Chapter 1005

In the German factory, while working overtime for the front line to produce weapons and equipment, in Chelyabinsk, the hinterland of the Soviet Union, tired workers were also working overtime for their own national army. However, their working environment can't be compared with that of Germany. After all, their country is under attack, while the German army is fighting abroad.

If the weapons and equipment produced by Germany can reach the front line directly without transportation, then the Soviet Union may have lost this crucial war. Fortunately, their transportation environment and infrastructure saved the country. Since the war, it seems that the German army has stopped attacking because of resources and transportation for more time than the Soviet army.

Sometimes, the vast territory and abundant resources are also an advantage that Germany, a regional power, can never envy. The Soviet Union is still self-sufficient in steel and oil. Although the Baku oil field has been cut off, the reserve of fuel still allows the Soviet people to make their own tanks with confidence.

Only the Soviet commanders criticized Stalin's tank production and the gradual mediocrity of T-34 tank performance. In order to speed up the production in the early army, T-34 tanks used relatively simple and large number of 76mm caliber guns. However, the power of this kind of guns was extremely limited in actual combat, so T-34 tanks were also allocated to Stalin tanks in actual combat to be used as cannon fodder for cooperative combat.

In fact, in the original history, the successful design of T-34 tank was too mythical. Most of the time, this kind of tank was bullying the German infantry. The reason why they performed well in the war was that the German armored forces were too few.

These tanks have a strong endurance, so they can tear up the German defense line and then quickly detour around. Although they are often attacked by the German elite armored forces in the process of attack, it doesn't matter if they fail in thousands of attempts, because as long as they succeed once, they are enough to make the German defense line collapse.

The typical Soviet way of playing was to tear up the German infantry line with T-34 tanks, and then break through the detour... If they were pushed back by the German armored forces, they would try another place. As long as the breakthrough detour is successful once, the next step is to use the endurance ability of T-34 tank to encircle the German infantry and annihilate its effective forces.

However, in the current war situation, the strength of German armored forces is too huge, which is already dragging down Germany's precious crude oil reserves, so cheap T-34 tanks are not enough.

Different from the German infantry in another time and space, the German infantry group now has a large number of independent anti tank battalions and assault gun battalions. These infantry armored battalions usually support the infantry attack, but they are used as self-propelled anti tank guns in defense - these weapons caused a lot of damage to the Soviet tanks, It also made the German infantry position more indestructible.

Just a few minutes later, the German armored forces nearby would arrive, and a large number of elite leopard tiger king tanks would cut in from both wings and annihilate the Soviet army who tried to break through the German position - so the exchange became unbearable for the Soviet Union: the German army replaced a large number of new Soviet T-34 tanks with a small number of cheap leopard chassis assault guns.

According to the data provided by a statistical department in akkado, for every assault gun lost by the German army, the Soviet army lost two to three T-34 or KV-1 tanks. In terms of construction time and production capacity, one assault gun is only about equal to one T-34 tank.

So a thing that made all the Soviet leaders panic was finally put on their table, and the German commanders in another time and space also faced this problem: the more armor they were fighting, the more they were fighting! And the higher the quality, the better the performance!

So naturally, the Soviets are also trying to find ways to solve various problems encountered by the front-line forces. For example, they provide large caliber anti tank guns for the infantry forces on a large scale, reinforce the armor of Stalin tanks, and turn them into stronger but slower Stalin 2 tanks.

Facts have proved that it is not only the Germans who have huge brain holes. After the crisis, Soviet engineers and scientists also had their own whimsical inventions: they strengthened Stalin tanks, widened tracks, used lower turrets, and created Stalin 4 tanks. However, this kind of tank is still on the drawing and can't be produced immediately.

At the same time, there were also Soviet rocket air defense fighters, a weapon that imitated German fibrette firecrackers, an improved individual weapon similar to mp-44 assault rifle, and IL-2 attack aircraft equipped with updated engines. Unfortunately, because of the collapse of industrial capacity, these weapons can be called classic weapons by later generations, and most of them have not been put into production.

However, the stalin-2 tank, which has strengthened its armor and is completely used for defense, can actually be put into production directly. The Soviet industrial sector began to produce fixed turret tanks similar to German assault guns to serve as front-line anti tank weapons. Stalin tank without turret is named su-122 fighter, while T-34 tank without turret is named su-76 fighter.

Obviously, these weapons are named after the caliber of the main gun. Although they have been simplified a lot, they are still welcomed by the front-line forces. Of course, they were also welcomed by the rear workers - the supervision department only asked how many Stalin tanks or t-34s to produce, but they only asked what kind of tanks they were.

The first 300 su-122s and su-76s were sent to the front line to try to stabilize the collapsing Volga line. The Soviet garrison there could be broken through at any time, so most of the weapons produced were thrown there. Unfortunately, the direction of Moscow is tight recently, so more than 100 tanks produced have been sent to the front line in the north. It's hopeless enough to think about it: the German army produced the advanced and powerful Tiger King 2 tank in the rear factory, but the Soviet workers worked overtime to produce the simplified Stalin tank and T-34 tank. This is really a great power contest“ Why only 90 152 mm guns were produced this month? Can't comrades produce 10 more for the motherland? " A Soviet officer in charge of distributing the weapons produced looked at the factory director with a bright face. This month, the production of large caliber guns did not increase at all, which was a very strange phenomenon in wartime. In fact, the main reason is that there is a problem in the distribution of raw materials. A large number of steel products have been transferred to the tank production department, and the artillery has been shut down for two days - the workers really need a rest. Since January, they have not had a day off, and they have produced more than 400 152 howitzers for the front line day and night. Unfortunately, their production speed still did not meet the speed of losing artillery on the front line: records show that 150 Soviet howitzers on the front line were captured by the German army, more than 300 were destroyed by bombers or bombed when they retreated, and more than 50 blast chambers or other faults were waiting to be repaired“ General comrades, workers comrades need to rest, most of them have not been home for 2 months... "The factory director looked at the general of the logistics department, helplessly opened his dry lips, and said in a sad voice:" we can only eat two meals a day, if we go on like this, sooner or later something will happen! " In June, the Soviet army lost a large part of its original grain producing areas: Ukraine and Belarus are now in the hands of the German army. Now a large part of the grain reserves has been consumed, and the grain shortage that could not have happened will break out with the war. Most areas in the rear began to implement the rationing system. In order to prevent unrest, all the grain was taken over by the army, and the civilians only gave out two meals a day“ What can happen? You're alarmist! Comrade! Watch what you say and do The general reminded the factory director in front of him in a cold voice, and then continued to reprimand: "the Germans are close to Moscow, and the great leader comrade Stalin is setting an example for us to stick to Moscow! At this time, we should try our best to produce weapons as soon as possible to support the soldiers on the front line! Do you understand? " What can happen? You don't have to look at how many people in the whole rear still want to work overtime... We are working hard to produce weapons and equipment. As a result, we haven't heard of any decent victory in front-line fighting. Zhukov went south to recover several broken cities, and now the radio is still repeating the commendation every day, but when the German called Moscow, no one said it. I didn't pay attention to the silence of the factory director here, because the general assigned by the logistics department was already in a mess for other things. There are about 30 tanks and more than 100 heavy guns piled up here, but there is no way to send these weapons to the front line in a short time because there is no suitable means of transportation. Most of the railway cars carry people and grain, and some of them are ammunition. The front line is short of everything, so the limited capacity of the railway can not meet the needs of the front line to make up for the losses. It's even more a joke to transport by car. The Soviet Union knows that the road conditions are bad, but the car output can't keep up with the loss of the front line... The Soviet general waved to the factory director and signaled him to go out. Then after the factory director went out, he grabbed the phone in front of him: "hasn't the car aid from the United States arrived yet? We are waiting for it! yes! Hurry up, at least 300... En... 300 or 400, preferably 500. " After that, he hung up the phone and looked at the delivery list left by the factory director. With a wry smile, he signed his name on it.
