The Brummbär Assault Gun is a self-propelled gun developed by Germany during World War II. The official name of the German side is Sturmpanzer IV, with the system number Sd.Kfz.166. It is constructed on the base chassis of the Panzer IV for the purpose of infantry support. German soldiers usually call it "Stupa", which is an abbreviation of Strumpanzer (assault tank).
For the German army, whose tactics are based on total blitzkrieg, any urban offensive is a complete nightmare. From 1941 to 1942, the German army almost did not get much benefit from street battles. Entering vertically and going out horizontally became the daily routine of the German army. The tragic battle damage sustained couldn't help but make the Germans re-examine the problems of street fighting. It seems timely by then for them to make an assault gun dedicated for street fighting. The Brummbär Type was developed on the basis of the Panzer IV tank, and was designed to accompany the infantry force to advance and provide direct fire support for large-calibre infantry guns on the urban battlefield.
The total weight of the Brummbär Assault Gun is 28.2 tons, with 5 crew members. There is nothing to say about its infrastructure, that is, it is equipped with a fixed combat room on the chassis of the No. 4 tank, and at the same time, it is loaded with a heavy assault gun of a Skoda 150mm short-diameter howitzer. Compared with the previously hastily built Type 33 assault gun, the armour of the Brummbär Assault Gun is thicker. The front armour thickness of the body is 80 mm thick, and the front of the combat room is also 100 mm thick, and there is also a 40-degree inclination angle. The side armour is 50 mm, the rear armour is 30 mm, and the top is 20 mm thick. Defence performance is directly stretched to the limit for that period.
As for the 150mm short-diameter howitzer of the Brummbär Assault Gun, its calibre is quite large, but the diameter is actually only 12 times. It has a typical mouth and a short body. It is no exaggeration to liken this howitzer to a mortar. The high and low transverse range of this howitzer is 5-+30 degrees, and the direction range is 10 degrees each on the left and right, with 38 rounds of ammunition. The ammunition is mainly grenades, because it is impossible for 150mm shells to use full-loaded ammunition, so the shells use split-loaded ammunition. To put it plainly, the Brummbär Assault Cannon is a veritable tool for street battle demolition.

巷战拆迁利器-灰熊突击炮

灰熊式突击炮是第二次世界大战时期由德国所开发自走炮，德国方面的正式名称为IV号突击坦克(SturmpanzerIV)，制式编号Sd.Kfz.166。它是以步兵支援为目的，以IV号坦克的底盘为基础所制造出来的。德军士兵习惯上称其为“Stupa”，是取Strumpanzer(突击坦克)的简称。
对于所有战术都围绕闪电战准备的德军而言，城市攻坚战就是彻头彻尾的噩梦。从1941年到1942年，德军差不多就没在巷战里捞到什么好处，竖着进来，横着出去成了德军的巷战日常。惨烈的战损不由得让德军重新审视起了巷战问题，看起来是时候搞一款巷战专用的突击炮了。灰熊式是以IV号坦克为基础来开发，而以伴随步兵部队前进，在战场(特别是城市战斗)中提供大口径步兵炮的直接火力支援为目的所设计出来的。
灰熊突击炮战斗全重为28.2吨，乘员5人。其基础结构没什么好说的，就是在四号坦克底盘上配固定战斗室，同时装载一门斯柯达150毫米短倍径榴弹炮的重型突击炮。相比于之前仓促造的33型突击炮，灰熊突击炮的装甲更为厚重了，车体正面装甲厚度足有80毫米厚，战斗室正面也有100毫米厚，而且还有40度倾斜角，侧面装甲50毫米，后部装甲30毫米，顶部都有20毫米，防御性能直接拉到当时的极限数值。
至于灰熊突击炮的那门150毫米短倍径榴弹炮，它的口径固然是挺大的，可这倍径其实只有12倍径，典型口大身短，把这门榴弹炮归结为臼炮也不为过。这门榴弹炮的高低射界为5-+30度，方向射界为左右各10度，备弹基数38发。弹药主要以榴弹为主，因为150毫米炮弹不可能采用整装式弹药，所以其炮弹采用了分装式弹药。毫不客气的说，灰熊突击炮是名副其实的巷战拆迁利器。
