When entering West Germany from the border, the first encounters were the German border guards and armored troops. As a result, the soldiers were dead!
Karl-Heinz-Marshner, with his own tank troops, drove on the highway. In order to speed up, Karl even ordered his "Walter-Empacher" tank group to drive directly. On the road!
The track of the t-72 is a single-pin type, with glue on the ears. This method is definitely not as strong as the double-pin type track in the West. After a period of time, the rubber block on it will fall off. So far, the tank track , it would be good to have half of the glue hanging!
Therefore, driving directly on the road will cause great damage to the road.
At this time, you don't have to worry about it so much! The task of Carl's tank regiment is to go all the way west. On his offensive route, there is such a big target as the headquarters of the Second Hanover Army!
94 t-72 tanks, rumbled, and a long snake array, if there are several Apaches in the sky now, they will suffer a heavy blow!
However, now, there is nothing in the sky, it is extremely quiet, only the roar of tanks advancing!
So, in less than two hours, they attacked Hannover!
Now, a huge tank force has completely surrounded this place, and on the opposite side of them, a dozen Leopard 1 tanks are the main force of the Belgian army.
Looking at the Belgian infantry hiding behind the tank, Colonel Karl had a look of contempt on his face. He pushed the top hatch, got out, raised a loudspeaker, and shouted loudly: "Hello, our compatriots. Listen, we're here to save you!"
"We are all the same nation, the same country, who split us? Let us kill each other? You should all be able to think of it, behind it is the United States!"
"Mr. Günter-Lar has always wanted to promote the reunification of our Germany. This visit to East Germany has taken a firm step. Unfortunately, his plan has not yet been carried out, and it has been controlled by the Americans. Rise up! We are here now, hoping to call on our compatriots to rise up! As long as we are united, Germany will be strong!"
"Listen to the Belgians on the opposite side, Germany, you can't occupy it! You immediately put down your weapons and surrender! We know that you controlled the senior commander of the Second Army. As long as you surrender now, there is still time! If you continue to resist, We can only use force!"
As if to reflect his words, the t-72 tank here, the barrel began to rotate, aiming at the several Leopard 1 tanks in front.
The Leopard 1 tank is a main battle tank developed by the Federal Republic of Germany, produced by the Ordnance Division of Krauss-Maffei Co., Ltd. and Krupp-Mark Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It was delivered to the Federal German Army in September 1965. After that, it also exported more than 300 vehicles to Belgium. It is the main ground tank in Belgium.
It can be said that this tank is still a tank in the 1960s, that is, against the huge t-55, the t-62 cluster has a certain performance advantage. In front of the t-72, there is no chance of survival at all. ad_250_left();
After all, this kind of tank body armor plate is thin, and it can only burst grenade shrapnel. In close combat conditions, it can only prevent weapons with a caliber below 20mm. It can be said that this tank is at best the level of protection of a heavy infantry fighting vehicle.
The turret of this tank is a cast-selected structure, which has a good bulletproof shape, and also has a thin armor and weak protection. Germany is advanced in engines and firepower, and in terms of armor, it is also weak in the Leopard 2 era.
In order to improve the protection capability of the turret, since 1975, the Leopard 1a1 tank turret has added shielding armor. The shielding armor is divided into several pieces, all with rubber linings, which are installed on the shield, on both sides of the turret body and outside the tail frame. The armor protection of the subsequent Leopard 1a2 tanks has been enhanced, and the Leopard 1a3 and Leopard 1a4 tanks have newly designed welded turrets. Heterogeneous turret armor has greatly improved the protection of these tanks, and the turret structure has also been changed.
However, no matter what the turret is, this kind of tank is always unable to resist the blow of the 125mm tank gun of the t-72!
Especially now, the distance between the two sides is less than 500 meters. As long as they open fire, the Leopard 1 tanks here will definitely explode one after another!
It is unknown whether the 105mm tank gun of Leopard 1 can destroy the opposite t-72 tank.
The Belgian soldiers were frightened at this time. They knew that their resistance was futile, and at the same time, they did not know whether they should die in battle.
On this side, Captain Carl did not give the opposite person a chance. Although Captain Carl showed half of his body without any protection, he still arrogantly continued to threaten the opposite side.
"Now, I'll start counting, and at three we'll fire!"
"Onetwo..."
"Surrender, we surrender!" the other side shouted: "Please don't fire!"
A 125mm tank gun can destroy even an American m1 tank. If it hits your own tank, it will definitely destroy your own tank! And the subsequent infantry of one's own side will also be killed!
Behind other people's tank troops, there are also infantry fighting vehicles!
There is no need for the Belgians to be annihilated here!
Historically, little Belgium has performed well in both world wars. During World War I, Germany attacked France. Thinking of Belgium as such a small country, it was leveled after passing by. Unexpectedly, it took more than 2 weeks to pass through Belgium with the strong resistance of the Liege Fortress. Moreover, the Belgians guarded the With the remaining 10% of the territory to the end of the war; during World War II, Germany killed Denmark in 4 hours, and the Netherlands, which was larger than Belgium, surrendered in 4 days, but Belgium fought tenaciously for 18 days before surrendering. After that, the Belgians supported Dunkirk for 24 hours. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the French and British troops to withdraw from the European continent.
Although there are various other explanations, the strong combat effectiveness of the Belgian army is also one of the reasons.
However, when the Second World War ended, the **** nature of the Belgians gradually disappeared. In later generations, the Belgians were even softer. For example, at the United Nations, more than a dozen Belgian peacekeepers scared the Hutu militiamen with machetes. As a result, the Belgian peacekeepers did not dare to go out and immediately pack up and leave.
And now, the Belgians are softballs too. When faced with East German tanks and artillery, they immediately chose to surrender!
