SdKfz is the abbreviation of Sonderkraftfahrzeug in German, meaning special motor vehicles. During World War II, the Sdkfz251 armored conveyor was developed using the chassis of the 3tHLKL6 type half-crawler transporter of the Borgwad Company, and this transporter chassis was developed on the chassis of the D7 half-crawler transporter with a weight of only 1t.

This half-track armored conveyor vehicle has a total combat weight of 8.5 tons. The vehicle is equipped with 2 crew members, namely the driver and the commander, and can also accommodate 10 crew members. It is exactly the standard of an infantry squad.

This is also a way full of the characteristics of the times. There are wheels in the front, tracks in the back, and wheels in the front help to turn when driving on the road, and tracks in the back, increasing off-road capabilities.

The same engine of the Sdkfz250 armored conveyor car uses the Maybach HL42TUKRM engine, with a power of 100 horsepower and a maximum speed of 55 kilometers per hour. It is placed in the front of the car body to open the tailgate behind the car body. However, in order to give the driver a wide vision, the inclination at the top of the engine room was specially increased. The transmission has 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.

There are 6 load-bearing wheels on each side of the vehicle body, with the driving wheels in front and the induction wheels in the back, and the load-bearing wheels are arranged in an interlaced manner. The track is a metal track with rubber pads. The track ground length is 1.8m and the track width is 280mm.

Historically, this kind of vehicle was developed successfully in 39 years, but now the progress has been advanced.

Speaking of the reasons, it is also ridiculous.

Even without Cialis, the German Army attached great importance to the development of tanks. Cialis was able to bring a group of people to Libya, and the German military was interested in releasing the waters.

However, under the circumstances at that time, I didn't know what Cirick could have done, so the German military did not stop its own research and invested money to create projects like the No. 1 tank.

However, compared with the Black Panther Tank that Cirick made, he was instantly behind!

So, the German Army knew that their development was already behind! In terms of tanks, the German army did not have to worry about whether it was behind in the past decade!

So, the military simply changed direction, besides tanks, there were other equipment!

And this Sdkfz250 armored conveyor vehicle is a project developed by the military in recent years! Since it is not easy to tinker with tanks, then there must be some achievements in armored vehicles, right?

Cialek has always been very busy. It was only recently that he saw that all the development work had been completed in the materials reported by the Equipment Department. The report was prepared to be put into use, and he was ready to produce 1,000 vehicles in advance and deliver them to the German Army for use. Cialek at that time, although he was not very satisfied with this model, he later approved it.

What’s not satisfied? Of course, it’s still the kind of interlaced load-bearing wheel! After equipping the troops, this thing is a nightmare and it’s quite difficult to maintain it!

Fortunately, this is a light vehicle, with a weight of less than ten tons, which is much lighter than a tank. Since the army has done everything, let them just do it themselves!

Then, based on this armored conveyor, a slight improvement can be made into an Sdkfz251 armored conveyor specially for armored grenadiers!

Even, it can be said that if Cirick signs an order now, if one of the random factories of Bussing, Vissher, Womarg, Weigmann, Leedscher, and Dutsher factories will be delivered to the First Armored Division next month!

In addition to the interlaced load-bearing wheels, the way the top is open also makes Cialis quite dissatisfied. However, now, Cialis knows that what you need most is to produce it first!

The first group of people to go to the desert has been nearly ten years! How many decades can they have in their lives? They must not wait any longer!

Now, Sdkfz251 armored conveyor vehicles are first produced, and then, the new infantry fighting vehicles are gradually developed. Cialek has already thought about these.

After all, half-tracked ones can only be emergency response and cannot fully adapt to the environment. Moreover, this is called an armored conveyor vehicle, which can be said to be mainly used for transportation, rather than a real infantry fighting vehicle!

In the future, two infantry fighting vehicles will be developed, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles built on Ford's wheeled chassis, and a newly developed advanced tracked combat vehicle similar to later Soviet BMP infantry fighting vehicles!

Well, these tasks should be started!

"I will make arrangements for the issues with armored vehicles immediately," said Cialek. "Next month, a batch will be shipped here. Within three months, all armored vehicles will be fully equipped."

"Great!" Scherner couldn't help but shout.

In fact, they have been responding to their superiors about armored vehicles, but every time they reply, they have all the tanks given to you. Why are you still anxious?

Over the past period of time, the newly formed SS First Armored Division has actually had a rather awkward position.

The National Wehrmacht looked extremely dissatisfied with them. Originally, the National Wehrmacht was the only military unit in Germany, but now they are expanding from 100,000 to 150,000, which requires a large amount of military expenditure.

At the same time, they were also staring at the latest Black Panther tank! They wanted to give priority to equip this powerful tank to their troops, and as a result, they were all given to the SS's First Armored Division!

After the cost of Black Panther 1, which cost 100,000 marks, was reduced, and the Black Panther 2, which was close to 80,000 marks, was given to the SS! Everyone was jealous. At this time, they still wanted an armored vehicle? No way!

In history, the SS was Himmler's, and Himmler would of course make the decision, giving them all kinds of equipment first, but now it has nothing to do with Himmler, and it has become Himmler's! And Himmler is still in the United States!

So, after countless reports, the armored vehicles were still missing, and they were just equipped with civilian transport trucks!

Now that Cyric is back, someone is supporting them all at once!

Within three months, the armored vehicles were equipped! Those guys from the National Defense Forces must be jealous! Humph, let them be jealous! Our side is the first division!

"Well, let's talk about armored vehicles first." Cialick said: "What do you think are the light weapons you are using now?"

Over the past few years, Cialick has been running around and considering various major events. Now, when he came to the front line, Cialick suddenly realized that there was still a big problem that had not been solved.
