Lin Jun had never seen the "Maginot Line", but in his previous life, he had visited some fortresses left by the Japanese devils in the northeast, and now what he saw in front of him was not an empty ruins, but a truly heavily guarded fortified area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen from the dense barbed wire fence in the artillery mirror: the Finnish army not only laid ordinary barbed wire, but also tied hooves, entangled wires, barbed wire fences, serpentine lookouts and wire ramblings, and the famous wire obstacles were all in sight!

Lin Jun didn't think that the Finnish army was building a "barbed wire museum" here for fun, the seemingly messy layout, coupled with those damn anti-tank trenches and invisible minefields, was that those firepower points did not speak, and it would take half a day for the attacking tank troops and infantry to pass through these kilometers of deep territory.

To build such strong fortifications in all areas that can be observed by the other side of the border is a provocation in the eyes of a commander!

"The Finnish commander who set up this section of defense is a veteran." Removing his head from the eyepiece, he said to Debenko.

"The arrangers of this fortification probably saw the trench stations of the First World War, but the old tactics of 20 years ago and the strong fortifications became the best way to stop our armored forces."

Debenko is telling the truth, no tank can rush through this deadly defensive area, the anti-tank guns in the opposite firing point and the mines buried in the soil are not decorations, and the high-speed mobility and strong assault of the armored forces are useless here.

But every business has its drawbacks - even the strongest fortifications are just waiting to be bombed!

Concentrate a sufficient number of heavy artillery clusters to bombard the same area, these minefields and anti-tank trenches will be finished, those permanent firepower points are not indestructible, and the same effect can be achieved with large-scale bomber group bombing, no matter how this is not a mountainous area, as long as a little bit is broken, once the first-line defense of the Finnish army is opened, this chess will be considered alive.

"Firepower, still firepower."

By this time the sky was starting to get overcast and it was about to rain.

The summer showers come and go quickly, and the vision becomes blurred under the cover of the heavy rain, which makes Lin Jun grasp something in his mind: "How many compass arrows do you have equipped?" ”

He asked the commander of the border company.

"I have one in the company."

"Just one?"

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

This is the problem that Lin Jun thought of: at present, the number of compass equipment of the front-line troops of the Soviet army is seriously insufficient, and many infantry units do not even have first-class units!

As a pilot, the requirements for a sense of direction are stronger than anyone else's, but the more than 1,000-kilometer border north of Su Fen is basically a forest area, if he is thrown there in the long winter of the dark night, Lin Jun will not be able to find the north for a while: in the frozen taiga, you have no sun, moon and stars as a direction guide, and the so-called canopy stumps guide the direction in the forest area where visibility is often extremely bad (the polar night plus the ice fog caused by the severe cold. It doesn't work at all.

Only the most experienced forest hunters and lumberjacks would not lose their way in such a situation, Lin Jun did not have this ability, and ordinary Red officers and soldiers did not have this ability. History tells Lin Jun that many Soviet troops were annihilated by the Finnish army because they lost their way, not to mention the delay of fighters and accidental injuries due to the inability to discern the direction.

After returning to Moscow this time, Lin Jun had something to do: to give the following factories an order to step up the production of a batch of military compasses.

In addition to being able to indicate the direction, the current Soviet military portable compass can also measure the distance, calculate the time and speed of the army, determine the slope and approximate height of the target slope, and is a good assistant for marching and fighting.

"I will get a batch of compasses for your military region as soon as possible, and distribute the equipment to the troops as soon as it arrives, strive to bring the equipment to the platoon-level units, and teach the soldiers the correct way to use them. Equipment is meant to be used, and it can't just be moldy in the warehouse. ”

Lin Jun's first sentence was addressed to the commander, and the latter sentence was addressed to everyone here: the Soviet army often stored some precision equipment in the warehouse, but when needed, not many people could use it skillfully, and it became a useless ornament. Lin Jun does not ask every soldier to be proficient in using the functions of the compass, the objective conditions are there, it is impossible to equip everyone with one, even if it is not commonly used in assault classes, it will forget to use the method, such as calculating the height and slope and other mathematical methods without professional training, it is difficult for fighters with a low level of education to remember, but at least they can figure out which direction is north.

"Don't worry, I will give an order to let the grassroots below be proficient in the use of equipment."

It's a trivial matter to find your way to the Karelian Isthmus, and the Finnish machine guns and artillery will tell you where the north is, but no one will tell you the direction in the wooded areas to the north. Lin Jun's words relieved Debenko's urgent need: even Comrade Andrei could think of this kind of small equipment, and it seems that the phrase "give what you need" is genuine.

"More than 20 kilometers ahead is the second defensive zone of the Finnish army, and it is also the strongest defensive zone in their entire defense line, do you have any good way to break through that defense line?"

On the way back, Lin Jun asked.

"You often talk about attacking in winter, and the cold weather is not good for us, and the same is true for the Finns, so that we can break through their main defensive zone in the same way that we can deal with the first line of defense."

There is something that Debenko does not say, but anyone who has read the map can understand: 20 kilometers beyond the border is a dense lake area, and the main defense zone of the Finnish army is built on the north side of the lake by relying on the favorable terrain of the lake area, and the large and small lakes are mostly connected to each other as a natural barrier for the Finns. If the offensive was launched in the summer, when the Soviets were accustomed to attacking, the army would not have much trouble breaking through the first line of defense, but once they reached the Lake District, they would be dry-eyed, not to mention the dense swampy terrain, and the only few road passages were the focus of the Finnish defense. But the harsh winter was different, and the glacial lakes that the tank units could pass through were no longer allies of the Finns, and the tanks of the Soviet heavy artillery could pass through the lakes and swamps.

On 15 June, Lin Jun returned to Moscow after completing his inspection of Leningrad, where yesterday he had already signed an order for the production of 20,000 sets of standard compasses, of which 5,000 sets would be supplied to the Leningrad Military District on a priority basis.

The production of the compass is not a big problem, it is estimated that the existing production enterprises can be completed in three months at most, and the problem of direction can be solved quickly, but there is still a big problem in Moscow that Lin Jun needs to solve - Stalin wants to expand the army.

The expansion of the army is a good thing, you must know that when the Soviet-German war broke out, most of the division-level units of the Soviet army were not full, resulting in a serious lack of combat effectiveness, but this time Stalin seemed to think about the situation too optimistic, Lin Jun thought of a term when he learned of the preliminary plan for the expansion of the army: ******!

Another 20 mechanized corps will be built, each with more than 1,000 tanks. The Air Force needed to purchase 25,000 new combat aircraft, such as the MiG-1 and Yak-1, to replace the old fleet, any of which far exceeded the capacity of the Soviet economy and industry.

"Comrade Stalin, this plan simply does not work."

Stalin asked Lin Jun's opinion, and he was in the head with a basin of cold water.

"Why? Aren't you the staunchest supporter of military expansion? ”

"Comrade Stalin, our army's strongest full-strength tank army at present is an establishment of about 600 tanks, and the mechanized army's demand for 1,000 tanks is somewhat out of reality, and judging from the preliminary plan, it is impossible to complete the assault production of 20,000 new tanks."

Lin Jun, who was familiar with the production capacity of the grassroots, had a real say in the matter of letting some guys who could only write written documents: as soon as he put the actual production capacity of all the Soviet tank factories there, Stalin had to think carefully again.

KV-1 by the end of this year, the maximum monthly output is about 100 vehicles, and the T34 will not exceed 300 vehicles at most, if you want to follow the preliminary expansion plan, then you need to immediately turn the national economy into a state of war regardless of the consequences, but according to Lin Jun's view, what we need to do now is to gradually start preparing for the coming of war, rather than a "******" all at once, the side effects will be unbearable.

The production of tanks is already like this, and even more so of combat aircraft: everything can only be done by gradually increasing production capacity, which is more realistic from the point of view of the development and transformation of the entire industrial system.

"Comrade Stalin, we still have at least two to two and a half years left to deal with the possible outbreak of war, and according to the current production growth targets, we will already have extremely powerful technical and equipment forces, and it will be bad to make a rapid leap forward unrealistically, not to mention that the quality of equipment cannot be guaranteed, and the entire industrial system may also develop in a deformed direction."

"Andre, only you dare to say that."

Stalin was building an invincible army, and only Lin Jun dared to spoil him like this.

Lin Jun smiled stupidly, "I have a relatively practical method for expanding the army here, which can not only greatly strengthen the combat capability of our army, but also reasonably stimulate the development of the military industry." ”

To deny something, you have to come up with a more reasonable and convincing solution. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
