"But we can't change that, Comrade Andrianka!" Major Mikhailvich was somewhat frustrated.

Indeed, they could not change it, for the humiliation of defeat was like a brand on this army, and it would remain with its name and soldier forever.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to get well equipped and "normal" tasks, which are decided by the High Command, and the 82nd Infantry Regiment is more like a puppet that cannot control itself...... The puppet, of course, could not change the informant's mind.

Unless......

"Unless we can win a battle!" Shulka said: "Or play an important role in the battle!" ”

Major Mikhailvich replied: "We all know this, Shulka, because it will restore our honor, but before that we will most likely be dead, and the troops will no longer exist!" ”

"Probably not!" Shulka replied.

"How can it not?" Andrianka spread his hands: "Can you win by charging at the enemy with a rifle and a grenade?" No, I don't think so! ”

Shulka didn't speak.

Major Mikhailvich and Andrianka thought that Shulka could do nothing about it, but it wasn't, Shulka just didn't know how to explain his thoughts.

Or it can be said that the idea is simply inexplicable and unexplainable, unless they are told that they can foresee the future and know what will happen in the future.

When Major Mikhailvich and Andrianka went out to train the troops, Shul made an excuse to dismiss the guards and called Kalashnikov.

The call was answered by a communicator, and in this day and age, even in a place like a tractor factory, it was impossible to make a phone call per office, especially since Kalashnikov was not an important person at this time.

After more than a minute, Kalashnikov picked up the phone, and when he heard Shulka's voice, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Shulka, I heard that you were promoted, how is it, how are you in the new unit?" ”

"Yes, I'm fine!" Shulka replied insincerely.

Kalashnikov wanted to say something, but Shulka interrupted him: "I don't have much time, Comrade Kalashnikov, I need your help with something!" ”

"Of course, Shulka!" Kalashnikov responded in one gulp.

"I'm now in the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the 27th Infantry Division of the 82nd Army!" Shulka said: "Do you remember this number? ”

"Well, yes, Comrade Shulka!" Kalashnikov replied.

"You find a way to transfer it to Stalingrad!"

"What?" Kalashnikov couldn't help but be stunned: "But how can I do it?" ”

"Think of a way, Kalashnikov!" "For example, your project needs people, you need workers, or something else! ”

"Okay, I'll try!" Kalashnikov replied: "But I can't guarantee that it will work!" ”

"Thank you, Comrade Kalashnikov!"

"you!" Kalashnikov scolded and snapped the phone.

That's what Shulka thinks.

Shulka considered that any time the 82nd Infantry Regiment went to the battlefield, he was afraid that it would not escape the fate of cannon fodder.

This is not only because of the equipment, but also because of the nature of the mission: if the superiors arrange for the 82nd Infantry to step on mines or use their lives to reconnoiter enemy fire, then what if Shulka is capable? In such a unit, Shulka's ideas simply did not have a chance to play.

Come to think of it, there is only one battlefield suitable for the 82nd Infantry Regiment...... Stalingrad.

Although the environment of the battlefield in Stalingrad is harsh, and it is said that the troops who walked into the meat grinder of Stalingrad in history rarely survived for three days.

But all without preparation.

If Shulka could lead the 82nd Infantry Regiment to make some preparations at Stalingrad, he might be able to play some unexpected role.

On the other side, Kalashnikov went directly to Sisoy.

"Comrade Sisoy!" Kalashnikov said straight to Sisoi: "Remember Comrade Shulka? ”

"Of course!" Sisoy replied.

"He's now the deputy commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment!"

"Oh, he deserves it!" Sisoi didn't know the actual situation, but still sighed: "Actually, I think he should have become a commander a long time ago!" ”

"I don't know why!" Kalashnikov said: "Shulka hopes that his troops will come to Stalingrad for training. Maybe it'...... He's more familiar with the training plant here or whatever, I don't know, is there anything you can do? ”

"Of course, Comrade Kalashnikov!" Sisoy didn't think about it, so he agreed: "It would be great if his troops could come here to train, I just have some questions to ask him!" ”

So, this matter was done smoothly.

After all, this is not a big deal for Sisoi, and it is not difficult for Sisoi to ask for the transfer of a troop, and it is normal for scientific research units to need to transfer some manpower.

Shulka did not tell Major Mikhailvich and Andrianka about this from beginning to end.

Only a few days later, they knew about it, and a phone call from the division headquarters came to the regimental headquarters with an order: "Assemble at the railway station immediately, the target is Stalingrad, there is a new mission!" ”

"Yes!" Major Mikhailvich put down the phone and couldn't help but wonder: "Stalingrad? ”

Andrianka shook her head helplessly and said, "Maybe they plan to treat us as workers, I heard that tanks, shells and other things are being mass-produced there!" ”

Major Mikhailvich nodded in agreement, but he could not think of any new tasks to go to Stalingrad.

Shulka also pretended not to know.

After all, who would have believed that a rear city like Stalingrad would soon become a battleground between Germany and the Soviet Union, or even a meat grinder with the highest number of casualties in history?

Ulyupinsk is not far from Stalingrad, more than three hundred kilometers, and it will be there in a few hours.

Kalashnikov had been waiting for Shulka at the station for a long time, and as soon as he saw Shulka, he greeted him warmly and gave him a hug.

To be honest, Shulka was not used to this, but the Soviets almost always met their friends, and Shulka did as the locals did.

"How?" Kalashnikov gave Shulka a punch and said: "Already a senior commander, I should salute you, comrade deputy commander!" ”

Shulka just raised his head at his own troops next to him: "Those are my soldiers!" ”

Kalashnikov was immediately stunned and looked at Shulka with disbelief.

It is clear that these soldiers are not of the same grade as the 1st Guards Tank Brigade.
