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

Chapter 48 Assault Gun No. 6 VS Vickers [-]-ton light tank, one shot makes a little friend
One of the areas on the British suburban defense line was being dealt a devastating blow by the German army.

On the No. [-] assault gun, William stepped on the tank and slowly moved forward.

That force is full of enemies, but if there is a sniper master, he can't kill them with one shot.

William picked up the binoculars and looked ahead, then looked to the left and his eyes met Boateng's.

Boateng nodded, then waved, and the soldiers behind him began to disperse and move forward.

Each team worked very well together and moved forward alternately.

The MG34 general-purpose machine gun was set up directly and instantly began tearing out countless bullets.

The squad leaders of each squad looked at everything ahead with binoculars and began to direct the machine gunners in the shooting direction.

After all, human vision is limited, and you can't see anything 300 meters away.

The monitor next to you can make up for the unclear situation.

When the infantry in front advanced about 150 to 200 meters, they began to stop and wait for the machine gun team to come up.

When the infantry in front stopped, the machine gunners who followed quickly got up and started charging forward with their machine guns in hand.

The infantry at the front provided fire cover for the machine gun crew and squad leader following behind.

Under normal circumstances, the squad leader is equipped with an MP38/40 submachine gun (this refers to the two submachine gun models, don't argue, because it is impossible for all German squads to be equipped with 40 models, and it is impossible to configure all 38 models)

But William's team is different. The squad leader is equipped with an MD40 automatic pistol and a Thor M1940 semi-automatic rifle.

The MD40 automatic pistol is simplified from the MD38 automatic pistol.

With 15 rounds in reserve, it can fully demonstrate its good performance in the trenches.

Compared with a pistol with 7-9 bullets, the MD40 pistol has a lot more bullets.

An extra bullet on the battlefield is a chance to win a life.

After the machine gun team caught up, the infantry continued to advance.

At the same time, the subsequent No. [-] assault gun also began to take action.

As he continued to move forward, William did not dare to be too bold and quickly chose to squat down and use the vehicle-mounted machine gun mantlet to block himself.

Pick up the telescope and look at the situation ahead.

After discovering the British machine gun nest, he immediately ordered the commander.

"There is a machine gun nest 400 meters ahead, replace it with high-explosive bombs."

William looked at the situation in front and said.

"Yes!"

The commander immediately gave the loading order to the loader.

A 75mm high-explosive round was inserted directly into the barrel.

The No. [-] tank began to turn its body and made slight adjustments. Then it locked up and began to prepare for artillery fire.

The gunner closed one eye and stared at the periscope.

"caught you!"

The gunner showed a hint of joy and then stepped on the launcher.

boom!
A huge wave of air shot out in a cross shape.

The sweeping wave of smoke forced William, who was on top of the three bald men, to close his eyes and hide behind the gun shield.

There are two openings at the artillery exit, which will spray huge air waves and gunpowder smoke from both sides.

A 75mm high-explosive bomb flew out and exploded in the machine gun nest in less than a second.

The huge explosion shock wave tore everything inside to pieces.

Then it rolled and flew into the sky and hit the ground heavily.

As for the British soldiers inside, none of them had undergone plastic surgery.

After the machine gun nest was solved, the British troops in this section could only rely on cloth light machine guns and the British [-] rifles in their hands to resist.

How could such firepower be resisted in front of the German army?

After the machine gun was destroyed, the German army began to advance with strong firepower.

Three half-track rocket vehicles are preparing to go, including three half-track self-propelled artillery vehicles.

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom!
Powerful firepower started plowing directly.

While the German army was assaulting the British front-line positions, the German army had already begun shelling the second line in preparation for the next battle.

There is no way to resist under such firepower.

"General! Oh no, the Germans have broken through our front line, and their artillery is shelling our second line!"

As the bad news reached the British command headquarters, everyone began to panic.

This is something they never expected. In their opinion, they can survive for a whole day no matter how hard they fight, right?

Well, now, only an hour has passed since the first bombardment ended, and the bad news came.

"Immediately organize troops to block the German attack. All tanks must be assembled. Be sure to block the gap for me."

Following the order issued by British Brigadier General Nelson.

All the British troops began to take action, and a battalion of infantry accompanied by more than thirty British cruise tanks began to move towards the German army.Can the Vickers 6-ton tank cause any harm to the three bald men?

There are currently two versions of the Vickers 6-ton light tank. One is the model equipped with a 7.7 mm machine gun, which is the A type.

Maybe this kind of tank was just fine for Britain at that time because it had not encountered war.

Even the current United States is a scum tank when it did not develop the Sherman tank.

Only war can promote the explosive development of military industry.

The two turrets of the Type A Vicker Tank can independently rotate 180 degrees outwards to fire.

However, its tonnage is only 6 tons, so it is destined to be unable to mount a large turret.

Only two 7.7mm machine guns can be used as turrets.

It is still quite a deterrent against infantry, but it is a scumbag in front of tanks.

Another B-type Vicker tank used a single turret for firing.

Hit an L18 47mm rapid-fire gun.

It can barely penetrate 500mm armor at a distance of 25 meters.

When our Panzer III tank became stronger and became bald, the thickness of its direct frontal armor was 50 mm, and its gun mantlet was even thicker than 80 mm.

The sloped armor used makes it impossible to penetrate the frontal armor of the Sanbald with the help of the L18 caliber gun.

Let alone 500 meters, it will not work if I give you an output of 100 meters.

The output of 100 meters is probably even more difficult to penetrate.

The best is to achieve the maximum armor-piercing effect at a position of 300 meters.

Even if you are awesome, I will give you 35mm armor to penetrate.

But when facing Brother Santu, all he can do is bang bang on the door.

Even so, the British army still drove in more than thirty Vicker tanks in a mighty manner.

It looks incredible, but in fact it can't even afford an 80mm mortar.

"British armored troops spotted ahead"

William kicked the commander on the shoulder and shouted.

William's height of 1.8 meters and the body of 2.2 meters add up to at least three and a half meters.

So you must look far beyond the commander of the vehicle.

Two No. [-] assault guns began to move.

And William also jumped out quickly after the car stopped.

Isn't it possible that he is still squatting up there, seeking death?

Even if the 47mm artillery cannot penetrate the tank, do the people on the tank still want to live?
"They are all light tanks. According to your defense, there should be no pressure. Destroy these tanks!"

William ordered.

"Yes, Captain!"

The commander nodded in response and then closed the hatch.

Rumble!
After a burst of black smoke rose, the No. [-] assault gun took action.

Their low body is their advantage, as well as their sloping armor.

"British tanks found at 1400 meters, prepare armor-piercing shells!"

Following the commander's order.

The loader immediately pulled out a 75mm armor-piercing projectile from the rear magazine and stuffed it into the gun barrel.

The gunner then began to look for the target and adjust the angle.

The ballistic trajectory of the 75mm L48 gun is very stable.

At least no one in the Allied forces can say that their 75mm caliber artillery is more stable than the Germans'.

Even the US military does not dare to say that it will definitely surpass Germany's 75mm L48 Ivy anti-tank gun.

boom!
As a 75mm armor-piercing projectile spun quickly towards the target with a spiral-like momentum.

The Vickers A tank, which looked confused, crashed without any reaction, killing everyone.

jump!
There was a loud noise and the entire tank was torn into a pile of pieces.

Even a 30-ton tank will be injured by the 75mm L48 cannon if you are not careful, let alone a mere six-ton ​​small tank!

When one cannon was destroyed, the rest of the British troops were still looking around in confusion to see where the hell this shelling came from.

But after looking around for a long time, I didn't see anything.

And hitting a German armored soldier 1400 meters away is not awesome.

This is just the excellent armored force of the German army!

But anyone who doesn't say he killed fifty tanks is embarrassed to say he is an ace.
