Chapter 329 German Scouts
How can the cavalry regiment be equipped with heavy machine guns?
This is of course very normal. If you watch the movie at that time, you will see that when the cavalry unit is charging, there will be other equipment.
For example, two horses are pulling a carriage, and on top of the carriage is a heavy machine gun! Yes, this is the equipment, the horse-drawn machine gun!
While galloping and firing, it is like a moving fortress!
The cavalry, of course, must also keep pace with the times!
And now, following the order of the head of the cavalry regiment, several heavy machine guns opened fire first, and then the cavalrymen, with their rifles in their hands, also began to aim and shoot here!
The bullet roared, and at this moment, the motorcycle rider Locke slammed the handlebar.
I saw that the sidecar on one side was about to be tilted up. The motorcycle completed a sharp turn at an incredible speed, and then it could back up.
Motorcycles are only used for reconnaissance, not for combat. Now, the bullets shot from the opposite side are enough to show that it is a regiment-sized army. These motorcycles want to kill the opponent, that is absolutely unrealistic.
Therefore, they have to retreat, which is their most correct choice.
At the same time, Glitter, who was on the side, also grabbed the handle with agility, as if they used to do this often.
The sidecar of the motorcycle was pried up, and the bottom of the sidecar was just a baffle, which blocked the bullets that were shot. However, at this time, the driver Locke let out a scream.
A bullet hit Locke's chest, and blood spurted radially from the inside, apparently piercing the aorta!
With his last strength, Locke stabilized the motorcycle and released the accelerator.
Glitter, flipped out of the sidecar at once, holding the MG34 light machine gun in his hand.
"Chichichi", the sound of high-speed rotation like a chainsaw, this light machine gun also fired at this moment!
Now, the elite SS are still equipped with MG34 light machine guns. A large number of troops have begun to equip a simplified version of this machine gun, which is the MG42 of later generations. No matter which machine gun it is, it is the most successful in this era. machine gun!
Compared with the two machine guns, the production process is only simplified. Under the leadership of Dr. Grunov, the traditional process was replaced by the stamping process, and a new machine gun was manufactured.
The traditional firearm manufacturing process is to process a solid metal with a lathe, milling machine, etc., and cut off unnecessary parts. The metal utilization rate is only about 25%, which not only wastes materials, but also costs a lot of man-hours.
The MG42 produced by the metal stamping process not only saves materials and man-hours, but is also more compact. This is very practical for Germany, which lacks metal resources.
The high rate of fire of this machine gun makes its sound different from Da Da Da. If it is more vivid, it is the sound of tearing a large piece of linen.
The high rate of fire MG34 machine gun can shoot five or six rounds even with a short burst of the trigger!
Now, Glitter's aiming is quite accurate. At this moment, the Polish soldier who was operating the heavy machine gun on the opposite side fell backwards and fell. There were five or six holes in his body!
If you are shot, you will be shot several times in an instant!
Gritt's short shot successfully took out a machine gunner on the opposite side, and then he quickly moved to kill the second machine gunner!
He did this, of course, to cover a few motorcycles behind, and the motorcycle riders were turning quickly to get out of here.
At the same time, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle behind also stopped.
"Boom!" 37mm shells flew out of the small turret! The warriors of the well-trained Skeleton Division, in the moment of the brief encounter, took up the battle.
The armor of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle is not thick, and it can also resist the shooting of ordinary 7.92mm machine gun bullets. They made a flexible response in a short period of time!
First block the opponent and cover the retreat of their own motorcycles, and then they retreat as they walk, so that they can calmly leave the battle!
The shelling here was quite powerful, and it killed one of the opponent's machine guns at once!
Damn, even a reconnaissance team can't kill it! Here, the commander of the cavalry regiment was angry.
"The 3rd company, attack and destroy these Germans!" shouted the commander of the cavalry regiment.
Strike!
The commander of the 3rd company, Alex, jumped on his horse's back and drew out his saber: "The 3rd company, rush with me!"
Every branch of the military has the most handsome moment. The moment when the armored soldier starts the tank and half-exposed his body outside, the pilot completes the task and gets off the plane...
For the cavalry, when they get on the horse and start charging, it is their most handsome moment!
The soldiers who were still lying on the ground just now stood up one after another. They found their horses and turned over!
The horse neighed, as if it knew something, and was also in a state of excitement!
Not all soldiers wielded shiny sabers, and of course they knew that sabers were nothing in front of armored vehicles.
More people are holding Molotov cocktails in their hands!
In the Spanish Civil War, the Molotov cocktails were commonly used by international columns against German tanks! This kind of thing is simple to make, and the effect is not bad! If the cavalry is used, it is even easier. If the infantry bombardier can throw a distance of 30 meters, then the cavalry can throw 60 meters and 80 meters!
After all, when the cavalry charges, the speed is very fast!
This reconnaissance unit of the Germans cannot be allowed to escape. If even these people are let go, what will be the face of the Polish army?
In the neighing of the horses, a famous cavalry, riding vigorously on the horse, bent down on the horse's back, and charged quickly!
Grit lay on the side of his motorcycle, using the motorcycle as a cover, and took out a new fifty-round bullet chain from the sidecar by taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's stop shooting.
Facing the cavalry that the Poles rushed out, Glitter was not afraid at all, he pulled the trigger and continued to shoot!
Cavalry, if you want to charge, you must first ask yourself whether your machine gun will agree or not!
At the same time, on the wheeled reconnaissance vehicle behind, it was also found that the situation was not good, and the 37mm gun continued to fire rapidly and violently!
The motorcycles that were retreating also stopped and used their machine guns to shoot at the rushing Polish cavalry. The machine guns burst out with flames!
The cavalry, this backward branch of the army, should withdraw from the stage of history! Those war horses, go to the logistics camel equipment! As for the cavalry, let's be an infantry soldier honestly!
In front of machine guns, you are nothing!
