There is no turning back in tank encounters, especially when the speeds of the enemy and us are not much different and they enter range.

The reason is very simple. If you turn around and escape at this time, it means exposing the weakest rear of the armor to the muzzle of the enemy tank. The enemy can chase and fire until all the targets are eliminated.

Therefore, the showdown between tanks and tanks is often the most cruel. There is only one choice between the enemy and us... advance until the enemy is destroyed or oneself is destroyed.

Of course, if the German army faced the British "Matilda" with a speed of only 10 kilometers per hour, it would be a different matter.

Qin Chuan felt something was wrong when he heard the fierce gunfire sound in front of him, because most of the artillery fire came from the enemy's direction, and if the German army encountered a British convoy, this situation would be almost impossible.

Sure enough, Kuhn ordered: "After encountering enemy tank troops, prepare to get off!"

Qin Chuan thought that the German soldiers would complain a few times at this time, after all, this was Colonel Albridge's mistake.

But what surprised Qin Chuan was that the soldiers said nothing, including Werner.

This can be said to be a manifestation of German soldiers' obedience, unity and quality.

Obedience and unity are easy to understand. Soldiers must obey superiors’ orders unconditionally, even if this order is wrong. At the same time, only unity can the soldiers have combat effectiveness and can even turn defeat into victory.

The quality is that German soldiers realize that complaining, complaining, and regretting at this time is useless. All they can do is to try their best to stand with their superiors to overcome difficulties, otherwise things will become worse and will eventually affect themselves.

If it were just one, two German soldiers who thought about doing this, it might not have any effect, but if the entire army was like this... then this would condense into a terrible force.

The car followed the tank and the car carrying the artillery had stopped, which was determined by the longer range of the artillery.

I saw German soldiers jumping off the car, carrying guns and shells. Each soldier knew what he should do, even if several shells flew around him from time to time and bombed several German soldiers into the sky.

Further forward, anti-tank guns were also mounted, perhaps because anti-tank guns were lighter and more convenient. When Qin Chuan saw them, the artillery soldiers had already fired shells at the opposite side.

Ironically, the German artillery used the British 6-pound anti-tank gun...

With a "boom", a car suddenly stopped as if it hit a pillar, and a scream from the soldiers came from the car.

The car was hit by an armor-piercing projectile.

The characteristic of armor-piercing bombs is that they do not charge drugs, that is, they do not explode, and rely only on kinetic energy to penetrate the target, so the damage it can cause after hitting the car is very limited... Most of the screams of the ten soldiers in the car are fragments caused by armor-piercing bombs when they destroy the car, but the casualties are very limited.

This is a characteristic of British tanks, or it can also be said to be a common problem in tank warfare.

Tanks generally carry two types of shells, one is to penetrate deep but not explode armor-piercing shells.

Another type is high-explosive bombs that will explode and produce a large number of fragments, mainly used to kill infantry soldiers.

This will cause a problem: if the enemy has tanks and infantry, what shells should be chosen?

When loading the armor-piercing bomb, it is possible that the target tank has sailed out of its own field of view, but the tank is powerless to face the large number of infantry in front of it.

Install high-explosive bombs and the infantry can hide behind the tanks...

These situations often make tanks waste fighter jets at a loss.

So a shell that combines the strengths of both appeared: high-explosive armor-piercing shells.

The high-explosion armor-piercing bomb is only charged in the second half, the front half is responsible for penetrating the armor, and the rear half explodes inside the tank. This not only solves the problems mentioned earlier, but also causes greater damage to the target tank... Pure armored bombs sometimes hit the target and do not cause too much damage to the target and personnel.

But "the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny." The high-explosive armor-piercing shells produced by the British army are loaded with "picy acid" charges. The explosive itself is sensitive to impact, which makes the British army's high-explosive armor-piercing shells often explode in advance the moment the artillery shells collide with tank armor. This not only fails to cause damage to the target, but also reduces the armor-piercing ability in a certain range. Therefore, the more common method used by British tank soldiers is to not bring high-explosive shells but only armor-piercing shells... The matter of dealing with infantry is to artillery or machine guns.

There is no problem with German artillery shells. The German high-explosion armor-piercing bomb is a TNT charge that is relatively insensitive to impact. A buffer cap made of plastic is also installed above the charge chamber, which can effectively prevent the high-explosion armor-piercing bomb from explodeing when hitting the surface.

The advantages and disadvantages of this point will soon be reflected on the battlefield... Both sides both chose cars and armored vehicles behind the other side's tanks as their targets because they are larger and easier to break through.

However, the British tank's armor-piercing bombs hit the German car and even penetrated a hole. Some cars were hit by several shots and still drove forward. Even if they were broken and stopped, most of the soldiers inside were slightly injured.

However, the German armor-piercing bomb hit the British car, but it exploded inside the car with a bomb. The explosion was not fierce because there was not much load, but because it exploded inside, there were not many soldiers inside that could walk down... Later, when cleaning the battlefield, Qin Chuan saw a car hit by the German high-explosive armor-piercing bomb. There was no big problem outside the car, but the British army in the rear car was already covered in blood.

With a "chi...", the car braked suddenly, and Qin Chuan and the soldiers fell forward together due to inertia.

Before everyone could react, Kuhn shouted hysterically at the soldiers: "Get out of the car, get off!"

The soldiers stood up and jumped at the fastest speed with their respective weapons. In addition to the order, there was also fear from the heart... Everyone, including the recruits, knew that cars were the best targets for the enemy, especially cars that could not be stopped.

Facts also proved that the soldiers' ideas were correct. The moment Kuhn jumped out of the car, a shell passed through the left side of the cab through the glass and shot out from the right rear. Qin Chuan only heard a whistling sound of air, just like a small plane flying overhead.

Looking at the car, half of the car had been lifted off... Fortunately, there was no one in the car, so no casualties were caused.

Soon Qin Chuan discovered that he was wrong because the driver was still in the cab. Although they were not hit by shells, the bursting glass was inserted into their faces, necks, and bodies at an extremely high speed.
