This should be a normal judgment, and being surrounded means that the fortifications are useless, and at the same time there is no contact with the main forces and no logistical supplies at all.

However, when Major Gavrilov made a request to the command to retreat, it was refused.

"No, Comrade Major!" Colonel Ovich said: "Hold your ground, don't take a step back, we'll stop them!" ”

"He's lying!" Major Gavrilov told Commissar Fomin: "I don't know why the colonel did this, but I don't think he was telling the truth!" ”

"Take it easy, Major!" Commissar Fuming said: "Maybe the colonel can really hold off the attack of the Germans!" ”

"Listen to the sound of the cannons, Comrade Commissar!" Major Gavrilov raised his head to the rear: "They're going to be behind us, and the bombers are diving...... All this tells us that the encirclement of the Germans against us is shrinking! ”

Commissar Fomin was powerless to refute it, because the truth was indeed what Major Gavrilov said.

In fact, the political commissar of Fuming at this time was also suspicious, because the command of the command headquarters had always been a little abnormal...... For example, there was little artillery support for the 333rd Regiment.

However, Political Commissar Fuming is a political work cadre, and his task is to make the troops unswervingly carry out the orders of their superiors.

So, he forcibly suppressed his doubts and intuition.

"Trust the orders of your superiors, Comrade Gavrilov!" Commissar Fomin persuaded Major Gavrilov: "Maybe they have some plan, for example...... These retreats are only temporary, and our troops will soon launch a counteroffensive! ”

When Commissar Fomin said this, Major Gavrilov had nothing to say, so he could only wait for news in the bunker gradually.

From the perspective of the duties of the political commissar of Fuming, he chose to believe that there was no problem with the command of his superiors, after all, there was indeed the possibility that the political commissar of Fuming said, the superiors might have other plans, and if they did not obey the command, the whole plan would be disrupted.

But what Commissar Fuming didn't know was that sometimes the superiors were not what he thought.

Colonel Ovich actually had selfish intentions when he gave this order, and it is needless to say why this is to cover up his previous decision-making mistakes...... It's like lying, you need to use a hundred lies to round it up after telling a lie. In the same way, one mistake after another will be used to cover up one mistake after another.

However, this order was the most natural order of Colonel Ovich, for he gave the order to all his troops: "Do not step back, stop them!" Hold on until the last minute! ”

Although it was clear with a modicum of military common sense that the 333rd Regiment should be withdrawn, Colonel Ovich gave the same order as a matter of course.

Colonel Ovich, of course, did not think that his troops could really hold off the German attack, because in fact the pillboxes garrisoned by the 79th Division were being destroyed one by one, and even deserters appeared uncontrollably.

He also knew that if this continued, the 333rd Regiment would be surrounded.

But that's exactly what Colonel Ovie wanted...... The 333rd Regiment was wiped out by the hands of the Germans, so he made no mistake.

Not only was there no mistake, but Colonel Ovitch suddenly had an ingenious idea: after the 333rd Regiment was surrounded and annihilated, he could propose to his superiors the tactic of "wooden house camouflage".

Colonel Ovich, who was sweating profusely in a hurry just now, couldn't help but feel proud of his "idea".

If this tactic allowed the entire defensive line to effectively hold off the Germans' attack, then what was the loss of a 333rd regiment? What can the retreat of the 79th Division be counted?

Ovie will soon become a hero!

So without much thought, Colonel Ovich insisted on his order despite the persuasion of the staff officer: "Hold on, don't retreat!" Send all those cowards who escaped to the execution ground! ”

Shulka, who was stationed in the bunker, also felt that something was wrong, although his men didn't care, and they were even basking in the joy of the previous victories.

"Hey, take a look!" The actor showed the others his captured trophies, two packets of bloodstained German cigarettes: "I killed five Germans to find these ......"

"Forget it, Okunev!" The thief laughed: "I saw you groping in their pockets in a pile of corpses, did you kill them all?" ”

"Of course not!" The actor's old face turned red, but he forcibly explained: "But the Germans I killed are among them!" ”

"Do you know what I found?" The thief's face was full of disdain.

"What?" The actor was intrigued by the thief's success, but he still said pretendedly: "Forget it, Comrade Fovalkov, what could be more valuable than cigarettes?" ”

The thief did not speak, but took a lighter from his jacket pocket and raised it.

The actor's eyes are straight...... The lighter was very well made, with a short, wide, shiny silver shell engraved with an abstract eagle, and when the lid was opened, it made a "clang" sound, and a light wipe ignited a charming flame.

"How?" The thief proudly said: "I found this thing from the tank, I think it is a command vehicle, this thing is obviously only possible for officers with status!" ”

"Comrade Fovalkov!" The actor swallowed: "I can ...... Do you exchange cigarettes for cigarettes? ”

"Of course!" The thief replied, "But it's worth at least ten packs of German cigarettes!" ”

"No, it's too expensive!"

"Not even one less pack!"

……

While they were haggling, the veteran was a little impatient.

"Can't you just take something really useful?" The veteran lay on the ground resting, covering his entire face with his helmet, which made his voice a little strange.

"What is useful, Comrade Matvey?" The actor asked, "These are the things that are useful to me!" ”

The veteran took out a first-aid kit from his waist and said, "This can save your life at a critical moment, but not cigarettes, it will only make you die faster......"

"Do you hear the gunshots and the cannons?" Shulka interrupted the veteran.

While the veteran is right, a first aid kit is indeed a useful thing, but only for cigarettes and lighters.

Shulka thinks it's more important to know what's going on.

"Of course, Shulka!" The thief replied: "Hear it all the time, is there anything wrong with that?" ”

"They're behind us!" Shulka said: "That is, we are going to be surrounded!" ”

These words made everyone stunned on the spot, and the people in the bunker ...... To be exact, all the officers and men of the 333rd Regiment, who have broken out of the encirclement again and again, now have a psychological shadow over the word "surrounded".
