Chapter 846 Italians? Don't worry

,In history, the Sherman tank has countless modifications, and the later models have developed very strongly, but the early models are still a slack.

Americans are very arrogant and think that their equipment is very good, but now, when applied to the battlefield, they can realize how useless it is.

The only result of today was to be shot from the side, and they could see that they hit several consecutive hits, but they just ended up with it!

This kind of battle result is unacceptable to them.

"The American tank guns are not as good as our 17-pound guns at all. It would be great if our 17-pound guns could be installed on the Sherman tank." Another general said on the side.

If it were the nemesis of the German tank, it would definitely be a 17-pound cannon. Unfortunately, with the loss of the local area, it is difficult to see this cannon.

"By the way, in today's daytime battle, the US m5 anti-tank gun successfully destroyed the Black Panther 3 tank, and it was destroyed from the front!" Another man suddenly remembered something. This was the first time that his anti-tank gun destroyed the opponent's tank from the front!

Therefore, since there is no 17-pound gun, just install the m5 anti-tank gun, and it can be used temporarily.

Although the caliber of the two guns is the same, both 2mm, in terms of effect, the m5 gun is definitely more powerful! Just look at the length.

"So, can we load the m5 guns onto the tank?" Montgomery asked.

When everyone heard his question, they looked at each other. It was not that easy. Look at the current Sherman tank, the barrel on it is quite short, while the m5 anti-tank gun is too long, and the medicine room is different, so it is not so easy to install.

Historically, the British loaded their 17-pound anti-tank guns onto tanks and still had to cut the launch cartridges to be considered as a result of the integration, which resulted in the power of such guns being less powerful than towed anti-tank guns.

"We have several technical experts coming from the local area and they can give it a try," said a deputy.

As George VI showed his flag in Egypt, some people who were unwilling to be with Edward VIII were still trying their best to come to Egypt, and today several experts from the Royal Ordnance came.

Montgomery nodded: "Well, let them try it. Even if they just remove the turret and use only Sherman's chassis, we must complete the modification as soon as possible. We need to be able to completely restrain the weapons of German tanks."

What can’t be done? I’m afraid I can’t imagine that there is nothing I can’t do, so I keep Sherman’s chassis and make it a convertible on it. The m5 anti-tank gun can definitely be installed!

If you talk about Sherman's excellent things, I'm afraid the performance of the chassis is not bad, but it's a pity that it's too high!

As soon as he said this, a general hurried in with a telegram: "No, the Germans launched an attack on our Mitria Mountains at night. The Indian division there was at risk of collapse at any time!"

It is not easy to fight at night, and it will become a problem for the identification of the enemy and us. When the Germans attack, they usually use armored troops. Therefore, they rarely have the practice of sneak attacks at night.

Tonight, an accident suddenly happened.

The southern region, which has always thought it would become a so-called character, is constantly ushering in battle!

Montgomery stood up suddenly and hurriedly said, "Is it the German armored troops attacked at night?"

"No, it was the infantry that came, it was the Italians who attacked us."

Are the infantry or Italians coming! Hearing this, Montgomery relaxed: "Let the South African division behind them go and support them!"

The combat effectiveness of the Italians has always been obvious to all. They must have taken the wrong medicine tonight and actually took the initiative to attack. It must be because of the failure during the day and just wanted to regain their face at night. This is also good, let them hit the wall again!

Montgomery really didn't care too much. He just thought it was a night harassment. He didn't know that soon, he would be very upset about his negligence.

Compared to his opponent, Rommel was relatively relaxed at this time.

The lights at the command center were still on, and they listened to the reports from the front line.

"As the vanguard, the Italian infantry division has rushed to the British position and is engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the British army."

This news made Marshal Graziani stunned. How could this be possible? Still fighting hand in hand?

You must know how strong the combat effectiveness of our troops is. In short, there will definitely be no hand-to-hand combat. The situation of blood splattering on the spot is not in line with the Italian gentlemen.

"Order the rest of the infantry divisions to press on me!" Rommel said: "Tonight, you must capture the Mitria Mountains! If you can't capture them, then no one will come back!"

Tanks are not omnipotent. In the mountains, tanks are greatly restricted, especially the Mitria Mountains, where the mountains on both sides are steep and only the roads in the middle can pass. If the tank troops pass by rashly, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

Rommel had long been thinking about how to attack with infantry, and now, he just happened to use Italian infantry.

"How about our team's casualties?" Marshal Graziani asked, suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart.

The front line is filled with the blood of Italian soldiers!

"The casualties are not clear yet, Marshal."

Only after the battle is over and the casualties of the troops return to the team can be counted. It is impossible to know now, especially at night.

Marshal Graziani relaxed a little. As long as the casualties exceeded 10%, the Italian division was in danger of collapse. Now, since he was still fighting on the front line, the casualties must be minimal.

He could only comfort himself like this. At this time, he didn't know that the casualty rate of the suicide squads who rushed to the front was as high as 30%. Many of the soldiers who were still fighting were even won, but they were still fighting very vigorously!

Donatro reached out to get the magazine from behind him, and then he found that the back of him was empty!

Before leaving, each person was equipped with eight magazines, four on one side, plus the ones that were originally on the gun, a total of nine, each with 32 rounds. That is to say, that night, he consumed a total of nearly three hundred rounds of bullets!

As for the enemies he killed, he didn't count them carefully, because he could no longer count them later, but at least there were more than a dozen.

Now, there are no bullets!

what to do?

Of course, you can't be idle, hurry up and touch other weapons from the ground!

He bent down and wanted to take the rifle in his hand in a corpse on the ground, hang a bayonet, and kill it will definitely be more satisfying!

However, just when he wanted to pick it up, he suddenly realized that the other party was holding it tightly without holding it!

"Boom!" Not far away, a grenade exploded. With the light, he saw the blood-faced Indian soldier lying on the ground. He suddenly opened his eyes and revealed his white teeth.

In an instant, Donatro understood that this guy was the same as before, and pretended to be dead if he was not in a good situation! But now, there was murderous aura in the other party's eyes!
Chapter completed!
