In an instant, the tank group was slaughtered, and the field was filled with gunfire, artillery and shouts of killing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is conceivable that in this case the "Sherman" tanks will have the upper hand, because they can at least distinguish the enemy in front of them...... As long as the oncoming barrel is directed at you, it is the enemy, yes.

As for the German army, in this situation where it is impossible to carefully identify the tank model, they cannot distinguish friend or foe when surrounded by the enemy, so it is like being tied hands and feet to fight the enemy.

The Germans even tried to shoot flares.

It should be said that this was the right thing to do, because at this time there was no such thing as turning on the tank lights.

First of all, turning on the tank light will quickly expose oneself and make oneself a target for the enemy, and secondly, driving a tank will only allow you to identify the other party, but the other party will not be able to recognize you...... As soon as the headlights shone on, the gunners on the opposite side who were observing the outside world with a periscope only saw a piece of white flowers and could not see anything.

Playing flares does not have these problems, and even if it can illuminate itself at the same time, it is still good for the German tank group.

But this is not necessarily of any use, because the battlefield is filled with black smoke from burning tanks, gunpowder smoke from shell explosions, and dust raised by tracks and artillery fire in the desert, which makes the battlefield like a basin of muddy water, like a sandstorm, and even the bright light of the flares can only faintly reflect the shadow of a tank.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Heinz Landau hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, all tanks retreat!" ”

But it was too late to give the order to retreat, not only because the sound of the booming artillery on the battlefield was difficult to hear from the walkie-talkies, but also because the German tank group was already mired in the quagmire at this time...... This is not to say that it is as simple as shouting one, two, three, and everyone will cease fire together, if the battlefield is full of their own people, it may be possible, but everyone knows that there is an enemy mixed in the tank group, and they cease fire and the enemy does not stop firing...... Isn't that just being used as a target by the enemy?

So, to some extent, it was a human survival instinct, and the Germans destroyed the enemy in order to preserve themselves because of the fear of an unknown or known enemy...... "Saving yourself" and "destroying the enemy" on the battlefield are often the same thing, because many times only "destroying the enemy" can "save yourself".

As a result, the German soldiers almost fell into a state of hysteria, constantly aiming at the target in front of them, firing their guns, and howling loudly to relieve their fear, and later they even gave up the necessary identification of friend or foe, and opened fire whenever they saw a tank...... Because they weren't sure if the tank would shoot at themselves next, but as long as all the tanks around them were destroyed, they would be safe.

In this respect, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were much better than the Germans.

The reason is that they have already been tested many times by "infiltration warfare...... In the Pacific Theater and the Burma Theater, from time to time they would encounter the infiltration warfare of the Japanese army.

There is no doubt that when they first encountered the infiltration of the Japanese army, their performance was the same as or even worse than that of the current German army.

But they came along.

They came over and knew in their hearts that the more they were at this time, the more they couldn't mess around, they couldn't walk around, and they couldn't fire cannons indiscriminately...... Walking around will make allies mistake them for enemies, and firing artillery will destroy allies as enemies.

Even every person and every tank must not be messed up, and any tank that goes the wrong way may have a chain reaction on the entire army.

Therefore, the tankmen of the expeditionary force held the steering wheel and maintained a certain speed to move in a straight line regardless of the lightning and thunder outside, and the gunners only had a barrel...... In the case of not being able to distinguish between friend and foe, it is better to miss than to fire indiscriminately.

Maintaining speed in a straight line is to maintain the formation, but also to identify friend and foe...... Dozens of tanks in the whole army are advancing in the same direction, and basically you only need to observe the posture of the tanks to judge whether it is your own tank. This can even allow tanks to work effectively with each other, as they will feel that they have their own tanks next to each other or in a certain position, so they don't have to think about whether they will be attacked by the enemy in that direction.

It is better to miss than to fire indiscriminately, because if you miss, it is only to destroy one less enemy tank, and if you fire indiscriminately, it is very likely to destroy your own tank...... "Sherman" tank is better than the German No. 2 and No. 3 tanks, and it is obviously not a wise choice to take risks when there is only fifty percent or even less certainty.

Occasionally, a few tanks deviated from an obstacle, such as a destroyed German tank, and infantry quickly corrected it...... The method of correction is also simple, that is, use the butt of the gun to smash on the turret, smash it on the left side is to turn left, smash it on the right side to turn right, and smash it twice in a row to be in place...... If it is said that the original method is used to carry out step-Tan coordination, I am afraid that no one will dare to recognize the first if the Chinese troops recognize the second.

Finally, after a thrilling battle, the tank group of the expeditionary force successfully broke out of the battlefield...... This is also one of the reasons why the tank group keeps going straight, even if it is not visible in the battlefield, if it keeps going straight in the same direction, it will always go out of the battlefield.

It was only then that Wu Min lifted the hatch of the tank and carefully poked his head out.

Wu Min was the commander of the tank regiment, an old tanker.

His experience in driving tanks can even be traced back to fighting the Japanese army on the domestic battlefield, when he was a tank company commander when the expeditionary force went to Burma, in charge of more than a dozen T26 tanks purchased from the Soviet Union.

It's just that these tanks basically didn't work, mainly because the British army didn't provide fuel, so they couldn't go to the battlefield.

After that, Wu Min even fled all the way back to China...... On the way, he was ordered to blow up the tanks and block the road to prevent the Japanese from pursuing.

After returning to China, the more Wu Min thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, driving the tank that he exchanged for real money was used to escape and block the road, how to think about it and how he was not convinced, so he took the US military plane and flew to Myanmar to participate in training.

Because of his experience in tank driving and tactics, he soon became the commander of the new 1st Tank Regiment.

At this time, Wu Min poked his head out and shouted to the infantry outside: "Do you see the signal?" ”

"No, sir!" The infantry replied.

"Watch!" Wu Min ordered.

"Yes!"

Wu Min looked behind him, only to see that the smoke and dust of the battlefield were still fighting back and forth, and he couldn't help sighing: "Damn, this battle is really fucking enjoyable, and the German devils are nothing more than that!" ”
