Boom!
An American M26 heavy tank fired, and a 90mm Tank Cannon shell struck a King Tiger tank. If it had hit the King Tiger tank's frontal armor, stopping the shell would have been no problem at all. But this time, it had been struck in the side.
A fist-sized hole was blasted through the armor. High-speed armor fragments flew inside, killing the crew. Having lost control, the King Tiger tank came to a halt.
"Nice work! Keep firing!" the Tank Commander shouted.
As the distance between the tanks on both sides steadily closed, the American tanks also began posing a major threat to the German tanks. Their side armor in particular was easily penetrated. German tank losses began rising without end.
Of course, overall, American losses still far exceeded those of the German military.
At that moment, the German tank formation changed once more. Large numbers of Panther medium tanks stopped retreating and began encircling from both flanks. Although these Panther medium tanks were no longer the German military's most advanced tanks, their long-barreled 75mm Tank Cannons remained tremendously powerful, enough to penetrate American tanks.
When these Panther medium tanks charged into the battlefield, American tank losses began soaring wildly as well.
This tank duel became even more intense.
At the same time, German commanders also noticed the situation at the front. When the Americans committed a large number of Armored Forces in an attempt to launch a counterattack, the German military responded as well.
Five new Armored Divisions and ten Mechanized Infantry Divisions were ordered into the battlefield as reinforcements. Since the Americans had deployed large Armored Forces in an attempt to counterattack, the German military naturally hoped to seize this opportunity and swallow this American armored force in one bite. That would make the battles to come
