Actually, you can't blame Feng for this. Bork.

Because as the commander of an army group, Feng . Bock was more concerned with the strategic side of things, and he was less likely to learn about a new piece of equipment, especially if it was just an individual weapon...... If it was a new tank, he would still be willing to find out.

So, von. Bock took it for granted that the MP43 was a submachine gun, and it was unthinkable to completely replace the rifle with a submachine gun in the troops.

So an hour later, Colonel Slane appeared with Qin Chuan and Colonel Conrad in the von . In Bock's command.

Feng. Bock glanced up at the three people standing in front of him while reviewing the documents, and when he withdrew his gaze, he noticed that one of them was wearing a knight's cross in the middle of his collar, and then looked at Qin Chuan with some surprise and asked, "...... are you?"

"Captain Flick, commander of the second company of the 1st Battalion, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied loudly.

At the beginning of Feng. Before Bock realized anything, he suddenly remembered something after a while, and tapped his finger in the void a few times, and asked, "You are the ...... 'Legendary Sergeant'?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Good!" Feng. Bock closed the papers, got up and walked up to a few people, raised the documents in his hands and asked, "You are all battle-hardened heroes, so please tell me why you decided to replace your rifle with a submachine gun without permission?" Do you think that the future battlefields will be like your battle at Holm? Guarding a line of ice and snow with a height difference of several meters, waiting for the Soviets to charge at you in groups? ”

"I beg your pardon, Your Excellency!" Listen to Feng. Colonel Slein, Bock, was a little unhappy with these words: "The battle of Holm is not at all as simple as you say, we still have to face a large number of enemy tanks, and we do not even have the necessary anti-tank equipment in our hands, we can almost say that we stopped them with our bodies and blood!" ”

Feng. Bock realized that he had lost his words when he heard this, that Holm was a national sensation, and that the battle was held by the media as a model of the unity and cooperation of the German army...... Soldiers from the 60 corps fought together there and finally won.

So Feng. It's a bit inappropriate for Bock to say that.

"I just want to know why!" Feng. "You guys are asking for bullets, submachine gun bullets, while we are desperately trying to replenish tanks and artillery!" ”

"Actually, it's not a submachine gun, Your Excellency Marshal!" Conrad replied, "That's our new gear, MP43!" ”

"And what is it?" Feng. Bock asked rhetorically.

Conrad couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't know if it would be a good thing to explain this matter too clearly, after all, they had "tricked" the Führer into producing this equipment by deception.

"It can also be said to be a rifle!" Qin Chuan replied: "A rifle that can fire continuously!" ”

Feng. Bock looked at Qin Chuan, then at Conrad, and then quickly became a little impatient.

"Whatever it is!" Feng. "I don't care about that, we need tanks more, understand?" Bock said. Tank! ”

"I beg your pardon, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan said: "What is the purpose of our need for tanks? ”

"What did you say?" Feng. Bock could not believe that a captain would dare to speak to him with such an attitude.

"It's just about winning, isn't it?" Qin Chuan said: "And our rifle, if used properly, may exert a stronger combat power than a tank and finally win, so why don't we?" ”

Feng. Bock couldn't help but laugh, and asked rhetorically with a face full of disdain, "You mean to ...... Will this rifle play a more important role than a tank? ”

"Maybe!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Can it block enemy bullets?" Feng. Bock asked.

"No, it can't!"

"Can it penetrate the armor of enemy tanks?"

"No!" Qin Chuan shook his head.

"Or it can blow up enemy bunkers!"

"Of course not!"

"So why can it play a more important role than a tank?" Feng. There was a hint of anger in Bock's tone.

"Because it brings us victory, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Good!" Seeing that Qin Chuan had been refusing to give in, Feng. Bock thought for a moment and said, "How about we make a bet, Captain?" ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, expecting that this bet would not be too simple, but now there seemed to be no way out, so he stepped forward and said, "I have no opinion, Your Excellency Marshal!" ”

Feng. Bock set his eyes on Colonel Slain, who glanced at Qin Chuan, and then stepped forward and said, "I have no opinion, Your Excellency Marshal!" ”

"Good!" Feng. Bock nodded and said, "If you win, I will give priority to your supply request, and not only that, but I will also provide you with more ammunition and supplies, but if you lose...... You know what to do, right? ”

Colonel Slain stepped forward and said, "We'll get the rifle back!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Feng. Bock answered, walked back to his desk, picked up his pen, signed a pass, handed it to Colonel Slain, and explained: "In three days you will be reporting with your troops to General Manstein, and perhaps you have heard that he is in trouble, as the Captain said...... If that rifle could play a more important role than a tank, you should be able to solve this problem, right? ”

Hearing this, Colonel Slain's eyes couldn't help but widen: "But Your Excellency Marshal ......"

"Are you going to give up?" Feng. Bock interrupted Colonel Slain.

Colonel Slain hesitated for a moment before replying, "No, Your Excellency, we are willing to try!" ”

"Good!" Feng. Bock said, "You can go!" ”

As soon as he walked out of the headquarters, Qin Chuan asked curiously: "What's the situation?" Is it troublesome? ”

"Of course!" Conrad interjected: "General Manstein's 11th Army is attacking the Crimean Peninsula!" ”

Hearing the Crimean Peninsula, Qin Chuan couldn't help but let out an "oh".

He certainly knew about this famous battle...... The Crimean Peninsula is located below Kiev, and the terrain is like a hook reaching into the Black Sea, that is to say, one side is followed by the mainland and the sea on three sides, which is an easy terrain to defend and difficult to attack.

More importantly, the Crimean Peninsula was located behind the German lines and had as many as three army groups...... A considerable part of the besieged Soviet troops fled to the Crimean Peninsula and put up stubborn resistance.

It is conceivable that if these Soviet troops are not eliminated, Army Group South will never be able to advance eastward with confidence, otherwise, the Soviet troops located on the Crimean Peninsula will launch a counteroffensive from behind at any time to sneak attack the rear of the German army.
