Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth trapped swamp
"What's going on?" Sergeant Ripp shouted to his mechanic in the mouse tank.
After the Black Panther 3 tank came, even if the mission of the mouse tank was completed, they should retreat.
The driver in front operated the mouse tank and slowly turned a large circle with a radius of more than 50 meters, preparing to cross the anti-tank trench and then return to the rear.
Their actual combat has gained a lot, tested the combat effectiveness of this tank, and at the same time, it will be of great inspiration to subsequent improvements.
However, just as they walked back less than fifty meters, the tank stopped.
This made the commander Rip extremely depressed. When they were charging, they were so mighty. Now he hoped to turn around gorgeously and complete this mission successfully.
But who would have thought that they would actually lose their links at this time?
At the same time, he felt very lucky. If he dropped the chain when he just charged, it would be even more troublesome.
The mouse tank is huge and the internal space is also spacious. The radio with the car is part-time engineer, slowly climbing towards the back: "It should be that the fireworks have just been fired too many times. Maybe some of the lines behind us are loose. Stop the engine first and I will check the lines."
The engine is rotating and the generator is working, but the power is not transmitted to the rear motor, so the possibility of the intermediate line failure is greater.
During the test run, I once discovered some problems with poor contact with the lines, but now, with so many guns fired, it is normal to have them violently shaken.
After finding some place that has poor contact, go back and improve it!
Just as the engineer was climbing backwards, Sergeant Ripp could only wait. As a test runner, he actually understood mechanical structures, but the space behind was too small.
If it really doesn't work, he can only risk going out, open the cover behind and help with maintenance from outside.
This tank is too bulky. Once the tank cannot move, it can only be repaired. If it wants to drag it back, it is impossible. Even if it is ten Black Panther 3 tanks, it cannot be pulled.
While he was waiting, he heard the noise from the radio, and at the same time he had never felt nervous.
What's going on?
The hatch cover above his head was still open, and Sergeant Ripp poked out his upper body from the inside and looked outside. Suddenly, he couldn't help but curse.
Damn it!
The rolling tide was rushing towards this side! The front end of the tide had already contacted the edge of its own tank troops, and the infantry below it was rushing to climb onto the tank!
The tide was only more than one meter high and could not submerge the entire tank, but at least the tanks on our side could not move now!
Suddenly, his face changed even more, and he suddenly thought, what about his tank? If Black Panther 3 can't move, his tank will be even more unable to move!
"Quick, hurry, we must repair the tank as soon as possible!" Sergeant Ripp couldn't help but shout loudly.
Unfortunately, three minutes later, his tank also entered the rolling flood!
If you look from the sky, you can see that this flood almost spread throughout the entire defense line. It lasted for more than half an hour before the flood gradually weakened, and the entire defense line turned into a huge swamp!
The soil below was not strong at first, but now it is even more soft!
The Black Panther 3 tanks were emitting black smoke in the mud, and the engine kept roaring, but the tracks kept slipping in the mud!
The German tank troops were trapped!
Rear, command center.
"The British dared to dig the Teddington Barrier!" The command center was filled with curses: "Don't they plan to ask for their capital?"
The commander of the Skeleton Division, Armored Meyer, was extremely angry at this time. From here, you can see your attacking troops from afar with a telescope, struggling in the mud. The German tank troops have never suffered such a loss since they were formed!
Manstein didn't say anything. Just now, they all made a wrong judgment. No one expected that they had already reached the capital of the British. They had such a tenacious will to resist. At the same time, they actually had such a terrible tactic!
All of them ignored the tide of the Thames and the power of nature. In fact, when the British used the Thames water to fill the anti-tank trenches, they should have thought of it!
On Guderian's arm, blue veins swelled up, and as the commander-in-chief, he had to take on more important responsibilities.
Now, the situation is very obvious. The front-line troops on one side are trapped in the swamp and cannot advance or retreat. If the British can seize the opportunity, they can even capture their front-line troops with a resolute counterattack. After all, the logistics supply of their front-line troops cannot be increased. Once the bullets and oil are consumed, there is probably only one way to surrender.
Such failure is definitely something that we cannot tolerate!
"Immediately, violent shelling of the British positions will be carried out to prevent the British from taking risks!" said Goodrian.
In this case, shelling is very dangerous and may hurt one's own people by chance. However, only shelling can make the British throw themselves into danger and prevent them from coming out.
Sporadic accidental injuries are better than being captured in an established manner in the army?
Guderian's order was executed quickly.
At this time, there was a lot of cheers on the British position.
They watched the flood come and watched the German tanks that had rushed to within five hundred meters of their area, surrounded by the flood. Then, the flood slowly penetrated into the land, turned into mud, and trapped the German army. At this time, they were extremely excited.
"When it's dark, we'll go out and capture the German tanks!" Captain Hack shouted loudly, cheering his subordinates, and he really wanted to do so.
The German tanks have always been invincible, but now they are finally trapped, which is of course the best opportunity!
The Germans' weapons were fired continuously, so their ammunition consumption must be astronomical. As long as their ammunition is consumed, they will either step on the mud or stay and be captured by their own side!
And those tanks must be unable to move, so they can only leave them to their own side, so that they can study and study them well. Why are the German tanks so powerful?
Looking at the tanks, Huck now seemed to be looking at his own pocket. At the same time, he was extremely impressed that General Hobert was so powerful. This was simply an action to reverse the entire battle situation in one fell swoop!
Chapter completed!
