Chapter 781: Move to 2 wings

The tank attack is of course tactical.
Rushing up in a swarm, relying on the powerful strength of the tank to defeat the opponent's defense line, this is not impossible, but the efficiency of doing so is too low.
German tanks have the highest combat efficiency when used. In their offensive, the more commonly used tactic is to seek a breakthrough in one position. After a breakthrough, they immediately move towards the opponent’s two wings and tear apart the larger ones. Mouth!
Just leaning on the mouse tank, opened a small gap, and then the Panther 3 tank swarmed up, thus opening a large gap and breaking through the opponent's first line of defense.
The first line of defense for the British was quite long. With the Thames River flowing through the center of the city as the dividing line, they deployed dozens of kilometers of defense in the southwest. Now they have just broken through a hole.
If they were allowed to continue to attack the second line of defense, they would not be able to expand their openings, and now they are moving towards the two wings!
As a result, the soldiers on the second line of defense in Britain were instantly dumbfounded.
The main anti-tank weapons were deployed on the first line of defense, and they were deployed forward. When the gap was opened on this side, they remained in place to guard their own positions.
The muzzle of their anti-tank gun is forward.
And now, the German tanks are coming up from behind them!
"Quick, quick!" Dinassberg shouted loudly in a Panther 3 tank, and then he excitedly told the gunner beside him: "Carl, ninety degrees on the right, found a 17-pounder, stop and fire!"
The British, the most powerful anti-tank gun, is the 17-pounder! This is also Dinasburg's favorite opponent.
Hearing his voice, Baker in front released the accelerator and stepped on the brakes. Amidst the turbulence of the tank, the loader completed the loading of the shells, while the gunner Karl Bowman stepped on the switch under his feet and the entire turret rotated.
Yes, he is the outstanding tank ace of later generations, and now, he is only 19 years old.
At the age of 18, he could not wait to sign up for the army, entered the Waffen-SS service, and after rigorous training in the rear, he became the gunner of the Panther 3 tank.
His battle is also being staged.
After the turret turned, Bowman saw the 17-pounder gun in his sight. At this time, the British were also anxious.
Behind one's own side, a German tank appeared. They did not continue to attack the second line of defense, but came to their own back!
Several gunners hurriedly pushed the cannon body, trying to turn the towed artillery around.
They have been standing up a long time ago, but the muzzle is forward, but now, they need to attack the target behind them!
Self-propelled anti-tank guns are the best, but during the war, there are not so many resources. To build self-propelled guns in one water, more of them are towed.
Therefore, in the whole World War II, the 50mm anti-tank gun was the most commonly used in Germany. This thing is very flexible. Two people can push and run, transfer positions and so on, very quickly.
The British’s 2-pounder and 6-pounder were the same idea, but because of limited firepower, they had to make a new 17-pounder.
This gun weighs three tons! Just think about it. It’s not that easy to push such an anti-tank gun to turn.
Moreover, because this type of gun was developed urgently, there was no suitable gun mount, and the 25-pound field gun mount was temporarily used, which is even more burdensome.
If the British were given enough time to allow their 17-pounder guns to mature, especially the shelling armor-piercing projectiles that represented the world's anti-tank projectile trend did not appear, only ordinary steel-core rounds.
Several artillerymen hurriedly raised their artillery legs, trying to turn, and at this moment, the Panther 3 tank had already opened fire violently!
"Boom!" The 88mm grenade almost exploded next to the 17-pounder gun!
The fragments flew, and the gunners screamed. They were hit by the fragments and lifted by the airflow. Then, a more violent explosion came, and the ammunition box next to it was detonated!
"Boom!" In the blast of ammunition, with the anti-tank gun as the center, no more life could survive within ten meters of it. This huge explosion also made the British soldiers frightened.
The German tank is really terrible! And the German tanks that enter behind you are even more terrifying!
The battle on the front line was going on fiercely. At this time, the command post at the back was shocked.
Originally, I expected the anti-tank trenches to be able to block the Germans for a few days! And now, the Germans actually made a terrible tank, and they jumped over directly.
Our defense has been broken through a big hole~EbookFREE.me~ At this time, following this big hole, the German team is constantly pouring in! They did not develop toward their own depth, but from the side, they launched a charge toward their own two wings.
"Can't hesitate anymore, send out our tanks and countercharge!" Harold Alexander said towards Hobart.
Of course, your own tank is the most suitable for dealing with enemy tanks!
But now, the technical performance of the British tanks is too backward, and there is no one that can compete with the German tanks.
Therefore, Britain has always planned to use defensive tactics to solve it, but now, seeing the army on the first line of defense, it is possible to be eaten, they can no longer hesitate.
Up to now, the latest tank is still being tested and is being developed. The main force they guard London is the "Matilda" Mk.II infantry tank. The armor of this tank is still thick, but its The artillery, still a 2-pounder, has almost no ability to fight the Germans.
Although hope is small, it is better than just watching to lose ground!
However, Hobert did not nod his head.
Sending it out will not help, but the tank unit in hand is already the last reserve team and cannot be consumed like this.
"Our anti-tank weapons are mainly deployed on the front line. If the front line troops are eaten by the Germans, then we will absolutely not be able to defend London!" Harold was anxious.
This time is definitely not the time for mothers-in-laws.
"If you want to hold London, now, we have only one way." Hobert gritted his teeth and said to the adjutant next to him: "Give me the Prime Minister's office."
I hope that the Prime Minister is still in London, otherwise, without the authorization of the Prime Minister, then I can only make up my mind, even if I am a sinner in London, I must block the German invasion! 8
