Then the soldiers were taken by the colonel into the production workshop for a tour.

Of course, not everyone rushed to the site, but the battalion was lined up in a neat formation under the leadership of the colonel.

Shulka's battalion was a battalion, and this number gave them the honor of being one of the first troops to visit.

The Colonel walked ahead, from the side of an open gate that was dozens of meters wide.

An engineer came up and shook the colonel's hand, then took the bullhorn from the colonel's hand and shouted: "Comrades, I am the head of Sisoy here, and I will take you to the production of T34 tanks next!" ”

Then, Sisoi led the troops forward like a tour guide, explaining as he went: "The T34 tank is divided into three parts, the driver and mechanics are located in the front of the hull, the middle of the hull on the fighting compartment, and the engine and transmission are installed in the rear of the hull......"

In fact, these may be useful to the tank soldiers, and most of the 333rd Regiment are infantry who don't even know what the fighting compartment and transmission device are, which is almost like playing the piano to the cow.

But this did not affect the visit of the fighters.

In the workshop, there are neatly lined up tanks waiting to be assembled, being assembled or assembled, and workers and tank crews are busy inside...... As the colonel said, the tankmen are learning from the workers to deal with simple breakdowns.

When had the soldiers seen such a big scene, they couldn't help but let out a burst of admiration.

However, after a period of "confusion", they quickly thought of the main point:

"Comrade Sisoy!" One of the soldiers asked: "It is said that our tanks are better than those of the Germans, right?" ”

"Yes!" Sisoy nodded and replied with a proud expression: "I mean the T34 tank, it can easily penetrate the enemy's 'No. 3' and 'No. 4' tanks at a distance of 500 meters or even 1,000 meters, and the enemy needs to be at least 100 meters away to penetrate the T34 frontal armor!" ”

(Note: The 1941 T34 is equipped with a 76MMF34 cannon that can penetrate 69 mm of homogeneous steel at a distance of 500 meters and 61 mm of steel at a distance of 1000 meters)

And then the question arises......

"Why, then, are the tanks of the Germans rampage on the battlefield?"

As soon as Sisoy heard this question, his head immediately turned from high to low, and he did not know how to answer it, so he turned his eyes to the colonel for help.

"I've already told you why, you idiot!" The colonel replied, "You should listen carefully, that's why your superiors have sent you here to visit!" ”

This explanation seems plausible, but Shulka knows that this is only one of the reasons.

As he walked to the center, Sisoy gave the soldiers a little freedom and took the opportunity to meet with the tankmen.

Shulka had little interest in this, and while the others were talking enthusiastically, he walked up to a tank that was being assembled and looked up and down...... Being able to go into the workshop and see the production of tanks up close is not a common opportunity.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Sisoy asked Shulka, "You seem to be interested in it!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Sisoy!" Shulka replied.

"Look, they're installing antennas!" Sisoi explained: "So that the inside of the tank can receive the radio signal from the outside!" ”

"Not all tanks are equipped, are they?" Shulka asked casually, in fact, he already knew the answer.

"No, of course not!" Sisoy replied: "Only command vehicles are installed, we don't have so much radio equipment and can't put every tank on it!" ”

"Comrade Sisoy, don't you think there will be anything wrong with this?" Shulka asked.

"Questions?" Sisoi replied: "Of course there is a problem, which will make it difficult for the tanks to work together, but this problem is solved to some extent...... A smart guy, he thought of a solution, which was to connect an external telephone! That's a feat, isn't it? Hearing that he was just a sergeant, it was hard to imagine that a sergeant could think of such a good method! ”

"He's a second lieutenant now!" Shulka said.

"Oh, really?" Sisoi said, "What a lucky fellow! ”

Shulka was a little ridiculous, he did not expect that his fame had already spread to the tank factory.

"But that's not what I'm talking about, Comrade Sisoy!"

"What's the problem then?" Sisoy looked at Shulka suspiciously.

"Antenna!" Shulka raised his head at the towering antenna that the workers were installing.

"Something wrong with the antenna? You're saying it's broken? ”

Shulka almost spurted a mouthful of blood to the ceiling, and if the engineers were all concerned with technical issues like Sisoy, then the Soviets would be miserable.

"Comrade Sisoy!" Shulka said: "If you were German and you saw this tank, and there was an antenna on this tank, what would you think? ”

"No, comrade! I'm not German! Sisoy's face was serious and a little panicked: "I can prove that I have the papers...... There are many more who can attest to it! ”

It was Shulka's fault, he forgot that there were a lot of German spies mixed in the Soviet army, and the Soviet army was conducting a large-scale inventory, so this kind of joke could not be made casually.

The Colonel seemed to notice the situation, so he leaned in and asked, "What are you discussing?" ”

"Colonel!" As if he had found a rescuer, Sisoy grabbed the colonel and said: "Comrade second lieutenant thinks that I am German, you can prove it......"

The colonel looked at Shulka with confusion and said, "Did you recognize the wrong person, second lieutenant?" ”

Shulka was a little speechless.

"The problem is on that antenna, Colonel!" Shulka said: "If you were German and saw this tank, and it also had an antenna, what would you think? ”

At this time, Sisoy exclaimed: "Colonel, he suspects that you are also German!" ”

Shulka reluctantly threw his hand at the colonel.

The colonel seemed to understand something, and then laughed "haha".

Then his expression turned serious again.

"That's right, second lieutenant!" "They will see at a glance that it is a command car," said the colonel! ”

"Yes!" Shulka said: "Then it will become the main target of the enemy!" ”

"So, how do we solve this problem?" The colonel habitually touched his chin.

"What's the problem?" Sisoy was still a little confused.

"Comrade Sisoy!" The colonel explained: "The antenna will expose this tank as a command vehicle, which will make it the focus of the enemy's attack!" That's what the second lieutenant meant......"

Sisoy couldn't help but let out an "oh" and patted his head before relaxing.

This made Shulka shake his head secretly, no wonder some people say that scientists are crazy and paranoid.
