BXBX NOVEL Chapter 560: Supplementary soldiers
Sokolov stared blankly at Shulka, and answered after a while: "You won, Comrade Captain! We obey your command!"
Shulka nodded in satisfaction, he knew Sokolov would make the right choice.
Because these deserters are normal people, normal people who want to live.
The reason why they are "fearless" like before is because they can't see any meaning and hope to live... If they are already living like this, there is nothing worse than this, so they don't need to be afraid anymore What.
So, if you want to restrain them and let them go back to the army and obey the military regulations, then you should give them hope, even if it is very remote.
"You made the right choice, Comrade Sokolov!" Shulka patted Sergeant Sokolov on the shoulder: "Now, you are their company commander!"
"Yes, Comrade Captain!" Sokolov stood up and answered, but he was stunned for a moment and then asked suspiciously: "Company commander? But there are only eleven of us!"
"There will be more soon!"
As he spoke, Shulka walked towards the headquarters without looking back.
Looking at Shulka's back, Sokolov asked Valery: "May I know who he is, Comrade Lieutenant?"
"I think you must have heard of 'Breakout Heroes'!" Valery replied.
"Of course!" Sokolov replied, and then looked at Valery with puzzled eyes.
Valery just raised his eyebrows and left Sokolov aside.
Sokolov was a little inexplicable. After a while, he suddenly understood something.
"Wait, you mean... he is the 'breakout hero'?" Sokolov's eyes widened: "Shouldn't he be in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade?"
This caused a burst of laughter from the soldiers.
"Your news is too late, Comrade Sergeant!" Valery said disdainfully: "He was our deputy commander a few months ago!"
After confirming this, Sokolov relaxed.
He glanced at the deserters, then lowered his voice and said, "Did you hear what they said? That's 'Breakout Hero'! I believe him, how about you?"
The others thought about it for a while, then nodded one after another.
"That's the decision!" Sokolov said: "This may be our last chance. If anyone wants to escape midway, I will not let him go!"
When Shulka returned to the headquarters, Mikhailvich looked at Shulka with a strange look.
"What's the matter?" Shulka asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Are there any problems?"
"What could be wrong?"
"Those..." Major Mikhailvich said: "Have you settled those deserters?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded.
"Tell me about how you arranged it?" Major Mikhailvich asked, "For example... Who will take care of them, and what tasks are they going to perform?"
"No one is watching them!" Shulka took out the pistol and put it back in the drawer while answering: "I have asked Valery to distribute equipment to them, and they will perform the same mission as us!"
"What? You're crazy Shulka!" Major Mikhailvich said, "Do you know what the consequences might be?"
"No, I don't know!" Shulka replied.
"You really didn't send anyone to watch them?"
"certainly!"
"They will still escape from here!" Major Mikhailvich was a little annoyed: "I thought you had a way to solve this problem, but now it seems that this is not the case! No, I have to take back their guns..."
"No, Comrade Mikhailvich!" Shulka stopped Mikhailvich, who was about to walk out of the headquarters with an armed belt: "We should trust them!"
"Believe them?" Major Mikhailvich said angrily: "Shuerka, you don't know who they are, and you don't know what state they are in. They can do anything, even put guns on them. Aim at your own people!"
"Of course I know!" Shulka replied, "but I'm sure they wouldn't do it. And if, I mean if... if you confiscated their guns and put someone on them, I can't guarantee Already!"
Major Mikhailvich stared at Shulka for a while, then put down his armed belt helplessly.
"I don't know what you're doing, Shulka!" Major Mikhailvich said, "I don't trust them, but I trust you!"
"Thank you, Comrade Mikhailevich!"
"Do you really know... if something goes wrong, what will we face?" Major Mikhailevich said: "The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a list, the list of deserters, they will create a list for everyone A file, and follow up irregularly until it is confirmed that they died on the battlefield!"
"I know!" Shulka said: "If they escape again, then we will be jointly and severally responsible!"
"And you still choose to do it!"
"Yes!"
Major Mikhailvich said nothing, patted Shulka on the shoulder and sat down.
But Shulka had something to say, he stepped forward and said: "Actually, I have something to discuss with you, Comrade Mikhailvich!"
Major Mikhailvich looked up at Shulka's expression, and asked cautiously: "It's not a good thing, is it?"
"Of course it's a good thing!" Shulka smiled: "As you know, our troops have suffered heavy losses. Up to now, there are only more than 600 people capable of fighting. The troops are seriously short of staff..."
"I have already reported this to my superiors!" Major Mikhailvich replied: "They said they would send troops to replenish our recruits!"
"I remember, you reported to your superior the day before yesterday!"
"What's the meaning?"
"I mean...the Germans hadn't imposed a total blockade on Stalingrad when the superiors promised to send us new recruits!"
Mikhailvich thought for a while, and soon understood what Shulka meant.
"You mean we don't have replacement soldiers?"
"If we are short of food, and each person can only get a small piece of bread every day, do you think we will get supplementary soldiers?" Shulka asked: "Besides, if there are reinforcements from the east bank, all the troops will be organized. Do you think they will be filled into our regiment?"
"you mean…"
"Replenish the deserters!" Shulka gave the answer: "Those deserters who will be shot!"
"No, that's impossible!" Mikhailevich jumped up from his chair. "I will never let you do that, Shulka! Never!"
