Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Moscow, Kremlin.

"Comrade Stalin, the German army has occupied the northern defense line of Smolensk."

Starling asked impatiently. "How many German tanks did those anti-tank bazookas destroy?"

Facing Stalin's earnest gaze, the staff officer in charge of the report lowered his head and whispered. "Not a single one was destroyed. According to the frontline soldiers' feedback, these rockets had no lethal effect on German tanks and were not as useful as fire sticks."

"!!" The conference room was silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on Commander Eisenhower.

"Impossible!" After hearing the translation, Eisenhower was immediately unhappy. As soon as his newly invented anti-tank weapon was put on the battlefield, people said it was worse than a fire stick. No one would be happy. "Did your soldiers not master the correct method of use?!" If you were asked to aim at the tank and fire it, would it all shoot into the sky?

The staff officer was upset. "General Eisenhower, didn't you say that the operation of these rocket launchers is so simple that even a fool can learn it?! If you don't believe it, you can go to the front line and take a look!"

Eisenhower was at a loss for words. Although he was a little unconvinced, he could not continue to insist that the Soviet soldiers' operating methods were wrong. Doesn't that mean that the Soviet soldiers were worse than fools? Although the military quality of most Soviet soldiers is indeed average, they are not bad enough to be compared with fools.

Stalin ordered with a gloomy expression. "With the production of this rocket launcher cancelled, what happens to our anti-tank dog project?"

The person in charge of this project was a general named Mikhail. He stood up and reported respectfully. "Comrade Stalin, the anti-tank dog project is going very well. There are now 30 dogs ready to go into battle at any time."

The origins of Soviet military dogs can be traced back to 1924, when the Soviet Army approved soldiers to use dogs on the battlefield. However, the purpose of using military dogs at that time was very different from that later. Specifically, it included searching for soldiers missing in heavy snow, and finding buried mines through the smell of explosives.

After understanding the potential of dogs, the Soviets began to consider a series of experiments related to dog training, so that military dogs could deliver bombs to the base of German tanks, where the armor was weakest.

To enable military dogs to complete this task, the Soviets used the research results of Ivan Petrovitch Pavlov, the founder of the "classical conditioning" theory, and Edward Thorndike, the first researcher of the "operant conditioning" theory.

During the training, the trainers starved the military dogs first, and then allowed them to eat under the running tanks after a few days. In principle, this would cause military dogs to salivate when they see a tank, as they would associate the tank with mealtime. However, what trainers seek is to get military dogs to run toward a tank when they see it.

Dog training experts explained that this kind of training wants military dogs to take actions other than the automatic reaction of salivating when they hear the sound of tanks. This kind of learning involves not only emotional responses, but also the muscular and skeletal systems. The latter responds to signals from the nervous system and takes action to find the food under the tank.

This method of dog training is effective and is very similar to later dog training methods.

After the military dog ​​learned to run towards the enemy tank, the trainer made the next plan: let the military dog ​​run under the tank carrying the explosive package, put down the explosive package, and then return to the soldiers. However, this training did not achieve the expected results. So the trainer decided to change the strategy and conduct more simple and rough training for the military dogs. A timing device was placed on the bomb, and the bomb was tied to the back of the military dog. The military dog ​​got under the tank. When the time was up, the bomb detonated, killing the soldier. The dog also destroyed the tank and died together.

Stalin ordered after hearing that 30 anti-tank dogs were successfully trained. "Send to Smolensk immediately." He wanted to see how strong the American anti-tank weapons were compared to his own anti-tank weapons!

Eisenhower was confused. What is an "anti-tank dog"? Can dogs also be used as anti-tanks? ! Why? !

The next day, the battle outside Smolensk continued into the afternoon. The attacking German troops suddenly saw a dozen big dogs running out of the Soviet position.

"Military dogs? What are these Soviets doing?" They didn't attack anyone when they saw these military dogs, they just jumped up and down on the battlefield.

At this time, an advancing tank stopped and opened fire in the distance. The 88mm grenade accurately hit a bunker and blew it into the sky.

Suddenly, in the astonished eyes of the German army, a military dog ​​rushed straight towards the tank and got into the bottom of the tank with lightning speed.

boom! With a loud noise, the huge explosion directly blew the dog into pieces and also destroyed the tank. The violent explosion caused many casualties to the German soldiers following the tank.

"God!" The remaining German soldiers were shocked by this sudden scene, and finally understood what these military dogs were doing. "Quick, kill those dogs! Don't let them get close!!"

Intense bullets were fired at these military dogs, but it was obviously a matter of luck that this military dog ​​was able to destroy the tank. The other military dogs either wandered in the center of the battlefield, and the timer device was activated before they found the target and exploded into fireworks; or they were killed by the battlefield. The sound of gunfire frightened them into running back to the Soviet positions, but killed and injured many Soviet soldiers.

Fortunately, this was just a small episode on the battlefield. The German army quickly eliminated the remaining Soviet troops and occupied this position.

"These Soviets are so crazy that they even put bombs on military dogs."

In the hearts of soldiers, military dogs have gone beyond the category of animals. They are loyal partners, silent comrades, and brothers who charge together on the battlefield. But these bastards actually tied bombs to military dogs and asked them to launch suicide attacks. This is simply despicable and shameless.

"Yeah, why don't these bastards rush over with explosives in their hands? That would at least make people admire their courage."

Just when they despised the cowardice of the Soviet army, a new order was issued from above: from now on, if they see Soviet dogs on the battlefield, they will kill them immediately.

On the other side of the Kremlin, General Mikhail came to Stalin's office excitedly. "Comrade Stalin, Comrade Stalin, our anti-tank dogs have reported success. They destroyed two German tanks and wounded one."

"Oh, really?" A long-lost smile appeared on Starlin's face. "It's really good, but the exchange ratio is a bit high." But it's better than the Americans' useless anti-tank rocket launchers.

"Yes, Comrade Stalin, but based on this battle experience, I have summarized an improvement plan. In this battle, many anti-tank dogs showed a reaction that was not adapted to the battlefield noise. We can use blank ammunition during training and other props to simulate the battlefield environment so that the anti-tank dogs can gradually adapt. Then change the time fuse of the bomb to a trigger fuse, and install a wooden hand about 20 cm long on the bomb. In this way, when the anti-tank dog gets under the tank, the wooden hand will The hand will be pulled to detonate the bomb.”

After hearing General Mikhail's orderly plan, Stalin nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, General Mikhail, train as many anti-tank dogs as possible."
