"Hospitals and schools?" Golikov couldn't help but be stunned, remembering the German bombardment of these two places, so he asked: "What's the matter?" ”

"Comrade General!" Pozarisky replied: "Our regimental commander found out that the Mamayev Gang was in danger of being encircled, and in order to relieve the siege and relieve the pressure on the Mamayev Height, we decided to break into the interior of the Germans and occupy hospitals and schools to cut off the retreat of the German troops!" ”

"Break into the interior and occupy hospitals and schools?" Golikov was puzzled:

"How can you do that?"

"Sewers, Comrade General!" "We went from the sewer movement to the hospital, and we have managed to occupy the hospital, and then the school...... Now the Germans should be attacking them! ”

Golikov asked suspiciously: "Who is your regimental commander?" ”

"Major Mikhailvich, Comrade General!"

Golikov looked dazed, he had not heard the name.

Pozarisky then said: "You must know our deputy commander, his name is Shulka, 'Breakout Hero' Shulka!" ”

Golikov's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Shulka, you mean that he led the troops to occupy the hospital?" ”

It was not surprising that Golikov did not know that Shulka was in Stalingrad, as he had previously led the 62nd Army in defense and operations outside the city, while the 82nd Infantry Regiment operated in a tractor factory, and the two had little contact.

"Yes!" Pozarisky replied: "These are all plans of Comrade Shulka, I hope ...... Nothing went wrong with this, Comrade General! ”

"No, you didn't do anything wrong!" Golikov replied, and then ordered the surroundings: "Put down the gun, your own people!" ”

After a pause, Golikov asked Pozarisky: "How can I get in touch with them!" ”

"Telephone!" Pozarisky replied: "We took the telephone line!" ”

Thus, the 82nd Infantry Regiment was able to find an organization at this time.

"Comrade Shulka!" Golikov asked on the phone: "What is the situation now?" ”

Shulka asked, puzzled, "Who are you?" And what about Pozarisky? ”

"He's next to me!" Golikov said: "I am the commander of the 62nd Army, Golikov, I just learned about your situation!" ”

Shulka looked at Mikhailvich, who was busy directing the troops, motioned for him to come over, and whispered: "Comrade Golikov, commander of the army group, phone!" ”

Mikhailvich's eyes lit up immediately, which meant that the 82nd Infantry Regiment could be integrated into the army group and fight together, and at the right time.

"Comrade Golikov!" Shulka reported: "We have occupied the main building of the hospital and the school, and the Germans are gathering forces to lay siege to us, but rest assured, we will hold it!" ”

"You guys are doing well, Comrade Shulka!" Golikov's tone could hardly contain his excitement: "To be honest, it surprised me! You are the real heroes! ”

Golikov is telling the truth.

In fact, at this moment, Golikov was even more ashamed, because not so long ago, as the commander of the army group and also the commander-in-chief of Stalingrad, he was helpless against the enemy's attack, and not only that, but he also lost confidence in the defense and only thought about retreating.

The reason was that he believed that it was a battle that was simply impossible to win.

But now, after learning that Shulka and others raided hospitals and schools and succeeded, hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

At the same time, Golikov also felt ashamed, because a deputy regiment commander and a captain only commanded a force of more than 1,000 people to defeat the German army, and he commanded hundreds of thousands of people in a group army but was defeated by the German army and even lost confidence.

"Comrade Shulka!" Golikov asked: "How do you want us to cooperate with you?" ”

"Don't turn on those machines!" "I mean the drainage system of the factory, otherwise our retreat and supply lines would have been cut off!" Shulka said. ”

Golikov laughed: "Of course, Comrade Shulka! I'm not a fool, if anyone wants to turn on those machines, I won't hesitate to shoot him! ”

As he spoke, Golikov turned his gaze to Lemonkov.

Lemonkov shuddered, and immediately became half a head shorter.

Pozarisky whispered next to him: "I said, Comrade Director, we are not what you think!" ”

"You told me it was 'Breakout Hero' Shulka who made you do this, and it wouldn't have been so much of a problem!" Lemonkov complained.

"You've actually seen him!" Pozarisky said.

"I've seen him?" Lemonkov was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and denied: "No, if I had seen him, I would definitely recognize him!" ”

Pozarisky shrugged his shoulders in frustration, and then fell silent.

On the contrary, Lermonkov could not suppress his curiosity and asked: "When have I met him?" ”

"You forgot? He handed you a cigarette! Pozarisky said: "Then order me to put the gun on your head!" ”

Lemonkov opened his mouth wide for a while, and he couldn't close it for a long time: "You mean...... That hateful and uncultured guy is Shulka? ”

"Hey, be careful, Comrade Director!" Pozarisky reminded: "He is our deputy commander, and at the same time a 'breakout hero'!" ”

As soon as Pozarisky said this, Lemonkov shut up.

At this time, although Shulka was not trusted by the top of the Soviet army, his reputation among the people was still quite good.

In fact, Shulka's reputation among the people can no longer be described as "good", and his position in the hearts of the people is almost unshakable, after all, it was Shulka won one victory after another, which is one of the reasons why the Soviet military top brass did not dare to act rashly although they were suspicious of Shulka.

"Any other requests, Comrade Shulka?" Golikov asked.

"Don't let them take the Mamayev Gang, Comrade General!" Shulka said: "Otherwise, we will be in a situation where we are attacked on both sides!" ”

"That's what I thought, too!" Golikov agrees.

"Plus, I think we can make the most of the sewers to fight the enemy!" Shulka said: "This will make the enemy unguardable!" ”

"Drawing ...... Sewer"

"We left it in the command of the tractor plant!" Shulka said, "There are maps of other buildings!" ”

"Well done!" Golikov praised: "This is important to us! ”

After putting down the phone, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If the 82nd Infantry Regiment was alone before this, it has now become a part of the Soviet Army.

Shulka, on the other hand, believes that he has achieved his initial strategic goal, which is to awaken the confidence of others.

At least for Golikov.
