Colonel Conrad did not break his promise, and a few days later the first batch of 100 "Iron Fists" arrived in North Africa.
Of course, the first corps was the first batch of troops equipped with the "Iron Fist".
Along with this batch of equipment, a team of instructors was delivered...... They were apparently here to train German soldiers in the use of the "Iron Fist".
The instructor assigned to the second company was a young second lieutenant named Lange, who looked a little shy, and later Qin Chuan knew that this was because he had just graduated from the military academy and had not yet been on the battlefield.
"Hello!" Instructor Lange stood in front of Qin Chuan and the others, his tone and demeanor were not at all like an instructor: "It's nice to meet you, I was ordered to teach you to use a brand new equipment...... And voila, this is it! β
As he spoke, Lange took out an "iron fist" on his knees, raised it at the soldiers, and said: "We call it the 'iron fist', and it is used for anti-tank!" β
Because Lange didn't have an instructor's shelf at all, German soldiers soon asked: "Can this little guy be used against tanks?" Instructors, you don't think that enemy tanks are papier-mΓ’chΓ©, do you! β
The soldiers burst into laughter.
"No, no!" RANGE BLUSHED AND EXPLAINED, "DON'T LOOK AT IT SMALL, BUT IT CAN PENETRATE THE ENEMY'S 140MM ARMOR ......"
"Oh!" A GERMAN SOLDIER SCOFFED: "PAPER ARMOR 140MM THICK!" β
The soldiers burst into laughter again.
At this time, Bazel, who was standing next to him, couldn't listen anymore, and he stood in front of the team with a sonorous force, and the team immediately fell silent.
"Are you laughing at Iron Fist?" "IF YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO DO MORE THAN PENETRATE 140MM THICK PAPER, THEN YOU CAN GIVE IT A TRY......
The troops were silent for a moment, and of course no one would want to do that.
"One more thing to tell you!" Bazel glanced at Qin Chuan, and then said, "You may not know that the 'Iron Fist' was invented by Sergeant Frick, when you questioned the 'Iron Fist', did you ever think that this was questioning Sergeant Frick?!" β
The soldiers couldn't help but cast surprised glances at Qin Chuan, including Lange, many people still couldn't believe it, and when they saw that Qin Chuan didn't object, they knew that what Bazel said was true.
"And there's a little bit of an episode in it!" Bazel continued: "Our esteemed FΓΌhrer, knowing the performance of the 'Iron Fist', his first instinct was to put them on the Eastern Front against those Ivans, which means that we did not have them. But with the help of Second Lieutenant Flick, we finally got this piece of equipment, but you don't give a damn about it! β
"Ignorant, stupid, stupid!" The more Bazel cursed, the more fierce he became, his fingers pointing in the air: "I'm ashamed of you...... Everybody is rushing to ask for them, but you are using them as burning sticks; Ensign Frick fought hard for you, and you laughed at him; Even the Fuhree attaches great importance to it, but it is worthless in your eyes! β
The faces of the German soldiers could not help but be ashamed.
"So!" Then Bazel said, "Now tell me, do you need this equipment?" β
"Yes, sir!"
"Would you like to study with Ensign Lange?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Will you go into battle with an 'iron fist' to blow up the enemy's tanks?"
"Yes, sir!"
Bazel really had two clicks, and in a few words, he mobilized the enthusiasm of all the soldiers.
Then Bazel turned to Lange: "Leave it to you, second lieutenant!" β
"Uh......" Lange was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous, because I didn't expect the inventor of the 'Iron Fist' to be among you, it makes me feel like I'm messing around, maybe we should let Ensign Flick ......"
"No, instructor!" Qin Chuan said: "This is the first time I have seen the 'Iron Fist', and I don't know how to use it!" β
"Oh yes!" Lange smiled embarrassedly, then said, "Actually, it's very simple to use......
Lange & SΓΆhne said, demonstrating: "We transport the fuses separately for the sake of transport safety, and you should do the same in the future, otherwise there may be a 'bang'...... You know, it's not nice to be a little bit of a guy here, you're going to be roasted by a few hot metal jets in an instant! β
"So you ought to do it!" "First of all, put the fuse on," says Lange, "holding the tube under my armpit as I did, and then opening the safety and sights...... At this time, you must pay attention to ensure that there is no one in the rear, because the flames will burn the comrades behind you. Of course, if there is an enemy behind you, you don't need to think about this! β
The soldiers were amused by Lange's words.
"Then it's aiming!" "Connect the scale on the sight, the contour of the warhead and the tank with three points," Lange said...... Then press to launch a few ......"
As soon as the "puff" sounded, the warhead was ejected, and a steel plate standing 30 meters immediately burst into a cloud of green smoke.
The steel plate looked like nothing on the surface, but when the green smoke cleared, the soldiers realized that there were small holes in the steel plate.
THE GERMAN SOLDIERS CHANGED COLOR ONE AFTER ANOTHER, BECAUSE THE STEEL PLATE WAS TAKEN FROM THE "MATILDA" TANK, AT LEAST 70MM THICK, WHICH WAS NOT EASY TO DEAL WITH WITH TANK GUNS, BUT WAS EASILY PENETRATED BY THE "IRON FIST".
"As I said before!" "IT CAN PENETRATE 140 MM ARMOR. So, what you have to think about is if you get 30 meters away from the enemy tank! β
"Wow!" During the free practice, Werner walked up to Qin Chuan with an "iron fist", and his eyes were full of admiration: "It was actually invented by you!" β
"It's nothing!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's another kind of 'England bow and crossbow', isn't it?" β
"You're right!" "But we've all seen the 'English crossbow,' but no one has ever thought of doing it!" β
"It's a good thing indeed, Second Lieutenant!" The baker looked at it with an "iron fist": "With it, at least we don't have to run to the tank and blow it up with anti-tank grenades or explosive packs!" β
"Didn't you think we could take a lot of these things with us when we parachuted?" Alfredo said: "It's much easier to carry than an anti-tank gun!" β
"Yes!" The German soldiers agreed.
At this time, several German soldiers stepped forward and said to Qin Chuan: "Please forgive our ignorance, second lieutenant, we don't know the power of the 'Iron Fist', let alone that you invented it!" β
"No, it's okay!" Qin Chuan patted them on the shoulder.
Qin Chuan really felt the respect and trust of the soldiers for him, and it was not easy to get this, especially on the battlefield.
