Chapter 541: ZIS-2 (I)
"These ......" Andre gritted his teeth and walked out of the headquarters, it was early morning, Andre had just received his mission for today, which made him quite unhappy, and he knew very well that this was just the beginning, and he would be even more troubled in the future.
As for why Andriy can be so upset, it also depends on the task he got - in order not to repeat the mistake of Oger yesterday, Andre himself will solve this matter today, but what André didn't expect is that yesterday's incident still had a certain impact on him, so that today's mission plan is not smooth.
On the one hand, although he held his position yesterday, the casualties of friendly troops were really not low, perhaps the captain reported to his superiors that Andrei was not satisfied, anyway, the superiors were not satisfied with Andrei's actions this time.
But on the other hand, and what makes Andre most angry, although his superiors are not happy with his actions, they also admit that his defense is successful, but this is not a good thing. In exchange for trusting him, Andrei was almost forcibly given a defensive task today, which in the words above means that he "does have a certain ability" in defense.
This is all, and those words of praise are just nonsense for Andre to take on this mission, both dissatisfied with his actions and affirming his ability at the same time, this two-sided reaction makes Andrei grit his teeth with hatred. If we comment from a more utilitarian point of view, it is to let Andre contribute without giving him the credit he deserves, although this is a time of war, but this extremely unfair treatment is not everywhere.
Andre knew that someone was definitely doing it, but he didn't want to pursue those people, after all, this kind of thing is like a weed, you cut a stubble, and another stubble will grow, there is no end to it. The current thing is to solve this task quickly, if it is completed well, it may be fine, on the contrary, they are likely to settle the old accounts with Andre, which will be a headache.
"A bunch of bastards, keep me waiting!" Andrei turned around and spat at the headquarters, and immediately strode away, but he didn't get nothing on this trip......
Since Andrei made the action himself, it is impossible to be completely passive, but you must know that even if Andrei forcibly accepts this kind of order, there is a certain price, and this price is the combat resources that Andrei fought for.
Since the other party mentioned the matter of the last battle to himself, it is natural for Andre to use this as a basis to launch his counterattack. First of all, Andre clearly told the other party that the reason why his damage in this battle was too large was mainly because he could command too few troops to be mobilized, although it was a coordinated operation of infantry and tanks, but the two sides were almost completely independent, so the proportion of casualties on both sides was completely unbalanced. So this time, he sought greater command from his superiors to meet his mobilization of the entire battlefield.
For the above, this is not a matter at all, because even if the division gives Andrei command, it is only temporary, and this will not have any impact on his follow-up, but if there are any major casualties among the infantry this time, it can be completely pushed on him. So, without much thought, the people in the command agreed to Andrei's request.
However, Andrei himself knew that this request was insignificant to them, so he had other requirements, and this was the issue of weapons that he was most concerned about. Also in the last battle, the reason for the large losses of the infantry was not all the responsibility of their tanks, but because the infantry themselves did not have much anti-tank ability, which led to a considerable number of infantry casualties when his tank squad took the initiative to defend against the enemy. So this time, Andrey asked them to provide some anti-tank armament.
For Andrei's request, the superiors seemed a little hesitant, although they knew that Andrei had a certain amount of truth, but they affirmed his basis, it was really cheap Andre, which was their original intention.
But at this time, someone whispered a few words on the side, and they nodded to each other, although Andre guessed that they didn't have any good intentions, but they were superiors after all, and they had to stand here and watch. But to Andrei's surprise, they agreed to Andrei's request without saying a word, agreeing to provide them with anti-tank guns to defend against enemy tanks, and the famous ZIS-2!
This overjoyed André, but he didn't show it in front of these stinky faces. And what he expected was that this mission was not simple, not a temporary defense of a position as before, but a complete defense of a position for two days, although the superior promised him a sufficient amount of fuel and ammunition, but Andrei firmly believed that it was impossible. Of course, this is not because his superiors are lying to him, but the speed at which Andre uses materials is really fast, and for the amount that is completely sufficient for the average team, he may not even be able to complete half of the task at times.
And in the end, Andrei's previous good mood because of ZIS-2 was all gone, and all that was left was to sulk, and after he gritted his teeth and listened to those people's nonsense, he immediately turned around and left. He had a hunch that if he delayed a little longer here, there would be more tasks.
Although the situation was not very good, Andre still explained it to the team truthfully after going back. Like last time, they don't have a combat map now, they can only observe it themselves after arriving at the location, but fortunately, this mission is not as urgent as last time, they have enough time to set up the formation, and after having temporary command, the infantry will try their best to obey Andrei's command, and then it will be easier to have a coordinated operation, as for the matter of two consecutive days, Andrei did not take it to heart, after all, this kind of thing is not the first time.
After listening to the brief introduction of the mission and Andrei's experience, the team members were a little dissatisfied, and unanimously believed that this was the superiors who were messing with them, and this mission was likely to be more difficult than it sounded, although they were not afraid of a commander like Andrei, but they were also quite unhappy.
In order to alleviate this atmosphere, Andrei finally said something about ZIS-2, but did not expect that this was immediately questioned by someone...... (To be continued.) )
