Chapter 710: Exploding the Sea of Tanks
"Kotin, didn't you say that our KV-1 tank, without any weapons, can penetrate him?" Stalin, with a gloomy face, asked the tank designer on the side.
At the beginning, Kotin patted his chest, as long as the KV-1 sorted, one impact, tore the defense line of the Finns! But what about now?
Of course, there are various reasons for losing the battle, but Kejing must not escape responsibility!
Kotin's face turned pale, and when the news of the defeat of the tank came back, he was keenly aware of the problem, not good! Once Comrade Stalin becomes angry, no matter how much he has contributed before, he may be sent to prison!
What to do? What to do?
Kejing didn't know what to say, his mistake was a certainty.
"Comrade Stalin, our tanks are already strong enough, and the main reason for this defeat is that the Finnish army, which received advanced anti-tank weapons, even surpassed the level of all countries of this era." Voroshilov said.
With a few words, Voroshilov erased Kotin's responsibility, and Kotin couldn't help but express his gratitude in his heart, or his father-in-law is amazing!
You can't blame our army for being too incompetent, you have to blame the enemy army for being too strong!
Who could have known that so many weapons appeared in the Finnish army?
"Yes, originally, according to our intelligence observations, the weapons of the Finnish army were quite backward, but now, a large number of advanced weapons have appeared in the Finnish army." At this time, Khrushchev, who was good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, also came over: "A large number of legal fighters and tanks have appeared in Finland, and these weapons have a special origin!" ”
Hearing this, Stalin frowned: "A weapon of the rule of law? ”
France, has surrendered, a large number of legal weapons, the origin of which is needless to say!
"Yes, and we also found out that there is a volunteer army of people from other countries who are helping Finland in the war."
"Are there Germans in there?" Stalin asked.
"There are no Germans, and it is precisely because of this that it is more suspicious."
Stalin nodded, now, everything goes without saying, behind it, it must be the Germans who are doing ghosts!
On the surface, the Germans said that they had ceded all of Finland to the Soviet Union and reached an agreement to divide the spoils, but this time it was not like the Polish war, where the two sides worked closely together.
The Germans are cunning! On the one hand, they reached an agreement with the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, they supported Finland behind their backs!
"This matter must be investigated clearly, if it is found that the Germans are indeed behind the ghost, we will make the Germans pay the price!" Stalin said, clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the table.
Let the Germans pay! Stalin was extremely angry, but everyone present knew that the Soviets could not start a war on a third front.
The fighting in the Far East is not over yet, the people of the island countries are not willing to lose and will come back at any time, and in Finland, the war was scheduled to end in a week, and now it has been half a month, and it has not been fought.
At least, it was impossible to provoke Germany until the end of the Finnish war!
Stalin quickly figured out this, no matter what Germany was doing behind it, what he needed most now was how to defeat Finland as soon as possible!
Get out of the Finnish battlefield! However, it must be a winner!
"If Finland has the Germans behind us on the battlefield, then we have to reorganize." Budyonny said from the side.
Germany's armored forces are quite advanced and have strong combat effectiveness, although Budyonny is a cavalry marshal, he has always been the most proud of cavalry, and he also knows that tanks have a very strong impact in this era.
What if a German-made tank appears on the battlefield?
This time the KV-1 tank unit of our own side was destroyed, and it must have been a weapon provided by the Germans!
"Kejing, you say, how to solve it?" Stalin said to Kotin.
Although the blame was put on the Germans, Kotin's KV-1 tank, when it was developed, was benchmarked against German tanks, and now it has been destroyed by German anti-tank weapons!
Kejing felt sweat on his head, how to solve it?
Continue to increase the thickness of the armor of the KV-1 tank? This will make the dead weight of the tank greater, which is already the limit, and on the front line, the mechanical failures of the KV-1 tank are endless, all because of the dead weight, and if you continue to increase the weight, the reliability will be even worse!
But if he can't come up with a solution to the problem now, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep this position, Stalin doesn't need waste!
What to do? What to do?
His mind was thinking rapidly, and suddenly, thinking of his opponent, Koshkin's train of thought, he couldn't help but suddenly open up, as if a drowning person had grasped the floating straw, and he said: "Comrade Stalin, now, we need a sufficient number of tanks, after all, the opponent has a limited number of anti-tank weapons, as long as we have enough numbers, we can crush the past!" ”
The quality is not enough, the quantity is enough! How many anti-tank guns did the opposing side have? There are not many that can destroy the KV-1 tank! If the number of your own KV-1 tanks increases several times, then you will be able to rush forward!
Don't be afraid of being destroyed, as long as there are a lot of them, they can still be attacked, and the tactics of the tank sea are the only way to solve the current problem!
"Kotin, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, Stalin couldn't help but retort: "Do you know how valuable a KV-1 tank is? How can these precious tanks be used as consumables? ”
The use of high-quality alloy armor has made the cost of this tank rise again. Although the Soviet Union was a planned economy, the statistical data still gave Stalin, the helmsman, a headache, this kind of tank was too expensive.
Equipment is about the same for elite troops, as consumables? This is too much of a loser!
At this moment, Malyshev, who was in charge of tank development on the side, finally spoke: "Comrade Stalin, I have a good idea, our latest T-34 tank is less than one-third of the KV-1 tank, and we can produce T-34 in large quantities. ”
A basic premise of exploding a sea of tanks is cheap, in World War II, why was the Soviet Union able to explode a sea of tanks? It is because the T-34 is low in manufacturing cost, simplified in process, convenient in production, although shoddy, but in Soviet theory, it is enough.
How simple is it? For example, German tanks are all equipped with turret baskets, and the personnel in the turret sit in the baskets, the turret rotates, and the entire gondola rotates, and the tankers just fire.
The Soviet tanks were not good, because there was nothing under them, and their feet stepped directly on the chassis of the tank, and when the turret turned, the people in the turret spread their feet and walked with the turret!
T-34, it can be produced in large quantities!
