There is no need to worry about the training of another tank unit, which is the benefit of another set of command system, the command system has already been built and even has a certain amount of actual combat experience, if it is not for the problem that the tank needs to adapt and train, the soldiers can go to the battlefield as soon as they are replenished.

What made Shulka and others find it interesting was that because of the handover of British and American tanks, the British and American advisory groups were also sent to Rzhev, and of course there was no shortage of Stephen, who was invincible and threatened to wait to see the jokes of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

Colonel Stephen didn't want to make any more contact with the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

Needless to say, the results of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade were completely different from what he had predicted, which almost proved that what Colonel Stephen had taught did not apply.

So, Colonel Stephen planned to go directly to the camp of the 5th Guards Tank Brigade after arriving in Rzhev...... The 5th Guards Tank Brigade was the newly formed armored unit that received British and American tanks, and this unit was also the first unit to be equipped with "Sherman" tanks.

But the situation made it impossible for Colonel Stephen to escape this "catastrophe".

Just before Colonel Stephen left for Rzhev, he received a telegram from London:

"I heard that they defeated the Germans with the Matilda tank? You should take this opportunity to learn tactics and their new equipment, the individual anti-tank weapon! ”

Stephen was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

In fact, Britain at this time, as an ally of the Soviet Union, had common interests, and as long as the British side opened its mouth, it was completely possible to obtain this information through regular channels.

The problem is that Britain at this time regarded itself as the "world's number one power" everywhere, and at the national level, their own tanks were beaten by the Germans on the African battlefield, but the Soviets used the same tanks to defeat the same formidable enemy...... It is clearly unacceptable in terms of face.

Therefore, it was natural for them to think of the advisory group sent to the Soviet Union.

Of course, this is a good idea, as long as the advisory group takes the opportunity of training to communicate with the Soviet soldiers, it is easy to get this information...... They certainly didn't know that Colonel Stephen didn't want to do that.

Colonel Stephen even called back to find an excuse to refuse.

"I don't think it's necessary!" "I know the battle, and they were able to win more because the Germans were not prepared for the Soviet winter," Stephen said. To put it simply, they were on the verge of collapse in the first place, and the 1st Guards Tank Brigade was able to win only at the right time, which had nothing to do with the tactics they used! ”

But the British, of course, will not easily believe Stephen's words.

"But that's not what we've learned!" London replied in stern terms: "We have heard that the 1st Guards Tank Brigade was precisely the lever that leveraged the collapse of the German army, and that they had routed a German panzer division in Tver with very few casualties!" In any case, you should figure this out and give us a detailed report! ”

Britain is an old spy country, although they are in decline at this time, but Britain is still a world leader in intelligence, and this bit of intelligence is a piece of cake for them.

In desperation, Colonel Stephen had no choice but to set off with his advisory group, and the first stop was that he had to go to the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

Sure enough, when Stephen and the others got off the train, there were Soviet soldiers around them who whistled at Colonel Stephen and his party.

"Colonel!" The Soviet soldiers shouted: "Are you here to teach us how to use tanks?" ”

"Thanks to you! Thanks to your training, we managed to defeat the Germans! ”

"I'm just so sorry! We didn't use your tactics! ”

Then the Soviet soldiers burst into laughter.

Colonel Stephen couldn't understand the words, and the interpreter wouldn't be able to translate them, but he could still feel the taste of ridicule.

A group of people walked into the headquarters of the 1st Guards Tank Brigade in a gloomy manner, Katukov was discussing with Shulka and others how to cooperate with the T34, and when he saw Colonel Stephen, he asked with some surprise: "Colonel, the camp of the 5th Guards Tank Brigade is about five miles east of us!" ”

"Yes, I know, Colonel!" Stephen replied, "But you know, if we need to train new troops better, we need to know more about how our tanks are used on the battlefield!" ”

"Don't you think they're all the same everywhere?" Lieutenant Colonel Zahakavich laughed and sarcastically said: "I seem to have heard you say before, no matter where you fight, you should use your set of tactics!" ”

The officers in the command couldn't help but laugh.

Katukov raised his head at Shulka and said: "I think Captain Shulka has more say in this regard, you can go and find out from him!" ”

Katukov apparently didn't want to waste too much time on Stephen, so he kicked him to Shulka as if he were kicking a ball.

Stephen looked at Shulka and felt that he had been greatly insulted, but there was nothing he could do, because this was the task given to him by the London side, so he could only blush and say to Shulka: "Comrade Captain, I hope you can cooperate with us, after all...... This will be of great help to the 5th Guards Tank Brigade, and we will be able to cooperate better! ”

"Of course, Colonel!" Shulka replied in English and walked out of the command with Stephen, saying, "However, if you only ask me about it, I don't think it's far enough, because fighting the enemy is not entirely based on theory or a few big words, I think it should be learned more from training." Our troops are training new recruits, and you can learn more about them and what you want to know. I'll take care of it all! ”

"Thank you very much, Comrade Shulka!" Stephen looked at Shulka with some surprise: "I thought it was ......"

"You think I'm going to taunt you or make things difficult for you?" Shulka replied: "No, Colonel! It's hard enough for us to face the enemy and die on the battlefield, and I don't want to fight with our allies anymore, don't you say? ”

"Yes, of course!" Stephen shook Shulka's hand gratefully.

In fact, this is only one of the reasons, Shulka prefers that the bazooka will equip the British army earlier...... If the British dragged more German troops in the African theater in this way, it would obviously be beneficial to the Soviet Union.
