Set off!

The First Armored Regiment, walking the vanguard of the entire army, the diesel engine of the Black Panther Tank made a rumbling sound, the tracks crushed the ground, and the gun barrel was high.

Set off!

The 1st Armored Grenadier Regiment followed behind the Black Panther Tank. They used half-tracked 251 series armored personnel carriers. Each vehicle was full of energetic armored grenades! In their hands, they held MP36 submachine guns equipped with drums, and were full of fighting spirit!

Set off!

The second armored grenadiers followed closely behind, and they were equipped with four-axis-driven wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, which followed along the road opened by the vehicles in front!

Set off!

The artillery, anti-tank soldiers, gasoline vehicles, and ammunition vehicles of the division, embarked on the journey together with the army!

The entire army is mechanized! Their assault speed is quite fast!

The army left the station and watched his most elite army leave, Cialek sighed in his heart.

"The First Armored Division was dispatched? It's so great!" After receiving this news, Franco was overjoyed.

In the last meeting, after much persuasion, Cyric finally agreed to mobilize a new army, and was the most combat-effective SS in Germany! This made Franco full of expectations and he would definitely rush into Madrid!

At this time, he was very excited.

For this reason, he deliberately delayed the attack on Madrid. A month ago, he launched another tentative attack, but was defeated by Madrid's army!

Now, as long as the German armored troops come, they can have sufficient support and make every effort to enter Madrid!

Time passed by little by little, and the armored troops were still not moving up, and Franco could no longer sit still.

He ran to the road outside, stood in a truck, and looked into the direction of Cialick's station in the distance.

What about tanks? What about tanks?

The small Italian tanks cannot charge at all! Only the powerful German Black Panther tanks are not afraid of any anti-tank weapons from the other party, so they rush up and kill the other party!

The sun turned south and then slid to the west until dark, without waiting for the German armored forces.

What's going on?

Franco sat on the hood of the car in disappointment, looking at the burning clouds in the west, his face disappointed.

"General, general!" At this moment, the commander of the Central Army, Jose, hurried over and said to him: "The German armored troops are attacking Hernaresburg!"

Hernaresburg, an eastern city in Madrid, can also be said to be the eastern gate of Madrid, 35 kilometers away from Madrid.

With Madrid as the dividing line, the west is all controlled by the National Army, while the east is firmly in the hands of the Republican Army.

As an important place for material transfer, there are still a large amount of arms stored in Hernaresburg!

The Republican Army never expected that Franco's subordinates would give up attacking Madrid and raid here. Now, there are only more than a thousand people guarding here!

At dusk, the battle in Hernaresburg officially began.

"Woo, woo." The JU87 Stuka dive bomber made a sharp roar and dived towards the Republican positions on the ground. This terrifying roar immediately made the Republican soldiers on the ground scatter.

They are afraid, and they are all in fear.

During the Spanish Civil War, the Stuka bombers brought fear to the Republican army!

"Boom!" The bomb dropped accurately hit a solid machine gun bunker on the ground. A large hole was blown up at the top of the entire concrete fortification, and half of the wall collapsed.

"Can't retreat, can't retreat!" A Republican officer tried to control his army, but when the rumbling tanks appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.

Those tanks look so scary! The tall and mighty guy, his sturdy body, and his tall gun barrel are all so powerful.

That is simply invincible!

Inside the Black Panther 1 tank numbered 006, the commander Mitchell Weitmann looked at everything outside through the observation window.

He was a tall and handsome German man, wearing a straight armored soldier uniform and a military cap of a ship.

If you watch documentaries or photos from World War II, you can find a very interesting phenomenon. Soviet tank soldiers wore thick tank caps, even if they were not until later, such as when they arrived at the T-72, they had this kind of equipment.

Why is this? Of course I am afraid of hitting my head!

The tank is in a bumpy state while moving. If you don’t pay attention, your head will easily bump into something. If you have not entered the inside of the tank, if you enter for the first time, even if the tank does not move, it will easily hit your head.

However, there are no German tank soldiers, and they also have special tank caps issued. However, many times, they directly wear their handsome military caps.

Why?

From the outside, you can tell that the tank's posture is that six pairs of large-diameter load-bearing wheels are shaking up and down, and through the torsion bar, they constantly buffer the impact force, while the tank's body does not shake much.

The torsion rod is the key to the Black Panther tank! After repeated debugging, the suspension system of the Black Panther tank is moderately soft and hard, and it travels smoothly. In addition to this reason, if you enter the inside of the tank, you can find that the interior space of the Black Panther tank is relatively large.

Moreover, there are also leather soft pads on the inner side wall!

The German craftsman spirit and the pursuit of excellence in tank quality can be reflected in these aspects.

Another reason is that Weitmann's head is wearing headphones in addition to a military cap!

Compared with Soviet tanks, German tanks have been equipped with radios as standard, and all tanks have radios!

Therefore, wearing a military cap makes it easy to hang headphones, but if it is a thick tank cap, it is impossible to hang headphones.

Weitmann was also excited inside. After training for several years, he has finally entered the battlefield! As the son of a German farmer, Weitmann has always had the ideal of serving the country.

Weitmann was born on April 22, 1914 in Fogsso, near Baier-Englis, Upper Pfaz.

Historically, he served in the "German Labor Army" in 1934 and later served in the 10th Company of the 19th Infantry Regiment.

On April 5, 1937, he joined the armed SS and received driver training. He was promoted to sergeant in the Battle of Poland and commanded an 8-wheeled armored vehicle. In February 1940, he was transferred to the SS "Adolf Hitler" brigade assault artillery battalion and commanded 6 No. III assault artillery.

Now, his life trajectory has also taken a big turn. In 34 years, he joined the 1st Armored Division of the SS and became a tank soldier.
