USSR 1941

  Chapter 681 Dispute

   Then things were simple, and Shulka gave the matter to Grigovich to do it.

   No matter how stupid Grigovich is, at this time, he also knows that the focus of training from now on is not tactical movements.

  But Denisokov was very unconvinced. He followed Shulka several times along the way, hesitant to speak, with an expression of disbelief.

   Shulka knew why he behaved like this.

   Denisokov hesitated to speak because he promised to obey Shulka's order unconditionally, and now Shulka's order is very clear, which is to let them, including Denisokov, "save themselves."

There is nothing wrong with this in itself, "preserving yourself" is what every soldier on the battlefield should do, and it will be much easier than "charging bravely". Shulka believes that most recruits are actually willing to accept Shulka in their hearts. This "suggestion".

   Not so with Denisokov.

  To be precise, it's not that Denisokov is unwilling...it's because people have the instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, which is human nature.

   It’s just that Denisokov received strict military training since he was a child. Under the influence of the extreme heroism of the Soviet Union, this aspect of human nature has been suppressed in his heart. Instead, he fights bravely and never flinches.

   But now, what Shulka told him was another way, and it could even be said to be the opposite. This made Denisokov feel that the whole world and even his beliefs were collapsing.

"Ask any questions, Comrade Denisokov!" Shulka walked into the command post, unfastened his armed belt and handed it to Denisokov, and said, "Don't worry, I won't think you disobeyed orders." of!"

   "Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov will take the belt and hang it on the wall, and reply: "I know, you must be protecting the recruits, aren't you? That's why you tell them so!

   "You think so?" Shulka asked back.

   "Of course, you think they are still children!" Denisokov said: "But... I think you are doing it wrong, you will give them a wrong idea!"

   "What's the situation?" Andrianka and Mikhailevich, who were busy next to them, looked here with interest.

   "Nothing!" Shulka explained, "I just let the boot camp save me and then..."

  Shuerka spread his hands, and then the two understood, and then let out a burst of helpless and bitter laughter.

"Comrade Denisokov!" said Mikhailvich, "you think Comrade Shulka is lying to you children by saying that? No, you are wrong! People who fight on the battlefield with your ideas, Often it has no effect other than consuming some bullets from the enemy!"

   "No, they can't even consume the enemy's bullets!" Andrianka said: "Because they will bring a large amount of ammunition and equipment to the enemy at the same time!"

   "No, that's not right!" Denisokov said, "How can we win the enemy if everyone is just like you said, just saving himself and not charging?"

   "No one said not to charge, Comrade Denisokov!" Shulka said: "I said that you should not charge when you should not charge!"

"You will understand this in the future!" Mikhailvich touched Denisokov's head and said, "You are right to learn from Comrade Shulka, see how he does on the battlefield !"

Andrianka said with a smile: "If Comrade Shulka had the same idea as you, there would be no 'Breakout Heroes' at all, and there would be no 82nd Infantry Regiment. The cold muddy water of Stalingrad has become a corpse under the enemy's feet, and there will be no way to defeat the enemy again and again and finally come here, understand?"

   Denisokov nodded half understanding, but it could be seen that he was still skeptical.

  At this time, the correspondent shouted to Shulka from a few meters away: "Comrade Shulka, Comrade Khrushchev asked you to go to the headquarters!"

   "I'll be there soon!" Shulka replied, took off the armed belt that had just been hung from the wall, put it on Denisokov, and went out.

   One of the advantages of being a group leader is that you have a car and a dedicated driver.

   And the vehicle is still an American jeep... At this time, the reinforcements from the United States are being continuously transported from the Siberian Railway, and a large part of them has filled the gap of the Soviet army's lack of equipment.

Even so, Shulka knows that this kind of American jeep is not worthy of a regiment leader, because the other regiment leader of the 38th Motorized Rifle Brigade does not have a car, that guy named Kamilov Until now it was only possible to use cars.

   All of this is arranged by Viktorovich.

Of course, this is only an insignificant point. The 82nd Infantry Regiment is much better than other troops in terms of supplies, equipment, and personnel replenishment... I don’t know if Victorovich is because of Khrushchev’s influence or because His son did it when he was with Shulka.

   This is why Kamilov always looks aggrieved with black lines when he sees Shulka.

Shulka also knows that this is unfair. The treatment of the two regiments of the same unit is completely different, especially the 115th regiment of Kamilov is the original unit of the 38th brigade... If you want to use one word to describe it, it is the 38th brigade direct line troops.

   But Shulka, the 82nd Infantry Regiment, was added temporarily.

   It is clear at a glance who is close and who is not, but Shulka's troops have taken advantage of it.

   It is said that Kamilov went to his superior several times because of this, but without exception, he was scolded every time.

   This made Shulka a little embarrassed, especially when he heard that the 115th regiment was eating black bread and the 82nd infantry regiment had beef cans from the United States.

   But of course Shulka pretended not to know anything... Every commander is protecting his weaknesses, so why not let his subordinates enjoy more? !

   What's more, this feeling is still very cool. Who made the 82nd Infantry Regiment able to fight? Troops capable of fighting should be given preferential treatment.

  Unknowingly, the jeep drove to the army headquarters.

  The reason why Khrushchev, as a member of the Military Committee of the Front Army, was at the headquarters of the 51st Army Group is because the 51st Army Group is the outermost group army of the Stalingrad Front Army and is also the main force to encircle the German army.

   Another main force encircling the German army is the 57th Army, which is adjacent to the north of the 51st Army, and Lieutenant General Tolbukhin is the commander.

   Shulka walked into the basement of the headquarters, and it didn't take much effort to find Khrushchev in front of the map.

   Khrushchev didn't say hello, and said to Shulka straight to the point: "Comrade Shulka, they are arguing over which army is the main offensive force. I want to hear your opinion!"
