You were tasked with guarding the Sihang Warehouse, and you brought out a Tiger tank?

"If a direct confrontation doesn't work, then we'll use our numerical advantage."

"Although that tank had thick armor, there was only one of it."

"As long as we spread out our formation, flank it from both sides, and charge in to attack its sides and rear, it's doomed."

Thinking of this, he climbed out of the hatch again, sticking half his body out.

Because only his command vehicle had a radio, while the ordinary tanks did not, he had to use flag signals to direct this complex tactical deployment.

Major Mizuki waved red and white flags with both hands, signaling to the tanks on the left and right flanks to "spread out formation" and "flank from both sides".

"Spread out, form a horizontal line, and surround it!"

He waved it vigorously, even feeling as if he were a general commanding thousands of troops.

Little did they know, it was two kilometers away.

Inside the turret of Tiger tank No. 213.

Train commander Xu Rui looked at the figure waving a flag like a clown in the train commander's sights and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"2000 meters? You really think I can't hit you at that distance?"

For a typical train crew, hitting a target at 2km in a stationary situation might be difficult, but the Tiger crew No. 213 was no ordinary crew either!

"Loader, high-explosive rounds."

"Gunner, that Japanese soldier waving the flag is too conspicuous. Send him on his way."

"clear."

The gunner slightly rotated the elevation mechanism, using the lower crossbar of the triangular sight to steadily pinpoint the top of the small black dot still waving a flag in the distance.

The 88mm KwK 36 L/56 tank gun has an initial velocity of 820 m/s when firing high-explosive shells, and the shells retain velocity well, resulting in a fairly flat trajectory.

"boom!"

The cannon muzzle whipped up dust from the ground.

The first shell whistled out.

In the distance, a little over two seconds later, a shell whistled past Major Mizuki's head.

"Too high." Xu Rui calmly reported the correction amount, "Reduce it by one mil."

Major Mizuki was startled, his movements froze, and then he burst into laughter: "Haha, they missed! They can't hit anything from this far away. Keep going!"

He waved the flag again, trying to speed up the deployment.

Inside the Tiger tank, the gunner gently turned the elevation mechanism half a turn.

The loader took the high-explosive shells with green projectiles from the ammunition rack and inserted them into the breech.

"Loading complete!"

"Fire!"

"boom!"

The second shell took more than two seconds to travel a distance of two kilometers.

This time, there were no deviations.

The 88mm high-explosive shell struck Major Mizuki directly in the upper body.

"Bang!"

It's like a balloon filled with red paint being smashed by a sledgehammer.

Major Mizuki didn't even have time to scream before his entire upper body vanished instantly, turning into a cloud of crimson blood mist.

The two small flags that were still waving have now flown away to who knows where.

Only the lower half remained, falling limply back into the car, startling the driver who screamed in terror.

This scene left all the Japanese train crews present completely stunned.

"Major Mizuki... he's shattered?!"

"Two kilometers?! One shot wiped them all out?!"

"Aaaaaah! A devil! That's a devil!"

Fear spread like a plague, but was soon replaced by a more frenzied hysteria.

"Avenge Major Mizuki!"

"Onboard!"

More than thirty Japanese tanks, as if they had gone mad, floored their accelerators and charged recklessly toward the Tiger tanks on the opposite hill.

Even though they knew that at this distance, their short-barreled 57mm cannons and 37mm mortars were practically useless, not even enough to tickle the monster tank on the other side, they still charged and fired, just to bolster their courage.

Behind them, Japanese cavalry and infantrymen disembarking from trucks pressed forward, attempting to overwhelm the steel monster with sheer numbers.

"Attention all units, open fire at will."

Lin Feng sat in the command vehicle and coldly issued the order.

"Knock knock knock knock—"

On the flanks, Sd.Kfz.222 armored vehicles and several 38(t) light tanks opened fire first.

Although the 20mm autocannon was too far to hit the front of the Type 89 tank, it was a massacre against Japanese cavalry and trucks that tried to flank them.

A dense hail of bullets swept across, turning Japanese cavalrymen and their horses into mincemeat, and exploding trucks, turning their fuel tanks into fireballs.

In the very center, the Tiger tank and four Panzer III Ausf. L tanks became the absolute main characters.

"Armor-piercing round, target, Type 89 directly in front, fire."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

An 88mm main gun and four 50mm long-barreled guns opened fire, targeting the charging Japanese tanks from a distance.

Although the accuracy was lower due to the firing at moving targets, the Japanese tanks were still destroyed one after another under this density of fire.

"when!"

An 88mm armor-piercing shell hit the front of the turret of a Type 89 tank, penetrating it completely. The powerful kinetic energy even caused the turret to fly off like a bottle cap.

"boom!"

A 50mm armor-piercing round severed the tracks of another Type 95 tank, which spun around before being destroyed by follow-up fire.

Some Japanese tanks were hit in the engine and lay down, emitting black smoke. The Japanese soldiers who had just climbed out were mowed down by the coaxial machine gun.

As the distance closed to 1 kilometer, the Japanese counterattack began to become threatening.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Inside the Tiger tank, the crew could clearly hear the sound of shells hitting the armor.

The shrill sound of metal rubbing and colliding violently was enough to make your teeth ache, echoing in the narrow car and making your eardrums ache.

"Report: Frontal armor has been hit, but not penetrated."

"The gun shield has been hit, and the bullet ricochets."

The Japanese 57mm and 37mm shells hit the Tiger's 100mm thick vertical armor, leaving only shallow white marks and sparks, without making any impact whatsoever.

Several Panzer III tanks nearby were also occasionally hit, but fortunately, their 50mm + 20mm additional frontal armor was reliable enough to withstand the damage.

Only one unfortunate Panzer III had its tracks blown off, losing its mobility, but its turret continued to rotate and fire, becoming a fixed firing point.

"Note that the 37mm gun of the Japanese Type 95 rifle poses a threat to armored vehicles."

Lin Feng shouted over the radio, "Armored vehicles, get moving! Don't stop! Fight as you go!"

Several Type 222 armored vehicles immediately began to maneuver in a serpentine pattern, using their speed advantage to evade artillery fire, while simultaneously pounding the Japanese infantry lines with their machine guns.

At this time, two battalions of the 2nd Infantry Regiment had also entered their positions, and Czech light machine guns, rifles and mortars began to fire, blocking the Japanese infantry who were trying to get closer.

-----

The battle lasted a long time.

At this moment, Japanese Sergeant Yamamoto was lying face down in the mud, his face covered in mud, clutching a ten-kilogram explosive charge tightly in his arms.

He stared at the enormous monster ahead, still spewing flames, his eyes filled with madness.

"Five meters...just five meters left!"
