USSR 1941

"What did you say?" Colonel Pavelkov cast an angry look at Shulka: "It is easy to defeat the enemy?! Then, Comrade Captain, why don't you take your troops up!"

"I said it!" Shulka replied unceremoniously: "You blocked our guns and became a shield to protect the enemy!"

Pavelkov looked at Shulka like a monster, and it took a while before he laughed: "It's easy to do, Comrade Captain, you go up, I will withdraw the troops from the front line!"

"In my way, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied: "I mean, the battle is under my command...that's how I drive the enemy back."

Colonel Pavelkov was furious, and replied without thinking: "No problem, I'll let you take command, let's see what you are capable of!"

"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka straightened his lower body, then shook his head at Major Mikhailvich with a smile.

Major Mikhailvich and Vasily were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

They didn't expect Shulka to get the command power that he couldn't get before no matter how hard he fought for it with just a few words.

In fact, this is very simple. To deal with people who are brave and resourceful, one aggressive method is enough.

Lieutenant Lermontov whispered something in Colonel Pavelkov's ear.

Colonel Pavelkov immediately realized that he had been fooled, but it was difficult to take back the order, so he added a condition: "There is no problem with your command, but you can't retreat and don't lose an inch of territory!"

"Don't worry, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied: "We will take back the land we gave up during the day, inch by inch, at night. Is that okay?"

"Are you planning to abandon Mamayev Post?" Pavelkov frowned.

"No, we just give up the positive slope!" Shulka replied: "If you are not at ease, you can deploy troops behind us!"

Colonel Pavelkov thought about it, and felt that this seemed to be no big problem.

First of all, the loss on the front line was too great, and the 39th Guards Infantry Regiment was a little bit unable to hold on.

What's more, as Shulka said, Bakelkov can also deploy his troops behind the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Then Pavelkov nodded,

Q: "Tell me about your battle plan!"

"It's very simple!" Shulka replied: "We set up positions on the reverse slope, and when we are ready, we will withdraw the frontline troops, and we will leave the rest to us!"

After hesitating for a while, Pavelkov said, "No problem, send a signal when you are ready!"

"Yes, Colonel!" Shulka replied.

When Pavelkov left with his troops, Lieutenant Lermontov said a little unwillingly: "Comrade Colonel, what they want is the command. Are we really going to hand over Mamayev Post to them? If They lost the Mamayev Post, and Comrade Major General will court us!"

"I won't let this happen, Comrade Lermontov!" Pavelkov replied as he walked forward in the traffic trench with a cat on his back: "First of all, our defense line on the front slope has been bombed beyond recognition, I guess The enemy will soon launch a general offensive, which means...even if we are unwilling to give up, we will not be able to defend for long!"

Jumping over a bomb crater, Pavelkov then said to Lermontov who was following up: "Secondly, we have placed the reserve team behind the 82nd Infantry Regiment. Do you know what this means?"

Lermontov thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Can we prevent them from escaping?"

Bavelkov nodded with a smile: "So, what's the point of letting them be proud?"

"That's right, Comrade Colonel!" Lermontov nodded emphatically.

He understood what Pavelkov meant.

If this is the case, then the 82nd Infantry Regiment can only stick to the Mamayev Post. Once it retreats, it will be "executed by the military law" by the infantry guards behind it. There is no doubt about this under Order No. 227. of.

And if the 82nd Infantry Regiment does not retreat, it means that they can only fight the Germans to the end on Mamayev Hill.

The total strength of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is no more than 800 people, and they have been fighting continuously for many days. Under such circumstances, no one would believe that they can stop the German attack.

In other words, the 82nd Infantry Regiment can be said to be dead.

That being the case, why not make the 82nd Infantry Regiment proud again?

More importantly, when the 82nd Infantry Regiment fights to the end, the guard infantry can go up to reinforce or take over the position.

Therefore, this can be said to be of great benefit to the Guards Infantry Regiment.

Lermontov couldn't help secretly admiring him, no wonder Pavelkov could become the leader of a regiment.

On the other hand, of course, Shulka didn't care what other people thought, he, Major Mikhailvich and Vasily had already started a tense deployment.

"We need to divide the position into several layers!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "The top is the ridge line position, set up a company..."

"A company?" said Major Mikhailevich. "Is that too little?"

"The ridge line position is also what we are going to give up!" Shulka said: "Otherwise we will not be able to see the enemy!"

Vasily nodded in agreement, he understood what Shure said.

The ridgeline on the top of the mountain is actually a natural division of the enemy into two parts that are invisible to each other and difficult to reinforce.

"So, all our firepower is deployed on the ridge line!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "About 150 meters down, there is an infantry battalion, and mortars are deployed at 200 meters. Another 300 meters The line of defense should be retreated in case of danger, understand?"

"Understood!" Major Mikhailevich nodded.

"Where's the sniper company?" Vasily asked.

He actually asked the question knowingly, but Shulka thought he also had the taste of Kakashulka.

"You can do whatever you want!" said Shulka, "as long as you can hit the enemy!"

Vasily nodded with satisfaction.

The sniper troops should have enough freedom, and at the same time keep a distance from the enemy as the enemy attacks... Only in this way can the advantage of the sniper's long range be used as much as possible, that is, the sniper can hit the enemy but the enemy cannot. to the sniper.

Since the German light mortars have a range of 500 meters, snipers are more suitable for deployment at around 500 meters.

Because in this way, snipers can almost ignore all the light equipment of the enemy, unless the enemy also has snipers.

"Any questions?" Shulka finally asked.

"No, there is no problem!" Mikhailvich replied, "I will immediately organize troops to build defenses as soon as possible!"

With that said, Mikhailvich took Andrianka and left.
