Having sorted out the issue of the stationing of troops, Koval breathed a sigh of relief. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the battlefield, you must not be careless, and you may be able to get away with it once or twice, but if the troops develop this habit of laziness, there will be more flaws.

Koval continued his walk deeper into the forest, on the edge of a small pond, with a few simple tents set up, and a few doctors in white coats were busy.

Koval motioned to Majevsky, who immediately put down the bags of food he had brought with him.

Koval visited the wounded soldiers one by one, and could do nothing about their suffering, but asked Majewski to give each of them a cigarette and candy.

In front, Ivanovsky also stood there.

"Hey! What happened to you? Koval asked, walking over to him.

"A little bit of a wound." Ivanovsky said with a shrug.

Koval looked at the white cloth belt that bound his arm with a little blood oozing from it, and immediately knew in his heart that his injuries were not light.

"Come with me!" Koval said with a gentle tap on his other shoulder.

"Today, your artillery fought very beautifully! It was perfect! Koval said earnestly, standing under a large tree.

"But the losses of our artillery battery are also very significant!" Ivanovsky said: "One artillery crew was reimbursed for all the guns brought by men, and another artillery crew was lying in the field hospital, and I almost lost an arm. If it were to do it again, the artillery battery could be canceled. Sir, I am simply crazy to set up an artillery position so close to the enemy! ”

Placing the artillery positions so close was his own strong request, and Koval knew in his heart that Ivanovsky was complaining about himself.

"I'm so sorry!" Koval whispered, "But if I had to do it again, I would definitely make the same choice." ”

"Why?" Ivanovsky said angrily.

"I need to win, our troops need to win. In every battle, someone dies, and I can only choose the option with the least sacrifice. Koval patted the trunk of the big tree and said firmly: "Artillery is known as the god of war, but on the entire Eastern Front, we don't have many qualified artillery units. These recruits who have just learned to fire artillery, if they are allowed to fire at the extreme distance of the artillery, God knows where they will shoot the shells! Even if we have a 105mm cannon, but if it does not hit the enemy, it is equal to nothing. ”

"In order to bring out the power of our artillery, we must put it at a relatively close distance, so that we, the novice artillerymen, can exert the power of the god of war in our hands. If they can hit the target at a distance of five thousand meters, I will never move them to a distance of one thousand meters. At the time of the river crossing, every minute our soldiers fell in the middle of the river. Without the close fire support provided by our artillery, our losses would have been much greater, and we might even have failed to cross the river. And we don't have so much shells wasted, although I don't ask for one shell for one target, but we can't fire 100,000 shells in an hour, as on the Western Front. Every shell is the wealth of our country, and we cannot afford to waste it! Koval patiently explained.

"!" Ivanovsky angrily punched the trunk of the tree, leaned his head on the trunk and was silent: Koval has said it so clearly and clearly, then today's situation is by no means his idea for a while, but the principle that he must adhere to the use of artillery in combat, and will use artillery in the future.

But Ivan had no way to refute Kovar, and there was no victory without sacrifice.

The two of them stood silently, but they both knew what they didn't say to each other.

After a while, Koval said: "We and Soviet Russia are two poor ghosts, and poor ghosts can only have the style of poor ghosts. Believe me, I will definitely find their relatives and compensate them. ”

With a little tear in his eyes, Ivanovsky said with a wry smile: "Only you, a poor ghost, can think of such a fight!" ”

Koval's principle of using artillery was to use artillery and enemy artillery and heavy fire points to exchange fire, and then use infantry to attack. The only disadvantage of this method is that the artillery losses will be very large. But Koval had expected it.

As long as you win a battle, you can always capture some artillery to replenish it. And those guns that have been blown up can continue to be used even if they are partially repaired.

As for the types of artillery, it doesn't matter, a thousand meters of direct aiming, are you afraid that you can't hit accurately?

As for the fact that the damaged artillery does not have a long lifespan, it doesn't matter, a thousand meters in front of the enemy's formation, there will never be a chance for you to hit the cannon until the barrel bursts! Within five shells, either the enemy was killed or we were killed.

This use of artillery was also Koval's helpless move, although it was a little cruel to the artillery, but it could greatly reduce the losses of the infantry and greatly improve the ability of the troops to attack the fortifications.

In World War II, the Soviet Union's use of artillery embodied such a principle.

For the first time in the Soviet-Finnish War, the Soviet Union fired large-caliber artillery 500 meters in front of the reinforced concrete fortifications built by the Finns, and fired straight ahead, destroying the Mannerheim Line, which Finland leaned on as the Great Wall. The artillery also suffered heavy losses, but the infantry did not have to repeat the repetition of the Finns' fortifications.

In the Soviet-German battle, the Soviet troops suffered heavy losses in the German surprise attack, and experienced artillery became very scarce, and they immediately increased the production of rocket artillery. This weapon was simple to operate, did not require too high accuracy, pursued powerful surface kill, and also masked the weakness of the lack of Soviet artillery talent.

In Japan in the Far East, the Japanese also pursued the single-shot accuracy of the infantry according to the characteristics of their country's lack of raw materials such as steel. For this reason, no attention is paid to the production of automatic weapons such as submachine guns, which is overkill and limited by conditions.

In Koval's mind, in the whole future of the wave war, his use of artillery will be this kind of use of them as consumables produced on the assembly line, using them to fight out the enemy's artillery and machine gun firepower, and create opportunities for infantry attacks.

After the end of the Bospeed War, Koval had in mind that the construction of artillery should be to combine the advantages of both Germany and the Soviet Union, and to pay attention to the power of artillery precision shooting and to face up to the fact that artillery is a consumable. In peacetime, we should cultivate a group of artillery talents who can shoot accurately as trump cards on the battlefield, and at the same time expand the production of rocket artillery. Once the war began, the newly formed artillery units were all equipped according to the standard of consumables, so as to achieve equal emphasis on quality and quantity.
