Chapter 164: teaching group

??Chapter 164 Teaching Group

?? It is rare to get through the ideological work of the assistant instructor, and the next step will be much easier.

??After two days of preparation, Shulka started the first class for the teaching group... Due to time constraints, the guerrillas had already started training in small groups when Shulka was training the teaching group.

??Training subjects mainly include sniping, demolition, mines, reconnaissance, etc.

?? This is mainly about blasting, that is, learning about various explosives... It is easy to understand that their future tasks are mainly to blow up railways, bridges, warehouses, etc.

?? It seems as simple as attaching dynamite and detonating it.

But in fact, it is "a layman watching the excitement and an expert watching the doorway". It may not be difficult to blow up a railway, but bridges, warehouses or important buildings... If you don't know the relevant knowledge or the basic knowledge of blasting, you may miss the point. Insufficient destructive power.

The training in this area is not a big problem. Major Varenka arranged for dozens of experienced engineers to go down... These engineers are experts in blasting, and they are very good at playing with various explosives and mines. More than enough.

??What Shulka has to do is to straighten the minds of the instructors, and then use these instructors to reverse the thinking of the guerrillas.

?? "Comrades!" Shulka walked into the conference room where the teaching group was located and started the first class. The deputy instructor and Major Gavrilov were also listening in. They needed to know the training process and direction.

?? "I know you fought bravely!" Shulka said, "That's one of the reasons you're here, we might have even fought together on the battlefield!"

?? Shulka is right. When the 9th Mechanized Army broke through from Kyiv, some officers and soldiers were responsible for opening the gap.

??The officers and soldiers under the stage showed more or less proud smiles on their faces.

?? As the saying goes, "Thousands of clothes, ten thousand wear flattery and no flattery", the best flattery for soldiers is "honor".

??However, Shulka changed the topic: "However, I need you to forget the previous combat methods, and everything, including the training of your own team in the future, is the same!"

?? The officers and soldiers were astonished, and it took a while before someone asked, "Why, Comrade Second Lieutenant?"

?? "You must have heard of the German 'Branfenburg' troops!" Shulka asked back.

"Yes of course!"

?? "We're going to form a force like this!" Shulka said.

?? "But we don't know German!" An officer asked suspiciously: "The Germans have learned Russian and our habits before they can get in..."

"We don't need to learn German!" Shulka said. "Comrades, we are an invaded country and the Germans are fighting on our soil! Of course, this is not something to brag about, but we have an advantage, we You can perform missions among the common people!"

??The members of the teaching group couldn't help but nodded when they heard this, they knew what kind of army this was.

?? Major Gavrilov couldn't help but secretly nodded when he heard these words.

??Shuerka is "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude". What he said to the assistant instructor is different from what he said to the teaching team, and even the examples he gave are different.

??For political workers like deputy instructors... You must know that they usually do things like placing eyeliner, so they have a good understanding of spies and agents. Using them as an example of deputy instructors is deeply empathetic.

??Actually, Shulka originally wanted to use the example of a political worker "making a small report": Can you not hide your eyeliner, stand up aboveboard, and "go forward bravely without fear of sacrifice"?

?? But of course Shulka couldn't say the same.

??Using spies and agents can bypass this embarrassing point very well, and the assistant instructor can understand it.

??As for the members of the teaching group selected from the army in the conference room, if you say "spy, agent" to them, although they know it, they basically have no idea.

But as long as the German "Branfenburg" troops are mentioned... they hate it deeply, especially at the beginning of the Soviet-German war, the German "Branfenburg" troops always infiltrated into the Soviet army first, and then Obtain intelligence, seize bridges, warehouses, traffic arteries, attack enemy headquarters, etc. to ensure that subsequent armored forces can pass quickly.

What the Soviet army hates the most is: the German "Branfenburg" troops will pretend to be Soviet officers, and then "go to the battlefield" to give orders to the front-line troops during the war... Soviet soldiers who have no combat experience accept it like fools The order was then surrounded, cut up, and captured.

?? As the so-called "painful experience", they have just been hit in the battle and their wounds have not healed. Of course, they know what kind of troops are like "Branfenburg", so they soon have a direction.

"Another difference between us and the 'Branfenburg' forces is..." Shulka continued: "Their goal is to cooperate with the attack of the armored forces and follow-up forces, so they have to ensure the safety of bridges, railways and other facilities. And Our goal is to hit their logistics and slow them down, so our goal is to destroy bridges, roads, railways, and their warehouses, clear?"

?? "Yes, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" The members of the teaching group nodded one after another.

?? This is not difficult to understand, although those railways and roads are all from the Soviet Union.

??The next point is coming...

?? "In order to better complete these tasks! I hope you can remember these few words, and then implement them in the battle against the enemy!"

??Shuerka wrote a few lines on the blackboard: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."

?? This is the sixteen-character tactics of guerrilla warfare.

??Its core is actually one: don't confront the enemy head-on.

??This is of course correct. The guerrillas have few men and few guns and poor combat effectiveness. They are only suitable for scattered operations to accumulate small victories into big victories, and are not suitable for hard battles with the enemy.

??But if Shulka told the members of the teaching group in this way, it would be difficult to understand on the one hand and difficult to remember on the other hand.

??But the sixteen-character tactics of guerrilla warfare are much simpler...it is a specific tactic, specifying what to do when the enemy attacks, what to do when the enemy stops to rest, and so on.

?? It is especially convenient to remember, so that even in a tense battlefield, you will not forget and fight randomly... But the Soviets often do this, and Shulka is not sure whether they can understand the essence.

?? But the main problem is not here.

?? "Comrade Second Lieutenant!" At this moment, an officer asked suspiciously: "What if you are deemed a deserter if you do this?"

?? Shulka turned his attention to the assistant instructor, and now is the time for him to play a role.
