Chapter 552 Tank Renovation Plan (Part 1)
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the door and found that the person who was talking was Colonel Bere.
Bo Lei walked in and saw that everyone did not answer his question, and he smiled and repeated the question: "Comrades Commander, is there anything worth being happy about? I see you laughing so hard that you are slacking off."
"That's right, Colonel Bereh." Berehkin suppressed his smile and explained to Bereh, "The headquarters just sent us a mixed regiment, and the commander who led the team was actually a colonel. I said that the number of colonels under the brigade commander was too large, so he replied to me, saying that his superiors should promote him to the rank so that he could command these colonels with justification."
"So that's the case, hahaha!" After hearing Belkin's explanation, Bere smiled and said to Sokov: "Comrade Brigade Commander, with the achievements you have achieved, I guess you will become a general in at most one year."
"Col. Bilei, thank you for your good words." Napoleon said that a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier. Sokov dreamed of becoming a general. At this moment, he felt happy after hearing Bilei's flattery. However, he did not forget the serious matter. He restrained the smile on his face and asked, "Has the fixed turret been arranged?"
"Yes, all ten tanks are in place now." Bere nodded and replied: "And each tank has two observers arranged for each tank to guide the target. In order to prevent being injured by shrapnel when the enemy is bombarded, I asked them to dig a pit under the tank and hide it in the pit for observation."
"Col. Bilei, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt you." Belkin listened to Bilei's report to Sokov, and became more confused as he listened, and he couldn't help asking: "What do you arrange two observers for each tank? You must know that if the tank is activated, the loud roar of the engine can suppress the observers' shouts, how will they guide the tanks to attack the enemy's targets at that time?"
After hearing what Belkin said, he couldn't help but look surprised on his face. He turned his head and looked at Sokov, as if he was asking the other party with his eyes: "What the hell is going on? Why did the political commissar ask such a question?"
Sokov quickly explained to Behrai: "Col. Behrai, the political commissar has just arrived, and I haven't had time to tell him about the tank phone." As he said that, he turned around and faced Behraini and installed a telephone at the tail of the tank so as to better achieve the coordination between Butan. He explained to Behraini in detail.
After hearing Sokov introduced the tank phone number to Berkin, Bere explained in detail the results achieved by the Tank Battalion today. He couldn't help but say proudly: "If it weren't for the German planes coming, our Tank Battalion would have suffered no losses."
Bere's words reminded Sokov. He remembered that he didn't know what the fighter's damage was today, so he stood up and walked behind the radio operator, and told him: "Send a report to the fighter's flight regiment and ask about their achievements in today's air battle, as well as their own losses."
Taking advantage of the time when the radio operator sent the newspaper, Sokov walked back to the table, frowned and said to Bere: "Comrade Colonel, judging from the battle situation today, there are still many problems in the tank battalion."
"Comrade Brigade Commander, please sit first." Berehi asked Sokov to sit down first, and asked respectfully: "Can you tell me what problems do we have?"
Sokov stretched out a finger and said, "First of all, there is no on-board radio station installed on every tank. Only the commander can contact the radio station when he is in the car. This will easily cause the battalion, company, and platoon leader to be destroyed, and the entire battle formation will fall into extreme chaos, and the ending will be destroyed by the German tank crew or anti-tank hands one by one."
Beret agrees with Sokov's statement very much. He clearly remembered that the order Sokov issued to him could only convey to the two company commanders, and then the company commander would guide the attack. After remembering this problem in his heart, he nodded slightly, and then asked: "Comrade Brigade Commander, is there any solution?"
"The best solution is to install every tank on board radio." Sokov said slowly: "In this way, every command you have can be directly conveyed to each vehicle crew."
After Sokov finished speaking, Bere shook his head and said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, your statement is unrealistic. Under the current circumstances, where can we find so many radio stations to install all the tanks? And there is another question, you may not consider that if every vehicle crew had a radio station, if everyone was calling constantly during the battle, who could hear the orders given by his superiors clearly."
"Comrade Colonel, this is how I think about it." Sokov knew that by the end of the war, many T-34 tanks had not been installed on the radio, so he adopted a compromise method: "The radio stations equipped by the battalion, company, and platoon commanders can not only accept orders, but also issue orders; while the radio stations of ordinary vehicles can only accept orders. Look, what is my proposal?"
A surprise expression appeared on Be Lei's face. He nodded vigorously and said, "Comrade Brigade Commander, I think your method is OK. As long as you can find enough radio stations, I will ask someone to install it immediately."
"The current T-34 tank is a four-man crew, so the captain serves as the gunner, which leads to the reduction of the command efficiency of the commander, which greatly affects the performance of the vehicle's performance." In order to attract the attention of Bere, Sokov once again proposed the current shortcomings of the T-34 tank: "Also, there is no command tower in the tank, which reduces the captain's observation ability a lot. Therefore, it is necessary to speed up the tank's transformation..."
"Comrade Brigade Commander," Bere suddenly interrupted Sokov. He looked around and asked curiously: "Where has Major Yakov gone?"
If Bi Lei didn't ask, Sokov really didn't pay attention to where Yakov went. He looked around and confirmed that Yakov was not in the room, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either."
"Comrade Brigade Commander, I'll give you a suggestion." Bere suggested to Sokov: "I know there are a batch of on-board radio stations in the Derrensky tractor factory. Do you think you can let Major Yakov come forward and get these radio stations back?"
