Man in World War II: The Fall of an Empire!

Chapter 46: Questioning the No. [-] assault gun, half-track self-propelled artillery vehicle
Facing the narrow passage and the intersection blocked by at least two general-purpose machine guns, the British army felt powerless.

There are no effective defenses around. If you lie on the slope here, you can be attacked by the ridge on the opposite side. If you lie on the slope on that side, you can be attacked by the ridge on the other side.

If you want to talk about British courage, it will only be shown when fighting Italy or showing arrogance in the East.

In front of the German army, I only regretted that my parents had lost two legs.

"Captain, there seems to be a firefight over there with the Major. Do we want to go to support?"

A British second lieutenant who stayed behind discovered the situation and reported it immediately.

The British captain wears a big beard and looks like an old British officer.

They have a very rigid and inertial way of thinking about rescue issues.

Because he didn't receive the major's request for help, he would not send troops casually.

If there are no troops sent and the major becomes warped, that is the major's problem.

If they send troops, they are likely to be held responsible for disobeying orders, so the British army can watch their own people die and refuse to help without orders.

Whenever the British army comes to support from behind, a single squad of German troops cannot stop them, no matter how powerful they are.

The British army will definitely be able to escape.

The British captain in front of him was still waiting for orders.

Yes!Just waiting for orders.

On the other hand, the signal corpsman beside Major Taissey of the British Army had been blown into two sections.

As for the radio, it’s already in pieces and it’s probably hard to find parts.

"Don't you know how to support this idiot Moses? Damn bastard"

The British major lied in the pile of corpses and cursed loudly.

The entire battle ended after half an hour, and the British army chose to surrender.

Breaking through the two MG34 general-purpose machine guns of the German army without artillery fire is simply a dream.

Not to mention the powerful firepower network composed of two Thor shotguns and multiple Thor M1940 semi-automatic rifles.

The disgraced British Major Tessie surrendered with about [-] people raising their hands with an angry look on his face.

"You look unconvinced?"

William asked, taking a deep breath with a cigarette hanging from his lips.

"You despicable Germans only know how to use intrigues, what are you capable of!"

Does the other party think that the Germans in front of them are surrendering?

William looked at the other person's arrogant expression and directly picked up the cigarette butt in his hand and greeted him in the face.

The British Major Tessie screamed in pain.

"Do you fucking understand? Now you are just a prisoner. You are showing off to me, believe it or not, I will skin you? How did you get to be a major? Who will tell you the rules on the battlefield? If you lose, you will If you lose, you are still not convinced. You are incapable of killing so many people."

As William spoke, he kicked Major Tessie, who fell to the ground and was wailing.

"Tie him up! Give him a good greeting."

William was not polite and ordered directly.

There were also some mixed Belgian soldiers who were all picked out.

More than [-] people stood on the roadside in fear, because they didn't know how the German army would deal with them.

"Okay, gentlemen, don't be too nervous. You are different from the British army. You will know it when you see your compatriots."

William signaled the Belgian soldiers not to be too nervous.

Returning to Milesti Village, the prisoner of war camp area needs to be expanded in the village.

More than 150 British prisoners of war were harvested.

The disgraced British troops were thrown into prison camps.

As for the Belgian soldiers, they were arranged separately.

There were only a few dozen original Belgian soldiers left, and more than 30 of them were killed by the British army.

Now the twenty or so people began to tell various situations about the British army.

The forty or so people who surrendered looked at the British prisoners with indignation.

The British light tanks on both sides of the ridge were directly beaten into sieves by the Thor M40 heavy machine gun.

The Thor heavy machine gun is William's benchmark or even surpasses the Browning M2 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.

It uses a 13.8 mm caliber. Although the rate of fire is not high, its stability and destructive power are not inferior to the M2 Browning heavy machine gun.

This heavy machine gun will be used as company-level heavy firepower and deployed in the machine gun nest as a defensive force.

In addition, it is used on vehicles. The Thor Military Factory is developing a four-wheeled Humvee. The Thor M40 heavy machine gun will become the main weapon on the vehicle. With a gun mantlet, it will be a machine gun firepower point without encountering artillery.

This is why William dared to ambush the British army, including more than ten tanks, mainly with two direct armor-piercing projectiles from the Thor M40 heavy machine gun on one side.

The weak flanks allow 13.8mm armor-piercing bullets to penetrate easily.

The early British tanks were rubbish in all aspects of performance and defense.

Even if you get to the Crusader medium tank in 43, it is still a scumbag in front of other medium tanks.To put it bluntly, the enhanced version of the Panzer III tank can hit it.

What's more, the early cruise tanks were even more stretched.

If it were a French tank, it would be hard for a machine gun to deal with it.

The two new German vehicles will be treated as tanks for the time being.

Because of the weird shape, there is no tank turret, only a bright cannon on the body.

These are the two No. [-] assault guns that just rolled off the assembly line.

These two No. [-] assault guns rolled off the assembly line from the Thor Arsenal.

Raytheon Military Factory does not produce Sanbalzi in large quantities because the production line is at Mercedes-Benz.

The two No. [-] assault guns also use the No. [-] chassis produced by Mercedes-Benz.

But the engine is the latest diesel engine.

Germany is at a disadvantage in refining diesel, and coupled with the lack of oil wells, it has always chosen gasoline engines.

Raytheon has now broken its monopoly and discovered two large oil fields in northern Germany.

According to surveys, its output can add 300 million tons of crude oil to Germany every year.

Raytheon Company has broken through the deep well drilling technology project. Currently, Raytheon Company is the only company that masters deep well drilling technology.

Massive wealth began to accumulate in Raytheon.

At the same time, Raytheon also began to build a new military factory in the north.

Thor Tank Factory No. 1 is already under construction.

All aspects of its technology have made significant breakthroughs.

The first tank will be a 19-ton light tank conceived by William, equipped with a 75mm L48 caliber gun.

It is powered by the latest diesel engine and also uses the latest technology turbocharger to produce greater power.

According to data testing, it is estimated that this light tank will reach an astonishing ultra-high speed of 72 kilometers per hour.

Of course, this is just written test data. Even the Japanese's written test data are very high and awesome.

But only by actually building it can we test the real data.

Although there will be a discount, it will definitely not be too bad.

William is still very confident about this.

Two No. [-] assault guns came straight to Milesti Village to support William in the battle.

Three half-track armored vehicles followed.

These three half-track vehicles are not standard German half-track vehicles, but modified half-track self-propelled artillery.

These were sent to the front line for testing.

Behind the half-track armored vehicle is a 150mm infantry gun, and there are three hydraulic support columns on each side of the half-track armored vehicle.

When the half-track self-propelled gun fires, these six hydraulic support columns will lift the entire body.

Just like a modern crane, there are hydraulic support columns. When the angle is adjusted, some of the hydraulic support frames will be activated depending on the terrain.

The explosive power of the 150mm heavy infantry gun is far more terrifying than the 150mm howitzer.

There is still a difference in the amount of charge, especially the 150mm high-explosive bomb, which is even more terrifying.

This type of artillery is also equipped with some 150mm white phosphorus ammunition from Thor Armory.

This is even more destructive. If a pre-detonation device is installed, it will explode at about 50 meters in the air, and the white phosphorus bombs will spray down like a goddess scattering flowers.
In a large-scale battle, this is a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head.

After the vibration sounded, the German scout picked up his binoculars and breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the tank coming from ahead.

"It's our own tank, and there are three half-track armored vehicles behind it."

One group of scouts immediately started riding their four-wheelers through the mud and headed straight for the tanks.

The commander on the tank also saw the motorcycle coming and signaled to stop.

"Sergeant! I'll take you into the village."

The soldier on the motorcycle greeted.

Then he turned the accelerator and kicked up the mud and started to turn towards the village.

In places with continuous spring rains, these powerful four-wheel motorcycles can only be used as transportation for scouts.

Two-wheeled motorcycles can easily get stuck in the mud, because the wheels of these four-wheeled motorcycles have wide tires, and the four wheels bear more even force on the mud. They are all four-wheel drive, so their performance is very suitable for spring and autumn.

Tanks are different. You can just step on the accelerator and climb out of any mud pit that is not too deep.

In addition, the two Sanbalzi directly use the new diesel V8 engine plus a turbocharger.

A burst of black smoke came out, and the three bald men followed the four-wheeled motorcycle straight to the village like a wild horse.
