Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

The belated I-153 and I-16 encountered 20 BF-109F fighters.

"It's the German BF-109!!"

"The Germans also joined the war?!"

"Damn it! Didn't I say that the Finns only have Fokker fighter jets?"

"It's Spanish!"

Several sharp-eyed Soviet pilots noticed the Spanish national emblem printed on the fuselages of those BF-109F fighter jets. You must know that the relationship between Spain and the Soviet Union is not harmonious. In recent years, the Spanish government has accused the Soviet Union of embezzling 560 tons of gold shipped to the Soviet Union during the Spanish Civil War. As for the Soviet Union, it didn't even see the shadow of gold, so how could it possibly admit it.

In this way, the atmosphere of gunpowder between the two countries has been very strong, and they are just short of directly declaring war.

Unexpectedly, Spain is now openly helping Finland.

The fighters of both sides had already fought against each other during the Spanish Civil War. At that time, the I-15 and I-16 were beaten to a pulp. Although they had been upgraded and improved, the BF-109 did not stand still. It was also upgraded from the original BF-109B. As for the BF-109F, its performance still surpasses today's I-153 and I-16/24 models.

Soon, the fighter jets from both sides were entangled, scurrying around, you bit my tail, I wanted to maneuver out of the way, pull up, dive, make a big turn...

From time to time, planes emitted thick smoke and fell from the sky; there were I-15s, I-16s, and BF-109Fs; in general, more Soviet planes were shot down, after all, the BF-109Fs The performance is more outstanding and the pilots have much more practical experience.

Finnish soldiers on the Mannerheim Line cheered as they watched Soviet planes crash into the ground dragging thick smoke.

The Mannerheim Line was one of the four major lines of defense in Europe during World War II.

After Mannerheim became chairman of the Finnish Defense Council in 1931, he stepped up the construction of a defense line across the entire Karelian Isthmus, which was basically completed by 1939.

The entire defense line includes a support zone, a main defense zone, a second defense zone, and a rear defense zone in the direction of Vipuri (Vyborg). The security zone extends from the original Finnish-Soviet border to the front of the main defense zone, with a depth of 25 to 65 kilometers. It contains field forward positions and a large number of obstacles (stone pile villages, tree trunk deer villages, anti-tank trenches, cliffs, barbed wire fences, and minefields). etc.), and arranged in echelons to form a large and deep obstacle area, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the Finnish army's defense.

The main defense zone stretches from Murira to Taipalai, with a total length of 135 kilometers and a maximum depth of 95 kilometers. It consists of 25 resistance hubs and is divided into two sections: 14 resistance hubs cover the direction of Vipuri. , 11 resistance hubs cover the direction of Kekesholm,

The fortifications in the direction of Vipuri are the strongest. Each resistance hub has a frontage of 5 to 4 kilometers and a depth of 5 to 2 kilometers. It is based on a small number of reinforced concrete permanent shooting fortifications and is combined with field shooting fortifications and obstacles to form a ring defense system. The strength of the permanent garrison ranges from 1 company to 1 battalion, and its task is to block the main roads and lake passes. The strongest permanent shooting fortifications can withstand direct hits from 203mm artillery shells, and some field shooting fortifications can withstand 122-152mm artillery shells. A field intermediate position was built between the resistance hubs. The second defense zone is 3 to 5 kilometers away from the main defense zone and mainly constructs field defenses.

Diagonal positions were constructed in some areas between the second defense zone and the main defense zone. Only some field fortifications were constructed in the rear defense zone. Before the Soviet-Finnish War began, the Finnish army also set up additional minefields and destroyed railways and bridges that might be used by the Soviet army.

I saw a white parachute floating out from a fallen I-15.

"Take prisoners!"

The airspace between the two sides was Finnish airspace, which was quite disadvantageous for Soviet pilots. Even if the downed pilot was lucky enough to parachute and fell to the ground, he would become a prisoner. If he resisted at all, he would be shot on the spot.

At this time, Anatoli, the commander of the SB-2 bomber group, even felt like crying. The support he had finally hoped for, let alone help, was hard to save himself.

At the risk of nearly half of the losses, the SB-2 bomber group finally approached the Mannerheim line of defense, and Anatoly quickly gave the order. "Drop the bomb, drop the bomb!"

The bombardier dropped all the bombs in the magazine at once, regardless of whether he hit the target or not.

After dropping nearly a ton of bombs, the bomber became much more relaxed and its speed increased a lot. The remaining bombers also dropped their bombs and quickly turned around and fled in the direction they came from. At this time, the remaining six Lager-3 fighter jets had almost exhausted their ammunition and did not continue the pursuit.

The Soviet fighter jets also gradually withdrew. After all, they were originally here to escort the bombers. Now that the bombers have flown away, there is no need for them to fight to the end here.

The Finnish soldiers on the ground watched calmly as the bombs dropped by the bombers landed in the open space a few miles away from the defense line. Hundreds of bombs did not cause even a single casualty, and they were all wasted.

At this moment, a signal flare was raised in the distance. It was a signal from the scouts in front, indicating that the Soviet ground troops had begun to attack.

"Ready to fight!"

As ground infantry, they could only watch everything in the sky. Even the anti-aircraft artillery did not open fire to avoid accidentally damaging friendly aircraft. But now, the Soviet ground troops are finally dispatched!

Although the specific situation could not be seen, the plumes of black smoke rising from the desert in the distance indicated that it was a mechanized force.

After a while, a huge battle group appeared in the distance, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath.

How many troops did the Soviets mobilize?

The Soviet Union is full of wilderness, which is perfect for the attacking troops to use their force. But now, the entire formation is comparable to the densely packed heads during ancient sieges. People can't help but feel a sense of wonder when they see it. fear.

Leading the way were countless tanks, and behind the tanks were densely packed infantry.

In an observation post on the Mannerheim line of defense, a German held a telescope and looked at the Soviet tanks approaching in the distance, with a look of disdain on his face. These Soviets seemed to be menacing, but to him they were nothing.

They seemed to want to learn the offensive methods of the German armored forces, but unfortunately they didn't even imitate the appearance, let alone the magic. Judging from their "professional" eyes, the Soviet attack seemed too amateurish.

Take the offensive formation as an example. If the German troops were attacking, the tanks would be arranged in a V-shaped formation suitable for exerting firepower, as if they were driven in by a wedge. Several V-shaped formations formed a triangular square formation. It is indestructible and can easily pass through the opponent's defense line.

And what about the Soviets now? It was like a long snake formation, without any formation, they just swarmed up.

Nothing to fear!
