Chapter 541: admit

??Chapter 541 admitted

?? "The point?" Akimovich was puzzled when he heard that it was not the first time that the German army attacked him with tanks. Could it be any different from before?

Shulka had no time to discuss this issue with Akimovich. He ran down the trench to Major Mikhailvich with a gun in his hand, and said, "Comrade Major, I think we should do Get ready to retreat!"

?? "Retreat?" Major Mikhailvich said: "Our rear is the Guards Infantry Regiment, Comrade Shulka, we have nowhere to go!"

?? "Don't withdraw from Mamayev Post!" Shulka explained: "Withdraw to the next line of defense!"

?? "But this will make our troops too concentrated!" Major Mikhailvich said: "Our regiment has increased a lot of people, you know, those soldiers of the Guards Infantry Regiment!"

??To be precise, it was the rout of the Guards Infantry Regiment. At least 300 people joined the 82nd Infantry Regiment, which increased the strength of the 82nd Infantry Regiment from more than 700 to thousands of people.

??This increase in troop strength is sometimes not a good thing, because the second line of defense they built before was built against 700 people.

??The result of overcrowding is that a large number of casualties will occur after the enemy is covered by artillery fire.

?? "And we can't retreat again and again!" Major Mikhailvich added: "We only have two lines of defense. If we continue to retreat, they will beat us to death on the road as deserters!"

??The "they" here refer to needless to say, of course they are Colonel Pavelkov and Lieutenant Lermontov.

?? "We don't need to withdraw again and again!" Shulka replied: "We just need to hold out until nightfall!"

?? Major Mikhailvich looked at the sky, then nodded clearly.

?? "Listen to you, Comrade Shulka!" Major Mikhailvich said: "When you can retreat, you give the order! But I think we must report to Colonel Pavelkov!"

?? "Of course!" Shulka replied.

?? Returning to the headquarters, Shulka immediately called the headquarters of the Guards Infantry Regiment.

?? "I hope to disperse part of the troops to the rear!" Shulka said: "They are not retreating!"

?? Pavelkov on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then replied: "No problem, I know!"

??Shuerka couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

?? Shulka certainly knew that Pavelkov and his subordinates were the "supervisor team" behind, so he was worried that he would not be able to explain Pavelkov and refused to "retreat" in any situation.

?? But I didn't expect Pavelkov to speak so easily.

"Your performance is very brave, Captain!" Pavelkov explained: "So, even if you retreat, I will provide you with cover! Don't worry about fighting, according to your plan, I will be your backup... I mean That is, if you need our reinforcements, you can also mobilize my troops!"

?? Shulka breathed a sigh of relief.

??The feeling of "wolves before and tigers behind" on the battlefield is really bad. Sometimes Shulka even worried that Colonel Pavelkov would secretly play tricks for his own self-interest.

This is indeed possible, because personally speaking, the victory of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is not beneficial to Pavel at all, not only has no advantages, but even disadvantages, because he has to explain why the combat effectiveness of the Guards Infantry Regiment under his command is still low. Not as good as a "punishment camp".

??From this point of view, Pavelkov can completely watch the 82nd Infantry Regiment fight the Germans cleanly, and then lead the troops forward to pick the fruits of victory.

?? However, not everyone is so blind to the big picture.

?? "Thank you!" Shulka said.

?? "It should be me thanking you, Comrade Captain!" Colonel Pavelkov replied: "You have proved yourself with your actions!"

??After hanging up the phone, Lieutenant Lermontov said beside him: "Colonel, but they..."

"Comrade Lermontov!" Colonel Pavelkov interrupted Lermontov: "They are our comrades, and although they are guard troops, it has been proved that their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Guards infantry regiment! In fact, I think they're right...that we're blocking their guns. So, why shouldn't they be in command of the fight?"

?? "Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Lermontov was a little helpless, but since the head of the regiment said so, there was nothing he could do about it.

?? On the other side, just as Shulka put down the phone, Akimovich ran into the headquarters and shouted: "Comrade Shulka, the enemy is attacking!"

?? Shulka ran out with a gun without saying a word.

??The two of them lay down on the trench, and saw the wreckage of German tanks everywhere in front of the position, at least a dozen of them.

??Most of these wreckages approached the Soviet army's positions, and some were still on fire and smoking, like walls blocking the Soviet army.

?? "I know what the point is, Comrade Shulka!" Akimovich said: "They used these tank wreckages as cover and used them as a basis to attack us!"

??Shuerka let out a "hmm", observed for a while and then continued: "Especially they can safely deploy artillery observers behind the wrecked tanks, which will put a lot of pressure on us!"

?? Akimovich nodded to express his understanding.

Prior to this, the reason why the Soviet army was able to gain the upper hand repeatedly was due to the mortars... It was very difficult for the German army to deploy artillery observers, and it was difficult for the unfamiliar terrain or it could be said that there was no detailed contour Graph data is fatal to them.

?? This is also the reason why German artillery observers risked being mixed in with dead bodies.

?? But now, they can safely hide behind the wreckage of the tank.

?? Not only that, infantry can also leap forward with the help of tank wreckage.

?? "Order!" Shulka pointed to the front line and said to the signal soldier: "Let the mortar troops block this, this, and this... three wrecked tanks with artillery fire!"

?? "Yes, Comrade Captain!"

?? Akimovich looked puzzled again, because the three tanks were not the closest, but were more than 50 meters away from the Soviet defense line.

?? "Why them?" asked Akimovich.

?? "Fifty meters!" Shulka said: "This means that their grenades can be thrown into our trenches, but we cannot!"

??Akimovich couldn't help but let out an "oh".

This distance is indeed embarrassing for the Soviet army. Due to the condescending reason, the German army can throw grenades into the Soviet trenches even if they hide behind the wreckage of the tank, but the Soviet army throws them upwards. The wreckage of the tank was accurately thrown behind it.

?? Then Akimovich sighed again.

?? "I thought I had almost learned it!" Akimovich said: "Now I know that is not the case!"
