The method is to use models for training... The model of the rocket launcher is very simple to make. You only need to take a few logs of similar size and cut them into the same size as the rocket launcher, and then nail the handles, shoulder rests and the like. Even for soldiers,
We can all do it ourselves.
"What is this, Comrade Captain?" the veteran asked curiously during training: "I have 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 a hundred meters!"
"Did I hear you right? Destroy enemy tanks within 100 meters?" The actor looked at the model used by rocket launcher shooters for training and expressed doubts: "Is this a thing? I thought it was something similar to a mortar!"
"I thought you would use it as a pipe!" Pukarev's words made the soldiers laugh. The actor's addiction to smoking has long been no secret in the army.
The instructor came up and asked doubtfully: "Can it really destroy tanks?"
"Yes!" Shulka replied: "They are rushing to produce it, and it won't be long before we can use the real thing!"
"Very good!" The instructor couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "So, it seems we can 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 were not a problem with the tank operation, he could even go back!"
If anyone had a problem with the training of the Soviet army's new tactics, it was Stephen.
When Shulka and Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov announced changes to the training plan at the meeting, Colonel Stephen stood up angrily and said: "No, Lieutenant Colonel, I think this is unwise!"
"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 Germany.
We have fought against human armored forces, and they are not as easy to deal with as you think..."
"We have also fought against enemy armored forces!" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Stephen: "We never thought they were easy to deal with!"
"But you still fantasize 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 need to remind you that this is impossible. The enemy's tank guns and machine guns will instantly beat those rocket launcher shooters into a pulp before they can launch rockets! What's more, these rocket launchers may not work as you think.
effect!"
"So!" Shulka asked, "Colonel, do you think we have any other better ways?"
"Of course!" Stephen replied: "Build fortifications, lay mines and barbed wire, as well as anti-tank trenches and roadblocks..."
"Yes, we should defend!" Stephen replied: "The mobility and firepower of our tanks are not as good as those of the German tanks. You should realize this... Therefore, it is very disadvantageous to fight German armored forces in the wild.
We should try to avoid this!"
"So..." Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov asked: "What if we want to attack?"
"It's very simple!" Stephen replied: "The troops do this again every time they occupy a place. We used this method to successfully block the German attack in Africa!"
The British did indeed do this. They used a large number of mines and obstacles to block the front, followed by a defense line composed of infantry and tanks, and then artillery.
Even the British did successfully block the German attack in Africa... At this time, Rommel's Afrika Korps was blocked on the border between Libya and Egypt and was unable to advance.
However, Shulka knew that this was because the British army had an absolute advantage in strength and supplies, and there was also the natural danger of Halfa Pass... There was a cliff zone formed by weathered rocks in the Halfa Pass area, with only a few exits, including
It can be passed including Halfa Gate.
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". Soon Rommel's army will break through the Halfa Gate and march into Egypt.
At this time, Stephen used this "temporary" as a capital to show off, and even taught the Soviet army how to fight in a condescending manner.
"Believe me, Lieutenant Colonel!" Stephen said: "I know our tanks, and I have commanded them on the battlefield against the Germans! You have no relevant experience, that's why I am here, right? But you have given me advice
Ignore it..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Colonel!" Shulka said: "Maybe you are right, you know these tanks. But, you do not 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.
Only then was he questioned and even held responsible for this!”
"Of course, you can do that!" Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov said: "Don't worry, Colonel. I can guarantee that no one will hold you responsible. What's more, we will defeat those Germans!"
"Then let's wait and see!" After saying these words, Colonel Stephen walked out of the conference room with his head held high, as if leaving a group of ignorant clowns.
"Why does he behave like that?" Political Commissar Fuming said, "I mean, he walks like a goose!"
The officers roared with laughter.
Colonel Stephen actually suppressed 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. Let's send these equipment to
It's a waste to get here, they will send these precious resources to the enemy's guns for the Germans to destroy like practice shooting. I have never seen such an ignorant, stubborn, self-righteous group of people... So, let us wait
Well, they will come to me after being defeated by the Germans!"
