Chapter 1368

Kirilov has always supported me unconditionally. It is said that I made this decision, so naturally I will not express any objection. Even bzikov, seeing that chisgakov was supportive of my opinion, pushed the boat forward and said, "since this decision was made by Comrade commander, I firmly support it."

Then, our topic turned to the equipment of the army. I asked bzikov: "chief of staff, during this period, we have accepted 10000 rifles, 2000 light machine guns and 100 mortars provided by our superiors. How did you allocate them?"

"Only about one-third of the supplies are in place now," bezikov said after taking out his Notepad from his satchel. "So I gave priority to major general tavartkilaze, the 23rd army of the close guard infantry."

"Why?" As soon as he had finished, chisgakov asked in a puzzled way.

Bezikov coughed, laughed a little embarrassed, and then said, "Comrade deputy commander, I think so. There are only three divisions in the 23rd army. It's easier to supplement, so we can give priority to supplement. When their replenishment is complete, they will replenish the 22nd army of general sivakov's close guard infantry. "

I laughed silently at the reason for the farfetched reason of beichav, and then said to Chi Sky Kopf, "Comrade deputy commander, since the supplies of the various units have been handed over to the chief of staff, he has the final say in the arrangement of the supplementary orders."

After I said these words to chisgakov, I turned my attention to bzikov again. "Chief of staff, what's the response of the army to the new assault rifles?"

"Don't you need to say that?" When bizikov heard my question, he immediately said excitedly, "used commanders and fighters all say that this kind of assault rifle has good shooting performance, is solid and durable, and has low failure rate. The range of the ruler is 800 meters, and the effective range is 400 meters, which is much better than that of the bobosha submachine gun. If the latter is more than 100 meters, there is almost no accuracy. "

"Is there no defect?" Asked chisgakov curiously, who had never used an assault rifle.

Don't zikov thought about it, and then replied: "yes, according to the reaction of some infantry comrades, the muzzle jump of the assault rifle is quite serious when it is fired repeatedly, which will have a certain impact on the shooting accuracy."

"Chief of staff, do you think that if all our troops are equipped with this kind of assault rifle, will it lead to the increase or decrease of combat effectiveness?" Chisgakov continued.

"This..." the question of chisgakov stopped bzikov. He was speechless for a long time.

"Comrade deputy commander, let me answer your question." I could not bear to see bzikov's embarrassed appearance, so I took the initiative to come out and help him out: "in fact, this kind of assault rifle began to equip a small number of troops in the Moscow defense war as early as 41 years ago. I had an assault rifle number 7 at that time. Unfortunately, when I broke through liuban, I was damaged by German artillery fire. "

"What, this kind of assault rifle was in 1941?" This time it was chisgakov's turn to be surprised. "How come I've never heard of it?"

I'm sure I won't tell them that the reason why this kind of light weapon appeared in 41 years is that a future engineer from a military factory said vaguely, "this is a new weapon developed by the technology and equipment department at that time. For the purpose of confidentiality, only a small part of it was produced to test the performance of the weapon."

After hearing this, chisjakov nodded thoughtfully: "so it is."

I remember that when my superior equipped me with assault rifles, chisjakov was one of my commanders. As for whether he had never seen a new type of assault rifles or completely forgot about it, I did not go deep into it. Instead, I went on to say, "after the actual combat test, the parties concerned think that this kind of weapon can improve the overall combat effectiveness of our army. So they increased production and began to equip a large number of guard divisions. Before the battle of Kursk, we had several divisions equipped with such assault rifles. "

"That's right," bzikov echoed after I finished saying, "the reason why the 51st and 52nd divisions of the guards can still hold fast in Yakovlev area under the fierce attack of the enemy is largely related to the equipment of this kind of weapon. In some key positional battles, assault rifles also play an important role. They are a kind of continuous firing weapon that is very suitable for close combat. "

Hearing what bzikov said, chisjakov couldn't help mentioning the question he had just asked: "if our army were all equipped with such assault rifles, would the combat effectiveness of the whole army go up to a higher level?"

Among you, only I know that this kind of assault rifle will be widely equipped in the future. In addition to the Soviet army, troops of more than 30 countries are also equipped with this kind of weapon, and even some countries have imitated or licensed it. There is a saying that more people were killed by AK47 assault rifles than by nuclear bombs.

"Comrade deputy commander, it is only a matter of time before all the troops are equipped with these assault rifles. I believe that with the completion of the change, the combat effectiveness of our army as a whole will go up to a higher level. " After I had said these words, I turned around and told bzikov: "chief of staff, you should urge these troops to carry out more adaptive training. Do not see soldiers holding new weapons in their hands, but because they are not familiar with guns, their combat effectiveness will decline. Do you understand? "

"I see, comrade commander." "I will go to all divisions at any time to check the use of new weapons, so as to ensure that all commanders and fighters can adapt to the use of new equipment as soon as possible," bezikov said to me With the repair of Smolensk Moscow highway, the higher authorities speeded up the transportation of materials to our group army. All the weapons and equipment that Zhukov promised us will be in place by December 20. But when I heard that bezikov reported to me that all the equipment supplied to the divisions were in place, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground. I told him: "chief of staff, at present, the work of the group army is mainly in two aspects: first, let the army strengthen the training of new recruits and new equipment; Second, let the divisions send reconnaissance teams to carry out reconnaissance in kalinkovich and moziri, and find out the enemy's forces and deployment. " When bzikov asked him to arrange a scout for kalinkovic and moziri, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Comrade commander, did you get any news when you gave such an order? Is the superior really going to let us attack these two cities?"“ Chief of staff, "I said to him without expression," I don't know anything. According to my own judgment, I think the next strategic target of the Belarusian front army should be kalinkovic and moziri. Well, you don't have to say any more, just pass on my order at once. "
