Speaking of the current battle situation on the Soviet-German battlefield, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "In fact, if the current Soviet Red Army cannot adjust its mentality, fundamentally improve the ability of its commanders, and quickly change its current tactics of emphasizing offense and ignoring defense, or even not fighting a defensive war at all."

"No matter what weapons they are given, they can't change the situation. The command ability of Soviet generals at all levels, including junior officers, was too different from the German army, except for a few people. The ability to use tactics on the battlefield was also too backward compared with the German army. Most officers will only blindly fight to the death. ”

"Its own ground firepower superiority is so vain. A large number of equipped forty-five-mm anti-tank guns have such excellent performance. In addition, the regimental Type 22 field gun, which could be used as an anti-tank, did not play much role. There is a good weapon, but it can't work. ”

"The same rocket-like promotion, under the threat of the Great Purge, the cadres of the Soviet army at all levels developed a problem of only maintaining the problem, and an overly dogmatic mentality. No matter how unrealistic the tasks assigned by the superiors are, they dare not put them forward. In addition, the competence of officers at all levels is mostly not commensurate with their position. ”

"That's why I'm forcing our military cadres at all levels to constantly improve their tactical literacy. Ignoring the complaints of commanders at all levels, they were constantly evaluated. Forcing them to study the culture, to learn all aspects of military courses. We even used Japanese prisoners as instructors to train our cadres at all levels. ”

"Under the situation of material shortage, a large number of equipment and materials have been dispatched to continuously carry out various large-scale exercises. In order to let them improve their tactical literacy as much as possible, they would rather pay more on the training ground and in the classroom, rather than pay the price paid by the Soviet army today because of their own ability on the battlefield. ”

Regarding the Soviet Army's performance in World War II for most of the time, Yang Zhen actually looked down on it in his heart. Too dogmatic on the battlefield and too rigid in tactics. Although they have an absolute advantage in equipment most of the time in ground combat, they often pay more than their opponents.

It is precisely because of the fact that the cadres at all levels of their own troops are also rocket-style promotions, and Yan Zòng lacks the ability corresponding to his position. Yang Zhencai forced commanders at all levels to continue to study and study. He even did not hesitate to use the enemy as a teacher, and selected some middle and high-ranking officers from among the Japanese prisoners of war to serve as teachers.

After Yang Zhen said this, his thoughts were a little off-topic. It's just that where his thoughts at the moment have gone, Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun don't know. Regarding Yang Zhen's previous thoughts, Li Yanping still didn't have anything out of excessive trust in Yang Zhen, but Guo Bingxun still didn't understand it.

Hearing that Yang Zhen finally handed over some of the American-made trucks to the Soviets, and even provided some American-made fighters, Guo Bingxun was somewhat anxious. The Americans' aid negotiations have only just begun, and the devil knows when the real large amount of aid will arrive, and the next combat operation may start at any time.

Compared with the Soviet-made and Japanese-made trucks currently used by the Anti-Union, American-made trucks not only have excellent performance, large tonnage of load, but also have solid leather, durability and high horsepower. At present, it is the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation in tactical transportation, and in the next operation, it must undertake the task of strategic transportation.

The carrying capacity of an American-made Dodge three-ton truck is almost equivalent to two Soviet-made Gass trucks or Japanese-made Toyota trucks. With American-made trucks, the maximum amount of material can be transported with the least amount of capacity. Not only does it save capacity, but it also saves gas and drivers.

Guo Bingxun is now planning to use the American-made trucks in stock to replace all the existing Soviet-made trucks in the army. In order to achieve as much as possible the same model of various trucks used by the field troops, so as to facilitate maintenance and replenishment of spare parts. At the same time, as much as possible, it is still quite precious gasoline for the current confrontation union.

Although the carrying capacity of Soviet-made trucks is not large, the engine is an oil tiger, and the fuel consumption of a truck is almost equal to that of a tank. The point is that the capacity is far from that of American-made trucks. Except for a small number of Yak-12 trucks, most of the Soviet-made trucks in the Anti-Union have a load capacity of one and a half tons, or even only one and a half tons, or even only one or two tons, which is far worse than that of American trucks.

The capacity of an American-made three-ton truck is almost equivalent to two, if not more, Soviet-made trucks. However, the fuel consumption is the same as that of many Soviet-made trucks with the same carrying capacity, and the most important thing is that the workload of repair and maintenance is also greatly reduced. The average kilometers traveled by American-made trucks have a much lower failure rate than Soviet-made trucks. These advantages are undoubtedly a great relief to the current situation of the current shortage of repair and maintenance personnel in the Federation.

In this case, let Guo Bingxun hand over these American-made trucks with excellent performance, and it is strange that he is not in pain. Moreover, he was worried that once the Soviets themselves had an insatiable appetite and were mobilized by these American-made trucks with extremely good performance, if new American aid arrived in the future, then these trucks that were also urgently needed by the Anti-Japanese Federation would also become their key targets of plunder.

In Guo Bingxun's view, anyway, among the trucks currently in stock, there are still thousands of Soviet-made trucks that have been converted into reserves with the arrival of American-made trucks with better performance in large quantities. If you want to give out part of the trucks in exchange, then why not use Soviet-made trucks?

These Soviet-made trucks themselves were produced by the Soviets, and when it comes to the familiar Cheng dù, I am afraid that they are far more familiar than American-made trucks. Returning these trucks to the Soviets will not only be familiar to them, but will also be more convenient in replenishing and repairing spare parts.

As for Yang Zhen's promise to increase the supply of recoilless guns and bazookas, Guo Bingxun didn't care too much. Because he knew that the 57-mm recoilless gun and the anti-tank rocket launcher currently in use were only a transitional piece of equipment. In itself, it was to attract the attention of the Soviets.

At present, there are enough 82 recoilless guns in the warehouses of the Anti-Union to prepare for the replacement of 57-mm recoilless guns. The newer, and more powerful, 105-mm recoilless gun, which can be used as a regimental artillery, has also been tested.

It's just that because of the limited raw materials that had to be concentrated before, the production of the 57 recoilless guns and the 60 and 82 mortars that the troops urgently needed were even more urgent, and at the same time organized the partial production of the 82 recoilless guns, but they have not been produced. If there is a need for this new type of direct-aim artillery, it can be put into production in the shortest possible time.

As for the new type of bazooka that replaces the currently used Type 39 rocket launcher, trial production has been completed. This bazooka with better power and performance has not been produced because Yang Zhen has not expressed his position. If it goes into production, the production of this will not be much more complicated, but the high-performance weapon can be produced in the shortest possible time.

Who is Guo Bingxun? At the beginning, Yang Zhen ordered the production of 57 mm recoilless guns at the same time, but also when the production of 82 mm recoilless guns, although they were much more powerful, but obviously somewhat repetitive in equipment. I know what the plan of this No. 1 who has always used the Soviets more than his allies is in mind.

He always seems to have foresight, silently planning a qiē. As early as a year ago, he insisted that the German army would not repeat the mistake of fighting on two sides during World War I, which ultimately led to defeat. Before the Western Front was settled against the British, the main forces would be dispatched to fight against the USSR. insisted that the Germans would launch an attack on the Soviet Union in a fairly short period of time.

At the same time, it was insisted that the German army would replicate the blitzkrieg in Western Europe in the Soviet Union as it was. And insisted on the fact that when the supply of raw materials was not sufficient, he risked overproducing the two anti-tank weapons that the Anti-Union could produce at present because of the arrears on the Soviet side for more military raw materials.

At his insistence, the stock of 57-mm recoilless guns and Type 39 rocket launchers in warehouses now more than fully meet the figures now issued by the Soviet army. If we add the equipment that the troops have reequipped, the quantity supplied can be tripled.

Even at the beginning, except for the new 82 recoilless gun, which had been hidden and not exposed like the Soviet side, the other two were also brought in by the Soviets for battlefield observation. It was as if a war advertisement was made with these two weapons, specifically to sell to the Soviet side.

This dude, with his extraordinary foresight, has been calculating the Soviets. And now the situation is also being realized step by step according to his expectations. So for Yang Zhen's lion opening in this regard, Guo Bingxun didn't feel any surprise. What he objected to was the exchange of American-made trucks that were in high demand like his own.

Regarding Guo Bingxun's opposing attitude, Yang Zhen shook his head. The shortcomings in the performance of Soviet-made trucks, he is not unclear. With the arrival of a large number of American-made trucks, all the Soviet-made trucks in the troops have been withdrawn from the various transport units, except for a few Yaliu tonnage trucks.

In addition to some of the captured Japanese-made trucks, as the capacity of the divisional automobile battalion. As well as some of the four-wheel drive Gass trucks have been converted into heavy artillery tractors, a considerable part has been transferred to the reserve. Or it was transferred to the Northeast Bureau and the Northeast Working Committee for local industrial construction and the transportation of local materials.

Compared with Soviet-made trucks, although the carrying capacity of Japanese-made trucks is not large, because the Japanese have always had aggressive ambitions against China, many of the equipment is specially developed to adapt to the Chinese battlefield, and these Japanese trucks are suitable for use in the Northeast environment and are still very popular.

In particular, the Nissan 80 truck, although the load capacity is not large, but because of its excellent performance, it is still very popular among the troops. In particular, this kind of truck is currently the main truck of the Kwantung Army, and it is relatively easy to obtain spare parts. Many troops would rather have such Japanese-made trucks than Soviet-made trucks.

Even the Japanese-made 94-type trucks and Toyota KB trucks, which are almost the same in performance as the Jiss 5 trucks, are more popular than the Soviet-made GAS trucks. Because the steering and shifting performance of Soviet-made trucks are too backward, with the size and physique of Chinese, driving Soviet-made trucks is really a physical life.

Compared to the Soviets, who had big shoulders and round waists, these Soviet-made trucks were really hard to drive. In the words of the auto soldiers who drove these cars, it was more troublesome to drive these Soviet-made Gass and Gis trucks than to drive tanks. Changing gears, you almost have to use the strength to feed. Once the vehicle is turned off while driving, restarting is more of a body.

In addition to the fact that the load capacity and performance of Soviet-made trucks are not as good as those of American-made trucks, and the Soviet Union's backward industrial base, the quality of Soviet-made trucks is also the worst among the three types of trucks, and the excessive fuel consumption of Soviet-made trucks is also a big problem. The fuel consumption of a Soviet-made one-and-a-half-ton gas truck is almost the same as that of a three-ton American-made truck, but the load capacity is much worse.
