Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
If you ask the German Army what troops are the most fascinating, some people may say that it is an armored force that strikes hard; some people may say that it is an armored grenadier who fought a thousand miles in a day; and some people will think that the ruthless and unpredictable sniper win Hands.
Even if someone thinks of the unknown infantry and the artillery, it is absolutely unexpected that in the German infantry division, there is such a group of people, they use their own unknown to support the sky of the German infantry.
Unlike other countries that have a large number of infantry tanks scattered among the infantry units, German tanks from the 3rd to the leopard to the tiger are all tailored for the centralized use of armored forces. These tanks have never been distributed to the infantry units. , Because the German commanders thought it was a waste.
Therefore, Germany's ordinary infantry units have always been World War I infantry lacking armor cover. They can only rely on guns in their palms. It is the armored self-propelled artillery unit directly under the infantry division that changes this state.
In the process of developing the No. 3 tank, Germany encountered technical difficulties in lightweighting the artillery. Before and after 1923, there was no way to install the short tube 75 mm caliber cannon that Akado liked on the No. 3 tank, and the No. 3 with the turret The weight of the tank exceeds the standard, which cannot meet the weight requirements of the German tank in the "New Versailles Peace Treaty" of the British and German.
So the No. 3 assault gun came into being. This armored self-propelled artillery has no turret and does not need to shoot from the side, so it can withstand greater artillery recoil and has a low profile. It was equipped with the world ’s largest caliber 75 mm caliber tank gun at the time and was fully capable of supporting infantry operations. The "frontline support artillery" role. This new, improved tank with no turrets and a cheap No. 3 tank site was named the No. 3 assault gun by the head of state. In fact, it was also the first "tank" of large-scale equipment in the era of the National Defense Forces, replacing the No. 2 tank in one fell swoop and becoming the backbone of the National Defense Forces armored force.
But with the service of the No. 3 tank, this cheap assault gun without a turret was gradually phased out by the armored forces, but who could think that the leopard tanks became the new darling of the German armored forces, and the output of the No. 3 tank gradually declined, or Close to discontinuation of production, but the older 3rd assault artillery renewed its vitality in the infantry.
Facts have proved that this assault gun can fully meet the task of covering infantry and providing close-range artillery support. With the continuous advancement of time, this low-profile, low-power, old-fashioned equipment has become a favorite weapon for infantry commanders because it is cheap and cheap, has rapid production technology, and is reliable and durable.
Of course, the original 75mm caliber short-barreled artillery has been updated to a long-barreled 75mm caliber cannon. The original infantry support weapon has gradually developed into a multi-functional fire support platform. On a par.
Under the control of elite assault artillery members of the infantry, this weapon became a deadly killer, causing the enemy of the German infantry to pay a heavy price.
There is a famous saying in each team: "New recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of light machine guns." What is said is that although the shelling is fierce, the light machine gun positions that are hidden and moving at any time are more deadly threats. The British veterans after the real battle with the Germans found that the No. 3 assault gun, which is more common than the German tank and armored forces, was the more headache-prone role.
At this moment, behind a pile of debris, one lifted all the armored baffles above, leaking out the side of the third assault gun of the entire combat cabin. The captain was standing on the engine hatch and watching with a telescope. distance.
The assault gun just hit a shell with a high elevation angle and hit the British attack area about two kilometers away. The company commander on the radio defending that direction is reporting the results of the bombardment.
"Hit the target! The enemy's infantry was repulsed." There was news of the front line defenders in the headset: "The second shell hit the crowd attacked by the other party. About 20 people of the enemy were killed in a beautiful fight. "
"Amend it by another 5 meters! The next shell will hit the corner of the building. The next time it is estimated to be able to kill a big fish." Looking at the black smoke rising after the shelling with the telescope, the captain faced the foot. The gunner commanded loudly.
After he finished the order, he adjusted the channel and said to the infantry company on the front line: "Call company commander Kyle, the next time the other side attacks the corner, you give a signal and we fire!"
"It's no problem!" The other party said with a smile on the headset: "If you don't mind, you can shoot now!"
"Open fire!" The captain lowered his telescope and ordered aloud. "Boom!" The chariot at the foot shook backwards, and the long-bodied 75-mm cannon fired shells again. The smoke raised caused the captain to frown, reaching for the dust in front of his face, then facing the car Spit under the mouth.
Then he picked up the telescope again and looked at the target in the distance. Sure enough, a thick black smoke was raised at his intended location, and half of the building on the side collapsed, sending out a rumbling giant. Loud, more dust and smoke rose at the point where the shell fell, and it looked spectacular.
"Pretty! Good shot!" In the headphones, the German commander on the front line uttered an admiration, accompanied by the roar of a machine gun. The front line seemed to be very fierce. The frequency of shooting support from them As you can feel, the British seem to be fighting the power of feeding.
"Hey! Lard!" A dozen grenadiers with various weapons passed by the ruins, and the dust on them made them look a little sloppy. The Germans stopped in front of the assault gun, and a platoon leader headed up the rubble pile and shouted to the captain standing on the car: "Is there smoke? Give me two ..."
"Going to the front line? Didn't you just pull it down?" The captain who called Lalde put down his telescope and asked with a frown.
"No way, there was a problem with the third company over there. The camp reserve team went to the front, and we were the only ones left. Who wouldn't go?" The platoon leader headed smiled bitterly and pointed to his back. 'S staff: "If these people can come back, you can't help but give you smoke!"
"OK!" The captain nodded his head, throwing most of his pack of cigarettes to the young platoon leader, and replied loudly: "If you don't have it, come and ask. If you come, I will give more!"
"Luck luck! I heard that the British attacked there fiercely. There weren't many people left in the three consecutive fights." The long line took the cigarette with a smile, shook it to the captain in his hand, and then He drew one out of his mouth and waved his hand: "Goodbye!"
It's not just that there are not many people left. When the young platoon leader rushed to the position with a cigarette, he didn't know how bad it was. The 120-person company, 60 of whom are still alive, are not there. The bodies of hundreds of British soldiers are lying in front of the position, and there are still two m3 tanks destroyed.
On a machine gun position not far away, a g42 machine gun was shooting at a British machine gun position a hundred meters away. A tracer was swept in a straight line on the chest wall where the soil was piled up, and black mud was scattered.
"Sergeant! What about your company commander? I'm instructed to bring someone to support him!" He asked a grenadier who was shooting at the British in a crater.
"What are you talking about? Louder! My ears were damaged by shells! I can't hear clearly!" The other party shouted loudly.
"I! Ask you! What about your company commander?" The platoon leader continued to ask aloud.
"Behind! Did the collapsed villa see? There is a crater over there!" The corporal replied loudly as he continued to fire with his g43.
"Wells! You stay with someone to help! Cook! Keep up with me!" The young platoon leader shouted loudly, then jumped out of the crater and ran over to the position where the 3 consecutive companies were, and Behind him, Cook, who didn't run a few steps, was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground without any movement.
Running to the edge of the crater, the young platoon leader jumped into the pit with a sliding shovel, and then held his helmet with his hand, shouting loudly: "3 consecutive parts?"
"Yes!" A second lieutenant commander replied loudly: "I asked for three times of reinforcements, and finally sent you alone?"
"My people have already fought back over there. Who said I am alone? Cook? Cook ..." The young platoon leader shouted back, then leaned out of his head and looked at the direction he was running. The body fell to the ground.
He retracted his head and said regretfully to the company commanders around him: "I brought 13 people over and now there are 12 left."
"In a moment you bring 5 people to the left! The machine gun position over there is destroyed, and they need help." The company commander pointed to a smoky position not far away and said aloud: "A few Minutes ago, they were hit by British artillery! "
"No problem! I'll take care of it! But you better think about it!" The young platoon leader at the front of the position raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you are the one on the opposite side?"
Following his gaze, the company commander of the 3rd company saw a British tank approaching under the cover of infantry. It was not a huge number of American-made m3 tanks, but a British behemoth, heavily armored Matilda tank.
"Anti-tank driver! Ready to fight!" 3 consecutive companies shouted loudly: "British tanks! Be careful! Machine gun team ... shift position!"
"It's not easy to go without an armored force in front." The young platoon sighed, grabbed his mp-44 assault rifle, and said with a wry smile: "Don't call for support? Dealing with this is not that simple."
"You have come, it is already very good." The company commander of the 3rd company said with a smile: "Although it is not paid attention to, but our infantry still has its own pride!"
