Chapter 1035 Ordinary Warrior (Plus 1)
Yakov, just an ordinary Soviet fighter, like thousands of Soviet fighters, this is a great leader's evaluation of his son.
From the perspective of later generations, the Soviet regime is centralized, the cult of personality is too high, absolute power creates absolute corruption, and the life-long leadership system gives birth to a privileged class.
However, at least one of the Soviets is good. Compared with the three fat ones, the Soviets are not passed down from father to son. The descendants of every leader have at least not become new leaders.
The same is true for the descendants of Stalin. Stalin did not train his sons according to the standards of leaders, because he knew very well how terrible the power of the Soviets was, and it was impossible to grasp these powers without steel hands.
Stalin had to set an example for the people of the country. Officially, Stalin was an absolutely good leader.
And for Yakov, the party involved, he didn't feel anything wrong.
In his childhood, he had no parents, but Yakov did not have any psychological problems because of this. He was optimistic, sunny, and upward. When he came to Moscow, he learned Russian with difficulty. He obeyed his father's arrangement, He entered the Artillery Academy to study, and when he was in the Artillery Academy, he met his lover, got married, and had a lovely child. He was very satisfied with his life.
Now, when the order is given to send his troops to fight in Iran, he has no resistance whatsoever.
Gaz trucks are moving along the coast of the Caspian Sea. The entire 14th Tank Division has been transferred from the station to Iran. Now, they are heading to their positions.
On the back of the truck, the M1938 152mm gun is towed. The thick and powerful tires and the exaggerated muzzle are all showing the powerful combat capability of this gun.
As artillerymen, they could be at the rear of the entire army, simultaneously projecting their shells on the heads of enemies in front of the position.
This is also the reason why Stalin Yakov was an artilleryman. Generally speaking, artillerymen are quite safe because they do not need to go to the front line at all.
Yakov was sitting in a GAZ61 off-road vehicle, which was the command vehicle of their regiment. Next to him was the regiment commander, Major Ivan Sapekin, who was also his good friend. The two came from the Artillery Academy together. The graduates were just because Ivan was already a captain of the artillery before he entered the Artillery Academy, so after finishing his studies, he was promoted to a major.
Now, the two are chatting about the situation on the front line.
"Qazvin City has become a city like a meat grinder. Even if our tank troops clear the way in front and infantrymen follow, they will suffer heavy casualties. This is also the reason why our superiors sent us over." Ivan Smoking a cigarette, he said to Yakov.
The battle of Qazvin has been going on for several days. Every attack of our own troops will be accompanied by huge casualties. What was originally an inconspicuous town has now become the main battlefield that determines the entire war in Iran. It smells like a joke.
"Let the enemies of Qazvin tremble. When we arrive, use our cannons to blow up the entire Qazvin to rubble, and see how the enemies inside resist!"
The Soviet tradition is artillery, and now Lieutenant Yakov is quite confident in his howitzer.
"Yeah, our artillery regiment must show our prestige this time."
The coast of the Caspian Sea is relatively flat, and after more than 50 kilometers deep into the land, it is a mountainous area.
The entire tank division is advancing in accordance with the long-distance marching queue. The front is the tank unit. The T-34 tanks are carrying infantry and are advancing with the tanks. The artillery used for fire support, of course. It's at the back of the army.
Soon, the tank troops in front entered the mountains. With the painful lesson of the last time the cavalry division was ambushed in the mountains and was completely wiped out, the Soviet army was very careful in advancing. They had already arranged sentries on the top of the mountain in advance. Monitor the bare barren hills to make sure there are no ambushes.
Tank engines, rumbling, on a heavy KV tank, the commander of the division, Colonel Varisyev, has a firm look.
He had been excited since his unit had been converted into a tank division, and, to his delight, Comrade Yakov had also been placed in his division.
Therefore, although there is nothing on the bright side, the 14th Tank Division has received care from all aspects, and various equipment is given priority to them, heavy KV tanks, medium T-34 tanks, with the equipment of the tank division. Continuous improvement, Colonel Varisyev is also very happy.
At the same time, he also knows that he bears a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
The son of the great leader, Comrade Stalin, is in his tank division. This is the top secret that only a few people in the division know, and his troops, no matter how many victories they win, need to protect the safety of Comrade Yakov. This relationship Promote your future position!
Thinking of this, he shouted to the radio soldiers in front: "Tell Comrade Gorokhov, the political commissar, to pay attention to protect the safety of our artillery!"
The tank divisions are not all tank units, they still have motorized infantry, and the political commissar Gorokhov is with the motorized infantry. Varisiev can't go into too much detail, he only hopes that Gorokhov able to understand their own meaning.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky in the distance. When he heard this sound, Varisiev's face suddenly changed, no, the German plane!
"Quick, pay attention to air defense, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft guns ready!"
Up to now, the Soviet tank units have still not done a good job in cooperating with the air force.
For example, their troops are equipped with a certain proportion of anti-aircraft guns, which can not only be used to fight planes, but if there is an ambush by the enemy on the hillside, the anti-aircraft guns have an absolute advantage in the shooting angle, and the hillside is absolutely within reach, and Small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery is fired in bursts, and it is sour when it hits.
Now, when the air raid alarm came, the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery accompanied by the tank troops immediately turned into a combat state. Air defense, the Soviet tank troops can handle it themselves!
The famous zsu37 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has not yet appeared, and now it is accompanied by the Soviet tank unit, which is transformed from the original T-26 tank chassis, and an open 37mm anti-aircraft gun is added on it, even if it is completed.
