USSR 1941

There are many book friends who have questions about the chapter on oil barrels detonating magnetic mines. Let’s give a unified answer here:

The first is the upper limit of the detonation of magnetic mines. Some book friends said that there is an upper limit. The magnetism of the fuel tank cannot detonate the mines... The fact is that the magnetic mines of World War II have no upper limit. How easy it is to detonate is the earth itself The magnetic field of the magnetic field may detonate it, making it a kind of mine that does not attack and explodes.

This raises a question: Can a sea mine that is so sensitive and so easy to detonate still work?

This has never been a problem to be considered for things such as mines and sea mines. Landmines are also easy to be detonated. For example, a small animal, or wind and rain can easily detonate a trip mine.

They are cheap by definition, can be quickly deployed in large quantities to deter and block enemy passage, and some accidental detonations do not affect their strategic goals at all.

The second is the magnetic problem of iron barrels... The hull is struck with magnetic properties to detonate magnetic mines. Iron barrels will inevitably be beaten during the process of processing, and there will be friction, collision, rolling, etc. during transportation. It is not difficult to imagine that it will also There will be magnetism, and they are floating in large quantities on the river surface densely. It is a bit unreasonable to say that such a sensitive magnetic mine cannot be detonated because the iron barrel is not magnetic.

Questions and questions from book lovers are welcome. Now because it is a free chapter, you can answer it like this, and there is no charge for writing more. After entering V, it will be more troublesome.

*************

The car swayed violently amidst bursts of shell explosions, and the soldiers in the carriage were all shaken to pieces, and some even fell to their heads, but they didn't care about it, because the shells were right there. The car exploded front and rear.

Shulka could even feel the shock waves from the shells. The muddy water that fell from the sky completely covered the windshield of the car, making it impossible to see the road ahead. The iron railing "ding ding" sounded.

Several times Shulka thought the car was about to overturn, but in the end the car drove out of the closed area without any danger.

"Wow!" Uncle Alek yelled like a child: "I knew it, I knew I could come! Did you see it? Did you see it..."

The soldiers in the rear compartment were all still in shock, so they didn't reply.

Then, they found that a car following behind was blasted into the sky with a "boom", and even a corpse fell from the sky and fell to the roof of the car and then fell again... It was hardly a corpse , but a bloody mass.

Then with a "wow", several soldiers couldn't help but vomited out, and they didn't know if it was because of nervousness, motion sickness, or the dead body.

"How did you do it, Uncle Alek?" Shulka asked.

"It's nothing, Comrade Platoon Leader!" Alek replied: "All you need to do is to drive as close to the crater as possible, and if you can, you even have to go over the crater. Because... two shells hit the same place It's very few!"

Only then did Shuerka suddenly realize that the secret path is really the best in everything.

After driving forward for a while, the sound of gunfire and artillery gradually became denser.

As I said before, the Ninth Army marched in the order of the reconnaissance battalion, auxiliary battalion, and main force. The reconnaissance battalion and auxiliary battalion walking ahead were obviously engaged with the enemy, but they didn't seem to take advantage.

Sure enough, the order was conveyed in the next second with a sharp whistle: "Everyone get out of the car and prepare for battle!"

After jumping out of the car, Shulka asked the soldiers to check their equipment.

At this time, the recruits made trouble again.

"Comrade platoon leader, my rifle is missing!" a recruit reported: "It must have been thrown out when the car passed the blockade just now!"

Immediately, Shulka heard Lian Davydov shout angrily: "Why don't you throw yourself out?!"

That's what recruits do,

However, this does not seem to be his fault. The bumping of the car when passing the blockade cannot be controlled by manpower. At that time, it was even dangerous to carry the rifle on the shoulder or hold it in the hand, because it might hurt yourself or comrades.

"Follow the troops!" Shulka gave him an idea: "If a comrade dies, you can pick up his gun, understand?"

"Understood!" The recruit replied, and at the same time, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Shulka knew what that look meant: he had to hope that one of his comrades died, or he would have to charge into the enemy lines with his bare hands.

"Forward!" The company commander waved his hand and ordered.

The troops ran forward for more than 100 meters in the muddy water. After turning a corner along the road, they saw T26 tanks lined up on the road and both sides. Rumble, and the hot exhaust forms a cloud of foul-smelling smoke in the rear.

"Follow the tank!" ordered the company commander, "Just like you did in training!"

The soldiers were divided into platoons, and each tank was followed by a platoon, which was divided into left and right sides with rifles, ready to lean out and shoot at any time.

Soon, the tank started to move, and the soldiers followed slowly forward, faster and faster, and soon had to trot to keep up.

It was not a good experience, because the smell of exhaust fumes in the air and the muddy water rolled up by the tank tracks made it difficult for Shulka, who was following the first row, to even breathe.

But Shulka didn't take this to heart, because he knew that even greater difficulties lay ahead...the enemy's defenses.

The tank decelerated and turned a corner, and then the battlefield appeared in front of everyone: it was an open field, and the Soviet army had obviously launched several attacks, because there were already several destroyed T26s and Soviet corpses scattered about on the battlefield.

What frightened Shulka was the bomb craters on the position... This means that the enemy blocked the front of the position with artillery fire, and the 15MM thick armor of the T26 tank was not enough to withstand the bombing of the artillery fire.

"They're Germans!" Shulka heard the veteran shout.

Shulka understood the meaning of the veteran's words, which meant that this battle would not be as easy as dealing with the Romanian army before, even though the Romanian army was an armored division and the German army in front of it was an infantry division.

Shulka cast his eyes on Davydov, who was following another group of troops, and he noticed that Davydov was also frowning.

Shulka ran a few steps to the side with his waist down and came to Davydov, and said: "Comrade company commander, the situation is not good!"

"I saw it, Comrade Shulka!" Davydov replied: "Our attack is a bit hasty!"

"Comrade Shulka!" The deputy instructor came out of nowhere and said, "I don't think this is the time to talk about these things. You should go back and command your platoon!"

From a certain point of view, the deputy instructor is still correct, because now the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. Discussing whether to attack like this at this time will only affect the morale and morale of the army.

But Davydov didn't think so.

"Comrade Olga!" Davydov stopped the assistant instructor: "If you want to survive this battle, keep your mouth shut!"

"But Comrade Davydov!" The deputy instructor retorted: "We shouldn't be discussing whether we can survive at this time. This is a cowardly performance. We should think about how to attack the enemy's defense line..."

Davydov didn't intend to continue arguing with the assistant instructor. He turned to Shulka and asked, "What can you do?"

This made Shulka very embarrassed.

Because the troops had to attack forward, and the Germans would inevitably bombard them with artillery fire, and the T26 would definitely not be able to withstand these artillery fires... Then, the Soviet soldiers had to attack the enemy's defense line without tank cover.

Shulka knew what that meant, and that was the machine guns and mortars of the Germans with the flesh and blood of infantry.

At this time, Shulka vaguely saw an anti-tank trench not far in front of the German army. To be precise, it was an unfinished anti-tank trench. As mentioned before, the Germans did not have enough time to prepare.

Judging from the amount of soil that was dug out and piled outside the anti-tank trench, its depth is only 60 cm deep, and many parts may be shallower... Shulka has dug trenches so he knows this.

And this deep anti-tank trench obviously cannot trap tanks.

So Shulka had an idea.
