Mb152 fighter is a kind of fighter, not an attack aircraft. For Finland, despite the participation of the volunteer air force, the air force is still stretched.

Therefore, the Finnish air force needs to be a generalist. In addition to air combat, it can also attack the ground. In this regard, mb152 fighter has congenital advantages.

This fighter has two weapons: two 20mm Spanish Swiss hs404 machine guns on the wing, each with 60 bullets, and two 7.5mm mac1934 aircraft machine guns, each with 500 bullets.

This machine gun is an automatic continuous firing gun produced by sispano xuza company. Its derivative model was widely used as aviation gun and land-based weapon by Britain, France and the United States during World War II.

Compared with other light weapons, hs.404 with 20mm projectile is more lethal. This makes it an ideal air defense weapon installed on light vehicles and used to replace the 7.62mm and 7.7mm machine guns installed in large numbers on warplanes in the 1930s.

Hs.404 in France is produced by sispano's French branch and has become a famous machine gun series. After all, the lethality of 20mm machine gun is far greater than that of ordinary machine gun.

However, when shooting in the air, its main bomb is high explosive bomb, which is killed by explosion and debris. This kind of bomb has no great effect against tanks on the ground.

However, in addition to the high explosive projectile, it also has a new kind of projectile, that is, the 168 gram armor piercing tracer projectile!

Now, mb152 fighter's 60 rounds of shells are stuffed with such armor piercing shells. After all, their goal this time is to attack the ground!

When the fighter plane turned into a dive, it sent out a unique Doppler roar. In Bruce's view, the T-34 tank became clearer and clearer.

At this time, the Soviet tank forces had found them, but they had no effective weapons to protect them.

Hans ruder 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 assisted by the United States to the Soviet Union were equipped with a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun. He was shot down by this machine gun several times in the process of dive attack.

At this time, the diving fighter is absolutely safe. There is no threat except accidental collision!

The altitude is getting lower and lower. After all, this fighter is not a professional attack aircraft. It has no angle of attack display and no alarm equipment. Everything depends entirely on its own experience.

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

"Bang, bang!" The 20mm machine guns on both sides roared wildly, and the whole fighter was shaking.

Just press it, he quickly released it. Even so, four or five shells flew out!

The tracer armor piercing bullet marked a shining track in the air and went straight to the Soviet tank on the ground.

For any tank, the top is always the weakest. The top of 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 ordinary individual soldiers, can break through it, not to mention the current 20 mm machine gun!

Almost several shells roared into the turret, and then a huge explosion came out of the turret.

"Boom!"

The internal ammunition exploded, and the air flow leaked from the seat ring of the turret. The whole small turret flew directly to the sky.

"Long live!" The Finnish soldiers cheered at the sight of their own fighters.

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 mb152 fighter after another swooped down from the air and used 20mm machine guns on both sides to attack tanks. Their attack was quite effective. The attack of Soviet tank forces slowed down at once.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up!" Cried pattiver.

Everyone is excited to have their own aircraft to help the war, but the anti tank hand must not relax at this time! Pattiver shouted at his gunners.

Gunners will become deaf in the future, because the sound of guns is too strong. Now, after firing more than 20 guns, everyone's ears are buzzing and can't hear anything.

Therefore, those who watch the shooting are commanded by flags rather than shouting. That's why.

"Hurry up!" Pattiver couldn't hear his cry, so he raised his legs, put his hands on his ass and kicked with his leather boots.

The loader stopped looking at the distance and quickly loaded the ammunition.

"Bang!"

Another armor piercing bullet was stuffed into the gun chamber. Then, with a bang, the shell flew to another KV-1 tank in the distance.

From a long distance, the 17 pound gun destroyed several T-34 tanks. After approaching, the 17 pound gun was mainly used to deal with KV-1 tanks. After all, this big guy was its target, while the other anti tank guns were used to greet the T-34 pouring in like a tide

At that time, the Soviet tanks were as powerful as a rainbow. Now, under the air attack, their attack was relaxed. After the T-34 on the front position was destroyed, the Soviets were not so fierce at last!

This time, the Soviets were going to fail. They lost hundreds of tanks and still didn't conquer their own positions!

Amid the roar of gunfire, pattiver finally saw hope, but then he saw a larger fleet flying in the distant sky.

Soviet fighter!

"Bang, bang!" After killing a T-34 tank again, Bruce pulled up his plane. Before he could find the next target, he heard the call in the radio: "Soviet aircraft, a large number of Soviet aircraft are flying towards us!"

The speed of the Soviet air force was not slow. They had flown over the front line. Their arrival saved the tank troops on the ground and relieved the threat of Finnish fighters in the sky.

"Give up the ground attack and prepare for battle!" Bruce shouted loudly. At this time, the 60 20mm shells on both sides have been almost consumed, but he still has two machine guns!

The machine gun fed by drum has always faced the problem of insufficient ammunition carrying capacity. This problem can be solved only by using ammunition chain.
