  Chapter 880 Tank

  Zhukov nodded: "And this front army has not yet let the enemy know, so that the enemy may be less prepared, and we will have more counterattack forces!"

   "Yes!" Shulka said: "So I suggest that we form this front army in the name of the logistics force, and not even form..."

   "Wait, what do you mean by not forming?" Vatutin was a little confused: "You said just now that we are going to form this front army!"

   Rokossovsky understood: "Of course we want to form, but at the same time we don't form, a good idea!"

Then Rokossovsky explained to Vatutin: "If we form it, it will be difficult to hide it from the Germans. After all, it is a front army! So we can disperse them to various logistics units for training. This is very It is easy to deceive the Germans, because we need a large number of troops and personnel to build fortifications, and it is our habit to train the logistics personnel, so the Germans will not regard them as regular troops!"

  Vatutin suddenly realized: "That is to say, we only form this front army on paper to make preparations. Once the war starts, these logistics personnel will immediately gather to become a powerful front army?"

"Yes, even these troops do not know that they have been incorporated into the front army and become our reserve team, and of course the Germans will not know!" Rokossovsky smiled at Shulka: "You are putting The troops are hiding under the noses of the Germans, which will surely catch them by surprise!"

   "This suggestion is very good!" Zhukov concluded: "I will report to Comrade Stalin immediately after the meeting, requesting to form an additional front army as a reserve team to ensure the victory of the battle!"

"Don't you take a look at the defense of the Kursk region, Comrade Shulka?" Rokossovsky said, nodding his head towards the map: "Comrade Vatutin and I will each defend half. If the Voronezh Front Army, then you and your subordinates are likely to be part of it!"

   What Rokossovsky meant was that even if Shulka didn't care about his Central Front Army, he should also care about his 82nd Infantry Regiment.

   Shulka just spread his hands and replied: "I think you will discuss it, don't you? I just need to obey the order!"

   "Fuck you, Shulka!" Zhukov scolded: "If that's the case, then did I ask you to drink?"

   As he spoke, he raised his head towards the Kursk area and said, "Look, we were still having a headache for the defense of this area just now!"

  Actually, Shulka was just joking. This battle is of great importance. It can be said to be a turning point in the Soviet-German war... Although the Germans did fail in history, who can guarantee that it will be the same as in history? !

"The main difficulty in defense is anti-tank!" Zhukov explained, pointing to the map: "Because it is conceivable that the enemy will invest a large number of armored troops in Kursk to break through quickly! In addition, we have also received information that they are likely to invest A new type of tank!"

   "Tank '6'?" Vatutin asked.

"No, not 'Number Six'!" Zhukov shook his head: "Of course, they will also invest in 'Number Six', but the information we got is that they have successfully developed another new tank, mainly for our army's T34 tank , but that's all we know!"

   Shulka knew what it was. It was the Panther tank No. 5, and it was put into combat for the first time in Kursk.

   "Then, we should also have more advanced tanks!" Vatutin looked horrified.

   "Our scientists are already working hard, but there is no progress!" Zhukov replied: "I will let them speed up!"

   "We don't seem to need to hurry up!" Shulka said.

   "What?" Zhukov didn't understand what Shulka meant.

"I'm talking about the research and development of new equipment!" Shulka said: "Although the enemy may invest new equipment in Kursk, which means that we are likely to be at a disadvantage in terms of equipment, but... I think it is too late for these equipment. It is the same now that it has been developed!"

   Rokossovsky nodded in agreement: "It's like the German'Panchase Six' tank!"

"Yes, just like the Panzer Six!" Shulka replied: "New tanks often have flaws of one kind or another that limit their effectiveness in combat, as was the case with the German Panzer Six , it looks very powerful but it can play a very limited role. But we have a mature tank... T34, what we have to do is to increase its production, and then put them on the battlefield as much as possible, so that We will have an absolute superiority over the enemy in numbers! And the superiority in numbers and the low failure rate can fully make up for the lack of performance, so that in general, we will not be weaker than the Germans in armored forces, and even better than the Germans. They are strong!"

   These words made Zhukov and the others nod repeatedly.

   This is actually not difficult to understand. As the saying goes, "Two fists are hard to beat with four hands", especially for tanks.

  Because of the tank, it is impossible to do everything for itself. Even the "Tiger" can only achieve strong frontal armor, while the side armor and rear armor are thin.

In this case, if the Soviet army has several times more tanks than the German army, that is, it can be surrounded from all directions, then what it has to face is not the powerful frontal armor of the "Tiger"... There will always be some tanks that will face " Tiger's side and even rear armor.

   If you want to achieve "everything", it will become a "mouse style" that can't even be turned on.

  This is also the difference between the German army and the Soviet army in the strategic development direction of tanks during World War II... The German army always hopes to develop an advanced new tank to gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, but this is obviously unrealistic.

  The Soviet army is basically the T34. If there is development, it will be improved. Then develop in the direction of output and quantity.

Facts have proved that the development direction of the Germans is wrong. Their "Tiger" and "Leopard" are indeed advanced, and their performance is better than that of the T34 in all aspects, but what they have to face is the T34 that is rushing up like a tide .

In particular, the Soviet army did not have an advantage in air supremacy, so the number is even more important... If the number is large, even if it is placed there, it will not be able to be bombed by German bombers. , Once the Soviet pilots stare at and destroy a few, it will be a heavy loss.

   "No problem!" Zhukov nodded and said: "I will immediately organize the rear to build a few more production lines to produce T34 at full speed!"
