The "advanced tank-tank coordination tactics" developed by Malashenko are actually basically equivalent to a simplified version of the infant-tank coordination tactics of later generations in the 21st century. However, the combat effectiveness of light weapons has been somewhat emasculated due to limitations of objective conditions.
If you don't have an assault rifle, you can only use the Bobosha top. The semi-automatic rifle actually plays the role of the team's precision shooter.
Without optics, the accuracy is not enough, so a Bansai two semi-automatic rifles can be used to make up for the quantity. The squad light machine gun is retained and is used by the DP28. After firing a shot and pulling the bolt, there is only a range advantage but no firepower suppression advantage.
Mosin Nagant was collectively dismissed and replaced.
All in all, Malashenko wants to absolutely emphasize the firepower output capability of the infantry squad in medium and close combat, to completely overwhelm the Germans in terms of firepower and create a powerful suppressive effect on them.
Paired with a large number of tank clusters as long-range direct-aimed heavy fire support, Malashenko's somewhat advanced tactics were successful, and no weak points could be caught by the Germans.
"Well, that makes sense, Comrade Marshal. I basically agree with your view, which is consistent with my own personal thoughts."
"At present, all the tank divisions of our Red Army, except for the 1st Stalin Guards Tank Division, are far from mechanized. Not to mention tanks and armored vehicles, many tank divisions do not even have enough cars, and they have to use mules to transport ammunition and supplies.
Horses, some newly formed second-line tank divisions and even tank shells are carried by mules and horses of the baggage troops. This is an objective reality that must be paid attention to."
Not every army has an almost completely mechanized configuration like Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. After all, this is the only elite ace unit named after its leader.
Not only are the number of other Red Army tank divisions not as luxurious as Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, but they also have insufficient trucks to transport supplies. It is simply unrealistic to imagine Malashenko doing this. This kind of magic modification has been around since the 21st century.
A simplified version of the infantry-tank coordination tactic can currently only be used by Malashenko's Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division.
Therefore, although Malashenko improved his troops to become more powerful and killed German soldiers until they howled like ghosts and wolves, this tactic was only of reference significance and could not be promoted on a large scale.
If it were in peacetime and there was no war, we could create a few more pilot units and slowly build model units bit by bit. But now is a wartime, and the Red Army, whose goals are all aligned with winning the war, has no time or money for the time being.
Ability to do these very innovative things.
This is the same as Malashenko knowing that infantry fighting vehicles are more effective when paired with tanks, but never mentioned it at all. The Soviet Red Army during wartime was basically not interested in anything that was too innovative.
This is exactly the opposite of the gang across the street who always like to make inventions and fancy gadgets.
After talking about the new tactics invented by Malashenko, Vatutin suddenly thought of another equally important thing that he had not yet told Zhukov.
"One more thing, Comrade Marshal Malashenko used a latest type of... uh, what's that thing called in the previous battle? Oh, by the way, it's called an assault rifle.
This is the right name for a small weapon."
"Malashenko equipped all these new assault rifles in the combat engineer battalion of his infantry regiment. In a previous raid, these new guns were used together to carry out counter-assaults against the German infantry.
"
"Just one wave of offensives directly defeated the numerically superior enemy. An entire regiment of German infantry was almost wiped out within an hour. This was a defensive battle rather than an offensive battle. The results can be said to be astonishing."
"Soldiers who have used this new assault rifle have also spoken highly of it. They believe that this new gun has the power of a rifle and the rate of fire of a submachine gun, and its comprehensive suppression capability is not even inferior to that of a light machine gun. There are always soldiers who like to joke that if our Red Army
It would be great to be able to equip one person with a light machine gun, and now this new gun seems to have done just that."
"Um?"
Zhukov, who had just returned to the front line from Moscow, heard about the so-called new gun and the description given by Vatutin for the first time.
It is not a trivial matter for frontline troops to use new guns, not to mention that these new guns are equipped for elite units such as Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. Zhukov was puzzled for a moment as to why he had not heard anything about such an important thing before.
He said, and then asked Vatutin with a puzzled look on his face.
"Wait a minute, Vatutin. This new gun you are talking about... well, it is called an assault rifle. Why have I never heard anything about it, whether in Moscow or on the front line? National Small Arms Competition
The winning work should not have such a thing. If there is such an innovative light weapon, I think I should have some impression. What is going on?"
Malashenko, who had almost exhausted all the ammunition he had in hand in the first battle, was really panicked. Previously, Comrade Ma was thinking of fighting a few more battles and picking the best one to report to the superiors.
, strive to use real evidence-based real battle examples as strong support for the mass production of AK.
But in the final analysis, Comrade Ma really underestimated the ammunition consumption rate of assault rifles.
Kotin went through the back door and asked an acquaintance to use the "false name" of experimental new vehicle-mounted light weapons to produce a batch of intermediate-power rifle ammunition from the Tula Arsenal according to the design indicators and parameters given by Malashenko. Just one fierce battle was enough.
Nearly 70% of them were destroyed.
Seeing that he had run out of ammunition and had no place to replenish it, Malashenko became angry and had no other choice but to report this relatively good battle to Vatutin.
Judging from the final battle results, the combat engineer battalion rushed into the battle with less than one-third of the German troops, and then ended the battle at the cost of less than one-tenth of the enemy's casualties, ending in victory.
The only drawback is that the ammunition consumption of the combat engineer battalion in this battle is equivalent to the ammunition consumption of 4 ordinary infantry battalions. This is undoubtedly a very terrible number.
Firstly, the rate of fire of assault rifles has indeed reached a level of qualitative change that is completely different from bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic rifles. Secondly, this is the first time that the soldiers of the Combat Engineer Battalion have participated in large-scale actual combat with assault rifles.
, many soldiers just want to be happy for a while, hold the trigger and never let go, rushing forward crazily all the way.
Many German soldiers were shot five or six times and fell to the ground when they were beaten into a hornet's nest. The death was so miserable that almost the entire upper body and torso were beaten to pieces. People who could have been killed with one shot became
