February 14, 39.
This is a special day. The whole western countries are celebrating Valentine's day.
If you have a lover, live with a lover. If you don't have a lover, find a lover. If you can't find a lover, live with your left hand. In short, you must be happy on this day.
However, for many people, this day is destined to be a busy day.
Now, for example, in a French port, an army is slowly moving down from the ship.
"Buzz, buzz." The sound of the engine was rumbling, and a small looking tank was moving down from the ship.
The turret of this tank is small and cylindrical. The weapons on it are so simple that there is only one machine gun. Below, the balanced suspension device is more special in shape. A row of small load wheels look like a weak chicken.
At this time, the driver is stepping on the accelerator, and the Ford 8-cylinder gasoline engine at the rear is rumbling. Unfortunately, only 70 horsepower, even the accelerator, is not enough.
This is the tank that Britain only equipped for the army last year, Matilda 1.
The total combat weight of this tank is 11 tons, with 2 crew members. The vehicle is 4.85 meters long, 2.29 meters wide and 1.87 meters high.
It can be seen that the size and total combat weight are very small, which is an absolute light tank.
The only weapon is the 12.7mm machine gun, and its maximum speed is only 12.8km/h. It can be said that a healthy snail can compete with it.
Compared with other weaknesses, this tank has disproportionate protection. The armor thickness on the front of the body is up to 60mm, and the steel armor around the turret is 65mm thick. Needless to say, even the current main battle tank, Panther 3 of Germany, is not 65mm thick on the side.
This is entirely caused by different combat ideas. Although the British invented the tank, the British have their own set of ways to use the tank.
The British military divided tanks into infantry tanks, ocean cruising tanks and light tanks.
As an infantry tank, the driving speed should not be very high, as long as the infantry charging on foot can keep up with it; It is not required to have strong attack power. As long as the tank weapon has a machine gun, it is enough. However, armor protection must be strong.
In other words, infantry tanks are typical mobile machine gun fire points.
This idea led to the emergence of the current "Matilda" type 1 tank.
While making this tank, Britain also realized that it might fall behind. Therefore, they immediately developed type 2 tank, using 40mm tank gun, and the total weight increased to 27 tons, which is regarded as a medium-sized tank.
Now, this "advanced" tank produces 139 tanks in total, and the main equipment is given to the first armored division of Britain.
The British armored forces were established very late. In 1934, Britain established the first tank brigade, and the famous Herbert became the brigade commander.
In 37 years, it began to plan to establish the first armored division, which was established by the then chief of staff Archibald Montgomery massenberg in the name of "mobile division".
At first, it was envisaged that this division would have jurisdiction over the 1st and 2nd light armored brigades, the 1st army tank brigade, and auxiliary forces such as artillery, engineers and signal troops.
Unfortunately, Britain's backwardness in tanks has frustrated all their ideas.
Now, the Division has a light armored brigade equipped with light tanks and ocean cruising tanks, and a tank brigade equipped with ocean cruising tanks. Due to the insufficient number of cruising tanks, most of the two brigades are light tanks in terms of equipment.
That is, the current "Matilda" type 1 tank.
(it's also said that Vickers mk.vi tank. I'd like to know a lot about it.)
Now, the tank troops of the first armored brigade of the first armored division appear in the port. They came to France from mainland England to participate in the military parade tomorrow.
It's a tiring job!
After the outbreak of the Polish war, the British Ministry of Defense issued an emergency order, so the first armored brigade trained in the station began a rush. They started to the port, loaded the ship, swayed all the way, and came here. Next, they had to continue on the road of France.
It seems that you don't have to sleep tonight.
First, this title is very proud. For the first armored division and the first armored brigade, this title is even heavier. I think of them every time I parade.
Cruz, the tank driver, stepped on the accelerator hard, as if to vent his dissatisfaction. His head showed and looked at the road ahead.
"Come on, we must catch up with tomorrow's military parade!" Not far away, standing on a wheeled off-road vehicle, brigade commander hebart shouted with a big horn.
Many radio stations were not fully equipped with these tanks, and Herbert could only call on his troops in this way.
Unlike in history, Herbert did not withdraw from active service. After all, the German armored forces put great pressure on the British army. Britain needs people who really understand armor, and Herbert is definitely an armor expert. You know, the current tank was developed under the auspices of Herbert.
Herbert was an active advocate of the "omnipotent theory of tank forces" in Britain, and published many papers on armored warfare. At the same time, he also experimented and verified with the armored forces, and became one of the pioneers of the British armored warfare theory.
Unfortunately, his character is eccentric, extreme and unsociable. In history, he had to withdraw from active service before World War II. In the eyes of the British army, of course, armored soldiers also need cavalry generals to command.
Until the outbreak of World War II, he served as the chief of the British national defense volunteer army and later promoted to the regional head of the volunteer army. By chance, Prime Minister Churchill discovered Herbert's extraordinary talent, so he overcame public opinion and "reinstated Herbert".
Now, Herbert has not retired and made no progress. He is still in the position of commander of his armored brigade.
Compared with his subordinates, he was also angry, but he was more worried.
German troops continue to wreak havoc on Polish territory, and according to the original agreement, Britain needs to support Poland.
This time, they set foot on the land of France in the name of the exercise. His armored brigade came first and other troops of the first armored division later.
After the drill? Probably, they need to go to the front. Now, can his first armored brigade compete with the German armored division?
Although Herbert was arrogant, he was absolutely not arrogant. He knew that the tanks equipped by his troops had long been out of date.
German tanks have both the protection of infantry tanks and the mobility of ocean cruising tanks. How did they do it? Against Panther tanks, Herbert had no confidence.
Now, looking at his tank soldiers, he was furious: "Cruz, you fool, don't go on the road and crush the roads in France. We want to lose money!"
