Chapter 102: Persuasion

Due to the uncoordinated and heavy weight of the original transmission system, the "KV-1" series of tanks had poor mobility and exposed various problems in actual combat, so the "KV-1S" scheme was proposed, its armor thickness was reduced to 75 mm, the turret also became miniaturized, the weight of the whole vehicle was reduced by 5 tons, and a new type of gearbox was replaced. The most important feature of this tank is the relatively small turret, and a commander's control tower is added to the left side of the turret top to improve the commander's observation ability. And the commander no longer doubled as a loader, but was responsible for firing from the rear machine gun. However, because the designers did not set the commander's hatch on the conning tower, the commander had to use the turret hatch on the left side to lean out of the hatch, which was very inconvenient, and because the turret became smaller, the volume inside the tank became smaller, and the space in the car appeared to be somewhat insufficient. But thanks to these improvements, the maneuverability of this tank improved, and the maximum road speed reached 43 km / h.

Sun Hui was actually very happy to get his hands on the first "KV-1S" tank produced in the Soviet Union.

"Can you give me any advice on this war?" Zhukov was apparently satisfied with Sun Hui's professional answer, and asked him about his views on the war.

"Comrade General, I am just a gunner, and my understanding and grasp of the overall situation of the war cannot be compared with yours." Sun Hui replied, "But what I want to say is that if Hitler happens to appear in front of me, even if he is in the best German tank and defends him with the best German crew, I can also say to you that the war is over, Comrade General, because Hitler is finished." ”

Listening to Sun Hui's answer, Zhukov laughed.

"You are right, if this is the case, I can also say something like this to Comrade Stalin: do you know? Dear Comrade Stalin, the war is over, Hitler was killed by our lads and girls. It's a pity that the chances of this kind of thing happening are too small. ”

"But there's a guy who's about to appear in front of us." Sun Hui Zhengse said, "Killing this devil is as significant as killing Hitler, and it will deal the heaviest blow to the German fascists." ”

"Who are you talking about?" Zhukov was stunned.

"SS leader, Himmler." Sun Hui replied, "He will come this year to inspect the territory we have already fallen, and I hope you will seize this opportunity to kill him, because for for he is the most dangerous enemy for us." ”

Sun Hui said, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and presented it to Zhukov.

Zhukov was so impressed by the Nazi Eagle emblem on the paper that he handed it to an officer who knew German, who immediately translated it for him.

This is a transcript of Himmler's speech to the senior SS generals on the eve of Operation Barbarossa, which points out that the SS also had a "special mission" in the war.

“…… This is an ideological war and a racial struggle. On our side is a just, equal, orderly and completely civilized world, which is the world that we Germans deveal. On the other side is a world of 180 million people of different races, whose names are unpronounceable, and whose physique makes it possible to shoot them to the ground without mercy or mercy. When you fight in the lands of the East, you have to fight against the inferior peoples, who used to use the names of the Huns, the Tatars, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, and now they use the names of the Russians under the banner of the Bolsheviks. ”

This cold-blooded and prejudiced manifesto marked all SS divisions of Himmler with cruelty. For the SS, who had a racial mission, the war on the Eastern Front was their real war, a war without chivalry, only merciless killing, both for soldiers and civilians.

After listening to the officer's translation, Zhukov's face became a little gloomy.

"You captured this document from the enemy?" Zhukov asked.

"Yes, Comrade General." Sun Hui nodded, "We have destroyed many SS tanks, and we found it in a tank command vehicle '4'. ”

"You're right, this guy is a devil, we should kill him." Zhukov turned his head and looked at the map on the table, "But how do you know that he will come to our land?" How do we know where he is? ”

"He will come to inspect the results of his executioners, Comrade General, that is for sure." Sun Hui had no way of telling Zhukov that he had actually crossed over from the future, that he had read the "Himmler Diary", that he knew the exact date of Himmler's visit to the occupied Soviet territories, and that he had seen a photo of Himmler talking to the same Soviet boy as the SS general during the inspection.

"The GRU may be able to know exactly when and where he will come." Zhukov obviously moved Sun Hui, and seriously considered the feasibility of this matter, "What do you think I should do?" ”

"I want you to build a small elite force with planes and tanks, and when we determine Himmler's position, use this small force to break into the enemy's occupied area, launch an attack, and kill him directly." Sun Hui replied, "My partners and I very much hope to become members of this elite small army. ”

"I see what you mean," Zhukov leaned over to look at the map, looking a little excited, "it's a good idea to take out Himmler on our soil without having to mobilize several fronts to fight." ”

Zhukov straightened up and faced Sun Hui, "We can start with the establishment of a special tank platoon, and this matter will be handed over to you." May I? Youngster? ”

"I promise to get the job done! Comrade General! Sun Hui excitedly stood up from his chair, "However, I hope to get your official authorization." ”

"I'll give it to you." Zhukov smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "But until then, you and your buddies must survive, don't forget that you still have a special 'battle show', I don't want my best tank crew with the highest record to be gone before the mission even begins." ”

"I assure you, Comrade General, that such a thing will never happen." A smile of victory appeared on the corner of Sun Hui's mouth, and he stood up and gave a military salute to Zhukov, "I promise, you will see our most wonderful battle." ”
