Romanian Eagle

Chapter 802 Middle East Battle (2)

Early in the morning is a good time for sleep, so everything is resting, except for some grasshoppers and the like chirping in the dark.

But tonight's Nagula, the grasshopper hid in the hole without calling again.

Nagula tonight is not friendly to animals, but it is very friendly to the Romanian army stationed here. Now they are making preparations before the war. The artillery and tanks have arrived at their predetermined positions, waiting for the arrival of the designated time.

A little behind Tyre, a large number of armored vehicles were waiting here. They waited until the battle broke out and rushed out to give the enemy a heavy blow.

However, among the armored vehicles in Changlong, the leader is a tall and mighty tank, which is the R30 heavy tank that rarely appeared before.

This tank, like a mobile fortress, will be an insurmountable problem for the current British army. The 100mm thick sloping armor makes any anti-tank weapon in the hands of the British powerless, and no one or armor can survive under the 48 times the 88mm main gun. The 650-horsepower diesel engine propels this 46-ton behemoth forward at a speed of 38 kilometers per hour.

This time, in order to open up the situation for the front-line infantry, the R30 tank will let the British know how powerful it is as an infantry tank.

As the attack time approached, the atmosphere in the night sky became more and more solid, and the expressions on the faces of the Romanian soldiers who were preparing to attack became more and more serious, and even the nocturnal animals became quiet.

The British troops on the defensive position also seemed to feel something.

Does it feel wrong?

If you say that, it seems to be true.

No, this is because the enemy wants to attack. Report to the commander quickly.

With the vigilance of the British sentry, the defensive position immediately became lively, and the soldiers who had been resting a lot were woken up. They quickly put on clothes and weapons and gathered towards the position.

It's just that they were a little late to be alert. Just when the defending British wanted to prepare for the defense, a red light appeared in the sky, and the artillery from behind the Romanian position opened fire.

As the first mover, artillery from Romania rained down on the position.

The enemy is shelling, and quickly lie down.

In fact, there is no need for the officers' roar. When the artillery fire came, the soldiers,

They threw themselves down in the trenches to avoid the incoming artillery.

Boom, boom, boom~

The artillery shells continued to explode on the position, and the defenders could only wait patiently for the end of the artillery bombardment.

In fact, the soldiers on the position still have a doubt. Why, our artillery doesn't fight back?

Just as they were complaining, there was also a rumbling sound of artillery from the rear, and the artillery of the defenders from the rear of the position also opened fire.

As the British artillery opened fire, the defenders felt that the explosion above their heads was much smaller. They felt right, many of the artillery of the attackers were firing at opponents who dared to counterattack.

For a time, the artillery of both sides were under their respective command, trying to suppress their opponents.

The artillery battle continued until dawn, when the British artillery ceased as Romanian fighter planes appeared in the sky.

Without the interference of British artillery, the position fell back into large-scale shelling.

Of course, this time was not long, and then the shelling stopped as the Romanian soldiers approached the position with the cooperation of the tanks.

However, although the end of the shelling gave the British a sigh of relief, the incoming soldiers and tanks made it even more headaches, especially this obviously tall and large tank.

The tank is here, get it done.

In the face of such a situation, the commander of the defending army should give the correct response.

The commander ordered the anti-tank team. Each position has one or two such anti-tank teams. They are equipped with 2-4 2-pound (40mm) anti-tank guns and are ready to inflict heavy damage on incoming enemy tanks. .

I saw that this anti-tank team quickly chose a good location. There were craters everywhere, and there were suitable locations everywhere. With the three 2-pounders quickly ready,

Target eleven o'clock, that tank, get ready to fire!

As ordered by the commanding officer, all three 2-pounders focused their target on one prey.

Fire!

Bang, bang, bang~

The three 2-pounder guns had no intention of stopping, and kept firing on the tall tank.

Ding Ding Ding ~

The constant crashing sound shocked the members of the tank, but after discovering that these shells could not help its thick armor, the tank did not stop, and still rumbled toward the position.

What's the matter? It can't penetrate the armor of the enemy tank at all. It's still moving.

The members of the anti-tank squad were a little anxious looking at this situation. They couldn't penetrate the enemy's armor, which made them feel that they had no effect at all. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the defending army rushed to great pressure.

The officers and soldiers whose morale was hit by this tank could only keep firing, trying to separate it from the soldiers who were fighting together, and then think of other solutions.

However, their efforts were doomed to be in vain, and many soldiers of the attackers were hiding behind this tall tank, allowing it to avoid the bullets ahead for themselves.

It was not until the tank was only 300 meters away from the position that the R30 heavy tank, which was continuously bombarded by the 2-pounder, stopped.

However, although it stopped, its on-board machine gun was not vegetarian, and it was a burst of suppressive shooting at the position. Its main gun even fired at the 2-pounder anti-tank gun that kept shelling itself.

After a burst of shelling, the anti-tank position consisting of three 2-pounder guns was destroyed without its target.

After solving the opponent in front of him, this R30 is the task of helping the starting soldiers suppress the firepower of the position.

It was equipped with an 88mm main gun, which played a huge role at this moment. The close-range roll call made it impossible for the firepower on the position to suppress the enemy.

There is no firepower on the position, can this still fight?

The result is naturally impossible. Any army without firepower when defending will make the troops panic. Even the soldiers of the British Empire could not keep morale high enough to fight to the death.

So when he saw that the enemy was about to break through, the position commander could only helplessly issue an order to retreat.

As the retreating defending officers and soldiers retreated, the attacking Romanian officers and soldiers burst into cheers. They took the front line without any pressure.

The R30 crew, who made the most of the position, was checking the damage to the tank. The previous 40mm anti-tank shot made them worry about whether there would be any problems with the tank.

After a brief inspection, it suffered no problems other than the cratered bullet marks on the front of the armor. The other positions are basically the same as here. Accompanied by R30 heavy tanks, the defenders were unable to stop the offensive.

One of the positions, which also had a newly developed 6-pound (57 mm) anti-tank gun, also failed to penetrate its armor.

The R30 tanks in good condition led the officers and soldiers to occupy the second and third line positions one after another.

So far, the British army's defense in Nagula has ended in failure, and the coastal armored group that has been prepared has driven tanks and armored vehicles all the way westward along the road.
