Chapter 672: Technology Leadership

If a mine is pressed, if it is ignited by an incendiary bottle, these are acceptable to the Soviets, but they absolutely cannot accept that their own tank was actually penetrated by the opponent's anti-tank guns!

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

Several tank soldiers in the KV-1 tank had no chance to know the truth, and in the back, the company commander Grevich, who was urgently repairing the tracks, suddenly changed his face after hearing the news, impossible, absolutely impossible!

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

At this time, their own KV-1 tanks were rushing to the front, on their flanks, 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 defense, and at this time, the situation changed.

A tank, burning, looking like that, is burning violently because of the explosion of internal ammunition, how can this be?

Then, he saw clearly that the other tank, in the process of advancing at high speed, was hit by a shell fired by the opponent, and then it was blown up!

His hands, clenched into fists, how could it be?

"Quick, use the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets in the ammo box!" When Pattifo found out about this problem, he immediately shouted loudly, and the news soon spread throughout the entire position.

At this time, the other anti-tank gunners, who were working hard, found their own shells, which could not penetrate the opposing tanks, and were anxious, got the news and immediately came to their senses.

Can't blame them. The anti-tank guns were only recently delivered, and after they arrived, they immediately began strict training, but the usual training was all about how to operate the cannon, how to aim, how to load, and even some artillery groups did not fire live ammunition, even if they were shot, the largest group only fired two.

In this case, they didn't have a thorough grasp at all, and this kind of ammunition box, they didn't open it, the ammunition configuration inside, they didn't know, and the volunteers from Germany didn't know either, they thought it was just an ordinary steel armor-piercing projectile, originally, the firepower of this anti-tank gun was more than enough, where could they have thought that the Soviets actually used a big killing weapon!

Pattifo's gun crew fired the most shells, and they only used the tungsten alloy armor-piercing shell at the bottom, and the rest of the gun crew almost used up the steel armor-piercing shells on the upper level.

And now, when the news is known, the situation has immediately reversed!

Disassemble the ammunition box, take out the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet inside, reload it first, and kill this terrible heavy tank rushing over!

For the Soviets, the KV-1 tank was their magic weapon, and on the battlefield, the damage rate was too high for them to accept.

As now, after being killed four or five vehicles, they immediately gave up the attack, and Grevich ordered to stop the attack and not rush up again to die!

A corps, several divisions, and the first attack with great momentum failed, and they did not even rush through the support zone at the front of the defensive line!

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

At the same time, the news also reached Western Europe, to Paris.

At this time, the military campaign against the British was in full swing, and although Ciric had a number of capable and loyal subordinates, he was still full of daily affairs.

Now, for example, just after listening to an aerial reconnaissance intelligence, Shirek received news of the victory from Finland.

"It seems that it is really a short shot." After listening to the report, Ciric was also more emotional.

Germany's most advanced weapons are impossible to give to Finland, and the 75-mm anti-tank guns, which the Germans themselves do not have enough equipment, will not provide Finland at all.

I thought that 50 mm would be enough, but who knows, the KV-1 of the Soviets actually pulled up.

"Yes, after the battle, the front-line personnel dismantled the tanks of the Soviets, and soon, this heavy tank will be transported to Krupp." Reinhardt said.

Those martyred tanks, which are useless, happened to be captured and brought back for study, after all, after completing the war against Britain, the next target was the Soviet Union!

"Yes, but we already have technicians who went to Finland to study on the spot and found that their tanks have 130 mm of frontal protection."

Hearing this voice, Guderian on the side couldn't help but wonder: "Then our 50 mm anti-tank gun, even if it uses tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells, the armor-piercing ability is only 120 mm." ”

"Yes." Speer said: "So, this says one thing, the tank armor steel of the Soviets, the quality is too poor!" ”

The German tank uses the hardest molybdenum alloy steel, and under the same thickness, the resistance to blows is stronger than that of the Soviets! At the same time, the armor-piercing ability of German tank guns is also calculated according to its own armor steel.

Therefore, the ability tested by the own side is only 120 mm, but it can penetrate the opponent's 130 mm tank!

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

"Ladies and gentlemen, the heavy tanks of the Soviets that appeared this time show at least one thing, the Soviets are catching up, and we must continue to maintain the superiority of our armored forces!" Everyone else is optimistic, but Guderian is cooling everyone down.

Don't underestimate the Soviets! Now the Soviets have already begun to build heavy tanks! Then, when you attack the Soviet Union in the future, you will not be faced with the bunch of rags in Spain.

The Soviets' tanks have also developed to be heavier, so what means should they use to continue to maintain their superiority? The weight of the new generation of tanks is already moving towards fifty tons, and even more than sixty tons, should it continue to increase its weight?

That's not a good idea.

"In the future, we will mainly improve from technology." "By using more advanced technology, we can dramatically improve our performance without adding weight. ”

There are still many things in Ciric's mind, and he knows the tank equipment of later generations very well.

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