Chapter 205 Self-help wood
"Move your shovels!" When the thief and the actor brought a log, the instructor yelled: "Don't try to be lazy, it's time to work... Throw away that rotten log, you plan to use it." Does it prop the tank out of the mud?"
The instructor is an engineer, an experienced engineer. It is said that he has served in the army for five years and participated in the Soviet-Finnish War.
During the Soviet-Finnish War, there was a similar logistical experience, the difference was that the tanks faced a piece of snow at that time.
The thief and the actor couldn't help turning their eyes to Shulka.
"Report to the instructor!" Shulka shouted: "We really intend to do this!"
"What did you say?" The instructor couldn't believe what he heard: "You mean you plan to use this rotten piece of wood to get the tank out?"
"Yes, comrade instructor!"
"Okay!" The instructor waved his hand and said in a mocking tone: "Then let us see how our great 'breakout hero' used that rotten wood to get the tank out!"
As he was talking, the instructor rolled up a horse cigarette next to him, and then gathered together with several engineer instructors to talk, and laughed from time to time, as if he was talking about Shulka's self-righteous thinking of things. too easy.
That's true in common sense, a log is really difficult to maneuver in this situation, because you can't get the log under the track, no one has that much strength... if you can get it in, it's better It's faster to just lift the tank out.
But if there is a wire rope cover, it is different.
Shuerka asked the thieves to place the log across the track of the tank. The tank was 3 meters wide and the log was 3.3 meters long, so a part grew out of each end.
The wire rope sleeve is put on both ends of the log, and the other end is stuck in the convex tooth hole of the track shoe, and then the driver is asked to start at a slow speed... Although the track is still idling because it is stuck in the mud pit at this time, it is stuck on the track. However, the steel wire rope will carry the log down the crawler belt, and then the log will be drawn into the sinking ground and perfectly filled inside.
This is actually using the tank to roll into the log to fill the hole. If one does not work, then use two.
Then stopped, untied the wire rope, and with a "boom", the tank broke free from the mud pit and moved forward.
The soldiers cheered, as if they had won a battle. The engineer instructors who were preparing to watch the excitement didn't even finish smoking, and stared blankly at the escaped tank in disbelief.
Kalashnikov hugged Shulka excitedly like a child.
"Great, Lieutenant!" Kalashnikov said: "It is simple and practical, and the things to prepare are even just a log and two wire rope sets!"
This incident quickly alarmed Katukov.
Katukov is also a tank soldier. Of course he knew the importance of tanks getting out of trouble on muddy roads, so he put down what he was doing and rushed to the scene with his staff without saying a word.
"Comrade Shulka!" Katukov asked Shulka with interest: "I heard that you have another great invention?"
"It's not really a great invention, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied: "I just found a better way to complete the task!"
Actually, it cannot be said that Shulka found it... If it wasn’t for his modern knowledge, Shulka believes that he would not have thought of this method.
Colonel Katukov nodded and asked: "So, can you demonstrate it?"
As he spoke, Colonel Katukov raised his head towards another T34 trapped in the mud.
"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka responded, and then followed the previous operation again, and soon successfully rescued the tank again.
Colonel Katukov nodded, put away the timepiece in his hand, and said, "It's amazing, Shulka, it only took seven minutes, and I believe it can be faster!"
"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka said: "If they cooperate well!"
"I have a question, Colonel!" At this moment, the instructor said a little unconvinced: "What if we can't find such a log on the battlefield?"
There is some truth to this statement, after all, it has requirements for logs, such as length, thickness, and the ability to withstand certain pressures.
Katukov turned his gaze to Shulka.
"That's not a problem, Colonel!" Shulka replied: "Why don't we take a log that meets the requirements?"
"That's right, Lieutenant!" Colonel Katukov laughed: "Each tank brings one, it can become the standard configuration of the tank. I think one more piece of wood like this will not crush the tank of!"
The soldiers couldn't help laughing.
"Now, Comrade Shulka!" Colonel Katukov patted Shulka on the shoulder and said: "You are the chief instructor, you need to teach this method to everyone in a short time, engineers, infantry and tank soldiers, Understand?"
"Understood, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied, noticing the embarrassment on the face of the instructor beside Katukov.
This was a dramatic role change. In just a few days, the identities of the instructor and the teacher were reversed.
This twist is a bit big, especially when it is also torturing the instructors and even all the experienced engineers... They have encountered this problem before, but they all repeat the old and stupid methods before, not even one People thought about using this new method to solve it.
But this does not seem to be strange, this is like Columbus's first egg that stood up.
Training is not difficult. After all, the process of using a log to save yourself can be said to be easy to see.
The problem was that the Soviets were so careless and careless. Shulka was worried that something might go wrong during the implementation process, such as starting the engine before the log was ready for the driver, or forgetting to untie the steel rope and causing it to be caught in the Malfunctions inside tank tracks and more.
Therefore, Shuerka listed one, two, and three steps of the use process step by step, plus a few precautions, and then distributed it.
It is the task of the instructor to organize the learning.
Colonel Katukov was very satisfied with this.
"But we still have one thing to pay attention to!" Colonel Katukov said, pointing to the precautions on the document.
"What?"
"Secretary!" Colonel Katukov said: "Strictly confidential, and it must start immediately!"
Shulka understood as soon as he heard this.
Because this method is too simple, if it spreads to the ears of the Germans...
Thinking of this, Shulka couldn't help but secretly startled.
Knowing that one of the reasons why the Germans failed to attack Moscow was that the armor was blocked by mud and snow, if they knew how to...
