In this era, trains have always been an efficient means of transportation. Relying on railways, trains can quickly transport a large amount of equipment back and forth, which is a major artery.
At the same time, in order to protect the railway, armored trains came into being.
As the name suggests, armored trains are armored trains. This kind of trains are specially built for combat.
Generally speaking, armored trains are used for fire support and independent operations of troops along the railway, and consist of combat trains and base trains.
A general armored train needs an armored steam locomotive, two or more armored carriages or two to four railway flatbed cars for cover. The armored steam locomotive is located between the armored carriages, the coal water truck faces the enemy, and the locomotive is equipped with communication equipment and shooting command equipment.
The most adept at using armored trains is the Soviet Union. The armored trains that shuttle on various fronts have been acting as firefighters on the battlefield.
There are not many armored trains in Poland. The current armored train No. 53 is the elite of the armored trains in Poland.
No. 53, also known as Yongyi, consists of five carriages, two 100mm field guns, two 75mm field guns, 22 machine guns, and 170 Polish officers and soldiers.
And now, after receiving the news that the battle line in the central part of Mokra was loosened and the Germans were about to conquer, the train rumbling over came. Unfortunately, it was still too slow. When it arrived, the cavalry guarding here The group has all disappeared in the woods!
When they heard the sound of this armored train, the German armored grenadiers were suddenly shocked.
The experienced company commander immediately shouted: "Quickly, get down, get down!"
The woods here surround the railway, and you can easily see the railway in the woods not far away!
At this time, the rails were banging, and above, a line of steel monsters rumbling up!
Armored train!
Everyone, at the moment they saw this monster, keenly lay down, and almost at the same time, outside, with a terrible sound of machine guns, they passed through the woods and roared over.
"Da da da!"
The gunfire echoed throughout the woods! At this moment, there were splashes of shattered branches everywhere, and roaring bullets everywhere.
An armored train is a mobile fortress! The armored train does not have to worry about the load, so there are a lot of bullets, food and fresh water on it, enough for the members to persist in it for a long time, and now, facing the German soldiers who have entered the woods, the Polish armored train soldiers are nothing. Polite!
The 7.92mm machine gun bullets rushed into the woods violently, and there were terrible metal storms everywhere!
In the face of such crazy shooting, the only thing the German soldiers could do was to lie down and wait.
Fight back?
The 6.8mm submachine gun in his hand is very good at fighting the Polish cavalry, but it is purely self-defeating to fight the Polish armored train!
This kind of bullet cannot penetrate the armor of an armored train at all! Fighting in the past is in vain!
However, the Polish armored train looks very brave. In fact, it did not bring much casualties. The woods are a good shelter. Those who were hit by bullets were unfortunately hit by stray bullets.
A few casualties are inevitable on the battlefield.
The violent shooting here has already attracted attention from outside.
Tanks and infantry attack in concert, which is already a standard tactic. The infantry protects the tank, and the tank provides fire support to the infantry.
And now, the Polish armored train has actually moved over, so it is time for our own tanks to move!
go ahead!
Wittmann commanded his company. On the side of the woods, he advanced a distance to the south and came to the vicinity of the railway line.
The tank hull was straightened, facing the target with the thickest front armor, and almost at the same time, in Wittmann's sight, he saw the behemoth!
That armored train is coming wheezing!
While it was moving, it fired at the German army in the woods, which made the German army unable to lift its head. At the same time, it had more importantly, it defeated the German armored forces!
If you can't defeat the German armored forces, then you can't hold it here!
For this armored train, its most effective and powerful weapon is the 1oomm field gun!
Almost at the same time that Wittmann discovered the opponent, the opponent also happened to see him!
On the armored train, the field guns were also quickly adjusting their angles.
For armored trains, its firepower is the easiest to pour to both sides of the train. A large number of machine guns are arranged on both sides. The 75mm field guns can't beat the shooting angle.
Therefore, the only thing that can be used now is the turret on the front compartment of the car body, the 1oo mm field gun, which can be aimed straight ahead!
The woods are about to pass, UU reads and is on the edge of the woods. The sharp-eyed gunner can already see the German tanks!
The opponent is also aiming at one's own side, and now, it is comparing whose shooting speed is faster!
"Quick, reload!" On the armored train, the gunner Neymar shouted loudly.
The train was shaking, and the gunner stuffed a 1oo mm armor-piercing projectile in it.
German armor is quite thick. So, are you afraid of 1oo mm shells?
"Fire!" With the gunner's shout, the train cannon made a violent roar. At the muzzle, a huge flame emerged. The pointed armor-piercing projectile flew out from the inside. The distance between the two sides was only 500. Meter!
And almost at the same time, a flame burst out of the muzzle of the Panther 3 tank on the opposite side.
Shoot!
What makes Wittmann most excited is to shoot at the opponent's train gun!
If compared from the caliber, the Panther 3 is only 75 mm, while the opponent has 1oo mm, but if you compare the power of the artillery, you must not just compare the caliber!
The opponent’s 1oomm field gun is a rather backward low-magnification cannon, while his own 75mm gun is the latest and most advanced tank gun developed by the German Krupp company!
For example, from the perspective of the shells, the 75mm tank gun, the first nearly 8oo meters per second, far surpasses the backward field guns on the opposite side!
Therefore, the two sides fired almost at the same time, but the 75mm armor-piercing projectile hit the other side first!
The armored train is such a big target, and the 75mm tank gun has a terrifying trajectory. As long as it is roughly aimed, it can fire! Not to mention the most elite car group like Wittmann!
With a fierce whistling, 75mm shells, and the front armor of the armored train, they are in close contact!
