Sdkfz is the abbreviation of German sonderkraftfahrzeug, which means special motor vehicle. In World War II, sdkfz251 armored conveyor vehicle was developed with the chassis of 3thlkl6 semi tracked conveyor vehicle of bogwad company, and this chassis was developed with the chassis of D7 semi tracked conveyor vehicle weighing only 1t.

The combat weight of this semi tracked armored transport vehicle is 8.5 tons. The car is equipped with 2 passengers, i.e. driver and conductor, and can also accommodate 10 passengers. Just the standard of an infantry squad.

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

The engine of the vehicle is the same as that of sdkfz250 armored transport vehicle. It adopts Maybach hl42tukrm engine, with power of 100 hp and maximum speed of 55 km / h. It is placed in the front of the vehicle body to open the tail door behind the vehicle body. However, in order to enable the driver to have a wide field of view, the inclination of the top of the engine room is specially increased. The transmission has 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.

There are 6 load wheels on each side of the vehicle body, the driving wheel is in the front, the inducer wheel is in the back, and the load wheels are staggered. The track is a metal track with rubber pad. The track grounding length is 1.8m and the track width is 280mm.

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

Speaking of the reason, it's also embarrassing.

Even without Chirac, the German army attaches great importance to the development of tanks. Chirac was able to take a group of people to Libya with the intention of the German military.

However, under the circumstances at that time, I didn't know what hilrick could make, so the German military didn't stop its own research and invested funds to make a project such as tank 1.

However, compared with the Panther tank made by Shrek, it fell behind in an instant!

Therefore, the German army knew that their development had fallen behind! In terms of tanks, the German army doesn't have to worry about whether it has fallen behind in the last decade!

Therefore, the military simply shifted direction. In addition to tanks, there are other equipment!

This sdkfz250 armored transport vehicle is a project developed by the military in recent years! Since you play tricks on tanks, you have to make some achievements on armored vehicles, don't you?

Xierik has been very busy. Only recently did he see that in the materials reported by the equipment department, he has completed all the research work, typed the report ready for use, and prepared to produce 1000 vehicles in advance and deliver them to the German army. At that time, xierik was not very satisfied with this model, but later approved it.

What's not satisfactory? Of course, it's still the kind of staggered load wheels! This thing, after being equipped with troops, is a nightmare. It is very difficult to maintain!

Fortunately, this is a light vehicle, with a weight of less than 10 tons, which is much lighter than tanks. Since the army has done everything, let them toss on by themselves!

Then, on the basis of this armored transport vehicle, with a slight improvement, it can become an sdkfz251 armored transport vehicle specially equipped for armored Grenadier!

Even, it can be said that if Shrek signs an order to let any one of the bussing nag, viselshut, womag, weigman, lizscher and dutscher factories produce, he can be sent to the first armored division next month!

In addition to the staggered load-bearing wheels, the way the top is open also makes xirick quite dissatisfied, but now, xirick knows that what he needs most is to produce it first!

It has been nearly ten years since the first group of people went to the desert! How many decades can there be in life? They must not wait any longer!

Now, sir produced sdkfz251 armored transport vehicle, and then gradually developed new infantry combat vehicles. Shirek has already thought of these.

After all, half tracked vehicles can only be used for emergency and can not fully adapt to the environment. Moreover, they are called armored transport vehicles. It can be said that they are mainly used for transportation, not real infantry combat vehicles!

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

Well, these work should start!

"I'll arrange the armored vehicle immediately." "Next month, a batch will be delivered. Within three months, all armored vehicles will be fully equipped," said Shrek

"Great!" Sherner couldn't help shouting.

In fact, they have been responding to their superiors about armored vehicles, but every time they reply, all the tanks have been given to you. What's your hurry?

During this period of time, the newly established first armored division of the SS actually has a rather awkward position.

The IDF is extremely dissatisfied with them. Originally, the IDF was the only military unit in Germany. Now they are expanding from 100000 to 150000, which requires a large increase in military spending.

At the same time, they are also staring at the latest Panther tank! They wanted to equip this powerful tank with priority in their troops. As a result, it was all given to the first armored division of the SS!

The cost of 100000 marks of panther 1, after the cost is reduced, is also close to 80000 marks of Panther 2, all to the SS! Everyone is jealous. At this time, do you still want armored vehicles? no way!

In history, the SS was Himmler's, of course Himmler would decide and give them priority to all kinds of equipment, but now it has nothing to do with Himmler and has become hirick's! And Shrek, still in America!

So, after countless reports, the armored vehicle still didn't affect, just equipped with civilian transport trucks!

Now, Shrek is back and someone will support them all at once!

Within three months, the armored vehicles will be equipped! Those IDF guys must be jealous! Hum, let them be jealous! You are the first division!

"Well, let's talk about armored vehicles first." "What do you think of the light weapons you use now?" said Shrek

Over the past few years, Shrek has been running around, thinking about all kinds of major events. Now, when he came to the front-line army, Shrek suddenly found that there was still a big problem to be solved.

So far, the main force in the front line still uses Mauser rifles!
