Chapter 110: Minesweeping (Part 3)

Soon, all the mills in the village were collected together.

Major Gavrilov looked at their clumsy appearance and couldn't help but scold: "You idiots, who asked you to carry it in the car!" ”

It turned out that the soldiers in charge of doing this dismantled the mills and loaded them into the back compartments of the cars one by one, and then brought them over, for a total of five cars, ranging from two to three for each car, and there were thirteen in all.

"Comrade Major!" The staff officer said with a puzzled face: "If you don't load it into the car...... How can it be shipped? ”

Major Gavrilov couldn't help but shake his head.

Then he had it removed, and then ordered the sappers to secure the mill to the tank, along with the lever.

Seeing this, the staff officer seemed to understand something, and he could have tied the mill to the back of the car and dragged it over.

If it had been before, it would have been nothing for the staff officer to lift the mill up and down like this, but at this time it was a tense moment of victory, and the staff officer's practice undoubtedly slowed down the progress of the entire army.

"If you can hold up half Shulka!" Major Gavrilov said: "Then the Germans are not to worry!" ”

With that, Major Gavrilov ignored the embarrassed staff officer and directed the sappers to carry out the modification.

Retrofitting is actually quite easy.

First of all, the mill itself has a lever, and the mill is used to roll and mill rice, and it is usually used a lot, so the rolling performance is quite good.

The second is that mechanized troops generally carry engineering troops, and engineering troops have basic maintenance tools, and their task is to carry out necessary repairs in the event of a failure of the tank on the road.

Naturally, the modification was done by these engineers, welding a few iron rods to the front end of the tank, and then tying the rod of the mill to the iron rod was completed.

The first batch of six vehicles was modified, and they were divided into two groups of three each, the first group went ahead and the second group followed, leaving a grinding gap between the tanks and filling the entire road.

It was followed by two modified cars ready to be replaced.

When everything was ready, Major Gavrilov set off at the sound of an order.

The modified tank soon became a sight to behold, and along the way the soldiers looked at the strange guy with puzzled eyes, guessing what it was used for.

Soon, Shulka and the others, of course, ignored them, followed the modified tanks and slowly advanced, and after a while, they rushed to the front of the reconnaissance unit.

The scouts were resting, their eyes full of exhaustion, dissatisfaction, and fear.

Shulka could understand their feelings, and if the battle was to be ranked in order of danger and hardship, it would undoubtedly be a reconnaissance unit...... They may be ambushed by the enemy at any time, and they are very responsible, and they will be held accountable if they do not detect the enemy's ambush.

That's all there is to it, the worst thing is that when they encounter the enemy's mines, they will immediately have another mountain when the burden on their shoulders is heavy enough.

So much so that by now, these reconnaissance units were a little numb, and the teams sat on the side of the road and looked feebly at the tanks and cars passing in front of them, and they didn't even notice that the tanks were loaded with grinders in front of them.

But they can't be blamed for this, because the mill is really not so conspicuous when it is rolled by the muddy water on the road.

"Comrade Major!" An ensign hurried to Major Gavrilov and reported: "There is a minefield ahead, we have not ...... yet"

"I know!" Major Gavrilov interrupted the second lieutenant: "Leave it to us!" ”

The lieutenant looked puzzled, and then his eyes widened when he looked ahead to spot the mill in front of the tank.

And then the show begins:

With a "boom", a mine was detonated.

It was an "S" shaped jumping mine, and when it was activated, the mine body jumped out and exploded, shooting steel balls in all directions as usual...... But these steel balls were obviously useless, because they all hit the armor of the tank, making a "sonorous" sound.

Soon, the tank crew fell in love with the thunderbolt, because the sound of the steel ball was so pleasant that some even described it as "beautiful music".

Of course, not all tank crews think this way, and some people associate it with the feeling of bullets and shells hitting their armor, and they get nervous in an instant.

"Boom" another mine was detonated.

This is supposed to be a wooden-shelled mine, and the sound of its explosion is rather dull, after all, it is a wooden shell, and the Soviet soldiers are familiar with its sound.

It was supposed to have a pile of pieces of wood flying upwards, but that wasn't the case, because the pieces were all crushed under the mill.

Apparently, these pieces of wood did not do much damage to the stone mills, perhaps...... When the explosives explode, they leave a small crater in the mill.

"Boom" was another explosion.

This time it was supposed to be a mine dropped by the Germans, and the explosion was crisp and loud.

Of course, there was still no movement...... The mine has a very small charge, and its purpose is to make the person who steps on it only injure and not die.

The reason is simple, a wounded man on the battlefield will be much more troublesome than a dead man.

At this time, the scouts, who had been listless, stood up one after another, and all of them craned their necks to look this way.

Then, when they understood what was going on, some were happy, some were surprised, and some were angry.

Joy and surprise are not difficult to understand, but anger is because ...... Why should the reconnaissance troops pay such a high price for such an easy problem to solve?!

Shulka can only say sorry to this part of the people, he has only just thought of this method.

Or...... Let's just pretend that we didn't think of anything and didn't know, and you continued to clear mines?

Major Gavrilov danced with joy and shouted to Shulka in front of him: "See, Shulka, it's useful, we don't need to worry about those mines anymore!" ”

"Major!" Shulka said: "We haven't touched anti-tank mines yet!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom", and a mill walking in the back row was blown up and jumped more than a meter high, and then fell back heavily.

The charge of an anti-tank mine is not the same as that of an anti-infantry mine, and its goal is to blow up a tank or car.

Shulka and the others gathered around to see that the mill had been blown out of a big gap in the mouth of the bowl, and there were cracks one after another, and they were afraid that it would crack into several pieces if it rolled a few more times.

"It also shows that it works!" Major Gavrilov said: "Otherwise, it will be the tank that will be blown up at this moment!" ”

As he spoke, Major Gavrilov beckoned back, and soon another modified tank followed.

"The Germans were not so anti-tank mines!" Major Gavrilov said: "Moreover, we can replenish the mills as we pass through the village!" ”
