Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 33: In the Battle of Waves, the B1 heavy tank unexpectedly appeared and destroyed three Soviet T28 tanks.
About thirty people from the three infantry squads dispersed and started heading towards the post office in left, right, middle and third directions.

He was attacked just as he was approaching a hundred meters.

Under William's instructions, Corporal Boateng immediately led the soldiers to hide behind the ruins of the bunker.

In front of the entire post office is not only a bare area but also a deep crater caused by the bomb.

These places became places where soldiers could cover their operations.

"The machine gun team sets up machine gun fire suppression"

The respective squad leaders quickly urged the machine gunners to suppress fire.

After the fire suppression of the three MG34 general-purpose machine guns was turned on, the firepower on the opposite side became much smaller.

At this moment, a tank came out of the post office gate.

This is a French B1 heavy tank.

"Damn it! Where did a French B1 tank come from? Did it travel through time?"

When William saw the tank rushing out in front of him, he thought it was an M3 Grant Lee at first.

Then he immediately denied it, because the Grant M3 Lee medium tank had not had any problems yet.

Then only the French B1 heavy tank is left.

Only it is equipped with two cannons.

A 75mm short-barreled infantry gun and a 47mm tank gun.

This shape is reminiscent of the M3 Grant medium tank.

But the M3 Grant Lee doesn't start development until next year, so there's no way it could be it.

boom!
A 75mm high-explosive bomb exploded, instantly taking away two German soldiers.

"Retreat! Tell them to retreat quickly. The thickness of the front armor of this thing is 60 mm. Retreat quickly."

William urged and shouted, but the other party obviously did not intend to let them go.

No matter how slow the tank is, it cannot be outrun by soldiers.

boom!
The 47mm artillery and the 75mm artillery took turns firing, and two machine guns were firing.

Just this one tank directly caused the entire company to collapse.

Yes!You heard it right, a rout.

The new soldiers could not help but run back, and the veterans could not support the tanks in front.

There are currently no effective defense measures in the rear.

"Call artillery, call air support"

William urged Lieutenant Ratzel to shout.

"Call air support immediately and tell them we have a heavy tank here!"

As for calling artillery, it is meaningless. The opponent is in a mobile state and there is no way to cause damage to it.

Coupled with its 60 mm thick armor, it is simply difficult to penetrate its armor from the front.

Just as William and others were retreating, a group of Soviet troops arrived, including three T28 heavy tanks.

Lieutenant Ratzel beamed with joy when he saw this, thinking that it would definitely be done.

"Run quickly, these three tanks are just a gift to the tank in front!"

After saying that, he took Lieutenant Ratzel and continued to retreat to escape.

After all, there is a guy of more than 30 tons chasing you. If you run slower, you might have to collect the box lunch.

For William, he doesn’t want to die yet!
"How do you know that three of their tanks can't defeat one of their tanks?"

Ask William while running.

"The 75mm gun at such a close range can destroy a T28 tank with one shot, and the 47mm gun on it can kill a T28 tank in an instant. Basically, two tanks will be killed in one encounter."

William said while running back.

Just as William said, although the T28 fired first.

But what joke are you kidding about a 76mm 16.5x short-barreled artillery hitting 60mm thick armor?

On the other hand, the thickest armor of the T28 medium tank is 50 mm, and the 47 mm anti-tank gun equipped with it can penetrate its armor.

What's more, the thickest part of the rest is only 30 mm. How can it carry a mere 3 cm thick armor?The mantlet of the machine gun is already 20 mm thick.

In this case, if you expect it to rise up, you are really looking down on the other party.

boom!boom!
Explosions were heard one after another from behind.

The French B1 heavy tank of the Polish army directly destroyed three T28 medium tanks of the Soviet army.

The B1 heavy tank that took two shots was still shaky and able to continue fighting.

Now it was the Soviet army's turn to be chased and beaten.

The German troops all retreated into the ruins.

A large number of ruins and obstacles on the streets blocked the tank's progress.

The Soviet army lost three T28 tanks and more than 20 soldiers. It can be said that the losses were heavy.

This is also thanks to the fact that the opponent was able to block the Polish tank for a while.

This allowed the German troops to retreat smoothly to a safe position.

This thing is basically impossible to destroy from the front.

Unless it's a 75mm anti-tank gun.

The 37mm stepping stone is definitely impossible to penetrate.

But if you don't try it, you won't know whether you can destroy the other party.

Someone was sent to the battalion headquarters to apply for a 37mm anti-tank gun.

Eight soldiers pushed the cannon back.

It's not that there is no tractor, the road conditions are so terrible that it is impossible to tow the artillery over.

You can only use manpower to clear enough space and then continue to advance.

After a while of busy work, I was ready to lure out the opponent's tanks so that I could take the opportunity to destroy the opponent.

This is another errand that will result in a meal if you are not careful.

In the end, the fair choice was drawn directly.

It took three people in total to draw the tank out for shelling.

By the time the Stuka dive bombers arrived, the tanks had already retracted and hid.

"Colon, Renost, Davel" was shouted out as the three heroes were drawn.The expressions of the three people were obviously not good.

But this is a fair draw.

He could only blame himself for his bad luck, and besides, William was qualified to forcefully order them.

But William did not, and William drew lots.

"be careful!"

The brothers sent blessings one after another.

"If you come back alive, I will take credit for you three!"

William adjusted the military uniforms of the three people and said.

"That's not necessary. If the three of us come back alive, remember to invite us to spend some time, you know!"

The three of them showed a hint of lewd smiles, which relieved a lot of the tense atmosphere.

"Okay! Two per person!"

William agreed directly without hesitation.

Then the three of them started to set off.

And the anti-tank guns began to position themselves.

The two brackets were placed directly on the ground, and holes were dug in advance to slow down the recoil.

The artilleryman came to the left side of the gun mantlet and opened a small window, which was about the size of a square socket switch.

When opening it, the gunner took out a single-tube telescope wrapped in a plastic bag and mounted it on it.

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it still works like this.

The main gunner opened the breech, took a 37mm armor-piercing projectile and stuffed it into the gun bore.

Then he closed the breech and waited for the target to appear.

The three soldiers heading towards the post office did not attract each other out at all.

"Damn it! These grandsons are really cunning!"

William couldn't help but curse as he picked up the binoculars and looked at the battle at the post office ahead.

Because Polish soldiers rushed out and a dozen people began to surround and kill the three soldiers sent out.

"Ozil, fire support, don't stop, blow me up hard!"

William turned his head and shouted loudly.

Mortar gunner Ozil did not dare to take any pause and quickly picked up the mortar and started the mortar with his deputy Havertz to prepare for the bombardment.

Boom!Boom!
Two consecutive mortars killed three Polish soldiers, which relieved the pressure on the three Colombians.

"If this continues, the three of them will definitely be eaten by each other, damn it."

William cursed worriedly, and then asked seven or eight people to follow him towards the post office.

"You still have you, follow me, don't stop the mortars."

William rolled out of the bunker and headed towards the post office with the pointing soldier.

He couldn't just watch the three of them being eaten.

How can we lead troops to fight like this?

The group of people ran towards the post office, firing at the Polish soldiers.

The MP38 submachine gun in William's hand will basically kill one person with a burst of fire.

His marksmanship is not just a boast.

"Colon, Renost, Davier, retreat quickly"

While shooting, William shouted to the three people still fighting in the shell crater ahead.

"Yes!"

The three of them started running back under cover.

The Polish soldiers also went back, but their tanks never moved.

This made it impossible for the Germans to drop a rat weapon, and the post office was large, so even if aerial bombs were dropped, they might not hit accurately.

Without confirming that the other party has been blown to rubble, there will be no use of caution.

However, there are also a group of stubborn people who want to show their abilities.

A company of Soviet soldiers rallied and began shouting "Ula!"

William and others watched helplessly as a company of Soviet troops rushed forward.

Later, after more than thirty people were killed, they withdrew in disgrace.

After withdrawing, I saw William and his gang, and I understood why William and his gang didn't go up.

The 75mm gun on the opponent's tank can cause serious damage to the infantry.

The 47mm artillery can penetrate the armor of all current Soviet and German tanks.

On the other hand, the 1mm armor of the B60 heavy tank in the hands of Polish soldiers cannot be hit at all.

"Build a defense line in front and push the artillery forward. If he dares to come out, destroy it!"

William was willing to risk everything and directly pushed the defense line forward.

Watching the German defense line push forward, the Soviet troops also merged together for the first time.

A position was set up 300 meters away from the post office, and then anti-tank gun positions were arranged.

Dig the ground directly and push the cannon in. The low horizon makes it difficult to detect.

A circle of sandbags placed in front only requires two layers of thickness.

Just wait for the charge order to be issued before you can enter the battle.

This time, multiple cluster grenades were prepared, so I didn’t believe they couldn’t deal with the tanks of the Polish army.

The Soviet army also prepared four cluster grenades, and three bottles of vodka Molotov cocktails ready to throw.

William took out the whistle in his pocket and blew it.

Soldiers from each squad began to take action.

The machine guns began to roar.

The deputy squad leader took all the riflemen and began to attack forward.

The squad leader observed the front with a telescope and directed the machine gun to attack the target location.
