If there are minesweeper tanks, then it is needless to say how this battle should be fought.

Mines will become something that will hinder the advance of enemy troops, but they will have no effect on the Soviet troops.

In other words, the German armored forces were bogged down in the vast landmines, while the Soviets were able to come and go unhindered.

As a result, it was possible for the Soviet army to win even with a small number of tanks.

Here's the problem...... Shulka and others did not know where the development of this minesweeper tank had been.

But now there seems to be no other option, and after Major Zakhakavich reported the problem to Zhukov, Zhukov also seemed to agree with Shulka and others.

"We can't rush into action!" Zhukov said: "The enemy's attack is very scrupulous, and they are advancing with great care, and I believe that these ***** invaders are worried about the counteroffensive of the 4th Tank Brigade." If they know that the 4th Tank Brigade has only about 20 tanks, or that the 4th Tank Brigade was wiped out by them during the attack, then they will be relieved to march towards Moscow, and attack from all directions at the same time, then we will be in danger! ”

This is one of the reasons why Zhukov kept the 4th Tank Brigade strictly secretive, and they must not let the enemy know that the 4th Tank Brigade was so weak that it could not organize even a single counteroffensive.

Then Zhukov confessed: "Hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

Although this sentence was only mentioned casually, it was curious and excited to hear it in the ears of Zahakavich and others.

Needless to say, it's good to have reinforcements.

The reason for the curiosity is that the Soviet army at this time can be said to have basically evacuated the strength of the rear, and even if there are reinforcements, it is a militia with no combat effectiveness...... Although these militiamen were enthusiastic, they were poorly trained and poorly equipped, and they could almost be said to be vulnerable in front of the German armored forces, and could only be regarded as cannon fodder to death, and sometimes they were even used by the Germans, such as defeating them to rush the Soviet defense line like a duck.

So, which reinforcement army will be worth bringing up Zhukov?!

Shulka knew what kind of reinforcement it was...... Far Eastern Front.

The Soviet High Command had not been afraid to transfer the Far Eastern Front to reinforce Moscow because it feared that Japan would cooperate with the German offensive in an offensive of the Soviet Union.

(Note: At this time, the Japanese Kwantung Army was stationed in Northeast China to eyeing the Soviet army, and in 1939, that is, two years earlier, the Battle of Normenhan was fought, and the Japanese army was defeated)

At this time, the Soviet High Command learned from the spies that the Japanese had no intention of attacking the Soviet army, so they urgently transferred reinforcements from the Far East.

These units are very different from the poorly qualified and poorly equipped units that the Soviet Army hastily assembled.

First of all, most of them are Siberians, who have lived in cold Siberia for a long time, and have long been accustomed to the cold and have a set of methods for fighting in the cold, which is very suitable for fighting in Moscow in winter.

Secondly, a considerable part of them are veterans of the war with the Japanese two years ago, and have a wealth of combat experience and training. (Note: The Battle of Normenheim lasted four months)

Therefore, modern historians believe that the reason why the German army was unable to capture Moscow in World War II was due to the fact that there was a new force from the Far East to support it.

Of course, the 4th Tank Brigade should now be added.

Hearing this, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From the beginning, Shulka was worried that he would not be able to hold up reinforcements from this force...... He secured Kyiv and allowed the Germans to attack Moscow a month earlier, which gave an extra month between the arrival of reinforcements from the Far East and the German offensive.

Now, it looks like he's about to fill that gap.

Then, as soon as Zhukov gave the order, Kalashnikov rushed to Moscow that night.

Kalashnikov hugged Shulka warmly when he saw him.

"Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov patted Shulka on the shoulder and smiled: "I heard about your combat deeds, and they all said that I left the 4th Tank Brigade was a wrong choice......"

"Why?" Shulka asked, confused.

"Because if I had been with you, I might have been a hero by now!"

"Do you think so too?" Shulka asked.

"That's what I think sometimes!" Kalashnikov replied: "But I don't regret it, because I think you're right, I like life now, I like to study the equipment!" ”

"That's good!" Shulka breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Has the demining tank been developed?" ”

"Of course!" Kalashnikov replied: "I have already brought it!" ”

The experimental site is also in the basement...... It was originally cleared for tanks, but there were only 26 tanks left, and a large area was vacated for guards to use for experiments.

As Shulka envisioned, the demining tank was actually a large hollow iron roller in front of the tank.

"We modified it with a T26!" Kalashnikov explains: "The reason is that the T26 is much safer, more maneuverable than other tanks, and at the same time lighter!" ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Actually, the best tank is the T34, but the T34 should be used in combat, and converting it into a demining tank would be a terrible thing.

"We designed the wheels in front of it to be the width of the tank!" Kalashnikov continued: "In this way it guarantees that the tank tracks will not be harmed by mines!" ”

This is the lesson of the stone mill before the attraction.

The stone mill is not as wide as a tank, so there will inevitably be some mines or even anti-tank mines that will leak through the edge and be run over by the tank tracks, and then there will be a "boom...... Don't worry about that now.

"Its height!" Kalashnikov stepped forward and patted the tall drum: "Almost to the height of the tank, we only leaked a little space in the upper part of the tank, and here we installed a downward looking periscope!" ”

"Does this increase its protection?" Shulka asked.

"Yes!" Kalashnikov raised his thumb and raised his thumb at Shulkayan: "Nothing escapes your eyes, Comrade Shulka...... That is to say, it can not only clear mines, but the drum in front can also become a part of the protection, we set its thickness to 15 mm, if the enemy anti-tank wants to penetrate it, it will have to pass through two layers, that is, 30 mm, plus the thickness of the T26's own 15mm armor, that is, 45mm, which is almost the thickness of the armor of the T34! ”

Shulka looked at Zahakavich and the others, and saw that they nodded again and again.

If the frontal protection reaches the level of T34, it can better coordinate with T34.

"How's the performance of passing through the mud?" Major Gavrilov asked.

"That's not a problem, Major!" Major Zahakavich said: "The temperature has dropped, and most of those muddy fields have frozen! ”
