USSR 1941

  Chapter 163 Formation

  This brings great difficulties to training... Ten teams who don't know each other means training separately, and Shulka cannot train ten separate teams at the same time.

   But this problem was quickly resolved.

   "We can train ten or more instructors first, and let the instructors train them!" Major Varenka suggested.

   "Yes!" Major Gavrilov said: "So we need a teaching regiment. As long as we train them well, they can send guerrillas to the battlefield one after another!"

I have to say that Major Gavrilov and Major Varenka are still quite capable, which saved Shulka a lot of trouble, and they even quickly selected the members of the teaching group, a total of 50 people. Carefully selected, including members with political awareness, combat bravery, quick response, and excellent military quality.

   "Why don't we just transfer a unit from the 5th Airborne Brigade?" Major Varenka made a suggestion.

What Major Varenka said may be reasonable, because most of the officers and soldiers of the 5th Airborne Brigade of the Southwest Front Army meet these conditions, at least meet the requirement of political awareness... All those who can join the 5th Airborne Brigade have been clearly checked and in It has been tested layer by layer before the war.

  But Shulka doesn't think so.

   "Because of their training, Comrade Varenka!" Shulka said.

   "What?" Major Varenka was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem with their training?"

  The deputy instructor also looked puzzled. Of course, he also knew that the 5th Airborne Brigade was the elite of the army, so he didn't think there was any problem with it.

   Shulka looked at them and knew it was time to make things clear to them.

"First of all, the way of fighting is different!" Shulka said: "We need soldiers who can flexibly and flexibly fight on the battlefield, but the 5th Airborne Brigade received all formal tactical training, and it was repeated over and over again, so many They have now formed a conditioned reflex, and they will naturally react accordingly when encountering a situation!"

"That's right!" Major Gavrilov said: "The unit we have formed is another type of combat. If you choose the unit of the 5th Airborne Brigade, the first thing to do is to change their combat habits... This is very difficult in itself and takes a lot of time!"

Major Gavrilov is a relatively "flexible" kind of person, which is why he was censored for inappropriate remarks when he was in the Brest Fortress. Even in history, he can be searched by the enemy Walking around the Brest Fortress alone and fighting for more than a month... This is guerrilla warfare in itself.

  So, if anyone is worthy of the name to side with Shulka, it is Major Gavrilov.

  Varenka and the assistant instructor nodded in agreement.

   "If you choose another army, you don't need to change the habit of this process!" Varenka said: "It will be much simpler!"

"Yes!"

   It's okay, at least not on the intellectual side, so they're easy to pick up.

  Shuerka may be able to continue to fool the past, but he knows that he must reach an agreement with them, especially the deputy instructor, otherwise the next work cannot be carried out.

   "Also!" Shulka continued: "About tactics..."

   Major Gavrilov stopped arranging the documents in his hands, he knew what Shulka was going to say.

   "I hope you understand a little bit!" Shulka said: "We put more emphasis on preserving ourselves! That is, 'Only by preserving ourselves can we better destroy the enemy'!"

   "What does this mean?" The deputy instructor looked at Shuerka with some puzzlement: "Shouldn't it be 'Go forward bravely without fear of sacrifice'?"

   "That's a frontal battle, Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Shulka said.

   "We are forming a guerrilla unit, Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Gavrilov said: "They are a small force. If they "go forward bravely without fear of sacrifice" as in frontal combat, they will soon disappear without a trace..."

   "That can't 'save yourself'!" The deputy instructor said: "This is capitulationism, which is absolutely not allowed! What's more..."

Speaking, the deputy instructor took out Order No. 270 and read a paragraph: "We cannot tolerate the existence of timid soldiers, and the existence of troops that flee to the rear once attacked by the enemy, otherwise they will destroy our army. Destroy our country... Look, Comrade Shulka, cowards and deserters must be wiped out, and we have soldiers doing it? No, that's impossible!"

  The command center fell silent instantly, and the people nearby involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked towards this side.

   This matter is not big or small.

   Let’s say it’s big, but there are disagreements on the direction of guerrilla training.

   Calling it small is a blatant violation of Order No. 270 issued by Moscow, especially since the order has just been issued and needs to be modeled, but Shulka and his team want to use contrary or even opposite ideas to form an army...

  Of course, Shulka will not be intimidated by the assistant instructor. He knows that this cannot be avoided, and he will have to face it one day.

   "Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Shulka said: "Let's put it this way, we also have spies or agents sent to the enemy's interior, don't we?"

   "Of course!" The assistant instructor nodded.

   "So, can you use Order No. 270 to ask these spies or agents?" Shulka asked: "Let them not be afraid of sacrifice and move forward?"

  The deputy instructor couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words. This is obviously not acceptable, because doing so would mean that the spies and agents would be exposed and eliminated immediately.

   "But this is different!" The deputy instructor objected: "They are not combat troops!"

"The force we are going to form is also not a combat force, Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Shulka said: "That's why we need to form and train, otherwise we just send them to the battlefield and tell them what to do. ..."

  Speaking, Shulka spread his hands: "Why do you need to do this?"

"Yes, Comrade Deputy Instructor!" Major Gavrilov said: "Their task is to target the enemy's supply lines, that is, roads, railways, warehouses, not the enemy. This is an essential difference! , I’m afraid they won’t be able to survive for a day behind enemy lines, let alone complete their mission!”

  Major Varenka understood, and he added: "Then there is no need for us to form this force!"

   Shulka thought about this issue for a few days, and he believed that an explanation from this aspect would be better understood and accepted.

   Sure enough, the deputy instructor had nothing to say, and asked after a while: "Does the superior agree to do this?"

   "Of course!" Shulka turned his gaze to Varenka.

   "Of course!" Major Varenka replied: "This is an order from Comrade Kirponos!"
