Chapter 332 Training

"Hey, Colonel!" Shulka couldn't help but said to the instructor in English: "I think you should be more polite!"

"WTF!" The instructor turned around: "What did you say?"

"I said!" Shulka stepped forward and said to the instructor word by word: "You should be more polite, otherwise you will be in danger!"

"Oh, really?" The instructor couldn't help laughing: "What kind of danger is it, Second Lieutenant?"

"Do you know why they disapproved of you?" Shulka replied seriously: "Because they don't agree with what you said at all, or even the opposite...they probably destroyed more German tanks than you have ever seen, talking about those Before speaking, you should first ask about their combat history!"

The instructor couldn't help being stunned. Because of the principle of confidentiality, the instructor did not obtain the information of the First Guards Tank Brigade. At the same time, the British colonel did not understand the language of the soldiers... In fact, the bigger reason was that he didn't bother to talk to these Soviet soldiers. .

But of course the instructor will not show weakness, he laughed: "Second Lieutenant, you may not know that I fought in Africa..."

"I know!" Shulka replied: "But how many German tanks are there in Africa?"

The instructor was at a loss for words for a while, because at this time the whole world knew that there was only one armored division, and it was a light armored division, that defeated the British army in the first place. (Note: 5th Light Armored Division)

"I mean well!" Shulka added: "Look at the vodka they drink...you don't know them, if they have a problem with someone, they usually don't complain, they drink the whole bottle of that stuff, and then beat you up, whether it's an enemy or one of your own. You don't want that, do you?"

Stephen believed in this, because the top Soviet officials also distributed Vodka to him, double the ration.

Steven even sneaked a little... Stephen was used to drinking wine every day when he was in Africa, so he didn't think a few sips would be a big deal.

As a result, he quickly passed out drunk on the bed. Fortunately, the consequence of this was only half an hour late the next day, and no one else noticed it.

Since then, he never dared to touch the vodka allocated to him again, but he was too embarrassed to show weakness in front of others, so he poured out vodka secretly, mixed water in the wine case, and pretended to drink it from time to time. Take a few sips and then a few compliments.

Steven didn't understand how these seemingly thin and malnourished Soviet soldiers could drink this stuff one after another without changing their expressions, and even took it to the battlefield... This is crazy!

Although Stephen knew in his heart that Shulka was right, he still refused to admit it.

"Thank you for your advice, Lieutenant!" Stephen said, "But, I know how to train them!"

Shulka didn't answer, he just smiled and left.

"Who is he!" Stephen asked the translator beside him.

"He is the commander of the third company, and he just came back from his wounds, Colonel!" the interpreter replied.

"Hmm!" Stephen laughed, "In other words, he should join them in training..."

"No, Colonel!" The interpreter replied: "He is the exception, I think it is up to him!"

"Why?" Stephen asked suspiciously.

"Because..." The translator didn't know how to answer for a while, so he borrowed a sentence from Shulka: "Because he destroyed more tanks than you have seen, Colonel!"

Stephen looked at the translator with incredible eyes, he thought that everyone here must be crazy!

"Comrade Shulka!" Katukov saw Shulka walk into the headquarters, he couldn't help but stood up happily and took the initiative to shake hands: "Long time no see!"

"Yes, long time no see, Colonel!" Shulka was a little surprised by Katukov's return, and he hadn't even fully recovered, because Shulka still had trouble watching Katukov move.

Katukov seemed to know what Shulka was thinking, so he spread his hands and replied, "No way, I'm needed here!"

Shulka nodded in understanding.

If Major Zakhakovic was competent in the previous battles, the evaluation and training of these British and American tanks is not for ordinary people. He must be an expert in tank tactics like Katukov.

"How?" Katukov asked. "Have you seen those tanks and thought they... oh, I think you should see these!"

As Katukov said, he handed Shulka a document.

Shuerka opened it and looked at the performance data of those tanks.

In fact, Shulka doesn't need to look at these data at all, he knows the weaknesses of these tanks.

"The British tanks... are too slow!" Shulka said: "The top speed is only 24 kilometers per hour, which is almost half that of the T34! The American tanks are large and have insufficient protection. They are easily destroyed by the Germans!"

Katukov nodded in agreement: "That's right, Comrade Shulka, it seems that you also have a good understanding of tanks!"

"I have to understand, Colonel!" Shulka replied: "Because these things are often needed to save lives on the battlefield!"

Colonel Katukov couldn't help laughing.

"That's not what a hero would say, Shulka!" Colonel Katukov said, "Although you are right, and the battlefield needs people like you! But... say these words in front of me That's enough, understand?"

"Yes, Colonel!"

"Looks like they sent us a pile of scrap metal!" Katukov said.

Shulka did not answer.

Shulka knew in his heart that he couldn't say that... Britain and the United States had reasons to help the Soviet Union, because at this time the Soviet Union was generally beaten badly by the German army, and even most countries in the world believed that Moscow would fall this winter.

Therefore, Britain and the United States really want to help the Soviet Union, because only by helping the Soviet Union to delay it longer, Germany will not be able to turn around and deal with Britain and the United States with all its strength.

The problem is that not long after the Soviet-German war broke out, Britain and the United States urgently provided reinforcements to the Soviet Union. They could only provide some existing equipment or equipment that could be sent to the Soviet Union more easily.

This batch of tanks is like this, and Britain and the United States use these tanks themselves.

"However, we still have to try to use these tanks!" Katukov said: "After all, it is better to have tanks than to have nothing!"

As Katukov said, he raised his head to the staff officer next to him and said, "Let Instructor Stephen come over!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Then Stephen walked into the headquarters.

Katukov shook hands with Stephen, and said: "Colonel Stephen, let me introduce you, this is Comrade Shulka... He will join you in the training of the tank unit in the future!"

"Him?" Stephen couldn't help casting a puzzled look at Shulka, and then quickly turned into anger.
