Outside Molodizino, not only Colonel Rosenberg, but almost all the tankmen who rushed to the front line were dumbfounded.

Opposite them, a pack of dogs rushed out of the Soviet position.

Among the dog groups are the German black-backed dogs familiar to Germans, there are black and white sheepdogs, pure black schnauzers, and more earth dogs with messy coats that cannot be seen as breeds.

The dogs swarmed and rushed towards the German tank cluster, and suddenly there was a "whining" roar of dogs on the battlefield.

Seeing the rapidly approaching dogs, the hearts of the German tankers were full of doubts, could it be that the pet market was destroyed by the Soviet army, and the dogs rioted?

Some tankers are even sharper, are these dogs rabies carriers? The Soviets wanted to use them to spread rabies among the German army?

While the German tankers were thinking wildly, the charging dogs quickly reacted differently and created a three-tier division.

Fierce dog breeds, such as German black-backed wolfdogs and sheepdogs, still ran towards German tanks.

Schnauzers, the gentlemen of the dog breed, and most of the dogs slowly stopped, standing still and hesitating, with at most a few dogs barking at the German tanks.

The gentle and cowardly dog breed, the largest group of dogs, was frightened by the steel bodies and roars of the German tanks, and with a beautiful sharp turn, he turned around and fled towards the Soviet position.

The German tankers soon noticed something unusual among the dogs, and on the radio, the shouts of officers and commanders were heard one after another.

"There are explosive devices on the dogs, do not let them approach, open fire. Shoot quickly. Don't let them get close. ”

As the charging dogs approached the German tanks. More and more German tankers saw dogs wearing black coats, like vests, with black boxes on them, and antennas sticking out of the black vests.

After the German tankers quickly confirmed that the dogs played the role of tank killers and not the cute, the coaxial machine gun on the turret of Tank 4 and the machine gun used by the radioman rang out at the same time, and a dense stream of bullets flew towards the dogs.

Devastated blows. The neutral dogs, who were stagnant in a neutral attitude, quickly changed their attitude and did not hesitate to turn around and run to the starting position.

The dogs that had originally escaped ran faster, and one by one they took out their strength to feed, like a bundle of lightning rushing on the battlefield.

The attacking dogs were once again divided into three factions, one was hit by a bullet and wailed blood splattered on the battlefield, and one group lost the courage to attack and turned around to join the fleeing team.

Looking at the battlefield, less than ten of the more than sixty dogs that initially launched the attack maintained the momentum of the charge.

These dogs are fearless. Take advantage of its swift speed, low profile, and difficult terrain to hide from German attacks. Rushing head-on into the ranks of German tanks, plunging headlong under the chassis of tank No. 4, raising his head, reflexively looking up and licking on the steel plates of the tank chassis, as if looking for delicious food.

As they got into the chassis of the tanks, the slender antennas on their backs hit the tank turf, igniting the detonators, which in turn detonated the explosives.

With the rumbling explosion, fire and white smoke erupted from under the tank's chassis, wrapped in the hair and flesh of the military dog.

Five No. 4 tanks stopped one after another, and one No. 4 tank burst into flames in the power compartment.

Tank IV's chassis plates, which were only 10 millimeters thick, were too fragile to withstand the destruction of explosives.

Three other No. 4 tanks were also attacked, but were not fatally wounded, and after a brief pause continued into the fight, the tankers inside inevitably broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn Ivan, with this despicable trick, told the various car crews to continue the attack, and drove those dogs to the Russian positions, so that they could taste it too." Colonel Rosenberg, having figured out the situation, shouted angrily.

Colonel Rosenberg was outraged by the dogs' suicide attack, and when the suicide anti-tank dogs and German tanks were wiped out, the bloody scene reminded him of his beloved black-backed wolfdog, Baltha, at home.

Colonel Rosenberg's order was quickly conveyed to the various car groups on the front, and there was no need for the individual car groups to drive them, and the frightened main force of the dog pack had fled to the Soviet positions, and death and nightmares befell the Soviet troops.

At the head of the pack was a dog with curly fur all over its body, similar in size to an adult black-backed wolfdog.

At the beginning of the battle, the dog noticed that the real battlefield was different from the training ground, especially the tank on the training ground would not spit fire on it and its dog friends, and it decided to go back to find its owner at the moment of the outbreak of the battle, and asked why.

Behind Huang Mao, the military dog with the same mind as Huang Mao followed closely.

On the outskirts of Molodizno, on the south side of the road, on the 45-mm anti-tank gun position, the supreme commander of the dog pack, Captain Pavlov, the commander of the dog company of the 1st Soviet anti-tank army, hid in the trench, watching the dog pack rushing towards him, dumbfounded and speechless.

The well-behaved dogs on the training ground were crushed in an instant, and they ran back to their positions with explosives, staging a farce full of black humor.

The training of anti-tank military dogs in the Soviet Union began in 1924, and the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR approved the use of dogs for military operations, including rescue, communications, mine detection, etc. Soon 12 relevant training schools were established, three of which trained anti-tank dogs.

In August 1941, the Soviets established the first batch of 4 anti-tank canine companies, each with 126 dogs, and Captain Pavlov was honored to be appointed as the commander of the first company.

Pavlov and his trainers placed food under the tank, and then had the hungry dogs go under the tank to find food, which over time caused the dogs to reflex.

At first, the training tank was stationary, and after a period of training, the tank would start with food, and use empty ammunition and other props to simulate the battlefield environment, so that the dog could gradually get used to it.

By the time the war broke out, the Soviets would tie each dog with a 10-12 kg mine, and the trigger on the mine would be modified to have a 20-centimeter-long wooden wrench on it, and when the dog managed to get under the tank, the wrench would be pulled backwards and detonated.

In 1902, Nobel Laureate in Physiology Pavlov. Ivan. During his tenure at the Russian Academy of Military Medicine, Petrovich discovered by chance that before the official feeding, if the dog saw the feeder or heard the sound of the feeder, or even just heard the bell to start feeding, it would secrete saliva. After a lot of research, Pavlov called this phenomenon "conditioned reflex", and the ringing is the "conditioned stimulus" that leads to reflex behavior.

The training of anti-tank dogs is based on the doctrine of "conditioned reflexes".

Each anti-tank dog undergoes about 40 days of training from entry to the end of training in order for the dog to overcome its fear of rumbling engine noise. At the same time, the contours of the tank, the smell of steel, paint, anti-rust oil and exhaust gases, and even the sound of the tank engine will be combined into a "conditional stimulus" for anti-tank dogs. And guide the military dog to "reflexively" burrow under the tank chassis to find food.

At the outbreak of the war, the Soviet Union had trained about 6,000 military dogs, most of which were anti-tank military dogs.

Pavlov's 1st Company of Anti-Tank Canines was assigned to the 21st Army of the Western Front, and followed it in a counterattack against the German 3rd Panzer Army.

Seeing the military dogs approaching his position more and more, Pavlov suddenly came to his senses, and he cried out through gritted teeth: "Shoot, shoot quickly, don't let them come close." ”

However, he underestimated the speed and agility of his old subordinates on the other side, and also overestimated the reaction speed of the Soviet soldiers.

The German tanks behind the dogs attracted the attention of most of the Soviet soldiers, who, not Pavlov's men, ignored Pavlov's orders.

The dogs moved almost close to the ground, and the speed was fast, and they fled back to the Soviet positions with lightning speed, and from time to time the wooden wrench on the back of the military dogs was touched by the bushes on the ground and caused an explosion.

Every time there is an explosion, Pavlov's heart twitches once, after the safety of the wooden wrench is opened, the reaction is extremely sensitive, the slightest touch will detonate the explosives, if these "old subordinates" rush to the side, rubbing and coquettish on themselves, once the explosives weighing two kilograms on the body are detonated, they can definitely let themselves be wiped out in an instant, to meet the great Comrade Lenin.

When Captain Pavlov panicked, Huang Mao, who was at the forefront of the dog pack, crossed the Soviet positions in front of him and rushed straight to the direction where Pavlov was.

After years of getting along and training, the figure of Captain Pavlov has long been firmly engraved in Huang Mao's mind, as well as its sensitive nose, and in the process of running, it saw Pavlov's figure from a distance, as well as the familiar smell wafting in the wind, Huang Mao did not hesitate to rush to the direction where Pavlov was.

Pavlov saw that the yellow-haired "dog took the lead", and quickly crossed the infantry trench in front of him, rushed to the trench where he was, and was forced to be helpless, so he had to take out his pistol and load the bullet and aim it at his former subordinate, today's killer.

The moment Pavlov raised his gun, Huang Mao suddenly smelled another pungent smell that he remembered in his heart, and turned to the left, just in time to avoid the muzzle of Pavlov's gun aimed at it.

Pavlov pulled the trigger and knocked his old men to the ground, and his humanoid subordinates joined in intercepting the dogs, and gunfire was everywhere in front of the position, and the dogs were suddenly strewn with corpses.

The yellow fur of the dog dodged Pavlov's gun, chased the pungent but familiar smell of diesel, ran all the way to a KV-1 tank behind the Soviet position, and then reflexively plunged under the chassis of the KV-1 tank to find food that did not exist.

The moment he got into the chassis of the KV-1 tank, the wrench on the back of Huang Mao hit the chassis of the tank.

A few seconds later, a loud bang was heard from under the tank's chassis, and the yellow curls of flames and gunsmoke flew out of the tank's chassis, and a cloud of dust surrounded the KV-1 tank. (To be continued......)
