A gentle gust of wind awakens the body that has been sleeping for a thousand years; a gentle gust of wind blows away the mysterious veil of history. Standing on the shoulders of time, I talk to history.
Compared with the fierce hardships of the Eastern Front, the Western Front of Europe in World War II can be described as lackluster.
No, when the author of "Another Line of Tears in Germany" interviewed a German soldier who had been stationed in Italy for several years, He could deeply feel that his kind of standing and talking did not hurt.
The main judgment was that it was a very small battle, which was the thing he was most proud of.
By that time the Allies had landed in Italy, and their troops were ordered to withdraw back to china and run north.
At this time, the Allies also rushed forward, not bothering to take care of the small German troops.
But one night, his unit had a sudden encounter with the British—we quickly unfolded our ranks, a row of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets rattled over, and the British immediately raised the great white flag aloft....

He also laughed, look, this is the British value, if there is hope to fight, no hope to surrender, fight to the last? Tied grenades and killed with the enemy? Impossible, life is the most precious.
Having surrendered at the first touch of the British, I seriously doubted that Deeper had misremembered because he was too old — 91 in an interview.
However, speaking of which, the anti-aircraft machine gun is flat,000, and it is indeed not a joke.
In the same book, there is a family of four brothers who have joined the army, and the interview is Roddy, who met with his second brother in the Soviet battlefield and took a picture. But that was their last group photo.
Later, the second brother withdrew to the domestic fortification, and in a battle, he was hit in the head by a flat-fired Soviet anti-aircraft machine gun... Half of the face is gone.
Many years ago, I also heard my neighbor uncle say that when he was fighting with the Americans, a comrade-in-arms was also hit by a flat-fired anti-aircraft machine gun, and a big hole was punched in the chest.
Of course, these are all heard and not seen, but there are two examples of the power of machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
The first is an old photo, saying that Makqin is selling his newly developed machine gun all over the world, and when he arrived in China, he showed it to Li Zhongtang.
In half a minute, a very thick tree was broken.
Li Hongzhang was very interested, asked about the rate of fire, got 600 rounds of answers per minute, and later, let people try it.

It's just that the original gun is not very perfect, and the prototype is naturally not easy to use, so it is gone....
Of course, from this old photo, we can see that the new machine gun has the potential to change the era.
Indeed, in the later World War I, a large number of soldiers on both sides were harvested like leeks by Maxim machine guns... Infantry tactics have since changed, and machine guns have become the absolute core.
After that, countries invented more and more powerful machine guns, large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, not always have aircraft to fight, many times, become a weapon to suppress infantry, penetrate chariots, and break bunkers.
In the first blood 4, Rambo's American-made M-2HB 12.7 mm machine gun, firing relentless bullets at high speed, was hit... Hey, don't say it, miserable. Those who have seen it naturally know, and those who have not seen it will know it when they look at it.
A German soldier sighed so much, MG34 is good enough, MG42 rate of fire is much faster, but the deputy shooter needs to carry more bullets, and one bullet on an enemy is enough, there is no need to splash the bullet like water over it...).
