Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 151: Crash

The weapon configuration on the German armored reconnaissance vehicle is actually not suitable for this kind of battle at the moment. Many people may have a misunderstanding that the machine guns and machine guns on armored vehicles are designed to attack enemy infantry units. Although it is correct to think that, the main task of these weapons in actual combat is to attack enemy firepower points and suppress the opponent. Machine gun firepower.

The armored vehicle is a stable shooting platform. The precise sighting system enables the vehicle-mounted machine gun and machine gun to obtain a longer effective range than similar, and can accurately strike the target outside the effective range of the enemy's machine gun. At the same time, the armor shell gives the shooter better protection, allowing him to aim more safely in the rain of bullets.

In order to obtain better shooting accuracy, the turret weapon of armored vehicles sacrifices operational flexibility. The change of shooting direction and shooting angle needs to be adjusted by operating the hand wheel. These characteristics cause these vehicles to suppress shooting at a long distance. Terrible, but when dealing with high-speed moving cluster targets, the reaction is relatively slow.

The KK30 20mm machine gun on the 231 armored vehicle uses a standard ten-round magazine. If fired continuously, the firepower can only last for four seconds. Although the warhead has amazing lethality, the target is always moving fast. Under circumstances, a 20mm HE shell can often only kill one or two unlucky cavalry. In contrast, the coaxial machine gun caused a higher proportion of casualties. After all, it used a 150-round ammunition chain, which lasted longer and covered a larger area.

But the problem is that the rate of fire of the MG34 is still too fast. One hundred and fifty rounds lasted a few seconds longer than the machine gun. Facing the alien cavalry who charged wildly towards him, where did the shooter have the mind to shoot? , But directly pulled the trigger to death.

The officers and soldiers of the second platoon of reconnaissance and search have rich battlefield experience. When they were still in the third armored division sequence, the third motorized reconnaissance battalion fought a lot of tough battles on the French battlefield, and defeated many French infantry companies. resistance.

However, this is the first time they have fought against the enemy cavalry since they joined the army. Because of lack of experience in this area, the platoon leader made a small mistake in command. He underestimated the cavalry sprint speed. And in order to annihilate the opponent, he put the enemy too close.

Although in the first wave of shooting, the second row killed almost one-sixth of the enemy’s army, the armored car quickly finished its magazines, and there was a clear gap in firepower. At the same time, the Bedouin cavalry turned to Germany. People showed their tenacity and tenacity. They did not disintegrate quickly under firepower like the enemies encountered by the Germans before. Instead, they seized the short ten-second gap in firepower of the German army, and continued to charge horses and pull quickly. Close the distance between the enemy and ours.

The saber-toothed tiger’s fifty-millimeter gun is not more useful than a machine gun in this case. Although Snar loaded a high-explosive grenade in the barrel, he only killed and injured a few cavalry near the point where the shell fell. , Did not play the role of delay and intimidation due. On the contrary, the coaxial MG40 machine gun next to the artillery, under the commander's ingenuity, relied on turning the turret to create a beautiful fan, overturning a dozen Bedouin riders one after another. But this is also the limit that the Snar team can do. The MG40's rate of fire is even worse than that of the MG34, and one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition are almost consumed in an instant.

But the advantage is still on the German side. The Arabs only possess some light weapons, and they cannot cause substantial damage to the German armored vehicles.

These Bedouin cavalry are all equipped with British Lee Enfield cavalry rifles. These short-barreled rifles sacrifice a part of the range. Other indicators are no different from conventional rifles. The Saudi royal family prefers German weapons, and the royal family’s troops are equipped with The Mauser rifle produced in Germany, as a close ally of the royal family, the Juhaina tribe received two thousand Li Enfield riding lances presented by the British. Adil was allocated five hundred rifles, most of which were equipped on the body of the direct line of troops.

These fighters have never fought with armored vehicles. They didn't know that their bullets could not penetrate the armor of these vehicles, so on the way to the charge, they still continued to shoot at the German armored vehicles.

The British provided the Arabs with only regular lead-core warheads. The German armored vehicles appeared to be splattered with sparks. In fact, the body of the armored vehicles was scratched with a little paint, and the fenders and tool boxes were worn out. It's just a bullet hole.

Although the cavalry were hit all the way, they quickly approached one hundred and fifty meters, and they were able to rush into the German formation after at most ten seconds. At this time, of the two hundred elite Arab cavalry, there were only more than one hundred and twenty left, and the rest of the soldiers had fallen on their way to the charge.

"God is great! Oh cluck cluck" The cavalry praised the gods loudly and made all kinds of strange war roars. They seemed to see a glimmer of hope of winning. Those strange vehicles had all stopped shooting, maybe The person in the car was injured, or it may have run out of ammunition.

"Push forward!" Adile shouted to his men.

The administrative officer miraculously survived the charge. You must know that he was in the first row of the team at the time. All the riders who charged alongside him were already down, including the captain of the cavalry, Farrugg. , This superb Bedouin warrior was obviously not lucky. When the first wave of guns rang, he and his horse disappeared in the charging team.

Adile himself didn't understand how he rushed out of that terrible ammunition, but he firmly believed that it must be the arrangement of the true god, and he was obviously favored by the true god. Since he is protected by the true gods, he will never fail. The administrative officer mustered up the courage again. He believed that as long as he rushed to the side of these armored vehicles, he would definitely find a way to solve these monsters.

But in the next second, the administrative officer suddenly realized that all this was just a joke made by the true god. He was not protected by any protection, but more like a vicious curse.

The seventy cavalrymen on the right side of the road received a fierce blow from the flanks. The three platoons of cavalry that circled along the coast smoothly interspersed between the cavalry and the coast, and the platoon leader responded to the troops. Transformed from a charge formation into a column, almost in a position parallel to the cavalry, the vehicle-mounted machine gunners overturned the Bedouin fighters one by one like a target.

But this is not the end. It is just the beginning of a massacre. Just as the right-wing cavalry was in chaos, Adil's left wing was suddenly attacked by ground troops.

On the left side of the road (from the perspective of the Arabs), 70 meters away from the road, there is an inconspicuous low soil beam, possibly produced by natural weathering, another wonderful work of nature. At this moment, on the soil beam, a row of heads with helmets appeared suddenly, and then, like a volcanic eruption, a rain of bullets was poured over the cavalry.

Adile took a cursory look, and at least ten machine guns were equipped on the opposite side. This is a terrifying number, enough to crush the courage of the bravest Bedouin warriors in the tribe~IndoMTL.com~ Let them lose the ability to continue fighting. confidence.

"Ah!" Adile let out a stern howl, he seemed to have seen his fate.

The unwilling administrative officer put the revolver back in his waist, holding a scimitar in one hand, and pulling the rein with the other hand. The white Arabian horse struggled to stop, and the desert elf hissed. Standing upright, he raised his two forelimbs high and pedaled his horse's hooves toward the air.

While the cavalry were still puzzled by the strange behavior of their masters, a scene that made them unbelievable happened. They saw their most admired chief, the noble Yanbu city administrative officer, and the great Emir. , Turned around the horse's head in the next moment, and began to flee towards the wilderness on the left side of the highway.

The morale of Bedouin's elite cavalry collapsed completely at this moment.
