hello everyone, this is gaitong, i miss you so much after not seeing you for a long time. recently, gaitong has been focusing on military affairs (micro-management), which means videos and my life and study. therefore, i am sorry that i have not updated the articles myself. school has started, and i am the type who becomes more efficient the more i go to school. so i post articles when i have nothing to do.
today we will take stock of the tank strength of the mechanized armies in various soviet military districts in the west on june 22, 1941.
after all, as i said in my previous video. don't hate gaitong, the "stinky german, black" guy, but the most accurate soviet tank in china is still from gaitong. that's too embarrassing. of course, my version is only the most complete for now, and i will upgrade it when i have the chance. it's just a reference for now, thank you
let's start with an appetizer: is the photo of the lone car of la seignier that has been circulated online actually the real car?
the tank in the photo was not lost in raseniai! this tank was not lost in raseniai, and it was not the heroic crew of raseniai (not to say that there was no brave feat in raseniai, but that the photo was not taken at that time). the protagonist of this photo was in ostrov, near pskov. the 2nd tank division was not part of the 3rd mechanized army, but was part of the 3rd tank division (1st mechanized army), and was lost on july 5, 1941, not on 6.23/24 in raseniai.
the commander was captain rusanov
pilot: zhivoglyadov
gunner: osipov
mechanic: volchkov
loader: hantsevich
but the matter of the lasseiniai lone crew
1. it is true
2. but the protagonist is not kv2 but kv1
with the ammunition load and turret protection of kv2, it is not stable against pak38, and the shells are not enough to hold out for so long.
3. it didn't stop an armored division (it's impossible for a single vehicle to resist a division, and the width of the battlefield is much greater than the range). it just cut off the supply line of the 6-armored rous battle group.
4. the soviets probably didn’t have a very good record
because the 2nd tank division suffered a terrible loss in this battle... the division commander was also killed. how could there be any detailed records of such a rear guard vehicle...

in summary, the soviet army's five western military districts had a total of 20 mechanized armies, 40 tank divisions, and 20 motorized divisions. these tank units should have 5,200 t26 series light tanks, 6,340 bt series fast tanks, 320 amphibious small tanks, 8,400 t-34 medium tanks, and 2,520 kv series heavy tanks. it sounds scary, 10,000 t-34s and kvs, but the actual equipment situation is:
4245 t-26 light tanks, 932 bt-2/5 fast tanks, 3039 bt-7/7m fast tanks, 796 amphibious machine gun tanks, 342 t-28 medium tanks, 863 t-34 medium tanks, 47 t-35 heavy tanks, 325 kv-1 heavy tanks, 140 kv-2 heavy tanks. some of these new tanks may not have been in place yet.
that is to say, the 20 soviet mechanized armies on the border had only 9,012 light tanks of various types, 1,205 medium tanks of various types, and 512 heavy tanks of various types. this is a total of 10,729 tanks.
of course, these are not all the tanks that the soviet army could deploy during the border fighting. in fact, the soviet army had more than 20 mechanized corps with tanks during the border fighting:
the soviet cavalry corps still retained a certain number of tanks.
for example, the 6th cavalry army has 46 amphibious small tanks and 54 bt2/5 fast tanks; the 2nd cavalry army and the 32nd cavalry division of the odessa special military district have a total of 62 bt fast tanks and 11 amphibious small tanks)
the airborne corps also has some (for example, the 4th airborne corps has 24 amphibious small tanks)
infantry divisions also have some, for example, the 24th infantry division of the soviet western special military district has 10 t-26 light tanks and the 67th infantry division of the baltic coast special military district has 16 amphibious small tanks. in addition, there are sporadic tank units that are not counted for the time being.
during the border fighting (the first 18 days), the soviet army deployed more than 20 mechanized armies. for example, the 21st mechanized army clearly participated in the war on june 28.
we will make statistics on these other tank units later. there is no doubt that the soviet army had the largest tank unit in the world at that time. even though the tank models are old, the absolute number of t-26 and bt series in stock is no match for the short 50 no. 3, new short 4, thickened 38t, which are the actual main tanks of the german army.
relying on 1w2 tanks to have a little fun should not be the result in 1941. it can be seen that the other problems of the soviet mechanized tank forces in 1941 were very serious.
at the same time, it should be noted that the t-34 crisis is not serious in the border battles, because as shown in the data in this article, most tank divisions and all motorized divisions do not have t34/kv or even t28... some motorized divisions have no tanks... the non-mechanized army is almost entirely old light tanks. many divisions with t34/kv have only a very small number of kv/t-34, which makes it difficult to form combat effectiveness. and those tank divisions equipped with 50+ t34/kv... many of them were defeated in a muddle or the new vehicles were not delivered at all...
as an account that is often criticized as a german-speaking hater, it is the first to summarize the rare information on the tank equipment of the soviet mechanized forces in 1941 in china... as i said in my previous video, you all cry every night and every day, will you cry yourself to death? it doesn't matter if you don't want to change your cognition, but please at least come up with something useful to share with me, otherwise our debate is not in the same dimension and is meaningless.
the video account is a long-term business, so it is inevitable to be tired. the day before i boarded the plane, my computer broke down, and the new computer i brought also had problems. i could only use an unfamiliar tablet as a notebook... it's very awkward and takes time to get used to... it's very bad!
so i made this video to express my indignation, but i also want to thank everyone for watching and accompanying me. this may be a setback for gaitong, but it cannot be the end of the gaitong account and the "gaitong group."
