USSR 1941

  Chapter 858 Instructor

   Shulka later talked to Sokolov about this issue.

Shulka said simply and straightforwardly: "This kind of thing must not continue anymore. Now it is because of the pressure of the war. The front line needs experienced and hard-working soldiers. But if it is too much, it will force the superiors to withdraw the battalion. , you should understand what the consequences will be, even I can't keep you!"

   "Understood, Comrade Shulka!" Sokolov nodded solemnly, and replied: "I promise that similar incidents will not happen again!"

   Obviously, this is not what Sokolov meant. He is a smart man and knows that doing so will push the Second Infantry Battalion and even Shulka into the abyss.

  That is to say, those actions were done privately by soldiers who had personal grievances against the instructor. Even Sokolov himself didn't know it before.

   Now that Sokolov knows, of course it is not allowed to continue.

  Sokolov's approach is very smart. He added this item to the lynching: If anyone attacks his comrades because of personal grievances, he will be punished as a traitor or a deserter.

   The reason why this command is "smart" is because of two points:

  One: Kirillovich hopes to abolish lynching, that is, to hold the power of the Second Infantry Battalion in the hands of the political commissar.

  But there is an order in the lynching that is beneficial to the instructor and even related to the instructor's life and death.

   So Kirillovich should abolish lynching or not?

  If it is abolished, can these desperadoes who came out of the punishment camp be controlled?

  In the end, Kirillovich chose to turn a blind eye and close one eye. Although he didn't say that lynching was allowed, he acquiesced.

   Another clever thing is that this order says "kill your comrades" instead of "kill your instructors".

  If it is "to the instructor", then the order will be spread quickly, and the second infantry battalion will be convicted of shooting black guns. It is impossible for the political commissar to ignore this matter.

  The phrase "to comrades in arms" not only allows soldiers to clearly understand the meaning, but also avoids this very well.

   It can also be seen from this that Sokolov is a rough and fine person. He not only knows how to fight, but also has his own way of managing troops.

Kirillovich can only acquiesce in this situation, and at the same time realizes that it is almost impossible to replace Shulka in the 82nd Infantry Regiment. After all, Shulka's prestige is based on Blood and life are spelled out, and the relationship with the soldiers is life-and-death dependence on the battlefield, blood licking from the edge of a knife, and stabbing at both ribs.

  If it had been a time of peace, then Kirillovich might still have the upper hand, but everyone knows that the war is far from over, so the "breakout hero" still has the final say.

   But it wasn't because of this that Shulka had the upper hand.

   In fact, Shulka has never paid too much attention to the affairs of these political commissars and instructors, because he knows that the focus now is still fighting.

  So, as long as you have free time, organize troop training, or it can also be said to be a rest, because each battalion is also taking this opportunity to replenish the source of troops and run-in with the recruits.

  As for Kirillovich and others, they can do whatever they want, as long as there is not too much interference with Shulka's training plan, let them go.

   At this time, a call was made to Shulka's headquarters, and the correspondent reported: "Comrade Shulka, it is Comrade Akadievich!"

  Akadyevich left without saying goodbye after completing the task of "instigating rebellion" against Paulus last time.

It is understandable about Shulka. You must know that Akadyevich is the director of the Sixth General Bureau. Paulus and the German Sixth Army surrendered. There are too many prisoners and too much information waiting for Akadyevich. Vich went to interrogate and collect, so of course he would fly to Stalingrad immediately.

   "I'm Shulka!" Shulka joked after answering the phone, "How about it, Comrade Akadyevich? You have enough information now!"

  Akadyevich complained on the phone: "There are too many, so much that I can't tell which ones are important and which ones are not! By the way, the British have done it..."

   Shulka let out an "oh".

  Of course he knows what "the British have done" means, that is, the British sent special forces to attack the German V1 missile research and development base.

   "What was the result?" Shulka asked.

  Akadyevich laughed loudly: "Need to say?"

  Akadyevich didn't say anything, because it was not safe to say it on the phone, and it would be even worse if the British knew about it.

  But even if Akadyevich didn't say anything, Shulka knew what the result would be. Of course, things would go as planned, and the British special forces were ambushed and returned home.

   "John may come to you!" said Akadyevich, "because I told him that you are responsible for this matter!"

   "What?" Shulka didn't expect Akadyevich to kick the ball to him like this.

   "You can handle him, can't you?" said Akadyevich.

   "Okay!" Shulka was a little helpless.

But think about it, Shulka thinks that even if Akadyevich didn't kick the "ball" to him, John would find him. After all, Shulka is a double agent they "bought", and they need Know some inside information or determine something.

   "Is that why you called me?" Shulka asked.

   This is just a trivial matter. Akadyevich only needs to let the staff inform him, and it doesn't even matter if he doesn't notify himself.

   "No!" Akadyevich replied: "I want to know... Are you interested in being an instructor?"

   "What do you mean?" Shulka asked back.

   "You know it!" Akadyevich explained: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs commands some internal affairs troops and border guards. Although they fought bravely, but..."

Needless to say, these troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are more guerrillas for internal affairs, and there is a gap in quality between them and regular combat troops. Especially on the battlefield, they often look domineering and do not cooperate with other troops. So the performance on the battlefield is not satisfactory.

Akadyevich added: "To be precise, it is you and your troops! The entire 82nd Infantry Regiment! Because we want to achieve results in a short period of time, we need a lot of instructors, experienced and excellent instructors! "

   "Can I refuse?" Shulka asked back.

   "No!" Akadyevich laughed: "This is what Comrade Beria meant!"

  Shuerka had guessed a long time ago, which of course meant what Beria meant.

  Because Akadyevich has no right to make this decision at all.
