Seeing Rommel getting on the infantry chariot, Fink was stunned: "general, you can't go there. It's too dangerous. Your command post is here!"

Here are Panther tanks, which are quite strong. So far, we have not found that the enemy's artillery can destroy it.

Swimming across the river is the most dangerous. Although the infantry combat vehicle has the ability to navigate on the water, it will be hit by the other party at any time.

"Where the troops are, my command post is there!" Rommel's handsome face was full of determination at this time: "we are soldiers, we can't be afraid of danger!"

With that, Rommel stepped on the infantry chariot and got into the gun tower.

Seeing Rommel get on the infantry chariot, all the infantry were excited. The commander of the infantry chariot, veteran critt, who is already 40, was even more excited.

"General, welcome to our infantry chariot."

"Well, now, let's go!" Cried Rommel.

set out!

At this time, the rumbling gunfire was still ringing. With the gunfire, the fire points on the other side were destroyed.

The river bank here is not steep. The front wheel of the infantry combat vehicle first enters the water, and then the rear wheel. When the engine makes a rumbling sound, but the wheel is obviously spinning, it means that it has taken off the ground.

Put on the water system, the two propellers at the tail rotate, the whole car body starts to move forward.

The front end of the car body shakes up the wave board. If you look from the outside, you can find that the whole car body is almost submerged in the water. After all, this is a steel chariot. It's very good to float.

Only the upper turret was exposed, while Rommel was half sitting on the turret.

The whole car body is sealed, but there will still be river water seeping in from the outside. After all, it is not as tightly sealed as the ship.

Soon, at the bottom of the armored vehicle, it gathered into small puddles.

"Start the drain pump." Shouted the conductor Crete.

It's not terrible for the water to come in, as long as it is pumped out. This is almost the most correct treatment method for future amphibious armored vehicles. It's too expensive to completely seal the body without leakage. It's better to pump out the water as it is now.

In fact, after the invention of the tank weapon, there was the idea of making the tank have the ability of water navigation. In the early stage, buoys were used and hung outside the tank to make the light tank float successfully.

But it's not practical.

Various countries are still developing amphibious equipment, but most of them have nothing to do. Although the Soviet Union continues to develop and gradually matures, it is a pity that the level of the Soviet Union is still relatively backward.

This heavy armored vehicle in Germany has fully matured.

The launching of these armored vehicles surprised the French army opposite.

What's that?

Originally, they had observed that the opposite side was inflating the rubber boat. They thought the other party's equipment for crossing the river would be rubber boats. As a result, these armored vehicles directly launched!

What should I do?

The artillery fire on the opposite side was still rumbling. Many French soldiers dared not raise their heads. When they occasionally showed their heads and saw the monsters on the water, they were even more frightened.

German, why are you so sick? How can we fight this war?

"General, the Germans are crossing the river!" In the headquarters here, Cora, commander of the 9th group army, also received reports from his subordinates.

The Germans crossed the river. They actually used armored vehicles to cross the river!

"Fire, all weapons, fire together, destroy the Germans in the river!" Cried general Cora.

What are you waiting for at this time? Fire!

German artillery can't destroy everything. For example, a hutchkas 25mm anti tank gun deployed in the grass has never been found by the other party.

This anti tank gun was the main anti tank weapon used by French infantry at the beginning of World War II. A total of 6000 guns were built.

It is definitely not a heavy weapon. You know, a 25mm caliber is a nondescript thing. However, the advantage of a small caliber is that its weight is very light. With a gun rack or something, its total weight is only 480KG. A gun crew can easily push it. Even, when it is transferred, several people can directly lift it to the car.

The artillery team was well concealed. They never fired, not because they were afraid to fight, but because they couldn't reach it.

This anti tank gun has a very obvious disadvantage. Its range is only one kilometer!

The range of tank to tank fire is 1000 meters. From this data, this anti tank gun has no major shortcomings. However, you know, even the browning heavy machine gun has an effective range of 1800 meters. The German MG34 machine gun has a range of 2000 meters!

The river is only about 1500 meters wide, but they are deployed on the shore, and there is a distance of about 500 meters, so it is about 2000 meters.

They were waiting quietly. When the German armored vehicles on the water moved to the middle of the river, they could finally fire!

"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, a 25mm armor piercing projectile flew to the armored vehicle in the river! The counterattack of the French army has begun!

The target they shot at was the leading armored vehicle. At this time, there was an officer on the turret above the armored vehicle!

Rommel is not afraid of death, nor is he reckless. He is just used to taking the lead in combat. Especially now, what they need is courage!

If he leads the armed SS, he doesn't have to give orders at all. However, this is only an ordinary armored division in the army. This division has been reorganized recently. It can be said that the morale in the army is not as high as he thought.

Moreover, Rommel has not won the respect of these soldiers! Although military law makes them respect their superiors, only when they have fought together can they really win the respect of soldiers.

For example, Rommel leads the troops to charge together. He has seen the respect in the eyes of young men. The officials are charging. They are even more afraid of death!

Rommel's front end was a shield, and there was an MG34 machine gun on the shield. When flames came out of the muzzle opposite, he immediately found it.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss", the quick eyed Rommel, immediately pushed his machine gun and pulled the trigger. In the sound of high-speed rotation like a chainsaw, 7.92mm machine gun bullets roared past!

(don't make complaints about it. Rommel in History) did so in this battle, but he was riding a rubber dinghy.
