"Comrade teacher," Sokov looked at the teacher who had just scolded him and asked, "Are you going to let me continue speaking, or are you going to let me go back to my seat immediately?"
The instructor stared at Sokov for a few seconds, then picked up the seating chart on the desk. After seeing Sokov's name clearly, he said in a contemptuous tone: "Captain Sokov, just tell everyone. It’s your understanding of street fighting.”
Sokov turned his attention to the students again and said firmly: "Students, what I want to talk about today is how to correctly use and cover our army's armored forces in street fighting.
As we all know, our army's tanks are designed for field battles and are not suitable for fighting in narrow areas in big cities. In addition to the fact that the rotation radius of the tank's main gun is too narrow and can only attack targets on the front arc in narrow streets, the pitch angle is also insufficient to attack targets in basements and on top of buildings. Coupled with the thin armor on the top and bottom of the tank, it is vulnerable to attacks from Panzerfaust or anti-tank mines.
Some people may say that since our tanks are not suitable for street fighting, we can just stop using tanks after entering the city. That won't work. You must know that when our troops fight in the city, they will definitely encounter many strong fire support points. Without the support of artillery fire, they cannot be destroyed at all.
Although now you can use the "bayonet on the cannon" tactic to bring the artillery closer and shoot. However, the advancement speed of artillery is too slow. If we rely solely on artillery, it will greatly slow down the speed of our army's liberation of the city. Therefore, it is inevitable for us to use tanks in conjunction with infantry to capture cities.
Berlin is an ancient city with wide streets and solid stone buildings on both sides of the road. The enemy can use these buildings to build a complete defense system to attack our troops rushing into the city. "
The instructor standing aside originally wanted to see Sokov's joke, but unexpectedly found that other students were taking notes seriously, and he couldn't help showing a look of astonishment on his face. You know, one-third of the students are majors, and Sokov who is speaking is just a captain, but everyone's reaction is as focused as listening to a teacher's lecture.
"What on earth is going on?" The teacher realized something was wrong, and planned to go to Christonia, who was in charge of this class, to ask after class, what on earth was going on, and why a captain could make everyone Are you convinced by him?
"When our offensive troops advance along the street, how should we eliminate the enemies along the way?" Sokov continued: "My idea is that the advancing tank troops should form two columns on the street. , the muzzle of the tank on the left is facing to the right, and the muzzle of the tank on the left is facing to the right. In this way, no matter where the enemy emerges from the street, our tank soldiers can detect it in time and respond quickly.
In street fighting, the enemy will definitely deploy a large number of anti-tank fighters in the buildings on both sides to destroy our tanks. In order to ensure the safety of the tanks, each attacking tank unit should be equipped with a considerable number of infantry. They walk between the two tanks. While receiving cover from the tanks, they also bear the responsibility of protecting the tanks. "
"Captain Sokov," when Sokov's words came to an end, a captain below raised his hand and asked loudly: "What if the troops encounter the barricades deployed by the German army at the intersection while advancing? What should we do? You know, the enemy's mg42 general machine gun is enough to cause huge casualties to our infantry."
Sokov looked in the direction of the voice. The speaker was a captain from the Baltic Coast Front, and he rarely talked to him. But since the other party has raised questions, he naturally has to answer them. Only by allowing more commanders to master the street fighting they know can the casualties of the troops be reduced.
"We can park the tank 150 meters away from the enemy fortifications, use artillery fire to destroy the barricades, and cover the infantry to pass through this area smoothly." Sokov also specifically explained to the other party: "Why should we choose to stop at 150 meters? Where is the location? Because this distance has exceeded the effective range of our rocket launchers. Unless the enemy uses large-caliber anti-tank guns, there is no weapon that can destroy our tanks at such a long distance."
After Sokov explained in detail how to use tanks to destroy the German barricades and clear the way forward for the infantry, he made a concluding speech: "In short, everyone just needs to keep in mind the basic principles of using combined arms and equip them with sufficient troops. Communication facilities and control methods can reduce casualties in street fighting, shorten the time to capture the city, and achieve final victory."
Looking at the young captain talking eloquently in front of him, the instructor had a vague illusion, as if the person sitting in the wheelchair in front of him was not an ordinary officer, but a general who had experienced hundreds of battles and made great achievements in battles.
After Sokov finished speaking, Sukharev pushed his wheelchair back to his seat and gave him a thumbs up: "What you said is really great. If everyone can remember what you said, content and apply it in actual combat, then our speed of liberating the city can be greatly improved."
The content of the teacher's next lecture was still related to street fighting, but with Sokov's pearls in front of him, what he said seemed a bit lackluster.
The teacher was obviously aware of this, but he could only bite the bullet and continue teaching according to the content of the lesson prepared in advance. When he finally heard the bell ringing, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately announced the end of get out of class, then packed up the books on the desk and hurried out of the classroom.
As soon as he left the classroom, the teacher hurried to the teacher's office, wanting to ask Christonia, who was in charge of managing the intermediate training class, who Captain Sokov was who was talking eloquently in his class.
Christonia was in her office, talking on the phone with the dean. When he saw the teacher who had just finished class hurried in, he seemed to be worried, so he spoke faster and ended the call with the dean after saying what was going on.
"My old friend." Christonia put down the phone and asked the teacher in surprise: "What happened? I see you seem very unhappy?"
"Hristonia, I want to ask you." The instructor looked into Kristonia's eyes and asked, "What kind of person is that Captain Sokov?"
Hearing the teacher ask about Sokov, Christonia couldn't help but panic. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to sort out the teaching materials in front of him, trying to pretend to be nonchalant and asked: "Did he cause you any trouble?"
"My class today is to introduce the emerging theory of street fighting." Although Christonia hid it well, the teacher still noticed something strange about him, but before questioning Sokov's identity, he still had to tell what happened in class. What happened: "Before class, I asked the students to come up and talk about their understanding of street fighting."
Hearing what the teacher said, Christonia immediately guessed what happened. Based on what he knew about Sokov, maybe this anonymous general had some innovative new theory in class. He raised his head again, with a contemptuous smile on his lips: "You won't let Sokov come on stage to explain his understanding of street fighting, right? If so, I'm afraid he will steal all your limelight."
"Ah, how did you know?" After the teacher said this, he suddenly remembered Christonia's abnormal reaction just now, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly asked: "Christonia, did you guess it a long time ago? , will I encounter such a situation?"
"That's right, my old friend." Now that the other party has guessed the truth, Christonia doesn't intend to hide it anymore: "No matter which teacher it is, as long as Sokov is invited to speak on stage, their limelight will be overshadowed. Live. Compared with them, Sokov is more like an experienced teacher."
"Hristonia, stop talking nonsense." The instructor was eager to know Sokov's true identity, so he urged Kristonia: "Hurry up and tell me who this Captain Sokov is and why he is Knowing so much, could it be that he is a military genius?"
Christonia did not answer the teacher's question immediately. Instead, she stood up and walked to the door. After looking outside for a moment, she closed the door. After he returned to his desk and sat down, he looked at the instructor and asked, "My old friend, have you heard of the 27th Army?"
"Of course I have." The instructor nodded and said, "This unit has made numerous military exploits, whether in the Battle of Kursk or the Battle of Kharkov a few months ago."
When the instructor said this, he suddenly remembered something. He raised his eyebrows, and then asked tentatively: "I remember that the surname of the commander of the 27th Group Army is also Sokov. Could it be that he and this Captain Sokov Are they relatives?"
"They are not relatives." Christonia answered simply: "They are the same person."
"Comrade teacher," Sokov looked at the teacher who had just scolded him and asked, "Are you going to let me continue speaking, or are you going to let me go back to my seat immediately?"
The instructor stared at Sokov for a few seconds, then picked up the seating chart on the desk. After seeing Sokov's name clearly, he said in a contemptuous tone: "Captain Sokov, just tell everyone. It’s your understanding of street fighting.”
