"Are all the remnants of the soldiers in Buildings 7 and 12?" Major Mikhailvich asked.

"No, there are many buildings!" Andrianka replied, "But they are already contained, although I don't know which of them are enemies and which are my own." ”

Mikhailvich couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Andrianka's approach is clearly necessary and easy to do...... The total strength of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is only more than 1,000 people, and after several months of training, they are all familiar faces.

"You're doing the right thing, Comrade Andrianka!" Major Mikhailvich said: "We were lucky that we only lost two buildings. I mean, you managed to stop the enemy's plot before the situation deteriorated further! ”

But Shulka was not so optimistic, staring at the map without saying a word.

Seeing this, Major Mikhailvich couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Is there anything wrong, Comrade Shulka!" ”

"I don't think the focus is on the remnants or the Branfenburg troops anymore!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "The Germans have initially achieved their strategic objectives!" ”

"What does preliminary mean?" Major Mikhailvich asked.

"The preliminary meaning is that they are preparing for a daytime attack!" "Buildings 7 and 12 are almost in the middle of the hospital, although there are also buildings 9 and 3 in between," Shulka said. But if the Germans blew up Buildings 9 and 3 with bombers at dawn, the whole hospital would be split in two, and if there was a machine-gun blockade, we would even be able to split us in four along the aisle! ”

Hearing this, Major Mikhailvich understood, and he said in horror: "And then break each one? ”

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

This division would result in the isolation of communications, supplies, and reinforcements between the buildings, and the Germans would then be able to use Buildings 7 and 12 as bases to cover the German attacks on the other buildings.

"What should we do?" Andrianka had some remorse in his eyes, as if it was all due to his fault, including the soldiers who died in those two buildings.

Andrianka is not good at this, he is so emotional that he is easily affected by some unexpected events on the battlefield.

"It's not a big deal, Adrianka!" Shulka said, "Let's take them back!" ”

"Take it back?" "But the Germans have taken control of the buildings, and they have even learned our tactics!" ”

Andrianka refers to rope tactics.

It is not a difficult thing in the first place, you only need to tie explosives to a rope to give full play to the advantages of the high floors, and then blow it down layer by layer.

This tactic is almost insolvable for buildings with open, long corridors like hospitals and schools.

If the Germans had not infiltrated with the Brandenburg troops, they would not have been able to capture these two buildings so far.

"No, we can!" Shulka said: "Because we are in high places! ”

The Soviets were indeed on high ground, but the Germans did not realize it.

Perhaps because the Germans had already achieved their temporary goal, the Germans did not attack again.

Shulka was not in a hurry to act either, he was waiting for the moment of dawn, when it was about to dawn, and it would be the best time to attack.

While waiting, Shulka received a special phone call.

"Long time no see, Comrade Shulka!" A familiar voice came over the phone.

"Comrade Zhukov?" Shulka was a bit of a surprise.

"Yes!" Zhukov on the other end of the phone laughed: "Do you believe it? It's my honor to be my subordinate again! ”

"No, Comrade Zhukov, it's my pleasure!"

"I heard how many more victories you fought in Stalingrad?" Zhukov said: "Congratulations, Shulka! As long as you are there, you can always hear the news of victory! ”

"Should I go to Berlin then?"

Zhukov burst out laughing.

"Come on, Shulka!" Zhukov said: "If you have any ideas, let it go!" I believe you! ”

Shulka felt a pang of relief as soon as he put the phone down.

Before that, although he had gained Golikov's trust, he had not been sure what the Supreme High Command meant.

Now, like Zhukov, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Stalingrad and Southeastern Fronts, gave Shulka a reassurance.

In fact, Zhukov was already widening the way for Shulka before that.

He made a phone call to the command of the 62nd Army before calling Shulka.

"I want to know about the 82nd Infantry Regiment!" Zhukov said: "To be exact, it should be Shulka, do you know him?" ”

"Of course, Comrade Zhukov!" "He is fighting at the front, he is excellent, the defense of Stalingrad is proceeding in accordance with the plan, a large part of which was listened to on the advice of Comrade Shulka!" Golikov said. ”

Zhukov "um": "It's glad that you listened to Comrade Shulka's advice, although I don't know what those suggestions were, but I believe they are correct, understand?" I mean, no matter what advice he makes, even if you think it's incredible, don't give up easily! ”

"Yes, Comrade Zhukov!" Golikov replied.

Although these words were not actually binding, Golikov, as the commander of the 62nd Army, could still command as usual, and even refused to accept Shulka's proposal.

But as soon as Shulka's advice turned out to be right and Golikov did not accept it, then it was possible to disobey Zhukov's orders.

So in this turn, Shulka's voice rose in Stalingrad.

But then again, it's not much different than before.

Because Golkov had clearly recognized Shulka's abilities through the battles in the hospital and school, as well as the series of measures implemented in Stalingrad, Zhukov's words were just icing on the cake.

At this time, Shulka didn't care much about this, he looked at his watch, watched the hands beat little by little, and then ordered: "Attack!" ”

As several flares were fired into the air, gunfire and artillery immediately rang out.

Soviet soldiers rushed out of one building after another, and surrounded buildings No. 7 and No. 12, which were controlled by the Germans, in a straggler formation.

Flares soon came from upstairs, and the surroundings were illuminated in snow-white, and then fierce gunfire soon rang out.

A new scramble has begun.
