Chapter 162 Pre-Battle Training

If you want to improve shooting accuracy only by "grinding your guns in front of the battle", it is basically impossible. After all, there are only a few hours, and marksmen and the like are all fed with shells. At this time, there is obviously no time and no such ammunition for them. waste. ≦Look latest ≧≦Chapter ≧≦Baidu ≧ ≦Search ≧ ≦ Product ≧≦ Book ≧≦ Net ≧

But there are traces of shooting targets, and there are some techniques that soldiers of this era don't know.

There is no problem with the engineering regiment digging anti-tank trenches. With the order of Major Gavrilov, the soldiers of the engineering regiment and the 333rd regiment were mobilized. Half an hour later, even the people of Tula were called to dig traps... ...The entire frontage from the Yauza River to the lagoon is a channel with a width of more than ten kilometers, which is full of traps layer by layer.

The interesting thing about these traps is that they will be filled with mud after they are dug, and there is no problem at all from the surface.

As for tank soldiers and anti-tank gunners, Shulka was in charge of "pre-battle training".

"The method is very simple!" Shulka said: "A group of three guns, tanks are the same, each gun is lined up in a straight line at the same interval to face the enemy, and then fired one by one, understand?"

The gunners were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Captain Akimke, the commander of the tank battalion, asked: "Comrade Shulka, what is the difference between this and our usual shooting? Can this be more accurate?"

"Of course there is a difference!" Shulka explained: "Your usual shooting is a random fight between the three cannons without connection, and there is no mutual correction and comparison between the cannons!"

Lieutenant Akimke couldn't help but "oh" when he heard the words: "You mean...after the first cannon fires, we can observe the distance from the point of impact to the target and conduct a comparison?"

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "Because the guns are at the same height and distance from each other, and they are arranged in a straight line facing the target... The first gun is dead, and the second gun can be fired based on the data and data obtained. The offset is adjusted to the elements, and the same is true for the third cannon!"

"Understood, Comrade Shulka!" Captain Akimke stood up and saluted Shulka, and said, "It's a very good method, there is no doubt that this can greatly increase the chance of life, and it All it takes is simple training!"

So this problem was solved, and Shulka let Captain Akimke do it.

The principle is actually very simple, other external conditions are the same, even the wind direction and wind force are basically the same, so as long as the gunner’s calculation speed is fast and accurate (this is the ability that an artilleryman must have), then three shells can’t be imagined. It is difficult to hit the target.

"Comrade Captain!" An artilleryman asked Captain Akimke, "What if the target is still missing?"

"Then one more round!" Captain Akimke replied without thinking: "Otherwise, even if the enemy rushes in front of you, you are not allowed to retreat, understand?"

"Yes, Comrade Captain!"

Back at the headquarters, Shulka said to Major Gavrilov: "We need more tanks and anti-tank guns!"

it is necessary.

The reason is that this kind of tank ambush will have a flaw: while trapping the enemy, your own anti-tank guns and tanks cannot be transferred, because there are traps everywhere, abnormal traps that cannot be found on the surface.

It also meant that tanks and tank guns had to be abandoned after an ambush was exposed, as it would soon be bombarded by enemy artillery.

There is even a possibility that tanks and anti-tank guns will be discovered and disabled by the enemy before they can do their job.

So, of course, more anti-tank firepower is needed.

Major Gavrilov nodded: "I have already requested reinforcements from Moscow, and they will immediately dispatch fifty anti-tank guns..."

"Fifty doors?" Shulka shook his head: "Maybe it's not enough!"

"There are only so many of them!" Major Gavrilov replied: "You know that Moscow puts almost all its troops and equipment on the front line, even the reinforcements from the rear!"

Of course Shulka knew this,

But the problem is that there are difficulties that cannot be solved: the combined anti-tank firepower of the 333rd Regiment and Tula is only 79 units, and an ambush requires 12 units if there are three units at the head, tail, and left and right.

This is still the minimum requirement. In order to ensure that the target can be destroyed and blocked, especially the head, because the enemy tank may push the destroyed tank wreckage away, it is necessary to deploy a few more doors.

If one ambush is calculated on the basis of 20 units, the 50 anti-tank guns newly added by Moscow can only carry out about six ambushes.

Six ambushes... Shulka didn't know how many tanks the German army could consume, Shul only knew that it might not be enough in actual combat.

Because the Germans are not fools, they may suffer once or twice, and then they will have corresponding countermeasures.

But the current situation is like this, and we can only take one step at a time.

At least one level is accurate, that is, the enemy arrived at Tula before dawn.

They first cut off the railway south of Tula.

In fact, this should have been done by the German reconnaissance unit, which would have prevented the frontline troops from returning to Tula.

And behind the 333rd Regiment's line of defense, there were several railways extending to the front in different directions.

Therefore, as Major Gavrilov said, once the transportation hub of Tula is occupied... the consequences will be disastrous.

"Five hours!" Major Gavrilov said, "In just five hours, a group of reinforcements from Leningrad will arrive here!"

This information made Shulka relax a bit.

Although the German army has always been known for its "blitzkrieg", it is not easy to break through the trap line of defense within five hours under such circumstances.

Just thinking about it, there was a whistling sound of shells in the sky... The German army launched an attack.

If it was in the past, Shulka might have to hide in the trench and shiver shivering, just hoping that the shells would not hit him near him.

But after all he's been through, Shulka knows that there's not much difference between being afraid and not being afraid...the shells won't let you off the hook.

So Shulka had learned to stick his head out to observe the sound of a shell explosion, and only backed down when the shell had thrown up a cloud of mud nearby.

The result of the observation was that the Germans were not aware of Shulka's trap tactics.

Because their artillery preparations are still the same as before, advancing layer by layer.

This is used to blow up and detonate mines, and of course fortifications and wire.

The obvious point is that such a bombing would not blow up the traps, but would make more traps... because the crater itself is an excellent trap.
