The  7.5 cm leichtes Infanteriegeschütz 18  - 7.5 cm le.IG 18 – or 7.5cm Light Infantry Gun was an small infantry support howitzer used extensively by the Wehrmacht infantry throughout World War II. Originally produced in 1927, early designs had wooden wheels and was towed by horses. Later versions received pneumatic tires and were towed by small artillery tractors or wheeled vehicles. The le.IG 18 was small enough that it could be readily manhandled into firing position by its crews and it’s unique shotgun-style breech made loading simple and fast. Over 12,000 le.IG 18s were produced through World War II where it served as a light support gun for the hard-pressed German infantry on all fronts. There were also “Pack” versions of the le.IG 18, which could be broken down into smaller loads, and used by mountain or airborne troops.

The le.IG 18 is currently being offered free kit with any purchase of $100 through October 16th, from Brickmania.com or the Brickmania Toyworks Open House on Saturday, October 12th. There’s no need to put this in the shopping cart or use any special coupon – we’ll automatically add it to your order.

BACKGROUND

The French 75mm Field Gun (“Matériel de 75mm Mle 1897″) is widely considered to be the first modern artillery piece. Adopted by the French army in 1897, it was the first gun to be equipped with a hydro-preumatic recoil system, which allowed the gun to be fired in place without re-aiming between each round. Other advanced featured included a quick-operating screw breech mechanism and singe piece ammunition (warhead attached to a propellent-filled brass “shell” casing).

A well-trained 75mm crew could fire up to 30 rounds per minute.

Originally designed to deliver shrapnel rounds against large infantry formations, the battle conditions of World War I saw the adaptation of high explosive and chemical warheads. In addition to be ing the main artillery piece of the French Army, more than 2000 were supplied to the American Expeditionary Force during World War I.

There was also a truck-mounted anti-aircraft version of this versatile weapon. Modernized versions of the 75mm Mle 1897 saw combat during World War II

As World War I raged in Europe, the US Army found itself in need of a modern artillery piece should America decide to become involved. The French 75mm Modele 1897 was the best canditiate and is widely considered by historians to be the first modern cannon. It was the first to be fitted with a hydropneumatic recoil mechanism, which meant it could be fired and reloaded without having to reposition the gun. When America entered the war, the US Army adopted the French design for it’s field artillery batteries, and fielded more than 1900 guns by the war’s end. Domestic production began in spring of 1918, but most guns used during the war were French manufactured. The M1897 again saw service in World War II, with many being exported to Great Britain under lend-lease agreements, and others being adapted to anti-tank guns.

The ZiS-3 76mm Field Gun (Officially designated M1942 Divisional Gun) was the most common medium artillery piece used by the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. Due to the innovated addition of the massive muzzle brake, pre-war 76mm gun barrels could be mated to the light weight ZiS-2 anti-tank gun carriage. This created a compact, mobile, inexpensive, versatile and easy to produce artillery piece that was called, “A masterpiece of artillery systems design.” by Joseph Stalin. The ZiS-3 gun was the main armament used for the Su-76 self-propelled gun. Most ZiS-3 guns were withdrawn from the Red Army after World War II and were later supplied to satellite states. The ZiS-3 was used by communist forces in both the Korean and Vietnam wars.
