Chapter 742 Murderous aura hidden in the fog of war(2/2)

Although it was just a set of lines, Stalin could still see that this tank had a very sci-fi appearance, especially the turret.

"According to the feedback from the frontline comrades, the enemy used a more powerful tank in the winter. We have not captured this tank yet. However, according to the description of the comrades who have witnessed this tank, we drew the appearance of this tank. Because there is no physical object, we can only infer that this tank is equipped with a tank gun of at least 100 mm caliber, and the armor of the tank must be stronger than the e-40 tank, especially the front armor, which should be able to be one-fifth or even one-quarter of the thickness.

In order to deal with this new tank and the German main e-40 tank, we have designed the following weapons to deal with them. Please come here."

Stalin and others followed Fedorenko to a chariot with a low body without a turret and equipped with an oversized caliber artillery.

"This is our self-propelled anti-tank gun modified with the chassis of the KV-85 heavy tank, called the Su-152, which is equipped with a millimeter gun. In front of this gun, I think whether it is the German e-40 or the new tank, it is as fragile as a toy."

"Now, the big guy with only 152mm caliber can deal with the German tanks. With it, with the su-122 we are using, at least in terms of the performance of the tank, we have the power to fight. But how many of it is?" Stalin said.

"We have formed eleven independent self-propelled anti-tank regiments, each regiment is equipped with 12 su-152s, and more regiments are being formed, with a total of more than 150."

"Su-122 alone is not enough. We need more of this weapon to defend our country." Stalin said. "Since there is 5, there is no need to continue production. Let it stop production. All chassis are used to produce su-152. This will greatly increase the output."

Fedorianko and Lieutenant General Rokosovsky beside him looked at each other in surprise.

The kv-85 tank is improved from the Kv-1 tank and is modified with an 85mm caliber tank gun, also known as the kv-1s heavy tank.

The original purpose of producing this kind of tank was to be able to play a transitional role before the new heavy tank was developed.

Now, the new heavy tank has not been officially produced yet, and Stalin is about to stop production of the KV-85. Does the General Secretary have any prejudice against the KV-85?

Stalin seemed to have noticed the two of them and continued: "The comrades on the front line reported that heavy tanks could not defeat the enemy and could not run away. It was very useless. Just stop production and use it to produce su-152 that could beat the enemy."

"Comrade General Secretary, when breaking through the enemy's positions, we still need heavy tanks to resist the enemy's shells..."

"Aren't there new heavy tanks there? Let's do this, the KV-85 production will be produced until the end of this month, and then the Su-152 will be converted. It's not too late. The number of kv-85 we have now can temporarily maintain a period of war consumption. When the consumption is almost done, the output of the new heavy tanks should also be increased."

"However, General Secretary, the new heavy tank has not yet begun mass production." Fedorianko said.

"Are you already a prototype car? I have seen the design indicators of this tank. As long as the tanks you produce can meet the design indicators, they will definitely be more powerful than the kv-85. I believe your ability, Comrade Kejing."

Comrade Kojing, who was mentioned by Stalin, was the engineering and technical major general Joseph Kojing, who was responsible for the design and improvement of tanks. 5 were his masterpieces. Now, he was ordered to study new heavy tanks and made progress, producing three prototypes, and specially invited Stalin to inspect on site.

"The newly developed prototype of the I-1 heavy tank is there, basically meeting the indicators we designed, with firepower equivalent to the KV-85, but both maneuver and armor are stronger than the KV-85. I firmly believe that this weapon will definitely give the Germans a blow," said Major General Kojing.

"But your 85mm cannon is powerless against the enemy's e-40 and that mysterious tank?" Stalin asked.
