"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The German anti-tank guns fired continuously, and the British tanks were shot into fireballs one by one.
The power of the 37mm anti-tank gun is enough to penetrate the thin armor of the 'Hound Dog' tank at a distance of thousands of meters. However, in order to ensure the hit rate, the combat distance was set to a few hundred meters.
The number of anti-tank guns equipped by the German army is not many, but it is also quite a lot. Even an ordinary infantry company will be equipped with two doors. Anti-tank guns can be used not only to destroy enemy armored targets, but also to deal with bunkers or machine gun fire points, etc., which are very useful.
It is precisely because of this that the German army's anti-armor strength is very strong. This directly made the attack of the British tank troops as if they had hit an iron plate.
"Boom!"
A British "Hound Dog" tank opened fire, and a shell flew towards the German position. But unfortunately, it was not able to hit the target.
But when it fired, it was hit by a German anti-tank gun.
"Dang!" The armor-piercing projectile fired by the anti-tank gun slammed into the front armor of the tank. The fragile armor was torn apart in an instant. The fragments exploded in the small space inside the tank, killing the tank soldiers inside.
Under the fierce firepower of the German anti-tank guns, the losses of the British tank troops began to rise sharply.
Admiral Haig observed all this with a telescope. When he watched the losses of the British tank troops increasing, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Originally, he had great confidence in the tank force, thinking that hundreds of tanks launched an attack, no matter what, they could break through the German defense line and defeat them. But now it seems that it is useless at all! Those tanks have been beaten into flaming scrap iron.
"God! How could the Germans be equipped with so many anti-tank guns? How could their anti-tank guns be so powerful?" Admiral Hamilton's face was also very ugly. He used to regard these tanks as treasures before, but he did not expect that after entering the battlefield, they would appear so vulnerable.
"Your Excellency, the German anti-tank firepower is too strong. I am afraid it will be difficult for our tank troops to achieve the expected combat objectives!" Admiral Haig had to give Admiral Hamilton a vaccination in advance.
This immediately made Admiral Hamilton's face even uglier.
If the attack of the British tank unit fails, their counterattack will also face failure. Then, the battle situation will be very unfavorable to the British army. I am afraid that the entire southeast theater will suffer heavy losses in this battle, and the defeat will be crushing.
"Boom!"
An anti-tank artillery shell hit a British tank. However, perhaps because of the angle, the shell did not penetrate the armor of the tank, but flew out.
However, the crisp impact sound scared the tank soldiers hiding inside out of their wits.
"My God! We got hit."
"Fortunately, it was not penetrated, otherwise, we would be dead!"
"Damn, get out of here. We can't go any further. If we go any further, we'll be destroyed by the Germans!"
The tank soldiers who survived in this tank immediately reached a consensus. Regardless of the orders from their superiors, they forcibly turned the tank around, trying to escape from the battlefield.
At this time, the British tank troops are attacking forward. This tank wants to go retrograde, and the consequences can be imagined.
In a panic, this tank had a loading accident with another tank. Moreover, it also caused multiple tank collision accidents. This made the formation of the British tank troops even more chaotic.
The changes in the British tank unit immediately attracted the attention of the German army. The commander of the German 1st Armored Division immediately gave the order to attack.
The German armored forces, already gearing up for a long time, rushed out of the trenches and entered the battlefield.
"Boom! Boom!"
The tank guns of the tanks fired, hitting the British tanks into fireballs.
A distance of several hundred meters is easy for these tanks to hit the target.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for the British tank troops.
After the German armored units entered the battlefield, a large number of British tanks were destroyed in an instant, causing the losses of the British tank units to soar.
"My God! The German tank troops have appeared, quickly resist them!" General Hamilton exclaimed after seeing this scene.
However, the British tank force, which was already in chaos, has been completely beaten in the face of huge losses. When they saw the dark German tanks rushing like tigers, they didn't think of fighting, but turned around and ran away immediately.
This makes the situation on the battlefield very strange. The British tanks still have a numerical advantage, but they are defeated by the German tanks.
Especially after those tanks finished turning and pointed their butts at the German tanks, they were completely slaughtered. A large number of tanks were pierced from behind by German tanks and became a pile of scrap iron.
When the German armored forces were chasing and killing the British tanks, fighter planes from the German Army Air Force also came to help. Hundreds of H1 bombers flew over the heads of the British tank troops and dropped bombs.
One bomb after another fell like dumplings, and there were intensive explosions on the ground.
Although these tanks are all 25 kg light aerial bombs, they pose a deadly threat to the British tanks.
If hit directly, it will be blown up on the spot. Even if the bomb explodes next to the tank, the shrapnel can easily tear apart the weak armor.
Under the intensive bombing of the German Army Air Force, a large number of British tanks were directly destroyed. This made the remaining tank soldiers even more scared out of their wits. They drove at full speed and wanted to escape from the battlefield, but they didn't have any courage to fight on.
The first large-scale operation of the British tank force can be described as a fiasco. They were jointly attacked by the German armored forces and the Army Air Force, and suffered extremely heavy losses. When attacking, there were more than 500 tanks. However, the number of tanks that were safely withdrawn was less than a hundred. The rest of the tanks have been destroyed.
More importantly, the confidence of the British tank troops was completely destroyed in this battle. Those tank soldiers did not dare to enter the tank at all, let alone fight the German army.
This also made the British army's desperate counterattack end in failure.
