Chapter 713 T-34 Mass Production

Hearing this, Ke Jing was quite dissatisfied.

In his eyes, T-34 does not need to be produced at all, as long as his KV-1 tank is enough! However, since the last time that dead ghost Koshkin drove the tank and ran to Moscow in person, Stalin and others have been impressed by the T-34 tank.

After that, this tank became a key project of the Soviets, and Ketin could only rely on his own power to constantly suppress the other side, so that the other side has not completed the mass production work until now.

If the KV-1 tank has made a huge contribution in this war with Finland, it is conceivable that there will be no T-34, but who would have thought that the Germans actually intervened and do not know the use of the other side What a powerful weapon, it actually beat the KV-1 tank of your own to the crap!

That is more than 100 mm thick armor! How did the Germans do it?

Now, if you want to win, you can only rely on quantity. If it depends on quantity, then KV-1 can only stand on the sidelines, and only T-34 will definitely become the mainstream!

No, of course not!

"Comrade Malyshev, the T-34 tanks have not been mass-produced yet. They still have a lot of work to do, and they simply can't keep up with our war." Of course, Kotin would strongly object.

Unexpectedly, Maleshev did not evade, he continued: "The Kharkov factory has made all the preparations. As long as the raw materials are in place, the Kharkov factory alone will be able to produce production within a month. A thousand T-34 tanks are coming! The subsequent expansion of production capacity can double to two thousand vehicles. If we want to win by quantity, the T-34 tank is the most suitable choice."

"So, Comrade Kotin, do you have any other plans? How much is the production of KV-1 a month?"

Kejing stopped talking. In terms of output, of course, the production process of T-34 is too simple!

"Okay, let's put the T-34 into production immediately, Ketin, this is our top priority at present, we must do our best to ensure the production of the Kharkov factory!" Stalin said: "We want to defeat Finland!"

Stalin has made a decision. He knows that Kejing has been obstructing. He knows the activities of these subordinates. Now, it is to warn Kejing. Now, the center of gravity of the country is the T-34, and there must be no stumbling. !

"Yes." Ke Jing could only agree.

Stalin still did not relax much. The production of tanks and the equipment of troops all take time. It seems that the Finns can only be arrogant for a while, and wait until a large number of T-34 tanks go up and let the Finns know that the Soviets can Not to be bullied!

Malyshev is also relieved. After his struggle, finally, tank manufacturing has to return to the right track, and it is the most correct choice to give priority to the production of T-34.

At the same time, this is also an explanation for Koshkin!

Last time, in order to show the leader the excellent performance of the T-34 tank, Koshkin drove the tank to Moscow in the cold weather, braved the wind and snow, and drove it back.

After that, he contracted a cold, severe pneumonia, and Koshkin passed away.

This is a great loss for the Soviets!

Koshkin left, his tank project must not be aborted! Even after a major purge, there are still people of integrity.

Kharkov factory.

"The superior's order has come down, asking our factory to produce T-34 tanks immediately!" After receiving the telegram, the head of the factory, Morozov, shouted loudly.

After Koshkin left, Koshkin's assistant, Morozov, took over his job and continued to lead the design and production of the T-34 tank. Unfortunately, the official documents from the superiors have not come down.

This is not like Nizhny Tagil, the Ural Mountains are nearby, there are sufficient ore, it is simply an assembly line, producing steel, making tanks, and they all come out.

All the raw materials needed here need to be transported by railway. Without the input of steel, they can't make anything at all.

Now, the official order is down, full production T-34!

The whole factory was boiling in an instant, and they had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Almost at the same time as the documents arrived, the smoking train entered the platform of the factory, and the raw materials needed for production had already been delivered!

start!

The entire factory has entered a high-intensity working state, melting steel, casting turrets, cold-rolling steel plates, and welding car bodies. They have already remodeled the production line in advance, and now, they are waiting for official production!

This is simply a miracle. When the Soviets attacked Finland, they had to wait for the weapons produced in the rear!

The war between the Soviet Union and Finland fell into a brief pause, while on another battlefield, in hot North Africa, a major march was in full swing.

This attack is simply against common sense.

Just after landing, the advance troop of the German Afrika Corps, only the 66th Tank Battalion, charged at the forefront!

The tracks of the tanks were rolling over the Libyan land, and the sand was rolling. With unstoppable momentum, they killed the sudden appearance of the British Legion, and then continued to advance towards Tobrugg.

There is an important port in Libya. Before it was occupied by the British army, part of the oil was exported from Tobruk.

Just a tank battalion!

Of course, behind them, there is the Italian army, but unfortunately, the Italian army is too slow, and has always been a few kilometers behind the German army, walking slowly and leisurely.

"Crush, rush!" Karl Maos stood on his tank, showing half of his body, facing the yellow sand, and he was in a good mood at this time.

dash forward!

The engine of the tank was smoking black smoke, and after passing the engine with the enlarged radiator, there was no overheating situation. In this way, when it was almost dark, they rushed to Tubrugg!

Now, it is unknown here, and in the history of later generations, the battle that broke out here is a very important battle in the entire North African campaign! Once Rommel got here, he could continue to advance towards Egypt, while the British army held on to this place and created conditions for the counter-offensive.

From Benghazi to the east, Tobruk is the only deep-water port available. Without it, the 1,500 tons of water and supplies that Rommel's department needed every day would have to be transported by truck across the desert from Benghazi and beyond, from Lipoli.

Just one item of logistical supplies is enough to illustrate the importance here.

Historically, the British deployed heavy troops here.

Now, unlike history, the British have suffered heavy losses, and there are not many British troops in North Africa. Will the sudden attack by Germany bring miraculous effects and gnaw the hard bones that Rommel has gnawed for more than seven months in one fell swoop?

There is desolate land everywhere. To the west of Tobrugg, there is a low soil slope with scattered weeds, which grow bleakly here.
