Chapter 712 Exploding Tank Sea
"Ketin, didn't you say that our KV-1 tank does not have any weapons that can penetrate him?" Stalin asked the tank designer on the side with a gloomy face.
At the beginning, Kejing patted his chest. As long as the KV-1 was dispatched, a shock would tear the Finns' defense line apart! But what about now?
Of course, there are various reasons for losing the battle, but Ke Jing can never escape his responsibility!
Ke Jing's face turned pale, and when the news of the tank's defeat came back, he was acutely aware of the problem, not good! Once Comrade Stalin gets angry, no matter how much he has contributed in the past, maybe he will be sent to prison!
How to do? How to do?
Ke Jing didn't know what to say, his mistake was a certainty.
"Comrade Stalin, our tanks are already tough enough. The main reason for this defeat is that the Finnish army has acquired advanced anti-tank weapons, even surpassing the level of all countries in this era." Voroshilov said.
Voroshilov wiped out Kejing's responsibility in a few words. Kejing couldn't help expressing his gratitude in his heart. It's still his old husband who is amazing!
Can't blame our army for being too incompetent, but blame the enemy army for being too strong!
Who knew that there were so many weapons in the Finnish army?
"Yes, originally, according to our intelligence observation, the weapons of the Finnish army are quite backward, but now, a large number of advanced weapons have appeared in the Finnish army." At this time, Khrushiao, who is good at seeing the wind The husband also came over: "A large number of legal fighter jets and legal tanks have appeared in Finland. These weapons have a special origin!"
Hearing this, Stalin frowned: "A weapon of the rule of law?"
France, has surrendered, and a large number of legal weapons, naturally needless to say!
"Yes, and we also found out that there is a volunteer army of people from other countries helping Finland fight."
"Are there any Germans in there?" Stalin asked.
"There are no Germans, and that's what makes it all the more suspicious."
Stalin nodded. Now, everything needs to be said. Behind the scenes, the Germans must be playing tricks!
On the surface, the Germans said that they would cede all Finland to the Soviet Union and reached an agreement to share the spoils. However, this time, unlike the Polish War, the two sides cooperated closely.
Germans are cunning! On the one hand, they reached an agreement with the Soviet Union, and on the other hand they supported Finland behind their backs!
"This matter must be investigated clearly. If it is found that the Germans are indeed behind the scenes, we will make the Germans pay the price!" Stalin said, clenching his hands into fists and slamming them heavily on the table.
Make the Germans pay! Stalin was extremely angry, but everyone present knew that the Soviets could not start a third war.
The battle in the Far East is not over yet. The islanders are unwilling to fail and will come back at any time. In Finland, the war was scheduled to end in a week.
At least, until the end of the Finnish war, it is impossible to provoke Germany!
Stalin soon figured out this matter. No matter what Germany did behind the scenes, what he needed most now was how to defeat Finland as soon as possible!
Get out of the Finnish battlefield! However, he had to withdraw as a winner!
"If there are Germans behind the Finnish battlefield, then we have to re-plan." Budyonny said aside.
Germany's armored power is quite advanced and its combat effectiveness is strong. Although Budyonny is a cavalry marshal, he has always been most proud of cavalry, and he also knows that tanks have a strong impact in this era.
What if a German-made tank appeared on the battlefield?
This time, our own KV-1 tank unit was destroyed, and it must be a weapon provided by the Germans!
"Keting, you say, how to solve it?" Stalin said to Ketin.
This is equivalent to giving Kejing a chance to make a guilt and meritorious service. Although the responsibility is put on the Germans, Kejing's KV-1 tank, when it was developed, was the German tank. The weapon is destroyed!
Ke Jing felt sweat on his forehead, how to solve it?
Continue to increase the armor thickness of the KV-1 tank? This will make the tank's dead weight even greater, which is already the limit now. On the front line, the mechanical failures of the KV-1 tank are endless, all because of the dead weight. If the weight continues to increase, the reliability will be even worse!
However, if he can't come up with a solution to the problem now, he may not be able to keep his position. Stalin doesn't need waste!
How to do? How to do?
His mind was thinking fast, and suddenly, thinking of his opponent, Koshkin's thoughts, he couldn't help but suddenly open up, as if a drowning man had grabbed the floating straw, he said: "Comrade Stalin, now, We need a sufficient number of tanks, after all, the other side has a limited number of anti-tank weapons, as long as we have enough, we can crush it!"
The quality is not enough, the quantity makes up! How many anti-tank guns does the opponent have? Not many can destroy the KV-1 tank! If the number of our own KV-1 tanks is increased several times, then they can rush up!
Don't be afraid of being destroyed, as long as the number is large, you can still attack. The tactics of the tank sea are the only way to solve the current problem!
"Ketin, what are you talking about?" Hearing this, Stalin couldn't help but retort: "Do you know how valuable a KV-1 tank is? How can these precious tanks be used as consumables?"
The use of high-quality alloy armor makes the cost of this tank rise again. Although the Soviets were a planned economy, the statistical data still gave Stalin a headache. This kind of tank is too expensive.
It's almost the same as equipment for elite troops, as consumables? This is too bad!
At this moment, Malyshev, who was in charge of tank development, finally spoke: "Comrade Stalin, I have a good idea. Our latest T-34 tank costs less than the KV-1 tank. One-third, we can mass-produce the T-34."
One of the basic prerequisites for the explosion of the tank sea is cheap. During World War II, why was the Soviet Union able to explode the tank sea? It is because the T-34 has low manufacturing cost, simplified process and convenient production. Although it is shoddy, in Soviet theory, it is enough.
How easy is it? For example, German tanks are equipped with turret gondolas. The personnel in the turret sit in the gondola, the turret rotates, and the whole gondola rotates, and the tank operator just needs to fire.
The Soviet tanks are not good, because they have nothing under them, and their feet are directly on the tank chassis. When the turret turns, the people inside the turret spread their feet and walk with the turret!
T-34, can be mass produced!
