Chapter 648

Facts have proved that sometimes new weapons are the magic weapon to change the mode of war, and sometimes relying too much on new weapons is completely creating trouble for the troops on the front line. You should know that opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting, and it is impossible to go on step by step according to one party's expectation.

In history, the German armored forces missed the best opportunity to attack Kursk in order to wait for their own tiger and leopard tanks. It was because they were too superstitious in weapon performance and ignored other winning factors. In fact, when there is no generation gap in weapons, it is the person who uses them, not the weapons themselves, that decides the outcome.

However, all the historical facts have proved a somewhat helpless truth, that is, those who are in a disadvantageous position on the battlefield or in the situation are often more willing to try the development and application of new weapons. This is a brave attempt by the weak side to change its unfavorable situation, and also one of the few means by which they can turn defeat into victory.

It is a pity that this kind of attempt sometimes works and sometimes fails. This also illustrates a sad fact to everyone from the strategic level: not all efforts will be rewarded.

After the first World War, the Germans were forced to take the lead in this kind of weak attempt. At a disadvantage, they used tanks and mechanized forces to cooperate with the superior air force, condensed the rudiment of air ground integrated warfare, gave full play to the assault advantage of armored forces, and swept the whole Europe with immature Blitzkrieg.

However, they were full of sadness in their later attempts. In World War II, many technologies could not achieve qualitative change, so a lot of efforts in science and technology could not suppress the huge number of advantages, which led to the final sad result of the German Army: a lot of doomsday technologies came into being, but could not save the fate of the Empire.

Now, the Germans have gained absolute superiority in most battlefields, and the inferior side has become Britain in exile in Iceland and the Soviet Union in the East. The Germans can develop their own weapon system on the basis of mature technology, while the British have to rely on the so-called "doomsday technology" to save their decadent situation.

Now Zhukov is also struggling with this very uncomfortable situation. Stalin is waiting for the Stalin tank ordered by Stalin. This is not a tongue twister, but it really makes Zhukov want to cry. This Stalin tank may be the highest achievement of the Soviet Union in technology, but it has little advantage over the more advanced German Tiger tank in terms of production time.

However, Stalin's obstinate decision to allow the Soviet Red Army to carry out an all-round counterattack only after advanced weapons have been put into service on a large scale is absolutely a great torture for Zhukov, who can only sit and wait while watching the growing German army. He did not know what use these Stalin tanks, which were not much better than German tanks, could play in the war, but he had to abide by the leader's decision and wait for the equipment and winter to come.

Stalin learned a certain lesson from the previous wars, and he also learned from akkado, deliberately avoiding to dictate the decisions of the front-line generals. However, Stalin could not help but disobey his own decisions because of his long-term words among the generals. He would express his views on some issues and would not allow other hostages to doubt about Stalin's tanks. That's all.

Fortunately, Stalin gave Zhukov unprecedented arbitrary power on the front line, which was the first time that Stalin delegated this power to a real military general. Before that, he trusted Khrushchev, a party and government talent, rather than Zhukov, a senior general. After all, in the process of the great clean-up, there were too many people in the Soviet military who made Stalin gnash his teeth. The influence of the execution of Tukhachevsky has not been completely eliminated, which left Stalin a very painful experience. This is the main reason why he was more willing to trust political workers.

However, Khrushchev's betrayal, as well as the status quo of the crimson Peninsula, made Stalin have to reflect on his employment policy. In his personal view, since the loyalty of political workers such as Khrushchev is not higher than that of military generals such as Tukhachevsky, why use non military men to lead the army?

Stalin, who had figured this out, handed over the power of full disposal to Zhukov, which was a treatment that other Soviet generals, including timoshinger, did not have. So by using his power, Zhukov, like all the generals on the front line of the country, disobeyed the intervention of the rear leaders on the front line as much as possible according to the situation.

Zhukov ordered local exploratory operations, often using a battalion or even a company to attack the German positions, consuming the German forces little by little. He used it to hone his troops, so that when the winter offensive began, he could have more elite Red Army soldiers for the first World War.

Moreover, he now has more than a dozen Stalin tanks in his hands, as well as the drivers who Stalin himself prepared for these tanks, the puppet demons who graduated from wolf Knight Academy. Zhukov has seen them in person. He thinks that these people are part of the tank, and having these people is the greatest hope for the Soviet Union to win.

"You haven't met those soldiers. It's not appropriate to say that these people are soldiers. They are parts, part of weapons." Zhukov raised his telescope to look at the smoke column rising in the distance, and said to his assistant: "they have no feelings and can kill anyone without hesitation. The person who cultivates this kind of monster must be a monster. If possible, I don't want to use this kind of inhuman" weapon ". I firmly believe that the Soviet Union will win, But I also firmly believe that war should not be won by this means. "

"Those soldiers with wolf heads embroidered on their necklines are really so terrible?" Some aides did not understand why the Soviet front-line commander in charge of millions of troops was so afraid of just a hundred and ten soldiers. In his heart, he had never seen a soldier worthy of such attention. In the hearsay news, it was said that some mysterious German special forces soldiers were very powerful, but Zhukov was still not so secretive. Just as the two of them were talking, just a few kilometers away from where they were looking, a battle had just ended. The whole village seemed to be burning. It changed hands three times in a short period of 20 days. It was an important defensive area repeatedly contested by the German army and the Soviet army. Here, two German soldiers, apparently only 20 years old, were kneeling on the ground. They were holding their heads in their hands, and their helmets were thrown aside. Both of them were shivering. They were so frightened by the scene that they didn't know what to say. Both of them were reinforcements assigned to the front line only yesterday. Today is their first battle. The veterans who were responsible for taking them through the battle were lying on the ground not far away, looking at the sky with unwilling eyes. They had not been angry for a long time. His chest was full of bullet holes and he didn't breathe the moment he was hit. Opposite the two German soldiers who surrendered, there was a new Stalin tank. The turret of the tank was painted with black pentagram, which was a little different from what was written in the German combat manual. Of course, this tank is the culprit who killed the German garrison nearby. Now the tank is so quiet, and the captain is facing the two German prisoners in front of him with a terrible face. The fight just now was so cruel that it was suffocating. This terrible man with a scar on his face jumped out of his tank and killed several experienced German veterans with a submachine gun, completely destroying the German defense system in this village. These two young German soldiers were frightened by his cruel means of killing, That's why we gave up our resistance and raised our hands to surrender“ I don't want to know much. You can pick up the important things and say it. Then I decide who to kill and who to let go... Understand? " Scar face that unique some hoarse voice sounded, just like the demons in hell“ There's an oil depot four kilometers back here! " A young man cried out a little secret he found out by accident. He missed the hot broth made by his mother and the flat lawn at home. In order to continue to live, he would rather sell any information he knew. Perhaps at this moment, he forgot that he had put his palm on the scarlet flag and swore, that he had held his right hand high and followed countless people to shout the congratulation of long live the head of state, that he had carried a rifle on his back and walked in the fields of Poland, cheering for the expansion of the motherland to several times its original size. Another German soldier was obviously not as gossipy as he was, but he shook his head and said, "I don't know! I really don't know anything useful, as God as my witness, I really don't know anything. " The soldier who said the location of the oil depot was obviously relieved. He was glad that he was finally able to live, because the comrade in arms obviously didn't have as much gossip as he knew. He even wants to smile and pat the unfortunate guy on the shoulder to comfort him that he should observe more things around him next time, but his brain can only think of this“ Bang At the sound of a gunshot, the fierce scar face took out his pistol and smashed a head without a pause. Unfortunately, this head happened to be the young German soldier who told the oil depot information“ I'm sorry, your mouth is too loose. I hate interrogating prisoners like you. It's not challenging at all. " Scar face muttered, turning his cold eyes to the young German soldier who said he didn't know anything: "you're pretty good. If it wasn't for the lack of materials, I would like to light you a cigarette."
