Chapter 3065 "The More You Do, the More Mistakes You Make; the Less You Do, the Fewer Mistakes You Make; and if You Do Nothing, You're Not Wrong"
When the bombardment ended, the TOS-1A rocket assault tanks, which were already at the front starting position, immediately began to move.
According to Kulbarov's earlier idea when formulating the tactical plan, after the first round of continuous fierce attacks, the front line was pushed to the second position of the Japanese army.
Whether it is the main attack force in the middle or the coordinated attack forces from the left and right sides, they will face an inevitable problem.
Ammunition shortage, especially heavy firepower ammunition shortage.
The heavy synthetic cluster of the leader army is indeed powerful in assault energy and fierce in combat, but its poor sustained combat capability has always been an objective problem.
Needless to say, the heavy tank troops carrying 122 heirlooms and 130 giant cannons have a low ammunition load at the cost of great power. The scene of the Germans stuffing 80, 90 or even more than 100 shells into the Tiger will never appear in the Red Army's heavy tanks.
Although the defense strength of the Japanese position is not high, they can't stand these devils who are not afraid of death and keep rushing to the tanks.
The ammunition consumed by the leader's army in conquering the Japanese positions under this battlefield condition was no less than the ammunition consumed in conquering the German positions of the same size.
It would be fine if they only conquered one position, but they had to attack the second position immediately after conquering the next one.
It was impossible to wait for the ammunition supply vehicle to deliver the shells and for the tank crew to get off the vehicle to replenish the ammunition in terms of combat needs, and there was no time to waste.
On the other hand, the situation of the infantry was not so bad.
Although the ammunition consumption of all-automatic and semi-automatic weapons was also huge, the mechanized infantry, who could quickly get the replenishment from the infantry fighting vehicle when the ammunition they carried was exhausted, had the ability to quickly replenish ammunition on the battlefield, and their ability to fight a protracted war was far superior to that of the tank troops.
The tank troops, which did not have the ability to quickly replenish ammunition on the battlefield, became the only shortcoming of the attacking troops at this time.
Insufficient tank ammunition meant insufficient direct-aiming heavy firepower support, and the lack of heavy firepower had to be compensated by the blood and lives of the infantry at the front.
This situation might be allowed in other Red Army units, but as long as Malashenko remains in the position of army commander, this situation is absolutely unacceptable and intolerable.
Therefore, the final solution given by Kurbalov is to send a highly mobile reinforcement force with heavier firepower than heavy tanks to support the central attack unit and supplement the direct-aiming heavy firepower support with insufficient ammunition.
In line with this tactical positioning, there is almost no more suitable heavy equipment except TOS-1A that has both super-strong direct-aiming heavy firepower and high mobility.
These heavy special operations vehicles modified from the IS6 heavy tank chassis have the same level of rapid mobility on the battlefield as the Red Army heavy tank units.
As for firepower, there is no need to say more. How can the widely circulated nickname of "Nazi Evaporator" be called for nothing?
It's just that what is evaporated now is not the Nazis, but the Japanese devils who have committed many evil deeds.
It's the same situation when the German army first encountered the first generation of TOS-1 on the battlefield.
The Japanese commander held a telescope in his hand and saw the group of reinforcements rushing up quickly from a distance. They were even bigger than IS6 heavy tanks, but they were not equipped with tank turrets but carried a huge square box-shaped steel monster.
The poor knowledge of armored warfare made it impossible for the Japanese army to understand what such a strange-looking heavy armored combat vehicle was used for.
It looked neither like a tank nor a self-propelled artillery. It didn't even have a gun barrel. The Japanese lieutenant general who was holding the telescope and looking at it more and more puzzled was full of questions.
"What the hell did the Russians drive up? Is there any information about such enemy vehicles in our intelligence?"
After being asked by the division commander, he was glared at by the chief of staff next to the division commander.
The major staff officer standing by the side took action quickly, ran to the table and picked up the equipment identification manual. After flipping through it, he found nothing.
"Report to the division commander! No, no, there is no information about this vehicle in the enemy equipment identification manual!"
"Baga! What on earth are those idiots in the intelligence? Why can't they even get information about the main battle tanks that the Russians have equipped in large quantities?!"
It's funny to say that the Japanese army is now in a situation where they stare at the TOS-1A with their eyes wide open and know nothing about it. It is actually caused by the Japanese's own stupid behavior.
The Kwantung Army originally had the opportunity to receive relevant intelligence information about TOS-1A in advance, and the method was very simple.
The Japanese military attaché to the Soviet Union who went to Moscow to observe the Red Square parade only needed to write down the relevant information he saw and send it back to his country, and then the Japanese military department would organize it and send it to the lower-level combat units for study and understanding.
But the problem lies in the link where the relevant information is sent back to the country and then the Japanese military department will hand it over to the lower-level combat units.
After learning about this, the idiot-minded Private Tojo arrogantly thought that describing the Russians as too powerful would affect the morale of the army.
If the news and detailed information about the Russians showing such a powerful armored group were rashly distributed and passed on, it would probably lead to some bad derivative events.
Those idiots who have become experts in "overthrowing their superiors" are not sure what they will do to try to prove how stupid they are, which will inevitably be disadvantageous to the war that is expected to happen.
But it is not okay to pass on false intelligence that describes the Russians as too weak and too stupid and pass it on to the lower-level combat units.
It may cause them to underestimate the enemy and become too proud and complacent, which will cause them to suffer even more losses once the war breaks out.
Then what should we do if the true information is not true or false?
It is simple, just don't pass it on and pretend that nothing happened.
After all, "the more you do, the more mistakes you make, the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make, and the less you do, the better." This will neither shake the morale of the army nor cause the lower-level units to underestimate the enemy and become complacent. Isn't this "just don't pass it on" method beautiful?
Soldier First Class Tojo slapped his thigh and decided to do so.
This led to the Red Army's military parade on Red Square in Moscow, showing unprecedentedly powerful military force. Such a high-profile event was passed on to the lower level, but the Kwantung Army didn't know any details at all.
It was only known that the Russians held two military parades in Moscow and Berlin, but no details or further instructions were received from the Tokyo headquarters.
The bandit leaders of the Kwantung Army thought that the Russian military parade was just like that, and the headquarters didn't even mention it, so naturally they didn't take it to heart.
However, they didn't expect that it was this bizarre performance art that caused the Kwantung Army to miss the last opportunity to roughly understand the Red Army's new equipment before the war.
This situation was transferred to the battlefield, and the Kwantung Army was crushed by the huge number of IS7 heavy tanks, like a mud truck.
Now that the IS7 performance is over, it's the turn of TOS-1A to show its power.
In the fierce roar of rockets, countless flames rose from the ground, like a volcanic eruption, and the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield watched the extremely terrible destructive rain of fire from the sky.
The second update will be later, brothers. There were guests at home on Friday, which delayed me for a while, and I continued to code overtime.
