The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Zimryanskaya is a small town more than 100 kilometers away from Stalingrad. The reason why it is important is that it is adjacent to the Don River in the east, which allows it to build a line of defense along the Don River and make it an offensive or defensive base.

Of course, at this time, the German army had already broken through the Soviet army's Don River defense line in the east, so Zimryanskaya became a second-line distribution center. The engineers repaired the roads and railways leading to Zimryanskaya during the war at the fastest speed. The German army's supplies and troops were continuously sent here and then sent to the front line.

Two days later, the First Infantry Regiment took a train to Zimryanskaya.

As soon as I got here, I felt that the style of painting had changed... Everywhere I looked, there were houses that were bombed to pieces. Some were obviously burned black by fire. The ground was full of potholes and craters. Obviously, there had been a fierce battle here. The German army attacked and bombed once, and the Soviet army attacked and bombed again, and it became like this over and over again.

If there is any place that is flat, it is the streets and roads.

But the smoothness of the streets and roads is only relative. They are like the patched clothes of beggars, patched here and there, and in some places they are simply put on the craters with wooden boards to use... Obviously, these are all good things done by engineers to save time.

But it seems that they can't be blamed. On the one hand, there are too many craters, and on the other hand, as the front line advances, the more important task of engineers is the work on the front line rather than the rear.

The First Infantry Regiment was arranged to be stationed in the ruins south of Zimryanskaya. This order made Colonel Slaine very dissatisfied, because these ruins were full of Soviet people huddled like rats.

In some ways, they should leave here and find ways to survive somewhere else, such as Transcaucasus.

But in fact, it is very difficult to do this, because even if they are sure that there are relatives in Transcaucasus to rely on and that there is food to eat there, they are afraid that they will starve to death before they get there.

Colonel Slaine's dissatisfaction is not because of this, but if the First Infantry Regiment is to be stationed here, all these people must be driven away.

"So where should we drive them to?" Colonel Slaine asked the major of the security regiment who was assigned to them.

The major looked at Colonel Slaine with interest, as if he was looking at a monster from outer space, and then he teased: "Colonel, if you want, you can drive them to Germany and live in your house. What do you think of this suggestion?"

The security soldiers around the major laughed wantonly.

Colonel Slaine had a stern face and looked angry, but he didn't say anything, because as mentioned before, the Wehrmacht couldn't afford to offend the police of these security regiments.

Qin Chuan strode up, took out a notebook and a pen and asked loudly: "Your name, Major, and you... I mean everyone who laughed just now!"

"What?" The major asked back with a disdainful look: "Are you going to report us? It's up to you, Major!"

He turned around and left without paying any attention to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan winked, and several soldiers under his command surrounded them and pressed their heads with MP43.

The officers and soldiers of the Security Corps looked at the black muzzle of the MP43 and the ferocious eyes of those soldiers. Although they were a little scared, they pretended not to care.

The major of the Security Corps even continued to threaten Qin Chuan: "Major, if you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better put it away!"

Qin Chuan ignored him and walked forward and said: "If you don't tell me your name and number, I guarantee that I will let them pull the trigger!"

"You don't have the power to do this!" said the major of the Security Corps.

"You are right, I really don't have this power!" Qin Chuan replied: "But at least you should find out what unit we are before you disrespect the colonel, 'Oh'... Maybe you don't know the 'First Infantry Regiment' at all, because you don't care about the battlefield at all, you only care about how to plunder from the people, right?"

Listening to Qin Chuan's words, the major of the Security Corps had a cautious look on his face, because the reputation of the 'First Infantry Regiment' had indeed resounded throughout the entire Eastern Front.

But he still said stubbornly: "So what, Major?"

"Hmm!" Qin Chuan smiled and replied: "So, you have heard of the 'First Infantry Regiment', then you should know that we participated in the Battle of Holm, and we also participated in the Battle of Holm with Major General Hartman, the commander of the 211th Security Division. He also left me a phone number and told me that I could contact him at any time... I think it's time to use it now. Don't you think so, Major?"

Qin Chuan emphasized the last sentence.

The Major of the Security Regiment changed his face, as if he was considering the authenticity of Qin Chuan's words.

At this time, a soldier of the Security Regiment leaned close to the Major's ear and whispered: "Major, he is the 'legendary sergeant', I have seen him in the newspaper!"

The Major of the Security Regiment opened his mouth wide when he heard this, and looked at Qin Chuan, and then he realized that the Major General Hartman Qin Chuan was talking about was just a lightweight figure Qin Chuan knew.

"Apologize, Major!" said the security major, "I don't think it has gotten to that point!"

"I don't think it's me you need to apologize to!" Qin Chuan replied coldly.

"Oh, yes!" The major of the security regiment understood what Qin Chuan meant. He nodded, then walked up to Colonel Slain and saluted: "Please forgive me for being rude, sir!"

"So, Major!" Colonel Slain asked with a straight face, "Our station..."

"Of course, I will arrange it!" the major of the security regiment replied: "I must have made a mistake. Your station is in a school two miles away from here. There is a spacious space and walls that can be used for defense. As long as But some places were blown up! You know, that’s inevitable in a war!”

Colonel Slaine nodded with satisfaction, and then the matter was settled. The major of the security regiment shook hands with Qin Chuan, said a few polite words, and then left angrily.

"A bunch of bastards!" Colonel Slaine looked at their backs and couldn't help but cursed, and then said to Qin Chuan: "I think I should thank you!"

"Yes, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "But I really don't want to let them go like this!"

"Forget this!" Colonel Slain said: "Most of them are like this. If you are serious with them, then you may have to deal with many more people than those Bolsheviks!"
