Chapter 170: The cute little tank
"Brother, look at your face, it's from the East, right?" A disgraced man, coming from the trench, stopped in front of a fighter of an international column, he looked at the soldier and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This warrior, yellow-skinned, black-eyed, traditional Oriental.
"Yes, I'm Chinese, my name is Guo Fengxian." "I came to Spain voluntarily to fight for the freedom of the Spanish people," the man said. ”
With a smile on his face, he held a Betier rifle in his hand.
"My name is Robert Capa and I'm a war correspondent." Robert stretched out his hand and said to him, "I really didn't expect that you would fight for the freedom of Spain. ”
On the battlefield, there are not only soldiers, but also a special group of war correspondents, who are responsible for reporting the war to the world and documenting the details of the war, and Robert, a Hungarian-American photojournalist, is one of the most famous war correspondents of the twentieth century.
The Spanish Civil War attracted Robert, who came to Spain through France, and yesterday to Badajoz, a focal point of contention between the two sides.
In any war, there is no such thing as justice and evil, or, to put it simply, whoever wins is just.
And now, after all, Franco is a rebel, the government is nominally legitimately elected, and in the eyes of some people who advocate freedom, of course, they think that the government is just, and Franco is a rebel.
Robert was very excited to come here and began his glorious and legendary life, and here he met the fighters of the international column from China, and he was very curious.
"Here, I'll take a picture of you." Robert said, picking up his camera and pressing the shutter.
"Be careful!" At this moment, Guo Fengxian grabbed him, and just when Robert was about to take a picture, Robert stood up, and his head was exposed to the outside of the trench.
"Boom!" Not far away, a cannonball exploded, and the fragments of the bomb almost grazed the top of Robert's head and flew over, if it hadn't been for Guo Fengxian's pull, he would have had his head cut off just now!
Robert took a deep breath and said to Guo Fengxian, "Thank you, brother, you saved my life." ”
"This is not the place for you to stay, go back." Guo Fengxian said: "After these shells are fired, the rebels should come up." ”
Robert shook his head: "I'm a war correspondent, and this is my combat post." ”
"Attention, the Italian army is coming!" A lookout post issued an early warning.
Guo Feng poked his head out first, and could see that on the distant horizon, there was billowing smoke and dust, and dozens of small-sized CV33 ultralight tanks rumbled up.
Throughout World War II, the general view was that the German tanks were mighty, the Soviet tanks were strong and durable, and the tanks of the island countries were simply small cans.
However, this is completely wronged by the Japanese, in fact, smaller than the tanks of the island country, it absolutely exists in this era, this is the cute and cute teasing little tank of the Italians.
How small? The visual contrast is like two people sitting side by side on a couch, then covered with armor on all sides, with tracks mounted on both sides, well, that's pretty much it.
It only weighs about 3 tons, 3.2 meters long, 1.4 meters wide, 1.32 meters high, in order to illustrate vividly, you can take the most familiar car QQ in later generations, QQ is 3.55 meters in length, width and height respectively, 1.495 meters and 1.485 meters, after comparison, you can find that this tank, smaller than QQ!
So, this is almost open-topped, with two members, one driver, and one captain who is also a machine gunner, and the two are almost half-squatting.
The armament is configured as a twin 8-mm machine gun. Riveted armor, only 9 mm thick. Sometimes, after being shot, the rivets flew around, and these flying rivets killed many members like high-speed flying bullets.
Despite its many imperfections, this is still the Noodle Army's toughest tank, and they have been equipped with thousands of them throughout history.
It's no wonder that Italy, after all, has limited industrial capacity, so when the Italians bought the Carden-Lloyd ultralight tank from the British, that is, a tank with a tracked iron box and a pitiful armor protection, plus a machine gun, Italy favored it, and after imitation and improvement, the CV29 ultralight tank was created, and later, it was improved to become the CV33.
The 41-horsepower engine roared, and the cute little tank began its attack, followed by Italian soldiers, all of whom were taller than this tank!
Tank! One way or another, this weapon, is a tank!
"Da-da-da-da." The machine gun of the CV33 small tank spits out tongues of fire, and although this tank is small, it can still act as a mobile machine gun fire point.
The bullets were flying towards the trenches on this side, and everyone couldn't raise their heads.
"We're going to blow it up!" Guo Fengxian said: "Heavy man, cover me!" ”
Guo Feng first put down his rifle, quickly bundled several grenades together, and then, braving the rain of bullets, crossed the trench.
"Click!" Robert grabbed his camera and recorded this precious moment, in the rain of bullets, a Chinese soldier of the international column, jumped out of the trench, what courage it must be!
After Guo Feng jumped out of the trench first, he ran quickly, and his body was constantly changing direction.
On the tank in front, the machine gunner also spotted him, and in an instant, the dense bullets fired towards Guo Fengxian.
Guo Fengxian fell.
Robert's hand slammed into the trench, and although he knew that it was normal for a dead person to die in battle, he still felt a certain sadness and anger as he watched the living life fall.
Just now, the soldier who saved himself died like this!
The tank was still rumbling, and just as it was about to reach Guo Fengxian's side, he saw Guo Fengxian get up suddenly, and in his hand, a bundle of frenades with smoke was bundled into a bundle and thrown under the tank.
Attaboy!
"Boom!" In the explosion, this small cute tank was blown into a pile of scrap metal.
A tank, completely destroyed by a bundle of grenades! The armor twisted, the tracks broke, and the engine behind caught fire in the next second.
At the moment of the explosion, Guo Fengxian's body rolled to the side with agility.
