"Armor piercing bullet, load!" At this time, the 17 pound anti tank gun was finally pushed into the gun position, which was reinforced and specially used to put this large anti tank gun.

In the past, small caliber anti tank guns had a light weight and were easy to move. Therefore, there was no problem shooting a gun and changing places.

But now, as the opponent's tank armor becomes thicker and thicker, the caliber of the anti tank gun is also larger and larger. It is not easy to move. Therefore, the threat faced by the anti tank Gunners is also larger and larger. They have no choice but to fight all the time, either fight back the enemy's attack or be killed by the opponent's gun.

This is a cruel battle.

Pattiver watched his men open the shell box and insert the shell, and he himself was quickly determining the enemy's position and firing data.

Large caliber has brought high power, and their range has also improved. Now, there are so many tanks on the other side. It is the most appropriate choice to kill the other side at a long distance.

"Bang!" A shell was stuffed into the chamber, and pattiver held a telescope and observed the situation opposite.

Several tanks immediately attracted his attention. On the turrets of those tanks, the commander was actually outside. Moreover, he also waved a small flag. Needless to say, he was definitely the commander!

Kill them first!

"1200 meters away, the third tank on the right, ready to fire!" Cried pattiver.

With his command, the gunner quickly moved the gun body and made fine adjustments. Finally, he shouted, "I've aimed!"

"Fire!"

"Boom!" As the firing order was issued, the gunner pulled the gun rope hard. At this moment, a huge flame burst out from the muzzle. In terms of movement and noise, it was comparable to the naval gun on the battleship.

At the same time, the whole gun body was shaking violently, and the recoil force was amazing.

Everyone, at this moment, feels that their heart has been hit. This gun is better than a howitzer!

No way, the British tank gun takes the road of brushing chamber pressure. Although the caliber of this anti tank gun is small, the charge in the cartridge is quite strong, resulting in high chamber pressure. The advantage is that the initial speed of the shell is high, and the disadvantage is short service life.

Now, after the launch, they even had no time to see their combat results, so they continued to reload in an orderly manner and prepare for the next shooting.

The hollow capped armor piercing projectile flies towards the opposite side at the initial speed of 884 meters per second. It takes only one and a half seconds to reach a distance of 1200 meters.

At this time, the Soviet tank forces were not aware of the arrival of the crisis. The last time they were attacked by artillery on the opposite side, it began at a distance of about 500 meters.

This time, a thousand meters away, the Finnish army opened fire!

"Boom!" This shell, with a nearly perfect trajectory curve, flew to a T-34 tank opposite!

With a sharp roar, the shell hit the T-34's incomparably smooth cast turret, which is also the perfect bulletproof shape that the Soviets are most proud of.

At the next moment, a huge explosion came.

The latest Soviet T-34 tank easily penetrated the turret armor from the front, drilled into the interior of the turret and exploded!

Open the lid and expose half of Victor's body. At this moment, he was blown away. The lower half of his body had disappeared, while the upper half of his body flew into the sky in the explosion!

That's how overbearing!

"Company commander!" Andre in the back couldn't help shouting.

He saw the company commander's tank destroyed! At this time, there are more than 1000 meters from the Finnish position!

Obviously, the Soviets are holding back big moves, and the Finns are holding back big moves. The Finnish army is also equipped with more advanced anti tank guns!

The 17 pound gun, firing the most common armor piercing projectile, can penetrate 130 mm armor at a distance of 500 meters and 119 mm armor at a distance of 1000 meters at an incident angle of 30 degrees.

This kind of gun can be used as a front anal Tiger tank. Now, it is used to fight T-34, which is simply torture and killing.

The front armor of T-34 tank is only 60mm thick!

So, what should I do?

Move on, of course!

What is tank naval warfare? That is, when we can't gain an advantage in quality, we can use quantity to win. When the counter attack speed of the other party's anti tank gun can't match that of our own attack, the other party will lose!

To fight is to die!

"Move on, move on!" Andre shouted, "high explosive bomb, load me with high explosive bomb!"

Of course, they don't just get beaten and don't fight back. Now, although the other party has only fired a shot, they have exposed their goals. Just wait to be beaten!

At his command, the loader on one side took out a high explosive bomb from behind and stuffed it into the bore of the 76 mm cannon in front.

"Loading completed!"

Turning his eyes from his command post, Andre began to operate the tank and aim.

Yes, he is both the commander and the gunner!

T-34 tank, in order to achieve a balance in mobility, firepower and protection, had to carry out simplified design. Its turret seat size was not large enough, and the turret was also very small, so only two people could be stuffed in.

In this way, the vehicle commander should be responsible for commanding the whole tank and operating the artillery. He is both the vehicle commander and the artillery commander.

In the absence of artillery stabilization system, he should have stopped to shoot more appropriately, but now, the whole tank force is charging. The faster they charge, the shorter the time, and the smaller the casualties. Therefore, he did not order the tank to stop at all, but fired directly!

"Boom!" Andre stepped on the firing device, a fire came out of the muzzle, and the whole turret shook with it.

Kill the anti tank gun opposite!

However, when he looked at the observation hole, he looked at his shell, which was almost more than 20 meters away from the target, and exploded in the open space on one side!

"High explosive bomb, continue loading!" He is not discouraged. Tank guns often rely on luck. Especially now, it is even more difficult for them to fire while moving forward.

While rushing and firing, if you can drive up, your own tank track can also crush the other party!

Tanks were attacking on the snow, and the tracks rolled out deep ruts. Behind them, snowflakes more than two meters high were raised.

"Boom!" Andre's tank suddenly vibrated, and the tracks on one side could be heard clattering, but he couldn't move any further.

"We've got a mine!" The driver shouted, "the track is broken!"
