The weapons configurations on German armored reconnaissance vehicles are actually not suitable for fighting the current battles. Many people may have misunderstandings that the machine guns and machine guns on armored vehicles are set up to attack enemy infantry units. Although this is correct, the main task of these weapons in actual combat is to attack enemy fire points and suppress the opponent's machine gun fire.

Armored vehicles are a stable shooting platform. The precise sighting system allows vehicle-mounted machine guns and machine guns to obtain an effective range farther than their peers, and can accurately strike the target outside the effective range of enemy machine guns. At the same time, the armored shell gives the shooter better protection, allowing him to aim more with confidence in the rain of bullets.

In order to obtain better shooting accuracy, the turret weapons of armored vehicles sacrifice operational flexibility. The change in firing direction and shooting angle requires adjustments based on the operating handwheel. These characteristics make these vehicles very scary when suppressing shooting at long distances, but they will be relatively slow to respond when dealing with high-speed moving cluster targets.

The kk30 20mm machine gun on the 231 armored vehicle uses a standard ten round magazine. The firepower can only last for four seconds if it is fired continuously. Although the warhead has an astonishing lethality, when the target is always moving quickly, a 20mm high-explosive bomb can often kill one or two unlucky cavalry. In comparison, the casualties caused by the coaxial machine gun is higher. After all, it uses a 150 round chain, which lasts longer and has a larger coverage area.

But the problem is that the rate of fire of mg34 is still too fast. One hundred and fifty shots lasted a few seconds longer than the machine gun. Facing the alien cavalry that was charging towards him wildly, the shooter had no intention of shooting any point, but directly pulled the trigger to death.

The officers and soldiers of the second platoon had rich battlefield experience. When they were still in the third armored division sequence, the Third Motorized Reconnaissance Battalion fought many tough battles on the French battlefield and defeated the resistance of many French infantry companies.

However, this was the first time they had fought with the enemy's cavalry units since they joined the army. Because of their lack of experience in this area, the platoon leader made a small mistake in command. He underestimated the cavalry's sprint speed and in order to annihilate the opponent, he put the enemy too close.

Although in the first wave of shooting, the second row almost killed one-sixth of the enemy, the armored vehicles quickly finished the magazine and showed a clear gap in firepower. At the same time, the Bedouin cavalry showed the Germans their tenacious and tough side. They did not quickly disintegrate under firepower like the enemies the Germans encountered before, but instead seized the Germans' brief fire gap for more than ten seconds, continued to charge, and quickly narrowed the distance between the enemy and us.

The 50-mm cannon of the Sabertooth Tiger is not more useful than a machine gun in this case. Although Snar loaded high-explosive shrapnel in the barrel, he only killed and injured several cavalry near the landing point of the shell, and did not have the appropriate hysteresis and intimidation effect. However, the coaxial mg40 machine gun next to the cannon, with the chariot's inspiration, relied on turning the turret to shoot a beautiful fan, and overturned more than a dozen Bedouin riders in succession. But this is also the limit that Snar's crew can achieve. The rate of fire of the mg40 is even more terrifying than that of the mg34, and one hundred and fifty rounds of ammunition were consumed almost instantly.

However, the advantage is still on the German side. The Arabs only possessed some light weapons and could not cause substantial damage to German armored vehicles.

These Bedouin cavalry were all equipped with British Lienfield cavalry rifles. These short-barrel rifles sacrificed part of the range, and other indicators were no different from conventional rifles. The Saudi royal family preferred German weapons, and the royal direct troops were equipped with Mauser rifles produced by Germany. As a close ally of the royal family, the Zhuhaina tribe received two thousand Lienfield cavalry rifles donated by the British. Adil was assigned 500 rifles, most of which were equipped on the direct troops.

These soldiers had never fought with armored vehicles. They didn't know that their bullets could not penetrate the armor of these vehicles, so on the way to charge, they were still shooting at German armored vehicles.

The British provided the Arabs with only conventional lead-core warheads. The appearance of the German armored vehicles looked like they were hit by Mars. In fact, at most the body of the vehicle was damaged by a little paint, and several bullet holes were just penetrated in the fenders and toolboxes.

Although the cavalry were attacked all the way, they quickly approached 150 meters, and they could rush into the German formation in a dozen seconds at most. At this time, there were only more than 120 elite Arab cavalry left, and the rest of the soldiers had fallen on the way to charge.

"It's so great! Oh giggle" The cavalry praised the gods loudly and made all kinds of strange battle cry. They seemed to see a glimmer of hope for victory. All the strange vehicles had stopped shooting. Perhaps the people in the car were injured or they might have used up the ammunition they carried.

"Roar forward!" Adil shouted to his subordinates.

The government officials miraculously survived the charge. You should know that he was in the first row of the team at that time. All the riders who charged side by side with him had fallen down at this time, including the cavalry captain Faruge. The Bedouin warrior with extraordinary martial arts was obviously not very lucky. When the first wave of guns rang, he and his horse disappeared in the charge team.

Adil himself didn't understand how he rushed out of that terrible ammunition, but he firmly believed that it must be the arrangement of the True God, and he was obviously favored by the True God. Since he was protected by the True God, he would never fail. The government official mustered up the courage again. He believed that as long as he rushed to the edge of these armored vehicles, he would definitely find a way to solve these monsters.

But the next second, the government official suddenly realized that all this was just a joke played by the True God. He was not protected by any means, but more like he was being cursed by a vicious curse.

The seventy cavalrymen on the right side of the road were violently attacked from the flanks. Three rows of platoons advancing along the coast were successfully interspersed between the cavalry team and the coast. The platoon leader adapted to the situation and transformed the troops from the storm formation into a column. Almost parallel to the cavalry, the on-board machine gunners overturned the Bedouin soldiers one by one as easily as shooting a target.

But this is not the end. It is just the beginning of a massacre. Just as the right-wing cavalry was in chaos, the left wing where Adil was located was suddenly attacked by ground forces.

Just on the left side of the road (Arabian's perspective) 70 meters away from the road surface, there is an inconspicuous low earth beam, which may have been caused by natural weathering, and another wonderful work of nature. At this time, a row of heads with steel helmets suddenly appeared on the earth beam, and then, like a volcanic eruption, pouring bullets at the cavalry overwhelmingly.

Adil looked at it briefly and saw that at least ten machine guns were equipped on the other side. This was a very terrible number, enough to crush the courage of the bravest Bedouin warriors in the tribe, making them lose the confidence to continue fighting.

"Ah!" Adil let out a shrill howl, as if he had seen his fate.

The unwilling government official inserted the revolver back to his waist, holding a scimitar in one hand and holding the reins with the other hand. The white Arabian horse stopped his body hard. The desert elf neighed and stood upright, raised his two forelimbs high, and stepped on the horse's hooves towards the air.

Just as the cavalry were still puzzled by their master's strange behavior, a scene that they could not believe happened. The chief they admired the most, the noble Yan Putrajaya government official, and the great Emir, actually turned his horse's head on the next moment and began to escape to the wilderness on the left side of the road.

The morale of Bedouin's elite cavalry completely collapsed at this moment.
