Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 348 Soviet-Finnish War (15)

The BF-109F pilots used this "rogue" tactic to deal with Soviet fighter jets. The Soviet pilots were so angry that they stamped their feet, their blood pressure soared, and cursed their opponents as despicable cowards who dared not fight head-on.

However, the performance of your own aircraft is not as good as others. No matter how much you blow your beard and stare, there is nothing you can do. You can only die with hatred one after another.

In this way, the Soviet escort fighter group was completely consumed along the way, leaving only a formation of more than 200 bombers.

When the bomber group was about to arrive in Helsinki, they were intercepted by another batch of BF-109Fs. These fighters were also equipped with cannon pods. Although the extra gun pod will affect the fighter's maneuverability, even if it affects it, it is much more flexible than the bulky bomber.

One after another, BF-109F dexterously shuttled among the bombers' defensive machine gun fire, shooting them down one after another with large-caliber cannons.

On the other side, the Soviet Seventh Army across the Mannoheim Line of Defense also launched its offensive again. Looking at the tanks rushing over, the Finnish soldiers could not help but be stunned. "Oh my God, what kind of tank is that?" He knew most of these tanks, T-26 and BT-5. However, among these tanks, there are also some unknown tanks mixed in. They look taller and have thicker barrels. Judging from the way the tracks move forward, they are also heavy.

In the observation post of the Mannoheim Line of Defense, a German was introducing the Soviet tanks rushing over to the surrounding Finnish officers. "That's the Soviets' latest KV-1 heavy tank. Our 50mm anti-tank gun can't penetrate their armor. It's time to use a 'secret weapon.'"

The secret weapon he was talking about was the "88mm Raketenwerfer 43 recoilless gun."

The anti-tank gunners on the Finnish defense line were staring nervously at the Soviet heavy tank that was slowly approaching in the distance (it could only be slowly, the KV1's maximum off-road speed was 12km/h). It looked like it must be at least four or five in size. It weighs ten tons, and I can't help but worry about whether my tank gun can penetrate the opponent's armor.

At this moment, a correspondent hurried over and conveyed an order. "The regiment leader said we should wait 300 meters before attacking. You don't need to worry about the heavy tanks. Someone will take care of them." After leaving these words, he continued to run to the next anti-tank position.

Several anti-tank gunners looked at each other. "Is there a new anti-tank gun?"

The monitor said disapprovingly. "What the hell, as long as it destroys these damn furry bear tanks. Load up and get ready to fire!"

The power of armor-piercing bullets is related to distance. The closer the distance, the higher the storage speed, and the deeper the armor penetration. In other words, their Pak38 50mm anti-tank can penetrate the KV1 armor at a close enough distance. But after all, the opponent is a group of tanks, so they cannot be too close. Otherwise, they can only fire one shell at most and be crushed by the opponent's tanks.

"T-26 directly ahead, 450 meters... 400 meters... 350 meters... 300 meters, fire!" Following the squad leader's order, the gunner pulled the gun rope hard. As a flame shot out from the muzzle, a T-26 on the opposite side instantly exploded into a ball of scrap metal.

But they saw the heavy tank next to the T-26 stopped, and at least the 70mm muzzle was slowly aimed at this side.

"Damn it! Get out of here!!" The squad leader just yelled, but before he could turn around, there was a loud noise not far from them, and then the heavy tank exploded violently.

Several gunners looked at the direction of the loud noise at the same time, and saw a large cloud of white smoke rising. The diameter of the smoke seemed to be at least ten meters. "What is that? Such a big movement?!"

The basic principle of a recoilless rifle is to balance the recoil force with the momentum of high-temperature, high-speed gases ejected from the rear of the projectile. Therefore, the gun will make a very loud noise when fired, which will seriously damage the gunner's hearing. Therefore, according to German battlefield regulations, the gunner must wear earplugs or cover his ears as much as possible when the gun is fired.

Another shortcoming is that the breech spray is too long. According to actual combat, the German airborne troops stipulated that when the gun is fired, the 50-100 meters behind it is a dangerous area, and neither ammunition nor gunners are allowed in this area, which places great restrictions on its use.

This time, Commander Gorelenko of the Soviet Seventh Army deployed a battalion of 24 KV-1 heavy tanks. This was also the first time KV-1 appeared on the battlefield. Under the stimulation of the war, and with various technical problems still unresolved, the KV-1 tank could not wait to be mass-produced, and was first equipped with a heavy tank battalion. This tank battalion was transferred to the Leningrad Military District and participated in the Soviet-Finnish War.

As the commander of the KV-1 tank battalion, Lomonosov was extremely excited. After all, in his opinion, the KV-1 is the most powerful tank in the world, bar none. Even the German Jackal tank will not be its opponent.

The diesel engine at the rear was rumbling. His heavy tanks were scattered in the team. Next to a heavy tank, there were five or six light tanks, and behind them were the infantry.

The Finnish defense line was right in front of him, and Lomonosov had already imagined the scene of his tanks breaking through the Finnish defense line and crushing the overwhelming number of soldiers.

"Boom!" At this moment, a T-26 tank in front suddenly exploded.

Almost at the same time, Lomonosov also discovered the exposed anti-tank position on the opposite position. Although these anti-tank guns are well concealed, once fired, their hiding places will be exposed. Now, with one shot from our side, we will take out the opponent's anti-tank gun position! "Stop! Eleven o'clock direction, 300 meters, an anti-tank gun, fire!"

As soon as the tank gunner aimed the muzzle at the anti-tank gun position, there was a huge impact and explosion from their frontal armor, and then Lomonosov felt a splash of something as hot as hell magma. After cumming on him, he couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.

The 88mm hollow-charge armor-piercing projectile hit the front armor of the KV1 hard. The metal jet produced by the explosion of the cone-shaped charge inside the armor-breaking projectile blew towards the solid armor steel plate at twenty-five times the speed of sound. The high temperature and high speed caused the armor at the impact point to flow around like ice blown by hot air, and a small hole was easily blown out in an instant. The metal jet, which had not yet exhausted its power, along with the metal droplets brought out by it, swept across the inside of the tank like hot bullets and hit the shells behind it.

"Boom!" The 76mm artillery shell emitted a violent explosion. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas instantly stirred up a piece of flesh and blood in the entire turret. There was no longer a complete human body inside, and everything turned into burnt It's like mincemeat.

The high-pressure gas penetrated into the seat ring of the turret, which was not tightly sealed, and then the gas began to vent.

If you look from the outside, you can see that with a loud noise, hot flames and black smoke came out of the turret's seat ring outwards. With the explosion, the turret was lifted half a meter high, and then fell heavily.

There can't be another living person inside!

"!!" The attacking Soviet army seemed to be silent for a moment, looking at the destroyed KV-1 tank in disbelief. Before he could recover from the shock, loud noises were heard one after another, and the KV-1 tanks exploded one after another.

In less than a minute, a battalion of 24 KV-1 tanks was wiped out!
