Chapter 170 Cute and funny little tank

"Brother, look at your face. Did you come from the East?" A man with a dirt came over from the trenches and stopped in front of a soldier from the International Column. He looked at the soldier and said.

This warrior, yellow skin, dark eyes, is a traditional oriental.

"Yes, I am Chinese, my name is Guo Fengxian." The man said: "I came to Spain voluntarily and fought for the freedom of the Spanish people."

His face, with a smile, and in his hand, he was holding a Bettier rifle.

"My name is Robert Capa, I'm a war correspondent." Robert stretched out his hand and said to him: "I really didn't expect you to fight for Spain's freedom."

On the battlefield, there are not only soldiers, but also a special group, called war correspondents. They are responsible for reporting wars to the whole world and recording every bit of the war. Robert, this Hungarian-American photographer, is one of the most famous war photographers of the 20th century.

The Spanish Civil War attracted Robert, who came to Spain through France, and yesterday, came to Badajoz, a focus area where the two sides competed.

There is no saying of justice or evil in any war, or, simply, whoever wins is just.

Now, after all, Franco is rebellious, and the government is nominally legally elected. In the eyes of some people who advocate freedom, of course they think that the government is just, and Franco is a rebel.

Robert came here very excitedly and began his glorious legendary life. Here, he met soldiers from the International Column who came from China, and he was very novel.

"Come on, I'll take a photo for you." Robert said, picking up his camera and pressing the shutter.

"Be careful!" At this moment, Guo Fengxian grabbed him. Just as Robert was about to take a photo, Robert stood up and his head was exposed outside the trench.

"Boom!" Not far away, a shell exploded, and the fragments of the bomb almost wiped the top of Robert's head and flew over. If Guo Fengxian hadn't pulled him, he would have been cut off his head!

Robert took a deep breath and said to Guo Fengxian: "Thank you, brother, you saved my life."

"This is not a place you should stay, go back." Guo Fengxian said: "After these shells are shot, the rebels should come up."

Robert shook his head: "I am a war correspondent, and this is my battle post."

"Note, the Italian army is coming!" A lookout post issued an early warning.

Guo Fengxian poked his head out and could see that there were rolling smoke and dust on the far horizon. Dozens of small CV33 ultra-light tanks rumbled up.

During World War II, the general view was that the German tanks were powerful, the Soviet tanks were strong and durable, while the island countries' tanks were simply small cans.

However, this is completely wronged by the Japanese. In fact, it is smaller than the tanks of the island country and it definitely exists in this era. This is the cute and funny little tank of the Italians.

How small is it? Intuitive picture comparison, it is like two people sitting side by side on a sofa, then covering the surroundings with armor, and installing tracks on both sides. Well, that's about it.

Its total combat weight is only about 3 tons, 3.2 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 1.32 meters high. To illustrate it vividly, we can take the most familiar car QQ in later generations as an example. The length, width and height of QQ are 3.55 meters, 1.495 meters and 1.485 meters respectively. After comparison, you can find that this kind of tank is smaller than QQ!

So, this is almost a convertible, with two members, one driver, and one commander, one machine gunner, and the two are almost half-squat.

The weapon is configured as a dual-mounted 8mm machine gun. The riveted armor is only 9mm thick. Sometimes, rivets fly around after being shot. These knocked rivets kill many members like bullets flying at high speed.

Although there are many imperfections, this is still the most powerful tank of the Noodle Army. In history, they have equipped thousands of vehicles.

This is no wonder Italy, after all, Italy has limited industrial capacity. Therefore, when the Italians purchased the Caden-Royd ultra-light tank from the UK, that is, an iron box with tracks, a little pitiful armor protection, and a machine gun, Italy favored it. After imitation and improvement, it made the CV29 ultra-light tank, which was later improved to become CV33.

The 41-horsepower engine roared, and the cute little tank started its attack, and the Italian soldiers following behind were all taller than this tank!

Tank! No matter what, this weapon is a tank!

"Dadada." The machine gun of the CV33 small tank spit out a string of flames. Although this tank is small, it can still serve as a moving machine gun fire point.

Flying bullets shot towards the trench here, making everyone unable to raise their heads.

"We have to blow it up!" Guo Fengxian said: "Machine gunner, cover me!"

Guo Fengxian put down his rifle and quickly tied up several grenades together. Then, he rushed out of the trench in the rain of bullets.

"Crack!" Robert grabbed his camera and recorded this precious moment. In the rain of bullets, a Chinese soldier from the international column jumped out of the trench. How courage did he have!

After Guo Fengxian jumped out of the trench, he ran quickly, and his body was constantly changing directions.

The machine gunner also found him on the tank in front, and instantly, the dense bullets shot towards Guo Fengxian.

Guo Fengxian fell down.

Robert's hand hit the trench hard. Although he knew that it was normal for death in the battle, he still felt a kind of sadness and anger as he watched the fresh life fall.

Just now, the warrior who saved his own life was sacrificed like this!

The tank was still rumbling. Just when it was about to reach Guo Fengxian's side, it was seen that Guo Fengxian suddenly got up, and in his hand, smoked, tied it into a bundle of grenades, and threw it under the tank.

Good thing!

"Boom!" During the explosion, this small cute tank was blown into a pile of scrap iron.

A tank was completely destroyed by a bundle of grenades! The armor was twisted, the tracks were broken, and the engine behind it caught fire the next second.
