While Major Gavrilov and the commissar were busy organizing other units and assigning tasks, Shulka sat next to Pukarev with two gas masks.

"Comrade Shulka!" Pukarev asked: "Any instructions?" ”

Shulka couldn't help but be stunned, he obviously felt that Pukarev's attitude was different from before.

"That's right, Comrade Tuas!" Shulka handed Pukarev a gas mask: "We're going to give everyone a gas mask and make sure they all use it!" ”

Pukarev took the gas mask and looked at it, and replied: "We will all use it, unless you can't!" ”

"Do you have any problem with me, Comrade Tuas?" Shulka asked, confused.

"No, how dare I?" Pukarev met Shulka's gaze: "You don't seem to understand a thing, Shulka...... At this time, I mean, we're all going to die sooner or later, so I'm not afraid of anyone making a small report! Come on, Shulka, I don't want to use this damn shit! ”

With that, Pukarev shoved the gas mask back into Shulka's arms and walked to the other side.

"A little report?" Shulka sounded a little inexplicable, and then he quickly understood that Pukarev had misunderstood.

"You think I'm making a small report?" Shulka spread his hands.

Without raising his eyes, Pukarev asked, "Isn't it?" Tell me, what do you use as an excuse? You bastard! ”

"That's right, Comrade Tuas!" Shulka said: "I did type a 'small report', but it was ......"

Shulka took out a map from his pocket, spread it out and walked up to Pukarev, handed it over and pointed to the Holm Rope Bridge and said: "My 'little report' made the Major decide to let our platoon seize the Holm Rope Bridge!" ”

Pukarev looked up in surprise and looked at Shulka in disbelief.

"What do you say? Capture the Holm Rope Bridge? We platoon? It can't be ......"

At this time, Major Gavrilov came back and asked: "Shulka, you have already told Comrade Pukarev about the task, right?" ”

"Yes!" Shulka said: "But Comrade Tuas does not believe it! ”

Major Gavrilov laughed: "Yes, of course, I didn't believe it before that!" But ......"

Major Gavrilov patted Pukarev on the shoulder: "You have a very smart subordinate, Comrade Pukarev, whose plan may have saved the lives of all of us!" So, these are all true! ”

Then Major Gavrilov looked at his watch and raised his head at Shulkayan, and said: "This part will be handed over to you, time is pressing, we must arrange the rest of the troops!" ”

"Yes, Major!" Shulka replied.

After being stunned for a long time, Pukarev said: "So, I misunderstood you?" ”

Shulka shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Comrade Tuska, like you said, I won't survive anyway, do you think I'll be stupid enough to make a small report at this time?" Or is it aimed at you? ”

"I knew that, Shulka!" Pukarev immediately became happy, he jumped up and punched Shulka hard, grabbed Shulka's head and shook it a few times: "If you dare to hit my little report, I will twist your head off your neck!" ”

Shulka, who was dizzy from the shock, couldn't help but curse in his heart...... This is how the Soviets apologized.

Soon the whole platoon of twenty-seven people was gathered together, and each of them was first issued a PPD submachine gun...... Predictably, lurking on the opposite shore is more of a close combat, and it's still night, and submachine guns are definitely more useful than rifles.

In order to be able to cooperate with other troops, Shulka was given a waterproof watch in addition to a submachine gun.

For some reason, Shulka suddenly felt a sense of solidity in his heart after putting on the watch, and he finally found something certain.

Then the gas masks were handed out, and Shulka explained to them how to modify the gas masks and the whole plan.

After listening to this, everyone was stunned.

"Comrade squad leader!" The veteran asked, "This plan can't be you've come up with, right?" ”

"You guessed it!" Shulka replied: "But it's thanks to the thief!" ”

"Me?" Fovalkov looked up in confusion.

"The gas mask you threw over!" Shulka said: "It inspired me! ”

Fovalkov smiled awkwardly and replied: "Don't say it, Comrade squad leader." I was holding it just to make a joke, and you came up with such a plan......"

Everyone around laughed.

"God, so we still have hope of breaking through!"

"We might be able to get out alive!"

……

Although the result was not yet known, at least it was a feasible path, so the warriors instantly gained confidence, like a long drought of plants suddenly came to life with a good rain.

According to the plan, the first step was to dive into the river.

Shulka and Pukarev returned with their soldiers to the place where they were, packed their suits, and set off.

"You have a mission?" Agata asked.

"Yes!" Shulka replied as he put a waterproof bag on his backpack.

"What task?" Agata asked again.

"Fetch water!" Shulka raised his head at the bucket next to him.

"Don't try to lie to me!" "When no one gets water, they bring two bricks!" ”

"You'll find out soon!" Shulka picked up the bucket and walked out.

Agata shouted from behind him, "What about the 'last minute'?" ”

Shulka waved his hand back without looking back, and replied, "Maybe there won't be any 'last minute'!" ”

The first task is indeed to fetch water, but it is not to fetch water.

To be precise, they were mixed in the line to fetch water, close to the riverbank.

There are three groups in front and back, each batch has a squad, and the one in front is the real water unit, and the one in the back is the commando team...... As soon as the enemy's gunfire rang out, the commandos fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.

Needless to say, when the Germans were not paying attention, they slowly crawled to the bank and hid in the river.

Shulka was one of the first ones, and the process went very smoothly, with the caveat being able to disguise himself as a corpse while the searchlight came on.

It was not so easy to crawl past one bloody corpse after another, especially since some of the corpses had begun to emit a foul smell and there were many flies and mosquitoes flying around it.

Shulka almost threw up, but he held back, knowing that the slightest sound could provoke a flurry of enemy fire.

Shulka wanted to duck into the river as soon as possible, but when he dodged into the river, he realized that things were not as rosy as he thought...... The river water is a bit cold in the middle of the night, and he should have thought about keeping warm beforehand.
