"Move your shovels!" When the thief and the actor carried a log, the instructor shouted: "Don't be lazy, it's time to work... Throw away that rotten log, you are going to
Use it to push the tank out of the mud?"
The instructor was an experienced engineer. It was said that he had served in the army for five years and participated in the Soviet-Finnish War.
There was a similar logistics experience during the Soviet-Finnish War, but the difference was that the tanks faced a blanket of snow.
The thieves and actors couldn't help but turn their attention to Shulka.
"Report to the instructor!" Shulka shouted: "We do plan to do this!"
"What did you say?" The instructor didn't believe what he heard: "You mean you plan to use this piece of rotten wood to get the tank out?"
"Yes, comrade instructor!"
"Okay!" The instructor waved his hand and said in a mocking tone: "Then let's see how our great 'breakout hero' used that piece of rotten wood to get the tank out!"
As he spoke, the instructor rolled up Mahe cigarettes beside him, and then gathered with several engineering instructors to talk about something. From time to time, he also burst out laughing, which seemed to be saying that Shulka thought he had thought things through.
too easy.
From a common sense point of view, this is indeed the case. A log is really difficult to operate in this situation, because you can't stuff the log under the tracks. No one has that much strength... If you can stuff it in, you can still do it.
It would be faster to just lift the tank out.
But it will be different if there is a wire rope cover.
Shulka asked the thief to place a log across the track of the tank. The tank was 3 meters wide and the log was 3.3 meters long, so a portion grew out of each end.
The wire rope sleeves are put on both ends of the log, and the other end is stuck in the convex tooth hole of the track plate, and then the driver is asked to shift to first gear and start slowly... Although the track is still idling because it is stuck in the mud pit, it is stuck on the track.
The steel wire rope on the top will carry the logs under the crawler tracks, and then the logs will be rolled into the sunken ground and filled in perfectly.
This is actually to use the tank to roll in the logs to fill the hole. If one doesn't work, use two.
Then he stopped the car, untied the steel wire rope, and with a "boom" sound, the tank broke free from the mud pit and drove forward.
The soldiers cheered as if they had won a battle. The engineering instructors who were waiting to watch the excitement didn't even finish one cigarette. They stared at the escaped tank in disbelief.
Kalashnikov was so excited that he hugged Shulka like a child.
"Great, Lieutenant!" Kalashnikov said: "It's simple and practical, and all you need to prepare is just a log and two wire rope sets!"
This incident quickly alarmed Katukov.
Katukov was also a tank soldier. Of course he knew the importance of tanks getting out of trouble on mud roads, so he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the scene with his staff without saying a word.
"Comrade Shulka!" Katukov asked Shulka with interest: "I heard that you have another great invention?"
"Actually, it's not a great invention, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied: "I just found a better way to complete the task!"
In fact, it cannot be said that Shulka found it... If it were not for the modern knowledge he mastered, Shulka believes that he would not have thought of this method.
Colonel Katukov nodded and asked, "So, can you demonstrate it again?"
As he spoke, Colonel Katukov raised his head towards another T34 that was stuck in the mud.
"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka responded, and then repeated the previous operation, and soon successfully rescued the tank again.
Colonel Katukov nodded, put away the timepiece in his hand, and said: "It's amazing, Shulka, it only took seven minutes, and I believe it can be faster!"
"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka said: "If we cooperate well!"
"I have a question, Colonel!" The instructor said unconvinced: "What if we can't find such logs on the battlefield?"
This makes some sense, after all, it has requirements for logs, such as length, thickness, and the ability to withstand a certain amount of pressure.
Katukov turned his attention to Shulka.
"That's not a problem, Colonel!" Shulka replied, "Why don't we bring a log that meets the requirements?"
"That's right, Second Lieutenant!" Colonel Katukov laughed: "Each tank should carry one. It can become the standard equipment of the tank. I think that one more piece of wood like this will not crush the tank.
of!"
The soldiers couldn't help laughing.
"Now, Comrade Shulka!" Colonel Katukov patted Shulka on the shoulder and said, "You are the chief instructor. You need to teach this method to everyone, engineers, infantry and tank soldiers in a short time.
Understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka stood up and replied, while noticing the embarrassment on the face of the instructor next to Katukov.
This was a dramatic role change. In just a few days, the identities of instructor and teacher were reversed.
This turning point is a bit big, especially when it also tortures the instructors and even all the experienced engineers... They have encountered this problem before, but they all repeat the old and stupid methods before, and none of them even has the same problem.
One person thought about using this new method to solve it.
But it doesn't seem strange. It's like Columbus's first erect egg.
The training is not difficult, after all, the process of using logs to save yourself can be said to be mastered at a glance.
The problem is that the Soviets are careless and careless. Shulka is worried that there will be some faults during the implementation process, such as the driver starting the engine before the log is ready, or forgetting to untie the steel rope and causing it to be caught.
Failures occur within the tank tracks, etc.
Therefore, Shulka listed the steps one, two, and three of the usage process, plus a few precautions, and then distributed them.
It is the instructor's task to organize learning.
Colonel Katukov was very satisfied with this.
"But there is one more thing we need to pay attention to!" Colonel Katukov said, pointing to the notes on the document.
"What?"
"Secret!" Colonel Katukov said: "Strict confidentiality, and it must start immediately!"
Shulka understood as soon as he heard this.
Just because this method is so simple, if it reaches the ears of Germans...
Shulka couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of this.
You must know that one of the reasons why the Germans failed to attack Moscow was that the armored forces were blocked by mud and heavy snow. If they knew this method...
