Sokov continued: "This assault rifle is solid and durable, has a low failure rate, and has excellent shooting performance under high and low temperatures. Even if it is soaked in muddy water, it can still be used normally after being fished out. "
Sokov's words made all the commanders' eyes light up. You must know that the most common terrain in Russia is swamps and lakes. If this assault rifle is really as Sokov said, it can be used normally even if it has been soaked in muddy water. , then if a large number of troops are equipped, there is no need to worry about the failure of firearms when fighting in complex terrain.
However, just to be on the safe side, Fomenko still asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, are everything you said true?"
"Of course it's true." Sokov said, raising the assault rifle high above his head: "I once used this gun to fight the Germans in the sewers of Stalingrad, which were all filled with silt. But when I used the weapon, it didn't malfunction at all."
Confirming the superiority of this assault rifle, Fomenko remembered that Sokov had mentioned at the meeting that he would use this batch of firearms to equip a division, and quickly asked: "Comrade Commander, I remember you just said, If you want to equip a division with this new weapon, why not re-equip our division."
When the other division commanders saw that Fomenko actually wanted to get there first and was willing to miss this batch of firearms, they all shouted: "Comrade Commander, the combat effectiveness of our division has been greatly improved after this period of training. It should be Use this batch of firearms to equip our division..."
"No, the training level of your division cannot be compared with our division. I think it should be used to equip our division..."
For a time, a dozen division and brigade-level leaders started arguing fiercely over which unit should be equipped with this batch of firearms. Sokov didn't speak, just smiled and listened quietly to everyone's quarrel.
After everyone calmed down, Sokov continued: "Comrade division commanders, originally I wanted to ask for your opinions on which division should be prepared with this batch of firearms, but judging from your reactions, you all want to get this batch of firearms." Firearms. Since your opinions cannot be unified, I can only make the decision."
Hearing what Sokov said, everyone held their breath and wanted to hear who would end up with this batch of firearms.
Sokov's eyes swept across the division commanders, division political commissars, and brigade commanders present, and finally landed on Colonel Khokhlov, commander of the 182nd Infantry Division. He announced loudly: "I think this batch Firearms to equip Colonel Khokhlov’s 182nd Infantry Division.”
As soon as the decision was announced, the commanders present were in an uproar: "Comrade Commander, why should these firearms be equipped with the 182nd Division?"
Faced with everyone’s doubts, Sokov said calmly: “Since I took office, I have ordered all divisions to conduct military training. But more than a month has passed. After my inspection, the most obvious result is that Hoch Colonel Love's 182nd Division. This is just the first batch of weapons. Next month, our superiors will continue to replenish us with new firearms. The distribution principle at that time will still be which division has outstanding training results, which division can be equipped with these weapons first. A new type of assault rifle."
At first, everyone wanted to complain, but when they heard Sokov said that firearms would be delivered next month and that they would be given priority to divisions with outstanding training results, everyone was excited and prepared to wait until they returned. Just urge the troops to carry out training, and we must achieve the most obvious results in the shortest possible time.
"Colonel Khokhlov!" Seeing that no one among the many commanders raised any objections, Sokov shouted to the crowd: "Please come out."
Following Sokov's shout, Colonel Khokhlov walked out of the crowd, straightened his back and stood in front of Sokov, ready to accept the order he gave.
"Comrade Colonel," Sokov told Khokhlov: "After the new firearms are delivered to your division, you must urge the commanders and soldiers to quickly become familiar with the use of the new weapons. Do you understand?"
"clear."
"Also, there are still many soldiers in each division who are not equipped with weapons." Sokov warned: "The equipment that your division has replaced will be immediately gathered and handed over to the headquarters, which will distribute it to those troops in need. .”
The division commanders and brigade commanders present were a little disappointed because they were not assigned assault rifles, but after hearing Sokov's words, they felt much better. The weapons replaced by the 182nd Division can arm those unarmed soldiers. stand up. As long as each warrior has his own weapon, the training effect can be greatly improved.
"Comrade Commander," Samyko waited for Sokov to finish, then whispered in his ear: "How do you plan to distribute the new rockets and rocket launchers? You can't give them all to the 182nd Division, right? "
"This is impossible." Sokov replied resolutely: "Our 27th Army is a large collective. If just one division is strong, it is not enough. Every division and brigade needs to have strong enough combat effectiveness. We It is planned to distribute this equipment evenly to each division."
"Comrade commanders," Sokov greeted everyone: "I have one more thing to announce to you. In addition to firearms, our superiors have also replenished us with a large number of new rockets and a certain number of rocket launchers. I plan to This equipment is distributed to the divisions.”
"New rockets and rocket launchers?" After hearing these two things Sokov said, the commanders present were confused. They looked at each other, trying to get useful information from each other. Regardless of the troops that Sokov commanded before, they have made great achievements by using these two new weapons. However, since Sokov arrived in the Koski area, these two weapons have never been shown. The commanders present did not know. Love is also within reason.
"I think the commanders and comrades present may have never seen these two weapons. Let me have someone demonstrate it to you, and you will know what is going on." Sokov said, turning around and telling Seryosha : "Seryozha, go get twelve rockets and demonstrate them to the commanders."
When Seryosha led someone to pull the rocket launcher over, someone in the crowd laughed out loud: "What is this? It looks like a farm tool. Could it be the new weapon that Comrade Commander wants to demonstrate to us?" .”
Sokov heard this kind of ridicule, but did not immediately distinguish it. After all, it is better to just fire a batch of rockets and let the commanders present see the effect.
After Seryosha and other soldiers set up the twelve-tube launcher and loaded it, they jogged to Sokov, raised their hands in salute and reported: "Comrade Commander, the rockets have been loaded, please give instructions." !”
"Launch!"
"Yes!" Seryosha agreed resoundingly, then turned over and ran back to the launcher's side, announcing: "Launch!"
As the order was given, twelve rockets trailed long white flame tails and flew towards a slope two kilometers away. In a short time, the rocket landed on the slope and exploded, making an earth-shattering sound and turning the slope into a sea of fire.
Seeing this situation, the commanders present were all stunned. They did not expect that twelve seemingly inconspicuous rockets could actually cause such a powerful killing effect. After a long time, a division commander said with lingering fear: "Oh my God, a salvo of this new type of rocket can almost catch up with the power of an artillery regiment."
"Seryosa," Sokov ordered Seryosha when he saw Seryosha back in front of him: "Introduce this new rocket to the commanders."
After Seryosha agreed, he began to explain this new rocket to everyone: "...the new rocket flies by the thrust of its own engine and does not require a complex anti-recoil device. The launcher has a simple and lightweight structure. Most parts do not require It can be disassembled and combined with tools, making operation and maintenance very easy. Under special circumstances, a single tube, two tubes, four tubes or eight tubes can be used for simple launch. The launcher has small size, light weight and good maneuverability, and can be carried by a jeep It can be towed or dragged by mules and horses, and can also be broken down and transported by manpower, making it very suitable for combat in Gobi, mountainous areas, jungles and water network areas."
"This thing is really great." Fomenko said loudly: "When we are defending or attacking, we can use this new rocket to deal with dense German columns and cause them heavy damage."
"Each infantry division can be allocated 200 of this new rocket." After Fomenko finished speaking, Sokov said loudly: "I will send someone to teach you how to use this new rocket."
"What about our infantry brigade?" Lieutenant Colonel Uzakov interrupted and asked, "Can it be assigned to us too?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Lieutenant Colonel."
Sokov continued: "This assault rifle is solid and durable, has a low failure rate, and has excellent shooting performance under high and low temperatures. Even if it is soaked in muddy water, it can still be used normally after being fished out. "
Sokov's words made all the commanders' eyes light up. You must know that the most common terrain in Russia is swamps and lakes.
