The next day the Germans still did not attack the Mamayev Gang, but in other places the two sides continued to engage in fierce fighting, Andrei knew that the pressure on the troops in the south was very great, the Germans attacked again and cut off the other troops and Lyudnikov's 138th Infantry Division, the 138th Infantry Division was surrounded, at the same time, the Germans continued to storm the Sovetskaya Street and the Central Railway Station, and at the same time, the southern settlements were also continuing to fight with the Germans, and the staff officers in the division headquarters were busy nervously, And Andrei looked at the situation nervously in the division headquarters, now the battle is still as anxious and fierce as in history, although now he has let his troops learn how to fight street fighting, but now the battle situation is still not better, after all, it is tens of millions of soldiers who are fighting, not just themselves, and they can play no greater role than Chuikov and them!

And here the staff officers from time to time on the map to mark the situation of the battlefield, at the same time the staff officers also need to write the analysis of the battle situation according to the situation, Andrei, the division commander needs to do is to make a decision, with the expansion of the war situation now accept more staff officers, now the division headquarters Andrei's task is a lot easier, here Brezhnev is also nervously watching the battle situation, now this situation makes him extremely nervous, after all, although the Soviet army has been stubbornly holding on, but now this situation can't help but make people's scalp tingle, Seeing that Brezhnev took out his cigarette case again, Andrei next to him said: "Ilyich, you can also take it easy, this cigarette is too much, it's really bad, this division is going to be turned into a bacon factory." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Listening to Andrei's protest, Brezhnev smiled awkwardly and said: "Okay, okay." Then he put the cigarette in his pocket, picked up the teacup and drank tea, and although Andrei here was the same, he still knew that although he stirred up history, the development of history remained unchanged, so he said to Brezhnev: "Ilyich, you have to have confidence in our fighters, the Germans have been attacking for a month, and we are not also resisting." ”

Hearing Andrei's statement, Brezhnev also breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, the Germans have been attacking for so long, and our military flag is still flying, and it must be the same now!" ”

Akhromeyev, the deputy chief of staff here, also said: "Yes, we are firmly holding our positions now, and these Germans will not be able to attack for a long time!" After listening to Akhromeyev's words, Andrei felt that it was not good to be too optimistic, so he said to Akhromeyev: "Comrade Akhromeyev, blind optimism is not okay, is there a story you want to hear?" As soon as these words came out, even Brezhnev became interested and said: "Andrey, what's the story?" ”

So Andrei said eloquently: "Before the establishment of a certain country in the East, the ancestors were nothing more than slaves of a big country. Later, his ancestors rose up and rebelled against the rule of the great powers. Andrei said eloquently, "In order to suppress the ancestors, the great powers built a fortress to suppress the ancestors!" ”

"The fortress had steel gates as an impregnable line of defense, and was equipped with heavy machinery such as catapults and giant crossbows, and the barracks were built with artemisia and steel as columns." André continued, "Artemisia is a plant that, when dried, is not only slender and straight, but also hard, and can be used to make arrow shafts. Pillars made of steel can be melted down and used to cast arrowheads from iron. In this way, even if the feather arrows are used up, the defenders can still hold out for a long, long time with those ready-made supplies. ”

"Is it necessary to make the fortress so strong?" Akhromeyev asked.

"Of course it is necessary!" Andrei said, "As a base for attacking the ancestors, this fortress must be attackable and retreated. And it has to be long-lasting. Presumably, the big countries want to continue their rule over the ancestors of the small countries! ”

"So at that time, this fortress also had a large collection of sophisticated weapons, all of which were made by the best craftsmen of the great powers." "The battle must have been fierce! That's why the big powers need so many weapons. ”

"The armies of the great powers have used this fortress and have always succeeded in suppressing the rebellious ancestors." "But then the ancestors of the small country produced a genius general, and he used isolated tactics, which finally made the fortress useless!" ”

"Isolation tactics?" Brezhnev asked curiously.

"It is to bypass this fortress and directly attack the other territories of the great powers." Andrei explained that "then a situation of encirclement and blockade of this fortress was formed around the perimeter." So that there was a lack of food in the fortress, and in the end had to surrender! ”

"So this trick must have worked?" Akhromeyev asked anxiously.

"Yes." Andrei nodded and said, "Later, the army of the great power finally lost this fortress and withdrew from the territory of the ancestors. A new state was formed here. ”

After hearing this, Akhromeyev said directly: "Comrade division commander, I understand what you mean, the key to the battle is still in the people, although we are now in a stable defense, but we must not be paralyzed by this!" André continued: "Yes, in fact, the Maginot Line was very strong at the beginning of the French, and there were about 5,800 permanent fortifications for various purposes in the entire line, with a density of 15 per kilometer of frontage. The roof and walls of the strongest reinforced concrete fortifications were up to 3.5 meters thick, and the armor of the armored towers was 300 mm thick, both of which were resistant to direct hits from two 420-mm mortar shells. But the Germans actually went around it and turned it into an ornament. ”

Brezhnev here: "Yes, no matter how strong the defense is, there are flaws, and there is actually no real fortress in this world that cannot be attacked. Andrei said: "Therefore, there is a sage in ancient China who said that the weather and seasons that are conducive to combat are not as good as the geographical situation that is conducive to warfare; The geographical situation conducive to the operation is not comparable to the popular desire and internal unity in the operation. A small city with a radius of three miles, but an outer city with a radius of seven miles, surrounded on all sides and attacked it, but could not win. Attacking a city by encircling it on all sides must have obtained weather and seasons that are conducive to combat, but it cannot be won, because the weather and seasons that are conducive to operations are not as good as the geographical situation that is conducive to operations. The city wall is not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons and equipment are not sophisticated, and the food supply is not insufficient, but the defenders of the city still abandon the city and flee, because the geographical situation of the battle (no matter how good) it is, it is not as good as the people's desire and internal unity. Therefore, to enable the people to settle down and not to move to other places, we cannot rely on the demarcation of the boundaries of the frontiers, we cannot rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers to consolidate national defense, and we cannot rely on the strength of force alone to deter the world. ”

"Think about it, the war has been fought until now, why we have not yielded like France and Poland, this is not only because our army is stronger but because we have millions of people and a firm fighting spirit, it is in this way that we blocked the German tanks in the trenches under Moscow, and the loss of 650,000 people in Kiev in one breath did not make us lose the courage to fight, Leningrad has not yet been lifted, and now we have been fighting in Stalingrad, The reason lies in our invincible spirit and traditions. ”

And when Andre was in class here, in the wilderness outside, the Vympel and the Alpha team had a joint operation this time, and they were carrying two strange assault rifles. The body of the gun is fixed with parts of the "celluloid" material, which looks like a searchlight, yes, this is a night vision device.

In fact, this is not a complete black technology, the United States also developed the M3 night vision carbine at the end of World War II, it is actually a set of active infrared night vision aiming devices installed on the receiver of the M2 carbine, which was called the T3 or T120 carbine at the time of development, and was developed in early 1944 at the request of the United States Army as a night melee sniper rifle. The night vision scope is named the M1 type night vision sniper scope (Snooperscope), and a front grip with a control switch is installed in the lower part of the front handguard of the gun body, because it is mainly used at night, it is necessary to minimize the interference of the muzzle flame on the night vision infrared transfiguration tube, so the muzzle is equipped with a flared T27 high-efficiency flame suppressor, which was originally developed for the M1 Garand rifle, and later renamed the M3 type flame suppressor. In order to reduce the impact of the huge vibration of the gun body on the night vision goggles when firing, the burst firing function was canceled. In February 1945, the U.S. military tried the T3 in Namkan, Burma, and a small number of them were also tried in the Pacific theater, and in August 1945, it was officially named the M3 carbine, and only about 2,000 units were produced. The M3 night vision carbine is actually mainly used in the Korean battlefield, and the US military has distributed about 1,000 M3 night vision carbines on the Korean battlefield.

The active infrared night vision device of the M3 night vision carbine was actually developed with reference to the vampire night vision device of Nazi Germany. In order to gain an advantage in night combat on the battlefield, Nazi Germany began to develop night vision sighting equipment for the MP44 assault rifle in the late stage of the war, and in 1943, the MP44 assault rifle equipped with the ZG-1229 "Vampire" night vision device was launched, and the small barrel on the gun was the eyepiece of the infrared night vision device, and the large searchlight was the infrared irradiator. The gun did not play much role on the battlefield, the main reason was that the battery was too heavy and the capacity was too small, and the effective aiming distance of the infrared night vision device was too close, only more than a hundred meters. The production of vampire night vision devices is also quite small, only 350 units, most of which were captured by the US military, and then used this as a technical basis, and not surprisingly, the copycat M3 night vision carbine.

In fact, in the field of night vision, Nazi Germany was really ahead of the curve, and in 1940, after Germany developed lead sulfide and several infrared transmission materials, the birth of infrared remote sensing instruments was possible. Since then, Germany first developed several infrared detection instruments such as active infrared night vision devices, in an encounter with the British tank column, the German Leopard tank equipped with a red sighting device destroyed two British Firefly tanks in one fell swoop, it is worth mentioning that the German army used a passive infrared night vision device in this campaign, so there is an owl infrared searchlight car in the distance with infrared lighting for the Leopard tank.

But this new technology did not save the fate of the Nazi defeat, under the introduction of Kuusinin, through the electronic components obtained from the United States, the Soviet Union also developed this active night vision device, and the difference between later generations is still a bit bulky, the weapon is best used on the battlefield, so this time the two sets of equipment were taken to Stalingrad, and at the same time in other places, because the first batch of 12 sets of equipment were made.

Although it cannot change the tide of the war, this new technology will still have a great effect on the future. Coming to the side of the German patrol, the sniper picked up the gun.

The most striking thing about this gun is that there is something like a car headlight on the top of the top, and a wire is connected from the backpack to this light. Don't think about it, this must be a searchlight that shoots infrared rays. Inside the backpack is a battery, which can provide power to this searchlight. The sniper raised the carbine in his hand, his eyes slowly spinning and twisting through the scope, and then something magical happened, and the people and objects in front of him slowly became clear, although a faint green light made the people and objects somewhat distorted. But everyone's appearance and details were displayed in front of his eyes without missing anything.

Even though there were no lights, everything was so clear!
