The most classic tank of World War II war stories: a tiger destroyed the United Kingdom's hope _ shangwu
6 June 1944, Hitler hate to see it finally happened-the Allied landing in Normandy, was already in the German army East line up more in two fronts. A few days later, the Allied forces on the beach has established stable beachhead, began gradually to landlocked developing in depth. Kaang Allied primary objective is a small one but Normandie transportation hub of the town but the allies attack kaang mainly by the following forces: front left for England 3, central to Canada 3, right Division is British 51 and 50 teachers; otherwise the British 7th armoured Division play circuitous task, from the right side after 175, road towards kaang users. To 13 June the British advance troops 22nd armoured brigade has entered the wave card base village, around to a German armored teach instructors side behind the German army to compensate for its huge gaps left defense, rescue, armored teach instructors command of SS 101 heavily armored battalion relieving it. The camp to prepare for 45 vehicles "Tiger" tank, 6 "Leopard"-rescue cars and other vehicles, 124 car full of 1037 officers. June 7, they shall depart from the camp, but because of the railway system being allied air raids destroyed, 200 km away all on your own camp. However, the Allied forces of the "Storm"-to-ground attack plane did not give up on the team of "Mindfulness", all the way to the camp suffered heavy bombardment, has arrived in the front half of the number of vehicles were destroyed. 13 in the morning, a vanguard rush Germany ran back report: "the United Kingdom who have reached the front village, distance less than 2000 m here!" the German Michel. vaitman Lieutenant (101 camp advance even Commander) is sleeping next to the tank. On hearing the news, he is a little surprise: "United Kingdom action so quickly!" said, he has to stand up, "Hough ringer, put your 231, tank lend me. Bobby, I when the Gunners. We went to confirm. "231, the tank is the advance even in conditions of the best" Tiger "tank, vaitman own car because of the air filter is spring break, also in repair. The "go!" vaitman a loud cry, "Tiger" tank roared drove away from the path through the forest. Ahead is the wave of card-based village, nearly three-British troops had entered the village, the usual, nobody noticed the 30 km away from kaang little farm, available from this day onwards, ordinary wave card base village fame, became the armored warfare classic war stories. The British army of the 22nd armoured brigade now through A continuous wave village arrived on the East side of the small Habitat-213 highs, b company is stopped at the village on the road to xitou build-up and inaugurated in 1 M5A1 light tanks and 14 cars "Cromwell" is the village, there are also four reconnaissance cars and 20 M21 half track trucks and 1 door 57-mm antitank gun (i.e. British army 6 lb cannon). Vaitman can not understand these things, he passed the village of wheat fields directly insert 175, highway, Department of the British Legion wedge fleet. After entering the highway, his vision was broadened, and can also be started. Originally from his recent British reconnaissance vehicle is at its right 15 metres (just as Bush, who have found each other), and 200 m on the left side, a few tanks of the muzzle is on his tank. The British also surprised they didn't think of this neighborhood has the German armored units. It is frightening "Tiger" tank. We still stunned, vaitman first reaction inadequate here: reconnaissance vehicle for fear, first of all to get rid of a threat on the left side of the tank. Thus, the "Tiger" type quickly turn left, turret go faster, Bobby not aiming with feeling played 1 episode 88 mm artillery shells. Twinkling of an eye, the British head M5A1 was bruised and powder from which "Cromwell" tank seems to be no loading, just quietly staring with muzzle aggro "Tiger" type. 88 gun "Boom-Boom-Boom" for several Cannon, 3 "Cromwell" eyes "were closed. British Legion Department staff Captain Adams sitting in the last 1 "Cromwell", he made rapid back tank, hiding in the ruins of the roadside. Vaitman found a British tank escape, but don't know it's hiding in the vicinity, he continued, is passing by Captain Adams, Adams in front of the tank did not respond, watch the "Tiger" type weak side armor from his side, has lost its best chance to fight back, of course also perfected vaitman continue to hit an amazing record. Vaitman acceleration to Western, he was afraid of those United Kingdom reconnaissance vehicle Chase over on infantry, as in street fighting, tanks from infantry who picked not cheap. May when he travelled to the street corner to find a team of British tanks being in front of 150 metres along the docks, where there are "long nose" in fireflies "tanks". The "Tiger" type of armor can care "Cromwell" 75 mm short barrel main gun, but the "Firefly" 76 mm long barrel gun so distance breakdown his chariot is easy. "U-turn u-turn!!" vaitman hoarse cry, "Tiger" type drag at 56 tons of heavy body turn away. Just then, a "fluorescent insects" 76 mm artillery shells hit the left side of the turret, fortunately, launched into angle is too small to be played. Vaitman sweat, he knew this much delay 1 seconds, there will be deadly dangerous, because someone can easily catch up with him, his "Tiger" type simply run however "fluorescent insects." Beat, vaitman tanks had just turned Adams driving "Cromwell" from hiding-place to drill out a hit on top of both sides. Are almost at the same time to fire shoujiyankuai. However, Adams, unfortunately, his artillery only in "Tiger" type of defensive shield a shallow pit, own tanks were played a big hole, Adams though not dead, but he was too stiff limbs earthquake, he staggered out of the "ride", ran to the street. Vaitman continue East to withdraw, he considered more British forces behind and in front of the tanks may have a large number of an ambush, perhaps there are infantry anti-tank gun. The moment is to quickly return the other tanks, come say hi. So he let "Tiger" type from a gap opened up the road, going fromBritish Army reconnaissance vehicle, anti-tank guns, half track car beside the dumbest into ashes, 175, highway a frightening war cemetery. Vaitman clears the forces on the highway, and discovered the high ground at 213 A strip of the British army. A link of course also found on the nuggets, but do not know the enemy's fire. They simply muzzle on the highway, continue to commit to and sacrifice of Veterans the same error. Vaitman is a not halves, he went to the East by the wheat field, A company of all tank side also clearly exposed in his muzzle, "fluorescent insects," "Sherman" and "Cromwell" front armour was enough to resist the "Tiger" type of 88 mm gun (even in the 1500 meters distance), but not to a distance of 250 metres, and A link to that branch (open of Highland), vaitman in the dark (bushes of wheat). The following scene having to describe, the result is a totals 23 the tanks destroyed in this. At this point, the wave card base village East has no British forces effective resistance. Vaitman decided not to return to the resident, he killed a second-to continue to attack the British army in the village of b company. He walked along the 175, walked along the highway, is he just manufacture of iron and steel wreck, but at this point, he had no time to recall all of this, because the front of the village are lurking on the knife. Sure enough, when vaitman in 213 highs authority, Adams has been walking back B even accidentally saw him, and he jokingly: "Captain, did you just not taught by the ' tiger ' tank?" and "**! inaugurated has been playing out, quickly notice A link, be careful. "Communication soldiers rush radio call in 1999, A company, but no audio. British forces which began to realize the seriousness and immediately begin deployment. In order to not "Tiger" type conflict, which took place in front of highway building space provides anti-tank guns, while the "Firefly" and "Cromwell" are entered into the residual wall clock on the wall so subtle, so also to the side of the tank attack Germany vaitman driving less than 200 meters, the battalion was calling him: "231 cars, we have entered the village support you, please join the fleet. "The German 1 with four" Tiger "type, 2 4 G-tank along with vaitman original road parallel to a street into a 175, highway, and the other 2" Tiger "type from the side of the roundabout in the village. This forces the apparent reversal occurred, who began to tilt the balance of the German army. But vaitman eyes flashing, a anti-tank artillery shells hit a car first, although the strike was not fatal, but the "Tiger" type is biased towards the roadside, afterwards is "h", the other rounds off its track, vaitman chariot GA however only. From this point on, he withdrew from the actor as the audience. Some German tanks rolled forward, but still some British army tank hid in the corner to laugh at one stage, because they take revenge of chance came. 132, "Tiger"-style incident just open, 2 "Fluorescent worms" and 1 "Cromwell" gun at the risk of a fire, 3 rounds will be the "Tiger" play dead, 131, "Tiger" type and rushed from the partner side, their units in the past that 132, car was destroyed, its drive shell is sealed off the enemy's fire, but they didn't expect, ahead a few door anti-tank guns. As a result, 131, turrets were playing fly more than ten meters, over the subsequent "Tiger" type and no. 4 tank are destroyed at the village center. On the evening of the battle, both sides deadlocked the remaining tank gradually withdraw from the battlefield, only infantry and lost chariot of tankmen alleyways contest. At this point, the United Kingdom's 12 "Storm"-fighters arrived to the small village to the ground. 13 June battle of wave village, the British total losses 27 tanks and other combat vehicles, these vaitman one package, but the remaining tank of the German army in none of the results of the full amount of the destroyed. 1. wave card base village fighting process there are several versions, here is the German (vaitman) one of the most encouraging. 2. because us M4 "Mr. Kalman" tank of 75 mm short barrel guns inadequate (in the face of the "Tiger" and "Leopard" is almost useless), British army to 17 pounds of anti-tank guns mounted "Mr. Kalman". This comes with a 76 mm long Cannon's "Mr. Kalman" tanks were known as "Mr. Sherman Firefly ShermanFirefly" tank, here I'll call it the "Firefly" tanks. British forces to each tank platoon (5) equipment a "fireflies". US troops in Normandy, even the "Firefly", can only rely on their own anti-tank guns M10, also good German armored forces almost all concentrated in the British army is facing. 3. the data show that the British Army days lost 20 "Cromwell", 4 "Mr. Kalman" (all is equipped with 75 mm/17 pounds of long gun "Firefly" version), 3 14 "Stuart," a 14-track vehicles and vehicles "Hebron"-style truck. 4. Montgomery on the 7th Armored Division of the United Kingdom to high expectations, because it's fighting veteran, is?? Just mentioned it in a column when expanded in wave card base village and "Tiger" tank of fierce battle losses. In fact, he hoped that paragraph 7 Armored Division in the German fortifications opened a gap, direct plug in the back of the German weak at that time, but the fact of desert warfare experience on the trail in small bushes and hedges of fighting useless. United Kingdom 2 commanders Dempsey in post-war comments this battle much more directly: "the 7th Armored Division was lyingIts past glory, entire (wave card base village) is a disgrace to the fighting. " When Division in July and August the "racetrack" and "Goodwood" and "Blue Coat", and so the battle over and let him down, he was 44 years 3 August the Division Commander Erskine, architect armored artillery commander, the Commander to withdraw together, also including the Division belongs 30 junjun long Buckner. Today of routinely, wave village battle should not appear such dramatic results. We carefully analyze, should draw on the lessons learned. First of all from the British perspective: 1, vaitman cycling into the village, the British army is no consciousness. At that time its inaugurated reconnaissance vehicle distance "Tiger" type only 15 metres, even awed the tank of a force, it shall immediately send infantry track their whereabouts. Taking a step back, you can quickly notify b company by radio to halt; 2, Adams Captain driving inaugurated the first of four "Cromwell" escape, did not grasping the "Tiger" type first chance and attack their side armor, but also in the "Tiger" has just opened after quickly rushed out of the same road attack their weak. To "Cromwell" Agile maneuverability, from this position to win the heavy "Tiger" type not difficult. He is relying on a plane again, wait until vaitman turn before heading for shelter, and "Tiger" type hit right war, not self miserable; 3, British b company found the "Tiger" type, even if the result of unknown enemy or avoid hand-to-hand fighting without pursuit, should promptly inform A u-turn, even to become trapped. At that time A, B two even have become separated, one notices the threat is battlefield most basic common sense. Again from the German point of view: 1, Mr. Mortman was shot before the performance is excellent, the judgment is also very reasonable. But he is hit, you can determine the British in the village set up ambush, but did not warn peer circumvent or bypass attack. If all the "Tiger" tank to 213 high ground, with its powerful long-range fire and heavy frontal armor, no loss to block British Bologna village, why risk street fighting? 2, vaitman fought in the battle. But he seems to have forgotten the purpose of entering the village is reconnaissance, should promptly notify this to the enemy. If the German support even paragraph 1, taking advantage of the early British army late meal, maybe you can eliminate all the British army in the village. Just imagine, if vaitman beat Elvis was half-way destroyed, its this part on it not wave village situation or know anything about it. Wave card base village battle stories is to become a good textbook armored warfare, not only because of its fighting process orders military fans ecstatic, but more importantly it enables people to profoundly.
