the projectile has a large kinetic energy, and the large kinetic energy means that the energy transferred to the target after hitting the target is also large... This is also one of the reasons why tank guns have basically changed from rifled guns to smoothbore guns after World War II.

It's like a high-speed car suddenly hitting a wall. Most of the crew members in the tank were shaken to death or dizzy, but this is actually not much difference, because after German soldiers go up, they will stuff a few grenades into it, even if it's just a tank wreck.

"Boom!" Another British tank was hit.

This tank is not so lucky. It was hit on the side by a high-explosive armor-piercing projectile... The 88 anti-aircraft gun often uses this kind of armor-piercing projectile with a slightly weak penetration due to its high penetration depth.

The effect of this armor-piercing bomb is completely different. After a roar, the ammunition in the tank exploded into a fireball... The explosion was so violent that the entire tank was blown up several meters high and then fell heavily back to the ground and turned over to the side.

"Follow the tank!" Qin Chuan shouted to the soldiers: "Use the tanks as cover!"

Not long ago, this was Kuhn's job, and now it is Qin Chuan's responsibility.

Kuhn said to Qin Chuan when he handed over to Qin Chuan: "I think you know what to do, just like I usually do!"

"Yes, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Don't think that soldiers know how to do it and don't give orders!" Kuhn said: "Your orders sometimes are not just orders, do you understand?"

Qin Chuan nodded to show his understanding.

Just like now, German soldiers actually know that they use tanks as cover after following tanks, and Qin Chuan's orders seem to be unnecessary.

But orders are sometimes not just orders, especially grassroots officers. Their shouts are sedatives to eliminate the inner fear of soldiers.

500 meters.

British soldiers tried to use anti-tank guns to organize a line of defense to block the attack of German tanks... because everyone knows that in this case, if German tanks break into the formation and kill for a while, it will cause a devastating blow to the First Armored Division.

But this attempt by the British army was obviously futile.

First of all, there is a cover of long-range artillery shells... This is the masterpiece of German artillery observers. Although there are not many artillery shells and are in short supply, there are still dozens of shells to cover the tank troops. At the same time, it is precisely because of the shortage of shells that the German army hopes to make good use of each shell, so some shells are bombed into the British camp very accurately, and an anti-tank gun that has not yet been set up to the sky.

Then there is the machine gun on the tank.

The German tanks did not fire any more than just came out of the bunker and fired a shell... This was to break into the British camp faster. If they wanted to fire, they had to use a short stop shooting method, which would undoubtedly give the British army more preparation or escape time.

However, machine guns can fire while the tank is driving, so many bullets are fired in the direction of the British army. The heat of the bullets brings steam at temperatures around zero degrees and then points directly to the British infantry exposed to the muzzle.

Rows of British soldiers fell down screaming, blood and broken feet flying in the desert. The dense bullets made the British soldiers lie on the ground and dared not move. It was nonsense to organize effective defense.

300 meters.

At this time, the German soldiers following the tank also played a role. They leaned out from behind the tank and shot at the British army. The machine gunners consciously occupied the hills, and stones and even tank wrecks that were penetrated by armor-piercing bullets were used as machine gun positions to suppress the British army.

Soon, 50MM mortars were also set up to smash dense shells at the British army... This is the most lethal reason. The reason is that 50MM mortars were equipped in the German army, with one in each platoon and the number of ammunitions carried by each door was 50 rounds. In addition to the high-fire rate of the mortar, a tight barrage could be blown up on the enemy's position in a short time.

Just like now... the British army wanted to organize a line of defense with anti-tank guns, but now it has been blown into ruins by 50MM mortar shells.

100 meters.

When Qin Chuan leaned out and pulled the trigger, he found that the British army had begun to escape.

The British army left the tanks and equipment to escape... The tanks did not have time to turn around, and even if they turned around, they would expose the weak rear armor to the enemy. The tall body of the "General Grant" style will undoubtedly become a good target for the enemy, which caused the British tank soldiers to emerge from the tanks and escape.

But even this is not helpful, because German tanks were leading teams of German soldiers like hungry wolfs to chase each other, shooting at the British.
