Chapter 707 Chrome Molybdenum Steel Armor
The Mannerheim Line.
When the Soviets left the wreckage of the KV-1 tank and retreated, the defense line fell into a temporary calm in the past few days, and the large-scale attack did not continue to come. However, everyone knows that the Soviets must be It is only a temporary adjustment. With the end of the Soviet adjustment, a major war will definitely break out again.
After the last battle, the Finnish army has gradually adapted to the Soviet Union, which looks aggressive and powerful, but in fact, the tactics of the Soviets have not improved much, they are still stuck in the old generation of operations, and their Tanks are not so powerful, their anti-tank guns can destroy the other side!
Pattypho sat next to his anti-tank gun, and wrapped his cigarette as if nothing had happened. Due to the logistics supply mainly transporting ammunition, this kind of living materials could not be transported. Fortunately, Pattyvor brought some tobacco leaves himself, and really didn't smoke it. From time to time, he would roll the tobacco leaves in paper, and the taste was not bad.
The sun hangs obliquely in the sky. This is a high latitude area, and the sun will never be overhead. At the same time, as time goes by, it has begun to get cooler, especially at night, you must sleep with a cover Warm with a thick quilt.
After rolling it up and lighting it, Patty took a deep breath. When the smell of the cigarette entered his lungs, this feeling was like a sky in the sky.
Although in the doctor's point of view, smoking is harmful to health, but on the battlefield, you will die at any time, and you will die in the next moment. Who else cares about this damn smoking is harmful to health.
It's good to be alive!
It was only when he was smoking that Patty Buddha had a moment of tranquility, and his mind was entangled by something.
Research from the rear shows that the last time we were able to kill the Soviet tanks was a fluke, and we were just on the verge of being able to destroy the opponent, and these days, the Soviets have not launched an attack, it must be improving their tanks, wait until The next time we attack, maybe we won't be able to penetrate it!
How to do?
The instructions given above are also very simple. As a lightweight anti-tank gun, they can push this anti-tank gun and go around to the side of the Soviets.
If our side is a self-propelled anti-tank gun, then there are still others who say that the problem is that now our side is towed, so what are the infantry behind the Soviets doing?
Just when he took the last puff of the cigarette, Pattyvor suddenly heard the peculiar whistle of the cannonball rubbing against the air in the distance. bunker!"
"Boom, boom!" On the opposite side, another Soviet attack has begun!
Compared to the last time, the Soviets were quite prepared this time!
Artillery of various calibers, fire towards this side together! The Soviet Union has always been artillery. Last time, it was just that the firepower was not transported, so it just launched an attack in a hurry, but this time, they used thousands of artillery!
The entire position was full of explosions, and soon, it was mottled and shattered. The ground was shaking, and the people hiding in the bunkers were also shaking.
The Soviets are really powerful! This artillery fire has been covered for more than ten minutes. The entire position seems to be plowed, but there is still no sign of stopping!
"Wait! Covered by artillery fire, it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes." Lighting the cigarette again, Pattypho said calmly. At this time, the battle was about to start, but he was calm. As a soldier, he died in battle. It is their glory!
"Boom!" A large-caliber cannonball landed around their bunker. In an instant, the soil fell from the roof of the bunker and landed on Patty Buddha. He patted the soil and continued to smoke.
After another ten minutes, finally, the artillery fire covered and stopped.
"The Soviets are coming!" the observation post left outside shouted loudly. When they heard this sound, everyone filed out from their bunker.
When he ran to his own position, in an instant, Pattyvor was dumbfounded. The 50mm anti-tank gun on his side had already been twisted, and a large-caliber grenade had hit the gun body!
No need to fight, in this case, the anti-tank gun is broken! Looking at the gunners behind him carrying the ammunition boxes, Petiver was in a bad mood.
The Soviets' artillery coverage this time is obviously prepared, and one of the important reasons is to destroy the positions of these anti-tank guns!
The offensive formation this time is the same as last time, with the KV-1 tank as the leader, but this KV-1 tank is different from the one that came last time.
When he learned that the anti-tank guns on the opposite side could destroy his own tanks, Ketin in the rear urgently revised the manufacturing process of the tanks.
In the past, the armor used by the KV-1 tank was only ordinary armored steel. It was found that it could be destroyed by the opponent's anti-tank guns. The shock of the Soviet high-level can be imagined.
At this time, you can't hide it, and you don't have to compromise with the cost! The Leningrad Locomotive Factory urgently produced a batch of KV-1 tanks using chrome-molybdenum steel.
Chromium is a precious metal. It is quite wasteful to use this metal to make armor steel, but the Soviets can afford it. After all, the largest chromium mine in the world is in what is now Kazakhstan.
It is precisely to wait for these emergency production tanks, and also to wait for more artillery, that they waited impatiently for a few days. You know, according to Stalin's opinion, that is a week to advance to the Finnish capital, let the whole country. The world looks at the style of the Soviet Red Army.
And now, with the newly built KV-1 tank in place, another attack has kicked off.
The 6th Soviet Heavy Tank Brigade, commander Sergey, sat in the tank, still smelling fresh, looking at the Finnish line ahead.
Last time, one's own tank was penetrated, which led to the final defeat of the tank unit, but this time, their tank, after being improved, can block the blow of the opponent's anti-tank gun?
They cannot retreat. The tank soldiers who retreated last time have all been captured. As the vanguard of the entire army, they can only attack, attack!
The artillery fire coverage was very successful. Looking at it now, the opposite side seems to have been completely defeated.
At the same time, with the coverage of artillery fire, the minefields laid by the other side were also detonated, so there is no need to worry about the threat of mines.
In the field of vision, the Finns' line of defense gradually became clear, and then Sergey excitedly saw some tanks emerging from the opposite line of defense.
"Kill the opponent's tank!" Sergey shouted loudly.
