Let's go!

The 1st Panzer Regiment, at the head of the whole army, made a rumbling sound from the diesel engines of the Panther tanks, the tracks crushed the ground, and the barrels were high. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Let's go!

The 1st Panzergrenadier Regiment followed behind the Panthers, using half-track 251 series armored personnel carriers, and on top of each vehicle were energetic Panzergrenadiers! In their hands, they hold MP36 submachine guns equipped with drums, and their fighting spirit is high!

Let's go!

The 2nd Panzergrenadiers, armed with wheeled infantry fighting vehicles with four-axle drive, followed the roads opened by the vehicles in front, and they followed!

Let's go!

The artillerymen, anti-tank troops, refueling trucks, and ammunition trucks of the division accompanied the army and embarked on the journey together!

The whole army, all mechanized! Their assault speed is quite fast!

The army, leaving the station, watching his most elite legion leave, Ciric sighed in his heart.

"The 1st Panzer Division is dispatched? That's great! Getting the news, Franco was overjoyed.

At the last meeting, it was said that Ciric finally agreed to bring in a new army, and he was the most effective SS in Germany! This makes Franco full of anticipation, and he will definitely be able to rush to the interior of Madrid!

At this time, he was in high spirits.

For this reason, he deliberately postponed the attack on Madrid, and a month ago, he made another tentative attack, and as a result, he was beaten out by the Madrid army!

Now, as long as the German armored forces are mobilized, they will be able to have sufficient backup and enter Madrid in one go!

Time passed little by little, and the armored forces were never seen, and Franco could not sit still.

He ran out onto the road, stood on a truck, and looked in the distance, in the direction of Ciric's station.

What about tanks? What about tanks?

Those little tanks in Italy, they simply can't charge! Only the German strong Panther tank is not afraid of any anti-tank weapons of the other side, rush up and kill the other side!

The sun, turning to the south, slipped down to the west, and remained until dark, without waiting for the German armored forces.

What's going on?

Franco sat disappointed on the hood of his car, looking at the fiery clouds in the west, his face disappointed.

"General, General!" At this moment, José, the commander of the Central Army, hurriedly ran over and said to him: "The German armored forces are attacking Enaresburg!" ”

Castello de Henares, the eastern city of Madrid, can also be said to be the eastern gate of Madrid, located 35 kilometers from Madrid.

With Madrid as the dividing line, the western part is all under the control of the National Army, while the eastern part is still firmly in the hands of the Republican Army.

As an important place for the transfer of supplies, there are still a large number of munitions stored in Fort Henares!

And the Republican Army, which did not expect Franco's men at all, actually gave up attacking Madrid and raided here, and now, there are only more than a thousand people guarding here!

At dusk, the battle for Fort Henares officially began.

"Woo, woo." JU87 Stuka dive bomber, let out a sharp whistle, dived towards the position of the Republican Army on the ground, this terrible howl, immediately caused the Republican soldiers on the ground to scatter in all directions.

They are afraid, and their hearts are full of fear.

Throughout the Spanish Civil War, the Stuka bomber brought fear to the Republican Army!

"Boom!" The dropped bombs accurately hit a solid machine-gun bunker on the ground, and the entire top of the concrete fortification was blown open with a large opening, and half of the wall collapsed.

"Can't be returned, can't be returned!" An officer of the Republican Army tried to control his army, but when a rumbling tank appeared in front of him, he could not contain the fear in his heart.

Those tanks, they look terrible! The tall and mighty man, the sturdy body, and the towering barrel are all so powerful.

That's simply invincible!

Inside the Panther 1 tank numbered 006 at the front, Commander Mitchell Wittman, looks through the observation window and looks out there.

He was a tall, handsome Germanic man who wore a crisp armored uniform and a ship-shaped military cap.

If you look at documentaries, or photos from the Second World War, you can find a very interesting phenomenon, the Soviet tank crews all wore thick tank caps, even until later, for example, when it came to the T-72, this kind of equipment.

Why is that? Of course, I'm afraid of hitting my head!

The tank is in a state of jolting, if you don't pay attention, your head is easy to bump into something, if you haven't entered the inside of the tank, if you go in for the first time, even if the tank doesn't move, it's easy to hit your head.

However, Germany does not have it, and German tank crews also have special tank caps that are issued, but many times, they wear their handsome military caps directly.

Why?

From the outside, just look at the attitude of the tank, six pairs of large-diameter load-bearing wheels are shaking up and down, constantly buffering the force of impact through the torsion bar, while the body of the tank does not shake much.

The torsion bar is the key to the Panther tank! After many times of debugging, this suspension system of the Panther tank is moderately soft and hard, and the ride is stable. In addition to this reason, if you enter the inside of the tank, you can find that the Panther tank has a large internal space. What's more, the internal sidewalls have leather soft pads!

Germany's craftsmanship and excellence in the quality of tanks can be reflected in these aspects.

And another reason is that Wittman's head is wearing headphones in addition to a military cap!

Compared with Soviet tanks, German tanks are already equipped with radios as standard, and all combat vehicles have radios!

Therefore, wearing a military cap, it is easy to hang headphones, and if it is a thick tank cap, it is impossible to hang headphones.

Wittman, who is also excited in his heart, has been training for several years, and now, he has finally truly entered the battlefield! As the son of a German peasant, Weittmann always had a desire to serve his country.

Wittmann was born on April 22, 1914 in Fogelso, near Englis, Upper Pfazbyer.

Historically, he served in the "German Labor Army" in 1934. After that, he served in the 19th Company of the 10th Infantry Regiment.

On April 5, 1937, he joined the Waffen-SS and received driver training, and was promoted to sergeant during the Polish campaign, commanding 1 8-wheeled armored vehicle; In February 1940 he was transferred to the SS "Adolf? Hitler's Brigade Assault Gun Battalion, commanding 6 assault guns No. III.

And now, the trajectory of his life has also taken a big turn, and in 34 years, he joined the 1st Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS and became a tank soldier.

Now he is already the commander of this tank! And from now on, it is the dawn of Wittmann's glorious era!
