Historically, when Germany invaded Poland, it used the ace 4th armored division to deal with mocra. Want to conquer this place in one fell swoop.

Although the battle of mocra lasted only one day, it was the most intense battle in the German Polish war.

The German army lost 160 tanks and armored vehicles and more than 800 casualties on the mocra battlefield. The Polish cavalry brigade lost more than 500 people, more than 980 horses were killed, and a considerable number of tanks and trucks were lost.

It can be seen how embarrassed the Germans are. Although these tanks are mainly backward No. 1 and No. 2 tanks, it is absolutely embarrassing to fight like this.

At present, the German army still uses the armored division to attack mocra, but compared with history, it has been replaced by an elite SS armored division, and the main battle tanks have also changed completely.

The reconnaissance troops retreated quickly. At the same time, they used the radio to send an alarm to the troops behind them.

The Polish cavalry has been deployed in the woods to the west of morassia, waiting for the German army to go!

After receiving the news, Kurt, the division commander of the skeleton division, had no expression. He gave orders to his troops. The fifth Armored Regiment in front immediately pushed forward and crushed all the poles!

The scouts have detected the enemy's position. At the same time, they have also detected that the enemy has no time to deploy mines. As long as there are no anti tank mines, there is nothing to fear!

Knowing that there were poles in front, everyone was very excited, especially the 6 company of the 2 battalion in the front!

Weitman's tank is rumbling. If it is a gasoline engine in history, he needs to stop and refuel now. However, the diesel tank gives the advantage of large travel. His tank, the oil in the tank, and more than half!

After this battle, it's not too late to refuel!

"Forward, forward!" Waitman shouted loudly. His voice was very loud in the roaring tank.

Panther 3 tanks rushed forward, crossed the farmland, crossed the gullies, and in front of them was the forest!

The woods in front were always quiet, as if the enemy had fled. Without any fear, weitman ordered his troops to move forward at a high speed!

Closer and closer to the woods, closer and closer.

In the woods, the Polish cavalry clenched their teeth. There were so many tanks that they couldn't see their heads. The impact array would make the recruits feel afraid. Even the old cavalry who had been tested by the war began to frown.

"Fire!" Suddenly, there was an order from behind.

The artillery of the cavalry brigade suddenly opened fire violently at this time!

After arriving here, they immediately determined the firing data. When the tank troops rushed 150 meters away from the woods, it was exactly the interception position they determined!

With the order, a door of artillery, began to roar violently.

"Boom!" The 37 mm cannon has a short range. They are cleverly deployed and can just hit the Germans!

German, try the Polish cannon!

A shell, with a sharp roar, rushed to the leading tank.

"Bang!" The shell hit heavily on the gun shield of panther 3 tank, and the whole tank shook.

But it was just a shake!

At this time, weitman has quickly found the target: "straight ahead, 300 meters away, two secret positions to the right, grenade, put it!"

"Boom!" The body of the tank trembled, and a fireball burst out at the muzzle. At the front of the fireball, a 75mm howitzer flew out of the gun bore and straight to the opposite 37mm cannon position!

The 75mm tank gun has now been discontinued.

The Panther 3 tanks produced in the early stage are all long tube 75mm tank guns. The biggest feature of this tank gun is that the trajectory is particularly straight! This is the advantage of large diameter!

But at the same time, the long tube also brings other problems. For example, because the gun tube is long, when crossing the forest, you should be extra careful not to bend the gun tube. For another example, when processing, because the gun tube is too long, it is very difficult to process, low production and high cost.

Therefore, after Krupp successfully transplanted the 88mm anti-aircraft gun for air defense, the 75mm long tube tank gun was stopped under the approval of Chirac. All the Panther 3 tanks produced later used the 88mm tank gun with 56 times the diameter!

In terms of cost, the cost of a long tube 75mm tank gun is equivalent to that of two 88mm tank guns! In terms of firepower, the armor piercing ability of the long tube 75mm tank gun is almost the same as that of the 88mm tank gun.

However, in terms of development potential, the 88 mm tank gun can hold more propellant, and the potential is certainly greater.

For skilled tankers, they still miss this long tube 75mm tank gun. In the case of rich experience, they don't need to calculate any variables!

With the roar of tank guns, 75mm howitzers quickly flew past, quite accurate. The 37mm cannon position opposite was immediately in a mess. Several soldiers screamed and were lifted by the huge wave of explosion.

In history, when fighting Poland, German tanks were only 37 mm guns, but now, long tube 75 mm guns are absolutely sadistic!

Artillery bombardment requires courage and ability!

While the 37mm cannon opened fire, the 75mm mountain gun in the hands of the Polish artillery also opened fire!

Shanpao is an old-fashioned gun. Although it has a large caliber, its gun barrel is very short. Since it is called shanpao, it is actually easy to disassemble and transport and fight in mountainous areas. Therefore, it has a small weight and looks less powerful than 37mm gun.

Because the barrel is short, the trajectory is curved, similar to a howitzer.

Now, there are dozens of German tanks rushing up, and the artillery in front has only a dozen guns. In the eyes of German tanks, they are not enough to plug their teeth!

Weitman rushed to the front and destroyed two guns, while the tanks behind didn't even get anything. They were very dissatisfied.

"Put them into the woods and prepare the flasks!" The head of the cavalry regiment quickly gave orders. As a veteran, he knew that his guns didn't work at all. The German tanks were too strong!

These own guns can't tear apart the other party's armor at all, so they can only lure the enemy into depth! Enter the woods and the tank won't open!

The armored train hasn't arrived yet! He is already a little anxious.

The cavalry pretended to be defeated, left their positions and retreated back. In fact, they were ready. When the German tanks entered the woods, they would turn around and use incendiary bottles to deal with the Germans!
