Chapter 509 Sneak Attack
The time when Shulka and others returned to the hospital and school was not appropriate, because the German army was launching an offensive at that time.
So as soon as they got out of the sewer, they immediately entered the fiery battlefield. There were gunshots and explosions everywhere, as well as flames from incendiary bombs and screams from ignited enemies.
The other soldiers of the observation company are nothing, after all, they are combat personnel and have participated in at least one battle.
Akimovich's complexion changed a little.
Shuerka asked the correspondent to contact Andrianka before ordering the observation company to disperse the organizational defense.
The reason why we need to contact first and then organize defense is because it is easy to be misunderstood by our own people at night.
This is the most difficult thing, especially when the company just joined the battle and didn't know some code words used by the 82nd Infantry Regiment to communicate with each other... These code words are used to identify each other at night, and they were used as early as when the 82nd Infantry Regiment started training , and now they can respond without thinking.
"Lesson 2!" Shulka said: "You can't run around in night battles! Unless you are ordered by your superiors, don't leave the designated position easily!"
The officers and soldiers of the observation company only responded "Yes, Comrade Captain" and then fell silent. I don't know if it was because of fear or something else.
After a while, Akimovich asked, "May I know why, Captain?"
"Because of this!" Shulka said as he raised his gun and knocked down the two shadows with "bang bang".
"How do you know they are enemies?" Akimovich asked in surprise.
"I don't know!" Shulka replied: "So you can't leave the designated position easily, otherwise you will be the ones who are knocked down!"
"You mean to say..."
"Yes!" Shulka replied loudly: "Lesson 3, defeat all suspicious targets without any hesitation, even if you suspect they are your own!"
A flare hit, and Akimovich and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two shadows that fell just now were Germans.
"You are right, Comrade Shulka!" said Akimovich.
"There is no right or wrong, understand?" Shulka said, "Especially in night battles!"
Shuerka's words meant that even if the person who was killed was one of his own, don't feel guilty.
"Guilty psychology" is beneficial to a peaceful society, because only when you do something wrong and feel guilty will you want to make up or correct it, otherwise you will die without repentance.
But it is useless on the battlefield, and even has a negative effect.
Because once you feel guilty, you will be upset, and when it is almost impossible, you will want to save them to make up for this mistake, and even think that you should pay for their lives and so on.
This is obviously extremely stupid, and they actually did nothing wrong.
Akimovich nodded and replied: "I understand, Comrade Shulka! If the ones who fell were our own...they should die too, because they didn't follow the rules of night battles to hold their positions! People who don't obey the rules They should all die!"
Shulka nodded.
Akimovich did understand. Although this surprised Shulka, it was normal after thinking about it.
Although Akimovich, as a staff officer, doesn’t have much actual combat experience and is also scared pale by the tragic scene on the battlefield, he is used to viewing the sacrifices of soldiers on the battlefield from a “cold” perspective.
What the battlefield needs more is such "ruthlessness".
Then the soldiers of the observation company knew what to do. They raised their guns to aim, and all the black shadows that appeared in their sight were brought down one by one.
The battle ended in ten minutes.
Several soldiers wanted to go forward to clean the battlefield but were organized by Shulka.
"You should learn enough patience!" Shulka said: "Unless necessary, don't go out to clean the battlefield at any time during night battles!"
"I know why!" Akimovich interrupted: "There may still be many enemies hiding in the dark, and we cannot be sure that they are dead! Cleaning the battlefield at this time will cause unnecessary losses and even lead to melee! "
"That's right!" Shuerka praised: "You are a smart man, I believe you will soon learn how to deal with the enemy!"
Shulka put away his gun and walked to the headquarters in the basement together with Mikhailvich.
Akimovich followed, asking as he followed: "But, Comrade Shulka... I wonder how you know this? I mean the rules, you're teaching them to us, so yes Who taught you that?"
"After staying on the battlefield for a long time, you will naturally know this, Comrade Akimovich!" Shulka turned his head and replied: "If you live long enough!"
Mikhailvich laughed out loud.
Shulka is not telling the truth. Although many people have lived on the battlefield for a long time and have rich combat experience, they are unable to sort out these practical and effective "rules".
But of course, Shulka will not tell them the truth.
Walking into the headquarters, Andrianka breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are finally back!" Andrianka said: "The Germans launched two sneak attacks, I almost thought we would not be able to defend!"
"We suffered a loss?" Seeing Andrianka's situation, Shulka couldn't help frowning.
"Most of Building 7 and Building 12 were captured by the Germans!" Andrianka replied: "Only a small number of surviving soldiers continued to deal with the enemy. The situation is unknown!"
This is a flaw in the night battle in the building complex. If the enemy occupies the command post, it means that they have completely lost contact with it.
Then, how many people there are, where are they, etc., all of them are blinded.
"How did they capture these two buildings?" Mikhailvich asked suspiciously.
"Brandenburg squad!" Andrianka replied.
"They can't fool us!" said Major Mikhailevich.
To a certain extent, Major Mikhailvich was right, because as Shulka said before, in night battles, the Soviet army would shoot as soon as they saw a shadow, regardless of their own or the enemy... so Bo The Landenburg team couldn't play much role, because they didn't have a chance to perform at all.
Andrianka shook her head and replied: "They didn't sneak in at night, they did it during the day!"
"daytime?"
"Yes!" Andrianka replied: "After you left, several teams of ours were hunted down by the Germans..."
Then Shulka understood.
The Germans deliberately drove the remnants of the Soviet army into hospitals and schools, and among the remnants were people from the Brandenburg unit.
