USSR 1941

As soon as Shuerka tore the corpse away, half of her hanging heart was let go. A female soldier under the corpse was screaming desperately... If she screamed, it meant nothing serious, but she was sprayed with blood all over her face.

"Stop, stop!" Shulka shook the female soldier, but the female soldier didn't seem to hear what Shulka said at all.

Without hesitation, Shulka slapped the female soldier twice, then grabbed her by the collar and ordered viciously: "If you don't want to die, pick up your weapon and stand up, do you understand?"

Saying that, he ignored the female soldier, threw her aside and left.

At this time, the battle has come to an end, and the people participating in the battle are the Second Infantry Battalion, all of whom have survived all kinds of harsh environments. How can the rabble of the German and Romanian coalition forces compare, and soon a group of German and Luo soldiers He knelt down and raised the rifle high above his head... This is the standard posture of surrender. Although it is very undignified, it is nothing compared to the painful struggle of being stabbed several times by the bayonet.

"Comrade Major!" Sokolov, who was covered in blood, rushed forward and called back to Shulka.

Shulka looked in his direction and saw a German officer, second lieutenant, holding his hand under his gun.

Shulka originally thought that he was just a small officer, but after asking, he found out that he was Friedrich, the commander-in-chief of this army... He was the one who made the breakout plan.

"I'm curious!" Friedrich asked Shulka: "How did you find out that we are going to break out from this direction?"

This may be why Friedrich chose to surrender.

Shulka understands this kind of behavior. When a person chooses to die or live at the last moment, it is often a matter of thought. If there is a regret, even a little bit of regret or unwillingness, he does not want to take it with him.

Friedrich's reluctance is that he doesn't understand why he was found out and why he failed.

"Landmines, and barbed wire!" Shulka replied: "If it is a normal defense, there should be these things. If not, then there are only two possibilities: either you don't have time, or you have to break out! You obviously don't have time!"

Friedrich suddenly realized, then relaxed and nodded slowly.

"Let me tell you!" Sokolov looked at the back of Friedrich who was taken away, and said, "Actually, there is no other reason, but he doesn't know that his opponent is a 'breakout hero'!"

Sokolov laughed and shook his arms around Shulka's shoulders a few times... This is the way the Soviets greet old friends,

After so long in the army, Shulka was used to this.

Although the breakout of the German and Romanian coalition forces was somewhat dangerous, it also saved the Soviet army a lot of trouble, because in this way, the Soviet army did not need to occupy one building after another, or fight openly and covertly with the enemy in street battles. .

"Comrade Shulka!" At this moment a correspondent called Shulka from a few meters away: "Call, Comrade Viktorovich is looking for you!"

Shulka returned to the command post, picked up the phone, and revealed his identity. Viktorovich on the other end of the phone asked nervously, "How's the situation? I heard that you sent the recruit battalion up and encountered the main force of the enemy?"

"Yes, Comrade Viktorovich!" Shulka replied: "We won the victory, although there were some accidents..."

"Accident? What accident?" Viktorovich interrupted Shulka: "You mean Denisokov?"

"No, no, I don't know about Denisokov's situation..." Shulka discovered what Viktorovich was focusing on.

"Comrade Shulka!" Viktorovich on the other end of the phone emphasized his tone: "They are recruits, how can you let them face the enemy's main force in the first battle! And when there are sufficient troops, supplies and even In the case of air assistance!"

"It was an accident, Comrade Viktorovich!" Shulka explained.

"No matter what it is, you should let them have a process of adaptation!" Viktorovich said: "This will cause heavy casualties in the new barracks, before they grow up..."

At this time Denisokov came back, and Shulka sized him up. Except for a wound on his arm and his face was a little pale, there was nothing serious, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Denisokov is here, do you need to talk to him?" Shulka then handed over the call to Denisokov.

Denisokov answered the phone silently, and said only one sentence: "Comrade Comrade..." Then tears fell.

Shulka looked at him puzzled, not understanding what was going on.

Denisokov avoided Shulka's gaze, parried Viktorovich a few words and hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Shulka asked.

Denisokov hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage and replied: "Comrade Shulka, punish me!"

"Punishment?"

"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov replied: "I was scared, I didn't do anything, the whole battle... I was hiding in the crater all the time..."

It turned out that Denisokov was frightened by the sudden change.

At the beginning, he performed well when attacking the building. After all, he had military training and his marksmanship was also very good. During the battle, he always followed the battalion commander Grigovich to assist him in commanding.

However, when the German army suddenly launched an artillery attack and broke through the encirclement, Denisokov, who was not mentally prepared, was startled by the "rumbling" artillery sound, the shrapnel flying everywhere, and the cries and wailing of his comrades. , his confidence even completely collapsed thinking that they were going to lose this battle...

Recruits are often blinded by the local battle in front of them, because their vision is so narrow that they only see what is in front of them.

When encountering this kind of situation, veterans can easily judge that the enemy is breaking out of the encirclement and is dying, but recruits... they will regard the enemy's overwhelming offensive as a counterattack, especially when they see that the surrounding recruits are in a mess At that time, the idea of ​​being defeated like a mountain came naturally.

Only then did Denisokov realize that the battle was not as he had imagined. Frightened, he curled up in the crater and covered himself with two corpses, shivering underneath. It was not until the end of the battle that he unexpectedly discovered that the winner was actually Soviet army? !

"I'm sorry, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I thought I would be braver and better than others, but..."

Shulka patted him on the shoulder, led him out of the headquarters, then raised his head to the officers and soldiers of the second battalion who were cleaning the battlefield, and said, "Did you see them? They won this battle!" They're brave, don't you think?"

"Yes!" Denisokov nodded sincerely, because such a tragic battle was beyond his imagination, but the officers and soldiers of the Second Infantry Battalion seemed like nothing after the battle. It seems to happen.

"They are deserters!" said Shulka, "without exception!"

Denisokov looked at Shulka in shock, with disbelief on his face.
