Steel Soviet Union

Comrade Division Commander is very happy, even the happiest he has been in recent times, just in the past two days. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

It is certainly a good thing to have a newer and stronger mass-produced version of TOS-1. It means that Malashenko has long felt that there are some insufficient rocket assault battalions under his hands, and finally we can usher in a larger one. The scale has been expanded.

It is true that the TOS-1 is Malashenko's division-level independent group fire support equipment. Under normal circumstances, it is used intensively and the troops are 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 and dispatch, if you 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, traveling through the city and alleyways and facing the TOS-1, a tracked heavy armored combat vehicle, which is full of ruins and mottled ruins, how can it arrive quickly as required within the "short time" according to the traditional concept? Destination, enter combat status and support your own 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 an exaggeration to say it was ten times worse.

In that situation, it is difficult for people to move, and the tanks have to be moved out by infantry. Only after special reconnaissance and planning of the route can they move smoothly and quickly. It is sheer nonsense to talk about rapid support of heavy equipment in this combat environment. Malashenko is very sure that his judgment on this is not 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 be 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 leadership division? By then, how many siege teams can be formed with synthetic equipment and troops at all levels?

Let alone two or three vehicles for a detachment, Malashenko calculated a little and found that even one vehicle for a detachment was not enough. This annoying matter has worried the division commander for a long time. .

But just as the so-called sleepy pillow came to him, the new and upgraded version of TOS-1 that Kogin sent to Malashenko with a wave of his hand is 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 doesn’t 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, 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 that Ke Jing was actually showing off, this made Comrade Ma very amused.

However, Malashenko did not fall into Kotin's way this time. It just so happened that the teacher, Comrade Comrade, also had a corresponding trump card that could 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 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 Kogin off guard.

Kojin did not expect that after he betrayed Malashenko, Malashenko would betray him in return.

Moreover, Malashenko's trickery is not like his own trickery. 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 he has no clue at all and can only guess blindly.

I wanted to fight Malashenko 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, and there is no store like this after passing 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, he was just talking and laughing with you talking about something, so what's the harm in losing to you Malashenko once? As long as I can get tangible benefits, that is, the "good news" in Malashenko's mouth.

Thinking of this, Kojin, who had already made his decision, immediately faced Malashenko and spoke slowly with an expression of "I lost, but don't be proud, kid. We have another time."

"A total of 56 vehicles. I have brought you the entire output of 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 all 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?”

Kogin 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 kept saying "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!"
