Chapter Seventy-One: Driving

Training starts as soon as it's formed...... As a matter of fact, there is simply no time or conditions for more training, and it is just a matter of making the members of the unit and their superiors and subordinates familiar with each other, otherwise once a war breaks out, they will not even know their superiors, and the establishment will immediately become a mess.

There is not even a need to fight, and if you don't know each other, just marching can cause similar chaos...... If the car breaks down or there is a traffic jam, etc., when the troubleshooting traffic is smooth, it looks up, it's all unfamiliar faces, which unit is its own company?

Therefore, this training is to carry out some routine actions under the command of the superior, such as getting on the car, getting off the car, scattering according to the battle formation, and so on.

If anything, each platoon has a few soldiers to learn to drive a car with the driver.

On the one hand, if the convoy is driven for a long distance, several people must take turns to drive, and it is impossible to let the driver drive from beginning to end without eating, drinking or sleeping.

On the other hand, if the driver is wounded or killed in the battle, someone else will drive the car.

The problem is that it's only a few days, so you can only scratch the surface.

Shulka is honored to be one of them...... He has been driving in Hyundai for a few years, but in an automatic transmission.

Shulka originally thought that this was not a big problem, because when taking the driver's license test, it was also a manual transmission, and it only took a process of adaptation.

But when he actually got into this kind of gas car, he found that this was not the case at all:

The first is that it doesn't have any driving experience at all, but it seems understandable that the military advocates running fast for Dora, and no one takes the driver's feelings into account.

Then it is difficult to start, difficult to shift, at every turn to hold the "Z" shaped starting lever to the head of the car like a tractor to start manually, even the steering wheel is manual work (no steering power).

What's more exaggerated is that the rearview mirror is an ornament, where you can't see anything behind at all, and the screws and windows in the car are all ringing in the "Kekeke" sound, as if they are going to fall apart, and occasionally something falls down It's normal.

If this car is put in the modern era, it is a road killer.

Shulka, who has been driving for several years, is like this, not to mention the soldiers who have just learned to drive.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of danger the Soviet army faced in the battle, and the life of a whole car of people was handed over to a novice who had just learned to drive, and even more importantly, the Soviet soldiers still thought that these were normal.

"Don't worry, Comrade Sergeant!" The thief drove the car crookedly and said to Shulka in the back compartment: "Anyway, on the road full of mud and puddles, it is like a snail, do we need to worry about the snail hitting something?" ”

This seems to make sense, even an old driver can only drive thirty or forty yards on the road in the rain in the Soviet Union.

"Where else can we fall?" The veteran said: "The most you can do is roll to the side of the road and turn over, push it right and keep driving!" ”

It seems true that 95 percent of Ukraine is plain, and as far as the eye can see, it is empty, and even if the car deviates from the road, there will be no major problems.

"It's not a big deal!" The actor said: "What could be more dangerous than the bullets and shells of the Germans? ”

It is true that compared to the battlefield, the traffic danger of driving is really not enough to worry about.

"Boys!" The driver finally concluded: "Take out the courage you have to fight the enemy on the battlefield, and you will soon find that driving is as easy as driving a woman!" ”

The soldiers in the carriage laughed as soon as they "coaxed".

The driver, who was assigned with the car, was forty years old, named Alekvich, and the fighters usually called him Uncle Alek.

Hearing what Uncle Alek said, Shulka is no longer entangled, after all, Uncle Alek has more say in the car of this era...... Perhaps this is also the style of the Soviets who drive.

But Shulka had only half-lowered his suspense when Uncle Alek took out a bottle of vodka from under the driver's seat, opened the lid and sniffed it, and after letting out a sigh of admiration, he raised his head and drank a few sips as if no one was around. Then hand the bottle to the thief who was driving.

"A few bites, lad!" Uncle Alek said, "Trust me, this will make you learn faster!" ”

Shulka has a black line on his face: *%@&*¥

These are just small problems, the big ones are tanks.

Shulka attended a meeting with Gavrilov on the third day.

The meeting was convened by Admiral Kirponos...... As mentioned before, the mechanized 9th Army was personally reorganized by the general.

"Comrade Shulka!" A few minutes after his opening remarks, Admiral Kirponos called Shulka to the front.

"Tell me what you think!" Admiral Kirponos handed the baton to Shulka.

This left the attendees in the meeting looking sideways, who did not understand how Admiral Kirponos could let a sergeant preside over the meeting.

"Sir!" Shulka first stood up and saluted them, then pointed to the tank model on the sand table with his baton and said: "We have always used tanks as equipment attached to the infantry to coordinate infantry operations, and even in tank divisions, we use tanks as a tool to cover infantry attacks. Now, we need to switch their priorities, that is, to concentrate the tanks to attack the enemy, and the infantry to fight with the tanks! ”

The words immediately caused an uproar in the conference room.

"This has been proven to be the wrong tactic, Sergeant!" It was the commander of the 9th Army, Major General Tolichka, who spoke.

Shulka had already learned a lot about them before that.

"No, Comrade General!" Shulka said: "The opposite is true, it has been proven to be the right tactic!" Because that's how the Germans used it! ”

"You mean to say we're going to learn from those invaders?" Major General Toliczka looked angrily at Shure.

"General!" Shulka replied without giving in: "The Germans used rifles and machine guns, and if we can't be like the invaders, should we fight them with bayonets instead?" ”

Major General Toliczka was speechless.

"That's right!" Admiral Kirponos interjected: "I think I should say a few words: Comrade Major General, and everyone here, I hope you understand a little bit...... It's war, understand? It's war! War means that as long as it is the right tactics, we should not divide between the enemy and ourselves, because it can defend our motherland and people from the aggressor! ”
