BXBX NOVEL Chapter 687: flying group
On the one hand, this is because the engineers need time to build the pontoon bridge, and on the other hand, it is to let Kamilov’s 115th regiment cross the river first... The 115th regiment is the main attacking force, and their attacking position is farther than the 82nd infantry regiment. It is natural to cross the river first.
Thus, when the 82nd Infantry Regiment crossed the river, there was almost no threat on the battlefield.
If there is any threat, it is the corpses, blood, and stumps on the ground... these are not a threat to most people, but they are not to the boot camp.
As the head of the regiment, Shulka's marching position is relatively backward, and sometimes he even stops to use the radio to communicate with other troops or superiors, so the marching speed is slower.
During this time, Shulka saw the new barracks on the march.
Although the recruits didn't say anything, when they saw the messy battlefield, there was still panic in their eyes, and some were overly excited... This is another extreme performance of recruits.
Shulka looked at Denisokov beside him, but his expression didn't change much.
This surprised Shulka.
Denisokov probably understood the meaning of Shulka's eyes, so he replied: "I have relevant training, Comrade Shulka!"
"Relevant training?" Shulka felt a little strange. If Denisokov hadn't fought in a war, how could he have relevant training?
"Yes!" Denisokov nodded helplessly: "I have been ordered to execute several prisoners..."
So Shulka understood that this should be the "special education" Viktorovich added to the child.
It seems sad to use the execution of prisoners as an education, but objectively speaking, it is very meaningful in the war years, because at least Denisokov will not be divided by dead bodies when facing these situations on the battlefield. Heart.
After crossing the river, the troops headed for the target 74-kilometer station.
Because the 74km station is close to the Jinguta station of the 115th Regiment, the 82nd Infantry Regiment almost followed behind the 115th Regiment. It went smoothly without encountering any obstacles, and even the German planes were bombing ahead. The 115th Regiment...Because of the poor visibility due to the light rain, there were not many German planes taking off, so they could only focus on attacking the front troops in order to slow down the advance speed of the Soviet army.
During the march, the headquarters will report the situation of the target to Shulka every half an hour, such as:
"A company of deserters has entered the target position, and the total enemy strength is estimated to be a battalion!"
"The enemy is building defenses along the railway lines and laying mines on the roads!"
…
This made Shulka feel a little strange, a secondary target, and it was an elite mechanized infantry regiment against an enemy battalion, and most of the enemy battalion was Romanian, how could it receive such attention?
Especially with the backward communication and intelligence system of the Soviet Army, how could it be possible to grasp the intelligence of the 74-kilometer railway station in a timely manner? !
Thinking about it, Shulka suddenly understood that all this was probably because of Denisokov beside him.
Shulka mistakenly thought that the secondary target of the 82nd Infantry Regiment's attack was that the brigade commander didn't like him, or that the brigade commander gave the credit to his direct troops. Now it seems that all of this is likely to be arranged by the political commissar …After all, in the combat system of the Soviet Army, the actual commander was actually a political commissar, even after the abolition of the political commissar system a few months later, it was mostly the case.
The ensuing battle situation verified Shulka's idea. When the 82nd Infantry Regiment approached the 74th kilometer railway station, Commissar Viktorovich called.
"How's the situation, Comrade Shulka?" Viktorovich asked.
"Everything is fine, Comrade Commissar!" Shulka replied.
"I transferred the 23rd Aviation Regiment from the Air Force to assist you in fighting!" Viktorovich said, "Major Andrei, the commander of the Air Force Regiment, will contact you in a few minutes!"
Shulka was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
An aviation regiment, and it was still when the planes were difficult to take off...the 115th regiment, which was the main attacking force, failed to receive air support, but the 82nd infantry regiment did.
But Shulka didn't say anything, answered "Yes" and hung up the phone.
"What's the situation?" Andrianka asked. He didn't realize that it was because of Denisokov, so he was very surprised by the decision of his superiors.
"Nothing!" Shulka frowned.
He does not want to take credit with other units, but he also does not want to be put in a vase... as it is now, other units are charging forward and the 82nd Infantry is almost behind.
It seems that a battle can be fought, but it is a reinforced regiment against a battalion of skirmishers of the enemy, and it is also coordinated by an aviation regiment.
But this is not something Shulka can refuse. It can even be said that this is a kind of kindness from Viktorovich. Shulka can't be so ignorant of flattery and turn against his superiors!
While talking, several Soviet planes passed overhead, and then the phone rang.
"Hello, Comrade Shulka!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little excited: "It's a pleasure to fight with you! I am the commander of the 23rd Aviation Regiment, Major Andrei!"
"Hello, Comrade Andrei!"
Shulka was a little surprised by Major Andrei's enthusiasm, and later learned that quite a few air force commanders knew that the reform of the aviation force was carried out under Shulka's suggestion.
At the same time, these reforms have won the hearts of the people, that is, the air force has been freed from the original shackles, and the combat effectiveness has been increased exponentially... This has almost saved their lives for the Air Force, so of course they will remember the favor of Shulka .
"Perhaps you have seen our planes fly over your head!" Major Andrei said: "So, how do you want us to cooperate with your troops?"
Shulka noticed that Andrei used "you" and asked about Shulka's battle plan... This is almost unimaginable in normal times, because even if they are of the same rank or even a low rank, the Air Force will be superior to others and not treat infantry as equals. thing.
After thinking for a while, Shulka replied: "If we need any help, it is reconnaissance, Comrade Andrei!"
"Scouting?" This answer surprised Andre.
If someone else answered this question, don't think about it, it must be bombing bunkers or permanent fortifications.
"Yes, reconnaissance!" Shulka replied: "In the current situation, it is obviously unrealistic for you to bomb fixed firepower points, and it will not have much effect. Therefore, I hope you can reconnaissance the enemies near the 74-kilometer station, such as artillery and reinforcements." , or enemy armor, etc.!"
"No problem!" Andrei agreed without thinking about it, and at the same time greatly agreed with Shulka's plan.
