This test soon alarmed the steel comrades in charge of the military industry and logistics, and when he came in person and saw that the monstrous monster could rumble forward and backward without hindrance in the face of several machine gun fire on the test ground, he immediately got carried away and cried out, "This is the weapon we need, it will become the most powerful iron fist of the Soviets!" ”

The performance of the mass-produced type was much better than that of the experimental type, because the failure rate of the tractors produced by the Soviet Union was too high, and Comrade Iron and Steel licensed a batch of new crawler tractors imported from China to be refitted, which greatly improved their reliability. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Comrade Steel's preference for firepower has greatly strengthened the armament of the mass-produced tank, which not only has two machine guns installed, but even a 37mm main gun!

And its armor protection is also quite good, more than 30mm thick alloy steel plate allows it to basically ignore the attack of high-explosive shells within 105mm caliber, as for armor-piercing shells? At the moment when tanks have not yet appeared, even if the enemy brings some counter-fortifications, the number will not be much, not to mention that the army artillery generally lacks experience in attacking moving targets, so the threat is limited.

In addition, the characteristics of diesel engine power inherited from Chinese tractors, low speed and high torque, are naturally more suitable for tanks than gasoline engines, and its performance not only far surpasses the world's first tank developed by the British in history - Mark 1, but even the Renault tank that has been relatively mature in design after World War I.

If you have to find a flaw, it is that the speed is not fast enough, due to the addition of weapons and armor after the load has increased significantly, its maximum driving speed can only reach more than 20 kilometers / h, and if it is off-road driving, it is not easy to drive to 15 kilometers per hour.

At this rate, it was more than enough to keep up with the infantry, but when the Instructor had assigned it to the most elite Budyonny cavalry front, it could barely keep up on the march, but once the cavalry charged, it could only drag behind for fire support, and could not play the assault role it was supposed to play.

But even so, the first batch of 20 pre-produced Antonov-1 (named after the inventor) "armored tractors" played a huge role, and in the face of such "mobile fortresses", the fierce offensive of the German army was almost like rushing to death. Although the Germans eventually blew up almost all of these tanks (in fact, they all blew up, and "almost" because a few of them broke down and lay down on the road, but they escaped as a result...... But before that, tens of thousands of German officers and soldiers had already died under the machine guns and artillery fire of the tanks, and because the planes had to drop to low altitudes to drop bombs, more than 100 German bombers were shot down by Soviet anti-aircraft fire, and the deal was a huge loss.

More importantly, the outstanding performance of these tanks on the battlefield as the mainstay consumed a lot of time of the German army, so that the delusion of the two German armies to destroy the Budyonny cavalry front and merge into one place was completely shattered, and as a result, not only was the German army in the middle road completely annihilated, but even the German army in the north was almost following in the footsteps, Rao saw the opportunity quickly, and also lost more than 100,000 people and more than half of the baggage, so that the Soviet army completely reversed the previous decline and began to turn from defense to offense.

After destroying the Germans in the middle of the road, Frunze's central front army group pursued the fleeing North Ludeshman army to the Baltic coast with little decent repair. However, what the German officers and men did not expect was that the naval superiority that had given their side strong protection in the last war against the Soviet Union was not fully manifested this time......

The reason is simple, since the last war suffered a big loss, the Russian Red Navy has always wanted to wash away the shame of its inability to do anything against the enemy's powerful fleet, and they have long found a feasible solution. In fact, before the last war ended, they had already found a way, but before they could produce results, the war was over, and it was only now that they finally wielded their power.

In the past few years, the Soviet Russian Red Navy has not built even a single large warship, but has frantically built torpedo boats and submarines in the form of assembly lines. By the time the war broke out again, the Russian Red Navy had more than 1,700 torpedo boats and more than 100 submarines, the former of which was the largest in the world, more than all other countries in the world combined.

The reason why the Red Navy of Soviet Russia invested more forces in building torpedo boats instead of submarines with better concealment was determined by the objective environment in the waters around Soviet Russia. The most important of the seas around Russia is undoubtedly the Baltic Sea, which Peter the Great always wanted to obtain is also the outlet to the Baltic Sea, and the value of the Arctic Ocean coast and the Black Sea coast is completely incomparable.

The reason is very simple, the exit of the Black Sea Bosphorus is in the hands of Russia's old enemy Turkey, unless Istanbul can be taken, otherwise this side of the sea is meaningless during the war, with the narrowness of the Bosphorus, even if the Russian Black Sea Fleet is stronger than the Turkish Navy, it will be difficult to successfully rush out, and as for the chance of a submarine sneaking out, it is infinitely close to zero......

As for the coast of the Arctic Ocean, although there is an ice-free port in Murmansk, which can be called a miracle in the Arctic Circle, it is not always so convenient for ships to be hindered by the ice area after sailing from it. Moreover, if a submarine is used to attack from here, due to the limitation of the technical level, the endurance will become a big problem, and all the models in service of the Red Navy cannot reach the key shipping lanes of any of the major European powers, so the most important task of the submarine -- breaking diplomatic relations -- cannot be completed at all, and the value will naturally be greatly reduced.

Although the Baltic Sea is an open sea and is located closer to the heart of Europe, the islands and reefs here are dense and the water depth is shallow, which makes it difficult for submarines to conceal at all, and it is easy to run into the reef and be shipwrecked, so it is even more difficult to use.

However, such an environment is very conducive to the development of torpedo boats, as long as there are sufficient numbers, even if there is a large fleet like in the last Great Patriotic War, and the Baltic Fleet of the Red Navy can pose a considerable threat to it if it uses torpedo boats well. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Li Hui, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, also transferred the oxygen torpedo technology of the Japanese Navy in history, which had a mixed reputation, to Soviet Russia, and it was also optimized, which solved the two problems of oxygen torpedo being easy to deviate from the course during navigation, and the fuse was too sensitive and often detonated by the waves in advance, and the attack efficiency was increased by no less than ten times......
