MTL - Jagged Germany-Chapter 1725 Rout (ask for a monthly ticket)

   "Boom!"

  A 'King Tiger' heavy tank aimed at an M26 heavy tank a kilometer away. After the gunner pressed the launch button, the shell flew out of the barrel with a roar under the action of huge kinetic energy.

   A little more than a second later, the armor-piercing projectile roared and hit the turret of the M26 heavy tank. The front armor of the turret was easily penetrated and an explosion occurred. The entire turret was blown away in the explosion.

   "Good job, keep going!" Commander ordered.

  The tank continues to move forward while looking for the next target.

"when!"

  Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the German heavy tank 'King Tiger' shook violently. The faces of the German armored soldiers inside the tank turned pale. Even they are ready to face death. After all, although a tank has thick armor, it is essentially no different from a moving iron coffin. Once the armor is penetrated by the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the enemy, the armored soldiers inside are completely close to death. Not only armor fragments will kill them, but ammunition may also explode.

   It's just that the armored soldiers in this King Tiger tank had much better luck.

  The thick frontal armor of the "King Tiger" heavy tank withstood the 90mm armor-piercing projectile. The shell only left a small dent in the front armor of the tank before being bounced off.

   Compared with vertical armor, inclined armor is less likely to be penetrated

   "We have not been penetrated, we have not been penetrated!" The gunner cheered ecstatically.

   "Haha, you've survived a catastrophe! Keep going!" The commander also ordered with a smile on his face.

   It was no doubt that they were very grateful that they were not penetrated and their lives were recovered.

   "Damn! It didn't penetrate, how is this possible? Are German tank armors that tough?" The attacking American tank was also stunned. They clearly hit the target, but failed to penetrate it, which is really surprising.

   "Asshole, reload immediately, and shoot again. I don't believe that it is still impossible to penetrate the armor of the German tank!" The US tank commander ordered.

   But they have no chance. After the "King Tiger" tank of the German army was hit, it immediately spotted the enemy and opened fire first.

   "Boom!"

  A 105mm armor-piercing projectile hit the M26 tank. The armor-piercing projectile penetrated the armor of the M26 tank, and the armor fragments killed the US armored soldiers inside.

  The U.S. armored forces were deeply powerless in the face of the German "King Tiger" heavy tanks. At longer distances, their tank guns simply couldn't penetrate the frontal armor of the German "King Tiger" tank, let alone destroy it. However, the 105mm tank gun of the German "King Tiger" heavy tank can easily destroy their tanks. Whether it is an M26 heavy tank or an M5 light tank. Neither the frontal armor nor the side armor can resist it.

  Under the fierce attack of the German tanks, the losses of the US armored forces became greater and greater.

  Especially after the German "Tiger" tanks and "Black Panther" tanks also joined the battle, the armored units of the U.S. Fifth Army were even more vulnerable. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, and the targets that followed the tanks and armored vehicles were also in the position of being slaughtered by the German army. Under such an attack, the armored forces of the US military could not bear it at all!

   Not to mention, there are German gunships overhead. These armed helicopters seized the opportunity and continuously shot and killed the US tanks with rockets, causing the casualties of the US armored forces to continue to rise.

   "God! The Germans have too many tanks, they are too powerful, we are no match for them at all!" an armored soldier said with a sad face. He has been frightened by the German tanks.

   "Run away! If you don't escape, it will be too late. Once the German tanks catch up, we will all die!"

  The sequelae of the US military's first battle broke out. When the war is unfavorable and the losses are heavy. What the American soldiers thought was not to fight to the death without retreating, but to run for their lives immediately and save their own lives.

  Many American tanks and armored vehicles turned around on the battlefield and wanted to escape from the battlefield. However, this makes them face a more dangerous situation. A large number of tanks exposed the sides and rear to the German tanks. The German tanks seized this opportunity and fired wildly, blowing up all the American tanks.

  After suffering greater losses, the US armored forces completely collapsed.

  The German armored forces continued to attack, trying their best to eat up all the armored forces of the US Fifth Army.

"General, the Armored Forces are finished. The 5th Armored Division, the 41st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 42nd Mechanized Infantry Division all suffered heavy losses. Our tanks and armored vehicles were severely damaged by the German onslaught. The 5th Armored Division lost The tanks are over sixty per cent. Now, the Germans are in pursuit," an officer reported to Lieutenant General Lucian Truscott.

   Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott's face suddenly became very ugly, although he had expected it before, knowing that their armored forces might not be able to fight against the elite armored forces of the German army. But he didn't expect that they would lose so quickly. Even if it barely resisted the attack of the German armored forces, it would be good if it persisted until the follow-up reinforcements arrived!

  However, the armored forces of the US military were defeated so quickly and so miserably.

"General, what should we do now? The armored forces are hopeless. The German offensive is very fierce, and the frontline positions are constantly being broken through. We are in Topsfield, and I am afraid we will not be able to sustain it at all." A said the general.

  In the beginning, everyone hoped that the armored forces could help them break out of the siege, but now, not only did the armored forces fail to play any role, but they also involved themselves. Such a result is undoubtedly devastating to the US Fifth Army.

   "Retreat, immediately evacuate Topsfield." Lieutenant General Lucien Truscott ordered. He knew that Topsfield couldn't hold it anymore, and if he persisted, he would only take them all in. Therefore, retreating now is undoubtedly the best choice.

   "Yes, General."

  The U.S. defenders in Topsfield withdrew immediately, but they were scrambling to retreat, and no one wanted to stay to stop the German army and buy time for the main force to withdraw.

   This directly led to the retreat of the U.S. 5th Army turning into a rout. The German 8th Army took advantage of the situation and launched a pursuit, annihilating the main force of the U.S. 5th Army.
