When it comes to long-handled grenades, we have to talk about the grenades in the drama that impressed everyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When Info was thrown out of the TV, it would create a flaming grenade that looked very fake, and was called a shock grenade by the Japanese and Americans at the time.

The so-called shock grenade is simply a large artillery battle, which is very shocking in terms of sound, but the actual power does not meet the design requirements. The reason is naturally that the technology and raw materials in the local arsenal are not good, and it is impossible to make truly lethal grenades. Just like lethal shrapnel, shock grenades most of the time directly blow the cast iron body in half, what kind of lethality can this shrapnel have?

The reason for mentioning this is mainly to make a comparison with the M24 long-handled grenade of the Germans. As a true high-explosive grenade, it is designed with a wooden handle, and because of the lever principle, the M24 grenade can be thrown at a very long distance. The veterans were almost always able to keep the grenade fifty meters away, or even farther away.

And thanks to the long handle, the M24 grenade can be thrown with extreme accuracy. Highly trained veterans were able to accurately throw grenades into enemy-controlled fortifications, house windows, narrow foxholes. Its lethality is enormous. And unlike the shock grenade, the M24's shrapnel has a very large lethality and range, and has an almost lethal effect against dense attack formations.

When hundreds of grenades were thrown at the Ming army approaching the monastery, the consequences were self-evident. The smoke and dust from the dense explosion enveloped almost the entire front position of the monastery. In the space of a few seconds, time seemed to have stood still on the entire battlefield.

"Goo~~~" Yi Yanxue, who was pale, trembled his lips and swallowed his saliva with difficulty. He didn't need to count him to know that his troops would inevitably suffer heavy casualties this time.

The Ming army in the rear, the German troops in the monastery and on the surrounding hills were all paying attention to this place, and almost everyone believed that the Ming army had suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining ones would inevitably turn around and flee immediately. It's just that everyone's ideas have fallen flat.

In the ruins of the monastery, the Germans with guns were trying to keep their eyes open, trying to see what was going on in the smoke that had not yet dissipated. Many Germans were busy picking up grenades again, opening caps, preparing to throw again.

In fact, this period is very short, maybe only two or three seconds. When the smoke from the grenade explosion had not yet dispersed, many figures suddenly rushed out of the smoke. The soldiers, who were wounded and blood pouring out, but still holding their weapons tightly in their hands, rushed to the monastery not far away with extremely determined steps.

"Hiss~~~" The German commander in the monastery felt a sharp pain in his teeth. The strength of the Ming army was far beyond his imagination!! Before the words fell, the Ming army who rushed to the front had already waved their arms forward.

The infantrymen of the 71st Infantry Division, of course, were not waving hello to the Germans on the opposite side. They threw the grenade in their hands after rushing into a distance of thirty meters. The Melon Fragmentation Grenade is very lethal, but it doesn't have the same throw range and accuracy as a Pole Grenade. This is also the reason why the Ming army had to rush into a distance of thirty meters before throwing.

A dense burst of explosions inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans. However, the German counterattack was not too frustrated. A dense rain of machine-gun bullets swept over, knocking the Ming officers and soldiers to the ground in pieces. The two sides come and go, bullets rain everywhere, grenades and grenades dance together.

The Ming army rushed into the monastery with huge casualties and engaged in a fierce face-to-face battle with the defenders. Grenades, butts, sapper shovels, fists and teeth. All the weapons that could be poured were used. Hundreds of soldiers fought to the death in this small area, and their lives passed by in this moment. Shouts and howls resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Yi Yanxue, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, shouted loudly: "Send out all the reserves!" ”

The Ming army reacted quickly, but the Germans were equally slow. The artillery units between the two sides began to cut off the battlefield without fear of heavy shelling of casualties. The reserves of both sides suffered a huge blow on the way to the battlefield, suffering heavy casualties. In the end, it was the Germans who took the lead in sending troops to the front line because of the proximity and from the top down, and drove the Ming army out of the monastery after paying a huge price in casualties.

The battle, which lasted for hours, finally came to an end as the sun set. After a fierce battle, the offensive of the 71st Infantry Division was finally driven down by the Germans, who had the advantage of the terrain. paid a huge casualty, but was defeated in the end, Yi Yanxue's heart couldn't be more angry.

The casualties of nearly 2,000 were definitely a big blow to the Ming army, because they were the best trained and best equipped army in the world. However, the Germans guarding the monastery were not doing well, and the brutal artillery fire of the Ming army and the heroic attacks of the officers and soldiers also brought them thousands of casualties, which was simply unacceptable to the defenders who occupied the advantageous terrain.

Not only the battle on the mountain, but also in the town of Cassino at the foot of the mountain, the 2nd Panzer Division, which was originally tasked with a feint, also fought with Rommel's armored forces.

From the very beginning, the armored forces between the two sides were locked in a fierce battle. Together with the support of air power and artillery units, the number of losses and casualties on both sides increased rapidly. The 2nd Panzer Division, which was in full swing, sent its main force, and the waves of armored attacks continued like a tidal wave, putting great pressure on the Germans.

Not to be outdone, Rommel certainly could not accept that his own force, which he possessed, would be broken through in such a short period of time. Rommel mobilized armoured units to launch an armored counterattack against the 2nd Panzer Division, and a heavy battle broke out between numerous tanks and armoured vehicles on both sides near the town of Cassino. One of the most intense was when the 2nd Panzer Division sent a heavy tank battalion led by Lin Shuo, and Rommel also sent the Imperial Division to counterattack.

Since the beginning of the war more than two years ago, the Tiger and Leopard tanks of the Ming Army have been rampant on the battlefield, putting unparalleled pressure on the Allied forces. In this context, countries are beginning to develop new combat vehicles that can fight these two super tanks.

The Americans developed the Pershing, the French had Chrysler, the Russians had 34 and subsequent models. The Germans introduced tanks 5 and 6. Among them, the Tiger tank equipped with the Ming Army is closer to the No. 5 tank. And this tank, which the Germans considered to be the pinnacle of armored power, therefore the problem of production was available only to a small part of the armored forces. Undoubtedly, the Imperial Division, which is an ace, is also equipped.

The German tank No. 5 was all Israeli. The establishment of tank battalions appeared, which belonged only to the command of each large corps. However, the Reich Division, as the ace unit of the entire German Army, had a No. 5 tank battalion on the scale of a divisional unit, and the rest of the Reich Division's armored units were equipped with No. 6 tanks, which were comparable in performance to the Leopard tank.

On both sides are elite troops, equipped with powerful new tanks. But when the armored torrent of the Second Armored Division of the Ming Army and the Imperial Division of the German Army met in the town of Cassino, the scene was as hot as Mars hitting the earth!

"Drive the vehicle behind that wrecked tank." Lin Shuo, who was sitting in his car, loudly ordered the driver to drive his car behind the wreckage of a tank that was still emitting thick black smoke after it was destroyed. Use the massive steel body of the tank's wreckage to fend off armor-piercing shells fired from the opposite side.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Germans fired a shell that hit the wreckage of the tank in front of it, stirring up a huge stream of steel metal.

"The smoke is too big." The artillery commander lay on top of the periscope and shouted: "I can't see anything!" ”

"Stand back!" Lin Shuo fearlessly pushed open the hatch of the turret and got out of half of his body, shouting loudly, "Open a little to the left, expose the turret!" ”

Because the town of Cassino is located in the middle of Route 6, and even the important Route 6 crosses through the middle of the town. As a result, the battle of armor between the two sides had already completely destroyed the entire town, and there were collapsed houses and corpses of locals everywhere. And, of course, the wreckage of a large number of destroyed tanks and armored vehicles on both sides.

"Hit the one on the head!" After the angle of the shelling was sideways, Lin Shuo did not hesitate to order to fire at a German No. 5 tank that was only more than 100 meters away on the opposite side. Because according to his own combat experience, Lin Shuo knew that the armored forces of the Germans were also the same as the armored forces of the Ming Dynasty, and the first ones were basically the commander's cars.

As the number one vehicle crew destroyed by the entire Ming Army, Lin Shuo's chariot members are all old men who have experienced a hundred battles. They knew that the frontal turret of the new German tank on the opposite side was very strong, so the target of the shelling was chosen above the front armor.

Unlike the Tiger's front armor, which had a certain angle of inclination, the German Heavy Tank V was similarly sturdy and thick. However, their front armor is vertical, which is not comparable to the inclined armor of the Tiger. And it's not just that deadlier.

Both sides are about the same in terms of artillery, and neither is one level ahead of the other in terms of technology. However, all the tungsten core armor-piercing bullets used by the Ming army were used, while the Germans could only get some quotas from the Americans because of the lack of tungsten ore in their homeland, and the number of tungsten core armor-piercing bullets produced was very small.

Although the Imperial Division, as the ace troops, must have received a part of the ration, they could not use tungsten core armor-piercing bullets as unscrupulously as the Ming army. Every tungsten core armor-piercing bullet of the Germans was used very carefully. And the result of this is that although he can give the Ming army a lot of damage, his own losses are far greater than that of the Ming army! (To be continued.) )
