Many book friends have questions about the chapter about oil barrels detonating magnetic mines. Here is a unified answer:
The first is the issue of the upper limit of 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 there is no upper limit for magnetic mines in World War II. How easy it is to detonate is the earth itself.
Any magnetic field may detonate it, making it a self-destructing mine.
This raises a question: Can a mine that is so sensitive and so easy to detonate still be effective?
This has never been an issue to consider with things like landmines and sea mines. Landmines can also be easily detonated. For example, a small animal or wind or rain can easily detonate a trip mine.
Their definition is that they are cheap and can be deployed quickly in large quantities to deter and block the passage of enemies. Some accidental detonations do not affect their strategic goals at all.
The second problem is the magnetism of the iron barrel... The hull of the ship has magnetic properties to detonate magnetic mines after being knocked. The iron barrel will inevitably be knocked during the processing process. There will be friction, collision, rolling, etc. during transportation. It is not difficult to imagine that it will also
They must be magnetic, and they are floating in large quantities on the river. It is unreasonable to say that because the iron barrels are not magnetic, they cannot detonate such a sensitive magnetic mine...
Book friends are welcome to question and ask questions. Now because it is a free chapter, you can answer it like this. There is no charge for writing more. It will be more troublesome after joining v.

The car swayed violently amidst the explosions of shells. The soldiers in the car were shaken to pieces, and some even had their heads broken and bloody. 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 wave caused by the shell. The mud and water falling from the sky completely covered the windshield of the car, making it impossible to see the road ahead. There were even shrapnel flying into the car and hitting the car.
The iron handrail made a clanking sound.
Several times Sulka thought the car was going to overturn, but in the end the car drove out of the blockade without any danger.
"Wow!" Uncle Alek shouted like a child: "I knew it, I knew I could come over! Did you see it? Did you see it..."
The soldiers in the trunk were all in shock, so they didn't reply.
Then, they discovered that a car following them was blown up into the sky with a "bomb", and a body even fell from the sky and fell to the roof of the car and then fell down again... It could hardly be said to be a corpse.
, but a bloody mass.
Then there was a "wow" sound, and several soldiers couldn't help but vomited out. They didn't know whether it was because of nervousness, motion sickness or the corpse.
"How did you do it, Uncle Alek?" Shulka asked.
"This is nothing, comrade platoon leader!" Alek replied: "What 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.
There are very few!”
Only then did Shulka suddenly realize that the secret path was really the best in his profession.
After driving forward for a while, the sound of gunfire and artillery gradually became intensive.
As mentioned before, the 9th Army marched in the order of reconnaissance battalion, auxiliary battalion, and main force. The reconnaissance battalion and auxiliary battalion walking in the front were obviously in contact with the enemy, but they did not seem to take advantage.
Sure enough, the next second the order was conveyed in the 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 new recruits caused trouble again.
"Comrade Platoon Commander, my rifle is missing!" a recruit reported: "It must have been thrown out when the car passed through the blockade just now!"
Shulka immediately heard Captain Davydov yelling angrily: "Why don't you get rid of yourself?!"
This is true for recruits, but it seems that he cannot be blamed. The bumps of the car when crossing the blockade cannot be controlled by humans. It is even dangerous to carry the rifle on your shoulder or hold it in your hand at that time, because it may You may injure yourself or your comrades.
"Follow the troops!" Shulka gave him an idea: "If a comrade dies, you can pick up his gun. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the recruit replied, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Shulka knew what this look meant: he must hope that one of his comrades would die, otherwise he would have to rush into the enemy's defense line with bare hands.
"Forward!" the company commander waved his hand and ordered.
The troops hunkered down and ran forward for more than a hundred meters in the muddy water. After turning a corner along the road, they saw T26 tanks lining up on the road and on both sides, with their muzzles facing forward and their engines " There was a rumbling sound, and the hot exhaust gas formed a cloud of unpleasant smoke in the rear.
"Follow the tank!" the company commander ordered: "Just like you did in training!"
The soldiers were divided into platoons. Behind each tank was a platoon, divided into left and right sides holding rifles, ready to lean out and shoot at any time.
Soon, the tank started moving, and the soldiers followed behind and walked forward slowly, faster and faster, and soon they had to trot to keep up.
This was not a good experience, because the air was filled with unpleasant exhaust fumes and the mud and water rolled up by the tank tracks made it difficult for Shulka, who was following the first row, to even breathe.
But Shulka did not take these to heart, because he knew that greater difficulties were still ahead...the enemy's defense line.
The tank slowed down 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 on the battlefield and Soviet corpses scattered everywhere.
What frightened Shulka were the craters on the position... This meant that the enemy had blocked the front of the position with artillery fire, and the 15mm thick armor of the T26 tank was not enough to withstand the bombardment of artillery fire.
"They are Germans!" Shulka heard the veteran's cry.
Shurka understood what the veteran said, which meant that this battle would not be as easy as the previous battle against the Romanian army, even if the Romanian army was an armored division and the German army in front of it was an infantry division.
Shulka turned his attention to Davydov, who was following another group of troops, and he found that Davydov also frowned.
Shulka hunched over and ran a few steps to the side before arriving next to Davydov and said: "Comrade company commander, the situation is not good!"
"I saw it, Comrade Shulka!" Davydov replied: "Our attack was a bit hasty!"
"Comrade Shulka!" the deputy instructor appeared out of nowhere and said, "I think now is not the time to talk about this. You should go back and command your platoon!"
To a certain extent, the deputy instructor was right, because the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Discussing whether to attack like this at this time would only affect the morale and morale of the troops.
But Davydov didn't think so.
"Comrade Olga!" Davydov stopped the deputy instructor: "If you want to survive this battle, shut your mouth!"
"But Comrade Davydov!" the deputy instructor retorted: "We should not discuss whether we can survive at this time. This is a sign of cowardice. We should think more about how to capture the enemy's defense line..."
Davydov was not going to continue arguing with the deputy instructor. He turned to Shulka and asked: "Is there anything you can do?"
This made Shulka very embarrassed.
Because the troops had to attack forward, 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 this meant, which was to use the flesh and blood of infantry against the German machine guns and mortars.
At this time, Shurka 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 dug out and piled outside the anti-tank trench, its depth is probably only 60 centimeters deep, and many parts may be shallower...Sulka knew this because he had dug trenches.
And anti-tank trenches of this depth obviously cannot trap tanks.
