"Well done!" Major Mikhailvich walked up to Shulka and handed him a small pot of Votgar and said: "I mean what you said!" ”

This is a treasure, a little saved by the guards for Major Mikhailvich, so Shulka took it very carefully and returned it to Major Mikhailvich with some reluctance under the gaze of Major Mikhailvich.

"It's nothing, Comrade Major!" Shulka said: "I just told the truth! ”

"I don't know how to tell the truth!" Major Mikhailvich laughed: "Although it is true that they are just words, I can feel the change in their mental state!" ”

After thinking about it, Major Mikhailvich continued: "Maybe it's just because you said these words, Shulka! ”

Shulka understood what Major Mikhailvich meant.

Because Shulka had already managed to establish his prestige in the 82nd Infantry Regiment, what he said would always be believed and even taken as a motto.

"Sometimes I think, Comrade Shulka!" Major Mikhailvich said: "I should probably report to my superiors and make you the commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment!" ”

"Why?" Shulka couldn't help but be stunned.

"Because you are the soul of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, Shulka!" Major Mikhailvich stretched out his hands in the direction of the soldiers: "Can't you see? They love you! I'm serious, you should consider this suggestion! ”

"No, Comrade Mikhailvich!" Shulka refused without thinking about it: "I'm also serious, Comrade Mikhailvich, you are the commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment!" ”

Shulka didn't say this politely, but he really thought so.

Shulka likes the deputy position because it is not as stressful as the main position...... All documents and orders need to be in charge of the main position, and the deputy position, when you want to take care of it, you can take care of it, and when you don't want to take care of it, there is no big problem in letting go.

On the other hand, the actual command of the 82nd Infantry Regiment was actually already in Shulka's hands, and there was command without such cumbersome documents and forms...... It doesn't get much more perfect than that.

Mikhailvich stared at Shulka for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "I've never seen anyone like you, Shulka!" You seem to have been born for this war, and you never asked for anything. What created people like you? ”

Shulka just smiled and didn't answer.

Shulka didn't actually ask for anything, he wasn't that great.

But if a person comes to such a society and environment from modern times, then his idea is often very simple, that is, he hopes to survive and not be drowned in this vast river of history.

Or, it can also be said that Shulka is more likely to jump out of this circle and see the world from another level, so he is indifferent to some things that the world is competing for, such as fame and fortune.

In the end, a loaf of bread was not delivered until after 3 p.m., and I was told that there would be no more meals for the day.

The underlying meaning is to have a slice of bread a day and save a little food.

That night, Shulka experienced what it was like to be hungry.

In response to this situation, Golikov took a number of measures.

One of the most effective was the transfer of the inhabitants of Stalingrad to the east coast.

The main reason why these people were not transferred was that they needed to stay and work in Stalingrad.

There is a lot that the common people can do, not to mention the tractor factories, metallurgical plants, etc., these workers who produce weapons and equipment did not withdraw until the end, and many of them even directly became part of the army to fight with the Soviet army...... This is not surprising, since the workers are already undergoing basic military training.

Therefore, the tractor factory will have a situation where the tank is driven to the battlefield by workers as soon as it leaves the production line.

There are also food factories, such as bread factories and canneries.

This was also important for Stalingrad, the problem was that the raw materials for the production of bread and canned food could not be brought in, so there was no point in staying in Stalingrad.

In addition to the workers, many civilians were also responsible for building trenches, fortifications, or producing rifles and ammunition.

It can be said that the whole city of Stalingrad was mobilized, and no one could be idle in the face of war.

The 82nd Infantry Regiment was also given a two-day rest opportunity because of its meritorious service in winning the battle, and it was a great meritorious service.

If it had been before, there would have been no problem in keeping these civilians in Stalingrad.

Because they were all working to contribute to the defense of Stalingrad, and even to ensure the logistics of the Soviet army, these people only need to pick up a rifle when necessary.

But the war has developed to the present.

Under the blockade of the German army day and night, Stalingrad could no longer maintain the supply of such a large population.

Golikov then ordered a group of civilians to be sent to the east coast to relieve the pressure on Stalingrad's supplies.

There was no problem in transporting people from Stalingrad to the East Coast, as the ships arrived at Stalingrad with supplies and often returned empty.

The problem was the interception of German air power...... No one knows whether this trip will return safely to the east bank or be sunk in the Volga.

Another problem is desertion.

At this time, the situation in Stalingrad was worrying, and it was inevitable that soldiers would mix with the people and workers in the hope of fleeing to the east bank.

Perhaps because of the shortage of soldiers, the 82nd Infantry Regiment, which was resting, was transferred to the port that night to maintain order.

The so-called "maintenance of order" is actually the investigation of deserters.

As soon as Shulka and the others arrived at the port, they found that several people had been pulled out by the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then they were kneeling on the side of the road, and the soldiers stepped forward and pulled the trigger on their heads at close range......

They all used pistols, old revolvers, although they also had rifles in their hands.

At first, Shulka thought it was because the soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were armed with pistols, but later it became clear what was going on when a captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked the quartermaster to go to the warehouse to get a pistol.

"It is forbidden to execute with rifles!" The captain skillfully shouted to the soldiers: "Twelve pistols are assigned to each company, you can keep them and use them uniformly!" Do you understand? ”

"Why do you have to use a pistol?" Valery asked.

It would have been much easier to perform with a rifle in Valery's opinion, since it would be possible to move farther away from the target.

"You idiot!" The lieutenant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately responded with a scolding voice: "Don't you know that rifles can be used on the battlefield? ”

It turned out to be to save bullets.
