The United States is not to blame.
For countries like the United States, the threat on the mainland is very small. Therefore, the main development of the United States is the Navy and army air force, which do not pay much attention to the original ground weapons.
As a result, the German's gallop in Europe surprised the Americans. France, known as "the first army power in Europe", was quickly defeated under the impact of German armor clusters. This has been listed as the topic of papers by various militarists.
Tanks are already the most terrible existence in this era, and the U.S. Army, which lacks modern anti tank guns, has a strong sense of crisis. The U.S. Department of ordnance began to develop new anti tank guns.
It must be too late to develop from scratch. Therefore, Americans and Germans have the same idea. They develop a new anti tank gun based on T9 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun. After all, anti-aircraft gun and anti tank gun have the same characteristics, high chamber pressure, high muzzle velocity and straight trajectory.
They brought the anti-aircraft guns in a hurry, but they lacked a suitable gun frame, and it was too late to develop a new gun frame.
Exactly, the M2 105mm howitzer has just been installed. Therefore, the hungry Ordnance Department can only temporarily cram the T9 76.2mm anti-aircraft gun on the M2 gun rack to form this unique M5 anti tank gun.
It is equipped with the gun frame of the howitzer, which is the source of the pit father!
Anti tank guns usually pursue low profile, which is conducive to concealment, while howitzers do not have such requirements. Therefore, the M5 anti tank gun, which looks tall and powerful, will simply be a live target of the enemy's tanks!
The US Army is disgusted with this kind of thing. Needless to say, it is not easy to get this kind of gun to the front line!
However, the Ordnance Department disagreed. The German 88mm anti-aircraft guns can be leveled to fight tanks. Why not use their own 76.2mm anti-aircraft guns?
The project was eventually submitted to lieutenant general Leslie James McNair of the ground forces command.
The general paid more attention to anti tank warfare, but his military thought was conservative and rigid. He was born in the artillery, so he loved towed artillery and thought that the cost of tank destroyers was too high.
Therefore, when he saw the M5 76.2mm anti tank gun, he almost immediately ordered it to be put into production!
After the first batch was produced, it was not hidden and pulled to the battlefield in the Middle East. We want to test the effectiveness of this anti tank gun. In particular, can it directly compete with German tanks?
If so, the U.S. Army can breathe a sigh of relief.
Now, after these anti tank guns are hurriedly pushed to the position, British soldiers can at least breathe a sigh of relief. No matter how the shape of this gun looks against the sky, at least the long barrel of this gun gives people a sense of security. Now, don't be afraid of German tanks anymore?
One after another, anti tank guns continued to move to the position to supplement the deficiency of the defense line, and the hearts of British soldiers became more and more secure.
Moreover, the arrival of a large number of American reinforcements means that the attack and defense on the battlefield will gradually reverse!
"Dinner, dinner!" After the anti tank gun was installed, a sound came from behind. With the sound, they smelled a fragrance.
"The smell of beef!" Godfrey said excitedly that their supplies were not enough, especially when more and more soldiers arrived here.
Now, it's nice to have beef!
"American cans, one box per person!" The fire leader in charge of food distribution said: "the supplies from the United States have arrived. We don't have to worry about logistics. Let's open our stomach and eat. We can eat cans for every meal in the future!"
During World War II, when American soldiers complained about eating canned beef every day, British soldiers were envious.
Now, they are also happy.
Mike took the first step, took two cans, handed gefrey a box, and then saw the production date on it.
1914.
"God, this is a can from World War I!"
When macton was a little speechless, how did the Americans provide this kind of thing?
"Eat. It's good to have a can." Godfrey opened the can, picked out a piece of minced beef with a bayonet and put it in his mouth. It's good. It's still authentic!
Sealed cans can be preserved for many years. You can rest assured that it is a good meal to put it in bread.
However, no one knows that for many people, this is their last meal.
Seeing Geoffrey gulping, Mike gave up his vigilance and began to gulp.
Just after two bites, Geoffrey's ears suddenly stood up. He heard the unique scream in the air. It was the sound of high-speed shells cutting through the air!
"Damn it, it's shelling. Come on, get into the bunker!"
With gefrey's cry, countless flying rockets appeared in the distant sky, just like the arrow rain in ancient times!
Chirac organ! When he saw this kind of thing, gefrey was a burst of fear.
Recruits are afraid of guns and veterans are afraid of machine guns. However, whether recruits or veterans, they are afraid of rockets. This kind of thing is a covering attack. As long as they fly over, there is no grass in the covered area, and no life can survive!
The surrounding scene was immediately chaotic. Everyone was looking for a suitable shelter everywhere. At this time, those rockets had already flown!
"Boom, boom, boom!" When it came into contact with the ground, it exploded. With the explosion, pieces of land were lifted up.
Trenches were buried, ammunition boxes were detonated, various fortifications collapsed one after another, accompanied by screams, countless lives disappeared at this time.
The first round of German artillery coverage is quite fierce! Rommel is not only repairing, but also waiting for the arrival of these ammunition. Now, he can finally have a good time!
The first round of artillery coverage lasted 15 minutes. In addition to rockets, all kinds of howitzers also greeted the British positions. The British defensive positions seemed to have been ploughed.
However, in the process, the British artillery did not dare to fight back.
The Germans in the sky, if they fire, expose the target. After a few minutes, Stuka will scream and drop the death bomb.
Finally, the fire stopped.
"Come on, come on, go back to your position. The Germans will come up soon!" Shouted the commander in the position.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
