Are you ready? Our feast is about to begin, and I don’t want to be late.” Lieutenant Colonel Becker, the battalion commander of the 502 Heavy Tank Battalion, asked his three company commanders next to his car.

"We have no problem, but some auxiliary troops may have to wait for a while. General Guderian has assigned us some support firepower. I have reflected it to the above according to your wishes, but failed." Company Commander Carlyus made a helpless expression.

"Okay, give them another hour. Tonight we must set out. We must arrive in the Agen area tomorrow morning and then defeat the Americans' forward troops. We are different from the 511 Armored Division. Their combat position is not far from the defense line, which is more like an attack defense. And we have to go deep into the opponent's confidants and beat them into a mess! If those slow guys can't catch up, we won't wait for them, bring our supplies and repair cars and take a step first." Lieutenant Colonel Becker said without hesitation. Perhaps the steel giant behind him gave him enough confidence, which made him a little unscrupulous in his choices.

"Okay, let's go!" The subordinates cheered and rushed towards their chariots. They were the pride of the German army, the ultimate manifestation of the German army's strength, the blade of the empire, and the most powerful knights under His Majesty the Emperor. They urgently need to prove their abilities on the battlefield. The initial small test of the edge did not satisfy these people. What they needed was a war, using hundreds of wreckage to prove themselves!

At the same time, just as the 502 Tank Battalion was sharpening its swords, the US troops under General Patton also began to accelerate towards Toulouse. Sitting in the command car, Patton cursed the British while listening to the staff's report. In this war that was about the final destination of southern France, the British did not send large-scale army operations! This was simply unbearable! Of course, Patton would never admit that fighting with the British would be more secure. After all, the quality of the British troops was higher than that of the American soldiers. Although their supplies were not as good as that of the US troops.

"General, do you want to read the information about the new German tanks sent by France?" an officer handed over a document from the side and said.

"It looks like a big guy. boys." Patton said after pressing the half-pile of the cigar on his lips. "Can our Type 29 tank destroy them?" Patton said after a rough look. In his opinion, the problem that the Type 29 tank destroyer can solve is not a problem.

"It seems that it's very difficult. At least in the battle between the French and the Germans, no Tiger tank was destroyed, not even side-destroying. Of course, it may be because the combat time is short and the number is small. However, the opponent seems to be able to penetrate the 29 tank at a distance of 800 meters." The staff officer said.

"800 meters distance? Okay. Let everyone pay attention. In addition, tell the young men of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion that they have a new mission." General Patton did not comment on this information. After all, there are many wrong things on the battlefield, let alone miscalculation. He actually did not believe this result. After all, in the previous battle, the performance of the Type 29 tank destroyer was perfect. In addition to having no turrets! What made Patton fearless was that the US Army Equipment Department was still prepared. China sent news about the Tiger tank before the war started. This time, according to Patton's words, the corrupt officials and capitalists in the Equipment Department finally did a personnel job. They equipped the troops with a new 90mml50 anti-aircraft artillery. In terms of performance, it is stronger than the 90mml45 of the Type 29 tank. Therefore, Patton was not worried about these steel monsters.

"In addition, the troops must arrive in the Agen area before 10 a.m. Then we began to build a defensive position. I hope the Marine Division 1 will not let me down. Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't do it well. Anyway, there is a First Cavalry Division, we can help them finish it. Write everything I said and send it to that little guy Turner." Patton's heart was filled with a sense of pride and spoof. There was no Pacific battlefield on this plane, so it would be impossible for the First Marine Division to find self-esteem in the Japanese. Although they are logically independent of the army, the situation is

Continuously changing, when the Germans pointed at Toulouse, the American senior management took the 1st Marine Division under Patton without saying a word. Although they lacked enough heavy equipment, the division had many motor vehicles and had no mobility. Therefore, as a forward, this cannot be said that Patton was doing it with the idea of ​​letting the 1st Marine Division be cannon fodder, because in the initial estimate, the Americans believed that Germany would not appear so far away, and the mission was just to rush to this area and then build a starting position, and did not say that they could directly attack Toulouse. Although Major General Turner might have this idea in his mind.

So, under the arrangement of fate, the two troops began to assemble to the Ajang area. One was the armored division of the US military, while the other was just a dissatisfied heavy-armed battalion with a huge difference in strength. If someone could stand in the sky and see through the dark night, he could see a large army of yellow painted rushing from west to east to the battlefield like a giant dragon, while the other army of black and gray painted scattered was much smaller, like a small but sharp dagger. When the sun rose to the sky, it was when the two sides met! What surprised Lieutenant Colonel Becker was that before his reconnaissance car could send back the news, the Air Force's reconnaissance plane had already informed him that there was a US army that was accelerating the attack not far from him!

"Very good, the other party obviously didn't notice us, so let's give him a meeting gift." Becker looked at the map and made a plan. On the opponent's must-pass path, Becker designed an L-shaped encirclement, blocked the front and attacked the side. He took advantage of the chaos and succeeded, mainly destroying the opponent's heavy equipment and supplies, and then quickly evacuated to find the next target. Their mission is to sluggish and consume the opponent, rather than relying on a fixed defense line for defense. After all, the 502 heavy tank battalion lacks infantry and support firepower.

Turner didn't know that he had been remembered by a tiger. Just as he had seen the signposts leading to the Agen area. When he was about to enter this area, the gun barrels stretched out from the woods next to him had aimed at the convoy of several kilometers. The strong bodies of these steel tigers were hidden under the green trees. The sunlight shone irregular spots under the woods. The thick and long gun barrels aimed at the troops moving slowly in the distance. The huge tanks stretched out their sharp teeth and sharp teeth like tigers waiting for an opportunity to capture prey!

"First hit the tank. Then hit the truck and fire freely!" With the order issued, the 88mml56 tank gun of the Tiger tank jumped suddenly, and then a ball of orange flame spurted out of the gun mouth. The huge energy brought out a large amount of dust. An armor-piercing bomb flew out of the barrel at a speed of about 900 meters! In less than 2 seconds, a ball of smoke rose from the dense convoy in the distance. Then a harsh explosion sounded, "But! The starter hit the 1400-meter start, this is a good result!" The driver said excitedly after looking at the ruins in the distance! This was a good start! "I was actually aiming at the tank next to me, not the infantry fighting vehicle..." The somewhat embarrassed gunner muttered in a low voice.

The dense formation and lack of defense made the attack extremely smooth. More than 30 tiger tanks lined up in a row and used powerful 88mm heavy artillery to easily kill the targets 1 kilometer away. A series of gunfires sounded, making it impossible to tell how many people there were on the other side. Amid the explosions one after another, the U.S. military tanks turned into piles of ruins. If you look from the air, people can find that in just a few minutes.

In the meantime, the convoys destroyed along the traffic line formed shocking dark spots! Under the crazy attacks of the Germans, the Americans lost more than 200 vehicles of various types in a very short time, and what was even more frightening was the losses of personnel! Many American soldiers had not had time to jump off the vehicle, and they turned into a pile of debris with the chariot. The little blood and fire and the burnt meat in the wreckage told everyone that there was a living person here! The entire battlefield instantly turned into hell!

However, after all, the formation of the First Division of the Land War was still very long, and only part of the attack was attacked. While the tigers were hunting wild boars, the wild boars were also preparing to counterattack. Major General Turner immediately took out one of his fist armored battalions, which was a Sherman tank battalion. It had 75 equipped with 76mm long-barrel cannons and 75mm short cannons, and there was also an m10 tank destroyer battalion. In terms of quantity, it could also be up to three digits, but in terms of quality, it was really worse than the tigers hiding behind the shade of trees!

"Their tanks are circumventing us from the right wing, so that the flanks and reserves should be paid attention to, and do not expose our flanks!" A heavy tank battalion is an independent combat group. They not only have tiger tanks, but also various auxiliary vehicles, such as reconnaissance vehicles, such as armored repair vehicles and independent baggage units. When the group of round American tanks were preparing to come out from the roadside, they were already discovered by the reconnaissance vehicles deployed in front. An armored force of battalion-level size definitely needs some preparation, especially from marching to combat states.

In the transformation, tanks drove down from the road under the command of officers, and then prepared to assemble and arrange the attack order in platoons. At the same time, they sent reconnaissance troops to investigate. These reconnaissance troops clashed with German armored vehicles deployed on the periphery. The Americans' 37mm guns were indeed a little less powerful. Although there were a lot of radio equipment on the vehicle, it was useless to be invisible. During the shooting process with weasels and weasel infantry fighting vehicles, the reconnaissance vehicles equipped with 37mm guns were overturned by people hit by 50mm guns and 75mm short guns on the opposite side.

"The enemy in front of us has been almost cleared. Are we evacuating?" Looking at the US military convoy that had turned into a sea of ​​fire in the scope, a company commander asked Becker on the channel.

"No, let's kill that American armored force first before leaving. Otherwise, our retreat will not be stable." Becker rejected the deployment proposal in just a few seconds. Their mission is to consume and delay the opponent. In a defensive state, the advantage of the Tiger tank can be several times more effective with the help of terrain and defensive advantages. And if you withdraw from the battlefield rashly, who can guarantee that you will not be chased by this American armored force? Instead of doing so, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to solve the opponent.

"Guys, we need to prove our value in a regular tank battle! We go deep alone and have no support! We must defeat all the opponents in front of us." In the end, Becker focused his defense on the US armored troops surrounding the flanks. Sherman tanks painted in yellow and green are ready to go. A group of Sherman tanks with box-like bodies and round big heads appeared in the scope, pounced on the lion group like a group of wild wolves!

The Americans didn't know what kind of opponent they were facing behind the woods, but they knew very well that all they needed to do was to lean on and bump into the opponent in as short as possible, because no matter who the opponent was, the Sherman tanks did not have the advantage. Sher's short 75 guns can be said to be far inferior to the German 75mml48 guns. Although the long 76 is powerful enough, it is too small. And there is no advantage in armor protection. (Okay, Dumbo has not appeared in this plane yet.) Since it cannot be beaten from a long distance, you can only fight in close combat.

"Boys, you are the most tragic tank soldiers in the world, because compared with all opponents and friendly forces, your tank performance is the secondiest!" The tankers participating in the battle clearly remembered that they entered the first class in the army. This was what the instructor told them. "Then why don't we use the 29-type tank of China? A friend of mine is in the army's tank unit." A young man stood up and said. "Because they are from the army, and we are the Marines!" The instructor's answer after a moment of silence made the recruits in the audience speechless!

"Fire, fire as far as possible!" German tankers bravely fired from a long distance according to the requirements of the exercise script. Inspired by the captured British tanks, they set up a stimulus machine gun next to the main gun of the Tiger tank. The machine gun and the cannon were rigidly connected to determine the distance and indicator of the target by firing tracer bombs, and the time and cost of the stimulus were reduced by simulating the ballistics. Soon, the Americans found that a tracer bounced out of the trees and fell from time to time and shot a flurry of smoke. This was the opponent's stimulus. Soon the real thunder attack was about to arrive. Although the Americans did not know when the Germans learned this, they knew the principle of this stimulus. At this moment, their hearts were raised to their throats, and they prayed that they were not the victim of the other party's first wave of shooting!
