USSR 1941

Chapter 467: Gift

??Chapter 467 Gift

?? "You think highly of me, Comrade Andrianka!" Shulka silently lit a cigarette in his mouth.

?? "You are a 'breakout hero', aren't you?" Andrianka asked with a plea on his face, "You have led the remnant soldiers to defeat the enemy time and time again, and now you can do the same!"

?? "The problem is that we have no chance at all, Comrade Andrianka!"

?? "Opportunity, no, of course we have a chance!" Andrianka objected: "There will be a chance anytime!"

?? "So, what chance do you have for us?" Shulka disagreed.

?? After being stunned for a while, Andrianka replied: "We can train strictly, and then win a few times on the battlefield, and then the superiors will change their impression of us!"

?? "The point is here, how can we win a few times on the battlefield?" Shulka said: "With these soldiers? And these equipment? Our rifles are even old and replaced!"

?? Shulka is right. A considerable part of the equipment of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is repaired goods, and some of them are even picked up from the battlefield and need to be repaired by themselves.

??This is due to the fact that a large number of Soviet troops were captured and lost a lot of equipment. On the other hand, the Soviet military industry was retreating, and at the same time, the Soviet army had a large number of recruits. As a result, the supply of rifles was tight.

??Of course, with the Soviet Union’s industry, if it were to produce rifles with all its strength, it would not be enough to equip the rifles. The problem is that the Soviet army still needs to concentrate a large amount of labor to produce aircraft, tanks, cannons, cars, etc.

?? "These are not problems!" Andrianka said: "As long as we win one battle, once...we can capture the enemy's equipment, and the superiors will also increase our supplies, and then our situation will improve soon..."

?? "Comrade Andrianka!" Shulka interrupted him impatiently: "You know, this army is likely to cease to exist after one battle!"

?? Shulka was telling the truth.

??If the equipment and personnel are unbearable to this point, it means that the task it performs is fire reconnaissance rather than capture.

?? Simply put, it is cannon fodder, using people to test the enemy's firepower points, stepping on mines, or wasting enemy ammunition without fire cover.

??It is almost impossible to win in this situation, even Shulka.

??Andrianka was silent, nodded after a while, and said solemnly: "I understand, Comrade Shulka, excuse me!"

?? It can be seen that Andrianka is very disappointed.

??But Shulka has nothing to do, because that is the fact, this force has almost been characterized.

??Shuerka is not too worried about his future.

The reason is as he analyzed before, the reason why the Supreme Command will throw the "breakout hero" to this army is that they are overconfident, thinking that the victory is certain at this time, so they don't need to be like the "breakout hero". Hero" talent.

but it is not the truth.

??When the Supreme Command realizes this, the "breakout hero" will be used again, that is, Shulka will be transferred to other units, and may even be promoted again.

?? There is only one danger in this, and that is that before that moment, the 82nd Infantry Regiment will be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

But this may be very small, because Shulka knows that the focus of the next battlefield will be Kharkov... The confident Soviet army concentrated its forces in Kharkov to launch a fierce attack on the German army, but they did not expect to be attacked by the German army. Reverse the encirclement and fight along this gap to Stalingrad.

??The battle to attack Kharkov was fought by the Soviet Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army, and had nothing to do with the Bryansk Front Army being reorganized.

?? In other words, what Shulka needs is to wait patiently.

?? Shulka did indeed do this. After all, waiting in the 82nd Infantry Regiment is not a difficult task. All he has to do is to cooperate with Major Mikhailvich to do some routine training.

?? Two days later the first battalion returned to the troops.

??As I said before, the 82nd Infantry Regiment will send a battalion to the city every week to take care of security.

In fact, they are not only responsible for law and order. When they return from the city, they will also bring back some food and drinks that the people gave to the soldiers... The 82nd Infantry Regiment needs these supplies to maintain, which also shows how difficult they are. .

??Valery ran to the headquarters immediately. He first saluted the head of the regiment, and then stood in front of Shulka who was reading the documents.

??Andrianka is right. Major Mikhailvic has never given up on training, or it can be said that he almost gave up before that, but the arrival of Shulka gave him new hope.

?? Therefore, Major Mikhailvich discussed with Shulka almost every day how to organize troop training and how to improve their combat effectiveness.

Shulka wanted to tell him that all this was futile. They didn't have such a training basis, and there was no need for training, because at that time, they would order all the staff to charge... For charging at the enemy's muzzle and under the muzzle , There is almost no difference between good and bad quality.

?? "What's the matter, Comrade Valery!" Shulka shifted his gaze from the document to Valery.

?? "Oh, yes, Comrade Deputy Head!" Valery replied while taking out a bag of things from the bag, including bread, dried fish, and Vodka in a small flagon.

?? "What does this mean?" Shulka asked suspiciously.

?? "Sorry, Comrade Deputy Head!" Valery replied with a smirk, "My mother asked me to bring it to you, I hope you can accept it!"

?? "Your mother?"

?? "Yes!" Valery replied: "I am from Ulyupinsk. She asked me to follow you to fight the enemy and obey your orders!"

??Shuerka was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, I accept it!"

?? "Thank you! Thank you, Comrade Shulka!" Valery excitedly shook Shulka's hand and kept saying, "Thank you very much, you are so kind!"

?? Then, Shulka immediately discovered that there was more than one person like Valery, because several soldiers immediately brought Shulka some food.

?? Before long, Shulka's desk was piled with gifts and even a few letters.

?? But Shulka did not open the letters.

?? "Why don't you take a look?" Andrianka asked, "Is it because of fear?"

?? Shulka did not answer.

"Have you already guessed what will be written in those letters?" Andrianka said sarcastically: "Don't worry, you can read the contents inside, they won't eat you! No one will take anything against you So, 'Breakout Heroes'!"
