Chapter 341 Conceited
The problem of training was soon resolved.
The method is to use the model for training... The model of the rocket launcher is very simple to make. You only need to take a few logs of similar size to saw the size of the rocket launcher, and then nail the handle, shoulder rest and the like. Even soldiers Do it yourself.
"What is this, Comrade Captain?" The veteran asked curiously during training: "I've never seen anything like this!"
"You don't need to know what it is!" Shulka replied: "You just need to know that it can destroy enemy tanks at a distance of about 100 meters!"
"Did I hear correctly, destroying enemy tanks at a hundred meters?" The actor looked at the model used by the bazooka shooter for training and expressed doubts: "Is this the thing? I thought it was something like a mortar!"
"I thought you would use it as a bong!" Pukarev's words made the soldiers laugh, and the actor's addiction to cigarettes was no secret in the army.
The instructor leaned over and asked in doubt: "Can it really destroy tanks?"
"Yes!" Shulka replied: "They are rushing to produce, and it won't be long before we can use the real thing!"
"Very good!" The instructor couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "So, we seem to be able to get rid of that arrogant guy!"
As he spoke, the instructor raised his head towards Stephen, who was sulking on the other side.
"Leave him alone!" Shulka said: "If it weren't for the tank operation problem, he could even go back!"
If anyone has any objections to the training of the new Soviet tactics, it is Stephen.
When Shulka and Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov announced the change of the training plan at the meeting, Colonel Stephen stood up angrily and said: "No, Lieutenant Colonel, I don't think it is wise!"
"Really?" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov asked: "Comrade Colonel, why do you think so?"
"Can I understand that you plan to use infantry as the main force to deal with German tanks?" Stephen said, "This is unimaginable, Lieutenant Colonel! And Captain Shulka... I must emphasize again that we are in Africa with the Germans. Armored units fought against them, they are not as easy to deal with as you think..."
"We also fought against the enemy's armored forces!" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Stephen: "We never thought they were easy to deal with!"
"But you are still fantasizing about defeating them with infantry as the main force!" Stephen said: "This is suicide, gentlemen, this is suicide... As a British officer, your ally, and the commander of the military advisory group, I think I It is necessary to remind you that this is impossible, the enemy's tank guns and machine guns will instantly smash those bazooka shooters to a pulp, before they fire the rockets! Besides, these bazookas may not work as you think !"
"So!" Shulka asked back: "Colonel, do you think we have other better methods?"
"Of course!" Stephen replied: "Building fortifications, laying mines and barbed wire, as well as anti-tank trenches and roadblocks..."
"That's defense, Colonel!" Shulka interrupted Stephen.
"Yes, we should defend!" Stephen replied: "The mobility and firepower of our tanks are not as good as those of the Germans. This should be avoided as much as possible!"
"So..." Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov asked, "What if we want to attack?"
"It's very simple!" Stephen replied: "The troops did it again every time they occupied a place. We used this method to successfully block the German attack in Africa!"
The British did this. They used a large number of mines and obstacles to block the front, followed by a line of defense composed of infantry and tanks, and then artillery.
Even the British did successfully hold off the German attack in Africa... At this time, Rommel's Afrika Korps was blocked from advancing on the border between Libya and Egypt.
However, Shulka knew that this was because the British army had an absolute advantage in terms of strength and supplies, and there was also the natural danger of Halfa Yaguan... There is a cliff formed by weathered rocks in the area of Halfa Yaguan, and there are only a few exits, including Ha Alphajam can pass through.
On the other hand, the British army could use the Suez Canal and railway lines to transport fresh water and ammunition, which forced Rommel, who was seriously short of supplies and troops, to temporarily stop his offensive.
However, this is only "temporary", and soon Rommel's army will break through Halfa's teeth and enter Egypt.
At this time, Stephen used this "temporary" as a capital to show off, and even taught the Soviet army how to fight with a superior attitude.
"Trust me, Lieutenant Colonel!" Stephen said, "I know our tanks, and I have commanded them on the battlefield against the Germans! You don't have relevant experience, so I'm here, don't you? But you give my advice Ignore it..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Colonel!" Shulka said: "Perhaps you are right, you know these tanks. But, you don't know our army and this battlefield!"
"Okay!" Colonel Stephen spread his hands and said, "It's up to you, but if you have to do this, please allow me to report what happened to the British side. I don't want to wait until you lose the battle and suffer losses. He was questioned and even held responsible for this!"
"Of course, you can do this!" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov said: "Don't worry, Colonel. I can guarantee that no one will hold you responsible. Besides, we will defeat those Germans!"
"Then let us wait and see!" Colonel Stephen walked out of the meeting room with his head held high after saying this, as if leaving a group of ignorant clowns.
"Why does he behave like that?" Commissar Fumin said, "I mean, he walks like a goose!"
The officers laughed with a "coax".
Colonel Stephen was actually suppressing his inner anger in the conference room. When he returned to his headquarters, he immediately burst out at the staff: "These idiots, they don't know how to use these tanks at all, we send these equipment to It is a waste to get here, they will send these precious resources to the enemy's muzzle for the Germans to destroy like a practice shooting. I have never seen such an ignorant, stubborn, self-righteous group of people...so let's wait , they will come and beg me, after being defeated by the Germans!"
