Chapter 135 Howitzer Hits Tanks

One thing is that the Soviets still misjudged that it was not the German tank troops coming, but the Iranian independent mechanized brigade!

Reza Khan's morale in power, Iran and Germany have a very friendly relationship. Most of the weapons in the Iranian army are purchased from Germany. For example, the main combat equipment of the mechanized brigade is the semi-tracked SDKFZ251 armored conveyor. In mountainous areas, this semi-tracked armored vehicle is fast and has low fuel consumption. It has received good reviews in the past few years of equipping Iranian troops.

At the same time, last year, they also obtained more than 20 Black Panther 2 tanks from Germany. This weapon with a self-weight of 20 tons and equipped with 50mm tank guns is also very advanced in this era.

For Germany, it was eliminated because Germany's military development was too powerful. After all, in history, when the Germans started the war, they had just developed tanks No. 1 and No. 2.

These Black Panther 2 tanks were painted with a new color by the Iranian army and became their main force. Now, this Iranian's only mechanized brigade is launching an attack on the Soviet artillery!

The Black Panther 2 tank in front was rumbling. The engines of these tanks had already reached their service life. When they were exported to Iran, they had replaced them with new engines. Now, at the best time, the engine of the tank made a rumbling sound, and the high-pressure oil pump was clattering, constantly sending diesel into the cylinder, pushing the piston, and outputting a steady stream of power.

The tanks were running in the field. They came from Tehran. The brigade commander of the Mechanized Brigade, Mehmed, sat on one of the Black Panther 3 tanks and charged with the entire army.

"Crash! Kill these Soviet devils!"

"Boom, boom!" At this moment, the Soviet artillery on the opposite side opened fire!

The shooting of the 152mm howitzer was very spectacular, even if the armor-piercing bomb was fired!

The gun barrel was very thick, and a huge fireball appeared at the muzzle, carrying a stream of black smoke. When the fireball appeared, the gun body weighing several tons was also retreating involuntarily.

The sound of cannon fire made people's ears buzz! If the airflow from the muzzle hits the ears, the eardrums of the ears may even rupture!

The blunt-headed armor-piercing projectile flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the Black Panther 2 tank opposite!

The tank troops on the opposite side showed no sign of stopping, and they were still rushing towards this side!

Although tanks also have main guns, they are only 50mm caliber. At this time, they cannot give full play to their advantages. Instead, firing will delay their progress!

Artillery soldiers have always been hiding behind the positions to fire. They are definitely not on the front line to fight for bayonets. The artillery troops are also technical troops and do not have the special strengthening of individual soldiers' combat skills.

So, once they are approached by infantry, they will be dead!

At this time, behind the Black Panther 2 tank, the Iranian soldiers were also on guard against the half-tracked infantry fighting vehicles. They were holding mp36 submachine guns and carrying 75 rounds of drums on them. As long as the armored vehicles sent them to the battlefield, the submachine guns in their hands could give the enemy the most violent blow!

The Soviet artillery fire and the first round of volleys made their artillery positions full of smoke. When the smoke dissipated, Major Ivan was depressed to find that the hit rate was zero and none of them hit!

"Let it be closer and open fire again at a distance of one thousand meters!" Major Ivan shouted.

The howitzers have a long range. When they fire grenades, they can hit ten kilometers away. Therefore, the artillery soldiers just opened fire with all their might, which seemed to be fine. However, they fired armor-piercing bombs, which required accurate shooting. At this time, the distance is too far and the hit rate is too poor, so they must hit directly!

The gunners continued to load, and the artillery squad leader was extremely nervous to point his cannons to clearly shoot the various elements. Compared with special anti-tank guns, it lacked effective direct sighting devices.

"Boom, boom!" Finally, the second round of artillery fire started a volley at a distance of one thousand meters.

This time, the armored troops on the opposite side were not so lucky. An armor-piercing bomb accurately hit the turret armor of a Black Panther 2 tank. Under the huge impact, the armor seemed to be made of paper and quickly sank backwards, and then it turned into a blown balloon.

"Boom!" The turret exploded, and the kinetic energy brought by the impact was extremely terrifying. What's even more terrifying was that under this violent impact, the ammunition inside then exploded terriblely.

During the explosion, the turret was torn apart and a fire broke out inside.

The driver and radio in front struggled to climb out, while the few people in the turret behind were all killed!

If you want to fight, you will have blood and sacrifice, which is inevitable!

The Iranian army was not afraid, they were still moving forward!

"Be careful, don't move in a straight line, and move in a mobile way!" Brigade Commander Mehmed shouted in the radio: "Blessed by God, we will win!"

The Black Panther 2 tank no longer walked straight lines. The driver in front was running wildly, adjusting the direction from time to time, twisting and twisting.

Now, the two sides are comparing who is more tenacious and who is faster!

If the Soviets were moving faster and killed the tanks and armored vehicles without getting close to a range of 100 meters, they would win. If the Iranians rushed faster and rushed to a range of 100 meters, the submachine guns in their hands could kill the Soviet artillery!

The current situation is beneficial to the Soviets, because as the distance approaches, the more accurate their shooting will be, and their artillery fire will completely tear the opponent's tanks, so there is no need to worry about the inability to penetrate!

Yakov returned to his company and directed his six howitzers to open fire. The first hit just now was the result of a cannon he personally commanded!

"Continue to fire, hurry!" Yakov shouted. At this time, he had been completely attracted by the attack of the Iranians in front of him and had no time to take care of other directions.

Fast, move quickly!

The loader Laprize quickly ran back to the truck and continued to carry the heavy shells. The 152mm shells were all packed, and the warheads and the launching medicine were separated. His body was strong and he carried both boxes to his shoulders in an instant.

He stood up straight and wanted to send ammunition to the front of the howitzer, but when he looked up, he glanced at the back of his side from the corner of his eyes, and was immediately shocked.

"Cabin, Iranian cavalry!"
