USSR 1941

Chapter 639: Official second generation

??Chapter 639 The second generation of officials

??Shuerka's timeout was at the right time, because Major General Jonas was about to make a big fight at this time, but unexpectedly he punched the cotton and couldn't exert force.

??As I said before, the German army has a habit of fighting. When they encounter an enemy using a new tactic and don’t know how to deal with it, the first thing they do is to use the same tactic of the enemy.

?? There is some truth to this approach.

??Because first of all, it is not easy to suffer from the same tactics as the enemy, and secondly, the quality of the German army is usually better than that of the opponent, so even the rear can gain the upper hand.

??Major General Jonas arranged for this kind of sniper battle without even thinking about it.

?? "If they want to fight like this, let them fight like this!" Major General Jonas said.

?? As a result, the German army on the front line soon launched a large-scale sniper battle.

?? But this kind of fighting came to an abrupt end when the German army had just achieved results.

??The German officers and soldiers were complacent about this, thinking that the Soviet army was scared by them.

??However, when it got dark, the intermittent gunshots and artillery sounded again.

??In fact, at night, the cooperation of mortarers and snipers is even more needed.

Because the German army is mainly defensive in the dark, and the defensive side is more likely to hide behind bunkers or ruins, which will make it difficult for snipers to do anything or be effective. After all, rifles are direct-firing weapons, and they can’t attack people behind bunkers. The target poses a threat.

?? This is where the mortar can come into play.

The mortarer is in contact with the sniper and is ready to stare at the same bunker. The mortar fires shells towards the bunker. The enemy is either killed or realizes that his position has been targeted by the enemy mortarer, so panic Rush out from the bunker and try to jump to another position... At this time, only a few "bang bang" gunshots were heard, and the round of sniping was over.

?? The results of the battle were reported to Shulka in batches, and the effect was quite good. However, 73 enemies were killed in more than two hours, and there were more than 20 suspected dead.

??The reason for saying "suspected kill" is that sometimes it is impossible to judge whether the target was hit or not in the dark.

?? Among them, Vasily killed twelve of them alone.

?? Dimitri looked at the results of the battle and asked with some doubts: "Why didn't the Germans organize a sniper counterattack as they did during the day?"

?? "The Germans don't like the night, Comrade Dimitri!" Shulka replied: "Besides, they are frightened by us!"

?? "What?" Dimitri looked at Shulka suspiciously.

??Unbeknownst to Dimitri, Shulka played a little trick in this by making Vasily swim and fight at the front.

??Vassily has extraordinary perception and sensitivity, no matter where he goes, he can suppress German snipers.

??So Shulka let Vasily break away from the army and let him go back and forth to snipe the opponent on the defensive line.

??This created a false impression for the German army. They thought that the Soviet army camp suddenly had a few super-level snipers, and the German army hiding in the dark was taken away with a "bang" without even seeing the figure.

This put a lot of psychological pressure on the German army, and the night magnified this fear, so the entire team was beaten out of temper. Major General Jonas had nothing to do about it, and could only wait for dawn to win the round .

??But what Major General Jonas didn't know was that Shulka would not let them go so easily.

?? "We should organize a commando!" Shulka said.

?? "Attack?" Dimitri said: "I'm ready, the 872nd and 921st infantry regiments!"

?? Then Dimitri pointed to the map and said: "I plan to let them attack from the two wings of the defense line..."

?? "No!" Shulka interrupted Dmitri: "We only need one battalion!"

?? "A battalion?" Dimitri raised his head in astonishment.

??On such a battlefield, the strength of a battalion is not enough for the enemy's teeth, and the machine guns will disappear after a while of "chug chug".

?? "Yes!" Shulka pointed to the map and said, "Let them take grenades and rocket launchers, disperse them throughout the defense line, and attack the enemy's bunkers under the cover of snipers, understand?"

??Dimitri couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Excuse me, Captain! I don't think this will defeat the enemy!"

?? "Then how do you think we should fight to defeat the enemy?" Shulka asked back: "Let the soldiers hold guns and line up to charge towards the enemy's muzzle?"

"I, I don't know..." Dmitry replied: "But in a sneak attack like ours, the enemy's losses are minimal, we can't regain the lost land, and we have nothing to do but let precious time slip away from us." not!"

?? "Do you think we can get nothing?" Shulka asked back.

?? "I don't see what we can get!" Dimitri replied.

?? Shulka was not angry because of Dimitri's objection, on the contrary, he had a new understanding of him.

??If someone else knew that the former division commander Batrakov was dismissed and sent to the punishment camp because he didn't listen to Shulka's suggestion, then no matter what Shulka said, he would unconditionally execute it.

?? But Dimitri didn't do that.

?? This is a kind of courage, a principle, or integrity.

?? There was a great need for such a man in the Soviet Army.

Shulka did not answer Dimitri directly, but handed Dimitri a cigarette and asked: "I am a little curious, Comrade Dimitri, how did you become a member of the NKVD troops and the official is supreme school?"

??Dimitri took the cigarette in embarrassment, and replied: "It's because of my father, Captain! He works in the Security Bureau and is a major general!"

??So Shulka understood that he was a second-generation official.

??Things in this world are sometimes so strange. Not all second-generation officials are the arrogant and domineering type, especially in the melting pot of intrigue like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the second-generation officials who are sheltered by others are positive.

??Because as I said before, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, people who are able to rise to the top are usually people who are good at playing tricks. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive here, and they would be trampled under by others as a stepping stone.

??However, the second generation official is an exception here, because because of his father's face, no one dares to think of Dimitri...or if there are people who really think of him, his father secretly clears them out.

??So Dimitmi did not participate in these intrigues and tricks, but was able to survive here innocently, and became a colonel.

?? "You have a good father!" Shulka said.

?? "Yeah, I think so too!"

?? "It's just that he may not have taught you much how to deal with the enemy!" Shulka said: "We should never fight as the enemy wants!"
