The 2 nozzles on the outer barrels cause the bullet tracers to intersect in front of the gun.

I usually imagine my own sounds with it, like `tjunk, tupdieyupdiedee` aaa enemy spotted, ratatatataboom

It is really getting difficult to post fresh PotDs every day. I think this one might have been posted before. Either here, or over at filefront. However, I can't resist to post these aircraft guns mounted on horse trailers.

Infantry support probably.
I wonder if there was any soviet infantry units without tank/AT support at that time?

Finnish jaegers (jääkäri) move throught birch forest during the continuation war. These lightly armed infantry units were regarded as the elite of the finnish army, and were sent wherever the fighting was heaviest. They used bicycles or skis to move (regarding to the season).

Anti-aircraft guns on trailers. On the left the trailer was pulled by an unarmoured Raupenschlepper Ost, on the right it is not recognizeable at all.

Was there any combat value for Toldi in 1944?

Why not? maybe some kind of reserve, i mean, Hungary didnt had the enough industries to produce enough tanks like the US or UK, and replace them all whit new models..
