Will the sharp-eyed wolfman let the prey to his mouth? Not now. When he saw the British tanks start reversing and retreating, he let his "Mr. Driver" drive out of the tank.
The tiger tank engine made a huge roar, and the piston was pushed by the expanding gas and began to work madly. As the driver closed the clutch gear, the tank immediately moved forward.
The wide track was driven by the driving wheel, and along with the roar of the engine, it rolled forward and instantly smashed the remaining residual broken wall that was caught in front of the track. The tiger tank was raised by the caused by the collapse of the wall, and then with the sudden flatness of the terrain, it was heavily pressed back to the ground due to the influence of gravity, and a burst of dust was splashed.
Then the Tiger tank sprayed with No. 007 was full horsepower. At the maximum speed it could travel, it began to rush towards the retreating British tank troops.
"The gunner! The first tank on the left! Roughly aim! When we are done, let our driver stop!" Weitman issued a command with the continuity of the car body shaking: "Heading the machine gun to fire! Fire those British infantry Drive away from us! We have no time to deal with these little fish and shrimp! "
"Stop!" With a shout, Weitman's Tiger tank stopped flexibly. The cannon was adjusted slightly for two seconds, and an armor-piercing projectile was fired. The huge impact made the Tiger tank. Shake back and forth twice.
"Boom!" The shells hit the target again, and the rain hit the German tank steel with a crisp ticking sound, which sounded very pleasing to the eye. The sight of two German tanks striking forward in the rain remained in the heart of all German grenadiers and British troops.
After seeing the British retreat, one German tank after another rushed out of their concealed position, and the number was so large that the British were surprised. They did not know that there were so many German tanks here, nor did they expect these German tanks to unreasonably take the initiative to attack the British army.
After many years have passed, some people still remember this crazy rainy night, remembering the situation where the muddy water rolled up in the rain and rushed towards the British armored forces like a tiger. In the smoky rain, the German armored forces once again created a miracle, only their miracle.
Weitman took his teammates to fight a classic defensive counterattack with a tank company. Five German Tiger tanks pursued 3 kilometers in one breath, and only then gave up the massacre of the British troops before arriving in the small village abandoned before. Along the way, a whole armored British tank force dropped the wreckage of more than fifty tanks.
Germany used a textbook-like tactic to stun the British armored forces and also completely woke up the arrogant British. If people began to realize the strength of the German armored forces during the battle of France, then the world did not really confirm how far the armored forces in their hands were from the German armored forces after the battle of the woods and this small village tank battle. Huge.
With Wetman firing commands one after another, the British tanks blazed in the heavy rain, one after another, like a long light, illuminating the gray battlefield with flames jumping in the rain. In just 50 minutes of fighting, the British tank regiment was counterattacked by a German tank company, killing almost half of the tanks.
The lieutenant tank captain named Mitchell Weitman proved the excellence of the German armored forces with his own actual actions, proved the excellence of his armored tactical command, and proved that only luck can affect the ranking of the German tank. Nothing else.
After this massacre, the second killer of the German tank set a new record for the German tank and the single tank destroying the enemy tank, and jumped into the new German number one tank battle ace-because the original ace Ren was at the moment at the moment. The line was closed and did not participate in any combat missions.
This is Weitman, which is to be able to seize all opportunities. As long as he is given a fighter, he can continue to expand his advantage until he destroys his opponent so that his opponent can never turn over.
If Rennes is the cruel death who is ignoring life and death and fighting with a detached attitude, then Wittmann is the most deadly sharp blade hidden in the dark. Although the styles of the two are slightly different, for the enemy of the German armored forces, they may be the most reluctant to see any of them.
Through this long spring rain, the United Kingdom launched an unprecedented powerful counterattack and invested almost all the forces they could find. The British 6th and 7th Army, including 150,000 infantry, entered the battle. The battle was at the beginning. It's almost fiery in the first minute.
In the cold heavy rain, the German grenadiers stood by their defensive positions, and the tracer bombs were particularly prominent under the gray sky. In one foxhole, most of the German soldiers who had been soaked into soup were shivers and opened fire. , Poured out ammunition in his weapons against the counterattack British troops.
On the artillery position, raindrops from the sky hit the barrel of the German 150 mm caliber artillery. Several artillery pieces of this artillery battalion blew up their own battalion shells within two hours of the war, so in the continuous rain they had to wait for the rear shells to be replenished.
In order to increase the firepower density and assault capability of the landing force, the majority of the German support artillery units were Friedrich rocket artillery units, but the 150 mm caliber artillery was a minority. Most frontline troops rely on 105mm howitzers and 120 mortars and other weapons as support.
Therefore, in some areas, the German army was suppressed by the British artillery force with a numerical advantage. Many defense lines were too violent because of the British artillery coverage, and there was a danger that the British troops would break through the position.
However, the German defenders used their actions to prove to the British what kind of troops are considered to be the world's strongest troops. They endured the bitter cold in the wild, suffered various unfavorable factors, and stubbornly blocked the British attack.
The fierce battle for the position reminded Montgomery of the Battle of Versailles during the First World War. The Germans relied on the defensive position built by the grass, and dragged the battle into the middle of the night.
The British team lost 15,000 soldiers and still failed to break through the defense line of the German Grenadier. In some areas, the British could not be attacked for a long time, and the Germans could even draw troops to organize a partial counterattack, forcing the British to be forced. Retreat.
"It's not a way to fight like this." Montgomery stared at the map and said with a sigh: "German armored troops are indeed not the enemies we can defeat now. If we continue to entangle with these elite German tanks, we will not only win Without going back to the expected position, even the limited reserve team will be lost. "
"But, General, Prime Minister Churchill strictly ordered us to recapture some of the most important port towns. If we can't complete the task, the Prime Minister and the King are not easy to explain." The adjutant said entangledly.
"I didn't say I want to stop the offense, I just want to change the way of fighting." Montgomery pointed to the map and said: "We will not make any progress in counterattacks. It is better to gather all the forces and attack Norwich and Great Yarmouth. These are two places! It would be best if we can recapture Norwich by chance, if we can't recap Norwich, then find a way to make a fuss in Great Yarmouth. "
In fact, the British offensive force is not doing nothing on this day. They successfully repelled the siege of Bunge by the German a group army, and released the crisis from the already surrounded Benji city on three sides. In this direction, there was a large-scale interpenetrating attack between the infantry of the two sides. The British army killed 617 Germans at the cost of more than 1,200 soldiers and recaptured their positions several kilometers deep. They were called the Bunge victory by the journalists.
That night, the weather conditions improved, and the German army had more than 1,500 non-combat downfalls. The rain finally stopped. Although the dark clouds and strong winds remained, the German army finally held its position on the most difficult day. This result made the British counterattack. The troops were downcast, but the German defenders were cheering.
The British did not attack at night, which caused the German troops to take a breather for a long time. Because they could not take off the reconnaissance aircraft, Germany was not sure about the true size of the British counterattack forces this time, so they did not know that the British were dispatching troops. .
With the order of Montgomery, his heavily armored troops began to gather in the Lowestoft area, preparing to raid Norwich and Great Yarmouth in this direction. Along with these armored units, there was an infantry division of the 7th Army.
There is a very complete road network and railway network in Britain. Although the roads and railways in the landing area were destroyed by German bomber forces, the British movement was still very fast. They arrived at the theater in the afternoon of the next day, and then At 2:15 pm, the German defense was attacked on time.
This time the reaction of the German defenders was not so rapid. Lunderstedt did not know the movement and concentration of the main force of the British army. He could only passively strengthen all his defenses, and then pinched the reserve team to wait for the British thunder. One blow, when the Norwich battle started for the second time, he realized that his opponent changed his tactics and concentrated his strength in an attempt to compete for the Norwich area.
There are not many German reserve teams nearby, but Weitermann ’s 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion, which has just completed the battle of the village, is just between Bunge and Norwich, so this 502 heavy tank is not known fortunately or unfortunately. The battalion was ordered to go north and reinforce the town of Norwich.
While the 502th Battalion was being promoted, the second Norwich battle had begun. The difference is that this time the British attacked and the Germans defended.
