Comrade Commander is very happy, even the happiest he has been in recent times, just in the past two days.
It is certainly a good thing to have a newer and stronger mass-produced version of TOS-1, which means that Malashenko has long felt that there are some insufficient rocket assault battalions under his hands, and finally can usher in a larger
The scale has expanded.
It is true that TOS-1 is Malashenko's division-level independent group fire support equipment. Under normal circumstances, it is also used intensively, with troops united in one place, to exert sufficient area and destructive firepower coverage on the enemy, and by the end of
At present, it has maintained an invincible and invincible state.
But Malashenko is convinced that all this will soon change in the upcoming Battle of Berlin.
At that time, TOS-1 will no longer act collectively according to Malashenko's vision, but will serve as a heavy direct fire support equipment, staying in a position with stronger firepower and more power than ISU-152, playing a local role.
ISU-152 couldn't figure it out, so he changed her role.
In a combat environment such as street fighting that is not conducive to cross-regional coordination, if we wait until a certain siege team encounters a problem before calling for support equipment to rush over, Malashenko can predict that it will probably be too late by then.
Just imagine how the TOS-1, a tracked heavy armored combat vehicle, can arrive as quickly as required within the "short time" that is traditionally understood as a tracked heavy armored combat vehicle while walking through the city and alleyways and facing a land full of ruins.
Destination, enter combat status and support the friendly units that call you.
Probably a lot of time, at least most of the time, will be wasted on the way to the destination.
Malashenko remembered how bad the "street scene" was during the Battle of Stalingrad. He said that it was the worst unfinished construction site ever seen in the 21st century. It would not be too much to make it ten times worse.
In that kind of situation, it is difficult for people to move, and the tanks have to be sent out by infantry, and they can move smoothly and quickly after special reconnaissance and planning of the route. Talking about rapid support of heavy equipment in this combat environment is pure nonsense, and Malashenko is very convinced.
Your own judgment on this will not be wrong.
As a result, TOS-1 or the Rocket Assault Battalion will inevitably face the problem of breaking up the organization and decentralizing equipment. Coordinated attacks with the siege team in street fighting can naturally solve the problem. TOS-1, which belongs to the siege team organization, will naturally solve the problem.
You can come on call at any time.
But if this is the case, Malashenko, who shook his head and laughed at himself, asked himself that the TOS-1 of the battalion on hand was definitely not enough.
How big is the leader's division? How many siege teams can be formed with the combined equipment and troops at all levels?
Let alone two or three vehicles for one detachment, Malashenko calculated a little and found that even one vehicle for one detachment was not enough. This annoying matter has worried the division commander for a long time.
.
But just as the saying goes, a pillow comes for sleep. The new and upgraded TOS-1s that Kogin sent to Malashenko with a wave of his hand are enough to solve the immediate urgent needs of the leader.
However, I don’t know how far this urgent need can be solved. To be precise, Malashenko does not know the total number of the new batch of TOS-1 provided by Kotin.
"How many of these did you bring this time?"
Malashenko asked a question, but Kotin pretended to be mysterious and did not answer directly.
"Guess, if you guess right, I have good news to tell you. Don't worry, there is no penalty for guessing wrong."
Seeing Ke Jing actually getting into trouble, this made Comrade Ma very amused.
However, Malashenko did not follow Kotin's way this time. It happened that Comrade Commander also had a corresponding trump card to restrain Kotin's trickery.
"If you ask me to guess, then I'll have to ask you."
"I also have good news to tell you. If you can tell me the numbers first, then I will tell you the good news later. But if you don't tell me now and just let me guess, then I won't
I can guarantee that this good news will still be there.”
"Hey here."
Malashenko's move caught Kotin off guard.
Kogin did not expect that when he betrayed Malashenko, Malashenko would betray him in return.
Moreover, Malashenko's trick is not like his own trick. There are hints and things in front of him. He is just guessing the quantity. What kind of medicine is Malashenko selling in this gourd? For Kejin
But I have no clue at all, so I can only guess blindly.
I wanted to fight Malashenko forcefully to the end, but then I thought about how this guy just mentioned that "good news cannot be guaranteed to be there all the time." This sounds like a missed opportunity.
Maybe it's time-sensitive, as there won't be this store after passing through this village.
At this point, even Kotin himself had to admit that the power of Malashenko's trickery was indeed much more powerful than his own trickery, and was more attractive and an irresistible temptation.
Kojing, who wanted to endure it but couldn't help it, simply couldn't bear it in the end. Anyway, it's just you talking nonsense, and I'm chatting and laughing, so what's the harm in losing to you Malashenko once? As long as I can put the facts into perspective
Just get the real benefits, that is, the "good news" in Malashenko's mouth.
Thinking of this, Kogin, who had already made his decision, immediately faced Malashenko and spoke slowly with an expression like "I lost, but don't be proud, kid. We have another time."
"There are 56 vehicles in total. I have brought you all the output in the first month of mass production. Only so many can be built in one month before the production ramp-up is completed. The monthly output is still growing. Now the body and chassis of the IS6
There are tanks, self-propelled artillery, and rocket assault tanks that need to be used. It is really difficult to increase the production capacity of the new mass-produced TOS-1. I hope you can understand, isn’t it too little?”
Kotin was afraid that the quantity would not be as per Malashenko's wishes, and then the commander and comrade's face dropped, his brows furrowed, and he said "That's it?", then "the scene would be very special"
It’s embarrassing.”
After all, compared to the Leader Division, which often has more than 200 to 300 heavy tanks and nearly a hundred self-propelled artillery, these 56 TOS-1s, I can only say sincerely, just and the medium tank unit of the Leader Division
About the same size, or even smaller.
But what Kojin didn't expect was that Malashenko's next expression was one of ecstasy on the spot. In an instant, his mouth almost reached the base of his ears, followed immediately by a "shuangzhuang" that directly slapped his thigh.
The words just blurted out.
"Okay! This is enough to expand two more battalions! I can just put together a fire support brigade!"
