Imperial Overlord

After playing for a long time, I don't even know which army my opponent is. It's really funny. . fastest update

How powerful the fighting power of the German army is, only the front-line soldiers who have really fought against the German army can feel it.

When an m3lee tank passed the wreckage of a burning m3 tank next to it and moved towards the German position in the distance, the commander in the turret finally saw his opponent clearly.

He saw a German Stalker tank destroyer camouflaged behind a building, and he saw the long barrels on the tank destroyer.

The German tank destroyer was not targeting the m3lee at all, but was firing at other British tanks on the other side.

Taking advantage of this time difference, the m3lee tank finally adjusted its angle and fired a cannon at the target.

Although this shell was aimed at its own target, and it really hit the German stalker tank destroyer, unfortunately because of the relationship between the angle and the caliber, the 37mm caliber shell did not penetrate the chase. Front armor of the Hunter tank.

The most vulnerable side armor of the German stalker was covered by the wall on the side of the bunker at this time, and it was impossible to fire at all.

The exposed front tank armor of the Stalker tank destroyer is a 60mm thick inclined armor, and its ballistic resistance is quite strong.

The armor on the front of the Stalker was originally aimed at most of the Allied tanks in the late World War II, and could even prevent the Allied M4 tanks from 75mm caliber artillery at a long distance.

And the 37mm caliber artillery has no threat to the frontal armor of the Stalker tank destroyer.

But now the British tank commander is depressed and found that if he wants to use a more powerful main gun to bombard the opponent, he also has to turn his tank body to do so. The 75mm caliber of the m3lee tank is equipped on the right side of the body. .

This design is a backward solution before World War II, which allows the m3lee tank to have 6 tank drivers, but can only adjust the body to gain an angle to use a more powerful main gun like the Stalker tank destroyer!

The most criticized thing about such a design is that the small-caliber artillery on the fastest turret is often unable to destroy the most threatening targets, while the most powerful artillery often has no chance to fire.

The main reason for this problem is that there is a misjudgment in the original design of this type of tank, so this type of tank is doomed to fail.

"10 o'clock! Do you see that pile of buildings? It's in the ruins! The enemy is there! There!" Before there was time to fire at the target, the commander of the m3lee tank loudly reminded his companions.

If it is 1 o'clock or 2 o'clock, he can let the 75mm caliber gun on his tank body fire directly, but the opponent is on his left side, in the dead angle of the main gun's shooting!

"Dang!" In the firing German Stalker tank destroyer, everyone heard a crisp sound like a hammer hitting the car body.

Everyone shuddered subconsciously, and then they found that they had not been penetrated, and the end had not yet come to their heads.

"We were hit! We were hit!" Inside the destroyer, the German crew shouted nervously. The driver was ready to start the engine and backed away from the defensive position.

"Side, a British tank! Aim at it and fire! It was just a small shell just now, don't be nervous! Don't be nervous!" The commander stuck his head out and saw the m3lee tank in the distance.

He saw the small artillery on the turret that the opponent had aimed at himself. Obviously, this artillery did not have the ability to penetrate the frontal armor of the Stalker.

"Bang!" The slender artillery on the turret of the opponent's tank spewed flames again, and a shell flew towards the Stalker tank destroyer that was discovered.

Sure enough, the 37mm caliber shell still did not penetrate the front armor of the Stalker tank destroyer, but left a shallow pit on it, and the shell was bounced into the distance.

In the process, the artillery of the German Stalker tank destroyer adjusted its angle a little bit, and it pointed at the m3lee tank.

After thinking about his own situation, the m3lee tank also began to turn, facing his frontal armor to the stalker's position.

As the steering angle became larger and larger, the 75mm caliber cannon on the right side of the m3lee tank exposed its dark barrel a little bit.

In the German tank destroyer, the angle of lateral movement of the artillery of the Stalker tank is also limited. It can't turn its turret like a tank and point it to the target it wants to attack without any obstacles.

Seeing that the angle of his artillery had come to an end, the stalker's gunner found that the angle of his artillery to attack the opponent was not enough.

Because the Stalker tank destroyer has to avoid the front gearbox, the artillery itself can only be installed on the right side of the hull.

The problem caused by this design is also very prominent, that is, when the gun is fired to the left, the angle that can be adjusted is much smaller than when it is fired to the right.

At the same time that the British m3lee tank could not use the gun on its right, the stalker on the German side could not aim at the distant target.

"Damn! We need to adjust the car body!" The driver was in front of the gunner. He reached out and patted the driver's shoulder twice, signaling the other side to reverse the car and adjust.

At this time, the m3lee tank is still turning. Seeing the more powerful 75mm caliber artillery, it is about to obtain an angle where it can shoot.

"Boom!" At this moment, a shell flew from not far away, directly hitting the side armor of the m3lee tank that was turning, and suddenly penetrated the thin side armor plate of the tank.

This attack caused the m3lee tank to stop turning, and stopped there, motionless, with a puff of blue smoke.

"Car No. 2! You seem to be in trouble?" The commander of Car No. 4, who had just opened fire to help the No. 2 car to clear the siege, asked very rudely over the radio.

"Thank you for your help! Just take care of yourself!" The commander of the No. 2 car looked at the m3lee tank that was smoking and stopped everything, pressed the intercom, and answered.

"Boom!" Before the thank you could land, the artillery of the British Army began to attack. A cannonball landed in the city of Benha. The huge explosion lifted half of the wall, and the wall disintegrated in the air. fell, stirring up more dust.

"Concealment! Pay attention to concealment! Shelling! Enemy shelling!" In the German radio, a sound of reminder sounded, and the Stalker tank, which was originally hidden in the building, had to start to leave its defensive position.

"Boom!" Not far away, a stalker tank had really bad luck. It was directly hit by the shell from the British artillery, and it broke into a pile of scrap metal.

"Confirm! Confirm! Which tank was hit? Which tank was hit?" Someone saw the Stalker tank destroyer that was destroyed by the shells, saw the steel plate splashing around, and other messes Components.

"Car No. 1 is still there!" The confirmation voice of Car No. 1 sounded in the headset. The captain of car No. 2 instructed to reverse the car, and also confirmed: "Car No. 2 is still there!"

"Car No. 3 is still here!..." After Car No. 3 confirmed, the long silence made everyone understand the fact that their No. 4 car would never be able to answer.

"Bruce got hit! Damn it!" The second commander cursed loudly on the radio while reversing.

At this time, the British shelling was still going on, and one shell after another fell on the German positions. At the same time, the German artillery was also desperately fighting back, attacking the retreating tanks of the British ** team.

In the chaos, both sides adjusted their status, and soon started a new round of fighting.

British tanks were destroyed one by one, but they never got close to the center of Benha. The German grenadiers covered the stubborn defense of the Stalker tank destroyer in the city, and did not give the British ** team the slightest chance.

In the evening, the sun had not yet set. On the positions of both sides, the German mg-34 machine guns were still roaring, and the British Bren machine guns were also roaring non-stop.

On the streets of the city, the bodies of British soldiers and German soldiers were lying down. Parts of the building had collapsed due to the shelling, and there were soldiers from both sides hidden in the ruins, or a huge Stalker tank destroyer.

The defenses of the 10th Mechanized Infantry Division were too tenacious, costing the British 7th Armoured Division dearly. But at this time General Auchinleck did not dare to continue the attack~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because he was worried about the safety of his flank.

The hundreds of No. 3 tanks that Rommel rampaged on have not appeared until now. In this case, Auchinleck could only leave 100 tanks as a reserve, and did not dare to push all of them to the front line to fight the frontal German troops.

In the frontal attack, he used 90 tanks, but during the attack, the British army lost 40 tanks, but only destroyed 9 German tank destroyers.

This loss seriously hindered the attack of the 7th Armored Division. When Auchinleck was undecided and did not know whether to continue the attack, even worse news came that the German reconnaissance unit appeared outside Cairo!

"Rommel did not intend to fight us in Benha... He took his troops to Cairo..." After dropping the telegram, General Auchinleck in the tent glanced at the commander of the 7th Armored Division and said in despair .

"Your Excellency General, overwhelm all the troops...Eat the German army in front of us, we seem to have a chance of winning!" The division commander of the 7th Armored Division suggested.

"It's too late... After all, we still failed to hold Cairo..." Auchinleck waved his hand, and seemed to be ten years old for a moment. (To be continued...)
