Chapter 237: New appointment

Hearing Pavlov’s words, Tukhachevsky shook his head: “No, Pavlov, your opinion is one-sided. Although there are various other factors, we should be able to see that all Mechanized equipment, mainly an army led by tanks, will greatly change our tactics."

"The positional warfare and trench warfare during World War I will disappear in the future." Tukhachevsky said: "The advanced mechanized equipment of the German team will bypass our well-arranged defense line and appear in our position. Only by relying on the great depth, we can block the opponent’s attack."

Tukhachevsky has been studying it all the time. When Germany began to form the first specialized armored division, Tukhachevsky was paying attention to the reform of the German army. He was keenly aware of the military Change is here.

During the First World War, it was mainly positional warfare. Everyone dug trenches and defended each other. It was really impossible to advance in the last year. However, if tanks were used to attack on a large scale, these could be avoided. The position could not cover all the places. Covered, the other party will go around at any time.

Just like this wonderful battle that has appeared on the Spanish soil, the Spanish government forces have no time to lay out more lines of defense.

The impact capability of the tank is too powerful, and the German Panther tank is also quite powerful.

In the future, once Germany and the Soviet Union go to war, how should the Soviet Union confront?

Of course it depends on the great depth! The Soviets have a vast territory. No matter how strong the impact of German mechanized equipment is, it will reach their limits in the vast Soviet Union.

These are all determined by logistics supplies!

Hearing Tukhachevsky’s words, Pavlov flushed and said: “Marshal, if the tank is not accompanied by infantry, it is a living target. Our tanks were all destroyed by the opponent’s anti-tank guns. I don’t recommend large-scale intensive use. In front of the opponent’s anti-tank guns, our tanks are simply vulnerable."

"That's because our tank is too backward." Tukhachevsky said: "The performance of the German Panther tank exceeds all our existing tanks, so we can't wait any longer, we must have more advanced The tank is based on the Panther tank that completely surpasses Germany!"

Although they didn't get a German Panther tank on the battlefield, they were able to figure it out through these time contacts.

"First of all, the protection of our existing tanks is too weak." Tukhachevsky said: "Our advanced tanks must resist direct fire from 37 mm artillery at close range, and at medium and long distances. The 75mm gun fired obliquely."

On the Spanish battlefield, the German 37mm anti-tank gun can beat its own T-26 to the ground. Therefore, the new tank must be able to block the direct fire of the 37mm gun!

At the same time, the German Panther tank has two calibers, 50 mm and 75 mm. This new tank can also carry 75 mm guns at long distances.

"At the same time, our new tanks must have more fierce firepower. I propose to use 76mm guns, which exceed the caliber of the German tanks." Tukhachevsky said: "As for maneuverability, it must be as good as the existing ones. It’s the same level as the fast tank, and it’s in line with our current road level."

There are dirt roads everywhere in the Soviet Union, and the conditions are much worse than in Europe.

Tukhachevsky is very determined. From the Spanish Civil War, he saw the huge power of the concentrated use of tanks. This will be a brand new combat style. The Soviets just don't have suitable tanks!

"Boom!" At this moment, the door was pushed open, and an officer strode in, his leather boots stepped on the floor, making a click.

Entered the conference room without permission, and it was so rude! Everyone expressed anger at the officer who came in.

"Marshal Tukhachevsky, you have a new appointment." The officer handed the letter of appointment to Tukhachevsky and said: "You have been removed from the post of the first deputy people’s commissar for national defense. Is the commander of the Volga Military Region."

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

how can that be?

Marshal Tukhachevsky did not make any mistakes and was demoted from the central government to the local area as the commander of the military region?

This news spread quickly, except for the personnel of the People’s Committee of National Defense and the General Staff, the whole army was shocked.

Tukhachevsky's face instantly turned pale, his hand, constantly pulling his clothes, looking at the appointment letter, he almost became angry, this is simply an insult to him!

………

"Stalin is about to attack Tukhachevsky." Sitting in the car, holding the documents he had just received, Cyric had a flurry of excitement on his face: "Stalin can't attack directly. He always has to make some momentum first. This is the beginning, and we just need to watch a good show!"

"Yes, this time, if the Soviet Union can carry out a major purge in the army, their army will suffer a heavy blow, and they will experience turmoil. For us, this is definitely good news." Hitler on the side followed Said.

The two were in the same car, and now they were on their way to Henel's company.

Hitler was in high spirits, Cyric had so many ideas in his mind, and every plan was so beautiful!

"Head of State, we are here." Finally, the car stopped in front of the Heinel Company building, the door opened, and Cyrek and Hitler got out of the car one after another.

This time I came to Henel Company for the final shape of the new intermediate power rifle!

"In this Spanish Civil War, we mainly used MP36 submachine guns. The use of this automated weapon, UU Reading , made our soldiers more confident in fighting with tanks. At the same time, it also exposed Many problems are different from the trench warfare of the First World War. Our submachine guns have to be extended to a kill range of about 300 meters, which is the best."

As he walked, Cyric explained to Hitler.

Hitler is a very paranoid guy. For example, he likes submachine guns very much. If you directly say that a new gun is called an assault rifle, then Hitler might slap your **** away, or slap the table on the street.

Now it is to improve the submachine gun. This reason is enough.

The submachine gun uses pistol bullets, because the recoil of the pistol bullets is small. If the rifle bullets are loaded directly, this type of gun fires continuously, except for the first bullet which has a precise head, the rest will have been shot. Moreover, the gunner can't stand this recoil.

However, the power of pistol bullets is quite low, especially, 200 meters away, there is no lethality. And the machine guns attached to the infantry squad were to take care of targets three to five hundred meters away, so there was a gap in firepower.

In other words, a middle-power rifle bullet is needed to fill the gap!
