"Comrade Commander, our air defense force is still too weak." After Smirnov waited for Lida to leave, he said to Sokov with emotion: "It would be great if the superiors could allocate one or two more anti-aircraft artillery divisions to us. ”
Regarding Smirnov's statement, Sokov could only smile bitterly after hearing this: "Comrade Chief of Staff, I think it is impossible for our superiors to give us any more anti-aircraft artillery divisions. You know, the war has been going on for nearly three years, no matter what The enemy is still us, and we all know in our hearts that although the anti-aircraft artillery division is an air defense force, as long as the muzzle of the gun is leveled on the battlefield, it can also be used as an ordinary artillery unit."
When Smirnov thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case. I don’t know when the anti-aircraft artillery began to neglect their duties. When enemy tanks and aircraft appeared on the battlefield at the same time, they first attacked the tanks instead of the aircraft. I once asked a question to the commander of the air defense force, and the other party replied plausibly: "Although we are anti-aircraft artillery, if the German tanks are rushing in front of us, what is the point of air defense?"
Although Smirnov was contradicted by his subordinates at the time, when he thought about it carefully, what the other party said was still very reasonable. If the anti-aircraft artillery only defends the air and ignores the approaching German tanks, and waits for the enemy tanks to rush up and destroy the anti-aircraft artillery, the air defense will be completely meaningless.
"Comrade Commander, this is what I think about." While Sokov and Lida were chatting, Smirnov was not idle. He was thinking about how to strengthen his own air defense force. It is obviously unrealistic to ask superiors to send air defense divisions here; to form a new air defense force yourself, firstly, the establishment is difficult to solve, and secondly, it is difficult to recruit soldiers. But the sudden appearance of Lida gave Smirnov a new idea: "Is it possible to form one or two more women's anti-aircraft artillery regiments to strengthen the air defense power of the group army?"
"Establish one or two more women's anti-aircraft artillery regiments?!" Sokov looked at Smirnov and asked: "Comrade Chief of Staff, where will the soldiers and equipment come from?"
"This is why I suggest you form a women's anti-aircraft artillery regiment." Smirnov reported to Sokov: "Whether it is soldiers sent from the rear or recruits we recruited locally, incorporate them into the anti-aircraft artillery regiment." Regiment is unrealistic. But if you recruit female soldiers, the difficulty will be greatly reduced."
Sokov stared at Smirnov for a long time, thinking quickly in his mind whether he should follow the other party's proposal to recruit female soldiers and form a new female anti-aircraft artillery unit.
"Well, Comrade Chief of Staff, your idea is good." Sokov thought for a while and felt that Smirnov's suggestion was very appropriate: "I think it may be more difficult to recruit male soldiers in newly liberated areas. , but when it comes to female soldiers, there will definitely be a lot of people who agree with the conditions for joining the army, and then we will have enough air defense capabilities."
"Then when do you think it is appropriate for us to start recruiting troops?" Smirnov said to Sokov: "I have observed all the cities we liberated and found a very interesting phenomenon. The cities are basically all women, children and Old man. If we talk about the general army recruitment, even if these women want to join the army, I am afraid they will not have the opportunity to join the army. But if they are allowed to join the women's anti-aircraft artillery regiment, things will be much simpler."
Perhaps because he was worried that Sokov would refuse, he also specifically emphasized: "The skills required by anti-aircraft gunners are not complicated and can be fully mastered after a very short period of training. During the battle to defend Stalingrad, our army used some The students from the school were directly incorporated into the army, and after a short training, they participated in the battle." "Comrade Commander, our air defense force is still too weak." Smirnov said with emotion after Lida left. Said Sokov: "It would be great if the superiors could allocate one or two more anti-aircraft artillery divisions to us."
