The 1st Mechanized Division of the NKVD has always been the best equipped in the Soviet Army, but the fierce fighting for more than half a year has also made this striking force less personnel and equipment than it was before the outbreak of war last year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Jun saw that the mixed unit brought by Fekochinov consisted of a tank company of 9 T34s, and although those infantry were still "fully mechanized infantry", they did not use ordinary wheeled trucks or tracked carriers produced by the Soviet Union itself, but brand-new M3 half-tracked armored personnel carriers.

Troops who are always ready to go to the front line, without ordinary trucks.

American goods, a large part of the American military aid went to the Northwest Front, like those jeeps. The equipment consumption of the first division is huge, the production of self-produced tracked transport vehicles is in short supply, and even units like the first division are already replenished with US military aid, and this is still a situation that the logistics department is taking care of.

Lin Jun is very satisfied with the rapid assistance of his old subordinates, this is the "real lineage"!

"It seems that it makes sense that Lao Jiang likes to use his lineage." I don't know what's going on, this thought flashed through Lin Jun's mind, "a little missing" the "old friend" who was thousands of miles away.

Fekochinov had ice flowers on his hat, and along the way, he kept urging the troops to speed up in an M3 command car, and contacted the air force to let them arrive in advance -- in the past few tens of minutes, the major general's heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot!

Now that he saw that everything was safe, he was relieved, and after reporting to Lin Jun, he said to Vatutin: "Hello, Comrade Chief of Staff. ”

Lin Jun motioned to Fekochinov to relax, but he didn't say anything nonsense like "just send a battalion commander", and the division commander comrade had his own measure.

Landscoch gave his good brother a bear hug, and gave a brief account of the battle, as well as some of the information obtained during the interrogation.

"Brother in the woods. This is the first time I have heard of reactionary guerrillas harassing transport convoys some time ago, but no attack of this magnitude has taken place. ”

"Marshal, what do you think of these prisoners being brought to me and left to me?" ”

"Panevez's troops will be there in another hour, you can leave some men and wait for them, hand over the prisoners to the troops behind, and you don't have to pay attention to the nationalists."

"Yes, Marshal."

Fekochinov immediately asked people to leave a platoon and wait for someone to come from the rear.

"Alyosha, you give the captives to the people behind you and give them an explanation. Tell them that the nationalists must be uprooted and completely eradicated. ”

"Marshal, then when will I return to the Guards."

Seeing the big man with an honest face, Lin Jun smiled: "In an hour." ”

Sometimes this big guy is really cute, and he has to figure out everything: but when he understands his intentions, he can send him to do anything.

"It is unimaginable that a guerrilla force of less than 100 people would dare to attack a convoy of our size." When Lin Jun walked towards the M3 arranged for him, Vatujing said.

"Maybe they didn't think about how strong our combat power was, and the military quality of these people was also poor. If regular German troops had set up an ambush here, we wouldn't have had such an easy time. ”

"However, nationalists must not underestimate that this is a cancer, and if it is not completely eradicated, the hidden dangers left behind will be endless!"

Boarding the seemingly bulky M3, the canvas seats were cold, and it felt a little bad that the top of the head was not covered, and I didn't even get the bow bracket and canvas cover on the top of the crew room, probably because it would affect the operation of the machine gun on the machine gun mount at the front of the crew room.

An M2HB plus a Browning M1919 7.62mm machine gun, this half-track personnel carrier is also armed to the teeth!

The canvas seats are not as good as the luxurious leather seats of his bulletproof car, but the steel plates around him are stronger than his own, which is safe enough - Fekochinov can't let the marshal drill the T34!

His "770K Boorman" bulletproof armored sedan was not damaged, but it needed to replace a few pieces of bulletproof glass and repaint - the glass on the left side was spent, and if it was shot again next time, it would be difficult for them to stop, and maybe the bulletproof steel plates on the doors would have to be replaced by two.

It's a bit of a disappointment for Lin Jun, the first time he dragged his car out of Moscow, it was like this, but it had to ask Hitler for a change!

The marshal got into the car, and there were armored vehicles on first-class alert in front and behind, driving towards Ukmergay - Lin Jun no longer cared about the fate of those prisoners: attacking the deputy commander of the Soviet Union was enough to shoot them ten times!

"Fekochinov, how much American equipment is your division equipped with now, and how is it being used?"

Lin Jun is shouting, his voice is loud enough, because this convoy is driving louder!

"For 60 half-track personnel carriers and those machine guns, ammunition and accessories carried with them, it is enough for 2 months for the time being."

"Marshal, these vehicles are okay, although they are not as good as our tracked troop carriers, but they have armor protection that our Gis-33 and Gas-65 do not have. And the machine guns, the large-caliber ones, were very useful and solid, but for the most part I had the repair shop dismantle them to support the defensive positions on the front line. ”

Fekochinov pointed to the M2HB: "It's very useful, it's best to suppress shots, the Germans don't have similar weapons, and they are often beaten passively at long distances." Our 12.7 mm machine guns are not available in sufficient numbers, and the Germans will not dare to strike at ultra-low altitudes. ”

However, it seems that Comrade Major General does not feel very good about the American M1919 machine gun: "This American machine gun is general, compared with our PKM, it is like a lump of iron, but it is still more popular when mounted on vehicles, but our fighters are not used to it." ”

In terms of design concept, this M1919 and PKM are "almost half a century apart", which of course will make the soldiers a little picky - but a machine gun is a machine gun, and this M1919 is not a good thing, and it can be regarded as a reliable weapon for killing enemies - it works!

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, two small transport planes landed at the Ukmergai field airfield within 20 minutes, and two 40-year-old middle-aged men in civilian clothes each got into a gas car, and their destinations were the headquarters of the 1st Division.

Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov and the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Lithuania, Antanas Yuozovich Snechkus, both born in 1902, the former was only a little more than a month older than the latter.

This time, both of them had come to report to the deputy commander-in-chief - the Kremlin had already called the two of them to reprimand them with the harshest reprimand for such an attack in the place where they were in charge!

When he received the news at the airport that Comrade Suslov, a member of the Military Council of the Front, had arrived first, Snechkus's heart sank!

(It's really Khan, I typed 1902 into 1942, and I was counting how old I was from birth in 02 to 42 in my mind, and I typed 42 years in a daze.) (To be continued.) )
