Chapter 46 Cossacks
Under normal circumstances, soldiers do not march at night.
This is because marching in the dark in the swamp is quite dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall behind and have an accident... As I said before, there are mud "traps" everywhere in the swamp. People can be easily rescued by removing the rope. But if there is no one, you have to wait to die.
So this world is sometimes very strange, only a rope is missing, which is the difference between life and death.
Aiming at this point, the Soviet soldiers even joked:
Kuzia is the squad leader of the third squad, a Cossack, and the soldiers usually call him a Cossack.
In fact, most of the third class are Cossacks.
Speaking of Cossacks, it is easy to think of Cossack cavalry. But the fact that the Cossack cavalrymen were warriors in the past does not mean that the current Cossacks are the same.
They tend to be some unstable elements in the army, because they will band together to bully soldiers in other areas, steal things, play pranks, and make others feel bad just for fun.
Sometimes even Platoon Leader Pukarev had to turn a blind eye to what they were doing.
That evening, Shulka and Agata followed the troops together. When they turned a small hill, they suddenly saw the Cossack and his two subordinates struggling to pull a rope, and the other end was deep in the mud.
The Cossack even shouted: "Help, Reyldov has fallen into the 'trap'!"
Shuerka and Agata stepped forward to help without any explanation. When Shurka was covered in muddy water, he managed to pull the rope up, but found a big stone tied to the other end of the rope.
The Cossack and several subordinates laughed.
"Hero Shulka!" The Cossack taunted: "They all say you are smart, but you must not have thought of this!"
"Comrade Kuzia!" Shurka patted the muddy water on his body and stood up, saying, "You must have heard the story of the wolf coming!"
"No, I haven't heard of it!" The Cossack replied: "Do you want to tell us a story?"
Several Cossacks laughed again.
"No, I'm not interested in telling stories!" Shulka said: "I just want to say that you are like the children who shouted 'Wolf is coming' in that story, boring, childish, and stupid!"
This made the Cossack a little unhappy. He walked up to Shulka with a downcast face, and looked down at Shulka with provocative eyes. He was so close that Shulka could smell it. His bad breath smells.
"Are you talking about me, Shulka?" asked the Cossack.
"Yes, Kuzia!" Shulka met the Cossack's gaze and replied, "It's you and your subordinates."
If it was in the past, Shulka might have calmed down. After all, one thing more is worse than one thing less.
But after experiencing life and death on the battlefield, Shulka clearly felt the changes in himself... Things like this are just trivial things, and he didn't take the threat of the Cossacks seriously at all.
As soon as the Cossack waved his hand, his subordinates surrounded him.
As I said before, the Cossack cavalry are warriors, but the current Cossacks are not like this. They like to win with more.
But Shulka's subordinates were not to be outdone, and immediately stood behind Shulka.
If they were only Shurka's subordinates, the Cossacks would not back down, because the Cossacks were tall and strong, and they took advantage of every fight. This is why the Cossacks dared to challenge Shurka.
The problem is that not only his subordinates stood behind Shulka, but also many people voluntarily joined in, and instantly surrounded the Cossack group.
The Cossack saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to retreat but could not find the steps, so he froze there for a moment with an embarrassing expression on his face.
At this time, Major Gavrilov heard the news and returned from the front, and shouted at this side from a distance: "If you have the strength to fight, why don't you run around the swamp twice?"
The Cossack found an excuse, he shook his fist at Shulka and said: "You're lucky, Shulka!"
Then he led his subordinates in a desperate attempt to take the opportunity to leave.
But Major Gavrilov didn't give him this chance, the messenger whispered in his ear what happened just now.
After hearing this, Major Gavrilov's expression sank, he stepped forward and grabbed the Cossack by the collar, and said, "You bastard, if you let me know that you play this kind of trick again, I will kill you." tied to a rope and thrown into the swamp, understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Major!" replied the Cossack.
"Also, don't trouble Shulka!" Major Gavrilov pushed the Cossack to the ground in disdain, and shouted at a group of his subordinates: "Although we are troops, don't you all remember Shulka?" Erka saved all of us? Not only did you not thank him, but you wanted to do something to him? If you have the guts, just try, I will not stop you!"
Someone responded from the side: "Major, you saved them!"
"Oh, yes!" Major Gavrilov nodded and said, "I should come back later!"
There was a burst of laughter from the Soviet soldiers around, and the Cossacks were instantly isolated.
This can be said to be unexpected or expected.
Said it was unexpected, because Shulka didn't expect so many people to stand by him, and many of them even just met and couldn't even call their names.
It is expected, because the situation is completely different now:
Before it was a time of peace, soldiers in other regions could not unite like the Cossacks, so they could only be allowed to bully and dare not speak out, which allowed the small group of Cossacks to dominate the army.
But after the war broke out, it was different. Under the catalysis of the German army, all soldiers united for survival. This kind of unity can easily defeat a small group like the Cossacks, let alone a combat hero like Shulka. leadership.
Since then, the Cossacks have realized that the old days are gone forever, the rules are different, and the forces have been reshuffled. If you want to regain the dominance, you have to be brave and ruthless against the enemy on the battlefield instead of yourself. people.
"Shuerka!" Major Gavrilov said to Shurka with a straight face: "In the future, if you encounter such a situation, you should report it to me, understand?"
"But the major..." Shure wanted to protest, because although small reports are useful, they will be looked down upon by soldiers.
"No but!" Major Gavrilov said: "This is an order!"
"Yes, Major!" Shulka had to answer.
Then Major Gavrilov explained: "Do you know how dangerous it is to get injured in a place full of germs? And we are short of medicines! I will not take this risk, otherwise no one will take us from the next time." Brought out of the German encirclement!"
