Chapter 913: Forcing the Belgians to Surrender

When we entered West Germany from the border, the first people we encountered were the German border guards and armored forces. As a result, we won without bloodshed!

Karl-Heinz-Mashner led his tank troops at a furious speed. When they drove onto the highway, in order to speed up, Karl even ordered his "******-Empacher" tank regiment to drive directly onto the road!

The tracks of the T-72 are of the single-pin type, with the pin ears hanging with rubber. This method is definitely not as strong as the Western double-pin tracks. After a period of time, the rubber blocks on top will fall off. Up to now, it is considered good if half of the tank tracks can be covered with rubber!

Therefore, driving directly onto the highway will cause great damage to the highway.

At this time, there is no need to worry about so much! Karl's tank regiment's mission is to go all the way west. On his offensive route, there is a big target like the headquarters of the Second Hanoverian Army!

94 T-72 tanks rumbled forward in a long line. If there were a few Apaches in the sky, they would suffer a devastating blow!

However, now, there is nothing in the sky, it is extremely quiet, with only the roar of the tanks moving forward!

So, in less than two hours, they attacked Hanover!

Now, the huge tank force has completely surrounded this place, and opposite them, more than a dozen Leopard 1 tanks are the main force of the Belgian army.

Looking at the Belgian infantry hiding behind the tanks, Colonel Karl showed a look of contempt on his face. He pushed open the hatch on his head, got out, raised a tweeter, and shouted loudly: "Hey, our compatriots, listen up, we are here to save you!"

"We are all of the same nation, the same country. Who is dividing us? Who is making us kill each other? You should all have guessed it. The reason behind this is the United States!"

"Mr. Günter Rall has always wanted to promote the unification of our Germany. This visit to East Germany is a firm step forward. Unfortunately, his plan was controlled by the Americans before it could be carried out! We are here now to call on our compatriots to stand up! As long as we unite as one, Germany will be strong!"

"Listen, Belgians on the other side. You cannot occupy Germany! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately! We know that you have controlled the senior commander of the Second Army. As long as you surrender now, it is not too late! If you continue to resist, we can only use force!"

As if in response to his words, the gun barrel of the T-72 tank on this side began to rotate and aimed at the Leopard 1 tanks in front.

The Leopard 1 tank is a main battle tank developed by the Federal Republic of Germany and produced by the Armament Division of Krauss-Maffei GmbH and Krupp-Mac Maschinenbau GmbH. It was delivered to the Federal German Army in September 1965, and more than 300 were exported to Belgium afterwards. It is Belgium's main ground tank.

It can be said that this type of tank is still a tank from the 1960s. That is, it has certain performance advantages against the huge T-55 and T-62 clusters. In front of the T-72, it has no chance of survival at all.

After all, the armor plate of this tank is relatively thin, which can only protect against shrapnel of explosive grenades, and in close combat conditions, it can only protect against weapons with a caliber of less than 20mm. It can be said that this tank is at best a heavy infantry fighting vehicle with a protection level.

The turret of this tank is a cast structure with a good bulletproof appearance, but the armor is also thin and the protection is weak. Germany is advanced in engine and firepower, but in terms of armor, it is also weak in the Leopard 2 era.

To improve the turret's protection, the Leopard 1A1 tank turret was equipped with shield armor starting in 1975. The shield armor was divided into several pieces, all with rubber linings, which were installed on the shield, both sides of the turret body and the outside of the tail frame. The armor protection of the subsequent Leopard 1A2 tanks was enhanced, and the Leopard 1A3 and Leopard 1A4 tanks adopted a newly designed welded turret. The non-homogeneous turret armor greatly improved the protection of these tanks, and the turret structure also changed.

However, no matter what kind of turret it is, this type of tank can never defend against the attack of the T-72's 125mm tank gun!

Especially now, the distance between the two sides is less than 500 meters. As soon as the fire is opened, the Leopard 1 tanks here will surely explode one after another!

It is still unknown whether the Leopard 1's 105mm tank gun can destroy the opposing T-72 tank.

The Belgian soldiers were terrified at this time. They knew that their resistance was futile. At the same time, they didn't know whether they should die on the battlefield.

Captain Carl on this side did not give the opponent any chance. Although Captain Carl had half of his body exposed without any protection, he still continued to threaten the opponent arrogantly.

"Now, I'll start counting, and on the count of three, we'll fire!"

"One, two..."

"Surrender, we surrender!" The other side shouted: "Please don't fire!"

There is no need for the Belgians to be annihilated here!

Historically, small Belgium performed very well in both world wars. During World War I, Germany attacked France, thinking that Belgium, such a small country, could be conquered by passing through. Unexpectedly, France relied on the tenacious resistance of the Liege Fortress and took more than two weeks to pass through Belgium. Moreover, the Belgians guarded the remaining 10% of the territory until the end of the war. During World War II, Germany defeated Denmark in 4 hours, and the Netherlands, which was larger than Belgium, surrendered in 4 days, but Belgium fought tenaciously for 18 days before surrendering. After that, the Belgians helped Dunkirk hold out for 24 hours, otherwise, the French and British troops would never have been able to withdraw from the European continent.

Although there are various other explanations, the strong combat effectiveness of the Belgian army is also one of the reasons.

However, after the end of World War II, the Belgians' bloodiness gradually disappeared. In later generations, the Belgians were even more like softies. For example, in the United Nations, more than a dozen Belgian peacekeeping soldiers were frightened by the Hutu militia who dismembered them with machetes. As a result, the Belgian peacekeeping force did not dare to go out again and immediately packed up and left.

And now, the Belgians were also softies. When faced with East German tanks and artillery, they immediately chose to surrender!
