Chapter 672 Leading technology
If the mine is pressed or ignited by the molten bottle, the Soviets can accept these, but they absolutely cannot accept that their tanks were actually penetrated by the opponent's anti-tank gun!
The 130mm thick turret armor was actually penetrated by the opponent?
Several tank soldiers in the kv-1 tank no longer had the chance to know the truth. Behind, the company commander Glevic, who was urgently repairing the tracks, suddenly changed his face after hearing the news. It was impossible, absolutely impossible!
He put down the sledgehammer in his hand, stood at the top of the turret, and used his telescope to watch the battle situation on the battlefield in the distance.
At this time, our KV-1 tanks rushed in the front, on both sides, followed by light tanks such as BT-1 and T-26, and behind them, followed by a large number of infantry soldiers.
At this time, the nearest tank was almost about to rush to the opponent's defense line, and at this moment, the situation changed.
A tank was burning. Looking at it, it was because of the violent combustion of internal ammunition. How could it be like this?
Then, he saw clearly that another tank was hit by a shell shot from the opponent while advancing at high speed, and then it was exploded!
How could his hand be clenched into a fist?
"Hurry, use the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bomb in the ammunition box!" When Pattifer discovered this problem, he immediately shouted loudly. The news soon spread throughout the position.
At this time, other anti-tank gunners were working hard. They found their shells that could not penetrate the opponent's tanks. They were anxious. After receiving the news, they immediately realized.
We can't blame them. Anti-tank guns were transported recently. After they arrived, they immediately started rigorous training. However, in their daily training, how to operate the cannons, aim, and load them. Some gun groups have not even fired live ammunition. Even if they were shooting, the most of them have only fired two.
In this case, they had not mastered it thoroughly, and they had never opened this ammunition box. They were not clear about the ammunition configuration inside. The volunteers from Germany were not clear about it, and they all thought it was just ordinary steel armor-piercing bombs. Originally, the firepower of this anti-tank gun was more than enough. How could they have thought that the Soviets actually used a killing weapon!
Pattifo's gun group fired the most shells, so they used the tungsten alloy armor-piercing shell on the bottom layer, and the rest of the gun group almost used up the steel armor-piercing shell on the upper layer.
And now, when we learned the news, the situation immediately reversed!
Remove the ammunition box, take out the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet inside, load it first, and kill the terrifying heavy tank that rushed over!
For the Soviets, the kv-1 tank was their magic weapon, and on the battlefield, it was unacceptable that they could not accept the damage rate.
Like now, after being killed four or five vehicles, they immediately gave up the attack. Glevic ordered the attack to stop and could no longer rush up and die!
A military and several divisions were dispatched, and the first attack was in full swing, but they failed like this. They did not even cross the front of the defense line!
This counterattack war heavily hit the arrogance of the Soviets, letting them know that Finland is definitely not a piece of meat and let them slaughter it!
At the same time, the news also spread back to Western Europe and to Paris.
At this time, military operations against Britain were in full swing. Although Cialek had a group of capable and loyal subordinates, his daily affairs were still full of arrangements.
For example, now, just after hearing an aviation reconnaissance information, Cialek received news of victory from Finland.
"It seems that it's really a critical moment." After listening to the report, Cialek was also more moved.
Germany's most advanced weapons were impossible to give to Finland. The German army did not have enough equipment for its own 75mm anti-tank guns and would not provide them to Finland at all.
I thought 50mm was enough, but who would know that the Soviets' kv-1 was actually pulled up.
"Yes, after the battle, the frontline personnel dismantled the Soviet tanks, and soon, this heavy tank would be transported to Krupp." Reinhardt said.
The tanks that were destroyed were useless and were just captured and brought back for research. After all, after completing the war against Britain, the next target was the Soviet Union!
"Yes, but we have technicians who have gone to Finland and studied it on the spot and found that their tank has a frontal protection of 130 mm."
Hearing this sound, Guderian on the side couldn't help but wonder: "Then our 50mm anti-tank gun, even if it uses tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs, has an armor-piercing ability of only 120mm."
"Yes," Speer said: "So, this shows one thing, the Soviet tank armored steel was of poor quality!"
German tanks use the hardest molybdenum alloy steel. At the same thickness, their ability to resist strikes is stronger than that of the Soviet tanks! At the same time, the German tank gun armor-piercing ability is also calculated based on its own armored steel.
Therefore, the test ability of one side is only 120 mm, but it can penetrate the opponent's 130 mm tank!
Sperer's words caused a burst of laughter from the people present. It's great! The quality of the Soviet tanks was too poor, and they couldn't even produce qualified steel!
"Everyone, the heavy tanks of the Soviets that appeared this time at least show one thing. The Soviets are catching up. We must continue to maintain the advantages of our armored forces!" The others were optimistic, but Guderian was cooling down on everyone.
Don’t underestimate the Soviets! The current Soviets have already started to build heavy tanks! Then, when our side attacks the Soviet Union in the future, they will not face the bunch of junk goods in Spain.
Soviet tanks have also developed towards heavier force. So what means should we use to continue to maintain our advantages? The new generation of tanks has already moved towards fifty tons, or even more than sixty tons. Should we continue to increase our weight?
That's not a good idea.
"From the future, we mainly improve technically." Cialek said: "By using more advanced technology, we can greatly improve our performance without increasing weight."
There were still many things in Cialis' mind, and he knew very well the tank equipment from later generations.
In the past, I didn’t take it out because I was afraid of being copied, but now, it’s time!
