Sun Hui still couldn't imagine that not only the scene just now, but all their combat operations this time had been filmed by foreign reporters with cameras, and would soon appear in newspapers around the world, and these reports would soon be sent to the Supreme Leader.

After this "battle performance", Zhukov once again summoned Sun Hui and the four girls.

"I'll leave the matter of setting up a special tank platoon to you." Zhukov said to Sun Hui simply, and handed over a written order with his autograph to Sun Hui, "But you have to get the people and tanks yourself, you can ask various departments to provide you with convenience with my orders." Once the troops are formed, you will begin to prepare for that operation, and I will greet the GRU and ask them to assist you in their entirety. ”

"Yes, Comrade General." Sun Hui suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"The GRU people are still of some use, even if they are ridiculously wrong about the timing of the outbreak of this war." Zhukov remembered the past, smiled bitterly, and reminded Sun Huidao, "So you have to use your own brain to analyze their information, don't believe it all." ”

"Yes, Comrade General."

Sun Hui understood what Zhukov meant, and the Soviet army had actually always regarded the German army as a terrible opponent and made serious preparations. They believed that the Germans would do the same, and for this reason even led to the "GRU" (i.e., the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, whose intelligence penetration capabilities were stronger than that of the KGB) to misjudge the time of the outbreak of the Soviet-German war. GRU intelligence experts believe that Germany's attack on the Soviet Union cannot be accomplished in a few months, and it must deal with the severe cold of the Soviet winter. For this reason, the German army had to purchase sheepskin jackets in large quantities, which meant that millions of rams were slaughtered, and a large amount of mutton more than daily needs poured into the European market, causing a big jump in the price of mutton. At the same time, the Germans had to switch to special shoe-shine cloths suitable for cold regions, as well as fuel for use in severe cold regions. Based on this judgment, the "GRU" pays close attention to the movements of the sheep producing areas in Europe, collects and sorts out the number of rams in various places, the main distribution centers and slaughtering centers, and the director of the "GRU" Grikov listens to the price of rams in various parts of Europe twice a day. Soviet intelligence agents also painstakingly collected shoe-shine cloths used by the German army, and smuggled large quantities of kerosene lamps, kerosene stoves, lighters, and other items. Until the eve of the war, no anomalies were found in the "GRU", there were no unusual fluctuations in sheep prices, and there were no changes in the recipe of shoe polish and fuel. Based on the above, although Glickoff knew about the large-scale build-up of the German army, and even knew the code name of the German operation, he assured the Politburo that the German army was not ready for war. As a result, just 10 hours later, the all-out German offensive began. Hitler had no intention of dragging the war against the USSR until the winter, and the mistakes of the "GRU" cost the USSR dearly.

"I love the loot you gave me." Zhukov glanced at Ye Chuchu, Sun Hui knew that Ye Chuchu gave Zhukov the carved "Varsa P38" pistol captured from the dead German Major General Walter, and he estimated that Zhukov might give Ye Chuchu a return gift now.

"I'm glad you liked it, Comrade General." Ye Chuchu said calmly.

"This is my pistol." Zhukov glanced at Sun Hui meaningfully, untied a "Tokarev" pistol he was carrying, and handed it to Ye Chuchu, "This is what I used when I was the commander of the 4th Cavalry Division, and my name is engraved on it." Now I'm giving it to you. I think you understand how to use it. ”

"Thank you, Comrade General."

Ye Chuchu stepped forward and solemnly took Zhukov's pistol.

"I'll fly back to Moscow in a moment to report to Comrade Stalin." Zhukov looked at the five of them and said, "I'll tell him about you before he sees the reports about you in foreign newspapers." If I'm right, he'll support you. ”

"Thank you very much, Comrade General." Sun Hui replied.

"Be careful with secrecy." Zhukov smiled slightly, and finally admonished.

Back at the station, Sun Hui and the girls secretly held a secret meeting in their room.

"We have successfully taken the first step of the long march." Sun Hui looked at the four girls and said happily, "We have to establish this army as soon as possible." ”

"But what are we supposed to do?" Ye Chuchu said, habitually frowning, "I originally thought that General Zhukov could give us a few people, even if it was a reconnaissance platoon like Captain Toltkin, but I didn't expect him to ask us to get people and weapons ourselves." ”

"Actually, it's better because we can pick the people and weapons we need." "It takes some time and effort, but it's more likely to succeed." ”

"The weapons are good, the Kirov factory has already said that they will give us a tank codenamed 'KV-220'." Xiao Tiantian said, "Brother Sun, do you know what kind of tank this is?" Is it easy to use? ”

"'KV-220' ah......" Sun Hui, who is a military fan, certainly knows the "KV-220" tank, "It's not bad." ”

As early as March 41, the Soviet High Command received information that the Germans had produced heavily armored tanks and had been equipped with troops, and the intelligence emphasized that the existing Soviet tanks and anti-tank guns could not penetrate their armor. In fact, this is another big oolong made by the "GRU", this information is completely false information from Germany, and none of it is true, and the Germans did not develop heavy tanks at all at this time. The "German Heavy Armored Tank" mentioned in the intelligence was actually a captured "Renault B1-bis" tank from France, which had 88 mm heavy armor. However, this information about "the new German tank has heavy armor" made the Soviet military top brass very worried, and decided to take countermeasures, formulating the parameters of the "KV-3" tank and the design requirements of the "KV-4" and "KV-5" super-heavy tanks.

The Soviet top brass demanded that the "KV-3" tank must have 120 mm of frontal armor and 90 mm of side protection, which was even more powerful than the German "Tiger" tank, which was almost a year late. The design required to increase the power of the gun, so the "KV-3" chose the Navy's "B-34" 107 mm naval gun, and improved it into the "ZIS-6" tank gun, this gun has a muzzle velocity of 800 meters per second, and the "UBR-420" armor-piercing projectile weighs nearly 19 kilograms, and can penetrate 167 mm of armor at a distance of 500 meters. In order to increase the angle of fire, the gun had a firing bevel of no less than 30 degrees in the turret.
