Alaman, a desert in northern Egypt, is 100 kilometers west of Alexandria. Although it is a desert, there are still some topographic fluctuations, and Montgomery's army is stationed here.
From north to south, there is a defense line of about 50 kilometers. In the north, there is mount Aisha, the central part is the ruvisha mountain, and the southern part is the mitria mountain. Historically, these areas were originally occupied by Rommel, but now, Montgomery, who arrived here first, has built it into his fortification, They are quietly waiting for the German army to attack. It seems that the Germans have been attacking all the time throughout the war.
North, Mount Aisha.
Corporal Geoffrey leaned quietly against his fortification. He was a machine gunner. Here was a machine gun position. In front of him was a "Vickers" mark1 machine gun.
This old machine gun was pulled out of the military fire depot. The water-cooled barrel and canvas bullet chain, at the age of 57, are really unable to support the current war.
In fact, Godfrey is also dissatisfied with his machine gun. This is not because the machine gun is old, but because his machine gun seems redundant.
Every time the Germans attack, they are led by tank troops. Therefore, in this case, it is a better choice to deploy anti tank guns on their own positions.
What does a machine gun do? Can't break through German tank armor at all! 7.7mm machine gun bullets can't even break through the armor of an armored vehicle. Absolutely chicken ribs!
He looked at his side. The anti tank gun was deployed there. Unfortunately, it was still a 6-pound gun.
Now, the bloody facts have confirmed such a truth. 57 mm anti tank guns can not penetrate the front armor of German tanks. Therefore, their weapons are actually very poor against Germans.
Britain's newly developed 17 pound gun is enough. Unfortunately, it didn't fall into their hands at all.
"We can only hope on the anti tank mines in front of us." By his side, said Mike, the loader.
As a defensive position, they planted numerous anti tank mines in front of them in advance. Now, I'm afraid they can only hope that those mines will work. No one is sure how to fight them later.
"It is said that the weapons that the United States supports us are not bad." Mike continued.
Now, the whole army is spreading news that the weapons supported by the United States are coming soon. However, for many days, there is no trace. However, the German opposite has rested and will attack at any time!
Many people believe that this is a white lie of the superior, an American weapon. When will it come? I'm afraid only God knows.
Just then, the sound of the engine came from behind.
Hearing the sound, they couldn't help looking back and saw a truck rumbling up.
No, it's not time for supplies or meals. What's the truck doing?
They were wondering when they saw a cannon dragging behind the truck.
It turns out that there are new equipment! They were very happy to stand up. Looking out of the fortification, they saw the cannon. It looked tall and powerful, and the gun rack was wide enough.
No, is this a howitzer? This kind of gun is not a forward fire. It should be a support weapon in the rear. It should be put in the back!
In the eyes of the crowd, the car dragged the cannon towards the anti tank gun position just dug out on one side. Soon, the car stopped.
"Come down and work!" The monitor zanogg shouted loudly.
As he shouted, the soldiers jumped down. They almost shouted, took the gun off the truck's towing hook, and then pushed it hard towards the gun position.
"Go up and give me a hand!" Said gefrey.
Anyway, being idle is also idle. In the same trench, that is, comrades in arms. In battle, they even sacrifice themselves to protect others. Now it's more appropriate to help.
While talking, there were more than a dozen people on both sides. They pushed the gun together and finally pushed it to the gun position.
"Is this a howitzer?" "We know we don't have enough anti tank guns, so pull up the howitzers," gefrey said
The high explosive projectile of the howitzer may also blow up the tank. Unfortunately, the trajectory is different. Fighting is almost a tragic outcome. It can only be a temporary cramming.
Hearing gefrey's words, the company commander zanoge on one side spit fiercely: "no, this is an anti tank gun."
Anti tank gun? Gefreyton was so surprised that he opened his mouth: "it's impossible. This thing, this size, can be used as an anti tank gun?"
Anti tank guns often fight against enemy tanks at a distance of about 500 meters, which means that they must risk artillery fire and push the guns to the front of the position.
Therefore, the caliber of anti tank guns in this era is not large. It is just for the convenience of deployment. Two people can push and run. German 37 mm and 50 mm anti tank guns are all of this kind.
Until the later stage, because the armor of the tank became thicker and thicker, the caliber had to be increased. Even so, reducing the weight of the anti tank gun as much as possible is still the goal pursued by the designers.
But now? This thing, just pushing the gun position, made more than a dozen people work hard. It is bulky and slow. It really has no mobility.
There is still no war. If the battle starts, dragging this anti tank gun to the front position during the day is simply an impossible task. It has to be towed by truck. The driver needs more people to risk the enemy's fire if he wants to risk hail like bullets and artillery fire all the way, take it down and deploy it.
If you push near the enemy's tanks? Gefrey shook his head. It was almost death. Before firing, the enemy infantry could destroy the whole artillery squad!
"Yes, the American idea is really special." Zanogg looked at the nameplate, which clearly said make in USA, and felt a burst of greasiness.
The weapons from the United States have arrived, but they are not happy. This M5 76.2mm anti tank gun is definitely a wonderful work in the battlefield.
If it has a chassis and is a self-propelled anti tank gun, there is nothing to say. But now, this towed anti tank gun should pursue a low shape and light weight. Unfortunately, Americans simply do the opposite.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
