Chapter 1252 - Duds are not easy to dismantle
There is a great possibility that a dud bomb will explode due to a violent touch, and aerial bombs, which are often equipped with a delayed fuse, are the so-called pursuit of higher efficiency of killing.
Most of the Soviet soldiers did not know anything about the construction of aerial bombs, they only knew the construction of shells, and some of them knew how to remove the fuses of shells.
The existence of the tail of the aerial bomb is to ensure that the body of the bomb can touch the ground vertically. Paul was indeed diving into the investment, and the bombs were all falling into the mud at an angle of almost 90Β°, and it was supposed to explode. It is understandable that a bomb did not explode due to accidental reasons. However, all fourteen aerial bombs became duds, and this is not accidental.
Yang Mingzhi and Qiao Shuya's plan deduced that they were "borrowing bombs from the mud pond", and being able to "borrow" a few duds would be a great success. Who would have thought that they were all duds.
Qiao Shuya, who was deep in the front line, did not know why, and the order was to ask her to personally lead the troops to fish out the duds, but the duds were very dangerous!
God knows when it will explode, and it may not explode if you knock it hard, but at some point it turns into an earth-shattering bang without warning, and the onlookers are torn apart into a molecular state!
Joshua did not trust Medvedev's 2,000 men, many of whom had surrendered to the Germans.
Besides, tricking the Germans into attacking a trap was the first clever plan she proposed, and when the clever plan was carried out to reap the fruits, it was also up to her to reap the rewards!
She knew the danger of the matter, and there was no reason to hesitate to back down.
The strength of this women's battalion has basically recovered, and the recruits who have been added are all from the other women's battalions that serve as reserves. Recruits are recruits precisely because they haven't experienced real battles.
Joshua therefore had even more reason to take the whole battalion of officers and soldiers to fish out the dangerous duds!
Women's feet are generally smaller than men's, so captured German high-top boots are useless! They wore leggings and leather shoes that were found in private houses. They did not carry weapons, but carried a large amount of hemp rope and pathfinder sticks, and went lightly into the mud.
The girls know the mud of this fake barracks well, where the quagmire can drown, where there is a good place to stay, they know the road with ease!
Many girls who were unusually bold rushed over excitedly after easily finding those bombs with their tails pouting.
Isn't that dangerous? Of course it's dangerous! However, there is no point in talking about danger anymore.
If the bomb explodes suddenly, it will inevitably affect the entire battalion, and all the female soldiers will die in the explosion!
The female soldiers, including Joshua, were playing with fire on the tip of their knives.
The female soldiers trapped the ropes in a circle and skillfully attached them to the tail of the bomb. Basically, a platoon of fighters is responsible for one aerial bomb, and through pure manpower, not only pulls the target out of the mud, but also pulls it out of the mud, and finally is dragged to the relatively dry grass.
Their work is not over yet, the next step is to remove the collision fuse!
Nowadays, no one looks down on these female soldiers, they are not only not afraid of death in war, they are also actively learning the use of advanced weapons.
The principle of the collision fuze of recoilless artillery shells and RPG warheads used by the Soviet army is nothing special. The women's barracks were not only equipped with these weapons, but also learned how to operate and maintain them. They know very well that the most important thing to do to maintain the quality of the shells is to make sure that there are no problems with the fuse.
Some female soldiers, in small talk, guessed that the long rain at the beginning of this month had also caused the German ammunition to be damp, which is why these aerial bombs did not explode.
Some daring female soldiers also began to try to disassemble these aerial bombs through the knowledge they learned while maintaining their own troops' shells.
The German bombs were similar to those of other countries, with their fuses attached to the body by thread locks, so that only the right tools were needed to disassemble them.
It was very embarrassing that the only tool they had at hand was the obviously useless gunslinger. After several tosses, they could not remove the fuse.
In this case, Joshua, who hoped to resolve the explosion crisis as soon as possible, was extremely on the spot.
The battalion's communications squad was at the scene of the incident, and Joshua simply communicated with the command again.
As soon as he heard that the mine had asked for contact again, Yang Mingzhi, who was about to leave, immediately drilled into the communication room.
"I'm Berekov, reporting on the current situation."
"Yes! Comrade Commander! We have so far fished out eight aerial bombs, which are very heavy, and we can determine by the word code that they are 250kg aerial bombs! β
"It's so heavy?!" Yang Mingzhi was shocked because it was a number worthy of his shock. Just these eight bombs are equivalent to the capture of one ton of TNT!
Joshua had already felt the commander's excitement through the headphones, and she continued to report: "There are still two aerial bombs being salvage, but a sharp problem is ahead! We tried to remove the collision fuse, but found that it was only possible to unscrew it with a special tool. β
"Really? What kind of tool is it?! Give me a description! β
"It's a wrench, a big one."
"Don't worry about tools, I'll organize the workers of the arsenal to go! After your department has pulled out all the bombs you have found, you will place each one separately for me, more than a hundred meters apart from each other! Idlers and others evacuate the bomb placement area, especially you! I don't want a sudden explosion without warning that would kill you! β
Yang Mingzhi issued a number of orders, and Qiao Shuya naturally complied. His plan was immediately revised and he ordered the arsenal to send several experienced "cannonball fuze installers" to the mines with their huge movable wrenches.
β¦β¦
Yang Mingzhi quickly got into the jeep, accompanied by almost the entire group army headquarters. After all, the women claimed that the ammunition they had captured weighed 2.5 tons, and the amount of TNT they could capture was a staggering figure. Shouldn't the senior officers miss the last act of this good show?
Today's air raid ended in such a seemingly victorious end, which was an outcome that Yevlov had painstakingly anticipated, and he could hardly contain his surprise.
"Berekov, I remember arranging a fake barracks, it was designed by the female battalion commander!"
"That's right! She is the one who organized people to try to dismantle the bomb! β
"I see, in fact, you played a decisive role in this matter. Joshua was just planning to set up false targets, like a lightning rod to lure lightning strikes, so that we would be absolutely safe. You've got a whole ton of TNT! You still say you're not a genius?! β
Yang Mingzhi was a little conceited, he shook his fingers: "I'm not a genius, right?" It's called an ancient stratagem from the East! β
"Scheme?! Eastern? β
"That's right! In a war in the ancient East, the fleet hidden in the fog beat the drums of war, forcing the other side to fire a large number of arrows. However, many of these arrows hit the scarecrows on the ships, and in the end, the Mist Fleet captured 100,000 arrows and used them for the real decisive battle! β
"It's amazing!" Yevlov slapped his thigh: "The general of the misty fleet is really a genius!" β
The allusion to the straw boat borrowing arrows was the first time Yevlov had heard about it, and comparing it with today's events, the plot is exactly the same.
"This matter should be recorded in the war history records of our army, our army should set up more false targets, and the German army had better attack every day! In this way, we no longer have to worry about the lack of high-energy explosives! β
Yang Mingzhi was hehe, "You! Still too naΓ―ve. However, the idea of setting more false targets is correct, as if we had given the Germans a hat-trick and they did not know if it was a real target. Perhaps after a few failed attempts, there will be no more air strikes. That's a good thing too! β
