Eight hundred and seventieth chapters support the front line
Anti-tank mines are always effective against tanks, and are no exception in later generations.
It is not easy to dig a pit and bury mines when it is cold, but it is easy to bury it directly in the snow.
It’s even simpler and just throw it into the snow. The next night, you can’t see anything when the snow comes out the next day.
In front of the position, mines have been arranged long ago, but in severe cold weather, some mine fuses will also be frozen, making it impossible to trigger.
It is impossible for all weapons to be effective. At low temperatures, how to maintain the combat effectiveness of weapons is always the most important thing.
Rear, air force base.
"Quick, hurry, start the engine!" With the sudden attack on the front line, in the rear, the Air Force immediately entered a state of combat.
The defense line here belongs to the air defense area of the Volunteer Air Force. The young Bruce, wearing a cold flight suit, felt the cold wind like a knife slashing on his face, and stepped into the cockpit in a few steps.
Start the engine!
Cold weather makes starting the engine extremely difficult.
If it is a liquid-cooled engine, it will take longer to start. For example, the ground crew needs to boil water and pour it into the cooling waterway to increase the heat of the cylinder. This is preheating. This process takes at least ten minutes or even half an hour.
As for air-cooled engines, there is no need to be such a hassle. Just simply turn the crankshaft to allow the lubricant to flow. At the same time, this batch of engines has been replaced with the latest lubricant used in winter and will not solidify into paste at low temperatures.
The ground crew outside first uses a shaking handle to drive the engine's crankshaft and run it for a few turns to allow the lubricant to flow, and then it is officially activated.
This batch of engines also needs to be started from the outside by manpower. Two tall Finnish ground crew members shook the handle together, and the speed went from slow to fast. Then, streams of black smoke kept coming out of the exhaust pipe. Then, more and more, finally, the engine started!
After starting, Bruce did not take off immediately, keeping the plane's engine running at idle for a few minutes, and only releases the brakes after the various instruments in front of him were normal.
The mb152 fighter, which is not the most advanced legal fighter, skids onto the runway and takes off slowly, while behind it, all fighter jets take off.
Support the front line!
At this time, the battle on the front line was at its most intense time!
The t-34 tank kept pouring up like a tide.
"Boom!" Another T-34 was destroyed. After all, the number of anti-tank guns in the Finnish army's positions was the largest. In addition to the latest 17-pound guns, there were also the original anti-tank guns.
For example, when using a 50mm anti-tank gun, a special tungsten alloy warhead is required to attack KV-1, but when using T-34, it is enough to use an ordinary steel core armor-piercing bullet.
They were constantly firing, firing at the Soviet tanks rushing up, and at the same time, the Soviet tanks were also greeting them with more intense artillery fire.
"Boom!" A T-34 was shooting while advancing, and actually hit the mouse with a blind cat and accurately hit the anti-tank gun position. In the huge explosion, the position was lifted away, and several gunners, along with anti-tank guns, were lifted up.
Fighting, bloody and cruel.
"Quick, open fire!" Pattifer continued to shout loudly, and with his shouting, the 17-pound cannon roared again.
This is the 20th launch.
The cannon body has been continuously fired and heated. You can see that when the snowflakes fall on it, it is immediately vaporized. I don’t know if this cannon can still undergo continuous shooting.
And their results were all ahead. They maintained a very high hit rate, exceeding 50%, and had destroyed eleven tanks!
Moreover, they were very lucky. Until now, the nearest shells on the opposite side were several meters away. Except for a loading hand carrying the shells being scratched by shrapnel, the rest of the people were still intact, good, and intact.
"Boom!" Their artillery fired again, and the shells flew towards the target three hundred meters away on the opposite side. A heavy kv-1 tank was accurately hit!
Amid the huge explosion, the kv-1 tank burned wildly. Except for the driver in front of them, the rest were killed with the tank.
However, behind this kv-1 tank, at least four or five T-34 tanks rushed up with black smoke!
The Soviets' fighting will to sacrifice their lives has been suppressing the Finnish army on the defense line, and they have already felt something is wrong.
The Soviet army was using the tactics of the sea of tanks to advance. It can be said that the current Soviet tactics are quite effective.
As long as their tanks are not afraid of death and rush up all at once, as long as there are enough numbers, they can break through their own defense!
Now it seems that the situation is developing in a direction that is beneficial to the other side. Behind the Soviets, tanks are still dense, as if they are an army of ants, and there is no end.
The front was conquered and it was right in front of you.
At this time, the Soviet Union was also quite excited. Gorelenko, the commander of the Seventh Army, listened to the war reports coming from the front line.
"Our army is still 200 meters away from the enemy's defense line. Our army will make a concerted effort to rush through the Finnish defense line!"
"So far, casualties are still expected! About 100 tanks have been lost."
More than 100 vehicles! If it were the past, it would have hurt a lot, but now, they have made sufficient psychological preparations.
The meeting of the senior management made Gorelenko completely convinced. Tanks are used for consumption. As long as they can withstand consumption, they can win!
And this time, they were executing Comrade Stalin's orders to test this latest tactic in actual combat. From now on, the effect is good!
"Reported, it was discovered that Finland took off fighter jets." At this moment, new news came.
"Let our air force take off the fighter planes and fight the Finns!" said Gorelenko.
After receiving his order, the airport behind began to be busy and ready-made fighter jets took off one after another.
On the front line, the Finnish Air Force fighter jets have already flown over the battlefield.
Bruce's fighter plane flew in the front. When he reached his own defense line, he discovered how critical the situation on the ground was!
The Soviet tanks were everywhere, and the formation was very grand. This torrent of armor would definitely crush the defense line!
"Dive down and attack the Soviet tanks!" Bruce shouted in the radio, pushing the operating rod, and the fighter began to dive.
