Outside Poland, the German garrison, the 7th company of the Wehrmacht in Lyon, was repairing in a village.

Leon and his entourage looked at the slow-moving heavy assault guns in front of them and the SS soldiers in black uniforms, with their chests raised and their upper bodies exposed on the chariots, and it was impossible not to envy them.

"That big guy, you look at the welds on the side, this guy's frontal armor is at least four inches, and then look at its barrel, this is a 150 mm caliber gun!"

A tall man in the crowd of onlookers from the 7th Company of the Wehrmacht pointed at the Grizzly assault gun and loudly showed his opinion.

And when the figure of the 170mm heavy assault gun flashed on the street corner, everyone, including the tall man, stopped pointing and gasped in surprise.

"The designer of this thing is simply a madman!" The long row of Bruce, who had not made a sound, couldn't help but sigh coldly.

All the way from Lodz, what big scene have the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company not seen? But the so-called big scene they saw was basically a crowd of Polish soldiers, and as soon as they got down with a shuttle machine gun, they all immediately hit the street.

But this 170 mm caliber heavy assault gun, this black hole muzzle, and this huge volume, in the eyes of the officers and men of the 7th Company, are much more shocking than the crowded Polish soldiers' meat targets!

The soldiers of the 7th Company have never seen such a frenzied heavy equipment, a full 170 mm caliber, which is already larger than the PAK 37mm tank defense gun they use, I don't know how many turns!

In this first close-up viewing, the officers and men of the 7th Company watched in amazement as the 170mm heavy assault gun rumbled past them. As the heavy assault guns passed, the dirt roads along the way in the small village were crushed by heavy tracks, leaving deep track marks.

In the village, a small number of Polish villagers who were reluctant to leave their homes and stayed behind to hide in their rooms looked at the steel beast through the crack in the door, holding the child and trembling.

Sergeant Karl, the commander of the 170 heavy assault gun, leaned out of his upper body and accepted the cheers of the Wehrmacht soldiers around him, along with all the members of the crew who could show their faces.

"Friend!" As the company commander of the 7th Company, Lieutenant Leon asked a question on behalf of everyone that everyone wanted to know: "How powerful is this thing of yours?" ”

From the rank of general, Sergeant Karl should have immediately saluted when he saw Leon. After all, he is a non-commissioned officer, and someone else Leon is an officer.

However, SS officers and men saluted with a raised hand, while the Wehrmacht required a standard military salute. Besides, Leon took the initiative to talk, so it was impossible to pretend that he didn't notice the presence of Lieutenant Min.

After less than two seconds, Karl made a quick decision, raised his hand, and immediately answered Leon's question to divert his attention.

"Hello, Lieutenant!" Karl quickly gave a salute, then immediately smiled and replied loudly, "Lieutenant! It's hard for me to describe your problem clearly, but I can use the results of our last battle to prove the power of this thing. ”

On the left side of the heavy frontage of the 170 heavy assault gun that Carl and the others were driving, it was painted with the achievements of this steel monster in the fortress of Modlin, a total of 23 fortress battle results.

With Carl's explanation, Leon and the others immediately understood the brilliant results of this heavy assault gun! Defeat 23 fortresses and leave the chariot unscathed, which was unheard of before!

In addition, on the right side of the assault gun, a cute cartoon rhinoceros logo is drawn.

The rhinoceros is the nickname given to this heavy assault gun by the SS Experimental Weapons Experimental Regiment.

With his frontal armor and indestructible heavy artillery, which is so far immune to all anti-tank fire, this guy has earned such a figurative animal nickname, which is a bit old-fashioned, but also very appropriate.

To use an idiom from China, this is called perseverance. In the words of diving champion Qu Yuan, this is "Wu Gexi wearing rhino armor". To put it another way that Europeans are accustomed to, that is, "armed to the heels"!

That's right, literally armed to the heels. In order to minimize the enemy's firepower to strike at the fragile tracks, the Rhino assault gun is also specially equipped with track skirts, which greatly reduces the possibility of being interrupted and lying on the tracks.

After all, this thing weighs about 60 tons, and now there is no kind of tractor in Germany that can pull it, and it is not easy to deal with it if the track is broken.

Compared to the historical Rhino anti-tank guns, this guy has more veritable and reliable protection.

Looking at the 170mm "rhinoceros horn cannon", with mottled traces of being attacked by various Polish weapons on the front, this is more like a grumpy rhinoceros.

The Grizzly Bear assault gun, which passed by the village next, was much more low-key against the backdrop of the rhinoceros.

They were all painted with a roaring bear head on the side of the fighting room, and there weren't many markers of victory.

After all, the Grizzly Assault Gun is more likely to target attached small and medium-sized pillboxes and suppress infantry with grenades, and the members of the Grizzly Assault Gun feel that it is very cheap to paint this kind of battle results.

As a result, they simply don't paint this kind of results!

But if you don't paint it, it doesn't mean you don't have it!

The Grizzly Assault Gun is loved by soldiers for its heavy armor and its ability to keep up with heavy fire support at close range.

In the capture of the fortress of Modrin, they played a much bigger role than expected!

After all, only the Grizzly assault gun accompanied the infantry attack.

The targets of the Rhino heavy assault guns were often those heavy fortresses that 150 guns could not solve.

As for the structure of the main fortress, which was more well defended, it was handed over to the Air Force.

The shouts of Stuka during his dive, accompanied by 500kg armor-piercing shells, had long been a nightmare for all the defenders of the fortress.

The 1000kg heavy armor-piercing projectile hanging from the JU-88 medium bomber was largely responsible for the collapse of the main fortress structure.

By the way, one of the Grizzly assault guns passing by now also killed a Polish tank excellently.

At that time, it was the climactic phase of the Grizzly assault guns following the infantry into the fortified area.

It was on such a chaotic battlefield that the members of a Grizzly assault gun accidentally found a remnant of a French Renault light tank.

So, the grizzly bear members, who were far more surprised than frightened, took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet found out, and quietly rewarded each other with a 150mm high-explosive bomb.

How could the Renault light tank at the level of World War I resist such a violent attack, and it turned into a part state on the spot.

As soon as the battle ended, the commander of the Grizzly Assault Gun grinned and commanded the members to paint the results of the battle in a hurry. After all, although Renault is a little behind, it's still a tank, isn't it? If you blow up a tank, that's a clear record.

This hapless Polish tank eventually became one of the few markers of victory on the Grizzly assault gun.

"These SS things look so much more imposing than the cannons we've seen with Division Commander Hans!" Looking at Carl and the others who were far away, Leon let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Let's go, let's take a look, maybe we can see and help later." Moments before Carl and the others were about to disappear from sight, Leon made a decision.

In the command structure of the German army, there is often a lot of room for grassroots commanders to play freely. Because of this, Leon was now able to mobilize the soldiers of the 7th Company, which had been idle by the command, to fight with the SS units at the first order, according to his own judgment.
