Chapter 349： Overwhelmed

SdKfz232 heavy armored vehicle, this is the official title, and in private, for convenience, this inexpensive armored vehicle with a large amount of equipment is called a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which is to distinguish it from the tracked 251 series armored vehicle.

Why is it cheap? Because the parts of this car are widely used with Ford's ten-ton trucks, this kind of commonality brought about a reduction in costs. After Ford set up a factory in Germany, it abruptly reduced the price of the truck. Half, this is the charm of generalization.

On the other hand, because of the wheeled type, the resistance of the wheeled type is much smaller than that of the crawler chassis. It travels faster on the road and consumes less fuel.

The shortcoming is that its off-road capability is always incomparable with the crawler. Later, on the muddy Soviet land, the passability of this wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is far inferior to that of the crawler.

However, at least for now, it is still suitable for war on the European continent.

At the same time, this infantry fighting vehicle makes a lot of reference to the design of the truck. The engine is arranged in the front, the driver is on the left and the engine is on the right. In this way, the space behind, which is equivalent to the part of the body, is quite spacious. .

Here, a ten-man combat team is arranged, which is just the space of an infantry squad.

Because there are tires on both sides, it is the same as the infantry fighting vehicles of later generations. The door is opened from the back. When necessary, you can even jump from the back during the movement. In this way, the front is blocked by the car body. The infantry is still relatively safe.

On the upper part of the car body is the turret.

The design of this infantry fighting vehicle is much more advanced than the open 251 series armored personnel carrier. It can fight directly on the battlefield!

There are small holes on both sides of the car body, allowing the infantry to shoot directly from inside the car body.

In this way, there is a new problem.

The Mauser rifle is too long, even if it is used as a cavalry gun, it is further shortened, and it is not suitable for use in a small infantry fighting vehicle. Therefore, the armored infantry battalion must use new weapons for combat needs.

If possible, they certainly hope that the 6.8mm MP38 submachine gun can be equipped for them. Now, the entire army is competing for this submachine gun everywhere.

As an ordinary motorized infantry division, they can't beat others. Therefore, they can only retreat and equip them with MP36 submachine guns. Although they are second-hand replacements from the SS, they are still excited. Especially, this batch is all models with 75 round drums!

The small submachine gun is very suitable for use inside the infantry fighting vehicle. Now, the collision with the cavalry comes in handy!

If the infantry go down and lay out the interception line in a hurry, they can only be crushed to death by these cavalry, sitting in the infantry chariot, extremely safe, and then, through the shooting hole, open fire to the outside.

As long as there are cavalry, fire!

In the turret of the infantry fighting vehicle, the commander only pays attention to the front. In case there is a fish that slips through the net, the defense on both sides should be handed over to the infantry on board.

So, after the cavalry appeared in the field of vision, a German soldier immediately squeezed the trigger of his submachine gun. Amidst the sudden gunshots, a shuttle of bullets swept towards the cavalry outside, and immediately gave this fellow Killed.

"Boom!" Two seconds later, the grenade exploded. At this time, the infantry fighting vehicle had already left.

The 230-horsepower diesel engine is roaring, and black smoke is constantly emerging from the exhaust pipe on the side. In the process of this kind of hedging, the flame must not be turned off. That is to discredit the German armored vehicle!

If you want to keep the flame off, you need a big throttle! The driver stepped on the accelerator and kept going forward, then he shouted: "Attention, bump!"

Hit!

A 20mm machine gun, with 180 rounds of ammunition, half of which are grenades and half of armor-piercing rounds. Now, the grenade has been burned out. Just when the commander was preparing to change his weapon to operate the machine gun on the side, the Polish cavalry , Just like this!

The turret is so small that it can only be operated by one person. This type of infantry fighting vehicle is actually operated by three people, one driver, one electrician, one commander, gunner and machine gunner.

The tall war horse slammed into the infantry chariot, and on the horseback, the rider wanted to jump up from the horseback at the last moment of the collision!

If these armored vehicles are not destroyed, then the Polish cavalry's charge would have failed. When they found that the two sides of the armored vehicles could actually fire, then they had only one way to destroy the armored vehicles.

Jump up, pull away the grenade, and blow them up!

He was very brave, but his behavior was pure suicide in the eyes of the driver.

When he operated the horse and drove over, the driver here also found out his intentions, and then stepped on the accelerator.

The roar of the engine was clearly audible on the battlefield where gunshots were made. This infantry fighting vehicle suddenly accelerated.

Therefore, the cavalry here was standing on the back of the horse. Before jumping over, his horse had a close contact with the infantry chariot .

On the ten-ton chassis, the transformed infantry fighting vehicle was about ten tons, and the armor in front slammed into the battle horse.

In a collision, it is always the best quality to win. This is the case when a chariot collides with a chariot, and even more so when a chariot collides with a chariot.

The horse was neighing and violently hit, and it immediately knocked it down. The severe pain of the broken leg bone made it wailing, and the cavalry on the horseback was also thrown off at this moment.

For the infantry fighting vehicle, the impact just made it shake slightly. At the moment of the collision, the driver stepped on the clutch for fear that the engine would stall. Then, he lifted the clutch and continued to push the accelerator. Stepping on them all, at the same time, both arms raised the steering wheel.

The opponent's horse fell to the left, and now, he turned left!

The wide off-road tires were crushed on the horse, one after another. After the four tires were crushed, the horse had already lost its life.

At the same time, on the other side of the war horse, a cavalry who had been crushed half of his body stroked the head of the war horse with his last strength. Just now, the off-road tires also pressed on the cavalry.

One man and one horse, closing his eyes almost at the same time, this fierce battle has nothing to do with them.

Fighting is so **** and cruel. At this time, tolerance to the enemy is cruel to yourself! If there were no armoured infantry battalions participating in the battle, all the remaining infantry fighters on their side would be trampled to death by these cavalry!

These Polish cavalry are all ruthless characters. They did the same in the battle with the Soviet Union a few years ago. They even liked to step on the enemy with horses and listen to the sound of broken bones.

This is the battle, the battle of blood and fire.

The setting sun is like blood.
