Chapter 480: RPG42

Chapter 480 RPG42

"We can't be sure, Comrade Akadyevich!" The political commissar insisted: "Perhaps the Germans already knew that this plan would not work at all, or that this armor-piercing projectile could not penetrate their tanks, so they deliberately asked him to reveal it to us." To gain trust!"

"But the information I got from Sisoy is different!" Colonel Akadyevich objected: "Sisoy told me that it is likely to succeed, and even after knowing the relevant data, the technical content is not great. The important thing is to find a metal that is hard enough that when it hits the tank it will penetrate the tank's armor instead of shattering like an egg!"

"Maybe the facts are not what Sisoy thought!" The political commissar said: "In any case, I think we should continue to observe and see what he wants to do!"

Colonel Akadyevich nodded in agreement.

However, he has almost given up doubting Shulka. Originally, he planned to use Shulka as a "spy" to catch more big fish, but now Colonel Akadievich thinks they are wasting time.

"Maybe he's a genius, Comrade Commissar!" said Colonel Akadyevich. out of those thoughts!"

"That's not something we need to consider!" The political commissar replied coldly.

Colonel Akadyevich shrugged helplessly. The political commissar did not consider how valuable this captain suspected of being a spy was to the Soviet Union if this was possible.

Of course Shulka on the other side didn't know this, he still trained the 82nd Infantry Regiment step by step.

At this time, Shulka was more scheming than before. He even knew how to use the opportunities that Valrasha brought him to bring information beneficial to him to the outside world, including the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Shulka didn't want to do this, but he had to.

Because this is a battlefield without gunpowder smoke, it is even more terrifying and unexpected than the real battlefield. He realized this the day Shulka was transferred from the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.

So, if Shulka wants to survive, he must learn to hide himself and seize every opportunity that is beneficial to him.

This day Kalashnikov brought up another batch of ammunition, and looked at Shulka with a mysterious face.

"What's the matter?" Shulka asked.

"What did you say?"

"It can't be because of Valrasha!" Shulka said helplessly: "Please, Comrade Kalashnikov, it's been so long, I will be fine!"

"Do you think I don't know this?" Kalashnikov laughed: "Come on, Comrade Shulka, you are a 'breakout hero', as long as you nod, all the women in the Soviet Union will cheer for you! Varrasha If Comrade abandons you, it will be her loss!"

"Forget it! Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka smiled and shook his head.

Then suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Kalashnikov, and asked, "Is it an anti-tank grenade? Has it been produced?"

"Guess right!" Kalashnikov nodded: "As expected of Shulka!"

As he spoke, Kalashnikov removed an ammunition box from the car and opened it, revealing thick anti-tank grenades.

"RPG42!" Kalashnikov said: "The length is slightly longer than the RPG40, because it needs to hold the hollow-charge warhead, but the weight is not much different, 1200 grams, it can blow through 90MM armor!"

"90MM?"

"Yes!" Kalashnikov replied: "We know that it is not enough, because it cannot deal with the enemy's new tanks, so we are still continuing to study, hoping to increase its armor-piercing ability without increasing its weight!"

Shulka nodded.

As for now, the armor-piercing ability of 90MM is enough, because the German "Tiger" has not been equipped in batches, and other tanks such as "No. 3" and "No. 4"... are scum under this anti-tank grenade .

But of course, this requires the soldiers to be within throwing distance.

"Comrades!" Thinking, Shulka shouted at the Soviet soldiers who were using training bombs to practice bombing: "Who is calling for live ammunition? Now live ammunition is here!"

The soldiers froze for a moment, then surrounded them with a whimper.

"It's this kind of grenade?" Valery took one out of the ammunition box first, and after looking it over, he looked at Shulka dubiously: "Comrade Shulka, this is what you said can blow up enemy tanks." A new anti-tank grenade?"

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

Valery and the soldiers looked at each other, unable to hide the disappointment on their faces.

"It looks like the original anti-tank grenade!" Valery said.

"I thought we were going to get a big one!" Another soldier said, "But it's about the same weight as before!"

Shulka asked rhetorically: "If it's a big one, can you throw it? Or do you want to hold it and rush towards the enemy tank?"

The soldiers couldn't help laughing.

"Why don't you try it?" Shulka said: "You can even prepare a tank!"

There is never a shortage of used tanks for training, especially at the Stalingrad Tractor Factory, which is famous for producing tanks, because there are many used tanks and even bombed German tanks from the front line. Pile them together and prepare to be smelted into steel.

Some of them were dragged by Shulka to the training factory for bomb-throwing training.

Valery found the wreckage of a Panzer III from among those, but he soon regretted it and turned around and asked: "Comrade Shulka, should I start with the Panzer II?"

"No need!" Shulka replied: "Just this one. Note that this is live ammunition. Just like usual training, move quickly!"

"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Valery responded, and then made some preparations in the bunker.

In fact, this does not require much preparation, just lie down and make sure that the bunker is enough to hide yourself... This is necessary for soldiers. The throwing distance is only 15 to 20 meters, but the killing radius is 20 meters. At the same time, the anti-tank grenade is still thrown high. (the tank has a height), so the shrapnel will fly down from the height.

If you don't completely hide yourself in the bunker, let alone actual combat, such training may lose your life.

Then, Valery pulled the safety pin (the anti-tank grenade is a touch fuze, so the safety pin is used), quickly got up and slammed the grenade towards the target with all his strength, and lay down on the ground again while the grenade flew to the target .

Just heard a "boom", and a puff of smoke rose from the wreckage of "No. 3".
