In 1942, the German army gathered 1.5 million troops to launch a fierce attack on Stalingrad, but the dense tank array suffered from the Soviet army's "anti-tank army dogs", and during World War II, the military dogs set a record of nearly 700,000 rescues for soldiers.
In order to deal with the German tank array, the Soviet army formed 4 military dog companies, and the training method was relatively simple, that is, to tie some explosives to the body of the military dogs, and when the military dogs rushed to the bottom of the tank, the explosives would explode and blow up the tanks.
After many improvements, the Soviets erected the pole on the body of the military dog, and the military dog touched the pole to cause an explosion when it drilled hard into the bottom of the tank.
When training these military dogs, the trainers are trained by using the method of food seduction, they put some of the food that the military dogs like to eat under the tank, lure the military dogs to look for it, and after finding it, they can have a full meal.
Over time, they formed a habit, and as soon as they saw the tank, they would frantically pounce on it. The Soviets were very confident in these dogs, but to their surprise, there was an accident when they went to the battlefield.
The bomb-bearing dogs did not pounce on the German tank line, but pounced on their own tanks. Military dogs are not fleeing from the battlefield, it turns out that they are trained with their own tanks when training, so military dogs only know their own tanks, they have no impression of German tanks, they will not pounce on German tanks.
Careless trainers don't teach them how to tell the difference between enemy and enemy. Later, they gained experience and switched to using German tanks to train these military dogs, which solved this problem. On the battlefield, there were only a series of military dogs carrying bombs, and they rushed towards the oncoming German tank array like lightning.
At the Battle of Stalingrad, the dogs were wiped out with more than 300 tanks, equivalent to wiping out an entire armored division.
In World War II, the Soviet Union trained more than 60,000 military dogs to participate in the war, and a total of 250,000 military dogs were invested in the war, and the military dogs sent intelligence and ammunition, removed the mines in 703 towns and rescued 690,000 wounded soldiers.
