Chapter 224： Tanks should be used intensively (2/2)

”Brigade Commander, Moscow, I think highly of you.” The night was getting dark, sitting on the hay next to a tank, smoking a cigarette, Pavlov heard the adjutant next to him say: ”In Moscow , They all call you a Red Army tank expert.”

Tank expert! In the past few days, Pavlov has suddenly become famous.

The battle in Madrid was originally glued, but as soon as Pavlov came over, he launched a counterattack. Without artillery support and air support, Pavlov pushed forward for three consecutive days and rushed out. Ten kilometers, defeated the Central Army and killed the cavalry!

Madrid has a high morale these days! At the same time, Moscow suddenly noticed this humble tank brigade commander.

Pavlov smiled: ”Actually, I learned from the Germans. The tank unit of the German Vulture Corps charged even harder and hit Zaragoza in a few days.”

The German tank tactics are attracting Pavlov. Now that he uses tanks like this, he has boldly reformed!

Although tanks were invented during World War I, there are still many opinions on how to use tanks. For example, as the inventor of tanks, the British have always firmly believed that tanks are vassals of infantry. It can only be mixed among the infantry, acting as a mobile fort.

Focus on using tanks? That is absolutely impossible!

But now, Pavlov has concentrated the tanks for use. In this way, the power of the tanks is fully utilized!

”We are now invincible because the German tank troops have moved away.” Pavlov is very humble. He has carefully studied the German Panther tank. The performance of this tank far exceeds his own. T-26!

I really hope that domestic tanks that surpass the Panthers will be produced as soon as possible! Unfortunately, so far, no German tank has been captured!

”Drive, drive, drive!” In the silent night, the sound of horses came from a distance. Hearing this sound, Pavlov sat up from the ground, ”Our supplies are here, soon!”

supply! A big problem caused by the intensive use of tanks is the extreme dependence on logistics supplies! The T-26 tank has a 292-liter fuel tank, and in off-road conditions, it will consume nearly 200 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers!

In the battle ~~ in the waiting for the task, the consumption is more, so Pavlov's daily offensive ability depends on the ability of logistics supply!

These fuels have to span a long distance, and it is a setback to be transported to Madrid first, and then transported again!

Carriage after carriage appeared in the eyes of everyone. On the carriage, there were oil drums stacked one by one. The anxious tank soldiers had already personally carried the oil drums and quickly refueled their tanks.

There are also a few carriages, which are pulling boxes of ammunition, and these ammunition have also been moved into the tank.

After more than two hours of replenishment, the entire army has completed the replenishment again.

At the beginning of the battle, Pavlov’s tank brigade had 47 tanks. In the past few days, 5 vehicles were lost, and there are now 42 vehicles.

In the east, the sky gradually brightened.

”Go ahead, comrades, today we are going to Pirnloga!” Pavlov shouted loudly and got into his tank.
