Colonel Chernetsev arranged for Shulka to be an NC84 transport plane (Mile-2).

It's not about speed, Shulka is recovering from an injury, and it doesn't make much sense to get to his destination quickly...... So far, it seems, although it isn't.

Transport aircraft are arranged for safety reasons.

It takes a whole day by train, and there are many people on board along the way, so it's easy to get spied again if you leak your whereabouts.

Even the Germans might have sent bombers to bomb the train if they had received the news.

It's not the same with a transport plane.

The short time is not enough for the enemy to react, but more importantly, the skies over Moscow are quite safe at this time, and the transport planes to the rear will not be disturbed, not to mention that Colonel Chernetsev also arranged two fighters to escort Shulka.

This came as a bit of a surprise to Shulka...... You must know that the last time Zhukov arranged a trip for Shulka there was no fighter escort, and a colonel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could easily do it.

The plane landed directly at Stalingrad, as last time.

It was the instructor who came to pick up Shulka.

Shulka was not surprised by this, because Colonel Chernetsev told Shulka before the plane took off that he would notify the troops ten minutes before the plane arrived.

Of course, this was done out of secrecy, and even if the German spies received this message ten minutes before they arrived, they did not have time to react.

The instructor hugged Shulka warmly and said with a smile: "I heard that you are not used to staying in the hospital?" ”

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "The Germans don't want me to live in this world!" ”

"Of course!" The instructor smiled and replied, "They should have done it a long time ago!" ”

Shulka couldn't help but be stunned when the instructor stepped into the car, it was an American jeep.

"Is it American?" Shulka asked quizzically as he stepped onto the jeep.

"yes, how do you know that?" The instructor asked rhetorically.

"Oh!" Shulka hurriedly covered up: "I guess, I heard that the Americans are going to send us something, right?" ”

The instructor nodded and replied, "That's not just what they sent!" ”

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he headed for the training ground.

As soon as the jeep entered the training ground, cheers rang out from all around, and the soldiers took off their hats and waved at Shulka in groups.

"They didn't know you were going back!" The instructor explained, "I didn't tell them this! ”

The jeep stopped in front of a bunch of tanks, and the soldiers of the third company surrounded them from all directions with a single shout:

"Behold, Comrade Company Commander is back!"

"Comrade Second Lieutenant, are your injuries healed?

……

Shulka responded to the fighters while looking at the tanks on the training ground, and then looked at the instructor suspiciously.

Of course, it was actually Shulka who faked it, and he knew what was going on.

The instructor raised his head, took a sip of the Wotga from his arms, then handed it to Shulka and said, "Like you said, the Americans are going to send us something...... That's it! ”

The American Lend-Lease Act, the American M3 medium tank, with a two-turret design, was called the "General Grant" tank by the British.

There are also Matilda and Valentine tanks from the UK.

It is no wonder that the 1st Guards Tank Brigade was transferred back to Stalingrad, where they were used to test the new arrivals.

In detail, Shulka believes that the first thing is that the temperature has dropped sharply recently, to minus 30 degrees, and at the same time the reinforcements of the Far Eastern Front have arrived in Moscow, which has eased Moscow's defenses.

In this case, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade has room to be transferred back.

Secondly, it was the test of this batch of tanks that was of great significance to the Soviet Union.

This is not only a question of their imminent entry into the battlefield, but also a question of testing and feedback on the aid of the United States and Britain...... Whether the quality is good or not, whether it can adapt to the Soviet battlefield, and whether it can play a certain role on the battlefield needs to be evaluated by an elite army.

(Only elite troops can find problems and be convincing, for example, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade has won many battles with Soviet-style equipment, but it believes that Britain and the United States are not equipped enough and even lost on the battlefield)

"Back to your posts, you bastards!" A British colonel yelled in English at the side: "Do you think this is a game? It's fighting, and I don't think you know what a fight is...... In your current condition, the Germans are going to beat you out of the! ”

The Soviet interpreter beside him translated these words as they were.

The soldiers did not move, and some spat on the ground.

Shulka looked at the instructor suspiciously.

The instructor shrugged his shoulders and replied, "That's a British instructor, named Stephen...... You know, they gave us the equipment and taught us how to use it, so they sent a team of advisors, both British and American, but mostly British! ”

Then the instructor added, "That's interesting, isn't it?" Most of them are American equipment, but let the British teach us how to use them! ”

Shulka knows why.

Because the British had more experience fighting against the Germans...... To be precise, it should be the combat experience of the Italian army, whose main opponents in the desert were the Italians, and the Germans had only a small part.

On the other hand, it was the U.S. military that supplied a large amount of equipment to the British army, so the British army did have more experience in using it.

But that doesn't mean these experiences are correct, otherwise they shouldn't have been beaten to the ground by Rommel in Africa.

Of course, the British would not admit this, just like this instructor, who still yelled at the Soviet soldiers with arrogance.

Shulka didn't plan to deal with the instructor, but raised his head at the soldiers and said, "Go! After all, he came to teach us how to fight the Germans! ”

The soldier answered, and then reluctantly returned to the training ground for training.

At this moment, a man emerged from a "General Grant" tank and waved at Shulka, who took a while to recognize it as Fedosyev......

Looking at the tank soldiers in Soviet-style military uniforms in the American tank, there is really a sense of disobedience.

This seems to be something that cannot be helped, at this time the Soviet military industry is moving to the rear and has not yet been able to fully resume production, so tanks are urgently needed.

Here's the problem...... Shulka did not know how useful these tanks could be on the battlefield.

"Get your asses moving!" At this time, the British instructor shouted again: "Follow the tank, you idiots, unless you think your skin is thicker than the tank armor, you are finished!" ”
