Chapter 2205 Mechanical Surprise Attack

For the vast majority of German soldiers at present, the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle, which has only been tested by the Leader Division so far, is definitely a very trendy thing that only a very few people have seen.

If only a few people have seen it, it is not the worst, because the witnesses can more or less record the real situation they have seen with their own eyes, and then tell their superiors and comrades, and the German army can also understand the BMP43 a little bit based on this, make some corresponding analysis and judgment, and maybe try to find some possible weaknesses.

But the problem is that the German soldiers who have seen this thing with their own eyes, regardless of whether they are SS or Wehrmacht, have either become the extinct souls under the rolling iron flow of the Leader Division, or have obediently raised their hands and surrendered to participate in Siberian farmhouse fun for free. So far, there has never been a German army that has seen this thing with its own eyes and can retreat in a complete organization to narrate its experience of fighting.

Perhaps a few surviving German deserters slipped away from the leader's division and were lucky enough to meet up with the main German army to report their situation.

But these few eyewitness reports were too fragmented. At most, they gave the Germans a vague understanding and roughly knew that the Russians had such a new thing with unknown details. As for the specific details and technical overview, they were completely in the dark and knew nothing. Naturally, there was no way to summarize and organize the information and send it to the front-line troops.

This was nothing more than the German soldiers who were frightened by the galloping iron flow, and they could scream in panic that the Russian tanks were coming, because the BMP43 was indeed a tank.

"Engage! Prepare for battle! Stop those Russians quickly!"

"Stop!? Are you crazy? We only have dozens of broken guns and no anti-tank guns. Are we going to stop them on this dirt road?"

"The Russians are aiming! Be careful!"

Boom--

The explosive power of the 85mm high-explosive grenade is not small or large. At best, it can only be considered moderate. If it encounters a decent fortification bunker, it can't even be considered moderate. It can only be said that the power is too small.

But if it hits a soft target infantry, it's another matter.

The 85mm high-explosive grenade exploded on the curb, splashing out bright flames and hot shrapnel. Several German soldiers who were very close to the curb and had just laid down with their guns could not dodge in time. In an instant, they were covered with metal shrapnel rain from the front. Almost the whole face was instantly torn into a bloody paste, and they fell to the street and died without a sound.

"Continue! High-explosive bombs loaded! Cover the infantry fighting vehicles, any Germans who can still move on the road are targets, blow them up until they can't get up!"

The three T43 medium tanks, as the backbone of the entire reconnaissance team, are not very powerful. By the standards of the leader division, such firepower is just enough to fill the gaps between teeth.

But the firepower of the Germans on the opposite side is not even as good as this. They don't even have a decent anti-tank gun, let alone a tank. They are just a bunch of idiots stuck on the dirt road and only have a straight ball to be bombed.

The only one that can be called a relatively reliable anti-tank firepower is the 75mm anti-tank gun mounted in the shed of the modified 251 half-track vehicle.

The Germans, who are seriously lacking a platform for carrying barreled artillery, have become a little crazy at the last moment of the collapse of the building. Even though the fragile body of the 251 is not suitable for carrying the same 75mm gun as the Panzer IV tank, they still force it regardless of whether it works or not.

The final result was that the 75mm gun that was forcibly installed was not easy to use, and it was seriously inconsistent with the flexible response direction of the 251 when it was originally designed.

Not to mention the slow battlefield reaction speed, the shed that accommodated the three-person combat team of the loader, gunner, and commander, plus the 75mm gun that was very huge for the 251 and was really a small car pulling a big gun, occupied space. As a result, the remaining ammunition rack capacity that could be used to store shells was even more pitiful, with only 18 rounds.

After making so many sacrifices, the crappy mobile direct-aiming artillery platform that was barely made was really useful.

As Alsim requested, the tank platoon leader commanded his own car and two tanks under his command. The first round of firing was aimed at the head and tail of the German convoy, and the 251 gun car with the 75 gun happened to be the first car leading the way.

To deal with this kind of open-top vehicle with thin skin and large filling, which is very fragile at first glance, armor-piercing bullets are too much to lift it, and may even cause harmless armor penetration. High-explosive bullets are the best choice to send this German vehicle on the road.

The 251 gun vehicle, which was accurately hit by an 85mm grenade on the side armor of the vehicle body, did not even have time to turn clumsily. The fragile side armor of the canopy was torn open with a loud bang, leaving a shocking tearing hole.

The flame storm wrapped in armor fragments and shrapnel, and took the lives of all five crew members in just a breathless moment. The fragile vehicle without full enclosed armor protection and thin skin, which could even be confronted by Deshka, ended up so miserably. Immediately afterwards, the ammunition rack at the rear of the vehicle was detonated and exploded strongly, and it went straight to the sky.

The entire 75mm gun was almost forcibly torn off from the rigidly connected gun shield. Not only was it thrown into the sky amid a violent explosion, it also freely fell in the opposite direction towards the rear of the convoy, whistling down.

A panicked German soldier who failed to dodge in time became an unlucky person who died tragically. The heavy breech block fell from the air seven or eight meters high and hit him on the back of the head.

The German soldier who was lying on the ground seeking shelter died on the spot without any pain, but his death was too miserable. His whole head and the dung spoon helmet were completely flattened and beaten into a pile of meat paste. The breech block, which was smoked black and hot by the explosion of ammunition and oil, roasted the meat and brain stuck to the steel, and a burnt smell floated into the nostrils of the surrounding German soldiers.

But now no one has the leisure time to complain about how disgusting the smell is. Their own lives are in danger and adrenaline is soaring. Who has the mind to care about this?

First, the artillery vehicle with the greatest threat, then the machine gun half-track vehicle with MG42, and finally the troop transport trucks that pose no threat and are purely transportation tools.

All the vehicle shelters that the German soldiers could hide in were not spared. After a few gunshots, they were named and sent to the sky one by one by several T43 tanks with a very fast firing rate.

Under the cover of the tanks' direct firepower, a BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle that was used as a courier delivery vehicle was transferred away, and now there were only two left. The accelerator was stepped on, and it approached the target's face while running wildly. Alsim, who had already mastered the skills of getting off the vehicle while moving, was the first to kick open the car door, picked up the AK in his hand, and jumped into the battlefield.
