"We can only fight to the death." "With our sacrifice, we will create time for the withdrawal of the main force," Herbert said

There is no choice.

They can't withdraw because their tanks are too slow. Instead of being killed when they retreat, they might as well die in the battlefield. In this way, they can die meaningfully.

"Brigadier, there's nothing we can do." On his side, deputy brigade commander Charles said to him, "basically, there are no weapons in our hands that can attack the Germans."

Their tanks, with only 12.7 mm machine guns, were tickling in the face of German tanks.

Only Matilda 2 tanks have 40mm tank guns. Unfortunately, these tanks are equipped in the troops directly under the division headquarters, and the number is rare.

Moreover, the third armored brigade was defeated. It has been explained that their 40mm tank guns can't kill each other's Panther tanks. Now they belong to forces without any means of counterattack.

"No, we still have weapons." "We have anti tank grenades and we can make flasks, which can be used to attack German tanks," Herbert said

There is a natural way to anti tank.

In Spain, Molotov cocktails were handmade in order to resist Franco's tank forces and the international column at that time. This kind of burning bottle can still bring casualties to the enemy in close combat.

However, it was close combat. There was still a chance in street fighting. Now, in the wild, it is at most a small village. Does your side have this ability?

"Unless we pretend to surrender and launch a suicide attack, but it's a disgrace to the soldiers." Charles said.

As British soldiers, they are quite proud. They know the honor of their soldiers and pretend to surrender. They really can't do it.

Herbert shook his head: "we don't surrender, just let the Germans relax and think we're going to surrender, don't we?"

There is no way. As armored soldiers, they actually need to fight like infantry, which is an absolute sadness.

Either die or surrender, they have no third way. In the practice of the British Empire, it is not shameful to surrender when the enemy is unable to fight. However, pretending to surrender is breaking the practice.

Now Herbert insists.

The tracks of panther 3 tank rolled the ground and followed the hunter tank destroyer behind.

Meyer's armored company still rushed to the front. He looked opposite through the observation hole of the tank. He was a little puzzled.

Very strange.

From here, you can see the British tanks scattered in all directions and distributed in the fields a few kilometers away in front. Some tanks are crooked, and the turret is in any direction.

No black smoke was seen, indicating that the other party's engine did not start.

What's going on?

This situation has been seen before. The other party's tank forces are running away. At the same time, their tanks are out of oil and can't drive the tanks to evacuate, so they can only throw away the tanks.

If he was an ordinary armored force commander, he must think so, but now Meyer has doubts in his heart.

Why don't they blow up these tanks?

On the battlefield, it is normal to abandon weapons when they cannot be taken away. However, generally speaking, they will blow up weapons before leaving to prevent them from being acquired by the enemy.

This is almost a routine. Unless you run too fast to blow up, the other party is too bad.

"The British retreated and speed up the pursuit!" At this time, the radio officer conveyed the battalion commander's order.

The battalion commander made the same judgment. The British ran away and quickly caught up!

"No, we need to try two shots first." Mayer said: "order, No. 1, 2 and 3 pursuers in row 1 of company 3, fire on the British tank opposite!"

The British tanks on the opposite side are too weak. They don't have to waste their own 88mm shells. The hunter's 75mm gun is enough to destroy each other.

After receiving the order, three Hunter chaser tank destroyers stopped. After a little preparation, the muzzle roared.

"Boom!" A black smoke came out of the 75mm tank muzzle, and an armor piercing bullet flew opposite.

"Don't move, hold on!" The opposite tank fired shells, and the British soldiers here were stunned. At this time, Herbert quickly gave orders to his subordinates.

Tanks seem to be abandoned. In fact, they are not abandoned. Inside the tank, the tank hands are still hidden inside.

They had flasks and anti tank grenades in their hands.

According to the original plan, these tanks are scattered here. The Germans will think that their own side has retreated and abandoned these tanks. Then, the Germans will step up their pursuit and pass through their own tanks that seem harmless to humans and animals.

The scattered area of these tanks is very large, and the other party will certainly not be prepared.

When the other party passes, his own side can suddenly come out and greet them with a burning bottle!

This plan needs soldiers who are bold, careful and determined to die. When Herbert gave orders and he volunteered to stay, the tank soldiers also showed their courage.

No one was a deserter. They chose to be with their brigade commander.

They hid inside the tank and waited for that moment.

However, they did not expect that the Germans were so careful that they opened fire from a distance when they found their own "abandoned" tanks!

Can't move!

If at this time, frightened by the Germans, they climb out of the tank directly to escape, or launch the tank to escape, it will undoubtedly be exposed!

Can't move!

Tank driver Cruz, stay in his tank. He has a good line of sight on his side. He can just see the opposite tank firing.

From his heart, he had an impulse to leave the iron coffin. The other party fired armor piercing bullets, not grenades. When he left the tank, he left the danger.

But he didn't move. He knew he couldn't move.

When there was no order, they had to stay in the tank. That order was the explosion when the brigade commander first threw an anti tank grenade!

Now, the German tanks have not arrived yet.

Can't move.

Inside the tank, several people were equally determined.

"Boom!" Just then, the incoming armor piercing projectile hit their tank. Although it had 60mm armor, it still could not withstand the attack of German 75mm armor piercing projectile!

The armor piercing bullet pierced the front body, passed through the middle, and hit the rear engine. The explosion light swallowed the tank.

No one moves, they can't move!
