Chapter 700: train

??Chapter 700 Train

??The enemy’s defense line is actually not a defense line at all. The Romanian army’s defense line is mainly the Don River defense line, with a defense depth of only five kilometers... This is related to the lack of Romanian troops and the natural danger of the Don River.

??The defense line of nearly 100 kilometers south of Stalingrad has only one Romanian Fourth Army plus two Italian divisions, and one of the Italian divisions has also been transferred to Stalingrad.

?? You must know that under this long line of defense, the Soviet army invested in three group armies to attack, but two of them had smaller encirclement circles.

??So, the defense of the Romanian army is a bit like an egg shell, which looks like something on the outside, but after a thin layer of shell is pierced, the inside is empty.

??In fact, in general, it is still a matter of quality and preparation.

Because there is a saying of "layers of defense" in combat, that is, only these soldiers can build a line of defense every three kilometers. When the enemy attacks, they can fight and retreat. Each layer has enough supplies and defenses to consume the enemy. offensive energy and vitality.

The Romanian army should do this even more, because when the German army was fighting **** battles in Stalingrad, they were doing nothing on the west bank of the Don River. The Battle of Stalingrad would not have been lost so badly.

Because the Romanian army was not prepared enough, the attack of the 82nd Infantry Regiment of Shulka was very smooth. Several light tanks opened the way in front, and only one charge tore through the Romanian army's defense line and defeated it... The Romanian army basically has no anti-tank equipment. , At the same time, they didn't have enough courage to rush forward to blow up the tank with grenades and explosives, so as if they were suffering from tank phobia, they started to run away as soon as they saw the tank firing a few typical shots.

??The difficulty mainly comes from the muddy roads, and the railways that are less affected by rainwater are mostly north-south, which makes the marching speed of the 82nd Infantry Regiment not fast.

?? At this time, Shulka basically didn't feel this kind of battle, because he followed the troops in a jeep.

?? If there is any feeling, there are occasional gunshots and explosions ahead.

??Denisokov was very interested in the American jeep he was riding in. He sat in the passenger cab and looked left and right, and asked the driver some questions from time to time.

At this time, the jeep has removed the roof for the convenience of accommodating the radio station... the jeep with the roof removed in the front line is more suitable, because it can facilitate the occupants to shoot and get out of the car in case of emergencies, and at the same time, there is no need to worry that the roof will block the antenna of the radio station .

??If it is the second line, the canopy can be used to shelter from wind and rain for better comfort.

?? Shulka held up the binoculars to observe the surrounding battle situation and casually said to Denisokov: "If you have time, you should learn how to drive!"

?? "Can I?" Denisokov asked with wide-eyed eyes.

?? "Of course!" The driver replied with a smile: "In fact, as an orderly or a guard, you should learn to drive, and you must also be able to drive various cars! The reason... I think you should know!"

?? Denisokov nodded thoughtfully.

??Of course he knew why. Their task was to protect the safety of the chief. If the driver was attacked by the enemy and died, then of course the guards or orderlies had to drive away.

?? After a while, Denisokov said: "So, Comrade Shulka, I am not a qualified orderly!"

??Shuerka smiled and said, "That's because you weren't an orderly!"

?? Denisokov came out of military school, and he was trained to be a commander.

?? "I found that I can't do anything!" Denisokov was a little emotional.

?? Shulka put away the binoculars and said, "Do you know why your father asked you to be an orderly by my side?"

?? Denisokov shook his head.

"You're wrong, Comrade Denisokov!" Shulka said, "He doesn't want you to be a qualified orderly or a qualified fighter, but... next time if you encounter a similar situation, he wants you to make certain decisions to resolve these difficulties, understand?"

?? Denisokov suddenly realized, and then nodded heavily, as if he had found his goal and direction again.

?? We marched in the dark for more than two hours, and we didn’t even know whether the surrounding area was friend or foe... There was also such a thing, when more and more military vehicles were passing by, we suddenly found several Romanian army vehicles next to us.

??It turned out that these Romanian vehicles thought it was their deserter team in the dark, and coupled with the roar of the car motor, they couldn't hear the voice, so they consciously joined them and became prisoners sent to their door.

??However, these captives are a burden to the 82nd Infantry Regiment, because they are interspersed, and at the same time they have to disguise themselves as German troops. The result of bringing captives is asking for trouble.

?? So it goes without saying what will happen. These poor people were quickly disarmed and confiscated, and then pushed to the side of the road to kneel down and shoot them one by one.

??At 9:15, the scouts in front reported to Shulka that the distance was five miles from Upper Tsaritsynsky, to be precise, it was five miles from Upper Tsaritsynsky in the other direction.

??The reason for crossing is because the German army should be coming from the direction of Stalingrad.

?? "Stop advancing!" Shulka ordered: "Get out of the car, pass the order down, everyone put on German uniforms!"

??Shuerka changed into a ready-made colonel's military uniform... Only this can be worthy of his status as regimental commander.

??However, it is limited to military uniforms, and the equipment remains the same.

??The reason for not changing equipment is because there are no conditions...the warehouse does not have a complete set of organic equipment, and on the other hand, soldiers who are accustomed to using Soviet-style equipment suddenly change to German-style equipment will not be used to it, which will affect their combat effectiveness.

??Of course, in fact, the camouflage does not need to be so detailed, because it is dark night, it only needs to look like the German army.

?? "Remember!" Shulka said: "From now on, we are the German army!"

?? With that said, Shulka led the troops to the destination on foot...

?? After walking a few steps, Andrianka reported to Shulka: "Good news, we got information, there are two trains going to Zazensky!"

?? This is not surprising at all. The reason is that Upper Zazensky is an important stop. Trains that share the same track often need to wait here when they meet, and some even have to wait for hours.

?? This is also one of the reasons why Shulka chose Shangzaczynski as his target.

?? Now, it depends on whether a train can be captured completely.
