Of course, in a large empty landing site, a truck driven by our own personnel was actually being chased by a German Panzer IV tank.
Thousands of British paratroopers who have landed one after another will not just sit idly by.
In fact, these elite troops in the British army did not raise the issue of poor command at the lower levels. The grassroots officers and soldiers still fought in a very orderly manner during the battle.
Immediately after landing, they got closer to each other with their comrades and formed fighting groups.
While exchanging fire with the surrounding German troops, we established a larger safe landing site.
While collecting supplies and equipment dropped from the air, they strengthened their own combat effectiveness.
Soon after, the German infantry and air defense positions on the ground were eliminated by their superior strength.
An airborne field with a radius of several kilometers is about to fall completely into their hands.
At this time, it seems that in the entire airborne area, there is only one village with a tall church left.
The German soldiers, who were now surrounded by half a company, were holding on with the support of two armored vehicles...
The other target worth mentioning is the only No. 4 tank that is frantically chasing Bai Xiang and others.
Therefore, a considerable number of British paratroopers took action spontaneously and participated in the attack on this German tank.
Unfortunately, these paratroopers were soon discovered by helpless paratroopers carrying various anti-tank weapons.
Before they started moving the empty Willys Jeep among the airborne equipment, they couldn't catch up with the speeding tank.
It's impossible for them to ride folding bicycles or small pocket-sized motorcycles to chase down a 20-ton Panzer IV tank, right?
Therefore, it will take a certain amount of time and luck to kill that Panzer IV...
When White Elephant was under great pressure and was driving a Mercedes-Benz truck to escape, Fat Chicken's excited voice suddenly sounded in his ears:
"Sisters, turn left, there is a tank there to support us."
In the great surprise that suddenly rose in his heart, Bai Xiang turned his head and looked over, and it turned out that it was indeed such a thing.
I saw a British Army's 'Monarch Light Tank', a 7.6-ton MK7 tank, driving towards us with a thin barrel pointed diagonally.
Indeed! This thing looks a bit smaller, and its weapon only has a 2-pound 40mm tank gun.
But no matter what, it is a serious tank, and it also has a gun barrel.
Suddenly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, the white elephant faced the back of the carriage and shouted loudly: "Everyone, hurry up~"
He also turned the steering wheel suddenly, causing the Mercedes-Benz truck he was driving to fly past the side of the MK7 tank.
It was like bringing the two tanks between the two sides face to face, and a deadly fight was about to begin.
In response to this, everyone in the carriage was looking forward to it.
Based on the fact that the tonnage between the two is not on the same level, everyone on the truck does not expect the MK7 tank to kill the opponent. It will be greatly appreciated if it can block it for a while.
The problem is that as the saying goes: the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Under the expectant eyes of everyone in the carriage, the MK7 tank opened fire first, and a 40 mm caliber anti-personnel grenade hit the front of the approaching No. 4 tank.
Immediately, a conspicuous fire exploded from the turret of the No. 4 tank.
The problem is that in this ball of fire, the turret of the No. 4 tank was blackened a little, and some small holes were blown out.
Elsewhere, no results will be achieved.
Instead, immediately after, the No. 4 tank, which had paused for a second or two, opened fire. It was also an anti-personnel grenade, but it exploded the MK7 tank on the spot.
Then, as if it had done something insignificant, another thick plume of black smoke came out from behind the rear of the Panzer IV tank, and the chase continued.
There is quite a bit of a driver who will never stop chasing him until eternity.
Suddenly, a group of gentlemen from the Central Continent Team in the car became extremely angry.
What the heck! From the eastern battlefield to the western battlefield, and from the eastern front to the western front with the German soldiers, when did they get beaten to such an aggrieved level?
Now, the depression that had been accumulating finally broke out at this moment.
"Give me a few more long-handled grenades from those German sticks, and I'll kill this iron bastard." Honest Zhuye got angry rarely, but he seemed to be even more deadly.
Directly in his mouth, he shouted like this.
After hearing this, everyone delivered the body of the German stick who was killed by the white elephant in the car one by one, and the M24 grenade that they had taken off before throwing it down, and delivered it to Zhuye's hands one by one.
After Zhuye took over 6 grenades one after another, he tied them together with an armed belt.
Then, this middle-aged low-voltage electrician stood up and was ready to jump out of the truck with these grenades and fight.
The reason why Zhuye did this was because they had tried some methods in the past and gained such experience.
Even if a small number of grenades were thrown and hit the target, they would not be powerful enough to threaten such a Panzer IV tank.
However, cluster grenades that are large enough and powerful enough cannot be thrown that far.
Besides! This German crew is just crazy, but that doesn’t mean they are stupid; whenever they see smoking cluster grenades being thrown from the truck, they often do a little dodge.
The result is that the above methods are useless.
So faced with the above situation, what else can Zhuye and the others do?
The only way is for someone to jump down with a cluster grenade and look for an opportunity to fire the grenade; to kill this iron bastard like a human bomb.
However, the moment Zhuye stood up, something unexpected happened.
That was when suddenly Jin, Yang Zai grabbed Zhuye's military uniform and asked: "Zhuye, can I be considered a member of the Zhongzhou team now?"
"How long has it been since you asked such a question?" After hearing this, Zhuye cursed in his mouth.
But then, he still hurriedly gave an affirmative answer: "You didn't fish in the previous actions, and you followed the instructions, of course."
With such an affirmative answer, Zhuye said lightly:
"Since I am considered a member of the team, I must follow the rules of the team; now I have a broken leg and am a rookie with little fighting ability, so let me go."
The so-called team rules can actually only be a private understanding reached by a Central-Continent team during a long-term mission. It is the kind that is not stated clearly, but everyone basically follows it:
In order to complete the mission, to ensure more and stronger combat effectiveness is retained.
When someone has to die, the wounded and the rookies go first.
Indeed! Such an approach sounds a bit cruel, but it is very reasonable. The Zhongzhou team has always implemented it silently.
Based on this principle, after hesitating for a second or two, Zhuye nodded heavily.
At the same time, he faced Yang Zai and solemnly promised in his mouth: "In the future, whether you encounter problems in missions or in reality, just talk to me."
With such a sentence, he expressed his recognition of Yang Zai, a rookie...
