"Run, run." Locke shouted to his driver and turned the turret.

Just now they met head-on, the turret was in front, and now they began to retreat. The turret turned half a circle and reached the rear. Locke continued to concentrate.

In this era without ballistic computers, bistable systems, cross wind sensors and laser rangefinders, it is unthinkable to want to engage in action to move shooting. However, if you have a continuous weapon in your hand, it is another scene.

"Bang, bang!" The 40mm bofoss chariot gun sent out a continuous fire, and shells poured towards the pursuing Crusader tanks!

This fire force made the other party dare not approach, and at the same time, the speed of the reconnaissance vehicle finally got up.

The diesel engine at the tail roared and black smoke kept coming out. Every sudden interruption was raising a gear.

If compared with speed, tracked chariots can never compare with wheeled chariots!

The British ocean cruising tanks have reached the limit of more than 60 kilometers per hour in the desert, but it is possible for wheeled infantry combat vehicles to reach 70 or 80 kilometers per hour!

All they need is to speed up the process.

The roar of the diesel engine is deafening. With the continuous improvement of gear, the speed is also accelerating. At the same time, the roar of shells is constantly coming around.

No 57mm tank shell hit them. The nearest one is more than ten meters! This kind of moving to moving shooting is a waste of ammunition.

Just now Locke just delayed the other party's action. Now he saw that his armored vehicle had accelerated, and he also gave up firing.

Back in the car, Locke shouted to his radio man, "how's it going? What about? Have you contacted the battalion commander? "

"Yes, the battalion commander is arranging his pockets. In area 37, he asked us to attract the tank troops behind us, and the battalion commander can wipe them out." Shouted the radio man.

Their reconnaissance vehicle also belongs to the 66th tank battalion. When they got off the ship, the tanks unloaded first and began to soar. They didn't even wait for the reconnaissance vehicle. They were all Panther 3 tanks.

When the battle was over, the troops from the rear came one after another, and the reconnaissance vehicles, supply vehicles and cooking vehicles belonging to the tank battalion followed.

Now, the whole tank battalion is replenishing and eating at the same time, while the reconnaissance vehicle is released to expand the reconnaissance area. In this way, they found that the British suddenly sent out the main armored force!

After receiving the radio message, Carl Maus immediately issued an order. A tank company was urgently pulled out and ran to area 37 to arrange its pockets. At the same time, other tanks remained in the original camp, waiting to be attacked by the British.

Teach the British a good lesson and let them know the power of the German armored forces!

During the time on the ship, the commanders of the whole armored force were almost studying the map, with dense marks on it, and the edges and corners of the map were worn out, indicating that they had studied the map deeply.

Area 37, near tubruge, their camp is about 15 kilometers, with earth slopes on three sides, which is very suitable for tanks to hide behind, fire and ambush.

After receiving the order, the tanks of the third tank company roared forward. The company commander SERG varaine shouted to his subordinates, "hurry, hide well, the British are coming soon!"

Good concealment!

They moved to the back of the earth slope and turned the black barrel towards the flat land in the middle. Some people even collected some dead branches from the side and put them on the tank.

The engine has been turned off to prevent the black smoke from being found by the enemy. At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and the whole earth has turned orange, just like blood.

Company commander walein squatted next to his tank and looked into the distance with a telescope. Soon, he saw black smoke on the horizon.

This is a rally! I couldn't help admiring Varian.

At the front is our own wheeled reconnaissance vehicle. The driver of this reconnaissance vehicle is also doing his best. You can see that the car flies from time to time!

In the back, there are some tanks carrying small guns. Five pairs of load-bearing wheels are bumping up and down with the rapid progress. You can see that the other party is also trying his best.

Black smoke from the engine kept coming out from behind.

"Ready, let the British know our strength, steel core armor piercing bullet, loading!"

The engine has stalled, and now it almost depends on the power of the battery. Therefore, the tank hand even has to use the hand to make the advance of the gun barrel, and only wait for the other party to enter their own field of vision, they can fire!

The 88mm tank gun barrel aimed at the open space in front. The tank commanders were waiting excitedly.

"Speed up, speed up!" The roar of the company commander kept ringing in the radio. Looking at the armored car, it was right in front of me, but I couldn't catch up!

The accelerator has reached the end, and the driver is helpless. Just when he plans to continue to work harder, suddenly, the instrument pointer in front of him shakes and a warning light lights up.

His foot, released from the accelerator.

"What's going on? How did you slow down? " The company commander slapped the armor next to him and shouted.

"The engine is overheated and we can't continue to start." Shouted the driver.

In order to be cheerful, they removed the speed limiter of the engine and let the tank soar to more than 60 kilometers per hour. Of course, there is a price!

Why speed limit? Why reduce power? It's because the engine can't dissipate heat! This is originally an aeroengine. When it is used in the sky, the temperature is low, but when it is used on the ground, the temperature is high, and when it is used in the desert, the temperature is even higher!

All the way, I was only happy. Now, the engine is hot!

If you continue to start, the next step is to pull the cylinder, and then the engine will be scrapped!

If it was Lao maozi who started the tank, he would ignore everything. Even if the water in the tank leaked, he dared to drive and go on. But now, British soldiers are still very principled.

The engine is too hot to shut down immediately, so the cooling system will not work. Release the gear and let the engine idle. The driver operates in an orderly manner according to the specified process.

The tank stopped.

Other tanks also stopped, half weight, their tanks, the water temperature is also high, and the engine is overheated! So they could only watch the wheeled armored vehicle continue to escape, but there was nothing they could do.

German equipment, running for a long time, is not afraid of high temperature?
