Chapter 875 Air Strike

The MB152 fighter jet is a fighter jet, not an attack aircraft. For Finland, despite the addition of the Volunteer Air Force, the air power is still stretched thin.

Therefore, the Finnish Air Force needs to be a versatile player. In addition to being used for air combat, it can also attack the ground. In this regard, the MB152 fighter has an inherent advantage.

This fighter has two weapons, two 20mm Spanish-Swiss HS404 cannons on the wings, each with 60 rounds of ammunition, and two 7.5mm MAC1934 aviation machine guns, each with 500 rounds of ammunition send.

This cannon is an automatic continuous-fire gun produced by Hispano-Suzza Company. Its derivative models were widely used as aircraft guns and land-based weapons in Britain, France and the United States during World War II.

Compared with other light weapons, the HS.404, which fires a 20mm projectile, is more lethal. This made it an ideal anti-aircraft weapon to mount on light vehicles, and was used to replace the 7.62mm and 7.7mm machine guns that were heavily installed on 1930s fighter aircraft.

The French HS.404 was produced by the French branch of Hispano and became a famous machine gun series. After all, the 20mm machine gun is far more lethal than ordinary machine guns.

However, when shooting in the air, its main type of ammunition is high-explosive ammunition, which uses explosions and fragments to kill. This type of ammunition does not have much effect on tanks on the ground.

However, in addition to high-explosive shells, it also has a new type of shell, the 168-gram armor-piercing tracer!

Now, the 60-round drum of the MB152 fighter jet is stuffed with this kind of armor-piercing bullets. After all, their goal this time is to hit the ground!

When the fighter plane turned into a dive, it issued a unique Doppler whistle. In Bruce's field of vision, the T-34 tank became more and more clear.

At this time, the Soviet tank troops had discovered them, but they had no effective weapons to protect them at this time.

Hans Rudel in history destroyed more than 500 Soviet tanks. But he himself was shot down a dozen times.

Later, he summed up his experience: the Soviet T-34 tanks were the easiest to attack, because those tanks were not equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense, while the M-4 "Sherman" series tanks that the United States aided the Soviet Union were equipped with a A 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, which he himself was shot down several times during a dive attack.

At this time, the diving fighter is absolutely safe, and there is no threat other than accidentally hitting the ground!

The altitude is getting lower and lower. After all, this fighter is not a professional attack aircraft. There is no angle of attack display, nor any alarm equipment. Everything depends entirely on its own experience.

At this time, the T-34 tank on the ground was still advancing at full speed. Bruce set the advance appropriately, and pressed the shooting button at a distance of about 500 meters from the ground.

"Tom tom tom!" The 20mm cannons on both sides roared frantically, and the entire fighter jet was shaking.

Just pressing it, he quickly released it, even so, there were four or five shells, and it flew out!

The tracer armor-piercing projectile drew a shiny trajectory in the air, hitting the Soviet tanks on the ground.

For any tank, the top is always the weakest. The top of the T-34 tank is the level of 18 to 22 mm homogeneous armor, and this armor, the 14.5 mm anti-tank gun held by an ordinary soldier, Can penetrate it, not to mention the current 20mm cannon!

There were almost several shells, and they roared into the turret. Then, a huge explosion sounded from the turret.

"boom!"

The internal ammunition exploded, the airflow leaked from the seat ring of the turret, and the entire small turret flew directly into the sky.

"Long live!" Seeing their own fighter jets showing their might, the Finnish soldiers in the position here immediately cheered.

Seeing that their positions are about to be conquered by the Soviets, it's time for their own air force to fly!

This is just the beginning!

One after another, MB152 fighter jets swooped down from the air and used the 20mm cannons on both sides to attack the tanks. Their attacks were quite effective. The attack of the Soviet tank troops suddenly slowed down.

"What are you looking at, hurry up!" Petiver shouted loudly.

Their own planes came to help the battle, which made everyone excited, but the anti-tankmen, at this time, must not relax! Petiver yelled loudly at his gunners.

The gunner will become deaf in the future, because the sound of the artillery is too powerful. Now, after more than 20 cannons have been fired in a row, everyone's ears are buzzing, and they can't hear anything.

Therefore, those who watch the artillery are commanded by flags, not by shouts. That is the reason.

"Come on!" Pettyfer couldn't hear himself, so he raised his leg and kicked the loader's ass with his leather boot.

Only then did the loader stop staring into the distance, and hurriedly reloaded.

"Bang!"

Another armor-piercing projectile was stuffed into the barrel, and then, with a bang, the projectile flew to another KV-1 tank in the distance.

At a long distance, the 17-pound gun eliminated several T-34 tanks, and after getting close, the 17-pound gun was mainly used to deal with the KV-1 tank. After all, this big guy is its target, and the rest of the anti-tank Cannon, used to greet the T-34 coming in like a tide.

Just now, the Soviet tanks were imposing, but now, under the air strikes, their offensive finally loosened up. It was just so violent!

This time, the Soviets are going to fail. They have lost hundreds of tanks and still haven't conquered their own positions!

In the rumbling sound of the cannon, Pattyvor finally saw hope, but then, he saw a larger group of aircraft flying in the sky in the distance.

Soviet fighter jets!

"Tom tom tom!" After killing a T-34 tank again, Bruce pulled his plane up, and before he had time to find the next target, he heard a call on the radio: "Soviet planes, a large number of Soviet planes, are heading towards Let's fly!"

The Soviet air force was not slow in dispatching, they had already flown over the front, and their arrival saved the tank troops on the ground and relieved the threat of Finnish fighter jets in the sky.

"Give up the ground attack and prepare to fight!" Bruce shouted loudly. At this time, the 60 rounds of 20mm shells on both sides were almost consumed, but he still had two machine guns!

Machine guns that use drums to feed ammunition have always faced the problem of insufficient ammunition. Only by using ammunition chains to supply ammunition can this problem be solved.
