Chapter 689: exercise



  Chapter 689 Exercise

"Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka, who was commanding at the front, yelled on the phone: "The enemy's firepower is very strong. Their 88MM artillery fires far and accurately. It is difficult for us to get close to them! We are not sure how many of them there are. I don't know if it's a tank or not..."

   "Surround them!" Shulka interrupted Andrianka, saying: "From all directions, and then launch a charge! Let the fourth battalion be the main force of the attack, and let them drive the amphibious landing ship to charge!"

  Andrianka was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Yes" and deployed according to Shulka's order.

  The reason why Andrianka was surprised was because Shulka was rarely "reckless" on the battlefield as he is now... directly choosing violence to encircle a large-scale charge without knowing the enemy.

  But as the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and sometimes simple and rude large-scale charges are still very effective.

  For example, now, Shulka's judgment is that Viktorovich's intelligence is almost inseparable, that is, the enemy army is actually insufficiently prepared and has insufficient troops. At this time, they just blocked the traffic arteries with a few anti-aircraft guns.

  In this case, you should attack quickly in multiple directions to make the enemy focus on one thing and lose another. Otherwise, once they gain a foothold or morale, it will be troublesome to deal with.

   Sure enough, under Shulka's strategy, the 82nd Infantry Regiment broke into the train station with only one charge and started street fighting with the enemy.

The first to rush into the train station was the 4th Infantry Battalion as the main assault battalion... There is no doubt that at this time the ground is muddy and it is difficult to maneuver, and at the same time the enemy is deploying defenses along the railways and roads, barbed wire, mines, roadblocks, and firepower. Stack on roads and railways.

  The amphibious landing ship is easy to push from non-road areas because of its lightness and flexibility. More importantly, it can also carry a considerable amount of ammunition to follow the troops forward, which can reduce the difficulty of repairing maintenance on muddy ground.

  After the troops rushed into the train station and started street fighting, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

   This is not only because of the large number of Soviet troops, but also because the vast majority of the 82nd Infantry Regiment were drawn from the Battle of Stalingrad, and street fighting is commonplace for them.

   On the contrary, the Romanian army and even the German anti-aircraft artillery unit may not know what street fighting is.

  However, at this moment, Shulka gave an unexpected order.

   "Send the boot camp!" Shulka said, then shook his head at Denisokov: "You go with them too!"

   "Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov answered, grabbed his rifle and joined the new barracks.

  Everyone, including the soldiers in the new barracks, knew that Shulka wanted to take this opportunity to give the new barracks a chance to exercise.

The issue is…

   "Isn't it too early to go into actual combat?" Mikhailvich walked up to Shulka who was holding up a telescope to observe with some worry.

   "There will always be a first time!" Shulka said: "It is better to consciously control exercise now than to suddenly appear!"

This is true. No one knows what will happen on the battlefield, and it is impossible for the new barracks to follow the second line all the time. Especially at this time, the task of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is still interspersed. Accident.

  On the battlefield, the recruit battalion is spreading out and approaching several buildings. The buildings are distributed on both sides of the railway, and a few abandoned and old carriages are scattered around. It is quiet everywhere, and the enemy seems to have withdrawn.

This is why Shulka arranged for the new barracks to attack in this direction. Compared with other positions, it is controllable, because the regimental artillery company has already aimed several artillery pieces at those carriages and buildings. Once there is enemy resistance, immediately It will suppress them, and at worst it will blow them up.

  In addition, Shulka also transferred more than a dozen snipers from the Fifth Infantry Battalion, and divided them into several groups to target those buildings. There was almost no danger and they were just training for the new barracks.

   Of course, no battlefield is free from danger.

  But it is because of the danger that it can play a better role in training... The battlefield is the best school, it will allow recruits to grow at a rocket-like speed.

   If you don't grow up, you will be "eliminated" by this school.

   "Shall we call Denisokov down?" asked Mikhailvich.

  As the deputy head of the regiment, he knew Denisokov's identity, and he also knew that the reason why the 82nd Infantry Regiment received so many "preferential treatment" was probably because of Denisokov.

   "Of course not!" Shulka replied: "He is a fighter, a soldier, he is no different from others, at least in my hands!"

  Hearing this, Mikhailvich said nothing more.

  Grigorovich yelled in a hoarse voice while waving his hands: "Spread out, stay in formation! Pay attention to concealment!"

  Under his command, the new barracks slowly moved towards several buildings, including female soldiers.

  It seems a bit weird, female soldiers go directly to the battlefield...Usually they are usually medical soldiers, clerks or other logistical units.

   But now, they are attacking with rifles like everyone else... In fact, Shulka has long known that Soviet female soldiers will appear on the battlefield. They are used as male soldiers, as well as snipers, pilots, etc.

   But seeing these slender and frail female soldiers on the battlefield with rifles is still a bit uncomfortable. Shulka even has the urge to organize them into the logistics force and put them on the second line.

But Shulka can't do this, because it is an order from the superiors to join female soldiers in the first-line army... If Shulka puts them in the second-line army, other troops will soon follow suit, and then the whole army will follow, this is In blatantly challenging the orders and systems of his superiors, this is not something Shulka can take responsibility for.

   With a "bang", a recruit fell to the ground, and Shulka heard a few exclamations, as if someone who was dreaming was suddenly awakened.

  The formation of the recruit battalion also obviously stagnated, and then one by one raised their guns to look for the target... This is a sign of insufficient training. At this time, they should lie down and find cover immediately.

   "Down! Down!" shouted Captain Grigovich.

  Before the recruits had time to react, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, and rows of bullets hit the opposite building. The soldiers in the recruit battalion were caught off guard, and several fell down in an instant.

   "Fire!" Shulka ordered.

  Following the whistling of shells, more than a dozen shells blasted the building into a ball of flames. At the same time, the snipers were desperately suppressing the enemy's firepower in the dark, finally giving the new barracks time to breathe.

   "Forward!" Captain Grigovich ordered loudly: "Occupy them!"
