No matter how many people there are, when they average out over a vast area, the density of the population will be greatly reduced.

Now, for example, after the arrival of the 9th Mechanized Corps of the Soviet Union, the German attack was blocked at the Stry, and at the same time they spread along the river bank, preparing for the German attack across the river.

However, they could not spread their defensive surface too wide, they simply did not have that many troops, so, when they reached ten kilometers downstream, they were left with only one infantry squad here, not so much to defend as to reconnoiter here, and if something unexpected happened, it was the right thing to report to their superiors as soon as possible.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and the Soviet soldiers who were in charge of guarding here did not have tents, so they could only temporarily set up a grass hut in the grass on the bank of the river to shelter from the wind and rain.

Two soldiers were left to stand guard outside, the bearded Gulaev, holding his rifle and carrying the river bank on his back, smoking cigarettes.

Listening to the crickets on the riverbank, he seemed to remember something, and said to the new warrior on the side: "Semyon, how many brothers do you have in your family?" ”

Many people think that when it comes to the battlefield, soldiers talk about the situation every day, but in fact, on the contrary, many soldiers are reluctant to mention what the situation is on the battlefield, they prefer to talk about their families, talk about their childhood, the bloodshed and sacrifices that happen every day, is the last thing they want to talk about.

"I also have two older brothers, both of whom have joined the army." Semyon said: "When I came to join the army, my mother was still unwilling, crying and hugging me, my father was very open-minded, he thought that if he was a man, he should go to the battlefield to make contributions. ”

Hearing his words, Gulayev sighed, took the last puff of cigarette into his lungs, and then spit it out, this feeling made him have a moment of peace.

In the past two years, the Soviets have conscripted a large number of troops and continued to expand, and it is also very common for families like Semyon's to be in the situation, and the three brothers have all gone to the battlefield.

When a country spends all its strength on the military, the country is actually about to end, and Gulayev shook his head vigorously, put this idea away, and continued to Semyon: "Is there a lover? ”

Hearing this, Semyon immediately blushed, and before he could say anything, suddenly, he heard a rumbling sound in the distance.

This sound was quite unusual, it did not come from the surface of the river, but seemed to come from the river, which made both of them stunned.

What's going on?

Grabbing his rifle, Semyon turned around, lay down in the grass, and then looked into the distance from this side, the moon was very round tonight, and the quiet moonlight shone on the river, and the hazy shadow gradually became clear.

What is that cylinder-like thing on the surface of the river?

Could it be that the Germans crossed the river in a bathtub? The cylinder looked like a large bathtub, and on top of it, a German soldier was watching, who was not paddling, but was able to float on the water.

What's going on?

No one told Gulaev, Gulayev rubbed his eyes and continued to look at the river in front of him, at this time, the other party was already very close, only a few tens of meters away.

"Semyon, go and wake up our people and tell the squad leader that the Germans are coming!" Gulayev said to Semyon.

Unknowingly, Gulayev treated this Semyon as his younger brother and asked him to run to report, in fact, leaving him the hope of life. At the same time, Gulayev was also strange, and he was eager to see what was going on.

"Yes." Semyon stood up and wanted to run back, but by this time, Guraev had already noticed that something was wrong, and he shouted in a low voice: "Damn, bend over and run!" ”

"Da-da-da-da." At this moment, the opposite side suddenly opened fire!

Dense bullets swept towards Semyon, and in the moonlight, the other party actually hit quite accurately, and Semyon's body was almost just standing up before being put down by the bullet.

His body fell weakly to one side, his eyes were wide open, at this time, his body was numb, and he did not feel pain, he watched in amazement as the hole in his body was punched out, blood was gurgling out of it, and his life was rapidly withering.

"Semyon, Semyon, hold on!" Gulayev covered the bullet holes in Semyon's body with his hands, trying to plug the blood inside, but it was useless, and soon, his hands were also covered with blood.

"Gulaev, I'm going to die, right? Tell my father, I, I didn't embarrass him. Semyon said these words with an innocent smile on his face, and his arms were hanging down weakly.

His eyes slowly closed.

"Da Da Da!" At this moment, the other party's gunfire rang out again, and Gulaev's side came the sound of bullets hitting the ground, and he almost rolled and crawled to dodge the blow, his heart was already occupied by fear, the other party could see himself, how did the other party do it? As a veteran, Gulayev felt that he was well hidden.

Gulayev lay on the ground, motionless, at this time, the rumbling roar was louder, and with the roar, the ground was also trembling, Gulaev's eyes widened, and he saw a scene that he had never seen before.

First there was a big pipe, which kept coming out of the water, longer and longer, and then beneath the big pipe, the tank also came out of the water wet.

First the barrel of the tank, the turret, then the hull, on which the water was still flowing outward, and the tracks were crushing the riverbank, and so it started.

That big pipe was used for aeration, and with the help of that pipe, the German tank actually drove directly from the bottom of the water!

At this time, Gulayev had already understood, but unfortunately, he couldn't move at all, his gun, at most one or two Germans, but as long as he fired, he would definitely be killed by the other side.

He wants to live, and he has to tell his superiors what he sees.

The Tiger tank has finally come from the bottom of the river!

Modlin's face was quite excited, he smoothed the assault rifle in his hand into the turret below, and shouted to the people inside: "Quick, take these things apart, we must quickly enter the combat state!" ”

When sealing and installing, you must be careful, once there is a water leak, it is catastrophic, but now to dismantle, it is absolutely big, even the screw at the bottom of the snorkel does not need to be screwed, just separate from the top of the base.

Throw away the snorkel, and then remove the clogged stuff from the barrel, and the tank will be initially operational.
