Chapter 672： Leading technology

If it hits a landmine, if it is ignited by a combustion bottle, these are acceptable to the Soviets, but they absolutely cannot accept that their tank was penetrated by the opponent's anti-tank gun!

The 130 mm thick turret armor was actually penetrated by the opponent?

The several tank soldiers in the KV-1 tank had no chance to know the truth. Behind, the company commander Glevich, who was rushing to repair the track, suddenly changed his face after hearing the news. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. !

He put down the sledgehammer in his hand, stood on top of the turret, and used his binoculars to watch the battle on the distant battlefield.

At this time, our own KV-1 tanks were rushing forward, on both sides of them, followed by light tanks such as BT-1 and T-26, and behind them, followed by a large number of infantry.

At this time, the nearest tank was almost about to rush to the opponent's line of defense. At this moment, the situation changed.

A tank is burning. It looks like it was burning violently because of the internal ammunition exploding. How could this happen?

After that, he saw clearly that the other tank, while advancing at high speed, was hit by a shell from the opponent, and then it was blown out!

His hand was clenched into a fist, how could it be possible?

"Quickly, use the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets in the ammunition box!" When Patty Buddha discovered this problem, he immediately shouted loudly. The news quickly spread throughout the position.

At this time, the other anti-tank gunners were working hard. They found that their shells could not penetrate the other's tanks. They were anxious. Upon receiving the news, they immediately realized.

Can't blame them. The anti-tank guns were only brought over recently. After they arrived, they immediately launched rigorous training. However, the usual training is how to operate the cannon, how to aim, how to load, and even some gun groups have not fired. For live ammunition, even if it was shooting, only two were fired in the largest group.

Under this circumstance, they did not grasp it thoroughly, and they did not disassemble the ammunition box. They did not know the ammunition configuration inside, and the volunteers from Germany did not know. I thought it was just an ordinary steel armor-piercing projectile. Originally, the firepower of this kind of anti-tank gun was more than enough. How could I think that the Soviets actually used a big killer!

Pattyfo’s gun group fired the most shells, and they used the tungsten alloy armor-piercing shell in the bottom layer. The rest of the gun group almost used up the steel armor-piercing shells in the upper layer.

And now, after knowing this news, the situation immediately reversed!

Open the ammunition box, take out the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, load it first, and kill the terrible heavy tank that rushes over!

For the Soviets, the KV-1 tank is their magic weapon. On the battlefield, the high damage rate is unacceptable.

As they are now, after four or five vehicles were killed, they immediately gave up the attack. Glevich ordered to stop the attack and could no longer rush to die!

One army and several divisions were dispatched, and the first attack was fiercely. It just failed. They didn't even rush to the front of the defense zone!

This counterattack has dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Soviets, letting them know that Finland is definitely not a piece of meat, let them kill!

At the same time, the news also spread back to Western Europe and to Paris.

At this time, military operations against the United Kingdom were in full swing. Although Cyric had a group of capable and loyal subordinates, his daily affairs were still fully arranged.

For example, now, just after hearing a piece of air reconnaissance information, Cyric received news of victory from Finland.

"It seems that it's really close." After listening to the report, Cyric was also quite moved.

Germany’s most advanced weapons are impossible to give to Finland. The 75mm anti-tank guns are not equipped by the Germans themselves and will not be provided to Finland at all.

I thought that 50 mm would be enough. Who knew that the Soviet KV-1 was actually pulled up.

"Yes, after the battle, the frontline personnel dismantled the Soviet tanks. Soon, this heavy tank will be shipped to Krupp." Reinhardt said.

Those smashed tanks are no longer useful. They happened to be captured and brought back to study. After all, after completing the war against Britain, the next target is the Soviet Union!

"Yes, but we already have technicians who have gone to Finland to study 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 a tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile, its armor-piercing ability is only 120mm."

"Yes." Speer said: "So, this shows one thing, the Soviet tank armor steel, the quality is too bad!"

German tanks use the hardest molybdenum alloy steel. Under the same thickness, the anti-strike ability is stronger than that of the Soviet tanks! At the same time, the armor penetration capability of German tank guns is also calculated based on its own armor steel.

Therefore, our test ability is only 120mm, but it can penetrate the opponent's 130mm tank!

Speer's words caused a roar of laughter from the people present, yes! The quality of the Soviet tanks was so bad that they couldn't even produce qualified steel!

"Everyone The appearance of the Soviet heavy tanks this time shows at least one thing. The Soviets are catching up. We must continue to maintain the superiority of our armored forces!" Others They are all optimistic, but Guderian is cooling everyone down.

Don't underestimate the Soviets! The Soviets now have begun to build heavy tanks! Then, when our side attacks the Soviet Union in the future, it is not the pile of junk in Spain.

The Soviet tanks have also developed to be heavy, so what means should they use to maintain their advantage? The new generation of tanks has already moved toward 50 tons in weight, and will even exceed 60 tons. Is it necessary to continue to increase its weight?

That's not a good way.

"In the future, we will mainly improve technology." Cyric said: "By using more advanced technology, we will greatly improve our performance without increasing weight."

In Cyric's mind, there are still too many things. He is very clear about the tank equipment of later generations.

In the past, I didn't take it out because I was afraid of being copied, but now, it's time!
