"I can't believe that you are such a anxious person." Umov was quite uncomfortable with Yang Mingzhi's sudden visit. After some discussion, he was fully aware of Yang Mingzhi's intentions.
"A new operation is coming soon, how can I not be anxious? Those people...them! They are my old troops."
Umov nodded deeply: "You are a good and kind general. You want me to provide a plane. This is not a problem. I just can't think of it, you also want to bring your wife? Your wife,
She is only nineteen years old?"
"Yes, you know about her."
"Of course I know! Comrade Belekova, winner of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Belekova, you made her pregnant, forcing her not to continue to kill enemies and to gain new merits. But as a man, your behavior in protecting your wife
I appreciate it. After all, she is a pregnant woman and may not be suitable for flying. For safety reasons, it is best for her not to go anywhere recently."
"No, she is not a weak person." Yang Mingzhi shook his head.
"So you insist on doing this?"
"Of course. I have to go to Perm."
"Actually, you are going to visit your old friend Comrade Speroskina? I can understand this."
Yang Mingzhi smiled slightly: "At least Perm's airport is the largest."
"Okay, okay..." Umov stood up, walked deftly around his desk a few times, and then said bluntly: "I can understand your request. You intend to act quickly. Okay,
I will give you this opportunity. Tomorrow morning, take the people you need to the airport, and I will prepare a transport plane for you. I will also personally coordinate with you, and someone will pick you up when you arrive at the Perm Airport!"
"Okay, I'll take action now."
Since Umov took on his new position, his work enthusiasm has become significantly higher.
This is inevitable, because this old guy shoulders a heavy burden. The war has reached such a field. Novosibirsk, which was originally located on the border, is now an absolutely important city. She has actually been related to the normal material movement of the Patriotic War.
Yang Mingzhi had no real leisure time during these days. As the director of Factory 834, he crossed his legs in the office and looked relaxed, but in fact he was on pins and needles. He was afraid of any production accidents in weapons production.
Apart from the first time, I was also afraid of the poor feedback from the professional gunners at the military shooting range.
After all, there were no fatal accidents in the production of firearms. As for some minor flaws, such as the butt of the firearm not being polished smoothly and some parts having obvious burrs. These situations are certainly thorny problems faced in production. In peacetime, no factory director would
Tolerate such mistakes.
On this issue, the quality supervision departments of the two factories obviously made omissions.
In extraordinary times, Yang Mingzhi had to tolerate this. It can be said that if you want production, don't think about first-class quality. Fortunately, those gunners are not harsh people. Firearms with some minor problems can still shoot wildly, and the accuracy of single-shot bursts is still the same.
Considerable. It is an excellent individual weapon, much better than the Mosin Nagant.
There is nothing wrong with his own light weapons, and Yang Mingzhi even learned from Liguschkov that there are no quality problems with the new "Catfish" individual rocket launchers produced in Novosibirsk.
These individual rocket launchers have more powerful charges than RPGs, and they are used to aim and fire at a level that is completely different from the Katyusha.
It is a complete launch system that requires a launch tube, a simple trigger system and a bracket. Because of the simplicity of the launch mechanism, on this issue, as long as there is no problem with the rocket launcher body, the launch will be normal.
Apart from the "catfish", the most ferocious is the long-range "flying fish".
During this period of time, Yang Mingzhi has revealed to some important people whether intentionally or unintentionally that the next plan of the northern Soviet army is to launch a large-scale campaign in the north!
For an operation involving more than one million troops, it is unrealistic to expect it to be rigorous and not leak any information. The German army is not blind. The Soviet army on the other side of the front is carrying out large-scale military mobilization. Model may not be able to see it.
Can't hear it?
Keeping it secret should be kept as secret as possible. It is best for the German army not to know that the Soviet army has developed some new weapons.
Just like when the war just broke out, the German army didn't know that the Soviet army had already installed a large number of T3476 tanks.
However, only a small number of German troops have suffered heavy blows from RPG weapons. Although both the Soviet Union and Germany are now equipped with a large number of individual anti-tank rocket launchers and other weapons, individual soldiers can fire some weapons at a distance of one hundred meters.
At the beginning, the individual rockets of both sides were deliberately equipped with armor-piercing warheads that could deal heavy blows to the other side's tanks. With the adjustment of armor materials and the installation of fence armor, the important blow to tanks returned to anti-tank guns.
RPG warheads with low charges are gradually being used as weapons against infantry.
However, the Catfish rocket launcher began to be officially installed in the troops! Starting from October 1942, it was no longer a mysterious treasure that was figured out in the battlefield arsenal. It was bound to become the darling of the equipment troops. The first to receive its large-scale reinforcements was
Three integrated infantry divisions composed of Balzen and three others.
Yang Mingzhi received this series of good news. Further news was that the first batch of assault rifles to be inspected were approved by the army. They were then moved to the dusty train for unloading in Ocher, a small town in the western part of Perm Region, and then
Trucks haul supplies to the infantry division barracks in the woods.
So when the time entered November, Balzen's 324th Division had already been training with assault rifles for a long time.
How do they use the new guns after they get them? It's very simple. When ordinary soldiers see this beautiful gun, they subconsciously think that it is the latest submachine gun developed by their superiors. Looking at its majestic appearance, it must be stronger than Bobosha.
As a result, the soldiers took it to the shooting range for training, and everyone discovered the problem.
It is not a submachine gun at all. The words "raid" and "rifle" marked on the document, as well as the physical sense of the soldiers on the shooting range, all indicate that it is actually a rifle. There are also some instructions for use with the gun, which are actually just a few printed sheets.
Simple paper. There are single lines on the paper showing the shape of the firearms used by soldiers. Without using too many words to describe it, it just uses some pictures to describe the various legal shooting postures of soldiers.
Whether Balzen is an old guy who has killed countless enemies through life and death, he has a new gun in his hand, or is it a new gun derived from his old boss, it is not difficult at all to learn to use it.
Those grassroots soldiers have been training with the bolt-action Mosin Nagant for a long time, and some operators are training with the SVT40. With the new gun in hand, they quickly realized that this gun is quite suitable for use as a semi-automatic rifle.
Even if it has a magical mechanism, it can always be used as a semi-automatic rifle that is better than the SVT40. In an emergency, it can be loaded with a terrifying 75 rounds of "huge" bullets, and it will become a machine gun that can be held in your hand.
The elites are all monsters fed by bullets. With the arrival of large numbers of "Catfish" rocket launchers, Balzen and the other three ordered their subordinates to conduct live-fire training. They were still a complete replica of the "anti-tank team" in the swamp, with three people
The group is integrated into an infantry squad, forming a group of ten special forces dedicated to fighting tanks and other solid targets.
The time is too short, and it is unrealistic to expect them to be trained into troops that can carry equipment and carry out long-distance attacks.
What the three old guys tacitly knew was that they had learned from Yang Mingzhi that the next target of attack was Smolensk. There was no doubt that this would be a fierce battle, and the troops would probably be used as city defenders to fight in street battles.
Street fighting? Based on past experience, Balzen was forcibly trained from a field force to a street fighting expert. Although he didn't want to be like this, he was well aware of the cruelty of street fighting. But think about it, except for himself and the two brothers who had these cruel memories
, let other troops go, that is really to die.
General Berekov will definitely visit Ocher in November and will personally guide the work and inspect the troops' use of new weapons.
Balzen deeply felt that when the general left, he would also follow the army to the battlefield.
A unit must train for at least three months and then become a strong force with the support of excellent equipment. Is the 324th Division qualified? It is not qualified at all.
Barely two months of training is already overdue compared to the same period last year!
The launch of the battle must be at the end of November. The thought of returning to the battlefield made Balzen really excited and a little disgusted. He didn't like war, not at all.
But to be able to win the honor of "Liberator of Smolensk", I, an ordinary person, have to fight hard for it.
The general is coming soon to intensify the training of those young soldiers, at least to make the general who is coming feel that he is doing better than the other two guys.
It is best to get the general's affirmation that these soldiers are worthy of the legendary general's trust.
