"You think too highly of me, Comrade Andrianka!" Shulka silently lit the cigarette in his mouth.

"You're a 'breakout hero,' aren't you?" Andrianka had a pleading look on her face: "You have led the remnants of the defeated army to defeat the enemy again and again, and now you can do the same!" ”

"The problem is that we don't have a chance at all, Comrade Andrianka!"

"Chance, no, of course we have a chance!" Andrianka objected: "There will be a chance at any time!" ”

"So, what chance do we have?" Shulka disagreed.

Stunned, Andrianka replied, "We can train strictly, and then achieve a few victories on the battlefield, and then the superiors will change the image of us!" ”

"That's the point, how can we win a few battles?" Shulka said: "With these soldiers? And these equipment? Our rifles are even old and replaced! ”

Shulka was right, a considerable part of the equipment of the 82nd Infantry Regiment was repaired, and some of it was even picked up from the battlefield and needed to be repaired by itself.

This was due to the fact that a large number of Soviet troops were captured and lost a lot of equipment, and on the other hand, the Soviet military industry was retreating, and at the same time, a large number of Soviet troops were in service, and as a result, the supply of rifles was tight.

Of course, with the Soviet industry, if the production of rifles is not so strong that it cannot be equipped with rifles, the problem is that the Soviet army still needs to concentrate a large number of labor forces to produce aircraft, tanks, artillery, automobiles, and so on.

"These are not problems!" Andrianka said: "As long as we win a battle, a ...... We will be able to capture the enemy's equipment, and our superiors will increase our supplies, and then our situation will soon improve......"

"Comrade Andrianka!" Shulka interrupted him impatiently: "You know, this force is likely to be after a battle...... It doesn't exist! ”

Shulka is telling the truth.

If the equipment personnel are not able to do so, it means that the task it performs is fire reconnaissance rather than overcome.

To put it simply, it is cannon fodder, using people to test the enemy's fire point, stepping on mines, or wasting enemy ammunition without fire cover.

It's almost impossible to win in this situation, even if it's Shulka.

Andrianka was silent, and after a long while, he nodded and said heavily: "I understand, Comrade Shulka, excuse me!" ”

It can be seen that Andrianka is disappointed.

However, Shulka was helpless, because this is the case, and the force had almost been characterized.

As for his future, Shulka is not too worried.

The reason is just like what he analyzed before, a very important reason why the Supreme Command will throw the "breakout heroes" into this unit is that they are overconfident and think that the victory is already decided at this time, so they don't need talents like "breakout heroes".

But that's not the case.

When the High Command realizes this, the "breakout heroes" will be used again, that is, Shulka will be transferred to other units, and may even be promoted again.

There was only one danger in this, and that was that before that moment the 82nd Infantry Regiment was sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

However, this is likely to be small, because Shulka knows that the focus of the next battle will be Kharkov...... The self-confident Soviet army concentrated its forces in Kharkov to launch a fierce attack on the German army, but did not expect to be counter-surrounded by the German army and hit Stalingrad along this gap.

The campaign to attack Kharkov was fought by the Soviet South-Western Front and the Southern Front, and had nothing to do with the Bryansk Front, which was being reorganized.

In other words, all Shulka needs is patience.

Shulka did exactly that, after all, waiting in the 82nd Infantry Regiment was not a difficult task, all he had to do was to cooperate with Major Mikhailvich to do some routine training.

Two days later, a battalion returned to the troops.

As mentioned earlier, the 82nd Infantry Regiment sends a battalion to the city every week to take charge of law and order.

In fact, they were not only responsible for policing, but when they returned from the city, they would also bring back some food and drinks that the people had given to the soldiers...... The 82nd Infantry Regiment needed these supplies to sustain them, which gives an idea of how difficult they were.

Valery ran to the headquarters as soon as possible, he first saluted the regimental commander, and then stood in front of Shulka, who was reading the papers.

Andrianka was right, Major Mikhailvich never gave up training, or rather, he almost gave up before that, but Shulka's arrival gave him new hope.

Therefore, Major Mikhailvich discussed with Shulka almost every day how to organize the training of the troops and how to improve their combat effectiveness.

Shulka wanted to tell him that it was all in vain, that they didn't have the foundation to train, and that they didn't even need to train, because then there would be an order to charge all the men...... For charging at the enemy's guns and under the muzzle, there is almost no difference between good and bad quality.

"Is there something wrong, Comrade Valery!" Shulka shifted his gaze from the papers to Valery.

"Oh, yes, Comrade Deputy Commander!" Valery replied as he pulled out a bag of bread, dried fish, and Watga in a flask.

"What does that mean?" Shulka asked, confused.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Deputy Commander!" Valery smirked and replied, "This is what my mother specially asked me to bring to you, I hope you will take it!" ”

"Your mother?"

"Yes!" Valery replied: "I am a native of Ulyupinsk, and she told me to follow you well in the war against the enemy, and to obey your orders!" ”

Shulka was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it!" ”

"Thank you! Thank you, Comrade Shulka! Valery shook Shulka's hand excitedly and kept saying, "Thank you very much, you are so nice!" ”

Shulka then immediately discovered that there was more than one like Valery, as several more soldiers had brought some food for Shulka.

Soon, Shulka's desk was piled up with those gifts, and even a few letters.

But Shulka didn't open the letters.

"Why don't you take a look?" Andrianka asked, "Is it because of fear?" ”

Shulka did not answer.

"You've guessed what those letters would be, haven't you?" Andrianka said sarcastically: "Don't worry, you can look at the contents, they won't eat you!" No one is going to do anything to you, 'Breakout Hero'! ”
