Shurka was actually heading for the T34 from the beginning... If you have such a good tank, don't scatter it to the front line to show off your bravery. The defense, firepower, and mobility are all good, and even put the German army into the "T34 crisis"
"Such panic.
However, the Soviet army only produced one at a time.
This does look like defense, and the T34 can indeed play some role somewhere on the front line, but these roles remain at the tactical level.
And there are inevitably several problems with doing this:
First of all, using the T34 for front-line defense is a waste of its mobility... Defense means driving the tank to a certain position and using it as a turret, and even KV2 can do this task.
Secondly, a small number of T34s cannot be coordinated with other tanks. This is not only a problem of radio communication, but also a problem of different speeds, armor protection and firepower.
The t34 can run at a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour, the t26 can run at 30 kilometers per hour, and the kv2 can only run at 26 kilometers per hour.
Putting them together... we can only wait for t34 for t26, and wait for t26 for kv2, so everyone can only run at a speed of 26 kilometers per hour, otherwise there will be no coordination.
T34 can fight "No. 3" and "No. 4" head-on, but t26 can't handle it, so it quickly becomes a small group of T34 against a group of "No. 3" and "No. 4".
Therefore, the correct approach should be to organize the T34 into a force, a force that can compete with the German armored divisions, and then make full use of the mobility of the railway and the tanks themselves to rush to wherever there is danger. Just like Zhukov's "
"Firefighting heroes" rush to wherever there is a fire.
"Good advice, Comrade Shulka, and Major Gavrilov!" Zhukov stood up, shook hands with the two of them, and then said: "A pleasant conversation, because of time constraints, let's stop here today.
!”
"Yes, Comrade General!"
Shulka and Gavrilov responded.
In fact, the two of them were still confused when they walked out of the headquarters.
"Do you think Comrade General agrees with your idea?" Major Gavrilov asked.
"Maybe!" Shulka said, "I don't know!"
Because Zhukov said nothing afterwards.
After a moment of silence, Major Gavrilov laughed: "I think what you said makes sense. This may be the only way to solve our passive defense state! I'm curious, Comrade Shulka, have you ever been to
How does the military academy know this?"
"Major!" Shulka joked: "If I went to military school, I might not know this!"
Major Gavrilov burst out laughing. He understood what Shulka meant... Military schools teach more about political consciousness and backward tactics. Under the influence and suppression of this ideological environment,
How can you have your own thoughts?
The car drove in the dark, and it took more than twenty minutes before it drove into the military camp.
Shulka was so sleepy that she took a nap in the car. After getting off the car, she groggily walked to her dormitory.
It turned out that there were still a few people in the dormitory who were awake and chatting quietly. When I got closer, I realized that it was a few people hiding under the covers playing cards under the light of a flashlight...
It seems a bit incredible that after a continuous tense battle, he relaxed and still had the energy to play cards.
But this is actually understandable: I don’t know which day I will die on the battlefield, so how can I be willing to sleep? Of course, I want to enjoy myself in time!
It's just that this is against discipline: flashlights are not allowed when martial law is enforced, unless it is under special circumstances, otherwise it may harm the entire army.
Playing cards is certainly not a special situation.
Therefore, as soon as they found out it was Shulka, they immediately turned off their flashlights and pretended to sleep, even snoring.
Shulka didn't bother to pay attention to them, walked directly to his bed and lay down.
"Comrade Company Commander!" The actor popped up and pretended to have just discovered it: "When did you come back?"
"Come back before you fall asleep!" Shulka said.
The actor couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then quickly let out a few flattering laughs: "Reporting to comrade company commander, I have been sleeping for a while!"
"Me too!"
"And I!"
…
"Forget this!" Shulka said: "Don't let others find out, I'm going to sleep and I don't know anything!"
"Yes, Comrade Company Commander!" Several people couldn't help but were so happy that they immediately started again.
Only then did Leonyev cry out: "My good hand of cards was just washed away..."
This caused others to boo.
Shulka turned away and ignored these guys.
At this time, the actor seemed to have remembered something and said: "Comrade Company Commander, there is something I think I need to report to you!"
"What?" Shulka was already a little impatient.
"Varatha, that reporter major!"
"Um!"
"She's here for another interview!"
"What does this have to do with anything?"
"She didn't see you and thought you were killed!" the actor said, "and then she was very anxious..."
"Yes!" Leonev continued: "I seem to see tears in her eyes!"
"No, I promise it's not rain!" the actor replied: "It wasn't until we told her that you were fine, you just had a new mission and you were not in the team, that she returned to normal!"
"I don't believe a word of it!" Shulka said: "If you don't want me to report you, just shut up!"
"Yes, Comrade Company Commander!" Several people responded in unison.
But after a while the actor stuck his head out again: "I promise, Comrade Company Commander..."
"Comrade Okunev!"
"Yes, Comrade Company Commander!"
Then there was no sound anymore.
Shulka didn't take these things to heart at all.
Although he believed that Valrasa did come to see him, it was just an interview.
These guys always like to make up some stories no matter what.
Drowsily, Shulka fell into sleep.
The dream was full of horrific fragments, and strange scenes were tightly entangled and intertwined.
Sometimes I see the enemy, sometimes I see my dead comrades; sometimes I am defeated and chased by the enemy, sometimes I see the cheers of victory; sometimes it is this era, sometimes it is modern times.
Then he saw Long Legs again. He raised his bloody hands that were broken at the wrist and said to Shulka: "Comrade company commander, give my letter to my mother... Please! Please!"
Shulka suddenly woke up from his dream. For a long time, he thought he was in bed, but then he realized that he had actually fallen on the cold ground.
Shulka's mind was in a mess. After thinking about it, he took out the letter from his pocket, which was rolled up and wrapped in a tarpaulin.
Send it? Shulka doesn't know if it can be sent. After all, this is war time.
So after thinking about it, Shulka put the letter back into his pocket.
