Chapter 342 Shells
So things are often so ironic, people who are ignorant, stubborn, and conceited, they often don't think that it is precisely these problems that they have, but that other people are stubborn and refuse to listen to his suggestions.
Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and others would not pay attention to what Stephen said... Although those words sound reasonable on the surface, the rough combat style of the Soviets is incompatible with the British's rigidity. What Stephen said The style of play that overemphasizes defense and step by step is timid and cowardly in the eyes of them who emphasize bravery and fearlessness.
Of course, Shulka did not think the sa way as the Soviet officer.
He knew that it could not be said that the British army was cowardly and cowardly, but that the British still hadn't gotten out of the thinking of World War I to a certain extent. They still believed that defense had a greater advantage than offense, so when fighting The middle is more inclined to choose defense.
The British couldn't figure it out: what's wrong with laying mines, barbed wire, roadblocks and other enemies in front of the defense line to attack and consu the enemy's vital strength? Why risk an attack at the cost of a soldier's life when you're not sure?
They did exactly this on the battlefield, so they built defense lines one after another in North Africa, but one after another was broken by Roml with weak forces... The British still didn't understand what was wrong with them.
In the end they even succeeded. Montgory successfully blocked Roml in Alain, and even started a counterattack after a stalemate for a while and finally drove Roml out of North Africa.
However, if you consider the comparison of troops and equipnt between Britain and Germany, as well as the one-sided intelligence war... The British army has "super secrets" that can decipher the German army's codes. Before Hitler's order to Roml was sent to Roml, Montgory had already I know the content.
In this case, the British army only narrowly won, and obviously it cannot be called a correct strategy.
Of course, Colonel Stephen didn't think so. He still treated the Soviet army's training with a ntality of waiting to see the good show and gloating.
It is really difficult to deal with people like Stephen, because he is sending equipnt and teaching the Soviet army to use this batch of equipnt, so the Supre Command requires "to take the training of the advisory group seriously."
Needless to say what this "seriousness" ans, this is why Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and Colonel Katukov had to pretend to be false.
The advantage of this now is that the ears of Shulka, Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and others are finally quiet.
When Shulka commanded the troops to hurry up training, Katukov contacted Shulka with a phone call: "They have finished making two rocket launchers, co and see them right away!"
"Yes, Comrade Katukov!" Shulka put down the phone and imdiately walked towards the regint headquarters.
In the headquarters, Arican officers such as Johnson and Skinner are present, and of course there are Kalashnikov and Sisoy.
As soon as he saw Shulka coming in, Kalashnikov said excitedly: "Shulka...do you know? We made two rocket launchers according to your drawings and designs and conducted preliminary tests. It is unimaginable that they are in The performance and rate of fire are greatly improved compared to the original version!"
"Yes!" Hisoi nodded towards a docunt on the table and said, "That's test data, I think we can already mass-produce it!"
"Dude!" Skinner said while playing with the bazooka fondly: "I think you should work with us...you are very talented in this area!"
Katukov laughed: "Of course, but he is also very talented on the battlefield!"
"We can use this thing?" Major Johnson asked. "I an, if we bring this improved version of the bazooka back to the United States..."
"Of course!" Katukov laughed loudly: "Although I need to ask my superiors for instructions, I believe they will agree!"
Then Katukov turned his attention to Shulka and asked, "Do you have any comnts? I an mass production!"
Shuerka took a look at the test data, and then replied: "No problem, Colonel! But can I make so other suggestions..."
"Of course, Comrade Shulka!" Hisoy hurriedly answered, "Any suggestion is welco!"
Shulka picked up the bazooka and tried it, and it has no problems, and it is not much different from the "Super Bazooka"... Shulka's help made it a quick upgrade to make up for so fatal flaws.
but…
"The problem is the rocket!" Shulka said: "I think it's not just an anti-tank weapon!"
Kalashnikov couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and then quickly understood: "You an, it should also be able to anti-infantry?"
"Yes!" Shulka said: "We only need to change its warhead, and replace the conical charge, which is mainly aid at tank armor, with a grenade, and we can change it to anti-infantry or anti-fortification equipnt. We can Use it to target enemy fortifications at close range!"
"Good idea, Shulka!" Katukov couldn't help being moved when he heard this: "One hundred ters, this distance is beyond the range of enemy grenades, we can use it to bomb enemy bunkers and machine gun fortifications!"
"Yes!" said Shulka, "We could even invent another warhead, like...the German 'S' mine, with steel **** inside the warhead!"
The officers in the headquarters could not help but look at each other.
This is of course not because Shulka's suggestions are not good, but these suggestions are obviously achievable, not only achievable but also easy to do, and it is conceivable that it can play a great role on the battlefield.
The reason is that such a powerful direct-firing weapon is sotis needed on the battlefield.
Before this, most of the close combat between the enemy and the enemy used light mortars as cover.
But so things are hard to hit with curved mortars.
Like a wall standing in front of you, or an anti-tank barrier, or sandbags... The curved trajectory of the mortar makes it only hit one point, and it takes a lot of luck to hit the target.
Using direct artillery fire can indeed solve this problem, but the artillery itself has inherent security issues and is easily covered by enemy firepower.
So there was an assault gun invented by the German army using a tank chassis.
But now, the Soviets don't seem to need any assault guns at all...they can achieve this goal with a bazooka.
Compared with the curved mortar, the direct-firing bazooka obviously has a greater chance of hitting the enemy's fortifications, because its ballistic trajectory is straight, as long as it is not fired too high or too low, it will eventually hit the erected fortifications. Trenches or bunkers.
This is especially the bunker, and it is almost impossible for the mortar to hit the perforation of the bunker.
