Chapter 724: Golan Trench

"Landmines!" Zhang Chi ordered to the walkie-talkie.

Soon, a group of soldiers rushed out of the trenches and trotted all the way to the part of the anti-tank trenches where the collapsed anti-tank trenches were filled with landmines.

Of course, these mines include anti-infantry mines and anti-tank lightnings.

These mines are very convenient to set up, and soon the gap in the anti-tank trench became a minefield.

This was not enough. The soldiers rode the German tanks before they even came up and laid several machine guns and rocket launchers in the craters around the gap.

Perhaps because the Chinese team was discovering that the Chinese team was replenishing their defense, the German tank group accelerated their advancement speed, and while advancing, they also used tank guns and machine guns to shoot towards the Chinese team.

But all this is just a scare. Tank guns are flat-fired cannons, and machine gun bullets are also in a straight line. These things are difficult to hit targets hiding in trenches. Expeditionary soldiers have seen the world, and they don’t even blink in front of these bullets and shells.

After a while, the German tanks approached the anti-tank trench, and the speed of the tank group quickly slowed down.

Obviously, the German tank soldiers discovered that because the artillery was not strong before, the anti-tank trenches were not flattened as they thought, or that only some parts of the area were flattened.

Usually at this time, the German army should send engineers or engineers modified with tanks to flatten these anti-tank trenches or open a road, but the Germans knew that doing so was time-consuming and difficult.

So a minute later, they wanted to try it, that is, sending several tanks to try the water.

Five No. 3 tanks were sent out.

It should be said that this choice is correct. Tank No. 3, as a light tank, originally performed reconnaissance missions, and this tank is also lighter in weight and is easier to cross from the anti-tank trench.

But the German army's attempt was soon vain.

Just as the No. 3 tank approached the anti-tank trenches, a fire of artillery suddenly came from the defense line of the Chinese team. Mortar shells rushed towards the German tank group one by one, and a piece of smoke and dust exploded on the battlefield in an instant.

However, this was just diverting the German army's attention and blocking their sight. At this time, more than ten rocket launchers appeared behind the dunes of the anti-tank trench. Only a unique roar of "chubby" rockets were heard. Three of the five No. 3 tanks that came up were immediately shot and smoked. As soon as the remaining two stopped and rushed towards the dunes frantically.

But the tank is always very fragile at this time... Its perception of the outside world is very slow. The rocket launcher of the Expeditionary Force can calmly change positions and then suddenly appear and fire rockets at the target.

So with two "boom" sounds, all five No. 3 tanks were beaten into a pile of scrap iron.

At this time, Heinz Blue Road realized that this anti-tank trench was not as simple as he thought, and it seemed to be somewhat different from ordinary anti-tank trenches. The exact location was different... Heinz Blue Road looked at it carefully and found that this anti-tank trench was low in front and high in the back, which allowed the enemy to hide behind the raised sand dunes behind blocking the tank.

Heinz Landao has seen it right this time. The anti-tank trench built by Zhang Chi is indeed not an ordinary anti-tank trench. This anti-tank trench is called the "Goran trench".

The reason why it is called the "Golan Trench" is because it was an anti-tank trench excavated by the Israeli army in the Golan Heights to block the Syrian Armored Brigade during the Fourth Middle East War in 1973.

The Israeli army, whose troops and equipment are absolutely weak, blocked the Syrian armored brigade equipped with 800 T62 by relying on this seemingly simple but well-known "Golan Trench".

In ordinary anti-tank trenches, the excavated soil is piled on both sides, so the heights on both sides are the same, which cannot provide any cover for one's own side.

The difference between the "Golan Trench" is that it piles all the excavated soil on the side facing it, so a slope will bulge high above it... The important thing is this slope, for example, this slope is used by the Expeditionary Army Bazooka shooter as a cover to attack the enemy.

Of course, Heinz Bluedao would not admit defeat, so he waved his hand and sent several No. 4 tanks on it.

This time the German army became smarter. While the No. 4 tank was on the way, the other tanks aimed the muzzle at the earth slope behind the anti-tank trench. Then there were shells and bullets, which only made the bazooka shooter unable to emerge at all.

Several of the soldiers took advantage of the cover of artillery fire to launch several rockets, but the effect was not ideal.

The reason is that the hasty launch under the pressure of the enemy's firepower is not very accurate. Another is as mentioned before, the No. 4 tank is equipped with gap armor, which can greatly reduce the armor-piercing ability of the rocket metal jet. Therefore, although the No. 4 tank was shot, it was only slightly injured.

But the next scene surprised everyone. When the tracks of the No. 4 tank were rumbling and collapsed by artillery fire, they didn't look deep in the anti-tank trench, one after another was stuck inside, and the cab could not break free without twisting left and right or stepping on the accelerator.

This is one of the advantages of "Golan Fu".

It will give people a visual illusion that the tank is enough to cross a trench of such a height, but the reality is that the tank will only get stuck in it and cannot extricate itself when it drives up.

The reason is that the "Golan Trench" is low in front and high in the back. The trench does not look deep, but the tanks must climb higher earth slopes. What's more important is... The trench is actually very deep, with its original depth of seven or eight meters, and some even reach nine meters. It was just that it was blown up by artillery fire and put on new soil.

But as we all know, the new soil is not compacted, but the tank is very heavy. As soon as it rolls up, the tank's head is pressed down on the new soil and sinks. Then no matter how it twists, it cannot escape. Even because the new soil is still desert soil, the deeper the tank is when it recharges the accelerator, it almost swallows up the tank like artificial sand.

Heinz Landao was shocked when he saw this and quickly ordered: "Hurry! Drag them back!"

Towing a tank may be possible, just like if a person falls into quicksand, he can also use external forces to solve the problem through ropes.

It’s a pity that this is a battlefield, a battlefield where enemies are always staring at you and giving you a fatal blow...
