Chapter 33: Became the main force

"Brother Sun, I don't know if it's my delusion, how do I think that your combat quality is much better than these Soviet Red Army?" Ye Chuchu asked with a smile.

"They feel like guerrillas......" Xiao Tiantian also agreed with Ye Chuchu's opinion, "but it also seems to be very bad......

"If it weren't for the 'Great Purge', the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army would not have dropped to this extent." Sun Hui said, "In fact, you have all seen that in terms of weapons and equipment, the Soviet army is not worse than the Germans, and some tanks are even much better than the Germans, but the quality of personnel has declined too much, and no matter how good the weapons are, they will not be effective." ”

The girls did not know that the fighting power of the Red Army was not as strong as they had thought in the past. In the Soviet-Finnish Winter War, the Soviet troops, who had absolute superiority over the Finnish army, were dragged for 4 months. It was only after paying several times the cost of the enemy's casualties that the Red Army barely won. The shortcomings of the Soviet army were exposed in this war, so to speak, and all this was seen by the Germans. It is said that the documentary of the Soviet-Finnish war became a tool for the amusement of Hitler and his generals. Enraged, Stalin rebuked Marshal Voroshilov, People's Commissar of Defense. The Civil War hero, who was poorly educated, knew nothing about modern warfare, was said to be only good at pistols, and spent a lot of time smiling at the camera, but his retort when attacked by Stalin was not nonsense: "You can only blame yourself for all this!" You are the one who wiped out the older generation of the Red Army, and our best generals were killed by you! "In the purges launched by Stalin, the Red Army lost all its commanders of military districts, 90 percent of its deputy commanders and chiefs of staff, and 80 percent of its divisional commanders. A third of the regimental commanders were blamed, middle and junior officers suffered heavy losses, technicians were not spared, and 5,616 pilots were purged in the Air Force alone. The foundations of the army were greatly damaged. In order to make up for these losses, which were simply irreparable in the short term, a large number of low-ranking officers were promoted by skipping ranks. Yesterday's platoon commander became a regiment commander, and a battalion commander became a division commander or even a corps commander. After only six months of military training, a large number of "crash platoon commanders" from various crash courses also flooded the army. At the beginning of 41, only 7.1% of Soviet commanders had a higher military education, 55.9% had an intermediate education, 24.6% had graduated from a crash course, and the remaining 12.4% had no military education at all.

After being rescued from the battlefield by the Soviet guerrillas, the "521" car crew fought side by side with the guerrillas and some regular Soviet army units, trying to recover the fortress known as "Karava-Eastleg", in the process of fighting, Sun Hui finally saw how much the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army had declined in the early days of the Soviet-German war. So it is no wonder that Ye Chuchu has the impression that the combat quality of he, a newcomer to the battlefield, is stronger than that of the Soviet Red Army.

"That guy just now was still holding a rifle to fight a German tank." Wang Linlin also laughed, "If it weren't for Brother Sun knocking that German tank away with one shot, he would have died." ”

Sun Hui saw Ulannorasov standing there stupidly in the scope, and recognized him as a lieutenant from the military uniform on his body, and couldn't help grinning.

These officers and men of the Soviet army did not lack courage in the face of a formidable enemy, but sometimes, courage alone was not enough.

At this moment, Sun Hui couldn't imagine what kind of intersection he would have with this Soviet officer in the future.

At this time, the leader of the partisan detachment, who had arrived with the "521" crew, stepped forward and pulled Ulano Lasov aside, and began to talk to him, presumably to understand the situation of the battle, and after a while, the leader of the partisan detachment took Ulano Lasov onto the tank and knocked on the turret with the butt of his rifle.

Wang Linlin opened the top of the turret and leaned out, the guerrilla leader said a few words of Russian to her, she nodded, shrank down, and happily said to her companions in the car: "We have an interpreter, and the officer knows Chinese." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Sun Hui was also very happy to hear this, Wang Linlin's understanding of Russian was limited, and the members of the "521" car group and the guerrillas along the way were all communicating with each other, and sometimes they would make mistakes, and now this trouble finally does not exist.

When Ulanolasov saw Wang Linlin, he was immediately shocked by her beauty, and the guerrilla leader patted him on the shoulder, and he came back to his senses.

"Don't be like that, comrade, it's very rude for you to behave like this." The leader of the guerrillas laughed, "You must know that this is the 'Oriental Beauty God' crew, and four of the five members are beautiful girls. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ulanorasov blushed a little and said in fluent Chinese, "I didn't know how it ......."

"Okay, what do we do now? Homosexuals? Ye Chuchu spoke in the tank, indicating her identity as the commander.

"Oh, that's right, the Germans are rushing in from here, and I'm here on the orders of the captain to help the guards, and wait for my own men to arrive, as you have just seen...... It was a barracks, it was occupied by the enemy, and I thought that if we could launch a counteroffensive from here, we would be able to drive the enemy out of the barracks and recapture the ammunition depots and grain depots......" said Ulanorasov, adding his own thoughts, the captain did not ask him to do it, but he thought that it should be done, although it was tantamount to a false military order, and if the NKVD knew about it, he would be punished. But now he only had the thought of striking the enemy.

"Understood." Ye Chuchu turned his head to Sun Hui and said, "Brother Sun, what do you think?" ”

"Let's push it over." Sun Hui carefully observed the situation and said, "The people who told them to follow the tank and pay attention to cover." ”

Ye Chuchu told Ulan Norasov what Sun Hui requested, and Ulan Norasov nodded, got off the tank with the guerrilla leader, gathered the soldiers here, and prepared to attack.

Seeing the "KV-1" heavy tank taking the lead, the Soviet soldiers and partisans were all demoralized, and just as they were gathering, they only heard a "boom", and a cannon shot came from the barracks in the distance, flew over the "KV-1" tank, shot straight into a house and exploded, accompanied by black smoke into the air, and the whole house collapsed with a bang.

"It's terrible! Was it the 88-mm guns of the Germans? Ye Chuchu was taken aback and asked.

"It's not! The power of the 88 gun is not so great, what came just now was a grenade, this is a large-caliber howitzer! Be careful, everyone! Sun Hui said in a deep voice, quickly turning the turret, searching for the location of the opponent's artillery.
