"So that's how the Air Force fights!" Hiding in the woods, Becker said as he looked at the fighter jets of the two countries chasing and fighting overhead. Since he had just knocked the Americans with a stick in the morning, Becker found himself as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest, no, since noon, American reconnaissance planes, fighters, and even bombers appeared above his head from time to time, and after lunch, an armored repair vehicle and several trucks were knocked out, which made Becker angry enough, and then, without doing anything, he decisively led the troops to hide, and then contacted the air force, asking them to ensure the safety of his airspace.

This time, the Luftwaffe fulfilled their promise, and although they failed to drop a large number of bombs on the Americans, they did make a desperate effort to drive away the American planes roaming nearby. According to a well-done Tiger tank commander, at most of the time, there was a squadron of German planes fighting the Americans above his head, when in fact, the Germans threw a large group of fighters into the airspace to fight their opponents.

Not to mention, thanks to the efforts of the Luftwaffe, the US Air Force really couldn't hit another bomb or rocket within 500 meters of the 502nd Heavy Tank Battalion. However, they still have a grasp of the direction of their opponents' movements. The vehicles of a heavy tank battalion are definitely not too little, and if nothing else, more than 40 Tiger tanks of more than 50 tons are enough to dazzle the eye once they come out and walk around. Excellent equipment is gathered together, and large-scale use is naturally the most powerful time, but the so-called tree is a big wind, and if these things are concentrated in the daytime, they will definitely not be able to avoid the detection of the other party, and if they can't dodge, then it means that the subsequent blow will come soon! A stormy blow!

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, our trouble is coming, and through aerial reconnaissance, we have learned that the Americans have mobilized at least two battalions of troops to encircle and suppress us. Their current position is to the northwest of us, and if we hold our ground, the two sides will be able to make contact at 11 a.m. tomorrow at the latest. The other party should be the most elite First Armored Division under the command of the United States Army. They have the largest number of Type 29 tanks and Type 29 tank destroyers in all the US military. And there are a lot of them. The above means that we can take a break from the edge. An officer said.

"Huaxia's chariot? Hehe. What a memory! It was as if Becker was recalling something very wonderful, but in fact, everyone present knew that the Chinese armored forces were a nightmare for the Teutonic knights! The two sides have played each other several times. In terms of exchange ratios, the Germans hardly had an advantage in battles above the battalion size. It is very appropriate to describe the feeling of the German armored forces towards the Chinese armored vehicles with hatred and fear. The Germans did not fail to try to change the situation, but they all failed.

"The Empire has equipped us with the most elite war machines, we are knights who control the tiger and leopard, can we face the old goods of a few years ago without a fight, just now. We easily sent half of the American armored battalion to hell. And what about the tanks in China? At the distance we can hit, they are as vulnerable as Sherman tanks! We may eventually retreat, but before we go, we have to teach each other a lesson! Lieutenant Colonel Becker had no idea of consulting his colleagues at all, and gave the order for battle.

Of course, he is definitely not a reckless person. For this battle, he concentrated on two preparations, the first was to contact the air force, asking them to send a group or so of attack aircraft to provide cover in tomorrow's engagement, so that the 502nd Heavy Tank Battalion could choose to retreat when the situation was not good. And the second thing is to press the detonating device near the infrared night vision equipment and ammunition compartment of the Tiger tank, and in the case of abandonment of the vehicle, the tank must be completely destroyed. After making this preparation. Becker began to make tactical arrangements. "Even if all of us die in tomorrow's battle, we must break the curse that the great power of the East has placed on us!" At the meeting, Becker said decisively.

In the face of an enemy army that is about 3 times the number of himself, Becker naturally knows that it is not possible to fight hard, and there will definitely be a Type 29 tank destroyer inside. Although when entering the factory to receive the vehicle, the personnel in charge of the reception swore that the front of the Tiger tank could be trusted, but when communicating with a technician in private, the technician bluntly said that the 90MML45 main gun used by the Type 29 tank destroyer can pose a threat to the head position of the Tiger tank when it uses high-speed armor-piercing shells. Although the probability of hitting the first hit is relatively low. But who dares to say that you will not be hit in real combat?

In the end, Becker decided to fight his opponent on a suitable preset battlefield. They will continue to advance in a northwesterly direction. And before the Americans, occupy a town with an open field to the west of the town, which is suitable for armoured forces. And with the towns as the boundary, the terrain quickly converged, which had a great impact on the deployment of troops, and in this case, Becker could quickly withdraw when the situation was not good, of course. If you want to rely on this town for defensive warfare, the heavy artillery units accompanying the American army can easily raze the town to the ground. Therefore, in the end, it is necessary to fight against the attack, with offense as the main and defense as the supplement.

"It's a good place for a decisive battle." The data on the map was only on paper, and when Becker arrived at his destination, he found that the terrain here was so narrow that it was mainly aimed at battalion-sized units, and it was no problem to expand his armored battalion in a small town with the open space, woods, and farmsteads next to it! Next to the town is a farm, and although it is empty, there are still some buildings, haystacks, granaries and other shelters. What's more, the terrain here is somewhat undulating, which can largely cover the relatively vulnerable lower part of the Tiger tank. The Germans were almost 3 hours ahead of schedule, and during the last time the Germans made their final preparations, they took tracks from various supply vehicles and repair units. It was hung on the front of the tank and on the side of the hull, and even a few buddies attached the load wheels to the hull as well. With the addition of a circle of "homemade" additional armor, the Tiger tank weighs up another level, but its defense is also quite increased.

"Under normal circumstances, the Tiger tank is forbidden to arrange additional armor like the No. 4 tank, on the one hand, because the frontal defense of the Tiger tank is judged to be sufficient, and on the other hand, because of the problem of load, even if even the manufacturer admits that the 58-ton combat weight of the Tiger tank is already very high, and the margin is not very large, and too much hanging additional armor will lead to an overload on the running equipment, affecting mobility and stability. So in general, the appearance of the Tiger tank is very simple. But when the Tiger faced the Type 29 tank destroyer for the first time, everyone still coincidentally piled all kinds of things that could increase defense on the tank. Of course, in order to lighten the load on the tank, we put these things on before going into battle. Just like the original knights did not wear armor when marching. And when it comes to fighting, he puts on the battle with the help of his assistants. Becker wrote in his combat record. And according to his instructions, the Germans focused on strengthening the bow and sides of the Tiger tank.

"They're coming!" As soon as everything was ready, clouds of smoke rose from the horizon, and through the eight-fold Zeiss telescope, Becker could see tanks and other combat vehicles looming in the smoke screen. from there. Becker even saw a low-profile Type 29 tank destroyer. This time, the Americans did a good job. They formed battle formations very early, and groups of tanks galloped across the wilderness, like a wall, and rushed towards the Germans with a murderous aura.

"General Walker, the Germans have already occupied the village in front, should we wait for the artillery units in the rear?" An officer asked. "No, we can't wait, our task is not to drive the opponent out of the battlefield, but to completely annihilate him! Even with artillery help. We can drive them out of the village, but they can still defend against attrition and delay our movements, and we will only be victorious if we destroy their living forces! Walker, known as a fighting dog, did not hesitate to reject the advice made by his men. In addition to military reasons, the U.S. Army needed a victory to undo the effects of the crushing defeat in the first encounter. What's more, Walker still trusts the two heavy battalions in his hands!

In the end, the Americans went on the offensive ahead of schedule. They focused their attack on the farms south of the village, where the terrain was open enough for armored forces to deploy, and at the same time they could bypass the towns and completely cut off the German retreat. A battalion of tanks and tank destroyers began to unfold one by one, the Germans were well hidden, the Americans were cautiously advancing, and the tankers searched for targets through the observation window. Even from time to time, a few shots were fired at suspicious targets. Accompanied by the fire of the explosion of the shells, clouds of smoke rose on the ground, adding to the solemn atmosphere on the battlefield. Walker didn't bring infantry with him when he came, so his search range was still very narrow. When the American armored forces were just over halfway, the Germans finally moved!

Rumble! WITH THE LOW ROAR OF THE 88MM HEAVY ARTILLERY, ONE FIRE DRAGON FLEW TOWARDS THE CAUTIOUS AMERICAN TANK. The first 4 Type 29 tanks were directly hit, one of the tanks was hit at the junction between the turret and the hull, and the armor-piercing shell detonated the ammunition rack located behind the turret, and the violent explosion directly lifted the turret into the air! This time the attack Germans were very lucky, 6 Tiger tanks hit 66% at a distance of 1100 meters, this is an uncorrected situation, such a long distance hit the Americans on the opposite side are a little shocked, after a short silence, the remaining American tanks continue to accelerate forward, while some tanks subconsciously stop, frantically shoot at the exposed German tanks!

Hanging reverse gear retreat, emergency stop, aiming and shooting, continue to retreat, the German officers and soldiers of the 502 heavy tank battalion are worthy of being the most elite armored troops in Germany, in the face of the superior enemy attack, they skillfully use the correct tactics to give full play to their equipment advantages, in the continuous retreat and fire alternating process to consume the opponent, although only 8 tanks, but in the end the distance of more than 1000 meters on the Americans threw away nearly 18 various combat vehicles! When the distance was close to 500 meters, the American counterattack came like a storm!

AT THIS DISTANCE, THE ACCURACY OF THE TANK'S STATIC COUNTERMEASURES ROSE SHARPLY, AND THE DENSE SHELLS FIRED BY THE 75MM GUN FORMED A BARRAGE THAT ENVELOPED THE TARGET. Bremani felt that his tank was like a big bell, and the dense shells were like bell hammers, and the violent impact made the whole tank vibrate like chaff, although I don't know how many shells were hit, but the Tiger tank still blocked this wave of attacks, Bremani retreated while releasing the smoke screen, he silently prayed in his heart that the other hidden troops could come out quickly to help.

If Bremani was struggling under artillery fire at this time, then the American tankmen who were concentrating their fire on the attack were completely messy! Shells rained down on the heavy armor of the Tiger tank, and the three Type 29 tanks even hit 300 meters from a distance of 600 meters! None of them can penetrate the opponent's armor! Even if they used the precious tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, at a distance of 400 meters, they were still deflected by the heavy gun shield of the Tiger tank! THEY'VE DESTROYED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIGER'S EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT, BUT THEY CAN'T COMPLETELY DESTROY IT, AND THE GIANT STEEL MONSTER RETREATS IN A MOMENT'S TIME, WHILE USING ITS POWERFUL 88MM HEAVY CANNON TO KILL THOSE WHO DARE TO CHALLENGE ITS MAJESTY!

Rumble! With a loud bang, another Sherman tank was blown into the sky. In just ten minutes of fighting, in order to deal with 8 Tiger tanks, the Americans have thrown away nearly 25 combat vehicles of various types. And except for the two Tiger tanks that were paralyzed, the rest are still fighting stubbornly! The spirit of the American GIs has reached the limit like a taut spring, and it is possible to break at any time, and when they find themselves with an enemy they cannot face, it is only a matter of time, or rather lack of a chance!

Click! Suddenly, a row of cottages was directly knocked down by a huge force, and before the smoke cleared, several huge figures came out of the ruins, and a series of artillery roars came from behind, and the newly appeared Tiger tanks were located on the side of the American army, and a considerable part of the combat vehicles exposed their sides. "Concentrate all your fire on the tank destroyers in the rear of the flanks, it's our enemy!" Becker roared.

The Germans had always had a strong fear of the Type 29 tank destroyer. Even though they have more powerful equipment, they are still thinking about how to avoid going head-to-head with the other side, so Bremani's task is to contain his opponent, and when the American's killer feature reveals his vulnerable flanks, it is time for Becker to go on a killing spree, and at this time, the opportunity that the Germans have been waiting for has finally come!
