Chapter 872 T-34 Tank Sea
The 17-pounder gun is placed on the gun frame, and there are two tires on both sides of the gun frame. After all, the entire gun body adds up to a total weight of up to 3 tons.
Now the tires are frozen!
Hearing this voice, Pattypho shouted loudly: "Then why don't you bake it!"
Fire up! In Finland, the volunteers gradually learned to cook the fire with the Finns. The weather is freezing cold. The car is here. As long as it stays here for one day, the tires will freeze with the ground. The next day, if you want to restart, you can only fire.
In addition to the tires, the engine also freezes, so if you want to continue working in cold weather, you must be able to cook.
If it is a gasoline engine, you should always beware of burning the car. German trucks and armored vehicles are all diesel, which makes burning the fire easier and more effective.
For example, now, after hearing Patty Buddha's order, a soldier hurriedly took out a tattered cloth from the side, wrapped it on a wooden stick, and then put it in a dirty oil drum and dipped it a few times. Inside, there is waste diesel.
The lighter was lit, and after the small flame came into contact with the strip of cloth, the torch wrapped around the strip of cloth was lit and smoked.
With this torch, the soldier slowly approached the tire, roasting back and forth where the tire made contact with the ground.
This is also important. If you stay still, the tires will be baked. After all, this thing is a rubber product, and it must be baked repeatedly and back and forth.
The snow below has been peeled off in advance, revealing the permafrost below, and the tires have been stuck to the ground.
The heavy snow was falling one after another, the torches kept moving, and the tires were slowly recovering and recovering. Then, the tires finally loosened!
The sides were baked almost at the same time, and soon enough, the tires were off the ground and thawed!
"Quick, push to the front!"
There are many preset positions in front, but the anti-tank guns were not deployed immediately, that is to prevent the specific deployment from being detected by the Soviet scouts, and will only be deployed before the war.
An artillery squad, with more than a dozen people, carried the legs of the artillery and pushed the tires, rolling out ruts in the snow and heading for the position.
At the same time, on the opposite side, the Soviet tank soldiers were also preparing for the final offensive.
Last time, they failed to break the position of the opposite Finnish army, which made Moscow feel shameless, and this time, they have to achieve their goal no matter what!
Compared with the last time, they dispatched more troops this time. Now, there are rumblings everywhere in the entire position. They have been waiting for several months. Now, their formation is finally complete!
This is the preparation of a mechanized army!
A mechanized corps consists of 2 tank divisions, 1 motorized division, a motorcycle regiment, an independent communications battalion, an independent engineering battalion, and an aviation brigade.
Among them, a tank division has 2 tank regiments, 1 motorized infantry regiment, 1 artillery regiment and some service support units. There are 375 tanks, including 63 KV heavy tanks, 210 T-34 medium tanks, and 102 T-26 and BT tanks.
This batch of equipment made them wait for several months, just for this day, they broke the defense line of the other party and rushed to the capital of Finland, just like the Germans!
Now, the Soviet Union is still competing with Germany. The Germans have occupied half of Europe, and the Soviet Union is still struggling to fight a Finland. This is of course inappropriate.
In addition to this mechanized army, other infantry divisions were combined to form the 7th Soviet Army. Their mission was to occupy the whole of Finland!
Hundreds of tanks started rumbled like this, and at this time, they hadn't set off immediately.
The main tanks also use diesel engines. Now, the diesel engine has just started, and the car must be warmed up. It will take a while for all kinds of lubricating oils to be properly lubricated and the water temperature of the engine to rise.
This is the last time before the war.
Beside his tank, Andre quietly lit a cigarette, watching the black smoke coming out of the engine, gradually fading.
This tank of his is the latest T-34. It has only been less than half a month since it came out of the factory and arrived in his hands.
These days, they are just familiar with the operation of this kind of tank, and they are far from being handy. Compared with the models they used to operate, the engines are full of horsepower, and the tank guns are even more powerful, but the accuracy is not very good!
Fortunately, the opponents do not have tanks. The main type of ammunition they are equipped with is grenades. Now, every tank is fully loaded with ammunition and fuel and is ready to attack.
"Crack, snap, snap!" Three red flares rose from the back, and when he saw these three flares, Andre quickly jumped onto his tank.
"Let's go!" Andre looked at the front, the company commander Victor was standing on the tank, waving a small flag.
Yes, they still lack tank radios, and the radios inside the tanks are empty. Therefore, the main command of the tank troops is still carried out by flags, which means that the command of the tanks must take risks and expose the body Row.
There is no way to do this. Fortunately, the heroic armored soldiers will not be hindered by this difficulty. Not to mention tanks, even fighter jets, some cannot be equipped with radio stations.
Set off! The driver stepped on the accelerator hard, and in the black smoke, the T-34 tank started! This historically-proclaimed tank started its first battle.
Explode the sea of tanks! The Soviet Union has some population and some steel, using a large number of tanks, swarming up, either rushing over or falling on the road of the charge, and will never retreat!
The great tank designer Koshkin is no more, and he cannot see the tanks he designed galloping on the battlefield.
One, two, three, hundreds of tanks, charge together!
The KV-1 heavy tank was still the one that started in the front. Due to the unfavorable battle last time, this tank has also undergone a simple transformation and thickened its armor, which made its action even more sluggish. So much so that the T-34 tanks at the back couldn't bear the speed of the turtle's crawling, and they passed the KV-1 tanks one after another, like a tide, heading towards the opposite Finnish army position.
Opposite, there are exclamations everywhere.
"My God, so many tanks!"
"The Soviets, did they send all the tanks?"
"I haven't seen it before, what kind of tank is that?"
The Soviet Union was very camouflaged for this tank force, so until the war, the Finnish army did not notice that the Soviets actually used such a huge army!
Hundreds of tanks charged together, the formation was grand, and the whole ground was constantly shaking, making people feel like the end was coming.
