Speaking of 88mm anti-aircraft guns attacking tanks, many people will take Rommel's example, saying that on the battlefield in North Africa, Rommel was about to break the defense line by the opponent, Rommel had a sudden inspiration and ordered his subordinates to lay the 88 anti-aircraft guns flat, and successfully destroyed the British tanks, which turned the crisis into safety.

Some people even took out Rommel's autobiography and said that this method was definitely invented by Rommel.

However, this is not the case in reality. Most anti-aircraft guns allow low-angle shooting when designed, which is very simple.

What is important is the shells! When shooting aircraft, anti-aircraft guns definitely do not require armor-piercing shells, and high-explosive shells are suitable, especially near-explosive fuzes, which is a major improvement in anti-aircraft guns.

If there is no anti-aircraft gun, it will use armor-piercing shells. The aircraft is not a flying tank, either wooden or aluminum. Where can I find armor-piercing shells?

When designing the 88mm anti-aircraft gun in Germany, the largest solution was to develop armor-piercing bombs specifically for anti-tanks, and required each gun to carry a certain number for emergency response. This regulation has made a big use.

Moreover, the scope should take into account the anti-tank needs. The scale parameters of the air scope and the ground scope are different. The 88 gun has a binocular, which contains different scales to meet different needs. This is a requirement put forward by the German Army when purchasing.

So, pulling out the 88mm anti-aircraft gun as an anti-tank gun is not someone's pioneering move.

However, it is not a special anti-tank gun after all! Its biggest disadvantage is its height and weight, which makes its survival in combat rely more on its firepower and range rather than good concealment.

If it is a 50mm anti-tank gun, you can run back when you push it, but an 88mm anti-tank gun is not easy!

When this 88mm anti-aircraft gun was just developed, it was used to tow an ordinary truck. Each time it was unfolded, it was quite complicated and had almost no ability to unfold quickly.

Later, under the instructions of Cialek, this anti-aircraft gun was improved, and a new 202 special trailer was developed specifically for this anti-aircraft gun.

In the past, anti-aircraft guns were all axle, and were pulled by a truck in front and ran with a bang.

This kind of trailer has a parallel dual-wheel structure with good off-road performance. The gun will not bump. When traction, the muzzle faces the rear and is equipped with tire brakes and wheel gear fixing devices.

In normal times, you need to support the tires and fix the trailer properly before you can fire. Otherwise, if you fire a shot, the tires will run and the shooting elements will have to be adjusted.

However, this kind of trailer has been carefully designed and can be fired at low angles on the gun truck, and the emergency anti-tank capability has been greatly enhanced.

The gun mount has also been modified, making the operation of the up and down gun vans more convenient, and the entry and withdrawal of positions are faster, and the survival rate of the gun has been greatly improved.

Now, when I realized that the next round of artillery fire coverage might come, the artillery squad here immediately prepared quickly.

There are 12 members in a total of one artillery squad, and now they are all preparing quickly.

Two soldiers in charge of driving the tractor, one commanded the tractor and the other slowly entered the cannon position upside down.

At the same time, the others were resetting the cannon. In a short time, they put up the wheels, fixed the cannon body, and then connected the tractor and the traction hook behind the cannon body.

Get in the car!

They jumped on this Ford ten-ton off-road truck, and then, with the rumbling sound of the engine, the anti-aircraft gun was pulled toward the rear.

This is a line of defense that Finland has built over several years, with various fortifications and bunkers emerging one after another, but there is no suitable bunker for 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

After all, this kind of weapon is not in their plan.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to make such a fuss and put the cannons directly into the bunker, and they were not afraid of anything. Now, they could only retreat quickly through the road!

The range of the opponent's artillery fire will not be too far, and it will not exceed five kilometers at most, otherwise the continuous fire density will not be enough. Now, 88mm anti-aircraft artillery trailers are moving quickly towards the rear of the position.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the Soviet artillery fire coverage began again! Countless shells landed on the main defense zone.

There were trembling everywhere, and countless pieces flew everywhere, but the fortifications here were built strong enough that such shelling could be completely defended!

Sitting behind the truck, Pattifo looked at the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance, and felt in his heart that he had just had an idea. Otherwise, it would be a bad feeling to be exposed to the outside and wait for the shells! If this kind of anti-aircraft gun is blown up again, it would be even more troublesome!

The artillery fire covered it for almost half an hour. Just after the opponent's guns stopped, the artillery squad started again!

"Quick, hurry!" the squad leader shouted.

When I came here just now, the positions here were intact and the roads were flat. However, after a shelling, there were potholes everywhere!

The full-axis driven off-road truck was moving on the road, surrounding the crater, and it was quite slow, which made the squad leader anxious.

Finally, the anti-aircraft gun arrived in front of the gun position just now, and the entire gun position was deformed, and the sandbag used for defense was tilted.

"Quick, hurry!" The driver reversed the car and just stopped the anti-aircraft artillery trailer to the gun position. Before he could unload the trailer, the squad leader could not wait.

In the distance, the Soviet tanks rushed up again, and they were still the kind of terrible heavy tanks, rushing in the front!

They want to copy the last successful experience, cover the fire, and then hit quickly!

This time, it's impossible!

Although it is not as fast as a self-propelled cannon, the advantage of this kind of trailer is that you can fire on the cannon truck when needed!

Before they could fold the tire and lock it up directly, the artillery soldiers began to shake the barrel.

The communication troop operates the rangefinder and quickly performs the distance measurement: "One thousand meters, fast, fast!"

The opponent's tank was also fierce this time and rushed towards this side at high speed!

"Crash, bang!" The armor-piercing projectile was loaded into the cannon body, and Pattifo quickly aimed directly at the sight, and then pulled the cannon rope!

"boom!"

After all, it is on the cannon cart, so it is better to be stable when it is mounted directly. When the fire is opened, you can clearly feel that the cannon body is shaking.

"Hit the target!" the soldier responsible for observing the bullet point shouted loudly.

This kind of anti-aircraft gun has very high accuracy!

The battle between blood and fire begins again!

The battle on the front was in a state of anxiety, and at the same time, the battle reports were also spreading to the rear. The great leader Stalin was quite dissatisfied with the performance of the front!
Chapter completed!
