On the afternoon of May 24, 1941, Washington, in front of the second line of defense of the US military.

The German army, which broke through the first line of defense of the US military, began to attack the second line of defense of the US military after a short rest. Millions of elite troops, under the cover of armored forces, advanced towards the second line of defense of the US military.

Before, the German Air Force and artillery had already launched violent bombing and shelling on the second line of defense of the US military. The fortifications that had been built with great difficulty by the US military had become dilapidated under the indiscriminate bombing of the German army. A large number of firepower points were destroyed by the German army, which made the defensive power of this line of defense continue to decline.

However, it was at this time that the US military's counterattack began.

Seven U.S. armored divisions took the lead, and more than 2,000 tanks of various types rushed forward, rolling up smoke and dust all over the sky. Following these 7 armored divisions are the 14 mechanized infantry divisions of the US military. More than a thousand tanks and a large number of armored vehicles formed the second wave of attack troops.

This time, the U.S. military directly dispatched 40% of their armored forces to launch a counterattack, hoping to contain the German attack in one fell swoop.

The German aircraft in the sky immediately reported to the rear after discovering the huge armored group of the US army launching an attack.

The German army, which was attacking the second line of defense of the US military, responded immediately. Both infantry and armored units retreated immediately.

Since the U.S. military has dispatched a large number of armored troops, a large-scale armored duel is inevitable. In order to bring out the advantages of the German army's armor and increase the distance of the battle, it is very necessary. Otherwise, once the distance between the two sides is too close, the performance of the German tanks will not be able to perform. After all, if the combat distance is too close, the advantages of the sighting system, the advantages of armor defense and the performance of tank guns will not be so obvious. In this case, the US armored forces, whose tank performance is at a disadvantage, will take advantage of it.

So, there was a scene on the battlefield where the German armored forces were crazily reversing. And those armored vehicles and infantry who followed the tanks were also retreating rapidly.

The U.S. military on the defense line was stunned, not understanding why this happened.

"God! Why did the Germans retreat? Did we defeat the German attack?" An American soldier asked stupidly.

"Idiot, how is that possible? The Germans almost broke through our defense just now." A veteran cursed. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

"Long live! Long live! Our reinforcements are here." Someone found the armored troops rushing to the battlefield behind them and couldn't help cheering.

Suddenly, more and more people joined in the cheers. That scene was as if the U.S. military had really defeated the German army.

"Go! Speed ??up, the Germans are fleeing, catch up with them, and kill them all!"

The armored soldiers of the U.S. Army seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, and became more confident. They drove the tanks and rushed to the German armored units that were reversing, trying to intercept the Germans.

Although the German army only dispatched 5 armored divisions and 10 mechanized infantry divisions, the number of tanks was far less than that of the US military. However, the German armored units that were retreating in reverse were methodical and not panicked at all.

The 'Black Panther' tank is at the front, the 'Tiger' tank is in the middle, and the most powerful 'Tiger King' tank is at the back. Because when charging, these "Tiger King" heavy tanks always charge at the forefront because of their rough skin and thick flesh. So, starting to reverse now, they will naturally fall to the rear.

Fortunately, when the tanks of the two sides met, the combat distance between the two sides had been extended to more than 1,200 meters.

Although the speed of the German tanks reversing is far behind the speed of the American tanks charging. The distance between the two sides is also constantly shrinking. However, at this distance, the German tanks can already launch an attack. Whether it is the 105mm tank gun of the "King Tiger" heavy tank or the 88mm tank gun of the "Tiger" tank, it can penetrate the frontal armor of any tank of the US Army.

"Boom! Boom!"

The German "King Tiger" heavy tanks and "Tiger" heavy tanks retreated while firing.

Especially the "King Tiger" heavy tank, the tank gun is equipped with a gun travel stabilization device, which allows the "King Tiger" heavy tank to keep moving without stopping when firing. This undoubtedly greatly accelerated the shooting speed, and at the same time the tank was always in motion, the possibility of being hit was undoubtedly much smaller.

"Boom!"

A US M26 heavy tank was hit by a 105mm armor-piercing projectile, and a large hole was pierced in the front armor. The metal fragments killed the American armored soldiers in the tank in the first time. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

"Boom! Boom!"

The tanks of the US military were constantly being hit, and even ignited a fire, turning into a pile of burning scrap iron.

"Damn it, open fire and kill the German tank!" The US military commanders were very angry. This scene of being pressed and beaten is very annoying.

Although the combat distance between the two sides is constantly approaching, it is relatively difficult for American tanks to hit German tanks. At the same time, the German "King Tiger" heavy tank, which fell to the rear, has thick armor. It is difficult for the 90mm tank gun of the US M26 heavy tank to penetrate it, let alone the 76mm tank gun of the M4 medium tank and the M5 tank. 37mm tank gun for light tanks.

With the destruction of a large number of American military factories, the U.S. military can no longer produce tanks. This makes it impossible to replace the M4 medium tanks, M3Lee medium tanks and M3 light tanks previously equipped by many armored divisions of the US military. In this final showdown, these relatively outdated tanks also entered the battlefield. It's just that even the latest M26 tanks are not the opponents of the German army, let alone these old tanks.

This allows the German army to use advanced tanks to ravage the American tanks in this tank duel.

"Bastard, hurry up and get closer, so that our tank guns can penetrate the German tank armor!" an American officer ordered.

At long distances, they are completely passive. Completely massacred by German tanks, only when they get closer can they have a chance to fight back.

However, during the period of closing the distance, they were slaughtered by German tanks. One tank after another was smashed into scrap iron, and the number of US tanks began to decline continuously. The situation on the battlefield was completely controlled by the German armored forces.
