Three days later, the Germans finally reached the city of Stalingrad.

In fact, the Battle of Stalingrad could have been fought three days earlier.

Because the Luftwaffe bombed Stalingrad more and more intensively.

Their target, as Shulkachai had suggested, was to concentrate on the bombardment of transport supply lines and warehouses, and the bombardment was very accurate...... They apparently knew in advance where the supplies were stored.

Even Shulka's warehouse, which had just been built in the later stages, was no exception.

From this, it can be seen that the spies of the German army can be said to be everywhere.

However, the bombing of the warehouses built by the Germans in Shulka should be said to be a misstep...... These materials are stored in basements, not because the buildings cannot be blown up, but because they are buried after the buildings are blown up and collapsed.

It's a form of protection, because Shulka has a better excuse not to use them, but to dig them up when they are used.

"Shulka!" On this day, Sisoi hurriedly came over: "Pack up your things immediately and leave here with us!" ”

"Get out of here? Where to? ”

"Don't you know? We're retreating! Sisoy said: "To Znamensk, you can retreat with us, because you are our guard!" ”

This should be a "back door" that Sisoy opened for Shulka.

Because now the Germans have not yet begun to attack the city, Sisoy and other scientific researchers do not need guards at all to retreat.

After thinking about it, Shulka replied: "No, Comrade Sisoy, I should stay here!" ”

"You're crazy, Shulka!" Sisoi looked around, lowered his voice and said, "This place will soon be lost, and you are worth far more than a soldier, or a deputy commander!" ”

So Shulka understood that Sisoy would take the initiative to open this "back door" to Shulka, not because of any personal relationship, but because of Shulka's fascinating ideas one after another.

"Is it because of your troops?" Sisoy asked.

After a pause, he compromised: "Okay, I promise you, I will try to transfer the 82nd Infantry Regiment to the east bank, do you think this is okay?" ”

Shulka shook his head and replied: "Thank you, Comrade Sisoy! I decided to stay anyway! ”

"Why?" Sisoi asked, "Give me a reason!" ”

"If you can avoid this damn war forever!" Shulka explained: "Then of course I would have chosen to leave, but it wasn't! You can't 'protect' me and the 82nd Infantry Regiment forever like you are now, Comrade Sisoy, and we will one day be sent into battle. ”

Shulka is telling the truth, and sooner rather than later.

If you leave with Sisoi now, then what is the 82nd Infantry Regiment? The cannon fodder regiment is still a cannon fodder regiment, and it will be regretted if it is sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder another day.

So, this is an opportunity for the 82nd Infantry Regiment, and it is also an opportunity for Shulka, who will not give up easily for the sake of temporary safety, especially after making this series of preparations.

Sisoi knew that it was useless to persuade him, he nodded slowly, then took out his notebook and quickly wrote a line of numbers, tore it off and handed it over: "Then, Comrade Shulka, if you need anything, you must contact me, understand?" ”

"Of course, thank you very much, Comrade Sisoy!"

Sisoi is leaving a way out for Shulka, that is, if Shulka really can't hold on, Sisoy will find a way to use his connections to transfer Shulka out of Stalingrad.

Although he knew that Sisoi did this partly because he was reluctant to Schulka's idea, Shulka still felt warm in his heart.

On the other hand, Shulka doesn't really like this feeling...... Because it gave him a way out, so that he could not die and come back to life, which is a taboo on the battlefield.

Kalashnikov walked up, hugged Shulka and said: "I wish I could stay, but ......"

"I know!" Shulka said.

Kalashnikov, of course, could not stay in Stalingrad...... The science team should develop equipment instead of going into battle with weapons.

"But I have faith in you!" Kalashnikov laughed: "It's just a pity that I can't enjoy the glory of defeating the enemy with you!" ”

The two of them laughed as they spoke.

After sending off the researchers, Mikhailvich asked: "So, what should we do now?" ”

Shulka understood what he meant.

Originally, the 82nd Infantry Regiment was under the command of Sisoi, but now they have withdrawn, and the 82nd Infantry Regiment has not been explained...... The 82nd Infantry Regiment became a free force.

This would not have been possible.

The problem is that the Soviet army was in chaos at this time, and no one would care if an infantry regiment was commanded or not.

Shulka replied with only one word: "Wait!" ”

"Wait?" Mikhailvich was a little worried: "The Germans will soon surround us!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka said: "I heard that the Germans have crossed Stalingrad to attack Ilovlya!" At that time, as long as they fight further east to the Volga, they will completely cut off the connection between the Stalingrad Front and Stalingrad! ”

This was the result of the Soviet Army's erroneous deployment of forces.

Stalingrad was located in a narrow passage only 100 kilometers wide, which made it easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Germans could also jam this difficult passage and trap Stalingrad on three sides as long as they advanced some distance north along the passage.

And the elite front deployed by the Soviet army in the north...... It can be said that it basically does not work.

If anything, it was to relieve the pressure on Stalingrad, which had to be charged at German positions in waves.

As a result, the Germans became attackers and defenders, and they could hide in the fortifications and fire wildly at the charging Soviets with machine guns.

And those elite Soviet soldiers, one after another, fell meaninglessly under the bullets and shells flying in the sky.

Shulka couldn't change that, he could only say to Andrianka: "The focus is on street fighting, like we trained!" ”

"But we only have one regiment!" "I mean, we're trained in street fighting, but the others aren't!" ”

"Then maybe we should start now!" Shulka replied.

"Start? What starts? ”

"There's chaos in the city!" Shulka said: "There are many units like us, which have no command and no task, and we should unite them!" ”
