仔细看了一下,Loza的书里没有提到端部连接器,自己在网上找也没有发现。 有关那一章的描述是这样的,由于泥泞,德军的据点没有提防侧面的攻击。在能见度恶劣的情况下,6辆谢尔曼坦克迂回到德军据点侧面,在正面两辆谢尔曼的牵制下,成功突袭了德军。 Units of the 156th Tank Regiment, 45th Mechanized Brigade, were proceeding along an improved dirt road that passed through Zhazhkov, Tynovka, and Lysyanka.1 They were seven hundred to eight hundred meters short of Tynovka. The going was tough. The tanks of Lieutenant Gevorg Chobanyan were attacking straight ahead. The commander soon came to realize that a frontal attack against this enemy strongpoint would entail significant losses. Enemy antitank guns were firing. They had good fields of fire, particularly along the road. The enemy believed that the road was the only avenue of approach and had sited his weapons accordingly. The muzzle flash of a shot appeared from the area of a hay-stack. The track flew off one of the Shermans on the left flank of the combat formation. Chobanyan realized that its commander had not detected the origin of the enemy antitank round. Seconds mean everything in combat. The more so in a tank engagement. It would require priceless time to orient his subordinate in this situation. Traversing his turret ever so slightly, the company commander silenced the haystack with his main gun. A high-explosive round found its mark on the enemy gun and its crew. Had the weather been good, and not slushy, the tankers could have easily negotiated this terrain. They had long ago developed a tactical drill: withdraw somewhat, then bypass the enemy resistance, and attack it on the flank or rear. It was standard procedure. But here the conditions were not so easy. Despite the difficulty, they accomplished the mission. And Chobanyan took a risk. It was completely justified. This aspect of the technical capability of the Sherman had somehow been forgotten. Under the pressure of events, however, he remembered. Just before the battle, during movement, the Emcha had demonstrated its traffic-ability in muddy terrain. This was a direct reflection of the ground pressure of the M4A2.[2] Gevorg Avakovich decided to take advantage of the relative lightness of the Shermans and to defeat the enemy's fire in Tynovka with fewer losses. The weather had deteriorated even more, worsening the visibility toward the enemy. It was an opportune moment for carrying out Chobanyan's plan. 老哈的Sherman那本——这个俺不知道是啥,直接告俺结果吧。 [此贴子已经被作者于2013-7-13 19:10:48编辑过] |
