Chapter 212: Striking Iron

"Defeat that 'Crusader' first!" Trood quickly gave the order, aiming at the only target that posed a threat to them.

Although the Crusader cruiser was protected by a sandbag shelter in front of it, the fragile turret was the only victim of the intense fire of the five IV tanks. After the second volley, the turret had already been destroyed, and the only "enemy" was cleared, leaving only the rats fleeing in disarray.

Delayed by the two Crusader multi-purpose guns, most of the British soldiers fled quickly in the trucks, and Trood had no intention of chasing them, but simply destroyed the two obstructive tanks and simply captured the British.

The infantry detachment, which was waiting on the periphery, also received a communication from Trode and rushed here at once, taking the position and the prisoners away.

Although this is a victory, compared to the battle that follows, it is nothing at all. As before, Trode began to make plans for the next step.

Trode rubbed his chin and looked at the crowd and asked, "How much pressure do you think this impact can create on the enemy?" ”

"It's hard to say." Hans began: "If they only see the speed at which we advance, then the pressure on them is undoubtedly very high; Conversely, if their focus had only been on five IV tanks, it would have been possible for them to let their guard down. ”

"Both of them may be half probable, it's hard to say." Vincent said on the side.

Alicia looked at the messy battle map that had been drawn by Trode and others with black pens and said, "Then which side to fight now?" ”

"Hey." Trood shook his head and said, "From the point of view of using the 'Tiger' tank. Now that this outpost has been taken, we don't have to worry about it; However, if you look at it from the point of view of cooperating with friendly forces. We should give priority to taking artillery positions, so that it will be easier for them to attack. ”

"Cut, I don't see it that way." Marcus on the side spoke: "To be honest, I don't believe in these infantry, I advocate attacking the trough first, the 'Tiger' type as the vanguard, and we break through quickly." The enemy's artillery will not be able to exert any power, and when we reach the trough, their artillery will have no way to do it. If our luck is good. Their artillery was scared away by us, so our later operations below would be even smoother. ”

"Well, that's good." Trood nodded and said to the crowd, "That's it." Wait a minute, we'll line up in a 'V' shape. The Tiger was the vanguard, flanked by Alysia and Hans's IV tanks to the left and right, then next to the two were Amphitri and Marcus's tank destroyers, and finally, Vincent and Leona leaned to Marcus's side, while I was in charge of Amphitri's flank protection. ”

Trode paused for a moment and said, "Then it's decided, let's go!" ”

Everyone immediately scattered and ran away, immediately returning to their own group. First, tell your driver to start the vehicle. Then he told his crew about Trode's tactical ideas, and acted as he spoke. By the time the tactics were almost underway, the defense zone of the trough was already in front of their eyes in Trood.

"Array! Put the 'monsters'! ”

Trode commanded with an imposing voice, and although it felt that it might be inappropriate to use the word "monster" for his teammates, the owner of the tank, Hilde, did not say anything about it, so they did not see each other again. To the surprise of those except Troll, Hield, although cold on the surface, is not at all angry in this team, he just talks less. However, whenever she asks her questions, almost all of them are answered, and unlike some people like Amphitri who like to play tricks on people and go around in circles, her straightforward personality is not one of many attributes in Trode's squad, so it is very popular with everyone, although he himself did not show it clearly, but he must be very happy.

"Bang!"

The 88mm warhead landed in the enemy's position after a slight parabolic angle, blowing up a lot of things. The enemy, however, began to take advantage of their terrain and began to fight back quickly. But

At this distance, the anti-tank guns used by the British now against the heavily armored Type IV H medium tank may not be able to penetrate, let alone the new Type VI.

The armor in front of the hull of the Tiger tank is 102mm thick, and the gun shield armor in front of the turret is as high as 135~150mm. Nickel-alloy steel armor was used, and the armor was produced using a cold-rolled forging process rather than casting. Compared with cast steel, the strength characteristics of cold-rolled forged steel are much higher, and its density is increased by about 6%. This makes the armor strength of the 'Tiger' tank greatly improved, and compared with the same armor thickness 'Churchill' infantry tank, although the thickness is not much higher than it, but the strength is expensive, which makes it both for armor-piercing bullets and high-explosive shells, it is much stronger than the 'Churchill', such a protective ability is not something that the British can deal with now.

"The rest of the troops, echelons keep up!"

With Trode's order, the remaining chariots, according to the formation that Trood had arranged before, began to advance forward, first suppressing the enemy's fire at a similar range, and then attacking when the enemy was almost consumed.

"What's that?!"

A British soldier operating a 6-pounder anti-tank gun shouted, he had never seen this behemoth in front of him, and its thick barrel gave people an extraordinary deterrent! Moreover, whether it was him or his teammates, the cannonballs fired at the monster, without exception, rubbed a string of sparks on the surface of its armor, and then it was bounced away, and this amazing protection ability even made people feel that none of this was real, they were just dreaming.

However, the shells fired by the Trode and their shells exploded one after another in their positions, and once again brought them back to reality, telling them that these enemies in front of them were real deaths who were coming to take their lives! (To be continued.) )
