"Yasha," Sokov said after Yakov finished reporting the quantity of weapons and equipment: "The problem of weapons and ammunition has been solved, and the next thing to consider is the transportation problem.
The rest of the country we live in has just been liberated, and it will take some time for the railway lines to be restored. It is obviously unrealistic to transport by railway. As for truck transportation, it seems that it is also very large. After all, troops on all fronts now need to replenish lost weapons and ammunition, and our army's transportation capacity has reached its limit. It will take at least a few months for the equipment to be shipped to us, and we can't wait that long. "
"You're right, Misha." Yakov also agreed with Sokov's statement. Even if he could rely on his connections to let the transport team give priority to transport weapons and ammunition for Sokov's troops, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible. It takes half a month or even longer for these weapons and ammunition to be delivered to their destination. "Today's transportation capacity is tight. You will have to wait a long time to get this batch of ammunition."
"Is there any other way?" Sokov asked tentatively: "How about using a transport plane to transport it for us?"
"This is impossible." As soon as Sokov finished speaking, he was rejected by Yakov: "You know, except for refueling and maintenance, Moscow's transport planes are almost all flying in the sky, and they can't spare any time. Transport weapons and ammunition for you."
Seeing that Yakov rejected his proposal to use a transport plane to transport supplies, Sokov could only choose the last option: "Yasha, can you use a hovercraft to transport supplies for us?"
He was deeply afraid that Yakov would reject his proposal again, so he quickly continued: "March is about to enter, and it will be the spring thaw season in Ukraine. The roads will become muddy, making our road transportation more difficult. . And if you use hovercraft, you can overcome this problem. A hovercraft can carry eight tons of supplies or 30 soldiers, which is equivalent to a large load truck. As long as there are 20 hovercrafts, I think it can be used within a week. All the supplies have arrived.”
"Misha, have you considered that the distance from Moscow to your place is almost a thousand kilometers." Yakov said on the phone: "Perhaps after these hovercraft transportation materials arrive at your place, they will all be reimbursed due to malfunctions. .You know, this thing is expensive to make. If it is really damaged, who will be responsible?"
Sokov was just about to say something went wrong and I will take charge, but he heard Yakov continue: "And the hovercraft is highly confidential. Once captured by the Germans and copied in large numbers, they can quickly mobilize troops and supplies to launch a new attack on us at any location. In order to avoid this situation, we will now mothball the hovercraft."
Perhaps guessing what Sokov would say, he specifically added: "This matter is of great importance. If something goes wrong, you are certainly responsible, and our weapons and equipment department is also involved, and it may even implicate Us." Comrade Zinov."
These words Yakov said completely blocked Sokov's mouth, making it difficult for him to say anything. After all, once the hovercraft fell into the hands of the German army and they began to imitate it, it would be a disaster for the Soviet army. A disaster.
When Yakov heard Sokov suddenly stopped talking, he guessed that he must be feeling depressed at the moment, so he comforted him and said: "Misha, according to my analysis, in half a month to a month, where you are There will definitely be no new battles in the area, which means you have enough time to wait for the arrival of weapons and ammunition."
"However, the equipment of the 53rd Army is too weak." Sokov said with some lack of confidence: "And the enemy opposite us is the 1st Tank Division and the Flag Guard Division, the most elite German army. Once a new round of offensive and defensive battles begins, , my troops may not be able to stop the attack of these two German armies."
"Misha, don't worry." Yakov's tone suddenly became calm: "I will find a way to solve the problem of insufficient firepower for you. Comrade People's Commissar and I are going to have a meeting. I will talk to you next time." After that, Sokov hung up the phone without waiting for anything to say.
Smirnov heard some of the conversation between Sokov and Yakov. After Sokov put down the phone, he asked tentatively: "Comrade Commander, what is the hovercraft you are talking about? Why have I never heard of it?"
"It is a new type of transportation. In addition to being able to travel on roads, it can also travel quickly on lakes and swamps." Since it was his chief of staff who asked, Sokov naturally would not hide anything from him. After all, there are many commanders and fighters who have seen this kind of weapon: "Hovercraft are divided into two types: assault type and transport type. The assault type hovercraft can carry 7 soldiers and a 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun; while the other type is a transport hovercraft , can carry 30 soldiers or eight tons of cargo. "Yasha," Sokov said after Yakov finished reporting the number of weapons and equipment: "The problem of weapons and ammunition has been solved, and the next thing to consider is the transportation problem. .
