"We can't be sure, Comrade Akadiyevich!" the political commissar still insisted: "Maybe the Germans already knew that this plan would not work at all, or that this armor-piercing bullet could not penetrate their tanks, so they deliberately asked him to reveal it to us
To gain trust!”
"But the information I got from Sisoy is different!" Colonel Akadiyevich objected: "Sisoy told me that it is likely to succeed, and even after knowing the relevant data, the technical content is not very high.
The important thing was to find a metal that was hard enough so that when it hit a tank it could penetrate its armor and not shatter like an egg!”
"Maybe the truth is not what Sisoy thinks!" said the political commissar: "In any case, I think we should continue to observe and see what he wants to do!"
Colonel Akadievich nodded in agreement.
However, he had almost given up doubting Shulka. Originally, he planned to use Shulka as a "spy" to catch more big fish, but now Colonel Akadiyevich thought they were wasting time.
"Maybe he is a genius, Comrade Political Commissar!" Colonel Akadiyevich said: "As he said, he is always thinking about how to defeat the enemy and how to penetrate the armor of the enemy tanks, so there is
Got those thoughts!”
"That's not something we need to consider!" the political commissar replied coldly.
Colonel Akadiyevich shrugged helplessly. The political commissar did not even consider how valuable the captain suspected of being a spy would be to the Soviet Union if this was possible.
Of course Shulka on the other side didn't know this, he still trained the 82nd Infantry Regiment step by step.
At this time, Shulka was more scheming than before, and he even knew how to take advantage of the opportunities Valrasa brought to him to bring information beneficial to him to the outside world, including the 82nd Infantry Regiment, without leaving any trace.
Shulka didn't want to do this, but he had to do it.
Because this is a battlefield without gunpowder, it is even scarier and more surprising than a real battlefield. Shurka realized this the day he was transferred from the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.
Therefore, if Shulka wants to survive, he must learn to hide himself and seize every opportunity that is beneficial to him.
That day Kalashnikov brought up another batch of ammunition and looked at Shulka with a mysterious face.
"What's wrong?" Shulka asked.
"What did you say happened?"
"It can't be because of Varrasa!" Shulka said helplessly: "Please, Comrade Kalashnikov, it's been so long, nothing will happen to me!"
"Do you think I don't know this?" Kalashnikov laughed: "Come on, Comrade Shulka, you are a 'breakout hero'. As long as you nod, women all over the Soviet Union will cheer for you! Varrasha
If a comrade gives up on you, it will be her loss!"
"Forget it! Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka smiled and shook his head.
Then he suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Kalashnikov, and asked: "Is it an anti-tank grenade? Has it been produced?"
"You guessed it right!" Kalashnikov nodded: "As expected of Shulka!"
As he spoke, Kalashnikov took down an ammunition box from the car and opened it, revealing a series of thick anti-tank grenades.
"RPG42!" Kalashnikov said: "The length is slightly longer than that of RPG40. This is because it needs to hold a hollow-charge warhead, but the weight is not much different, 1200 grams, which can penetrate 90MM of armor!"
"90MM?"
"Yes!" Kalashnikov replied: "We know that it is not enough because it cannot deal with the enemy's new tanks, so we are still continuing research, hoping to increase its armor-piercing capability without increasing its weight!"
Shulka nodded.
As for the present, the armor-piercing capability of 90MM is enough, because the German "Tiger" has not yet been equipped in batches. Other tanks such as "No. 3" and "No. 4"... are equipped with this anti-tank grenade.
scum.
But of course, this requires the soldiers to be close to the throwing distance.
"Comrades!" Thinking, Shulka shouted to the Soviet soldiers who were practicing bombing with training bombs: "Who is calling for live ammunition? Now the live ammunition is here!"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then cheered and surrounded him.
"Is this this kind of grenade?" Valery took out one from the ammunition box first. After looking at it for a while, he looked at Shulka dubiously: "Comrade Shulka, this is what you said can blow up enemy tanks.
New anti-tank grenade?”
"Yes!" Shulka nodded.
Valery and the soldiers looked at each other, unable to hide the disappointment on their faces.
"It looks no different from the original anti-tank grenade!" Valery said.
"I thought we were going to get a big one!" said another soldier, "but it weighs about the same as before!"
Shulka asked rhetorically: "If it's a big guy, can you throw it? Or do you want to hold it and rush towards the enemy tank?"
The soldiers couldn't help laughing.
"Why don't you try it?" Shulka said, "You can even prepare a tank!"
There is never a shortage of used tanks for training, especially at the Stalingrad Tractor Factory, which is famous for producing tanks, because there are many used tanks and even bombed German tanks brought from the front line.
Stacked together to be remelted into steel.
Some of them were dragged by Shulka to the training factory for grenade training.
Valery found the wreckage of a "No. 3" tank among those vehicles, but he soon regretted it. He turned around and asked: "Comrade Shulka, should I start with the 'No. 2' tank?"
"No need!" Shulka replied: "Just this car, please note that this is live ammunition, just like usual training, you have to move fast!"
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Valery responded, and then made some preparations in the bunker.
In fact, this does not require much preparation. You just need to lie down first and make sure the bunker is enough to hide you... This is a must for soldiers. The throwing distance is only 15 to 20 meters, but the killing radius is 20 meters. At the same time, the anti-tank grenade can still be thrown.
High (the tank has height), so shrapnel will fly downward from the high place.
If you don't hide yourself completely in the bunker, let alone actual combat, you may lose your life in such training.
Then, Valery pulled the safety pin (the anti-tank grenade has a collision fuse, so the safety pin was used), stood up quickly and threw the grenade towards the target with all his strength. When the grenade flew to the target, he lay down on the ground again.
.
Just hearing a "boom", a burst of smoke rose from the wreckage of "No. 3".
