Chapter 1724 Showdown (ask for a monthly ticket)

   “Boom!”

  The three hundred M26 heavy tanks and M5 light tanks equipped by the US 5th Armored Division formed a torrent of steel and rushed to the flank of the German army that was attacking Topsfield.

  The 41st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 42nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. Army guard the two wings for the 5th Armored Division of the U.S. Army.

  The number of tanks in the US Fifth Army exceeds six hundred. You know, this number is less than the German armored army, but it is no less than the German ordinary infantry army, or even a little more. It’s just that, except for the reconnaissance troops, the German army is no longer equipped with light tanks. The M5 light tank, a light tank with a tonnage of only ten tons, was simply vulnerable to German tanks.

  The German 8th Armored Division and 88th Armored Division rushed straight over. Both armored divisions had a divisional heavy tank battalion. Now, this battalion is equipped with ‘King Tiger’ heavy tanks.

   Following the ‘King Tiger’ heavy tank are the ‘Tiger’ heavy tank and the ‘Black Panther’ medium tank.

   “Attack, kill those American tanks!”

   “Let the Americans see how the most powerful armored soldiers in the world fight!”

  Although the armor of the US military is generally not weak, the armored soldiers of the German army are the armored troops of the Russian army who fought on the Russian battlefield. This time, they also believe that Americans who can fight cannot take care of themselves.

   It’s just that although the German armored forces are full of confidence, they are not the first to attack the US armored forces.

  In the sky, dozens of dive bombers have already launched an attack first.

   “Woo!”

  With a sharp whistling sound, the German dive bombers began to dive and drop bombs, dropping bombs one after another on the heads of the US armored troops.

  The heavy-duty aviation armor-piercing projectile is very powerful. It does not need to hit directly. As long as it explodes on the side of the tank, it is enough to destroy a tank. Even the M26 heavy tank can’t hold these bombs.

   “Damn it! Where are our fighter jets? Why didn’t they come to cover us?” The US armored soldiers were completely on the verge of crying when they saw such a situation. They could only watch helplessly as their tanks were easily wiped out by the German armored forces.

   The tanks were still running wildly before, but now they have turned into piles of burning scrap iron. Whether it is the M26 heavy tank or the M5 light tank, they cannot withstand the attack of the German dive bombers.

   This is not over yet, the speed of the German armed helicopters is a little slower. So when the dive bombers of the Luftwaffe ravaged the American tanks, they were long overdue. However, these armed helicopters are not ambiguous at all when dealing with US tanks.

   “Shhhhhh!”

   Rockets roared one after another, and a large number of US tanks were destroyed by piercing through the flank or rear armor. Even some armed helicopters fired specifically at the top of the turret of the US tank. That thin layer of armor simply couldn’t withstand the rockets fired by the German armed helicopters, causing a large number of US tanks to be destroyed.

  Under the attack of the bombers and armed helicopters of the German Air Force, the armored forces of the US military were severely damaged. A large number of tanks were destroyed and armored soldiers were killed. It can be said that the armored forces of the US military have already paid a heavy price before the tanks of the two sides started a real confrontation. Originally, facing the two armored divisions and two mechanized infantry divisions of the German army, the US military was at a disadvantage in terms of the number of tanks. If nothing miraculous happened, there would be no doubt about being defeated by the German armored forces. Now, the German army has used bombers and armed helicopters, which puts the US military at a complete disadvantage.

  The armored soldiers of the German army also had red eyes when they saw such a situation. Those American tanks, but their exploits! Seeing his military exploits being taken away, it’s no wonder that the German armored soldiers feel distressed.

   “Damn it, let those guys restrain themselves! If they take out all the American tanks, what should we do?”

   “Speed ​​up and rush into the battlefield first, you’ll have to grab a bite of the soup anyway!”

  The tanks of the German army also rushed forward, and finally rushed to the battlefield.

   “At 11 o’clock, there is an M5, blow it up!”

   “Boom!”

  A ‘King Tiger’ heavy tank opened fire, and a 105mm armor-piercing projectile hit the M5 light tank in an instant.

  The weak armor is no different from the paper paste in front of the 105mm armor-piercing projectile, and it is torn apart in an instant. The shell also detonated the explosion inside the tank, causing the tank to explode.

   “Quick, there’s an M26 tank at two o’clock!”

  The turret of the ‘King Tiger’ tank rotated rapidly. The 105mm tank gun was aimed at the M26 heavy tank.

   But before they could fire, an M26 tank of the US military was enveloped in flames.

   “Asshole, a helicopter opened fire. They took our heads!” Seeing this situation, the gunner cursed.

   “Speed ​​up, rush to the front. If you don’t go faster, you won’t be able to grab anything.”

  After a large number of German tanks rushed into the battlefield, the battle suddenly entered a climax.

  The 5th Armored Division, 41st Mechanized Infantry Division and 42nd Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. Army can be described as miserable. Originally they had more than 600 tanks, but at least hundreds of tanks were lost in a very short period of time due to the attacks of the German dive bombers and helicopters. Moreover, the German armed helicopter group is still raging, using rockets to attack the flanks and rear armor of the US tanks, making the US tanks hard to defend.

  At this time, a large number of German armored forces have arrived. Not only completely surpassed the US military in terms of quantity, but also incomparable to the US military in terms of quality.

  This puts the US armored forces at a complete disadvantage in battle. Especially the “King Tiger” heavy tank that rushed to the battlefield first, with the powerful power of the 105mm tank gun, it continuously destroyed the US tanks at a long distance.

   “Boom!”

   A “King Tiger” tank successfully penetrated the frontal armor of an M26 heavy tank of the US military at a distance of 1,200 meters.

   “God! How can the German tanks hit so far? At such a long distance, our tanks can’t penetrate the enemy’s tank armor?” The American armored soldiers exclaimed.

   “Get closer! Find a way to get closer to the German tanks. Only in this way can our tank guns penetrate the enemy’s tank armor!” The officer of the US armored force ordered.

  The power of tank guns is not as good as that of the German army, and the sighting system is not as good as that of the German army. Therefore, the US tanks can only close the distance before they can hit the target and penetrate the armor of the German tanks.
