"Matilda" - ithangi lokusekela abantwana

Ukuqokwa kokuqala kwamabutho ahlomile ukuvimbela ukulwa nokulwa kwezinsana nokunciphisa imigqa yamatshe. Impi Yezwe Yesibili yachitha imibono emisiwe mayelana nemithetho yempi kanye nezindlela zamasu. Amacala amabutho amathangi angama-duels ngisho nempi yokulwa ayengavamile. Kodwa-ke, kwahlala kuyiqiniso ukuthi izimoto ezizivikelekile azikwazi ukuhlasela ngaphandle kwezingane.

Kodwa kuthiwani ngenye indlela ezungeze? Ingabe amabutho esitha angakwazi ukuhlasela izikhundla zesitha ngokwabo? Bangakwazi, kodwa kunzima. Phakathi neminyaka yesithathu, ohulumeni kanye nezinsizakalo zempi zamazwe aseNtshonalanga abazange banikeze abasebenzi bezempi ukubaluleka okwakufanelekile, kepha inqubekela phambili ethile yenzeke. I-tank yaseBrithani "iMatilda" I-A11 yakhulelwa njengomshini osekela amabutho aqhubekela phambili. I-low-power (injini engama-70 hp, njenge-Zhiguli), ehamba kancane (esheshayo kuya ku-13 km / h), engenazo izikhali zokulwa nezikhali, kodwa ifakwe ukubhuka okuhle, wayehlose ukuthi abakhiqizi bahlanganise ukushayela ngendwangu yakhe, badubula Isibhamu somshini sigxile embhoshongweni omncane.

Cishe yonke i-A11 yalahleka ngesikhathi sokuphunyuka okuphuthumayo kwebutho laseBrithani laseDunkirk ngo-1940.

Ngalesi sikhathi, i-"Matilda" entsha isivele ishicilelwe eNgilandi. I-tank yayithuthukisiwe kakhulu futhi yathola inkomba ye-A12 Senior (ephezulu). Imoto yayingeyona ephelele, kwakunzima ukuyiqhathanisa namamodeli asetshenziswa yi-Red Army. Umzimba wawukhishwa, futhi isitshalo samandla sasinezinjini ezimbili zama coaxial of 87 amalitha. Nge. Ukuqhathanisa: BT-7, ethanda ukubiza ngokuthi "engasebenzi", yayinemishini engama-diesel engama-400. Ukulinganisa kwe-40 mm turret kwakungaphansi kwesilinganiso sobuSoviet se-projectile engama-45 mm. Yiqiniso, abaseBrithani bazama ukufaka i-cannon enamandla kakhulu (50 mm) emathini aseMatilda. Isithombe sokushintshwa okunjalo sikhona, kodwa asizange sifike emaqenjini empi .

I-geography yesicelo sokulwa izwakala ngokuzwakalayo. El Alamein, Tobruk, Eritrea, Malta, Borneo, eNew Guinea - lawa angamanye amagama amagama lapho uMatilda enesikhathi sokulwa khona. I-tank, naphezu kwezici zezobuchwepheshe ezithobekile, ihlangene nomsebenzi wayo uma ingaphikisiwe ngabaphikisi abathintekayo. ENyakatho Afrika, izikhulu zase-Italy zazihlomile kakhulu kwezobuchwepheshe, amaJapane asePacific awakwazi ukuziqhayisa ngemishini enamandla.

Ngemva kokuhlaselwa kweJalimane lamaNazi e-USSR, uSir Win Win Churchill wayenesithakazelo kakhulu empumelelweni ye-Red Army ukuthi, ngokubeka eceleni ukulwa nobukhomanisi ngaleso sikhathi, futhi naphezu kokuhlupheka kwe-Great Britain, wanquma ukunikeza usizo lwezempi ezweni lethu. Phakathi kwamasampula ahlinzekwa ngemishini yempi kwakuyi "Matilda". Ithangi laliphansi kakhulu kubazalwane baseSoviet, kodwa, njengoba bekusho, ku-bezrybe ... Kuzozonke, cishe izimoto eziyinkulungwane zanikezwa. Ngo-1943, iSoviet Union yenqaba ukwamukela lezi zithuthi zempi, ukugcinwa kwayo kwakunenkinga, futhi ukulwa nokusebenza kwakungabaza kakhulu.

EBritish Army ngokwayo, kusukela ngo-1943, inqubo yokuvuselela isiqalo isesiqalile i-American "Shermans" kanye "nezibonelelo." Kwakukhona futhi ama-valentines angamaNgisi, ayengaphelele, kodwa angcono kuneMatilda. I-tank yaba nendima ekunqobeni amaNazi nabase- Italy abafake ama-fascists e-Afrika yaseshashalazini yokusebenza, futhi ukufaneleka kwalaba bantu baseBrithani ababenesibindi, babusa lo mshini onzima, ongathembeki futhi onamandla, bathola ukunqoba phezu kwesitha esinamandla nesilwazi.
