The next day, Shulka found that the reorganization of the troops was only a good wish for the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Although the 82nd Infantry Regiment is a regiment, the total strength is only more than 1,000 people, and some of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

"How can we have such soldiers?" Shulka asked.

Among them, at least more than 100 soldiers are in their fifties, and soldiers of this age can only exist in non-combat units in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, such as Uncle Alek, who works as a driver.

But in the 82nd Infantry Regiment it was a combat unit.

Others have been injured.

Originally, it was nothing to return to the army after being wounded, and there were many cases of the troops returning to the army after being wounded, but Shulka looked at the file and found that most of the injuries would affect the battle.

For example, a limp with a leg injury affects walking, and another example is that there is only one eye left, and there is a broken finger...... Shulka believes that part of the broken fingers was intentional.

As mentioned before, some soldiers would stick their hands out of the trenches out of fear during battle, and the German soldiers were happy to help break a few of their fingers with bullets.

After the finger was broken, they couldn't pull the trigger, so they thought they could escape the war.

But unfortunately, they were thrown into the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

"You know!" The regiment commander shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "We are such a unit, and the superiors have no hope for our combat effectiveness." I don't know what tasks we will perform in the future, but ...... If it's just a charge, then even if you can't pull the trigger, it's so-called! ”

Shulka's heart sank.

After a moment of silence, Shulka asked, "Can we recruit freely?" I mean, did our superiors allow us to recruit new soldiers? ”

"Of course, of course!"

"So what's the problem?"

"We need to be able to summon it!" The regimental commander replied: "No one will want to be included in the 82nd Infantry Regiment, and ...... We also don't have that much food, weapons and equipment! Shall we let them in and go hungry? ”

So Shulka understood.

The important thing is that the superiors gave the 82nd Infantry Regiment too little supplies.

Shulka wanted to find out more about the situation, so he called the soldiers to review it.

THE REAL SITUATION WAS EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT WAS DESCRIBED IN THE DOCUMENTS, IT WAS A GROUP OF SOLDIERS WHO COULD NOT EAT ENOUGH, THERE WERE NOT A FEW ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IN THE RIFLES, AND A FEW 82MM MORTARS WERE CONSIDERED HEAVY EQUIPMENT IN THE REGIMENT, AND EACH OF THEM HAD ONLY A DOZEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION.

"We are responsible for the security of Ulyupinsk!" The regiment commander said: "Every week there will be a battalion patrolling in Ulyupinsk, and the commander of the first battalion I think you have already seen it!" ”

"What?"

"Valery!" The head of the regiment explained: "He made a report to me and apologizes to you again! ”

Shulka let out an "oh", the same cap that had almost dragged him into the street for a spy and shot him.

He's actually a battalion commander?!

A battalion commander actually has no uniform!

This led Shulka to mistake them for militia.

Shulka smiled, dealt with the regiment commander a few words, and then went back to his own cabin to rest.

But Shulka is certainly not resting.

It's that he gives up, and as Andrianka says, it's an abandoned army that has no hope and just waits for the day to be sent to the battlefield and then die senselessly.

If there was any point, it was to consume some German ammunition, or step on a few mines, or to scout the enemy's firing position.

Shulka didn't understand why the Supreme Command would send him to this unit, after all, he was a morale-boosting "breakout hero", wasn't he? Their own presence was beneficial to the USSR and clearly beneficial to the war situation.

After thinking about it, Shulka thought that this was likely to be a serious miscalculation of the current situation by the High Command.

They probably thought that the situation was now very good, and that it would not take much time for the Soviet Union to drive the Germans out of the Soviet Union and achieve final victory. So they don't think there's a need for a small character like Shulka or a hero.

On the other hand, the Germans' propaganda against Shulka at the front, such as calling Shulka a hero and using Shulka to stir up contradictions within the Soviet army, had apparently made the High Command suspicious of Shulka.

So, Shulka was arranged here.

If one day, Shulka is killed as cannon fodder on the battlefield, then they can really rest assured.

Thinking of this, Shulka lying on the bed could only let out a wry smile, so it seemed that the problem would be much more serious than he had imagined.

Manstein's distraction tactic could be considered a success, at least Shulka's current situation was what he wanted.

There were several knocks at the door, followed by Andrianka's voice: "May I talk to you, Comrade Shulka?" ”

"Of course!" Shulka sat up from the bed and opened the door.

Andrianka took a chair and sat down, and said, "It's desperate, isn't it?" ”

"You mean the troops?" Shulka couldn't bear to lie to Andrianka, he nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”

"I know!" Andrianka nodded: "I've never had hope, but...... Comrade Mikhailvich never gave up! ”

Mikhailvich was the head of the regiment.

Shulka let out an "oh" and didn't take it too seriously.

It is not a question of giving up or not giving up, but the superiors have characterized this unit from the very beginning.

The historical Bryansk Front was also hopeless, because soon this reconstituted Front would again be abolished due to heavy losses on the battlefield, and then re-formed.

It's just that when it is formed again, I don't know how many people will still be alive.

"Comrade Mikhailvich is a survivor of the original troops!" Andrianka handed Shulka a cigarette and said, "After he was wounded, he was hidden in the barn by several farmers, and we didn't find him until we called back in a month!" ”

"He's strong!" Shulka said.

He knew this feeling, and lived a sneaky life behind enemy lines for about half a year...... Although this is nothing physically, it is a huge psychological torment.

"Yes!" "That's why he was promoted to major and became the commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment," Andrianka said. He never gave up, and he still does! ”

"What do you want to say? Comrade Andrianka? Shulka asked.

Andrianka was silent for a moment and said: "He has great hopes for you, Comrade Shulka! I mean, Comrade Mikhailvich is almost unable to hold on, and he hopes that your arrival will change! Hope you can find a way to change! ”
