After the infantry battalion was changed to artillery and assigned to Savage to command, Sokov did not leave immediately. He asked Brisky tone 5 to assist in carrying artillery and shells, and also studied the issue of how to arrange artillery positions with Savage.
According to Savage's idea, since there are so many artillery, it is possible to establish an artillery position and use fierce artillery fire to eliminate the attacking enemies.
But Savage's idea was opposed by Sokov: "No, comrade Major. So many artillery must not be used in a concentrated manner." After he finished speaking, seeing Savage's face being confused, he explained to him, "Comrade Major, I admit that so many artillery can be used together to exert the maximum power and eliminate the enemies attacking the factory. But have you ever thought that if the enemy finds a large-scale artillery position here, he will definitely call the air force..." Speaking of this, Sokov instinctively looked up into the air, and found that the sky was still snowing, and the enemy's plane was obviously unable to take off, so he changed his words and said, "The enemy calls artillery and suppress you firepower. How long do you think the artillery position can survive the artillery fire between the two sides?"
Hearing Sokov's question, Savage thought for a while and said, "If the soldiers who use these artillery are all those well-trained artillery soldiers under my previous command, we can use artillery fire to counter the enemy's artillery positions. But now, those who use artillery are basically infantry, and it is impossible to suppress the enemy's artillery fire..."
Seeing that Savage looked down on his infantry, Brisky felt very uncomfortable and wanted to refute it, but he opened his mouth but did not say anything, because he understood that the other party was talking about the truth. Artillery is not like infantry. After joining the army, you only need to briefly talk about how to use weapons, and everyone can shoot guns. Artillery is a professional army and requires a relatively long training process.
"Col. Sokov," Savage saw that Sokov had a key point to the problem and guessed that the other party must have some solution in his mind, so he asked modestly: "Do you have any good ways to use these artillery better?"
"Change the artillery into pieces and spread in different positions." Sokov said as usual: "In this way, even if the enemy discovers our artillery position, it will take a little more effort to destroy you."
"How should we command after we separate the artillery?" Savage said with some embarrassment: "You have also seen that the factory area is full of smoke. I cannot confirm the location of each artillery and can see the signals sent by the signal flag in time."
"Why use the signal flag, Major?" Sokov looked at Savage and asked in confusion: "Don't you have to put a telephone line for every artillery position, and order which position to fire the artillery, and make a phone call."
Seeing that Savage was still confused, Sokov could only sigh in his heart and explain to him patiently: "Comrade Major, you divide the artillery into five to six artillery positions, some are responsible for dealing with the enemy's infantry, and some are responsible for dealing with the enemy's tanks. Each artillery position has its own responsible area. To attack the enemy in which area, you only need to call the commander of that artillery position and order him to fire the artillery. How about it, do you understand what I mean?"
After Sokov's explanation, Savage finally understood what was going on. Although the plan proposed by the other party was completely different from the tactics he used in the past, it sounded more reasonable. When Sokov asked himself, he quickly straightened his body and replied: "I understand, comrade Colonel, I will immediately disperse the artillery to several positions as you said."
Although Savage said that he understood, Sokov was still worried. He watched him and Brisky divide the artillery into five positions, tie the telephone line, and make a disguise, and then he took Samoilov and the others back to the command center with confidence.
Here, he saw Belkin who was chatting with Lyudnikov. After nodding at Belkin, he said to Lyudnikov: "Comrade Colonel, I have moved out 38 76mm cannons from the warehouse and handed them over to Major Savage under your command. Due to his lack of troops, I have also equipped him with an infantry battalion."
After hearing Sokov's words, he showed a surprise expression on his face. He stepped forward, held Sokov's hand, and said excitedly: "Col. Sokov, I am so grateful. With so many artillery, we are more confident in defending the factory."
"What, 38 artillery pieces were removed from the warehouse?" Belkin asked in surprise when he heard the conversation between the two: "Col. Lyudnikov, since there are so many artillery in the warehouse in the factory, why not arm you? At least when resisting the enemy's attack, you can reduce many unnecessary casualties?"
Lyudnikov sighed and said, "I heard that when there were artillery in the warehouse, I once provided artillery to the director of the barricade factory, but he said that this was a customized product by the National Defense Commission. No one was allowed to use it without the orders of the superiors."
"Nonsense, it's simply nonsense." Belkin was so angry that he shivered all over when he heard Lyudnikov say that, and kept saying: "So many weapons and equipment are placed in the warehouse and not handed over to the defenders in the factory for use. This is a criminal act. I think I should report to my superiors and remove the factory director."
"Col. Lyudnikov," Sokov felt very uncomfortable when he remembered what he had just learned from Sergeant Gusin. He asked Lyudnikov with a stern face: "Do you know that since the enemy attacked the city, the weapons and equipment in the warehouse have been placed there. Except for checking it every three days, no one has ever considered whether these cannons should be used to arm the defenders in the factory. If the factory is lost, then all the cannons in the warehouse will fall into the hands of the enemy. At that time, the enemy can use our cannons to deal with us."
When Sokov said this, he was a little excited. He remembered that in a Soviet novel, he saw two squads of Soviet troops stationed in a remote station. Their task was to take care of the warehouse. They didn't know anything about what was in the warehouse. Until one day, their immediate boss ordered the warehouse to open it and found that the piles of rusty nails were piled up. Sergeant Gu Xin's troops were guarding outside the warehouse for more than two months, but they had never seen anyone transport anything from it. I'm afraid the leaders of the factory had long forgotten that there were still a large number of artillery storage here. Those who came to inspect were just going through the motions according to the regulations.
After hearing Sokov's words, Lyudnikov blushed and said embarrassedly: "Col. Sokov, this is indeed my fault. I will report this matter to the headquarters immediately and ask the superiors to punish me. But our current priority is to prevent the enemy from occupying the barricade factory."
