The tb-3 bomber has only three self-defense machine guns, which is far from enough. However, after the bomber formation, it can form a defense network with the help of friendly aircraft to protect itself.

However, this kind of defense network is not airtight. The best way to protect bombers is to escort fighters forever!

Sitting in the turret and looking at the Finnish fighters flying outside the glass frame, Ivanov was very nervous. He was a recruit only last year. Because he passed various rotation tests, he became a machine gunner.

He looked at the flying two plane formation, expanding his vision, his palms began to sweat, and the battle was about to begin!

But then, he only saw the other party continue to climb, brush from his front and top of his head, and fly to the back.

Even if you don't fly a plane and just play an air combat game, you should know that the contact time between the two sides is very short when flying head-on. It's difficult to get results if you launch an attack in a hurry at this time.

So Bruce pulled the nose and flew over the other side. Then he pulled the lever hard to push the rudder.

The sky was spinning, the blood was surging, and the huge overload made his eyes red. He looked at his dashboard with the rest of his eyes. Just now, he made a big overload turn.

When his eyes became clear again, he had seen the huge bomber group under himself. At this time, he was already behind the other party!

How to attack bomber formation? Of course, fly to the top of each other's back, and then dive down from the back!

That's what Bruce did.

He pushed his joystick and took his wingman down from the sky!

In the field of vision, the outline of the DB-3 bomber became clearer and clearer. The twin engine structure and the rear turret were seen so clearly. Then, a flame erupted from the other side's rear turret.

7.62mm machine gun, fire violently!

Ivanov just saw the other party flying over his head, he kept looking up his neck. Sure enough, he found that the other party had drawn a beautiful arc and attacked in turn!

He put the other party in his sight and fired. Unfortunately, his bullet couldn't hit the other party at all!

There are many things to pay attention to when shooting in the air. A simple mechanical sight should take into account many other factors, such as wind speed, gravity, etc. even in later generations, before the machine gun hotline appeared, machine gun shooting in the air was a technical job.

It looks powerful. In fact, the bullet is far from Bruce.

Bruce continued to dive faster and faster. He pressed the shooting button almost 500 meters away.

"Bang, bang!" 20 mm machine guns, two guns fired at the same time. In an instant, the engine on the left wing of the other party emitted billowing black smoke, and the fire soon spread!

The performance of legal fighters is not very good, but almost used pilots will praise the above guns.

Quickly pulling the nose, Bruce's plane turned from dive to climb. The wingman behind him saw the other side. There was no need to replenish the gun.

The DB-3 bomber rolled and fell down. This is just the beginning!

Ferocious volunteer pilots, flying legal fighters, are like a group of hungry wolves besieging cattle. Catch one and bite it!

The battle in the air began fiercely.

"Look, another Soviet bomber has fallen!" At this time, on the ground, behind the Mannerheim line, a gunner looked at the sky and said.

Beside him, there is a 50mm anti tank gun, which is the latest anti tank gun supported. The outline is very low. The gun bunker built here is more than 0.6m, and the gun body will almost stick to the ground. The whole gun position is difficult to be found.

However, this kind of gun has no mark, no factory address, month and year, and no label. Only those who are most familiar with it know that this kind of anti tank gun has actually been equipped in the German army.

Pak38, 50 mm anti tank gun, is a product of Krupp company, which is used to replace the 37 mm anti tank gun used in the Spanish Civil War.

However, in war, the performance of weapons changes very quickly. In the Spanish Civil War, 37 mm was enough, but after that, 50 mm tank guns were needed.

At present, the 50 mm anti tank gun can no longer guarantee to deal with the future armor threat. Therefore, the 50 mm anti tank gun was a flash in the pan in German weapons and equipment, and gave way to the 75 mm anti tank gun, which was eliminated and supported Finland.

It's no problem to deal with the threat of Soviet tanks!

At the same time, the defense line here is also the area where the most fierce fighting is expected to break out. Here is the Karelia isthmus!

The width of the whole isthmus is about 100 kilometers. On the Soviet side is a desolate desert, which is most conducive to the attack of tank forces.

At the same time, the traffic conditions in Finland are relatively good. There are four railways and ten highways leading to the northwest of Finland. Therefore, if the Soviets quickly conquer here, they can quickly break into the main areas of Finland.

This is an important traffic route from the Soviet Union to the interior of Finland, and its strategic position is very important. The Mannerheim line is constructed here.

Historically, the Finns thought that the impregnable defense line did not last long, but now, the whole defense line has taken on a new look.

They have hundreds of anti tank guns on the whole front. At the same time, behind the front, there are some tanks for counter attack, including even heavy tanks from France!

Finland has been mobilized all over the country and its troops are still insufficient. Therefore, in addition to Finnish soldiers, there are some new faces guarding the defense line.

It is said that volunteers from friendly countries speak in a variety of languages, which also brings trouble to their operations.

For example, the gunner of this gun speaks English with a Polish accent and has a simple communication.

"Cheer up, the Soviets' planes are coming, and their tanks will come up soon!" The gunner Patty Buddha shouted, "don't stare at the top of your head. Be careful when the bomb falls!"

Our own air force is preventing the bombing of the other side, but with so many bombers on the other side, there will still be bombers to bomb.

Almost as soon as the voice fell, sure enough, I saw a bomber overhead dropping several black bombs.

What a smelly mouth! Come what you say!
