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

Chapter 52: Raytheon Arsenal’s new M1940 75mm infantry gun, a trinity of flat and curved throws

After William arrived at the scene, he took out a still hot kettle and threw it to Ram, "Don't waste the freshly ground coffee."

"Thank you Captain"

Ram shouted as he took William's kettle with a smile, and at the same time raised the kettle in his hand to look at the other three people.

This is more than just a kettle or a cup of coffee, this is what leaders value.

Even a fool can see that the William in front of him must have a bright future. Following him will not only have a bright future but also a lot of political resources.

Everyone knows his background in Berlin, but no one knows exactly how big it is. Just look at William's coming out of the Gendarmerie and the purge of the Gendarmerie to know how powerful he was behind it.

Ram opened the kettle and took a few sips before waving directly.

The second row of soldiers behind them immediately began to attack fiercely.

Hiss!Hiss!
The dense bullets of the MG34 general machine gun shoot out like a heavy rain. Because it is an offense, it will not be stingy with bullets. The entire machine gun will quickly empty the entire ammunition chain.

Empty the bullet chain means changing the barrel.

The limit is 300 rounds. In fact, the bullet chain is over after 250 rounds. After all, long-term consumption of the barrel is undoubtedly the rhythm of killing the goose and laying the eggs.

What is needed now is a massive amount of bullets to buy ten seconds for the forward soldiers.

The ten-second charge is not only 80 meters, but also [-] meters.

But it's definitely different to be attacked in the face. No one wants it, because another wave of attacks can affect the defense line!
Only by blocking the opponent outside the defense line can it be considered safe.

In terms of weapons, the British army has no advantage at all, so the German army must not be overpowered.

"Change the barrel!"

As the machine gun crew shouted, all the infantry immediately got down!

The Thor M1940 semi-automatic rifles in their hands all started greeting.

Bang bang bang!Bang bang bang!
The submachine guns equipped by the British army in the 40s were almost the same as those of the Japanese. On the other hand, Germany had the advantage by equipping a large number of submachine guns.

If the British army was as ruthless as the Japs and directly fought with bayonets, the Germans would probably be even more wary. The key is that the enemy simply didn't have the courage to stab them. Unless it was a life-and-death encounter, the British army would not want to fight hand-to-hand to the death.

All the German machine gunners quickly changed the barrels of their guns, hung up their ammunition belts, quickly pulled the bolts, and continued shooting.

With its powerful rate of fire, it directly suppressed the British army.

The wounded in the hospital were very worried about whether Germany would come in.

They are now waiting like lambs to be slaughtered.

Because the sound of shelling and the sound of bullets were too close.

"Those who can move, help those who can't move, get out of here quickly, the Germans are already charging."

One of the lieutenant medics shouted with worry on his face.

Suddenly everyone began to panic, and the entire hospital began to panic.

As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain, let alone a group of wounded soldiers.

Those who were able to run quickly opened their legs and fled.

As for those soldiers who can't escape, just wish themselves well.

More than 30 wounded soldiers who could not leave were left crying and wailing in the hospital.

The fighting outside was very fierce, and the British army was determined to resist, but they were unable to parry in the face of William's company.

At this time, the Belgian government was discussing the issue of surrender, and they had been resisting for more than ten days.

It was one of the countries that resisted quite a lot among the Allied forces in World War II.

After all, it is much better to surrender within a few hours or directly.

Even France was defeated in just a few dozen days.

A 75mm short-barreled infantry gun is being produced at the Raytheon factory.

This is a high imitation of the Little Devil Type 240 infantry gun.The entire gun weighs [-] kilograms, and it is even lighter when the wheels and mantlet support are removed.

It's just that Germany currently has a high mechanization penetration rate, so you don't have to worry about its weight.

This infantry gun William is going to be equipped to company-level units. One company is equipped with two M1940 infantry guns.

All it takes is a half-track motorcycle for towing.

Carrying twelve 75mm shells, three artillerymen can handle the gun.

The half-track motorcycle can be hung with one person on the left and right behind it, and one person can sit on it and run along.

The company level provides this firepower mainly to attack bunkers.

This artillery is an imitation of the Type [-] infantry gun.

It can shoot in a curve, projectile, or flat. This is what makes this gun so awesome.

Its maximum elevation angle is larger than that of a mortar, and it can also shoot horizontally to destroy targets, or it can be ejected like a howitzer.

Talking about the artillery of Guizi Wanyouyao, it is really this Type [-] infantry cannon.

Its lightweight handling allows it to be equipped with company-level units.

It can provide effective projectiles and deflections, which can deter infantry in trenches, and can also strike at remote locations several kilometers away.

The latest artillery produced will basically be taken to the battlefield for testing.

Two M1940 75mm infantry guns came.

After the two half-track motorcycles stopped, the driver and the two artillerymen behind them got off the car.

The artillery support frame first unfolded to one side, and the three of them worked together to lift it and then turned it to one side.

The support bracket on the other side is operated in the same way.

Pull down a handle on the side of the artillery wheel and directly lock the two wheels.

Among them, the main gunner took out a sight glass and mounted it on the side of the gun.

Another artilleryman had already taken out a 75mm high-explosive bomb from the motorcycle and handed it to the ammunition supply hand next to the main gunner.

He took out a grinding tool and placed it next to the bomb feeder, and then placed the shells in the grinding tool one by one.

There are curved slots inside so you can place them one by one and prepare them.

After taking aim, the main gunner opened the breech, then took the shell and stuffed it into the breech, closed the breech and pulled the rope.

boom!
There was a loud blast and a wave of air swept over him, but the main gunner opened the breech without any hesitation, and the hot shell shell slipped off.

The gunner responsible for taking out the shells wore thick gloves and picked up the hot shell shells and placed them in their original slots.

After the main gunner took over another 75mm infantry gun, he pulled the firing rope again to fire the shell.

After firing three shells in one go, the main gunner stopped moving.

The monocular sight saw that the area target was eliminated in the observation scope and then locked onto another house.

William was also paying attention to the two M1940 75mm infantry guns in front of him.

It can be said that William is very concerned about this artillery.

Light infantry artillery is very useful against British and French troops.

This is much lighter than the German short-barreled 75mm infantry gun.

德国原有的75毫米步兵炮重达400公斤，与240公斤比起来那肯定是M1940型75毫米步兵炮更加的占优势了。

另外德国75毫米步兵炮射程只有3500米，而M1940型75毫米步兵炮射程高达4200米，这又是一大优势了。

It not only has a long range, is light in weight, and has more diversified operability.

　In the past few days, I have been delayed in updating due to attending a funeral. It is over now and I have returned to Hefei. I will resume tomorrow.
