Chapter 205 Railway Station
"Three hundred meters ahead, machine gun positions, grenades, launch!" Wittmann kept directing the target to his gunner.
"Boom!" The 75mm long-barreled tank gun let out a roar. With this roar, the entire car body trembled backwards, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the interior of the tank.
The Panther 2 tank uses a 50mm tank gun, while the Panther 1 tank uses a more powerful 75mm tank gun!
With the roar of the tank guns, the opposite machine gun position was blown away in the explosion.
Hit it right!
In front, there is no firepower at all! Wittmann ordered his tanks to move on!
In the back, the tanks of the entire tank company 1 headed towards the urban area of Fort Henares. Their target was the railway station in the urban area!
"Huchihuchi..." A steam locomotive entered the railway station with a roar, and the train stopped smoothly with the unique braking sound.
Twenty flatbed trucks were pulled behind, and on the trucks were all grass-green tanks!
There are T-26 and BT5, this is the latest batch of arms transferred from the port!
The first car behind the front of the car was a stuffy tanker. When the car stopped, the doors opened, and the tank soldiers, who had taken off their Soviet epaulets, were about to jump off.
All the way, the stuffy tanker is quite uncomfortable. In this train station, it is just breathable.
Korchagin, the Soviet tank company commander, was about to jump off when he sensed that something was wrong.
In the distance, why is there the sound of firefighting?
In the stuffy tanker just now, he couldn't hear the movement outside, the sound of the railway clacked, making people tinnitus, but now, he finally heard clearly, there was a rumbling sound of cannons outside!
Look again, where are there people on the platform?
"Quick, unload our tanks and prepare for battle!" Korchagin shouted loudly to his subordinates.
Obviously, there was an attack here! On the other hand, we must quickly enter the battle!
On a flatbed truck, a tank was transported, placed in the middle, and there was still a large distance between the front and rear of the flatbed truck.
After hearing Korchagin's order, the rest of the soldiers immediately ran to their tank, twisted the wire that bound the tank with pliers, and then quickly ran to the tank.
Tanker Christoph climbed onto his T-26 tank, turned on the switch, and heard the sizzling electric sound of the starter behind him. Two seconds later, a roar appeared.
The tank vibrated, and the GAZT-26 91-horsepower engine was successfully launched!
Gear up, back off! Christoph had three years of experience in driving tanks, and he was extremely rich. Without anyone to command, he stepped back one meter and then accurately braked the tank.
Turn left! Pull the left operating lever to the end, engage the forward gear, the engine at the rear roars, and the car body rotates.
"Be careful!" Korchagin on the platform, looking at the tank on the flatbed, immediately shouted loudly, what is this for?
Then, he saw the answer.
The half body of the T-26 has been suspended in the air, Christoph continued to retreat, and then moved forward again. After turning back and forth twice, on the flatbed, a 90-degree steering was achieved, and the car body was at right angles to the flatbed!
Then, Christoph slammed the accelerator twice, and the T-26 tank began to move downward!
There is a distance of half a meter from the flatbed truck to the railroad track, and a distance of half a meter from the railroad track to the land base below, which is almost a one-meter steep slope!
The track of the tank swayed and wriggled forward. The body of the tank slowly wanted to sway out. Soon, half of the body was outside!
Christopher hit the brakes.
The entire tank body, with the edge of the flatbed as the axis, began to turn downward, and then turned downward, and then the front end of the car body touched the ground.
"Boom!" The tank swayed, and the flatbed truck was also tilted up, and the wheels on the other side all jumped up from the rails! However, the flatbed did not overturn!
"Buzz, buzz." Christopher continued to bang the accelerator, the track continued to move, the tank moved forward, and finally, the last track came off the flatbed!
"Boom!" Until this time, the wheel on the other side of the flatbed slammed down heavily, collided with the rails, and made a sound.
It's down!
Originally, loading and unloading from the flatbed car required an inclined plane, but now, in an emergency, Christoph did not use the inclined plane, and just started it!
It sounds very long, but in fact, it didn't take five minutes before and after!
Seeing Christopher come down like this, the rest of the tankers were also very encouraged, so they did the same, and the whole railroad groaned.
"What's the matter?" At this moment, Korchagin finally found a soldier of the retreating Republican Army and shouted to him.
The other party shook his head, said nothing, just pointed his finger behind.
Language barrier!
Korchagin didn't speak Spanish either, and they came to fight without an interpreter.
But now, there is no need to translate. In the distance, the same rumble sounded, and at the end of the street in front of the train station, there was a stream of black smoke, which was the exhaust gas of the tank's engine!
"Prepare for battle!" Korchagin shouted, jumping into the tank that Kristoff was moving.
Ready to fight! Korchagin got into the turret, opened the aiming device, and then the loader who got in began to stuff a 45mm shell into the gun chamber in the bumpy tank.
Christophe stepped on the accelerator and the T-26 rumbled forward!
fighting! Here, since the narrow roads meet, we must fight bravely!
In the back, a part of the tank has come off the flatbed, and the other part has unfortunately turned over. Not every tanker is so lucky.
The tank that came down followed behind, ready to take part in the battle.
In the square in front of the train station, the space is still very wide, enough for the tanks to open the attack surface.
"Target T-26, 1,500 meters away." At this time, the Panther 1 tank had stopped, and Wittmann's eyes were fixed on his sights. At the same time, in his heart, Converting quickly.
No laser rangefinders, no crosswind sensors, no ballistic computers, all based on the tanker's own experience!
What we have at hand is only the optical sighting device, and now, the well-known Zeiss company has produced a sophisticated TZF-9b optical sighting sight. Compared with the shoddy Soviet goods, the precision of this sighting is quite high!
Wittmann's eyes saw several horizontal triangles engraved on the sight, and the target was on the large central triangle.
