Chapter 180: Polish Campaign: Polish Cavalry
In Mośichitsky's view, as long as he took East Prussia, he was entitled to have a bargaining chip to bring Germany back to the negotiating table.
So, this plan seemed perfect to Mośichitsky.
Masovsia province, Puzhasnesh.
Hans was leaning against the infantry fighting vehicle, watching the company's tank maintenance squad repair and suspend his tank.
The infantry fighting vehicles of their squad broke the suspension at noon when the whole company was pursuing a fleeing Polish cavalry at high speed, and was not left behind by the towing of another infantry fighting vehicle in the same row.
"Let me say that this Polish land is more lethal to us than Polish soldiers!" Hans looked at the tired and sweaty soldiers of the maintenance squad and teased with a smile.
"Who's to say it isn't?" "This is the third car we have repaired today, and I have never heard of a single infantry fighting vehicle destroyed by the Poles," replied Hans. ”
"Three today?" Hans was surprised, "How can there be so many, is it that the manufacturers who make the chariots are cutting corners?" ”
"Haha, man, cutting corners? How is that possible? The soldier laughed, then took a few tools from a soldier on the side and got under the car, saying, "The Führer will not let those capitalists mess with our weapons and equipment." ”
"Then how can there be so many vehicles that have problems?" Hans wondered.
"Do you think about how many places our SS17 has fought since the declaration of war on Poland? How far did you run? The maintenance soldier asked Hans as he tinkered a few times under the car and removed a few broken leaf springs.
"That's a lot." Hans pouted, "Originally, we were attacking the central defense line, and we ran to the Danzig corridor after fighting, and now we are in this hellish place again!" It's five or six hundred kilometers all the way down, right? ”
"Isn't that it?" The soldier said with a smile, then leaned out from under the car and took a few new leaf springs, and continued while loading, "After five or six hundred kilometers of high-intensity combat, it is inevitable that there will be a little problem, just like you said, the Polish land is our biggest enemy!" ”
"Haha, yes." Hans laughed, "Also, the Polish cavalry can be on a par with their land, and God, they can really run!" ”
After Hans said this, the maintenance soldier had just finished the repair work, he got out from under the car, patted the dust on his body, and just as he was about to sigh a few words, he heard several gunshots in the distance.
It was the sentinels telling them that the Poles were coming.
"What's going on? How dare the Poles sneak up on us? Hans's face was full of incredulity, they ran with the Poles all the way, but they didn't expect the Poles to take the initiative to attack them.
"What's the matter? Hit when you come! Gro rushed back to the car with the rest of the class, several of them still chewing on unswallowed food in their mouths.
"Frank, is our car fixed?" Groh asked the soldier who had just chatted with Hans.
"That's it!" Frank quickly lowered the jack and replied with a smile.
"Thanks buddy!" Groh thanked him as he took out a kettle from his bag and tossed it to Frank, "The beer I found from the village ahead of me is not as good as our German beer, but it's pretty good." ”
"Haha, thanks." Frank slipped the kettle into his tool pocket and smiled, "Then I won't bother you to teach the Poles a lesson, goodbye." ”
"Goodbye." Groh waved his hand, then followed Hans, the last one into the car.
Seeing Gro enter, Daniel, who was driving, started the chariot and swayed towards the place where the gunfire was fired along with the other three infantry fighting vehicles in the surrounding platoon.
The sentry was on top of a small steep slope, so the German Panzergrenadiers behind the steep slope could not see the other side, but could only see the sentry on the steep slope waving at them anxiously, and hear a louder, familiar voice.
"The sound of horses' hooves?" Anek, who was sitting in the car, carefully distinguished the voices that were getting closer and closer, and said strangely.
"It's the sound of horses' hooves." Gro confirmed, patted Daniel on the shoulder as he was driving, and urged, "Hurry up, go up and see what's going on!" ”
Daniel nodded, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the "wolf" infantry fighting vehicle roared a little louder, and then rushed up the steep slope first.
However, the people who saw the situation clearly froze directly, because not far in front of them, thousands of Polish cavalry were galloping on horseback, dragging the smoke and dust into the sky.
"Oh my God!" Anek looked at the scene in front of him and said blankly, "What do the Poles want to do?" ”
"Again, whatever they want, since they dare to charge the German panzergrenadiers, they must be prepared to be beaten." Gro gritted his teeth and said, "Anek, you go up and operate the 30mm rapid-fire gun, Daniel, let's rush down!" ”
"Yes!" The two of them straightened their faces and efficiently executed Gro's orders.
The other infantry fighting vehicles, having recovered from the shock, also followed Gro and stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the Polish cavalry.
Eighteen infantry fighting vehicles spilled a barrage as they charged, and 18 30mm rapid-fire guns spewed shells at the fastest speed, and the 36 MG42s were denser than the shells.
The Polish cavalry fell like wheat with the dense barrage of German troops, but after the men and horses in front fell, the men and horses in the back quickly filled the gap.
Eventually, the two teams collided violently, and the Poles slashed at the German chariot with their machetes and rifles, but they could only cut a spark and leave marks on the hull.
And the German panzergrenadiers used the G41 and MP40 in their hands to inflict huge casualties on the Polish cavalry through the firing holes in the hull.
Soon, 18 German infantry fighting vehicles pierced through the Polish cavalry group, and they were not injured in the slightest.
The Polish cavalry on the opposite side was noticeably much thinner, leaving a piece of corpse on the ground.
"Are these Polish bastards crazy?" Hans opened the side cover of the MG42, pulled out the overheated barrel and threw it aside, then took a new barrel from the side and put it on, and asked without borrowing.
"It doesn't matter if they're crazy or not, it's still that sentence." With red eyes, Gro replaced the MP40 in his hand with a new magazine, "No matter what they want to do, no one who dares to challenge the German Panzergrenadiers has survived!" Daniel turns around and kills back! ”
The Polish cavalry on the opposite side was obviously red-eyed, and they turned their horses' heads one after another, and rushed towards the Germans again with a pinch of their horses' bellies.
Although they knew perfectly well that the weapons in their hands could not pose any threat to the Germans.
