Chapter 564: promise
Shuerka knows what this look means... It can be said that the Fifth Infantry Company was formed by Shurka against all opinions, especially Shurka promised to treat the Fifth Infantry Company as an ordinary army.
To be honest, this point is a bit unfair to other troops. How can soldiers who have been deserters and made mistakes be on an equal footing with other troops? If this is the case, should others also have a chance to be a deserter? !
So the officers complained about Shulka's approach, and Valery was the one who opposed it most strongly.
It's just because Shulka is highly respected in the army, so they dare not say anything.
Now, because the superior has this order, that is, let the fifth infantry company be used as cannon fodder at the forefront... Agree or disagree, in the end it depends on Shulka's opinion.
After thinking for a while, Shulka nodded and replied: "No problem, assign tasks as you want!"
After Shulka said this, all the officers breathed a sigh of relief.
The big rock hanging in Valery's heart was finally let go.
Valery thought to himself, it turned out that what Shulka said before treating the Fifth Infantry Company like an ordinary unit was bluffing, or he was deceiving the Fifth Infantry Company to let them perform well on the battlefield, otherwise they would have It shouldn't be so straightforward.
At the same time, Valery felt a burst of relief.
Because he can finally avoid the thankless job of commanding the Fifth Infantry Company... he can't interfere too much, these guys are disobedient, and they will be lynched if they don't report something. This has already affected the prestige of the battalion commander Valery.
But what the officers didn't know was that Shulka had a mind of his own.
"I have no opinion on how to arrange the mission!" Shulka cast his eyes on Mikhailvich and asked, "But I hope this battle will be under my command!"
"No problem!" Mikhailvich nodded without thinking.
In fact, even if Shulka didn't ask for it, the command power is still in his hands.
"Comrade Captain!" After the meeting, Valle stopped Shulka with embarrassment: "I... have a request!"
"Do you want me to inform the Fifth Infantry Company of the meeting decision and the deployment plan?"
"Yes, Comrade Captain!" Valery said, "You seem to know everything!"
This is actually not difficult to guess.
This is related to the issue of Shulka's commitment to the Fifth Infantry Company. At the same time, Valery can't restrain this "deserter company", so there may be conflicts with the Fifth Infantry Company when "breaking the promise". And Valery was caught between the Fifth Infantry Company and Shulka.
"This is your duty, Comrade Valery!" Shulka said: "Don't you need to worry about issuing orders to your subordinates?"
"I'm not worried about this, Comrade Captain!" Valery replied with some helplessness: "If they are really ordinary troops, if they don't obey the order, I can order them to be arrested and sent to a military court...but they don't worry about this at all. , and don’t pay attention to this set! At the same time, your order is not to interfere with their management too much..."
"Just treat it like an ordinary army, Comrade Valery!" Shulka interrupted Valery: "I have told you this more than once, they are an ordinary army!"
"Yes, Comrade Captain!" Valery straightened up and left.
It’s not actually Valery’s fault, he’s never dealt with such a thing, so he’s a bit in a dilemma.
As a result, Valerie, who was not good at words, of course couldn't handle it well.
This is what Shulka expected.
In fact, the Soviets are not "not good at words", but if they disagree on one thing, they don't like to argue, they prefer to use their fists to resolve.
This incident was no exception. When Sokolov heard the task distribution plan at the headquarters, he couldn't help being furious. Not a messy master, although there are many guards around him who can easily stop Sokolov, Valery chose to accept Sokolov's challenge with bare hands.
A guard saw that the situation was not good and immediately ran to the regiment to report to Shulka.
Shuerka simply replied: "I see!"
This made Major Mikhailvich a little confused.
"Shouldn't you deal with this matter?" Major Mikhailevich asked.
"Not yet!" Shulka said: "You can wait!"
"Wait?" Major Mikhailvich looked at Shulka suspiciously.
"Yes, I'll take care of it, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied.
"Okay!" Major Mikhailvich nodded: "I shouldn't interfere, should I? Do you know what will happen next?"
"Yes, of course!"
Then Major Mikhailevich said no more.
Then, the influence quickly spread.
The news reached the Fifth Infantry Company, and the Fifth Infantry Company flocked to the battalion headquarters in fury. found the scene.
As soon as Shulka appeared, the scene fell silent.
This is not only because Shurka is the only commander who can convince both sides, but also because Shurka is the one who made a promise to the Fifth Infantry Company. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Company hope that Shurka can give them a Say it or let them call the shots.
Shulka asked Valery and Sokolov to be dragged out of the headquarters, and asked, "Can you tell me who won the battle?"
The two seem to be evenly matched, because they both have bruised noses and swollen faces.
"Comrade Shulka!" Sokolov said angrily, "I was going to find you. You promised to treat us as ordinary troops, but Comrade Battalion Commander didn't think so..."
"I agree!" Shulka interrupted Sokolov.
"What?" Sokolov couldn't believe it, and then a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "But Comrade Shulka, this is obviously not a normal combat mission..."
"Then what kind of task do you think is a normal task?" Shulka asked back.
"This is sending us up to die!" Sokolov objected: "We are still a 'punishment battalion', aren't we? Our role is to consume enemy bullets and shells, isn't it? I believe you, My soldiers believed in you too, but you betrayed us!"
"You think so?" Shulka asked back.
Before Sokolov could answer, Shulka turned to the soldiers of the 5th Infantry Company and asked loudly: "You think so too? Do you think the mission tomorrow morning is a death mission? Think you are still a 'punishment battalion'? Think I violated the law? promise?"
