Chapter 2554: Take this back and study it carefully
If it was just a matter of raising and releasing the cannon tube, it would naturally not take long.
It's just that after the visit, Malashenko and Kotin had no intention of breaking up and leaving immediately. The main reason was that Malashenko still lingered with Kotin and continued to walk around Zhukov and talk about things.
"So that means everything is ready and ready to fire at any time? Is that so?"
Malashenko was not from the artillery department, and he did not understand how this super cannon, which was unprecedentedly expensive in history, operated and fired.
Whether this thing is ready or not depends not on Malashenko's decision, nor on Kotin's decision, but on the decision of Zhukov, the biggest leader of the field officers. He is the one in charge of everything.
After all, this is an artillery unit directly under the front army, and everyone working here is the only one.
"You can think so. Of course it's okay for you to say so."
"There are only some trivial finishing work left in the future. A small part of the assembly and construction has not been completed. In addition, about half of the artillery shells have not arrived. At present, it has only just passed the halfway point. Complete combat preparations cannot be said.
, but if the situation changes and the need arises, it can indeed fire at any time."
"."
After hearing this, Malashenko was thoughtful, as if he was inspired by Zhukov's words and was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head again and spoke quietly to Zhukov.
"Then if you need it in battle, how should you call for support from this thing? Who should you contact then?"
Zhukov smiled after hearing this, not that what Malashenko asked was funny, but that he had almost expected that Malashenko would ask such a question.
"Did you miss a key part? For example, who is going to call for support from the red Stalingrad?"
"Ah this."
Seeing that his little thought was seen through by Comrade Lao Zhu on the spot, Malashenko, who was a little embarrassed but only to a "slightly" extent, immediately smiled and simply admitted and spoke.
"It's me, Comrade Marshal. Didn't we discuss it before? We agreed to use this thing to bomb a few high-value targets to kill the Germans' prestige and morale, so as to quickly resolve the battlefield battle. Then when the time comes that we need this thing to volunteer
How should I contact you?"
How to use the red Stalingrad is indeed an unprecedented problem. Malashenko has never had such a luxurious and supreme experience in the past.
Of course, Zhukov is not a difficult person to talk to. Since Malashenko has asked this, the joke naturally ends here.
"I will send a liaison team to your division, including a technician from the 17th Guards Artillery Brigade. He will be responsible for assigning artillery coordinates and related professional matters. There is also a liaison officer who will be responsible for effective communication.
Establish and guarantee. Of course, communication equipment must be provided by our division. Your division headquarters should not be short of these things, right? Comrade division commander who doesn’t go back often."
"."
Leng Buting was "damaged" by Zhukov again. Malashenko blushed when he heard this "Comrade Commander who doesn't go back often". Although Zhukov did not object to his "special method" of commanding operations during the war, this
Doesn't it make people feel a little embarrassed to mention it suddenly in this way? Maybe that's the case.
"Then what coordinates can we plan for the bombardment? Comrade Marshal. This thing takes a long time to reload, and the number of shells is limited. I think it should limit the range of bombardment targets, right?"
The Red Stalingrad is not a weapon that can unleash artillery fire wantonly, and Malashenko knows this.
What Malashenko didn't know was this thing. To be precise, it should be that this thing was in Zhukov's plan, and what was the lowest limit for artillery targets.
Is it a large building where Germans gather and is easy to defend but difficult to attack? Or does it have to be a landmark building to open fire?
It is very important for Malashenko to clarify this point, which directly determines the circumstances under which the leader division can call for support from this thing. Malashenko wants to know the starting line of the types of targets that can be shelled in advance, so that
This can save you some unnecessary trouble.
This would be a meaningless waste of time if there were troops below who would submit requests for artillery bombardment to the division headquarters during the war, and then the division headquarters would then upload the request to the front army headquarters but it would not go through.
"I have already prepared this issue for you. Take this back and study it carefully and you will understand everything."
"If you have any questions that you don't understand, you can contact me at any time by telegram or phone. I guess you won't have time to come to me in person. Or you can wait until the liaison team is in place and ask them. Didn't I just say that you would
Will a professional technician be sent to you? He will explain all the problems to you. This is also one of his tasks. You can ask him for clarification then."
"As for me"
Before he finished speaking, Zhukov raised his arms and rolled down his sleeves and glanced at the time on his watch. The words he had already made his decision blurted out immediately.
"The organization and coordination of the campaign and a lot of things at the front army headquarters are still waiting. You two don't need to accompany me. You can go your own way."
"By the way Ke Jing, do you want to go back to China directly now? Or do you have any other needs that you want me to help arrange?"
Kotin does not belong to any front-line unit, nor is he a combatant. To put it bluntly, he is a non-staff member without jurisdiction. Even Zhukov has no right to decide what Kotin should do next. The question he can ask now is just
I want to know Ke Jing's next plans, and if I can help, I'll help, that's all.
"Me? I plan to return to China. I don't have time to stay on the front line anymore. But I plan to go to Leningrad first. Before leaving for the front line, I told Shashmulin that I would go to his place and see if there is anything there.
There is nothing I can do for you. It just so happened that Malashenko gave me a big gift, and I took it to Shashmulin to show off to him, haha."
"Gift???"
Now it was Zhukov's turn to become a "question mark". He had no idea what Kotin was referring to, and it was a large gift. He could only turn his attention from Kotin to Malashenko for answers.
"It's nothing. It's just a headless tiger that was picked up by the Germans. After the turret was removed, it carried four oversized anti-tank missiles. It's an enlarged version of the same principle used by the German infantry.
Ke Jin happened to like it, so I let him take it away. Anyway, it will eventually be sent back to the rear for research, and heavy armored combat vehicles happen to be the area he is responsible for, so letting him take it back along the way will save us trouble in the future."
