The dense shells were like flying locusts, and they bombarded the tanks of the security regiment heavily.
The Leopard tank weighs more than 30 tons, and the Tiger tank weighs more than 50 tons. Both tanks have very thick armor.
Especially the armor thickness of the Tiger tank, the frontal armor of the front of the car body is 102 mm thick, and the gun mantlet armor directly in front is 135 to 150 mm thick. This kind of armor thickness can be called the only iron wall at that time.
With the defensive capabilities of Tiger and Leopard tanks, generally small and medium-caliber artillery may not be able to destroy tanks. The 105mm artillery is so powerful that it is not a problem to destroy tanks.
Hearing the screeching sound of incoming shells, the security regiment and the Sichuan Army quickly dispersed behind, and the officers and soldiers sought shelter nearby.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Cannonballs exploded everywhere, and each shell fell into a big hole, within a hundred meters, it was within the killing range of the shells.
Shrapnel and shock waves raged around the explosion point, and the tanks of the security regiment not far away were also damaged.
"Quick, dodge, watch out for artillery fire!"
Li Hong loudly reminded the machine gunners on the other tanks, and everyone shrank back into the tank compartment.
Although the 105mm did not directly hit the tank of the security regiment, the strong shock wave and the kinetic energy of the explosion caused the tank to shake violently.
As soon as the shell exploded, it was a large piece, and a large amount of mud and sand splashed on the tank.
Fortunately, Li Hong and the others escaped in time, otherwise the shrapnel and shock wave would have killed them.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The 105mm artillery shells bombarded continuously, and countless shrapnel "clinked" splashed on the Tiger and Leopard tanks.
Because the Panther and Nurse tanks are too large, this also creates a larger attack surface for the tanks.
The two tanks were attacked by artillery shells, and the body was "depressed" in several parts by the sputtering of shrapnel. The tracks, axles, and turrets of the tanks suffered varying degrees of damage.
If you think that the Tiger and Leopard tanks are just huge and powerful artillery to frighten people, then it is a big mistake. The defensive capabilities of these two tanks can be so strong that people doubt life.
From the appearance point of view, the two damaged tanks are almost beyond recognition. If they were replaced by ordinary tanks, they would have lost their maneuverability long ago. I am afraid that even the crew members in the tanks would be difficult to survive.
Although the tanks were badly damaged on the outside, the insides of these tanks were surprisingly intact.
Not only that, but the damaged tank was still able to run normally on the ground, and none of the occupants in the tank was killed, only a few people were slightly injured.
The reason why German tanks have super defensive power is because they used the best nickel alloy steel armor that could be produced during World War II at that time. The armor was made of cold-rolled forging technology, and the armor density was 6% higher than that of traditional cast steel. , the strength properties are very stable.
This kind of defensive armor undoubtedly puts a layer of "protective clothing" on the tank that is very resistant to beatings.
Li Hong huddled in the tank safe and sound, even though the devil's shells raged, he did not have the slightest fear.
If it was outside, without the protection of tanks, and was killed by 105mm shells, it would have died several times.
Li Hong finally understood why the Tiger and Leopard tanks were able to sweep the Allies, because the armor defense of the tanks was too abnormal. These tanks deserved to be called the kings of land warfare!
Considering that some tanks were damaged, Li Hong immediately ordered the driver to return.
Soon, a Tiger tank and a Leopard tank slowed down, and the two drivers turned the tanks back to Nanguan County.
The artillerymen of the security regiment in the distance saw that the tanks of the security regiment in front were blocked by artillery fire and the attack was blocked. Immediately, the artillerymen quickly replaced them with smoke bombs.
"Quick, quick, smoke bombs are ready!"
"Tom tom tom!"
Dozens of mortars fired together, and a row of smoke bombs flew near the forward positions of the 5th Brigade.
A large cloud of smoke bombs fell on the ground, and thick smoke rose up, quickly forming smoke walls more than ten meters high.

Chapter 358 The enemy can never succeed!
Since the smoke screen blocked the sight, the Devil Artillery's eyes seemed to be covered with a cloth, and the accuracy of the shells fired was significantly reduced.
Although the sight of the Devil Artillery was blocked, the Devil Commander did not order to stop the shelling.
The devil commander also knew that firing like this was a waste of shells, so the devil artillery fired at a rough range.
Gradually, the devil became much weaker.
The chariot of the security regiment cleared the way in front, and the officers and soldiers of the two battalions followed behind the chariot. The troops of the Sichuan Army assisted in the attack and supported it.
Just when the security regiment and the Sichuan army were pressing up across the board, the third battalion of the Japanese 68th Regiment quietly moved over, trying to stab the Chinese army from the flank.
"Artillery attack, machine gun suppression, infantry charge forward!"
"Give me the duck and chicken!"
More than 1000 little devils suddenly launched an attack from the flanks of the security regiment and the Sichuan army.
"Tom tom tom!"
"Tu Tu Tu!"
The sound of guns and guns rang out fiercely.
With the 79th Regiment of the Sichuan Army on the flanks, the surprise attack of the Little Devils' Third Battalion would never succeed.
The enemy's bullets and artillery shells attacked the Sichuan Army troops overwhelmingly, bullets flew everywhere, and shells bloomed everywhere.
The officers and soldiers of the 79th regiment were caught off guard, and the third brigade of the little devils was taken aback. In the blink of an eye, more than 100 officers and soldiers were killed or injured.
"Tuan Zuo, Tuan Zao, Tuan Zao!"
Several officers of the battalion and company of the 79th regiment bent over and moved quickly to avoid the surrounding artillery fire and bullets. They hurried to the head of the 79th regiment.
The head of the 79th Regiment of the Sichuan Army was killed in the previous battle. Now the head of the 79th Regiment is held by the original deputy head Xu Shengli.
A Sichuan army major with mud on his face was the first to report, "Regiment, the little devils have launched an attack on our flank. The enemy's firepower and offensive are fierce. The second battalion is building a line of defense to fight the devils. The second battalion has already suffered a hundred casualties. brother!"
"Old man Ge, the bastard sons of the Japanese army!" Xu Shengli cursed a few times angrily, and hurriedly asked the major next to him, "How many little devils are there?"
The major of the Sichuan Army replied, "Reporting to the group, there is an approximate number of devils."
After hearing what his subordinates said, Xu Shengli shook his body, took off his hat and threw it on the ground, carrying a Czech machine gun, showing a brave and fearless aura.
"The little devil must not be allowed to break through from the flank. The first battalion will stay behind to reinforce the security regiment's flank, and the third battalion and the guard platoon will go with me to support the second battalion!"
Holding a machine gun, Xu Shengli rushed to the front and personally led the troops to intercept the little devil's attacking troops.
"Da da da!"
