Chapter 441 Bribery

Speed ​​seems to be the key to the two troops rushing to Zhankoi.

But now the speed of the Soviet army does not seem to be fast enough.

"We should buy more time!" Shulka said: "That is to speed up the march!"

"We can't do it!" Katukov raised his head forward: "We must follow the minesweeping tanks, otherwise we will risk losing the tanks and personnel!"

"Maybe we don't have to!" Shulka replied: "We have half-tracks!"

The advantage of the half-track vehicle is its good off-road performance. It has certain firepower and defense capabilities, and at the same time it is much lighter than a tank.

These advantages allow the half-track vehicle to travel on snow without worrying about being stuck in it and unable to move.

After thinking for a while, Katukov nodded in agreement.

So, a commando team composed entirely of half-track vehicles was formed. This commando team was divided into two teams, each team had 12 vehicles, which was a reinforced company, and they went forward along the fields on both sides of the road.

They don't need to worry about enemy mines, because the German army in front is retreating while laying mines in a hurry, which means that they cannot lay mines widely.

Facts have also proved that Shulka’s analysis is correct. The half-track vehicle did not encounter many landmines when it left the road. Yes, because it is a wooden shell mine of the Soviet Army, the kind that shoots out a large pile of wood chips when it explodes, and it was obviously randomly planted by the Soviet Army when they retreated.

Because these wooden shell mines are made of wooden shells, they are not very powerful, and the tires did not even blow up... But this may be because of the snow layer, the mines were buried before, and the snow covered them layer by layer. There is a layer of snow between the tire and the landmine, so there is no problem at all if they run over it directly.

Only one half-track vehicle was blown off its track. This is probably because the half-track vehicle has not been maintained in time after driving for a long time, and it is relatively fragile.

Then, one of the commandos caught up with the Germans who were laying mines on the road an hour later.

Needless to say, the commando immediately launched an attack.

The first thing to fire was the machine guns on the half-track vehicle. Although the accuracy of the half-track vehicle on the undulating bumper was not high, more than a dozen machine guns fired at the same time, and the German army still gathered on the road, including several vehicles carrying mines.

So the bullets "squeaked" and quickly knocked down a large number of German troops, and a few landmines were triggered... I don't know if it was triggered by bullets or because the German troops who were laying mines were triggered by a sudden attack. After a few explosions, several German soldiers were blown to the ground.

Then the half-track vehicle slowed down, and the Soviet soldiers on the rear compartment jumped off the half-track vehicle that was still moving one by one and deployed their forces.

This is one of the training subjects for halftrack vehicles.

If the half-track vehicle is completely stopped, it is obviously easy to be attacked by enemy artillery fire. If all the personnel are crowded on the half-track vehicle, on the one hand, it is easy to be destroyed by the enemy, and on the other hand, the firepower is not easy to deploy... Even the half-track vehicle The loading of twelve people is not crowded, but only one side can shoot at the enemy at most at the same time, and the other side must stand up if they want to shoot.

So just like now, only two machine gunners and two submachine gunners were left on the half-track vehicle, and all the others got out of the vehicle to fight.

The reason for keeping two submachine gunners is that half-track vehicles can often rely on their armor and speed to rush close to the enemy. At this time, the submachine gunners can suddenly emerge and shoot a burst of fire.

Cossacks love this role.

This is also an advantage of the Cossack as a platoon leader. He has the right to choose his own equipment, just like he was a bazooka shooter when the troops were first equipped with bazookas.

"Comrade Cossack seems to be omnipotent!" said the instructor to Shulka: "He can drive a car, shoot a bazooka, and at the same time is an excellent submachine gunner!"

"I remember you objecting to him being a platoon leader!" Shulka said.

"I was wrong!" The instructor replied: "It turns out that you not only know how to fight, but also employ people. He is an excellent fighter!"

Shulka smiled and replied: "If you think he did this to become a good fighter, then you are wrong!"

"Then why?"

"It's for excitement, Comrade Instructor!" Shulka replied: "Some people are naturally adventurous, like excitement, and like the feeling of tension and excitement!"

The instructor thought for a while, then nodded his head as a comrade.

"You are right, Comrade Shulka!" said the instructor: "No wonder he always likes to cheer like a wild beast when he fights. Others are afraid of fighting, but he enjoys it!"

"You can say that!" Shulka replied: "For a person like him, perhaps dying on the battlefield is the best destination, otherwise..."

Shuerka didn't say the next words.

If he takes pleasure in the battlefield and killing people, one day the war will end and the world will be peaceful, then his suffering will begin, because everything else is boring to him, so it is difficult to adapt to that kind of life.

Of course, it’s too early to think about this, at least the Cossack at this time is a very useful soldier.

As it is now, he even knows to use the inertia of the car.

It is said that it was a movement practiced hard by the Cossack and Uncle Alek, and he even pestered Uncle Alek for two days for this.

"I need you, Uncle Alek!" Cossack said: "I think of a way to throw grenades far away on the battlefield, but it requires your training and cooperation!"

"You can find someone else!" Uncle Alek tightened his windbreaker and tilted his head to one side.

Uncle Alek is not the kind of person who likes to train. In his words, whether he died in battle or died of old age, his days are numbered. He should drink more and sleep more.

"But only you have this technology!" Cossack said: "I believe only you can do it!"

"Then you can teach other people, don't bother me, comrade!" Uncle Alek was a little impatient.

Then, the Cossack took out the kettle, opened the lid and handed it to Uncle Alek. As soon as the aroma of the wine wafted out of it, Uncle Alek regained his spirits.

But Uncle Alek still insisted: "One pot is not enough!"

The Cossack gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, I will give you half of the daily ration!"

Uncle Alek's eyes lit up, he took the kettle and hugged it in his arms, and said, "This one doesn't count!"

"Of course!" The Cossack nodded heavily, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
