Chapter 490 Union
Three days later, the German army finally reached the city of Stalingrad.
In fact, the defense of Stalingrad can be said to have started three days ago.
Because the German Air Force bombed Stalingrad more and more intensively.
Their goal was as Shulka guessed, focusing on the bombing of transportation supply lines and warehouses, and the bombing was very precise... They obviously knew in advance where the materials were stored.
Even the warehouse that was just built in the later period of Shulka is no exception.
It can be seen that the German spies can be said to be everywhere.
However, it should be said that the German bombing of the warehouse built by Shulka was a mistake...These materials are stored in the basement.
This is a kind of protection instead, because Shulka has a better excuse not to use these materials, but it is more troublesome to dig them out when using them.
"Shuerka!" Hisoi hurried over this day: "Pack up your things now and leave here with us!"
"Get out of here? Where?"
"Don't you know yet? We are going to retreat!" Sisoy said: "When you arrive in Znamensk, you can retreat with us, because you are our guard!"
This should be a "back door" opened by Sisoi to Shulka.
Because the German army has not yet begun to attack the city, Sisoy and other scientific researchers do not need guards at all to retreat.
After thinking for a while, Shulka replied: "No, Comrade Sisoy, I should stay here!"
"You're crazy, Shulka!" Hisoy looked around and said in a low voice, "This place will soon fall, and your value is far greater than that of a soldier, or a deputy commander. !"
So Shulka understood that Sisoi would take the initiative to open this "back door" to Shulka, not because of any personal friendship, but because of Shulka's fascinating ideas one after another.
"Is it because of your troops?" Hisoi asked.
After a pause, he compromised: "Okay, I promise you, I will try my best to transfer the 82nd Infantry Regiment to the east bank. Do you think this is okay?"
Shulka shook his head and replied: "Thank you, Comrade Sisoy! I still decided to stay!"
"Why?" Hisoey asked, "Give me a reason!"
"If you can avoid this **** war forever!" Shulka explained: "Of course I will choose to leave, but this is not the case! You can't 'protect' me and the 82nd Infantry Regiment like this forever Yes, Comrade Sissoy, we will be sent to battle one day."
Shulka was telling the truth, sooner rather than later.
If you leave with Sisuoyi now, what is the 82nd Infantry Regiment? Cannon fodder is still cannon fodder, and it would be too late to regret being sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder another day.
So, this is an opportunity for the 82nd Infantry Regiment, and it is also an opportunity for Shurka. Shurka will not give up easily for the sake of temporary safety, especially after making this series of preparations.
Hisoy knew that it was useless to persuade him, he nodded slowly, then took out his notebook and quickly wrote a line of numbers, tore it off and handed it up: "Then, Comrade Shulka, if you need anything, you must You want to contact me, understand?"
"Of course, thank you very much, Comrade Sissoy!"
Sisoi is leaving a way for Shulka, that is, if Shulka really can't hold on, Sisoi will find a way to use his relationship to transfer Shulka out of Stalingrad.
Although he knew that Sisoi did this partly because he was reluctant to part with Shulka's creativity, Shulka still felt warm in his heart.
But on the other hand, Shulka doesn't like this feeling very much... because it gives him a way out and prevents him from dying and reviving. This is a taboo on the battlefield.
Kalashnikov came up, he hugged Shulka and said: "I hope to stay, but..."
"I know!" said Shulka.
Kalashnikov certainly can't stay in Stalingrad...Scientific teams should be developing equipment instead of going to war with weapons.
"But I have confidence in you!" Kalashnikov laughed: "It's just a pity that I can't enjoy the glory of defeating the enemy with you!"
As they spoke, the two laughed.
After sending away the researchers, Mikhailvich asked, "So, what should we do now?"
Shulka understood what this meant.
Originally the 82nd Infantry Regiment was under the command of Sisoy, but now they have withdrawn, and have not confessed the ownership of the 82nd Infantry Regiment...The 82nd Infantry Regiment has become a free force.
This situation was originally impossible.
The problem is that the Soviet army is in chaos at this time, and no one cares whether an infantry regiment is commanded or has a mission.
Shulka only answered with one word: "Wait!"
"Wait?" Mikhailvich said worriedly, "The Germans will soon surround us!"
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka said: "I heard that the Germans have crossed Stalingrad to attack Ilovlia! At that time, as long as they go east to the Volga River, they will completely cut off The connection between the Stalingrad Front and Stalingrad!"
This is the consequence of the wrong deployment of troops by the Soviet army.
Stalingrad is located in a narrow channel that is only 100 kilometers wide. Although this makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack, the German army can also block this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack channel as long as it advances a certain distance north along this channel. Stalingrad was surrounded on three sides.
And the elite front army deployed by the Soviet army in the north... It can be said that it basically does not work.
If there is any effect, it is that in order to reduce the pressure on Stalingrad, they have to charge the German positions wave after wave.
Thus, the German army became the offensive side and turned into the defensive side. They could hide in the fortifications and mount machine guns to shoot wildly at the charging Soviet army.
And those elite Soviet soldiers fell meaninglessly under the bullets and shells flying all over the sky.
Shuerka couldn't change these, he could only say to Andrianka: "The focus is on street fighting, just like our training!"
"But we only have one regiment!" Andrianka said: "I mean we are trained for street fighting, the others are not!"
"Then maybe we should start now!" Shulka replied.
"Start? What to start?"
"The city is in chaos!" Shulka said: "There are still many troops like us, with no command and no mission. We should unite them!"
