    Chapter 1240 Encounter on a narrow road (Part 2) The very long beam in the warehouse was shaking. The frequency of shaking was consistent with the frequency of nearby shell explosions. Obviously, the vibration of the ground caused the beam to shake.  (Niu Wen Novel ~ Online Reading Novel) Raising his head and looking at the beam above his head, Captain Otto Julius was a little worried that the wooden beam would break and then fall down and fall on his head.  On the forehead, or on his tank.  This was originally a warehouse used to store wool and sheepskins and belonged to a fur merchant in the town of Nastarus. However, since the outbreak of the war, this warehouse was used as the owner's residence for a short time.  It was completely empty. Like other merchants, this fur merchant from Nastarus Town vacated the warehouse in advance because he was worried that his goods would be lost in the war. Even the merchant's family also moved to Ankara.  And Ankara is not the final destination. The businessman planned to go to Greece, but before leaving the town, the businessman happily handed over the key to the warehouse to the local Turkish garrison. After that, the Turkish garrison was ordered to retreat, and the key to the warehouse was  It was handed over to the German Army who took over the defense, and now, the key to this warehouse is in Captain Julius's uniform pocket.  With this very spacious warehouse, Captain Julius was able to hide the "King Tiger" heavy tank he commanded here, but it was not to avoid the bombardment of the squadron.  A warehouse with a mixed wooden structure cannot withstand even a near-missile attack from a howitzer. The reason why Captain Julius wanted to hide the "King Tiger" tank in this warehouse was just to hide his whereabouts.  In order to give the enemy a head-on blow after the heavy tanks of the ** team broke into the town of Nastarus, catching the opponent by surprise and giving full play to the firepower of the "King Tiger".  Of course, there are risks in doing so. As long as the bombardment of the squadron does not stop, those high-explosive bombs will sooner or later hit the roof of the warehouse. In that case, perhaps Captain Julius's "Tiger King"  "It will be buried in the rubble. Although it may not cause fatal damage to the tank, it will also affect the tank's combat effectiveness. Especially the slender tank barrel. If it is deformed by the roof, even if it can continue to shoot, it will  Affects accuracy and power.  Captain Julius's "King Tiger" tank has been equipped with a 105mm tank gun. Therefore, the heavy tank he commands is not only superior in tonnage to the "Wild Boar" heavy tank equipped by the Chinese Army  , and, with this brand-new 105mm tank gun, this "Tiger King" can also compete with the "Wild Boar" in the firepower comparison.  It must be admitted that the German armored forces have the best defensive tanks in the world, as evidenced by the nearly seventy-ton combat weight of the "King Tiger", and the "Wild Boar" heavy tank currently equipped by the Chinese Army.  The total combat weight of the "Tiger King" is far less than that of the "King Tiger". Even the latest improved model has a total combat weight of just fifty tons. The "King Tiger" and the "Wild Boar" are indeed not heavyweight opponents in terms of tonnage.  It is this almost abnormal weight that gives the "King Tiger" super strong defense. The thickness of the armor plate on the front of the car body has reached an eye-popping 150 mm, which is thicker than the "Wild Boar".  "The improved heavy tank is almost 20 percent thicker.  The defensive power of the "King Tiger" is not only strong in theory, but has also been tested in actual combat. Since its appearance on the African battlefield, this German heavy tank has never encountered an opponent, whether it is the American "Xie"  Whether it is a "Man" medium tank or a "Pershing" heavy tank, the front armor plate of the vehicle body cannot withstand the long-range fire of the "King Tiger". Even the old model "King Tiger" equipped with an 88mm tank gun can easily  Penetrate the frontal armor plate of the "Sherman" tank three kilometers away.  As a land monster with a total combat weight of nearly 70 tons, the "King Tiger" heavy tank also has fatal flaws, that is, its poor maneuverability, and its overly heavy body also brings many problems to the engine that are difficult to solve.  The problem is that this kind of heavy tank has a high mechanical failure rate. Compared with the "Wild Boar" heavy tank equipped by the Chinese Army, the "Tiger King" is a war machine that is difficult to serve. It has great combat effectiveness, but if you want to give full play to it,  To ensure its combat effectiveness, it must be provided with the best logistical support and maintenance, and it must also be equipped with the best tank crews.  Captain Otto Julius was a very outstanding German tank driver. In the African battlefield, he used the "Tiger" tank he commanded to destroy at least 150 American and British tanks.  In addition, several cannons and armored vehicles were destroyed. Captain Julius was one of the top tank aces in the German Wehrmacht. His many honors and medals gave him not only glory, but also an arrogance of contempt for all enemies.  However, this arrogance has been compromised since Captain Julius was transferred from the African battlefield to the Asian battlefield. Although the captain has only been in Turkey for a few days, he has already realized thatRealize that the situation on the Turkish battlefield is completely different from that on the East African battlefield. Here, it is difficult for the Axis Forces to gain air superiority. The sky is firmly controlled by the Chinese Air Force, and the German Air Force can only control the short-term control of local battlefields.  Time and air supremacy, then, quickly collapsed in the face of the Chinese Air Force's technological superiority, and ultimately could only rely on penetration tactics to provide limited air support to the German Army.  Without the sky, the German Army's tanks, no matter how good they are, can only become targets for the Chinese Air Force and the Asian Alliance Army Air Force. In the southern Russian grasslands and on the southern line of the Caucasus, a large number of German heavy tanks were destroyed by the Chinese Air Force, and there was no time to even find them.  to the opportunity to face off against Chinese tanks.  But today, for Captain Julius, this is a good opportunity to compete head-on with Chinese heavy tanks. The terrain conditions in Nastarus Town are not conducive to the Chinese Air Force's use of firepower, but it is convenient for the German army to block Chinese ground troops here.  , Therefore, Captain Julius insisted that today may be his harvest season again, and the "Tiger King" will eat all those "wild boars" without leaving a single one. And this seems to be in line with the laws of nature, the weak eat the strong.  Thick armor and powerful artillery alone are not enough to give Captain Julius such confidence. Good tactical arrangements are also indispensable. Today, the battle plan formulated by the headquarters is to "lure the enemy deep" and push the enemy deeper.  Chinese tanks lured into the town, and then attacked from all sides to wipe out the enemy forces. They were not afraid that the Chinese tanks would not come because this was the only eastern passage to the railway bridge.  In order to suppress the attack of Chinese tanks, the commander deliberately concealed his strength. In the contest with Chinese medium tanks, the German army only dispatched six "King Tigers", but in fact, in the town of Nastarus, the German army had a total of  It has nine "King Tigers", six additional "Panthers", and some assault guns. In the outpost battle an hour ago, the German army used three "King Tigers" and six "Panthers"  They all hid, and from that moment on, Captain Julius commanded his "Tiger King" to hide in this warehouse, waiting for orders from his superiors.  These "King Tigers" are all tanks of the 501st Heavy Tank Battalion of the German Wehrmacht. Captain Julius is also a commander of the 501st Heavy Tank Battalion. In fact, he is the company commander and ambushed in Nastalu.  All nine "Tiger Kings" in Si Town are under his command.  Originally, the 501st Heavy Tank Battalion was fighting in the south, but when the railway bridge across the Kezel River was occupied by Chinese paratroopers, the battalion received orders and traveled through the stars and nights to the northern battlefield to support the infantry troops in retaking the bridge.  , most of the tanks of the 501st Heavy Tank Battalion were engaged in the attack on the bridgehead, and Captain Julius was ordered to command a heavy tank reinforcement company to rush to the town of Nastarus to assist an SS unit in holding it.  , to prevent the Asian Alliance reinforcements from reinforcing the paratroopers at the bridgehead, and the original task of the SS unit was to destroy the roads along the way, but because the Chinese tank troops advanced too fast, they completed this task very poorly.  Captain Julius led his heavy tank company to the town of Nastarus only at noon today. Before he could take a breath, the Chinese tank column rushed to the east of Nastarus. Its marching speed was faster than  To the expectations of all German commanders, it was obvious that the Chinese Army was very determined to seize the railway bridge. Of course, the German army was equally determined to defend Nastarus.  Today¡¯s tank battle is destined to be a collision of wills, and it is also a contest between ace and ace.  At five o'clock in the afternoon, Captain Julius finally received the order from his superiors. He very calmly issued an attack order to all the hiding German tanks through the radio. Moreover, while issuing the order, the "Tiger" under his command  "Wang" finally rushed out of the warehouse and appeared on the street.  At this time, the Chinese artillery bombardment had stopped, but the tank battle also began immediately.  The first thing that appeared in Captain Julius's commander's sight was a Chinese Army "Wild Boar". That Chinese heavy tank was obviously the first tank to rush into the town. Its role was not so much an assault.  , rather it was used to test the German firepower. Therefore, as soon as it rushed into the town, this "Wild Boar" heavy tank ran rampant, not only dodging the attack of the anti-tank gun, but also dodging the attack of the rocket launcher. It was completely a  He adopted a defiant posture, and fired smoke grenades from the smoke grenade launcher on the turret while charging, trying to use the smoke screen to cover the charge. At the same time, the turret was still rotating, firing randomly without stopping at all, and fired at all high-rise buildings.  Because German snipers or anti-tank rocket launchers are usually ambushed there, and high-rise buildings are often used to place observation posts.  "Armor-piercing projectiles are readyfire." Captain Julius quickly gave his first firing order, and the experienced gunner accurately hit the vehicle with only one shot without even realizing it was coming from him.  The side armor plate of the "King Tiger" Chinese heavy tank rushing up from the other side of the street.After piercing the armor plate, the "Wild Boar" tank immediately slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road. However, the turret was still rotating and quickly pointed in the direction of the bullet in the armor plate of the body.  With one shot, the shells flew towards the front of the "King Tiger" commanded by Captain Julius at high speed.  ??Obviously, Chinese tankers are also experienced, and they can confirm the exact location of enemy tanks at the first time.
