The troops of the Indian 10th Brigade received orders to dispatch them early that morning, and the Indians waited until noon before they began to advance to the place designated by the headquarters. The individual equipment of the soldiers of the Indian Brigade is the same as that of the soldiers of the British regular army, but in terms of large equipment, such as the number of trucks, the Indian brigade is equipped with fewer trucks than the average British army.

The British army had also seen the power of motorized German troops, so although the British mainland was miserable by Lin Youde, they still struggled to increase the motorized range of their troops, but in this process different troops had different priorities, the Indians were unfortunately in the lower part, and the South African Army and the Australian New Army, which were composed of whites in the colonial army, enjoyed higher priority in the equipment of trucks.

As for the Canadian Army, the Americans are directly responsible for arming them.

However, despite the fact that the Indians did not have enough trucks, they made up for it with their own unique skill - they managed to cram a platoon of men into a truck, so that their trucks were not only sufficient, but also had some surplus.

Now, a pile of trucks full of people on the outside of the compartment and on top of the cab is speeding down the sandy roads of the Sinai Peninsula.

The brigade commander, Colonel Caen, personally followed the team in his jeep.

"Damn the Germans," muttered the Colonel, "why did they choose to attack on the weekend?" All of my plans were ruined by their attack. ”

The Indian orderly in charge of driving the car was silent, his English was not particularly fluent, so he rarely answered the colonel's words.

The colonel, too, seemed accustomed to the silence of the orderlies, so he did not turn his attention to the orderlies at all, and he began to complain about the dust.

"I bet if I fight here for another year, at least half of my lungs will be filled with sand. This is a place...... Well? ”

The colonel stopped abruptly and looked at his left-hand side, and after a moment he picked up the binoculars and looked at them carefully for a few seconds before he whispered, "God, that's the dust raised by another unit." ”

After saying that, the colonel turned around and patted the shoulder of the communications soldier who didn't know what he was thinking: "Quickly ask the headquarters by radio what other troops have been mobilized besides us and the 1st Division of the Anzac." ”

The signal corps immediately activated the radio and began to call the headquarters.

The 1st Anzac Division was stationed closer to its destination than the Indian 10th Brigade, and the 10th Brigade should not have seen the dust raised by the 1st Anzac Division in its northeast direction, it must have been some other unit.

While the signal corps called to headquarters, the colonel continued to observe the dust with his binoculars.

After a moment he muttered, "Judging by the dust, they're moving a little fast......"

The colonel put down his binoculars, took out the waterproof map he carried with him from his pocket, spread it out on his lap, and used his fingers to guide his gaze to sweep back and forth on the map several times.

"Strange thing, the nearest road to our northeast is fifty kilometers away, I can't see the smoke and dust kicked up by the troops marching on that road, that group should be moving on the sand right now, something that can move so fast on the sand......"

The colonel thought of the tank for a moment, but the British army was already very familiar with the tank at this time, so the colonel knew that the tank could not run at such off-road speed.

"If it's a car, it makes sense, but the car is going off-road in a place where there are no roads......

The Colonel whispered thoughtfully, he checked the map again, and then found that if he drove some distance further, he would probably be able to pass the long strip of low sand dunes that blocked his view, and then he would be able to see the true face of the Lushan Mountain of the galloping army.

The colonel suddenly had a bad premonition.

He suddenly thought that he should be careful, after all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years......

At that moment, something rushed over the dunes that the Colonel had been watching.

It appeared to be an armored vehicle, but it didn't have the tracks that the Colonel considered standard for armored vehicles, with four pairs of wheels instead of tracks, carrying a body with a sloping armor design. The iron cross on the body is clearly visible.

"Germans!" The colonel shouted.

At the same time, the muzzle of the German armored car, which had long been turned to the Indian army, began to spit fire.

**

Major Joseph, the commander of the armored reconnaissance battalion of the 90th Light Division, was taken aback by the fact that the number of enemies far exceeded his expectations.

"I'll go, it's a brigade." He exclaimed, "Don't worry about firing first." ”

So the hull machine gun and the top wire-controlled weapon station of the new wheeled armored vehicle, codenamed Jaguar, began to fire. The Jaguar's armament station was armed with a 40-mm cannon, the former being the main weapon when traveling at high speeds, and large grenadiers. The machine gun emitted a dull sound of firing, because it was a large caliber of 40 mm, the rate of fire naturally could not be as fast as that of a machine gun, and the rhythmic sound of fire was reminiscent of a three-quarter beat percussion.

However, at this time, the jaguar was maneuvering rapidly, and the shaking of the hull was quite severe, so the machine gun fire was not accurate at all, but the rate of fire only increased the probability of hitting from the probability. But it was enough, 40-mm shells exploded in the British convoy, and fragments hit the Indian soldiers who were crammed into the trucks in an incredible density.

Major Joseph shouted into the microphone: "All free fire, free fire!" ”

Joseph's command car had a high-power radio in the rear compartment and a telegraph operator, so it could not carry infantry, but the other vehicles in the battalion could carry four infantrymen in the rear, and the infantry had firing holes to shoot outside.

But Major Joseph himself knew very well how effective a shot could be from the narrow holes of such a galloping armored car, so he gave a new order: "All the cars, follow me, we cross the road from the front of the British column, and then turn and shoot at their ranks along the road." ”

As long as it is close enough, it can inflict great damage on the enemy, even on a bumpy jaguar.

After giving the order, Joseph decided to poke his head out to see what was going on, his gunner was trying to manipulate the weapon station, and to be honest, the Jaguar's weapon station had a very bad camera system, which was so bad that it was almost impossible to tell whether what looked like a human was an enemy or a friendly one, and could only see the general outline of a human figure - a terrible system, and it had to be removed from the official production version because of the "high price".

Joseph glanced at the screen, sighed silently again at the poor picture quality, and then pushed open the hatch above his head, and quietly poked his head out a little.

The weapon station set up in front of the hull blocked Joseph's view, and also provided some cover for Joseph's head, allowing him to observe the enemy attacked by his own troops more calmly.

He noted the number numbers and unit insignia on enemy vehicles.

"It looks like we're running into the Indian 10th Brigade." Identifying the insignia and number of enemy units was compulsory for every commander of a junior unit, and Joseph himself clearly remembered the number and insignia of every Commonwealth army in the entire identification manual.

Joseph bowed his head, took out a clipboard from the small compartment on the inner wall of the carriage, and added a sign to the map clipped to it, marking the location of the 10th Brigade.

At the same time, his command vehicle overtook the lead of the Indian military brigade, and the 40-mm gun of the on-board weapon station directly killed the jeep that was the lead.

Immediately after his car crossed the road and turned.

Joseph poked his head out again, this time to see the Indians staggered by their own side as they galloped along the road.

The Jaguar's greatest advantage is its speed, it was designed to execute a hit-and-run strategy at an astonishing speed, and when encountering a warrior or enemy armored unit, it uses up to ten sets of smoke grenade launchers on the vehicle to create huge smoke belts, and then smears oil on the soles of its feet.

In order to make the jaguar blazing fast on all terrains, German engineers equipped the jaguar with large diameter solid tires according to Lin Youde's idea, and the eight large tires gave the jaguar considerable off-road ability, but at the same time, the pursuit of reliability and simple suspension made the jaguar running wild with this solid tire into a terrible mount that can knock people apart.

As the first batch of 90 lightly armed reconnaissance battalions equipped with Jaguars, the soldiers have been circulating a saying: when the war is over, they will all be "dizzy" like old seamen, and they always feel that the ground is shaking.

At this time, Joseph once again lamented the poor stability of the jaguars, and even when they ran wildly against the British convoy, their shots had a touching dispersion rate, and many 40mm shells fell on the other side of the British convoy, and even hit the top of the sand dune they had just overcome.

"We have to report to the military industry that if we don't improve the suspension of this thing, its combat efficiency will be much lower than we expected."

"Sir," said the gunner, who had been concentrating on his gun, "actually, I think it might be nice to use a grenadier. ”

"Then use it."

As soon as Joseph finished speaking, his gunner fired a grenadier as if he had been waiting for this order, and the next moment Joseph saw the grenade explode on the other side of the road, which was quite good, and brought down a vote of fleeing Indians.

"Didn't you fire at the infantry?" Joseph asked.

"No, I don't actually know what I'm aiming at, just now the body of the car shook a little, and I can't see anything here."

"It looks like it's better to dismantle the weapon station and replace it with a decent two-man turret." Joseph commented, continued to observe the enemy, and after a moment he picked up the microphone again and ordered, "The enemy has broken up and is unable to fight again, and the whole battalion stops by the side of the road!" The infantry is ready to get off the vehicle and fight. Beware of enemies with anti-armor bazookas. The goal is to catch the interrogation alive, paying special attention to the officers, and we need their bunga. ”
