Chapter 485: the guard

Chapter 485 Guards

But this situation only lasted a few days.

The reason is that the Supreme Command set up the Stalingrad Front Army for the defense of Stalingrad... It is the 62nd, 63rd, and 64th Army Groups urgently transferred by the Supreme Commander's Headquarters, as well as the 21st Army Group Army of the Southwest Front Army as the backbone, and then incorporates other formed by the troops.

The Stalingrad Front is stationed in the north of Stalingrad, and the south is defended by the Southeastern Front, both of which are under the command of Lieutenant General Gordov.

Then, supplies from Stalingrad were sent to the front line continuously... But of course, these supplies were more like sent to the enemy, because they not only failed to stop the advance of the German army, but left a large amount of equipment and ammunition in one touch. to the enemy.

Compared to this, on the other hand, Shulka is even more troubled.

When Shulka was reviewing documents that day, Mikhailvich handed over a telegram, saying: "Look at this, Shulka, Major General Stepan ordered us to rush to Bryansk and return to the troops!"

Major General Stepan is the commander of the 27th Infantry Division, which is the superior of the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

"We still received this!" Before the two could figure out how to respond, Andrianka brought another telegram and said, "This is an order from the Stalingrad Front. They ordered us to go to the 62nd Army immediately. Group army report!"

"They are crazy!" Major Mikhailvich said: "Whose orders should we obey? We can't be divided into two people!"

Shulka knew that no matter which order was executed, it would not be a good thing for the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Rush to Bryansk... The newly formed Bryansk Front was ordered to attack the enemy in order to relieve the pressure on Stalingrad. The 82nd Infantry Regiment will become a veritable cannon fodder when it arrives.

Report to the 62nd Army, that is to be used as a field force outside the city.

No matter which one you choose, it means that the training of the 82nd Infantry Regiment for urban street warfare during this period has been wasted.

"We can do this!" Shulka said: "Tell the Bryansk Front Army that we have received orders from the Stalingrad side, and also tell the Stalingrad Front Army similar information!"

"This won't last long, Shulka!" Major Mikhailevich said: "They will finally decide where we should stay, or be transferred to Bryansk, or the 62nd Army!"

Shulka turned his gaze to Kalashnikov.

"What?" Kalashnikov did not understand what Shulka meant.

"It's up to you now, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Shulka said: "We need to stay in Stalingrad, in the city, at the tractor factory to be precise!"

"But, how can I do it?" Kalashnikov asked back: "You know, I don't have this power!"

"You really don't have this power!" Shulka said: "But if at this time, the tractor factory requires a force to protect the safety of the tractor factory from possible enemy spies or guerrilla attacks, I think it's a good idea. It's not difficult!"

Kalashnikov said "Oh", then nodded and said: "No problem, I think I should go see Comrade Sisoy!"

It is conceivable that Sisoy will not refuse. After all, the tractor factory and the scientific research personnel here need to increase the protection of troops... Originally, the entire tractor factory only had a guard battalion of more than 300 people. Usually these people are enough to protect the tractor factory, but now But it's left and right clumsy.

So the 82nd Infantry Regiment changed into a temporary guard force for the tractor factory.

Major Mikhailvich reported this information to the Bryansk and Stalingrad Fronts that night.

Both fronts had nothing to say about this.

On the one hand, as a front army, one more cannon fodder regiment and one less cannon fodder regiment is irrelevant. On the other hand, it is indeed a heavy responsibility to protect tractors and scientific research personnel, especially this tractor factory is also the main base for the production of T34 tanks.

Shulka thought that he would wait for the arrival of the German army in Stalingrad with the 82nd Infantry Regiment, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.

That night, a jeep stopped outside the Shulka dormitory with a "chuck", and a colonel jumped out of the jeep. He rushed to the door with the guards and slammed the door with a "bang bang".

Shulka, who was awakened, knew immediately that something had happened.

Because if it was someone from the tractor factory, no one would have the guts to knock on the door like this.

Opening the door, a colonel asked with a serious face: "Are you Shulka? 'Breakout hero' Shulka?"

"Yes!" Shulka replied.

"Come with me!" Saying that, the colonel turned and walked towards the jeep.

Seeing that Shuerka behind him didn't follow, he looked back suspiciously.

Shuerka spread his hands and said, "Sir, I'm still in my pajamas!"

This is Shulka's habit after he came to the tractor factory... The conditions in the tractor factory are much better than ever.

But the colonel obviously didn't care about that much, he replied: "Captain, even if you don't wear anything now, you should get in the car immediately, understand?"

"What's going on?" Mikhailvich and several guards hurried over.

"I am from the Stalingrad Front Command!" The colonel replied: "Lieutenant General Gordov needs Comrade Shulka to go to the headquarters!"

Major Mikhailvich couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "I have not received any orders, Comrade Colonel!"

"You can call to inquire!" The colonel said angrily, "But now, I must take him away!"

"No!" Major Mikhailvich said: "Comrade Colonel, I think you should only take people away after I ask you!"

"This is an order…"

"Comrade Colonel!" Major Mikhailevich interrupted him: "How do I know you are not a German spy?"

"Okay!" The colonel glared at Major Mikhailvich angrily, then took out his ID from his pocket and handed it over: "This is my military officer ID!"

Major Mikhailvich took the certificate, opened it, looked at it, and said, "It doesn't mean anything. I stayed with the Germans. They can easily forge such a certificate, and no one can tell the real one." Fake!"

This is true. The Soviet military ID card is so rough that the real one looks fake, and the fake one looks more real than the real one.

"So what do you want, Major?" The colonel asked dissatisfiedly: "Do you know what the consequences will be if the military situation is delayed?"

"I know!" Major Mikhailvich said, "but you have to know one thing, colonel! You are taking away our deputy commander. If you find out, none of us here will let you go." of!"

The colonel looked around, and at some point the officers and soldiers of the 82nd Infantry Regiment had surrounded them, and quite a few of them had even loaded their bullets and lightly pulled the trigger with their fingers.
