A tall, muscular Syrian officer with a hideous facial scar straddles a stalled "Teutonic Knight" chariot and stares sternly at the gray-faced, slow-moving Syrian infantry around him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhether it was in the earlier Syrian War of Independence or later in the Turkish Civil War, the Syrian fighters demonstrated the power of dignity and faith in convincing displays. In the past two years, in several clashes with the armed forces of the Arab Kingdom, the Syrian army has only been defeated by its opponents when the disparity in strength is huge, and it is precisely out of fear of the Syrian army that the Arab Kingdom's top leadership intends to cede the rich but unstable Palestinian areas, on the one hand, they connive at or even covertly support the Arabs in Palestine to form local armed forces, and on the other hand, they turn a blind eye to the secret militias of the Jews. In order to keep the brave and warlike Syrian cavalry trapped in this quagmire of hidden dangers......

In the unassuming town of Hadera on the map, the proud Syrian 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division undoubtedly kicked an iron plate, and two successive attacks were thwarted. In the eyes of the experienced Syrian officers, the failure of the first attack could be attributed to the negligence of the enemy, but in the second attack, they did their best and adopted the tactics of coordination and coordination that had been tried and tested in the past, so that even if they could not win quickly, they would not end up with a lost army and a disgraced retreat. You must know that the armored battalion that acts as the assault arrow is equipped with all German goods, and even if you look at the current European continent, the armored troops with such neat equipment and well-trained can be called "quasi-first-class combat power", and they are even more powerful in the Middle East. Although the "Teutonic Knights", which are highly valued by the Syrians, are a piece of equipment that has been in service for almost 20 years, they are worthy of the title of "German War Horse", practical, durable, and easy to use, in addition to being unable to compete with the new generation of main combat vehicles of European and American powers, they are enough to cope with the challenges of various armored vehicles!

"Warriors of the Syrian Republic, I seem to see in you the fear of the enemy, and you may think that we have met the devils who have come out of hell and that we are going to be defeated by them, but I tell you that they are not devils, but Jews who are spurned by the world! What do Jews have? They have nothing but money and greed! They can buy the best weapons with money, but they can't buy courage; They can hire the strongest mercenaries with money, but they can't hire courage! We will show them that Syrians are born warriors! ”

After speaking, the high-spirited Syrian officer clenched his fists and waved vigorously: "Warriors, fight!" The enemy will tremble under our feet! May Allah be with you and bless you at all times! ”

Inspired and motivated by this, the Syrian soldiers lifted their spirits one by one and regrouped their fighting spirits. In a short time, the chariots and armored vehicles started with a rumbling roar, and the infantry formed a queue under the orders of their respective officers and followed in turn.

At the same time, on the defensive positions northeast of Hadera, the "heavy infantry" covered with camouflage nets and sticks and leaves were like clumps of tall bushes with the ability to move, and the black holes of the guns were murderously pointed at the open area ahead......

Dane Frederick Anderson crouched in the captain's hatch at the top of the turret of the "heavy infantry" and watched the movements of enemy troops in the distance with binoculars. Reinforcements sent by Colonel Vayukhin had arrived, and Anderson, of course, did not look down on the two squadrons of Jewish militia, only the Russian infantry of the "Nikolai" battalion could make him feel more at ease. This group of brave and drunken guys is no longer the embarrassed White Guards in the Soviet Russian Revolutionary War, because in the Irish Foreign Legion, the high-standard, high-intensity training mode and the harsh elimination mechanism can not only stimulate the potential of the soldiers, but also keep them in a physiological and psychological state suitable for combat at all times, so as to achieve the effect of incurring the ability to come, to fight, and to win.

In addition to conventional infantry weapons, the Russian infantrymen who came to Hadera to help the Jewish militia fight the Syrian army carried two types of infantry anti-tank weapons: the Type 1944 50mm rocket launcher and the Type 1939 anti-tank mine. The former is equipped with an 88 mm super-caliber hollow charge armor-piercing projectile, with an effective range of 300 meters and capable of penetrating homogeneous armor with a thickness of 120 mm; The latter uses a steel disc spring as the pressure mechanism, has a double explosion-resistant design, and the infantry usually does not detonate when it hits a mine, and is equipped with a 4-kilogram ********, which can easily blow up the tracks of the combat vehicle and even penetrate the bottom armor of the combat vehicle.

According to Anderson's projected engagement area, the Russian infantry quickly laid 40 disc-shaped Type 1939 anti-tank mines, and six Type 1944 50mm rocket launchers were also deployed in positions that were difficult for their own vehicles. After everything was ready, the Syrian army in Anderson's sight gradually entered the combat range: at the head of the line were six "Teutonic Knights" painted in yellow and green camouflage, the angular silhouette of the German-made chariots was always so majestic, they proudly raised their barrels, and they were flanked and followed by groups of Syrian infantry, and the weapons in the hands of these soldiers were mostly "made by Mauser" - Mauser M1898 is still the most basic standard weapon of the Turkish and Syrian armies. The M20 semi-automatic rifle, introduced by Mauser in the mid-1927s, was a smart choice for the two militaries to improve their grassroots combat effectiveness.

In fact, as another classic firearm after the M1898, the M1927 was not only favored by the German Army and became the main weapon of the German soldiers in World War II, but also selected as a new generation of standard weapons by many Western allied countries. In the early '30s, the Ottoman Empire's top brass was hoping that the new firearms would transform their army, so they imported them in large quantities and set up production lines in Istanbul by purchasing technology licenses. After winning the civil war, the Republic of Turkey received nearly two hundred thousand M1927s from the old Ottoman army and a full set of production equipment in Istanbul, and the subsequent M1927 was named "Kemal rifles" by the Turkish military, most of which were equipped by the national army, and some were supplied to Syria. In addition to this semi-automatic rifle from Turkey, the Syrians also obtained tens of thousands of M7.35 mm caliber M1927 and a large number of ammunition to match them from the ambitious Italians through the oil trade. The M1927 can reach more than 30% of the elite front-line Syrian troops like the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, so it is easy for the Syrians to have an advantage in firepower density in the face of the Arab Kingdom's army, which is still dominated by manual rifles.

After carefully observing the size and composition of the enemy troops, Anderson gave orders to the four "heavy infantry" and two "patrolmen" under his command: "Each vehicle is loaded with high-explosive shells, fired at an elevation angle of 30 degrees, and three rounds of rapid-fire are ready for ......"

After a few moments, the commanders of the cars reported that they were "ready".

Anderson took a deep breath: "Fire!" ”

6 love-made tanks and 6 75 mm cannons competed to shoot blazing flames. The sound of rolling cannons still echoed in my ears, and the fire flashed and the smoke dispersed in front of my eyes. The artillery commanders faithfully carried out the command of "three rounds of rapid fire", and it was not until three high-explosive shells were fired one after another that they stopped to observe the effect of the shelling -- all the shells passed over the six Syrian tanks at the head of the platoon and fell into the Syrian infantry group in the rear. The shelling was so rapid that it is estimated that many Syrian infantry did not have time to react, and regardless of their specific casualties, such artillery fire must have dealt a big blow to their spirit and morale!

Without waiting for the enemy tanks to open fire and return fire, Anderson ordered repeatedly: "Each vehicle retreats fifty meters!" All retreat fifty meters! ”

The two "patrol soldiers" were like dexterous cheetahs, and in a blink of an eye, they reversed and withdrew from a certain distance, and the Russian soldiers and a small number of Jewish militia in the vicinity also withdrew from their temporary positions without hesitation and moved back, and the four "heavy infantry" slowly retreated with a low roar, and bursts of white smoke rose from the rear of the car, and when they all withdrew from the firing positions just now, the shells from the Syrian tanks fell one after another, in vain raising clouds of mud and sand and countless branches and leaves......

Anderson lay down in the captain's hatch, and without waiting for all the vehicles to stop, he gave an order over the radio: "Load each vehicle with armor-piercing shells and fire freely!" ”

The two "patrolmen" had already stabilized the body first, lowered the muzzle, and the commanders quickly measured the range and observed, adjusted the elements, and fired armor-piercing shells at the two Syrian combat vehicles leading the formation. At this time, the distance between the two tanks was still 100 mm, and the 42 times diameter 75 mm gun of the "Patrolman" used the new cap-piercing shell, the effective penetration depth of the target for kilometers was 80 mm, while the equivalent armor on the front of the turret of the "Teutonic Knight" reached 100 mm, and the front of the body was 80 mm, so it was difficult for the early model of the "Patrolman" to take out this medium tank with a very hard front face at a long distance, but it was not completely impossible to pose a threat, as long as it could hit their observation window, There are still relatively weak positions such as tracks in the bomb area, which can still be damaged or even destroyed.

The "patrolmen" each completed two free fires, and the "heavy infantry" also arrived at a new firing position and began to observe and position, the Syrian tank group on the opposite side was still unharmed by this time, but the defender's continuous artillery fire made the Syrian armored soldiers both annoyed and cautious, they were not in a hurry to launch a straight line charge, but stopped and stopped, patiently observed, carefully aimed, and their fire quickly corrected the landing point following the trail of the enemy tank.

At this time, Anderson once again ordered: "The light chariot retreats a hundred meters, and the heavy chariot retreats fifty meters!" ”

The tank detachment on the right flank of the defender slowly retreated in the direction of Hadera, and most of the Jewish militia and some Russian soldiers followed closely to move the line back, but according to the commander's deployment, the anti-tank infantry group with the 1944 50mm rocket launcher as the core still lay in ambush on the preset position, waiting for the enemy's tank to approach them step by step.
