Chapter 1130 Stalker Tank Destroyer (Plus 2)

In the German army, the armored units are undoubtedly the most powerful. Their terrifying mobility and impact force make it impossible for the enemy to deal with ten times the strength, and they will be easily eliminated.

However, after all, armored troops are a minority, and most of them are ordinary infantry. In the history of later generations, because all resources were concentrated in armored troops, the equipment of ordinary troops was worse. In the back, a large number of infantrymen stepped onto the battlefield of the Soviet Union on foot.

Now, compared with history, the equipment of the German troops has been greatly updated.

When he and Ford jointly developed a 10-ton off-road truck, Cyric prepared it for now. Now, this 10-ton truck has been equipped in a large number in the German army.

Tank troops need a large number of vehicles as logistics transportation, and the consumption of ammunition and fuel is very large, and ordinary motorized troops also need to use trucks to transport soldiers.

Fighting in a truck is completely different from fighting on foot. Soldiers can save their energy and stay on the battlefield to fight the enemy.

The roads in the Soviet Union are basically dirt roads, not hardened, with potholes on them, and ten-ton Ford trucks are moving forward on the road.

The engine of the truck rumbled, and behind the carriage, there were German soldiers who were waiting in battle, with boxes of ammunition under their feet.

Behind the truck, there are all kinds of artillery, they are the real motorized infantry division.

In front of the convoy are scouts. They are a mixed reconnaissance battalion of motorcycles and wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. They walk at the forefront of the entire army, fanning out, searching for the area ahead in order to meet the Soviet army. Before contact, the first time can be found.

Conrad twisted the throttle of his own motorcycle. This BMW R75 motorcycle is very cool to ride, and, in the hands of an experienced rider, it can run even faster than a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle. .

On the seat on his right is his squad leader Tros. On the back seat is an MG40 machine gun, which is their most powerful firepower. When encountering the opponent's infantry squad or even an infantry platoon, they can strangle them. them.

The motorcycles galloped fast on the field, and behind them, there were several motorcycles galloping with them.

Tross, sitting in the bumpy sidecar, still able to pull out his binoculars and look straight ahead, suddenly became tense.

"It was found that the opponent's tank units, models, T-26 and T-34, about fifty in number, are advancing towards us, hurry up, inform our rear forces, prepare for anti-tank operations!"

No one would have thought that the Soviet tank troops would rush in from this direction. Instead of confronting the German tank troops, they would do nothing here?

Just in time!

After Tross finished speaking, Conrad made a chic tail flick and completed a 180-degree turn. The sidecars of the motorcycle were all raised high, while Tross still sat steadily.

They drove back dozens of meters and merged with a motorcycle behind. This motorcycle has radio equipment to get in touch with the troops behind and report the situation!

The 42nd Army has two infantry divisions. After the 87th Infantry Division received the report from the scouts in front, the division's anti-tank battalion immediately took action.

Although it is a motorized infantry division, the anti-tank battalion of the division still uses weapons with self-propelled chassis, which is the still unknown Hunter tank destroyer.

At the beginning, after finishing the Czech war, Cyric inspected the most important Skoda arsenal in the Czech Republic. The Skoda arsenal was transformed by German engineers and began to produce the same Panther tanks.

However, the Skoda arsenal also left behind a large number of 38t tanks and unfinished tank chassis. This tank is completely outdated in the eyes of the German armored forces and is vulnerable in front of the Panther tank.

However, it would be too wasteful to return these tanks directly. When the President of Cyric was inspecting, the contradiction was unresolved. In the end, the President of Cyric had an idea and suggested that these tank chassis be changed into tanks Destroyer, and later the Führer named it Stalker.

This stalker tank destroyer is an excellent anti-tank weapon formed on the 38t tank chassis, simply using a large angle of armor and erecting a long-barreled 75mm tank gun.

In later generations, this thing was famous, and even the Allies admired it.

But now, the German armored forces are not uncommon for this kind of weapon, so after it was manufactured, it was assigned to the motorized infantry division. After they got it, it was definitely a treasure.

The divisions in the motorized infantry division belong to the anti-tank battalion. The standard equipment is the towed 75mm anti-tank gun. Now, with the self-propelled chassis, the anti-tank gun is equipped with an engine to run faster and fight. It's more efficient!

It's a pity that in the past, they had little use. Whether it was fighting France or the United Kingdom, those weak armies shivered in front of the German armored forces. The motorized infantry divisions followed behind, and their main task was to capture prisoners. , for security, they have not fought a decent battle on the front line.

This made every soldier of the Infantry Division hold back his strength, and now, the opportunity has finally come.

4 large road wheels, so that the Stalker tank destroyer can run fast in the field, but the bumps are not very severe, the track width on both sides is large, and the dead weight of the car body is very small. The outstanding data is that the pressure on the ground is the smallest among all equipment, and even if it is in the mud, it can easily climb out.

There is no turret on it, and it is surrounded by heavily sloping armor, which makes its profile quite low, which brings great benefits. With a small self-weight, it maximizes the weapon. As for the disadvantage, it is its Aiming is difficult and requires the close cooperation of the crew members.

Battalion Commander Shute was sitting in his Stalker. He stretched out half of his body and looked ahead with his binoculars. At this time, the Stalker tank destroyer painted in camouflage was almost integrated with the ground. The opponent will only be observed at close range, and as long as the stalker is at a distance of one thousand meters, the stalker has a very powerful high-precision shooting, which is enough to kill the opponent.

According to the direction indicated by the scouts, they continued to advance for a few kilometers, and soon, they saw a group of tanks galloping over in the distance.

"Watch out, find the target, find suitable cover, and prepare to ambush the Soviets," Schutt shouted over the radio.

A low-profile stalker who quickly finds its own cover, small dirt slopes, small bushes, and even grass can make it camouflaged.
