Chapter 173: New Mission
It took a few hours for the 333rd Regiment to exchange guards with reinforcements before withdrawing.
They were ordered to return to Moscow to recuperate.
There is nothing surprising about this, because as the instructor said, the 333rd Regiment was regarded as a force to stabilize the hearts of the people, and when there was no war, it had to do everything possible to find opportunities and even find excuses to publicize, so now the war is still a big victory...... Go back to Moscow and take another turn, that's of course.
It's just that what no one even knows about the political commissar and instructor of Fuming is that this time he was transferred back to Moscow not just for propaganda.
The reason was that the battle attracted the attention of the commander of the Western Front, General Zhukov.
"This is a very strange unit!" General Zhukov looked at the telegram and said to the staff officer: "They actually blocked the interspersed troops of one army of the enemy with one infantry regiment, and they only had about 20 tanks and dozens of anti-tank guns in their hands......
"Comrade General!" The staff officer looked at the document and added: "This unit has no regular establishment!" ”
"No regular staffing?" Zhukov felt more and more strange.
"Yes!" The staff officer replied: "They are a mixed unit composed of stragglers from the Brest Fortress, all the way to Kyiv, originally we thought that it was not strong in combat, and intended to use them as propaganda troops!" ”
"Obviously, your estimation of this force is wrong!" Zhukov said with some anger: "Until now, you still don't understand that whether a unit has combat effectiveness depends not on how well it is equipped and trained, but also on its growth and training...... Troops forged in battles of blood and fire have a true fighting power that will be feared by the enemy, while those that appear to be well-trained are often vulnerable! ”
After a pause, Zhukov said: "We need such troops, and you intend to use them for propaganda!" ”
What Zhukov did not make explicit is that a large number of well-trained Soviet troops but quickly collapsed, fled, and even surrendered as soon as they started fighting, and a large part of the reason was that most of the Soviet troops at this time were politically commanded military training, and the more rigorous the training before the war, the more likely it was to fight hard.
But of course, Zhukov did not dare to say that.
The 333rd Regiment set out at 8 o'clock that night because they had to wait for the sappers to repair the tunnel and open the railway...... When the roads are muddy, the railroad is the best means of transportation, otherwise even if you start a few hours earlier by car, you may have to go through a lot of twists and turns, such as carts, mud, and even landmines, to reach your destination, and it takes longer.
The train took only three hours, and the whole time was a break for the fighters, as they prepared bread, cigarettes and dry towels on the carriages.
Many people have the same idea as Shulka, and it would be nice to stay on such a train all the time, even if they are still wet.
The itinerary was still the same as that of the general, arriving in Moscow and walking out of the railway station, he got into the car, and the car obviously drove to the barracks, because the direction and route did not change.
But Shulka was called down by Major Gavrilov halfway through.
Major Gavrilov drove forward in a gas car and shouted: "Which car is Shulka in?" Where is the triple linked? ”
At this time, the Soviet troops did not have a radio station at the company level, so it was a lot of trouble to find a person like this...... In fact, even if it is equipped with a radio station, it is impossible to turn on at this time.
"Here, Comrade Major!" Shulka poked his head out of the back compartment in response.
"Get out of the car!" Major Gavrilov said: "We have a new mission! ”
"Yes, Comrade Major!"
Shulka then jumped out of the car just as it slowed down.
This was the norm in Soviet units, and drivers usually did not stop the car for the sake of someone, both on and off the car.
Therefore, every soldier has practiced good kung fu of climbing and jumping out of the car with one hand:
When you get into the car, you have to try to run as fast as the car, according to the principle of relativity, you and the car are stationary, and then you grab the rear baffle and kick your feet hard, and you go up.
At this time, you must be fast, accurate, steady, and clean and neat, otherwise there will be your feet hanging behind the car and pedaling hard but you can't get up, and the people in the car will make jokes and even time to open a gambling game, betting on when you fall down or when you can climb up.
It is relatively easy to get out of the car, you only need to follow the direction of the car and trot for a while to eliminate the inertia, no matter how bad it is, it is just a fall.
Shulka hadn't practiced yet, so he stumbled.
But no one laughed, but one of his subordinates cursed the driver on the carriage:
"Can't you just stop the car?!"
"Drive steady, you guy!"
……
This may be one of the benefits of being a hero.
Jumped into Major Gavrilov's car, which turned a corner and headed in the other direction in the darkness.
Shulka wanted to memorize the road signs at first, but soon lost his direction completely and stopped remembering them.
This era is really troublesome, there is a mobile phone in modern times, and if you get lost, as long as you open the map navigation, you can find it anywhere.
Major Gavrilov didn't say what the new mission was, and Shulka didn't ask, and here he learned the truth "talk less and do more", otherwise you will most likely regret it...... The danger in the rear is no less than that of the battlefield, and there is no reason for it, and sometimes the charges against you are simply beyond the scope of what you can imagine.
Then, the car stopped in front of a gray and tall building.
Shulka believed that the building should have been brick-red before this, and that many buildings in Moscow were brick-red, like Red Square, the Kremlin, etc., but in order to avoid the German bombing, they painted all the buildings gray.
Some of the round, pointed roofs were even covered with canvas so that they would not be recognized by the pilots at a glance as targets for bombing.
The same goes for this building, so Shulka immediately guessed that this might be an important unit.
What happened next quickly proved Shulka's idea.
As soon as they entered the door, Shulka and Major Gavrilov's guns were seized, and two guards searched them, even taking off their boots and untying their footcloths......
This embarrassed Shulka a bit, because it didn't smell good.
The guard looked at Shulka's face and comforted: "Don't be embarrassed, second lieutenant, you are already much better than others, such as the comrade major next to you!" ”
Shulka looked at Major Gavrilov suspiciously, and sure enough, he saw that the guard who was inspecting the major was blushing from holding his breath, while the major had a smug expression.
