Chapter 1253 The German ammunition is also damp

When Yang Mingzhi and other senior officers and staff officers of the command arrived at the scene of the incident, the women's battalion had already found 14 aerial bombs.

According to battlefield observations, the Germans carried out air raids with seven aircraft, and by calculation, perhaps these 14 aerial bombs were all of them. Joshua thought that there might be something that had not been discovered, and her soldiers continued to search near the fake barracks, but unfortunately no soldiers "won the prize".

The whole search process was done by the women's barracks, and Medvedev's 2,000 good men acted as spectators.

Among them, the Red Army soldiers who had surrendered to the German army were shocked by the sight in front of them, everyone knew too well the danger of these terrible duds, and did not expect that the woman who should have been frightened by the explosion was actually braver than them.

A sense of humiliation came over Medvedev, and when he tried to communicate with Joshua and wanted to join the job, he was rejected by Joshua, who was very arrogant.

The Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment could really only be a spectator until a group of officers from the command suddenly arrived.

Joshua received the final order from the commander, because the commander himself would come to inspect, and the women's barracks worked even harder.

Fourteen bombs were scattered in a very large area, and the soldiers dug a crater in the ground, carefully standing in the pit. The advantage of this is that in the event of a sudden explosion, it will blow up a large amount of soil, and soil is an excellent buffer. The second is to erect the projectile body, which is conducive to the disassembly of the collision fuze by professionals.

Five jeeps were parked on a relatively solid grass on the east side of the fake barracks, followed by four trucks. The truck was also carrying twenty military workers, who were the so-called bomb disposal specialists.

Among these trucks, only one is the most special, it is a modified crane, on June 15 involved in the hoisting of radar equipment, the world is unpredictable, only three days later, it will participate in the hoisting of a large number of aerial bombs!

When he came to the scene of the incident, Yang Mingzhi's heart became nervous.

As soon as the car stopped, he shouted excitedly: "Joshua, where are you?" Where are the aerial bombs? ”

His voice was loud, and it soon caught the attention of Joshua not far away. Most of the soldiers in the women's barracks are hiding in the woods like the people of the independent regiment, and everyone is afraid of "thunder on the ground" after all.

The women's battalion assembled urgently at the sound of the whistle, and more than 500 people suddenly ran out of the forest, followed by an even larger crowd.

Yang Mingzhi was shocked: "It's really bad, I forgot that Medvedev's people are still here!" ”

"Yes! We have more than 2,500 people deployed here! Thankfully, we had no casualties! Yevlov said with relief.

The protagonist is a female barracks, and the trouser legs of these girls are covered with black mud, and it is really embarrassing for them to stand in front of the general.

Joshua didn't have time to change her clothes at all, she stood in front of the commander dirty, and she really couldn't help it.

"Report to the commander, the first battalion of the third regiment of the 284th Guards Division has been assembled, please instruct!"

"Rite over!" Saying that, Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but look at the sloppy appearance of the girls, and muttered in a low voice: "You should change into neat clothes." ”

Medvedev arrived belatedly, he reported that the independent regiment had been assembled, and Yang Mingzhi did not pay more attention to him.

Command just wanted to see what the aerial bombs looked like, and Joshua comically stretched out her mud-contaminated right arm and pointed to a small flat field in the northwest.

"Commander! Deputy Commander! And the commissars! Look, those things that stand on the ground like giant chicken leg mushrooms are the bombs we have captured. ”

Yang Mingzhi is eyesight is a little bad, he skillfully took out the well-preserved resin eyes from the 21st century from his jacket pocket, and finally saw the clues there after wearing them. As for Yevlov and Fomin, and even the other staff officers, everyone raised their binoculars one after another.

Yang Mingzhi usually doesn't wear glasses anymore, and he instantly changed his appearance, which really made Qiao Shuya feel uplifted. "He deserves to be an intellectual, who would have thought that such a general would have such a Sven appearance." Joshua fell into intoxication until Yang Mingzhi interrupted her admiration.

"Comrade Joshua!"

"Ah...... Arrive! ”

"I saw that you were digging a pit and inserting a bomb into it, how could you carry out such a drastic operation! Aren't you afraid of a bomb exploding suddenly?! ”

"It didn't explode after all!" Joshua heard the commander's harsh rebuke, and she explained: "Now that the bomb is standing there, if you want to ask a professional to disassemble the fuse immediately, then act immediately!" You see, the erection of the bomb makes it easier to disassemble. ”

"Oh~ That makes sense."

Yang Mingzhi snapped his fingers and ordered the entire army to be disbanded, and then ordered the "bomb disposal expert" to lead a full set of tools such as a big wrench and start the most dangerous work!

The aerial bombs of this era were still inertial bombs, which had no guidance ability, and large bombers could only increase the number of bombers carried as much as possible, in order to achieve tactical effects through large-area firepower dispersion. The unprecedented consumption of ammunition in this world war accelerated the development of aerial bombs, and soon the US military would install radios on bombs, allowing bombarders to adjust the direction of the bomb's fall through remote sensing.

But even more absolutely important is the pioneer of modern guided weapons - bat-guided bombs. Towards the end of the war, the U.S. military finally equipped this kind of active radar-guided bomb and successfully sank a large number of Japanese warship transports.

In 1942, the countries involved in the war were not equipped with any guided weapons, and if they did, they were at the laboratory level.

The Germans were armed with high-drag aerial bombs, which were designed to be as short and thick as possible, in order to fit heavily into the magazines of the Henschel bombers. In order to facilitate mass production, the German army naturally did not widely produce streamlined low-drag aerial bombs.

The F190 in this air raid is loaded with some round aerial bombs, and it stands to reason that because of the high air resistance, its falling attitude will be more classic, and the fuse failure rate will be lower. After all, this air raid created a "miracle".

What exactly causes a shot not to blow up? There is only one reason that Yang Mingzhi can guess - the ammunition is damp.

TNT itself does not get damp, it does not fail after being exposed to the air for fifty or sixty years, and it can even explode underwater. So some warehouses safely store this explosive by filling it with water.

However, it is the fuse that is susceptible to moisture!

Yang Mingzhi's speculation soon turned into a fact, and those "bomb disposal experts" used a huge wrench and the lever principle to quickly open the fuse bolt and pull the entire collision fuse out of the projectile body.

From work to finish, it only took ten minutes! They gathered in front of Yang Mingzhi with a total of fourteen of them, and the workers led by them reported with tight mouths: "Now we already know the reason why these bombs did not explode!" ”

"I guess it's damp!" Yang Mingzhi asked eagerly.

"You guessed exactly! Squat down and touch it, better than our explanation! ”

Yang Mingzhi complied, his palms were quite dry, but he stroked these causing parts, but what he felt was wet.

The detonating agent of the fuse is susceptible to moisture, so many shells are suddenly fitted by soldiers on the eve of the battle. Most of the artillery shells made by the guerrilla republics are earthen detonators, and their core components are not fundamentally different from those of the German army's detonators and fuses.

The German military industry did produce these collision fuzes with a conscientious attitude, but here in Yang Mingzhi, they can squeeze out water when they are wet. This water does not come from the mud, it has been in the bomb for a long time, and even there is a lot of water in the bomb!

The facts were in front of him, Yang Mingzhi simply stood up and laughed loudly!

"Hey! Berekov, are you crazy with joy ?! Yevlov was very puzzled, but his old comrades-in-arms laughed, and he gradually grinned.

Yang Mingzhi immediately turned around: "Of course I'm happy!" Why do you think I'm laughing?! What should I say about our enemy, it turns out that it is not only the ammunition of our army that is damp, but also the Germans! These aerial bombs are all damp, so none of them explode! The duds are actually in such proportions, I see that the ammunition depots of the German army have been washed away by heavy rain, what else can I say? Even the nature of the USSR is fighting these aggressors! ”
