USSR 1941

"Are all those remnants placed in buildings No. 7 and No. 12?" Major Mikhailevich asked.

"No, there are many buildings!" Andrianka replied: "But they have been controlled, although I don't know which of them are enemies and which are our own."

Mikhailvich could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Andrianka's approach is obviously necessary, and it is also very easy to do... The total strength of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is only a thousand people. After several months of training, they are all familiar faces. Those unfamiliar "newcomers" Regardless of whether the enemy is in disguise or not, first disarm and arrest them.

"You did the right thing, Comrade Andrianka!" Major Mikhailevich said. "We were lucky and only lost two buildings. I mean, you managed to stop the enemy before the situation got worse conspiracy!"

But Shulka was not so optimistic. He stared at the map without saying a word.

Seeing this, Major Mikhailvich couldn't help asking in doubt: "Is there something wrong, Comrade Shulka!"

"I don't think the focus is on those remnants or the Branfenburg troops!" Shulka pointed to the map and said, "The Germans have initially achieved their strategic goals!"

"What do you mean preliminary?" asked Major Mikhailitch.

"The preliminary meaning is that they are preparing for the attack during the day!" Shulka said: "Building No. 7 and No. 12 are almost in the middle of the hospital, although there are No. 9 and No. 3 in the middle. But Well, if the Germans use bombers to blow up buildings No. 9 and No. 3 at dawn, the entire hospital will be divided into two. If machine guns are used to block fire, they can even divide us into four parts along the aisle. share!"

Hearing this, Major Mikhailvich understood, and he said in horror: "Then break them down one by one?"

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

This division will result in the isolation of communications, supplies, and reinforcements between the buildings, and then the German army can use Buildings 7 and 12 as base points to cover the German attack on other buildings.

"What should we do?" Andrianka had some remorse in his eyes, as if all of this was his fault, including the soldiers who died in those two buildings.

This is not good for Andrianka. He is so emotional that he is easily affected by some emergencies on the battlefield.

"It's no big deal,

Andrianka! ’ Shulka said: ‘We will take them back! "

"Take it back?" said Andrianka, "but the Germans have taken control of these buildings, and they have even learned our tactics!"

Andrianka was referring to rope tactics.

It is not a difficult thing, you only need to tie the explosives to the rope to give full play to the advantages of the high floors, and then blow down layer by layer.

This tactic is almost unsolvable for open, long corridor buildings like hospitals and schools.

If the Germans had not used Branfenburg troops to infiltrate, I am afraid that they would not be able to capture these two buildings so far.

"No, we can!" Shulka said, "Because we are on a high place!"

The Soviet army was indeed at a high place, but the German army did not realize it.

Perhaps it was because the Germans had reached their tentative goal, and the Germans did not attack after that.

Shulka was not in a hurry to act either. He was waiting for the moment of dawn, when the sky would be bright, which would be the best time to attack.

While waiting, Shulka received a special call.

"Long time no see, Comrade Shulka!" A familiar voice came from the phone.

"Comrade Zhukov?" Shulka was a little surprised.

"Yes!" Zhukov laughed on the other end of the phone: "Do you believe it? You are my subordinate again. It is my honor!"

"No, Comrade Zhukov, it's my pleasure!"

"I heard that you won a few more victories in Stalingrad?" Zhukov said, "Congratulations, Shulka! As long as you are there, you can always hear news of victories!"

"Then should I go to Berlin?"

Zhukov laughed.

"Come on, Shulka!" Zhukov said, "If you have an idea, go ahead and do it! I believe in you!"

After putting down the phone, Shulka felt a burst of relief.

Although he had won the trust of Golikov before this, he was not sure what the Supreme Command meant.

Now, as Zhukov is designated as the commander-in-chief of Stalingrad and the Southeastern Front, Shulka is given reassurance.

In fact, Zhukov had already been broadening the way for Shulka before that.

He called the 62nd Army headquarters before calling Shulka.

"I want to know the situation of the 82nd Infantry Regiment!" Zhukov said: "To be precise, it should be Shulka, do you know him?"

"Of course, Comrade Zhukov!" Golikov said: "He is fighting at the front, he is excellent, and the defense of Stalingrad is proceeding step by step, a large part of which is listening to Comrade Shulka's advice!"

Zhukov said "hmm": "I'm glad you listened to Comrade Shulka's advice, although I don't know what those suggestions are, but I believe they are correct, understand? I mean, no matter what he mentioned Suggestion, even if you think it's incredible, don't give up easily!"

"Yes, Comrade Zhukov!" replied Golikov.

Although these words are not actually binding, as the commander of the 62nd Army, Golikov can still command as usual, and even refuse to accept Shulka's suggestion.

However, if Shulka's proposal proved to be correct and Golikov did not accept it, then it was possible to disobey Zhukov's order.

So after such a turn, Shulka's right to speak in Stalingrad has risen exponentially.

But then again, it's actually not that different from before.

Because through Shulka's battles in hospitals and schools and a series of measures implemented in Stalingrad, Golikov has clearly recognized Shulka's ability, and Zhukov's remarks are just icing on the cake.

At this time, Shulka didn't care much about these things. He looked at his watch, watched the hands beating little by little, and then ordered: "Attack!"

As several flares were fired into the air, gunshots and cannons immediately rang out.

Soviet soldiers rushed out from one building after another, and surrounded Buildings 7 and 12, which were controlled by the Germans, in skirmish formation under cover.

A flare was fired from upstairs very quickly, and the surrounding area was illuminated in white, followed by intense gunfire.

A new battle started again.
