"The target is not moving." Here, through the sight of the tank, you can clearly see the situation opposite.

Our Hunter tank destroyer opened three guns and two guns to hit the target. In the static to static shooting, the gunner's aiming has been quite level.

One of the target tanks was even directly blasted, but there was no other movement on the opposite side.

It seems that I'm worried too much.

At this time, the battalion commander's supervision came from the radio again: "company 3, speed up, the division commander ordered us to intersperse the first armored division dividing the British."

They are the main force. They go straight through and divide the first armored division into two parts and eat them separately!

So, without more hesitation, Meyer issued an order to his troops: "move forward at full speed!"

forward!

The tank engine roared and the tracks rolled against the ground. One tank after another pushed forward quickly to the opposite side.

The load wheel bounced from time to time, and the torsion bar at the bottom of the tank was constantly offsetting the bouncing strength. It can be said that Germany was alone in the tank chassis.

The 40 ton chassis is enough to show the technical level of Germany.

The Panther 3 tank is in front and the hunter tank destroyer is in the back. In this way, they rush towards the position of the British tank. This is a straight line and the fastest way.

In the distance, the rumble of the engine is getting closer and closer. The British tankers are all excited to try.

Fast, fast.

In a tank in the center, brigade commander hebart also reluctantly suppressed his excitement and relied on the spirit of not afraid of death. After sacrificing the soldiers on two tanks, they finally waited for the opportunity!

From the observation hole here, you can see that the German tanks are rumbling up, closer, closer!

On the ground, there was a slight tremor. The start of German tank forces was quite powerful. The leading Panther 3 tank drove past. Behind it were those strange tanks without turrets.

Now, they don't know that the German Hunter tank destroyer and the attention of the British intelligence system are all on the Panther 3 tank.

"OK, it's time!" As soon as Herbert gritted his teeth, he suddenly drilled out of the top of his turret, holding a No. 74 grenade in his hand.

This kind of grenade looks like an extra large lollipop. And its principle is similar to that of lollipops.

The top is a large round metal shell. Inside the metal shell, there is a glass ball containing nitroglycerin. Its surface is pasted with strong adhesive, and below is an ordinary handle.

When he took it out, Herbert carefully pulled out the needle on the hand grenade. With a soft sound, the shell was divided into two and the glass ball was exposed. The other needle would activate the five second delayed explosion fuse.

This is a big lollipop!

This thing is very heavy. When Herbert drilled out, he immediately aimed at the Panther 3 tank that had just passed his tank. Let's start with it!

Twenty meters is the range he can throw out!

Herbert threw the grenade out with all his strength!

When using, you must be careful. If it sticks to your body, it will be troublesome.

The No. 74 grenade is a unique weapon developed by the British. It's like a strong adhesive, where you stick it!

This grenade appeared earlier than in history, which was the result of Churchill's intervention.

The strength of German armored forces made the British aware of their shortcomings in anti armor. In addition to developing new tanks and anti tank guns, they were also transforming simple and effective weapons.

For tank armor, bombing with grenades is not only a stupid method, but also an effective method. However, the power of a single grenade is insufficient, so more grenades need to be tied together.

On the one hand, it is relatively heavy, on the other hand, it is not easy to throw it on the tank.

After all, the tank won't stop there. It's constantly moving. If the grenade is thrown up, it may bump down again.

Moreover, grenades are round and easy to roll down. It is very sad to attack high targets with grenades, and it is easy to hurt yourself.

In this case, major miris Jeffries and major Stuart McRae, two members of the British First Defense Department, came up with an idea. Their idea was to make a grenade that would adhere to enemy tanks after being thrown.

After many failures, their grenades still had many shortcomings. However, after Churchill learned about the R & D project of this grenade, he began to urge its development and production.

Moreover, after watching a test demonstration of the grenade, he stared at the pressure and ordered the grenade to be put into production. Named anti tank grenade No. 74.

Churchill knew that no matter how many shortcomings, it at least provided infantry with an anti tank opportunity, which was better than facing the tank with both hands.

Now, this kind of grenade has just been put into production, with a small output. It was first allocated to the most elite troops, and the first Armored Division was assigned to a batch.

Now Herbert realized Churchill's intention. No matter how many shortcomings it has, at least British soldiers can fight German tanks!

In his attention, the grenade with his hope rolled accurately behind the Panther tank!

The rear protection of any tank is insufficient, especially if there is an engine at the rear, and the armor can not be very thick.

As long as the grenade explodes, it can blow up their engines. Even if the diesel engine doesn't catch fire, it can also make them lose their combat effectiveness.

Even better, if we beat back the German attack and get their tank back!

Herbert thought a lot in the short time when the grenade flew past. When his grenade accurately hit the tail of the Panther tank, he almost cheered.

succeed!

But the next moment, he was not happy.

I saw my own grenade hit the other party's tail, followed, gurgling down!

No sticking, no sticking!

If it sticks, it will be like a lollipop, firmly fixed there, and then explode. But now, it didn't stick, but rolled down.

Germans, really, don't you know how to maintain their tanks? So dirty!
