The decisive battle against the Third Reich

I've caught a cold these past few days, so I'm temporarily changing it to two updates. I'll do another update in a few days when the cold is better. Although a cold is not a disease, it's very uncomfortable to be dizzy, sneezing, and have a runny nose while writing. I'll bear with you, book friends!

Colonel Conrad did indeed keep his promise, and the first batch of one hundred "Iron Fists" was shipped to North Africa a few days later.

Of course, the 1st Infantry Regiment was the first unit to be equipped with "Iron Fist".

Along with this batch of equipment was sent a team of instructors... They were obviously here to train German soldiers to use the "Iron Fist".

The instructor assigned to the second company was a young second lieutenant named Lange. He looked a little shy. Later Qin Chuan learned that this was because he had just graduated from the military academy and had not been on the battlefield yet.

"Hello!" Instructor Lange stood in front of Qin Chuan and others. His tone and demeanor were completely unlike an instructor: "I'm glad to meet you. I have been ordered to teach you how to use a brand new equipment... Look, this is it! "

As he spoke, Langer knelt down and took out an "Iron Fist", raised it towards the soldiers, and said: "We call it the 'Iron Fist', it is used for anti-tank!"

Because Langer had no airs as an instructor at all, a German soldier soon asked: "Can this little guy be used as an anti-tank? Instructor, you don't think that the enemy's tanks are made of paper, do you?"

The soldiers laughed.

"No, no!" Langer blushed and explained: "You may not think it's small, but it can penetrate the enemy's 140MM thick armor..."

"Oh!" A German soldier laughed: "140MM thick paper armor!"

The soldiers laughed again.

At this time, Bazel, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand listening anymore. He stood in front of the team with a sonorous voice, and the team immediately became silent.

"Are you laughing at the 'Iron Fist'?" Bazel said: "If you think it can only penetrate 140MM thick paper, then you can choose to give it a try..."

The troops fell silent instantly, of course no one would be willing to do this.

"There is one more thing I need to tell you!" Bazel glanced at Qin Chuan and then said: "You may not know that the 'Iron Fist' was invented by Second Lieutenant Frick. When you question the 'Iron Fist', do you have Do you think this is questioning Lieutenant Frick?"

The soldiers couldn't help but cast surprised looks at Qin Chuan, including Lange. Many of them couldn't believe it. Only when Qin Chuan didn't object did they know that what Bazel said was true.

"And there is an episode!" Bazel continued: "After our respected head of state learned about the performance of the 'Iron Fist', his first reaction was to put them on the Eastern Front battlefield to deal with those Ivans. They, that is to say, we didn’t have it originally. But with Lieutenant Frick’s efforts, we finally got this batch of equipment, but you ignored it!”

"Ignorance, idiot, extremely stupid!" Bazel became more and more fierce as he scolded, and he clicked his fingers in the air: "I feel ashamed of you... Everyone is rushing to get them, but you use them as fire sticks; Free Second Lieutenant Ke worked hard to fight for you, but you laughed at him; even the Yuan Dynasty paid great attention to him, but in your eyes it is worthless! "

The German soldiers couldn't help but feel ashamed on their faces.

"So!" Then Bazel said: "Now tell me, do you need this batch of equipment?"

"Needed, sir!"

"Are you willing to study with Lieutenant Lange?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Will you take the 'Iron Fist' to the battlefield and blow up the enemy's tanks?"

"Yes, sir!"

As expected, Bazel was able to mobilize the enthusiasm of all the soldiers in just a few words.

Then Bazel turned to Lange: "Leave it to you, Second Lieutenant!"

"Uh..." Langer was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sorry, I'm a little nervous, because I didn't expect the inventor of 'Iron Fist' to be among you. This makes me feel like I'm showing off. Maybe we should let Frank Lieutenant Rick..."

"No, instructor!" Qin Chuan said: "This is the first time I have seen the 'Iron Fist', and I don't know how to use it!"

"Oh, yes!" Langer smiled sheepishly, and then said: "Actually, it is very simple to use..."

Langer said while demonstrating: "For the sake of transportation safety, we transport the fuses separately. You should do the same in the future, otherwise it may 'bang'... You know, it is not comfortable to be hit by this guy, and you will instantly Roasted by several high-temperature metal jets!”

"So you should do this!" Langer said while installing the fuze: "First install the fuze, hold the barrel under your arm like me, and then turn on the safety and sight... Be sure to pay attention at this time. Make sure there is no one behind you, because the flames will burn the comrades behind you. Of course, you don’t have to worry about this if there are enemies behind you!”

The soldiers were all amused by Lange's words.

"Then it's aiming!" Langer said: "Use the scale on the sight, the outline of the warhead and the three points of the tank to line up...Then press to launch a few..."

With just a "expanding" sound, the warhead was ejected, and a steel plate standing 30 meters immediately exploded into a stream of green smoke.

The steel plate looked like nothing on the surface, but after the smoke cleared, the soldiers discovered that there were many small holes in the steel plate.

The German soldiers changed their colors one after another, because the steel plate was taken from the "Matilda" tank and was at least 70mm thick. This thing that was not easy to deal with with tank guns was easily penetrated by the "Iron Fist".

"As I said before!" Lieutenant Lange said: "It can penetrate 140mm of armor. So, what you have to consider is how to get thirty meters close to the enemy tank!"

"Wow!" During free practice, Werner walked up to Qin Chuan with an "Iron Fist" and his eyes were full of admiration: "You invented it!"

"This is nothing!" Qin Chuan replied: "It's just another kind of 'English crossbow', isn't it?"

"You are right!" Werner said: "But we have all seen the 'English Crossbow', but no one has thought of doing this!"

"It is indeed a good thing, Lieutenant!" The baker looked at it with an "Iron Fist": "With it, at least we don't have to run to the tank to blow it up with anti-tank grenades or explosive packets! "

"Haven't you ever thought that we can bring a large number of these things with us when we parachute?" Alfredo said: "It is much easier to carry than an anti-tank gun!"

"Yes!" The German soldiers agreed one after another.

At this time, several German soldiers came forward and said to Qin Chuan: "Please forgive our ignorance, Second Lieutenant, we don't know the power of the 'Iron Fist', let alone that you invented it!"

"No, it's okay!" Qin Chuan patted their shoulders.

Qin Chuan truly felt the respect and trust the soldiers had for him. It was not easy to gain these, especially on the battlefield.
