Chapter 677: Rubber tank

Triangle formation, attack!
The entire tank battalion is lined up in the most adept attack queue. Small triangles form a big triangle. This is like a wedge that can be inserted directly into the opponent. At the same time, the safety of the two wings is also very easy. Guaranteed.
The rear engine was emitting black smoke, and the diesel engine was running at full speed. Although this tank was mainly used on the European plains, it was originally designed, manufactured and tested in the deserts of Libya. Therefore, the combat environment in the tropics was taken into consideration from the beginning.
The radiator is specially enlarged, so there is no need to worry about the engine overheating.
In front of them were panicked Italian soldiers. These soldiers who had retreated, rushed towards the armored unit.
"Never mind them!" Carl shouted over the radio. These Italians are really ashamed!
They were also clever. When they found that the German tank troops were coming, they realized something was wrong, and they immediately broke up to the two wings, leaving room for the tanks to attack.
The defeated soldiers gradually dispersed, and the front was finally clean! Carl's gaze was placed on the British tanks in the distance. Those tanks looked tall and mighty, but there was another weirdness that couldn't be explained. He couldn't tell what it was, and it felt wrong.
Yes, in their formation, there is no engine black smoke coming out, don't their engine smoke? Moreover, when they rushed past, they still didn't move?
Too strange! Ordinarily, they should have rushed forward as well!
At this time, Carl did not get into the turret. It is said that at this distance, he should have entered a fighting state. He continued to hold his binoculars and stared at the tank in the distance.
With the high-speed advance, the distance between your own tank and the opponent is getting closer!
In the telescope, it became clearer and clearer. At this time, on every tank, the captain was shouting loudly: "Armor-piercing bullets, reload!"
The battle between blood and fire is about to begin!
However, Karl promptly stopped the wasted ammunition: "Use the machine gun first!"
Machine gun, hit the tank? On each of the tanks, the radio operator called out the command to the commander, who was very strange.
However, they immediately executed the order. The loader pushed the top cover, exposed his head, and operated the machine gun on the top of the turret.
At the same time, Carl also put down the telescope, pushed the machine gun on the turret, and fired at the enemy tank in front!
The sound of shooting like a chainsaw was blaring, and along with the sound, the 7.92 mm machine gun bullets were blasted at the opposite tank, frantically!
Machine gun hit the tank!
I saw a bullet hit the opposite tank, and after that, the tank suddenly became discouraged, slowly shrinking, shrinking, and finally, staying on the ground and becoming flat.
At this time, everyone understood that these so-called tanks are actually inflatable rubber tanks!
Yes, it is the rubber tank!
When the Italian army marched towards Egypt and broke through the Suez Canal in one fell swoop, General Wavell, the British commander-in-chief in the Middle East, had only an army of more than 30,000 men and an incomplete tank division in his hands.
Facing the disparity in military strength, Wavell had a whim and created this "rubber force."
This rubber tank can be used for patrol missions after it is full of gas. After releasing the gas, it can be put into a cricket bag for easy carrying; the "wild cannon" can be put in a biscuit box; the two-ton rubber truck has no ammunition box after the gas is released Big.
At the same time, in order to be realistic, engineers made traces of tank tracks. The British army also let Arabs lead groups of camels in the desert. The camel drags the rake-shaped device behind it, and when it walks, it will lift up dust in the sky, and the observation from the air is like a huge tank column in motion.
At the same time, they have tried again and again. As long as such a tank unit is placed next to the Italian army, they will immediately retreat!
Now, the British army is seizing the important port of Tobrug, and suddenly found an Italian army reinforcements here, so they did the same, let people bring these rubber tanks and secretly came to the rear of the Italian army. , And then inflated and put out the battle.
As a result, I met a real guy this time!
In the radio, curses and relaxed ridicule sounded constantly, so much so that Karl had to remind him to pay attention to the radio communication regulations, which made the ear roots clear.
The tank unit quickly moved into the opponent's rubber unit. At this time, only a few hundred Indian soldiers maintained this huge armored unit.
Yes, it is the Indian soldiers. These Asams recruited from the British colonies have always treated themselves as second-class citizens and followed the British in the conquest.
The British were not strong enough, so they dispatched a part of their troops from India and stationed them in Egypt. At this time, when they saw tanks coming by, they raised their hands high and shouted surrender in English. .
Can't play, the other party is not afraid of their own rubber tank!
At this time, the Italian soldiers who had retreated also stopped their retreat. When they saw that British tanks were killed by machine guns, they were also quite shocked, until the bold, following the German tanks. When I ran over to check, I discovered the whole story, and my face flushed.
"Now, the British must have thought that we were scared off. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will solve the British army in Tobrug in one fell swoop. They are all rubber tanks, don't be afraid!"
Standing on his tank, Carl shouted to the Italian soldiers: "You just have to follow our tank~EbookFREE.me~ to watch the British prisoners, just like now!"
Italian soldiers can't fight, but now, taking prisoners is good.
Moreover, seeing that the British are all rubber tanks, the fear in their hearts has disappeared. Follow the German tanks, don't be afraid!
But, soon, their enthusiasm faded, no, they were hungry.
Where's the cooking soldier? Hurry up, hurry up, cook a bowl of spaghetti first! Also, open a few bottles of red wine to celebrate this victory!
Seeing the Italian soldiers who had just fled and lost their guns, they began to celebrate the victory here. Karl was finally speechless. With these people, to win the battle, the sun came out from the west.
If you want to command them to win the battle, there is only one way to replace them, all commanders, with German soldiers! At the same time, a batch of deserters were severely executed!
Looking at these Italian soldiers, Carl spat out fiercely. Let them eat noodles first, let's go!
