USSR 1941

Chapter 320 Cannonball

So things are often so ironic that ignorant, stubborn, and conceited people often don't think that it is precisely their own faults, but that other people are stubborn and refuse to listen to his suggestions.

Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and the 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, Stephen said Their style of play, which overemphasizes defense and step by step, is cowardly and cowardly in the eyes of them who emphasize bravery and fearlessness.

Of course, Shulka did not think the same 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 out one thing: what's wrong with laying mines, barbed wire, roadblocks and other enemies in front of the defense line to attack and consume the enemy's vitality? Why risk an attack at the cost of a soldier's life when you're not sure?

This is exactly what they did on the battlefield, so they built defense lines one after another in North Africa, but one after another was broken by Rommel with weak forces... The British still didn't understand what was wrong with them.

In the end they even succeeded. Montgomery successfully blocked Rommel at Alamein, and after a stalemate for a while even began to counterattack and finally drove Rommel out of North Africa.

However, if you consider the comparison of troops and equipment 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 orders to Rommel were sent to Rommel, Montgomery Already 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 training of the Soviet army with a mentality of waiting to see the good show and gloating.

It is really difficult to deal with people like Stephen, because he is sending equipment and teaching the Soviet army to use this batch of equipment, so the Supreme Command requires "to take the training of the advisory group seriously."

Needless to say what this "seriousness" means, 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 the training, Katukov contacted Shulka with a phone call: "They have finished making two bazookas, you can take a look right away!"

"yes,

Comrade Katukov! "Shuerka put down the phone and immediately walked towards the regiment headquarters.

In the command headquarters, American officers such as Johnson and Skinner are present, and of course Kalashnikov and Sissoy are there.

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 Compared with the original version, the performance and rate of fire have been greatly improved!"

"Yes!" Hisoi raised his head towards a document 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 join us...you are very talented in this area!"

Katukov laughed: "Of course, but he is also very talented on the battlefield!"

"Can we use this thing?" Major Johnson asked. "I mean, if we bring this improved bazooka back to America..."

"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 comments? I mean mass production!"

Shulka took the test data and looked at it, and then replied: "No problem, Colonel! But can I make some other suggestions..."

"Of course, Comrade Shulka!" Sisoy hurriedly said, "Any suggestions are welcome!"

Shulka picked up the bazooka and tried it, and there was nothing wrong with it, not much different from the "Super Bazooka"... Shulka's help made it a quick upgrade to make up for some 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 mean, 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 aimed at tank armor, with a grenade, and we can change it to anti-infantry or anti-fortification equipment. 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 meters, this distance is beyond the range of enemy grenades, we can use it to bomb enemy bunkers and machine gun fortifications!"

"Yes!" Shulka said. "We can even invent another warhead, like... the German 'S' mine, with steel balls in the warhead!"

The officers in the headquarters couldn't help but look at each other.

This is certainly not because Shulka's proposals are ineffective, but they are clearly achievable, not only achievable but easy to do, and it is conceivable that it can be used to great effect on the battlefield.

The reason is that such a powerful direct-firing weapon is sometimes needed on the battlefield.

Prior to this, light mortars were mostly used as cover in close combat between the enemy and us.

But some things are hard to hit with a curved mortar.

Such as a wall standing in front of you, or an anti-tank barrier, or a sandbag... The curved trajectory of the mortar makes it only hit one point, and it takes a lot of luck to hit the target.

Direct artillery fire can indeed solve this problem, but the artillery itself has inherent security issues and is easily covered by enemy firepower.

That's why the German army invented the assault gun with tank chassis.

But now, the Soviet army doesn't seem to need any assault guns at all...they can achieve this goal with direct fire from the 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 bunker perforation. () "Soviet Union 1941" only represents the views of the author's expeditionary soldiers.
