The old story.

A spring inspection of the officer. In the fire control cabin on the layout of the terrain sweat I do not remember already, it seems, the captain, the commander of the battery. One task failed shamefully. Started the shooting from a short flight at the close location of the positions of "our and unhappy". But for some reason he liked General Gamov, from the district. And he decided to give him a rescue circle:

Captain, the enemy division opened fire on your battery. But you have everything: their coordinates and any ammunition, as much as you want. Your actions? You have already been caught in the wreck. They cover now.

The captain in the cabin of the orchestral glass propelled through the helmet. But he was educated in school and knows that only a regiment can suppress the fire of the division. He has a battery. The captain, reddened by tension, beggingly looks at the half-can, but he, knowing the solution, only licked. Gamow repeats with emphasis:

You have all the ammunition and a lot of it. The weather is windless!

The boarding face of the captain in the helmet is illuminated by a spark of guess. And he, pressing the barrel with his left hand, and waving in tact to each word of his right, begins to mourn on the whole class. It is heard directly, not through dynamics:

- 77 - Third, a super-caliber nuclear shell ХХХ.7ХХ, a special charge. Primary target yyy, main direction, left ZZZ...

In the classroom, besides the officers, I am a sergeant behind the machine guns, and two soldiers from the garment on mailings.

Gates cannot withstand:

Stop and shut up. Go out of the cabin! Naked from the field! You will go to court and I will go to the tundra.
That is th. The captain was ready to start a nuclear war because of the next title burning with a bright flame.

by PS. Who is interested in the correct solution of the task. The captain had to deploy two guns on each of the three batteries and with a fleeting fire, almost without targeting, to smoke their positions with smoke shells, blind them, so that they and their landmarks (induction points) and spare (colimators) could not see. The weather is windless, smoke falls on the carpet. Immediately remove from the fire position.

I told Ost.
