So things are often so ironic, ignorant, stubborn, conceited, they often don't think that it is precisely because they have these problems, but that others are stubborn and don't listen to their advice.

Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and the others, of course, would not pay attention to what Stephen said...... While those words did sound plausible on the surface, the Soviets' rugged style of warfare was incompatible with the conformism of the British, and Stephen's overemphasis on defense and step-by-step play was seen as cowardly and cowardly by their emphasis on bravery.

Of course, Shulka did not think the same thing as the Soviet officer.

He knew that this could not be said that the British army was cowardly, but that the British had not been able to get out of the thinking of World War I to some extent, and they still believed that defense had a greater advantage over offense, so they preferred to choose defense in battle.

The British couldn't figure it out: what's wrong with laying mines, barbed wire, barricades, etc., in front of the line of defense to attack and consume the enemy's living forces? Why risk attacking at the cost of soldiers' lives when you are not sure?

They did exactly what they did on the battlefield, and they built one defense line after another in North Africa, only to be broken through by Rommel with weak forces...... The British never understood what was wrong with them.

In the end, they even succeeded, Montgomery successfully held off Rommel at El Alamein, and after a stalemate even began a counteroffensive and eventually drove Rommel out of North Africa.

However, if we consider the comparison of forces and equipment between Britain and Germany, as well as the one-sided intelligence warfare...... The British army had a "super secret" capable of deciphering the German code, and Montgomery already knew the contents of Hitler's order to Rommel before it was sent to Rommel.

In this case, the British army only won a narrow victory, and it is obvious that it cannot be called tactically correct.

Of course, Colonel Stephen did not think so, and he still approached the training of the Soviet army with a waiting, showy and schadenfreude mentality.

It was really difficult for someone like Stephen to deal with, because he was sending equipment and teaching the Soviet army to use it, so the High Command demanded that "the training of the advisory group be taken seriously."

Needless to say, what "serious" means is this, which is why Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and Colonel Katukov had to be falsely compromised.

Now the good thing is that the ears of Shulka and Lieutenant Colonel Gavrilov and others are finally quiet.

When Shulka was commanding the troops to hurry up and train, Katukov contacted Shulka by phone: "They have finished making two bazookas, you can come and see them right away!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Katukov!" Shulka put down the phone and immediately walked towards the regimental headquarters.

Inside the command, Johnson, Skinnai and other American officers were there, and of course Kalashnikov and Sisoy.

As soon as he saw Shulka come in, Kalashnikov excitedly said: "Shulka ...... Do you know? We built two bazookas according to your drawings and designs and conducted preliminary tests, and it's hard to imagine that they are much better than the original in terms of performance and rate of fire! ”

"Yes!" Sisoy raised his head at a document on the table and said, "That's the test data, I think we're ready to mass-produce it!" ”

"Dude!" Skinnay said as he played with the bazooka lovingly, "I think you should do it with us...... You're gifted at this! ”

Katukov laughed: "Of course, but he is also talented on the battlefield!" ”

"Can we use this?" Major Johnson asked, "I mean, if we take this improved version of the bazooka back to the United States......"

"Of course!" Katukov laughed: "I need to ask my superiors for instructions, but I'm sure they'll agree!" ”

Then Katukov turned his gaze to Shulka and asked: "Do you have any opinions?" I mean mass production! ”

Shulka casually took the test data and looked at it, and then replied: "No problem, Colonel!" But can I suggest anything else......"

"Of course, Comrade Shulka!" Sisoi hurriedly answered: "Any suggestion is fine!" ”

Shulka picked up the bazooka and tried it, and there was nothing wrong with it, it was not much different from the "Super Bazooka...... Shulka's help allowed it to level up quickly to compensate for some fatal flaws.

But......

"The problem is the rockets!" Shulka said: "I think it's not just an anti-tank weapon! ”

Kalashnikov was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly understood: "You mean, it should also be anti-infantry?" ”

"Yes!" Shulka said: "We only need to change its warhead, replacing the conical charge mainly aimed at the tank's armor with a grenade, and then we can change it to anti-infantry or anti-fortification equipment, and we can use it to target the enemy's fortifications at close range!" ”

"Good idea, Shulka!" Katukov couldn't help but be moved when he heard this: "A hundred meters, this distance is outside the range of enemy grenades, we can use it to bombard enemy pillboxes and machine-gun fortifications!" ”

"Yes!" "We can even invent another warhead, like ...... German mines of the "S" type, with steel balls inside the warhead! ”

The officers in the command couldn't help but look at each other.

This is not because Shulka's advice does not work, of course, but that it is clearly doable, not only doable but also very easily, and it is conceivable that it can play a big role on the battlefield.

The reason for this is that such powerful direct-fire weapons are sometimes in high demand on the battlefield.

Prior to this, most of the close combat between the enemy and the enemy was carried out with light mortars as cover.

But there are some things that are difficult to hit with a mortar that is warped.

For example, a wall standing in front of you, or an anti-tank barrier or sandbags...... The curved trajectory of the mortar allowed it to hit only one point, and it took a lot of luck to hit the target.

Direct artillery fire can indeed solve this problem, but the artillery itself is inherently safe and easily overridden by enemy fire.

So there was an assault gun invented by the German army on a tank chassis.

But now, it seems, the Soviets do not need any assault guns at all...... They can achieve this with a direct shot from a bazooka.

A direct-fire bazooka obviously has a greater chance of hitting an enemy fortification than a curved mortar, because it has a straight trajectory, and as long as it is not hit too high or too low, it will eventually crash into an erected trench or pillbox.

This is especially true of pillboxes, from which it is almost impossible for mortars to hit the pillbox holes.
