"Go, go on!" At this time, the Soviet tank soldiers in front did not give up their intention to attack.

They have paid a great price. Now, if they retreat, the tanks they sacrificed before will be in vain. Now, they are only 200 meters away from the Finnish position. They will certainly rush up!

Go, go, go!

The tanks behind are still running at full power and charging forward, and their tank guns are constantly roaring.

"Boom!" A 76.2mm howitzer flew out of the gun chamber and flew to an anti tank gun position opposite.

This time, pattiver's luck has been exhausted.

"Boom!" The shell almost exploded next to them. When the explosion sounded, pattiver quickly drilled into the shield of the anti tank gun.

This kind of gun is very strong. At the same time, the shield is also wide enough to protect the Gunners.

Countless fragments hit the shield, making a crisp sound, accompanied by more screams.

Someone has been scratched by debris!

Patty Buddha also felt a numbness on one of his legs. He looked down and saw that his legs were gurgling with blood.

He was shot, too!

"Boom!" Just then, a more terrible explosion sounded, and an ammunition box next to them was detonated!

At the time of firing, the ammunition boxes were stacked nearby for easy use. Now, the explosion of the ammunition boxes has turned the whole anti tank gun position upside down in the explosion.

On the ground, a big hole was blown up.

Pattiver's body, like a leaf in the wind, was lifted up and fell to the ground. He felt that all his internal organs were broken.

Before losing consciousness, a stretcher lifted him up and sent him back to the field hospital. The battle here has nothing to do with him!

"Dada... Dada..." with the approach, not only grenades, but also tank machine guns can be used. Dense bullets hit the Finnish position opposite, especially those anti tank gun positions. Gunners were constantly shot and fell.

Like a cruel meat grinder, both sides are constantly bleeding and sacrificing.

Anti tank guns, less and less, less and less.

"Buzz, buzz!" A T-34 tank, with a huge roar from its engine and tracks, ran over the position of a bombed anti tank gun. The Soviet army has rushed to the position of Finland!

"Boom!" Almost at this moment, there was a violent explosion below.

A Finnish soldier, with a bundle of grenades, stuffed under the tank, and he had no time to withdraw. In this way, with the explosion, his body turned into pieces, and the track of the tank rattled and broke.

But then, the second, the third, and more T-34 tanks continued to rush up.

Explode the tank sea! Use the tactics of tank sea to conquer the ground array! No matter how many casualties you pay, you must win!

In front of the Soviet Union's tactics, the Mannerheim defense line in the Karelia isthmus of Finland was conquered by the Soviet Army!

The battle has not stopped. The Finnish army on the front launched suicide attacks and used individual anti tank weapons to destroy them. However, as the Soviet tanks continued to flood in, their battle did not recover the situation in the end.

The main defense zone fell into the hands of the Soviets, and the remaining Finnish troops retreated into the second defense zone and the rear defense zone.

Snowflakes all over the sky continue to fly. For Finland, it is an earthquake like hazard.

The main defensive zone is their greatest dependence. Now, as this position is conquered, it is only a matter of time before the latter defensive zone is conquered.

"It seems that the Mannerheim line can't be defended." At this time, in the rear capital, with the arrival of the news, everyone knew that the war situation was not optimistic.

The speaker is Loeb, a famous German defense master, who came here to help the Finns guard the defense line, especially the most important Mannerheim defense line, to block the Soviets out.

For several months, Loeb showed his talent and blocked the Soviet attack, but the strengthened defense line was occupied by the Soviet one day's attack.

Winter is long and cold. The day is quite short. Now it's night.

"Can we counter charge and drive the Soviets back?" Asked a Finnish officer.

Loeb shook his head: "no, the counter charge will only consume Finland's valuable army. Now, we should be ready to give up our positions at any time and blow up all bridges along the way at any time to prevent the Soviets from advancing to the capital along the road."

The reason why the Soviets attacked in the direction of Karelia isthmus was that for mountainous Finland, there were important transportation routes, which could directly lead to Helsinki, the capital of Finland. After all, conquering a country was to conquer their capital.

Field marshal Carl Gustav Emir Mannerheim, commander in chief of the Finnish armed forces, was looking at Loeb with questioning eyes.

At this time, it was useless to complain. Although Loeb was appointed as the military adviser of the Finnish army and his main task was to defend the Mannerheim line, the Soviet attack was too fierce.

The specific data have not been counted, but today, the Soviets should have used thousands of tanks to launch an assault. At the same time, they should have destroyed more than 200 or even more than 300 tanks.

The Soviets, they came over.

Give up the strong line of defense and retreat to the rear. Is it useful?

Will the Soviets rush to the capital as quickly as the Germans?

As if knowing Marshal Mannerheim's question, Loeb continued: "if the Soviet Union comes to conquer the defense line with the strength of the whole country, we can't defend any defense line. We can only increase the casualties of the Soviet people."

"However, our abandonment of the defense line does not mean that the Soviets can come smoothly. The terrain of Finland is different from that of Western Europe. There are high mountains here, which is not convenient for the impact of tank forces. As for mountain warfare, especially in the cold areas, the Soviet army can never compare with the Finnish army."

Loeb was quite confident: "let the Soviet Army slowly disappear in the mountains of Finland!"

As long as it is delayed to winter, Finland has won half. Loeb is very confident, which is affirmed by head of state Chirac.

"Also, in our country, we will send a mountain division to fight side by side with the Finnish army. Commander, please believe us. The war situation is not out of control. "
