Chapter 874： Break through the line of defense

"Rush, continue to rush!" At this time, the Soviet tank soldiers in front did not give up their plans to attack.

They have paid a great price. Now, if they retreat, the sacrificed tanks will be in vain. Now, only two hundred meters away from the Finnish position, they will surely be able to rush up!

Punch, punch, punch!

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

"Boom!" A 76.2 mm grenade flew out of the barrel and flew to an anti-tank gun position on the opposite side.

This time, Patty Buddha's luck has been exhausted.

"Boom!" The shell blasted almost right next to them. When the explosion sounded, Pattyfer quickly got into the shield of the anti-tank gun.

This kind of gun is very powerful, and at the same time, the shield is also very large, enough to protect the gunners.

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

Someone has been wiped by the debris!

Patty Buddha also felt a numbness in one of his legs, and looked down at his calf, blood was gurgling out.

He was also shot!

"Boom!" At this moment, a more terrifying explosion sounded, and an ammunition box next to them was detonated!

When the gun was fired, the ammunition boxes were stacked on the side for easy use. Now, the explosion of the ammunition boxes has caused the entire anti-tank gun position to be upended in the explosion.

The ground was bombed with a big hole.

Patty Buddha's body, like a leaf in the wind, was lifted off 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 to the field hospital. The battle here has nothing to do with him!

"Da da da..." As we approached, not only grenades, but also tank machine guns can be used. The dense bullets hit the opposite Finnish positions, especially those of anti-tank guns, constantly There was a bullet in the gunner and fell.

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

Anti-tank guns are becoming fewer and fewer.

"Buzz, buzz!" A T-34 tank, the engine made a huge roar, and its tracks were crushed to the position of a bombed anti-tank gun. The Soviet army had already rushed to the Finnish position!

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

A Finnish soldier took a bundle of grenades and stuffed it under the tank. He didn't have time to get out. In this way, with the explosion, his body turned into pieces, and the track of this tank, It rattled loudly, it was broken.

However, after that, the second, third, and more T-34 tanks continued to rush up.

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

In the face of the Soviet tactics, the Mannerheim line in the Karelia Isthmus region in Finland was overcame by the Soviet army!

The battle has not stopped. The Finnish army on the front launched a suicide attack and used individual anti-tank weapons to destroy them. However, as Soviet tanks continued to flood like a tide, their battle was ultimately not restored. situation.

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 in the sky continue to fly. For Finland, this is an earthquake-like hazard.

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

"It seems that the Mannerheim line of defense can't be defended." At this time, in the capital behind, with the arrival of the news, everyone knew that the war situation was no longer optimistic.

It was Loeb, the famous German defensive master, who came here to help the Finns guard the defense line, especially the most important Mannerheim line, and keep the Soviets out.

Over the past few months, Loeb has shown his talent and blocked the Soviets’ offensive, but the once-strengthened line of defense was captured by the Soviets in one day’s offensive.

Winter is long and cold, the day is quite short, now it is night.

"Can we countercharge and drive the Soviets back?" a Finnish officer asked.

Loeb shook his head: "No, a counterattack will only consume the precious Finnish army. Now, you must be prepared to give up your position at any time and blow up all the bridges along the way at any time to prevent the Soviets from following the road. , Advance to the capital."

The reason why the Soviets attacked in the direction of the Karelia Isthmus is because of the mountainous Finland, there are transportation routes that can directly lead to the Finnish capital Helsinki. After all, to conquer a country is to conquer their capital.

Marshal Karl Gustav Emil Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of the Finnish armed forces, is now looking at Loeb with questioning eyes.

At this time, complaining is useless. Although Loeb was appointed as a military adviser to the Finnish army, his main task was to defend the Mannerheim line, but the Soviet offensive was too fierce.

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

The Soviets came here dead.

Give up the strong line of defense and retreat to the back, is it useful?

Will the Soviets rush to the capital like the Germans?

As if he knew the question of Marshal Mannerheim, Loeb continued: "If the Soviet Union comes to attack the defense line with all the strength of the country, we will not be able to defend any defense line. We can only increase the casualties of the Soviets. ."

"However, because we abandon the line of defense, it does not mean that the Soviets will be able to come here smoothly. Finland and Western Europe have different terrains. These are high mountains and it is not convenient for tank troops to attack. As for fighting in mountains, it is especially cold now. In regional operations, the Soviet army is definitely no better than the Finnish army."

Loeb was quite confident: "Let the Soviet army slowly disappear in the mountains of Finland!"

As long as the winter drags on, Finland will have won half of it. Loeb is very confident about this, and this is also the head of Cyrik affirmed.

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