"We can't be sure, Comrade Akadyevich!" The commissar still insisted: "Maybe the Germans already knew that this plan would not work at all, or that this armor-piercing shell would not penetrate their tanks, so they intended to let him reveal it to us to gain trust!" ”

"But the information I got from Sisoi was different!" Colonel Akadyevich objected: "Sisoi told me that it is likely to succeed, and even after knowing the relevant data, it is not very technical, it is important to find a metal that is hard enough so that it can penetrate its armor when hitting a tank and not shatter like an egg!" ”

"Maybe it's not what Sisoy thinks!" "In any case, I think we should continue to observe and see what exactly he wants to do!" said the commissar. ”

Colonel Akadyevich nodded in agreement.

However, he had almost given up his suspicion of Shulka, who had planned to use Shulka as a "spy" to catch more big fish, but now Colonel Akadyevich thought they were wasting their time.

"Maybe he's just a genius, Comrade Commissar!" Colonel Akadyevich said: "As he said, there are always thoughts in the head about how to defeat the enemy, how to penetrate the armor of the enemy's tanks, so those ideas come up!" ”

"That's not something we need to think about!" The commissar replied coldly.

Colonel Akadyevich shrugged helplessly, and the commissar did not consider at all how much value this suspected spy captain would have to the Soviet Union if this could be true.

Shulka on the other side of the road certainly didn't know this, and he still trained the 82nd Infantry Regiment step by step.

Shulka was more scheming than before, and he even knew how to take advantage of the opportunity that Vallasha had given him to bring information to the outside world, including the 82nd Infantry Regiment, without a trace.

Shulka didn't want it, but he had to.

Because this is a battlefield without gunpowder, it is even more terrifying and unexpected, and he realized this on the day Shulka was transferred from the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

So, if Shulka wants to live, he must learn to hide himself and seize every opportunity in his favor.

On this day, Kalashnikov brought up another batch of ammunition and looked at Shulka with a mysterious expression.

"What's wrong?" Shulka asked.

"What's wrong?"

"It can't be because of Valratha!" Shulka said helplessly: "Please, Comrade Kalashnikov, after so long, I will be fine!" ”

"Do you think I don't know this?" Kalashnikov laughed: "Please, Comrade Shulka, you are a 'breakout hero', as long as you nod, the women of the whole Soviet Union will cheer for you!" If Comrade Valrasha gives up on you, it's her loss! ”

"Forget it! Comrade Kalashnikov! Shulka smiled and shook his head.

Then suddenly remembering something, he turned to Kalashnikov and asked: "Is it an anti-tank grenade?" Is it produced? ”

"You guessed it!" Kalashnikov nodded: "Worthy of Shulka!" ”

As he spoke, Kalashnikov removed an ammunition box from the car and opened it, revealing a thick anti-tank grenade.

“RPG42！” "THE LENGTH IS SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN THE RPG40, AND THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT A HOLLOW-CHARGED WARHEAD IS LOADED, BUT THE WEIGHT IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT, 1200 GRAMS, CAPABLE OF PENETRATING 90MM OF ARMOR!" ”

“90MM？”

"Yes!" Kalashnikov replied: "We know that it is not enough, because it is not possible to deal with the enemy's new tank, so we continue to work on it, hoping to increase its armor-piercing capabilities without increasing its weight!" ”

Shulka nodded.

AS FOR THE PRESENT, THE ARMOR-PIERCING CAPACITY OF 90MM IS SUFFICIENT, BECAUSE THE GERMAN "TIGER" HAS NOT YET BEEN EQUIPPED IN BATCHES, AND OTHER TANKS SUCH AS "THREE" AND "FOUR" ...... Under this anti-tank grenade is scum.

But of course, this requires the soldiers to be able to throw closely.

"Comrades!" Thinking about this, Shulka shouted at the Soviet soldiers who were practicing bomb throwing with training shells: "Who is shouting for live ammunition?" Now the live ammunition is here! ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then hula and surrounded them.

"It's this grenade?" Valery took one out of the ammunition box first, looked at it and looked at Shulka in disbelief: "Comrade Shulka, this is what you said about the new anti-tank grenade that can blow up enemy tanks?" ”

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

Valery and the soldiers glanced at each other, unable to hide the disappointment on their faces.

"It doesn't look any different from the original anti-tank grenade!" Valery said.

"I thought we'd get a big dick!" Another soldier said, "But it's about as heavy as the previous one!" ”

Shulka asked rhetorically, "If it's a big guy, can you throw it out?" Or do you want to rush at the enemy's tank with it? ”

The soldiers couldn't help but laugh.

"Why don't you try?" Shulka said: "You can even prepare a tank!" ”

There is never a shortage of discarded tanks for training, especially at the Stalingrad Tractor Plant, which is famous for its tanks, because there are many discarded tanks and even bombed-out German tanks from the front, which are piled together and ready to be remelted into steel.

Some of this was dragged by Shulka to the training plant for grenade training.

Valery found the wreckage of a tank "No. 3" from among those ones, but he quickly regretted it, he turned around and asked: "Comrade Shulka, should I start with tank No. 2?" ”

"No, you don't!" Shulka replied: "Just this one, note that this is live ammunition, as in normal training, move quickly!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Valery answered, and then made some preparations in the bunker.

In fact, this does not require much preparation, just lie down first to make sure that the cover is enough to hide yourself...... This is necessary for the soldier, the throw distance is only 15 to 20 meters, but the killing radius is 20 meters, and the anti-tank grenade is thrown at a high place (the tank has a height), so the shrapnel will fly down from the height.

If you don't completely hide yourself in the bunker, let alone actual combat, such training may cost you your life.

Then, Valery pulled the safety pin (the anti-tank grenade is a bump fuse, so the safety pin is used), quickly got up and threw the grenade at the target with all his might, and then fell to the ground again while the grenade flew to the target.

Just listen to the sound of "boom", and a puff of smoke rises from the wreckage of "No. 3".
