Chapter 190: PAK Thirty-Five Anti-tank Gun Launches

Historically, the Soviet Union sent T-26 tanks to participate in the Spanish Civil War. This type of tank can easily penetrate various German and Italian tanks when confronted head-on on the battlefield.
After all, at the time, Germany only had the No. 1 tank as its main force. This tank was also designed based on the "Vickers" tank. However, the No. 1 tank was powered by a machine gun and was absolutely not compatible with a 45mm tank. Compared to the gun’s T-26!
The firepower of the T-26 is not only much higher than that of the No. I, but also surpasses the No. II, reaching or even exceeding the level of 38t and the early No. III. Fighting against such tanks is quite a disadvantage.
The first attack of the Italian army was thus repelled. The T-26 established itself on the battlefield with an easy victory. If this tank retreats like this, it will be an absolute Victory.
Unfortunately, facing the one-sided battle, the Soviet fighters were obviously also very excited. They continued to drive their tanks, wanting to take this opportunity to break through the opponent's position.
"Hold up, all withstand!" Seeing the noodle army retreat one after another, Jose, the commander of the New Central Army, yelled at his troops.
Originally, he thought that victory was in sight, so he came to observe and personally direct the battle. However, seeing the noodle army retreating one after another, he knew that if this continued, the retreat would turn into a complete failure.
This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate. It can be seen that hundreds of Italians are retreating, and now, if his Central Army also retreats, then General Franco, who is in a rage, will definitely take him Dismissed!
No refund, no refund!
Jose stood on the ground, holding his pistol: "Supervisor team, if anyone retreats, kill him immediately! Anti-tank gun, get me ready!"
Anti-tank gun! Jose is still confident that he can persist until now. Just a few days ago, through his good relationship with Cyric, he finally obtained a batch of anti-tank guns for his Central Army!
The number is small, only 20, it is the latest PAK35 37mm anti-tank gun shipped from Germany!
This anti-tank gun was quite famous throughout World War II. Germany produced more than 20,000 guns and was the main anti-tank equipment of the German army in World War II.
The biggest feature of this gun is its lightness. As a light gun, its total combat weight is only 432kg. The gun runs on two large wheels equipped with pneumatic tires. Even if it is not towed by a car, it only depends on the manpower of the gunner's team to operate the gun. It is not too much effort.
Now, the anti-tank guns have been quickly pushed up. As soldiers of the National Army, their fighting will is stronger than the Italians.
On the opposite side, the tank was rumbling on the ground. Obviously, the Soviet tank soldiers were planning to push back the enemy on the opposite side.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated. They didn't know that without the company of infantry, a tank would take a great risk to break through the enemy's formation.
Moreover, one of the biggest shortcomings of the T-26 tank is that its protection is too weak. Although it has a 45 mm artillery, it is enough to lead this era, but its armor is only 15 mm!
Now, stimulated by the victory just now, the Soviet tankers wanted to rely on a few of their tanks to completely defeat the enemy!
Opening the gun door and squeezing a 37 mm shell, the Spanish gunners barely suppressed their inner tension. They watched the opposite tank getting closer, and then pulled the gun cord severely.
"Boom!" The lightweight anti-tank gun even bounced at this moment. At the same time, the 37mm shell flew to the opposite side!
Did not hit!
The tank on the opposite side is still moving up rumblingly!
How to do? How to do?
Keep loading!
They hurriedly continued to reload the shells. If it were not for the supervising team behind, they would definitely have to run away too!
The second shell was stuffed into the barrel, and then the gunner aimed at the tank in front again. At this time, the opponent had rushed to a distance of 150 meters!
"Boom!" The anti-tank gun continued to roar. At such a close distance, it almost shot the past anti-tank gun directly, and it was impossible to miss!
The body of the T-26 that came up on the head shuddered suddenly, and then there was a loud bang.
At the junction of the turret and the car body, flames came out with black smoke, and the ammunition inside exploded! Then, the turret separated from the car body and was thrown aside.
It succeeded!
Seeing that the fierce T-26 was destroyed, the gunners of the anti-tank gun were greatly encouraged and were no longer afraid. They continued to reload and shoot!
The battle went on very quickly. One minute later, the T-26 tanks on the opposite side retreated. They left three burning tanks and retreated.
"Victory, victory!" The soldier of the anti-tank gun couldn't help shouting loudly.
Victory?
Seeing everything on the battlefield, Jose was not happy anyway.
Your own side is offensive! As a result, the enemy did not break the position. Is this a victory?
At most, it's a draw, but it's easy to explain, the reason for the failure is the retreat of these Italians!
That night, Franco called an emergency military meeting.
"The progress of our battle is really not smooth. We must be fast to conquer Madrid at all costs!" Franco said. Originally, the goal he set for the Central Army was to seize the Garden Home Park today. Tomorrow, cross the Manzanares River and occupy the university city within a week.
But now, among other things, the Central Army Corps alone is too disappointing!
"The main reason is that our friendly forces are too weak." Jose said: "As soon as the Soviet tanks came up, they retreated."
Jose’s words instantly made the Italian generals present blush ~EbookFREE.me~ Before they said anything, Franco said: "José, what are you talking about? Don't give your own failures. Excuse me, you idiot!"
Franco was actually angry? Get angry at yourself? In an instant, Jose felt full of grievance. It was because the Italians were too weak?
"It's us. We didn't expect that there would be a tank unit in Madrid." General Mora said: "The firepower of the T-26 tank is too fierce.
General Mora's words made everyone feel the same. Today, I was beaten by a small tank like the Soviets! If there is a German Panther 2 tank, it will definitely reduce the frontal pressure. Those who feel the pressure will become the opposite international column!
German friend? Jose suddenly reacted. The Italians were also friends and came to help. Franco would never say that they were weak in combat. Otherwise, what should they do if they lead the team?
Therefore, we can only push the responsibility to our own side!
Damn it, these noodle army, with 50% of the combat effectiveness of the Condor Legion, would not be as good as it is today! Jose sighed with emotion.
