Chapter 388: Romiy's Offensive and Defensive Battle (6)

『Chapter error, click here to report』

Because of the need for use in a narrow area, the Panzerfaustklein rocket weighs only 54 grams, while its warhead weighs only 1.5 kg, and the internal charge is only 400 grams. In order to maximize the effect of the limited weight, the German designers designed the warhead of the Iron Fist rocket into a hollow charge armor-piercing projectile, using the Monroe effect to penetrate the enemy's armor with the metal jet generated by the explosion, directly killing and injuring the personnel or equipment inside the armor, such a design allows the Panzerfaustklein to achieve a static armor-piercing depth of 140mm with a charge of only 400g - you know, the front armor of the strongest Tiger tank in service in Germany is only 102mm thick!

Of course, such data does not mean that Iron Fist can really be hard in the front.

First of all, the Tiger's mechanic is not blind, and he will not easily let the enemy with an iron fist approach within 30 meters of him in the field (the effective range of the Iron Fist 30 and the Panzerfaustklein is 30 meters), even if the enemy approaches within 30 meters of the Tiger and successfully fires the iron fist and hits the target accurately, the front armor of the Tiger can still block the iron fist. Because the main equipment of the Tiger in this life has a large tilt angle and uses gap armor, it can effectively deal with CE shells (chemical energy ammunition) such as armor-piercing bullets and armor-shattering bullets.

Not only the Tiger, at the request of Lyon, the German army began to use a large number of gap armor from the third tank, although many officers and manufacturers did not understand Lyon's requirements to do so, in their opinion, the use of gap armor is undoubtedly an increase in production process, but Lyon is very clear that in the future battle, the chemical energy ammunition represented by HEAT will pose a huge threat to the tank.

In fact, in the whole series of Iron Fist, Iron Fist 30 and Iron Fist Klein are the lowest-end ones, these two types are for rapid production, they are disposable, and they are thrown away directly after fighting, and like the high-end Iron Fist 60 and Iron Fist 100 are separated from the cartridge, and the next rocket can be loaded into the barrel and fired again immediately after a shot.

In this context, there is no need for German designers to add precision sights like Type 60 and Type 100 to the disposable Type 30 and Klein types, their sights are just a piece of iron chiseled with three holes, which is usually flat on the body of the projectile, and the shooter will erect him when using it, and select the hole according to the distance, the bottom hole is 10 meters, the middle 20 meters, and the top 30 meters, and then form a three-point line through the hole, the warhead profile and the target, so as to aim.

This kind of aiming is usually used to hit armored vehicles, after all, the range of these two types is only 30 meters, and the tank is large enough, but there is little time to aim like Davide now, and the target is still a machine gun bunker built with sandbags, which depends on fate.

But today Davide is obviously fate, the iron fist shot out drew a perfect arc in the air, and then impartially smashed the shield of a heavy machine gun, the fuse was hit and instantly detonated the main charge, mixed with black Sorkin explosives directly blew the heavy machine gun back to the state of parts, and the metal jet originally used to deal with the tank first broke through the shield and shot through the bodies of several French soldiers behind, and finally burned into the concrete floor before stopping.

"Up, up, up!" Seeing that the French machine-gun bunker was on fire, Davide immediately rushed out of the staircase.

The German soldiers waiting on the middle platform also followed at the first time, and more than a dozen MP40 swept around like splashing water, and the powerful firepower suddenly killed and wounded most of the French troops who were squatting around, and the rest had to temporarily retreat into the room next to them to avoid the German front, and the staircase, which was the focus of defense, was completely in the hands of the Germans.

However, the French army obviously did not want to let the staircase fall into the hands of the Germans, and nearly 40 French soldiers, led by two lieutenant colonels, rushed down from the top to the third floor in a vain attempt to repel Davide's team, but they ignored that they were now surrounded by more than 1,200 German regiments, and more than 200 German soldiers were gathered on the first floor alone.

The 40 French men rushed down just in time for a platoon of German support troops to rush up the gap opened by Davide, and both sides were stunned for a moment, and then almost simultaneously raised their guns and fired at each other.

In this encounter, the German army's advantage of automatic firepower was vividly brought into play, and in the face of the German army's fire network composed of MG42 light machine guns, MP40 submachine guns, G41 semi-automatic rifles and M38 semi-automatic shotguns, a large number of French soldiers armed with bolt-action rifles were knocked to the ground almost before firing a single shot.

In less than half a minute, all 40 French soldiers without exception lay on the ground, while the Germans suffered only 14 or 5 casualties, while the rest took the opportunity to rush to the third floor.

Davide did not worry too much about the fierce battle that broke out on the stairs behind him, because he was well aware of the situation with small arms in the "Grozny" division.

Unlike the general infantry division of the German army, which was equipped with one MG42 general-purpose machine gun, two MP40 submachine guns and eight G41 semi-automatic rifles per squad, the infantry squad of the "Grozny" division was generally equipped with one MG42 general-purpose machine gun, five MP40 submachine guns, two G41 semi-automatic rifles and three M38 semi-automatic shotguns.

If you are in the field, such a weapon is not suitable, because the range, accuracy and bullet power of the MP40 are not enough to support the medium and long-range firing of 200 meters in the field, but it is not the same in trench warfare and street fighting, in trench warfare and street fighting, the two sides often encounter at a distance of more than ten meters or dozens of meters, in this case shooting accuracy and bullet power are no longer so important, only high rate of fire and large bullet capacity are the absolute king.

So Davide didn't pay any attention to the battle behind him, and just took his soldiers to clean room after room.

Thanks to the experience accumulated in the street battles with the Brown Shirts in Munich, the "Gronniz" division was particularly handy in cleaning the room, and they usually used an M38 shotgun to shoot the door lock of the room door to break the door lock, and then one soldier kicked the door open, while another soldier immediately threw a grenade into it, and after the explosion, the infantry would enter the room and clean up the dead French soldiers with their guns.

Of course, this trick will not be so easy to use, for example, some French soldiers reacted very quickly, and when they saw the grenade rolling in, they immediately pounced on it, picked it up and threw it back outside the door, blowing up a bunch of German soldiers.

However, the clever German soldiers quickly came up with a solution, and the better coordinated team would first open the grenade safety for a while, and then the teammates kicked the door and threw it in.

After the teammates in front threw the grenade in, the fighters who resisted the plank in the back immediately followed and blocked the gate with a wooden plank, and the French army inside could not throw out the grenade even if they reacted quickly.

Under the skillful sweeping of the German army, the French defenders who lost their support were soon killed and wounded, but none of them surrendered, and even often rushed out of the room to fight with the Germans in the case of inferior equipment, and this tenacious will to fight forced the German army to spend a full day and pay more than 200 casualties to completely empty the building.
