There are only two shifts for today, so I'll make up for it another day!

********

Then Kalashnikov laughed: "I could not have imagined that you would do that, Comrade Shulka!" You know? It's not your bravery that I admire, nor your stratagem......"

"You're talking about imagination?" Shulka asked.

Kalashnikov stared at Shulka with wide eyes, and then nodded and said: "I can't hide anything from you, Comrade Shulka!" Yes, what I admire is your imagination and adaptability in such a short period of time...... You'll be able to come up with a near-perfect solution, and I'll just stare in the tank! ”

"You will have such imagination, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka said: "Your imagination is even much better than mine!" ”

Shulka is telling the truth, this guy in front of him is the father of AK, and AK47 has led the way in small arms for decades...... Until modern times, it has endured in Africa.

But Kalashnikov didn't think so.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, was silent for a while, as if in a struggle of ideas, before finally mustering up the courage to say: "I am timid, Comrade Shulka!" ”

"What?" Shulka habitually glanced around, this topic must not be heard, otherwise Kalashnikov's future is over.

"At that moment, I didn't actually hear the sound of the infantry stopping the advance!" Kalashnikov said: "I didn't hear it clearly, or I ignored it!" ”

Shulka knew what was going on, installing a telephone on the tank could indeed solve the problem of internal and external contact, and it was very simple, the problem was to make a long telephone line, and the T34 tank at this time was operated by 4 people, and there was not enough crew and no one to answer.

So, tankmen usually dig a hole in their tank cap and tie their phones directly to it, so that they can operate the tank and keep in touch with their followers.

The disadvantage is that the phone will loosen from time to time due to the pull of the telephone line, and the commander has an extra burden.

For example, Kalashnikov is a driver who needs to drive the tank, and at the same time, as the commander, he has to direct the fire, and at all times he has to keep in touch with and even learn from the followers outside the tank.

In this case, it is inevitable that some information will be missed.

"That is......" Shulka said, "you stopped the tank on your own initiative?" ”

"Yes!" Kalashnikov nodded.

After a moment of silence, he continued: "I saw the two destroyed tanks in front of me, and my head was messed up with a 'coax', and I couldn't help but imagine that a shell destroyed the tank and blew myself to pieces, and then I couldn't help but stop the tank...... It's a shame, isn't it? ”

"No, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka replied: "That's normal! ”

"I don't need comfort, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov took a big sip of vodka from his cup: "At that time I even lost the ability to think, if it weren't for your command, I believe I would have ...... like those two tanks"

"That's the problem!" Shulka said, "You think I'm comforting you? No, I think it takes not only courage to fight the enemy, but also wisdom...... If you had rushed forward bravely, what would have been the result? ”

Kalashnikov did not speak.

"It turned out to be the same as those two tanks!" Shulka said: "Hit by an enemy shell, and then turned into a pile of scrap metal...... That doesn't make us win! ”

"Maybe you're right, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov said: "But at that moment I should rush forward, you will command the next tank to achieve the same victory!" ”

Shulka spread his hands to show his helplessness, and he realized that he was not the only one who fell into self-blame. Kalashnikov simply did not know how important it was for the USSR that he was alive.

But suddenly Shulka realized that Kalashnikov seemed to be right, and at that moment he really should rush forward......

The reason is that after being wounded on the battlefield, Kalashnikov was in the hospital thinking about how to deal with the German submachine guns, so he gave up continuing to be a tank soldier and embarked on the road of developing rifles.

But now, most likely, Kalashnikov is not injured because of himself, and not being injured does not mean ...... Won't he reflect deeply in the hospital? Of course, you won't give up being a tank soldier?

Shulka couldn't help but curse secretly, is this a bad thing?!

"What are you thinking?" Kalashnikov asked.

"I'm thinking about ......" Shulka asked: "Comrade Kalashnikov, have you ever thought about giving up being a tank crew?" ”

"Of course not!" Kalashnikov denied it without thinking about it: "Why do you have such an idea? Yes, I am indeed timid, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on tankers, especially at this time, when the country needs me! ”

Shulka wanted to slap himself......

Why did it come up at that time with a Kalashnikov tank ?!

There were more than eighty tanks in the whole brigade, but it was Kalashnikov's tanks that followed!

After thinking about it, Shulka said: "I didn't mean that, Comrade Kalashnikov!" You are right, the motherland needs us at the right time, and of course we cannot run away from it! But...... The Motherland needs us more than just war! ”

"For example?" Kalashnikov looked at Shulka suspiciously.

"Like designing a rifle!" Shulka points out: "You have the talent for this......"

"That's probably what I'm hoping for...... Comrade Shulka! Kalashnikov was embarrassed and said: "But I am a tank soldier, and I have to fight the Germans!" I don't even know if I'll make it back alive! ”

Kalashnikov is right, as a tank soldier, Kalashnikov is really not in a position to do this.

What can Shulka do?

Do you continue to wait for Kalashnikov to be injured?

No, next time it may not be an injury but a sacrifice!

Shulka even wanted to report Kalashnikov so that he could no longer be a tankman...... However, this is obviously not a good idea, as it could lead to severe punishment for Kalashnikov.

So......

"I heard you!" Shulka asked: "You worked in Stalingrad for a while, do you know some people?" ”

"Yes!" Kalashnikov replied: "But that doesn't change anything, they need a tanker more than an ordinary engineer!" ”

"What if you're not an ordinary engineer?" Shulka asked.

"What do you mean?" Kalashnikov looked at Shulka suspiciously.
