Chapter 333 21st Armored Battalion
"Boom!" The shell passed through the locomotive's carriage armor and got into it. Then, amid the violent explosion, the upper boiler exploded!
The motorcycle driver screamed, his skin cracked in an instant, and the hot water in the boiler made him shed in an instant!
As the boiler exploded, the armored train slowly stopped. For the Black Panther Tank, it was a prey!
"Poles, go die!" Weitman's roar could be heard throughout the battlefield: "Avenge our heads of state!"
revenge!
The tank gun opened fire violently and hit the carriage behind. The Polish soldiers inside jumped out of it and ran back quickly.
Some people also drilled into the woods, but unfortunately, they didn't know that the German infantry on both sides were already waiting for them!
When the armored train was on the field just now, it was so majestic that the bullets were like pouring, which made the German armored grenadiers dare not even raise their heads, and many others were shot. Now, these Polish soldiers jumped off the armored train, and can they let them go?
Kill them all!
With the destruction of this armored train, a large hole appeared in the middle of the Polish cavalry brigade's defense line. The German armored legion could conquer Mokra in one fell swoop as long as he advanced quickly from this huge hole!
And the Poles, of course, wouldn't just watch the position fall!
When the Germans were attacking the central part with all their might, the brigade commander Felipovitz immediately ordered a quick reinforcement. The armored train arrived first with the advantage of railway maneuvering, but unfortunately it still did not stop it. However, after all, it bought time for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements.
At this time, the 21st Armored Battalion of Poland was ready to fight against the village behind the woods.
In the woods, tanks are not easy to pass quickly, so if the German tank troops want to come out, they can only pass quickly from the open space on both sides of the railway track in the middle.
In this way, they can only pass two at a time. Then, just ambush outside the woods, come and take one, and hit one!
The German tanks were very strong and could not be destroyed from the front, but it would definitely be much easier to strike from the side!
The No. 53 armored train was famous in history. It walked everywhere on the entire Polish railway, supporting various key points, and was finally captured by the Germans and not destroyed.
Because in history, the combat targets of this kind of armored train were tanks No. 1 and No. 2, as well as light tanks like the Czech Republic 3, but now? The combat target was replaced by the 40-ton Black Panther 3, which is not a competition of the same level at all!
The main force of the Polish army is cavalry, but like other countries, there are still tanks in the Polish army.
In fact, Polish tanks are at most called iron chariots.
Poland does have tanks, but what can be called tanks is at most 98 7TP tanks equipped with the first and second independent reconnaissance armored companies and the first light chariot battalion. This is a tank based on the body of the British Vickers, including a double turret type 7TPD type without artillery and only machine guns.
The other tanks are tks-like, and these armored forces are divided into cavalry brigades and infantry divisions. It can be said that although they are similar to tanks 35(t), 38(t), 1 and 2, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the German army.
The current 21st Armored Battalion is equipped with TKS-type tanks. According to historical progress, this Armored Battalion in Poland is almost fed to the German army for free.
But now, there have been some changes from history.
During the Spanish Civil War, the strong combat effectiveness of the German armored forces put pressure on many countries. First-class British and French countries are developing their armored forces at full speed. For countries like Poland, they can only transform existing tanks.
So, after careful research, they decided to install a 37mm Bofos anti-tank gun for their TKS tank!
In fact, in history, the Polish Army had such an improvement plan called the TKS-D tank. At that time, only two prototype vehicles were built. Most of the TKS tanks were equipped with machine guns, and only a very small number were equipped with 20mm tank guns.
But now, the Polish Army has changed its clothes on a large scale, and the main TKS tanks are all 37mm!
In terms of gun caliber, 37 mm is not big. When they saw the German tanks starting to carry a 75 mm long gun barrel, they knew that they had been behind a long time ago. Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to carry a large gun barrel for the tks with a narrow body, and a 37 mm gun barrel is already against the will.
Therefore, they did not think that they could penetrate the front armor of the Black Panther tank, which was an impossible task, but it was still possible to penetrate the side of the Black Panther tank!
Especially, in each tank, there are five tungsten core armor-piercing bombs! This is their treasure!
If you want to penetrate the opponent's armor, you need a strong elastic core. Generally speaking, it is a steel core, and the one that is better than the steel core is of course a tungsten core!
It’s a pity that tungsten armor-piercing bombs are particularly expensive, and for countries without tungsten ore, they are easily restricted during war times, so they have not been widely circulated.
Now, the tanks of the 21st Armored Battalion are ambushing in front of the village and on both sides of the railway. They use the haystacks in the fields to perfectly hide themselves.
The explosions in the distance stimulated their eardrums. They knew that the battle between blood and fire was about to begin!
In the turret, the shells have been loaded and are waiting for the Germans to appear!
Time passed by little by little. About twenty minutes later, at the end of the woods, a tall and mighty Black Panther tank appeared. Its speed was not fast and its turret was constantly turning. Obviously, the tank soldiers inside were very cautious.
Let it bet!
The Polish tank hand felt his heart beating faster.
As a small tank, this is a two-person system, one driver and the other do the rest of the job, the commander and the long gun loader.
At this time, the commander slowly turned the muzzle and waited patiently for the opportunity.
Weitman's tank was still rushing in front. When he suddenly realized his sight, he became alert.
The wooded area has passed through, and there has not been another blocking by the Polish troops. However, will the Poles fail so willingly? After passing through here, it is Mokra!
There is a small village in front, and there is a field here, inside, there are piles of haystacks, piled up in a very scattered manner.
Chapter completed!
