Chapter 259:The U.S. Military Tank's Counterattack

Bombing and bombardment did not destroy the enemy's attack.

Even the U.S. troops who lost their artillery support continued to attack resolutely.

U.S. soldiers who stayed on the battlefield, quickly dug foxholes and machine gun positions, and half an hour later, the U.S. attack began again.

This time, the attack is a comprehensive attack, and there is a U.S. military attack in front of the town and around.

More tanks are on the front.

Just seeing a large number of enemies around him was enough to put unprecedented pressure on the Red Guards.

The mortar troops that had already shot all the yuan and launched a rapid counterattack, destroying all the machine gun positions just laid out on the front line of the US military.

The concealed Red Police machine gun positions also roared, and the intensive fire ripped many unsuspecting American soldiers.

Lost the cover of machine gun fire, responsible for the left and right wing of the U.S. military forces, a time of heavy losses, fire gap, gave the Red Police soldiers the best chance to counterattack.

However, the U.S. troops in the attack also changed their previous style, shouting the recovery of lost land, driving the enemy out of the slogan of the United States, and frantically rushed to the town.

The enemy is not stupid, in the first round of fighting, has tested the enemy forces in the town is not much, the attack is naturally completely free of hands and feet.

In the desperate attack of American soldiers, the U.S. offensive forces also pushed to a distance of less than two hundred meters from the town.

The red police soldiers at the front had to alternately cover the evacuation, otherwise they would soon be engulfed by the U.S. forces under the superior forces.

Moreover, the emergence of a large number of American tanks also forced the troops on the front line to begin to shift.

The self-propelled howitzer battalion in the distance sounded, and the shells fell on the side of the U.S. troops in the attack, and the terrible killing radius made the U.S. troops in the attack pay a lot of price.

However, these American soldiers who were not rookie, when they heard the howling of the shells, they all lay on the ground in time to avoid the terrible lethality of the shell explosion, and only the people near the explosion center were killed by the explosion.

Under the cover of artillery, the Red Guards who successfully alternated to cover the retreat quickly left the town.

This kind of combat is not to be able to win by sticking to it, but to maintain the superior combat force and then carry out mobile combat.

Soldiers leaving the town, quickly boarding the armored vehicles waiting in the back of the town, and a three rhinoceros tanks all in hiding are also in action.

The high pile of grass, pushed away by tanks, camouflaged as haystack tanks and armored vehicles, appeared on the battlefield.

The American soldiers who were still on the offensive were about to enter the town, and they were all shocked to see the failure of the rhinoceros tank.

These American soldiers with combat experience were once dominated by the fear of rhino tanks, and when they saw this behemoth, many soldiers were naturally afraid.

However, as an enemy of the U.S. military tank force, in addition to fear, there is no ambiguity.

More than a dozen tanks attacked, and three rhinoceros tanks, which were covered by U.S. tanks.

However, the frontal attack, the power of the U.S. tank artillery, can not help the rhinoceros tank.

The frontal armor of the three rhino tanks is covered with bullet holes, which are all scars that have been bombarded by American tanks, and there is no scar, which can hurt the fundamentals of the frontal armor of the tank.

The rhinoceros tank, which was launched as a counterattack, easily destroyed three Hillmans two hundred meters away, was easily broken down.

This makes the U.S. tank troops, once again desperate, you know, these first time on the battlefield of Sherman Firefly, not only equipped with the most advanced large-caliber tank gun, but also the use of shells, but also the latest development of the hat was armor-piercing, can easily break through 220 mm armor.

It was thought that such armor-piercing capabilities had been able to destroy the enemy's rhinoceros tanks, but the actual battle once again proved that even at a distance of two hundred meters, such an attack still did not work against the rhino tank.

In fact, the rhino tank frontal armor defense, completely comparable to 400 mm of homogeneous armor, unless the U.S. military can develop 105 mm caliber unburst armor, otherwise it does not threaten the frontal armor of the rhino tank.

In fact, the U.S. military also until 1944, officially equipped with shell-piercing shells, although the Red Police Corps gave the U.S. military great pressure, but because a large number of local industries were destroyed, the U.S. military's military development work, not only did not progress, but retreated.

In order to equip the turrets with 105 mm guns, the bodies of these Sherman Fireflies are relatively large, especially the upper body turret, the structure is more bloated, and due to the overweight turret, the tank driving is very problematic, the complex terrain is dangerous to rollover, and the speed is slow, and it is easy to be attacked.

The three exposed tanks did not attack, but covered the armored vehicles and withdrew while playing.

Back in the rhinoceros tank, constantly destroying the approaching U.S. tanks, even under the cover of smoke bombs, with infrared-targeted rhino tanks, can clearly find the engine of Sherman's heat, and then easily destroy the enemy.

Li Youming, who was evacuating, ordered the troops to maintain a moderate withdrawal speed, because the support troops were about to arrive, and the counter-offensive would be next.

The U.S. troops in the attack not retreated, but accelerated the pace of the attack.

The battlefield has crossed the town, and it seems that the red police troops in retreat have given the American soldiers in the attack, and the courage to attack.

And more tanks, appeared on the battlefield, just when Li Youming's three tanks were always only two or three hundred meters away from the enemy, behind the US military, a shell flew and landed on the side of the 055 tank, the huge crater and the explosion, which shocked everyone in the 055 tank.

The side skirt of the crawler was blown open, the whole break, if not the side skirt, I am afraid that the track has been broken in the explosion just now.

“Damn, what was it?”

The 056 tank on the edge, hastily asked, just the explosion, scared everyone.

“It is a 155-heavy artillery shell, how can the U.S. artillery still launch the shelling.”There was also a sound inside the 054 tank.

Only Li Youming said nothing, because he had already seen a large body behind the U.S. tank troops.

It was a tank destroyer that blended into a body and turret, a huge body that looked much slower than Hillman.

Most notably, in this somewhat German-bound tank destroyer, there was a long gun and a 155 mm barrel, which shocked Li Youming.
