Romanian Eagle

The ancient Hot Spring Pass has always been the gateway to Greece. Countless aliens who tried to conquer Greece were defeated by the Greeks here, ruining their ambitions to conquer Greece, but there were also successful people. But Thermal Pass has always been a firm hold in the hearts of the Greeks.

The terrain of Hot Springs, with cliffs on one side and the sea on the other, did help the Greeks resist countless enemies. But in modern times, with the retreat of the coastline, there is now a kilometer of land outside Wenquan Pass. However, it still cannot prevent it from becoming a strategic location in Greece.

And today, the battle of life and death in Greece is once again unfolding here.

"Enemy tanks, prepare to fire."

The roar of the officer drew Malaka's attention. He was operating a 40mm anti-tank gun (British: two-pounder anti-tank gun) that had been acquired less than three days ago, and was aiming at an incoming Romanian tank.

This tank he has seen in the identification map is called the R20 medium tank. The main feature is its sloping armor and a huge gun mantlet that can fully function as the frontal armor of the turret. It is said that the tank weighs more than 30 tons, and the frontal armor is very thick. He is not confident that the 40mm anti-tank gun in his hand can penetrate its armor. Because he heard that in Poland, the 37mm anti-tank guns it is equipped with cannot penetrate its equipment.

It's just that there is only this kind of anti-tank gun in the army at present. I heard that it was urgently transported from Egypt. I heard that hundreds of them were shipped at that time, but they were intercepted by the Romanian Navy and lost a lot. When they were delivered to Greece, only a few dozen were left. I heard that this is the latest anti-tank gun of the British army, hoping to block the Romanians' tanks.

And the troops they were sent to guard Wenquan Pass were divided into more than 50 gates. It can be said to be quite refreshing.

Can you be happy, now the Greek troops are basically annihilated in the Battle of Thessaly. At present, there are less than 250,000 troops under the control of the Greek military. After deducting the defenders of the islands and the troops in Epirus, there are only about 100,000 troops under the control of the Greek government, including Crete. garrison.

Therefore, the Greek government also has high hopes for the Hot Springs Pass.

It’s just that the British and French sides are not optimistic about this. They are already persuading the Greek government to take advantage of the time to evacuate to Crete (currently the Romanian fleet is mainly intercepting British transport ships off the coast of Crete, and the inland sea Crete The island was not intercepted because of the plane).

But these have nothing to do with Malaka, who is in charge of commanding the 40mm anti-tank gun. Now and he can't control it. Now, for him, destroying the tank in front of him and keeping the position are the most important things.

He and his team were well hidden, and the thick bushes hid them well with the anti-tank gun. The Romanians' planes and shelling failed to find themselves, but many comrades in arms were not so lucky, and they lost a lot of money for various reasons.

Malaka couldn't manage all of these, and now he was waiting for the R20 tank in front of him to show its side, or get closer to him.

"Come closer, closer."

Malaka lay on the ground and kept talking, as if the parents were waiting for the children who were playing outside to return.

As if his words had magic power, the R20 drove up the gentle slope again, and the strong horsepower drove the tracks to slowly press forward through the power wheels.

Seeing that the R20 tank has approached more than 200 meters, even the silhouette of its observation hole can be seen. Malaka felt that this was the best chance,

Immediately give an order. "Prepare!"

He put the cross star on the tank and pulled the roping.

"Bang!"

The 40mm armor-piercing projectile ejected from the muzzle directly hit the front sloping armor plate of the R20 tank. The huge impact force caused a hole in the armor, but the shells with exhausted kinetic energy did not penetrate the armor.

Although the shell failed to penetrate the R20 tank, the huge kinetic energy stopped it.

"good chance!"

Seeing that this R20 tank was parked on the spot, Malaka would naturally not let it go. One cannonball is not enough, so how many?

So taking advantage of the moment when the R20 tank was shut down, Malaka and his team exerted their greatest potential and fired nearly 30 shells in just two minutes. So many shells dinged the R20 tank in front of him, but none of the shells penetrated its armor.

This result made Malaka's face very ugly. When he saw that the tank that was constantly being attacked began to rumble again, he secretly thought that it was not good. Now the recovered tank will definitely find a target to attack itself, and because of the continuous shooting of gunpowder, it cannot disperse for a long time. Isn't it an obvious target here?

Seeing that the tank's turret had turned around, Malaka knew that it was impossible to do, and hurriedly shouted. "Run!" After saying that, he rushed out.

"boom!"

The 40mm anti-tank gun was destroyed by the grenade from the millimeter main gun, and the Maraca, who ran first, survived. It's just that although he ran fast, the R20 tank that had been on top of it was unwilling to give up. He saw the sound of a car-mounted machine gun, and Malaka didn't know anything in the dark.

The situation at Wenquanguan was similar. Relying on its own armor and air superiority, the Romanian army made the defending Greek army extremely uncomfortable.

The 1st Armored Division of the Panzer Army and the 54th Motorized Division are the elite troops of Romania. Its equipped tanks and self-propelled artillery are also a lot.

Wenquan Pass is not as dangerous as it is in ancient times, and it is as dangerous as ancient times, but due to the coordination of ground and air and the impact of modernization, its terrain advantages have been greatly reduced.

In the face of this situation, General Hippoc, as the commander of the garrison, felt that the battle situation was very difficult. The reason is very simple. He lacks air defense and anti-armor means, and there is no good way to do this. Relying on the soldiers to resist the enemy's attack will seriously damage their morale.

When it comes to anti-tank means, Hippoc is full of anger. The 40mm anti-tank sent by the British was completely incapable of equipping it with the R20 tank, except that it could penetrate the Romanians' R10 tank frontally at medium and close range.

An officer came to report before that several anti-tank guns fired almost all their shells against an R20 tank.

At present, the tank has become the demon of the soldier's mind. Wherever such a tank appears, the soldier's combat awareness will drop rapidly. Because they have no countermeasures against this, they can only use the most primitive manpower blasting method.

It's just that this method is too demoralizing and will make the Greek defenders even more demoralized. It's a vicious circle, Hippoc knows it, but what can he do?

He lacks everything, and can't give him anything, which makes him only use the lives of soldiers to consume the enemy, but he only has less than 20,000 officers and soldiers in his hands, how many people are willing to face this situation calmly?

He didn't know, really didn't know.
