Thanks to the timely unloading of the cargo, the 333rd regiment reached the Crimea very smoothly.

If anything, it was Shulka seasickness...... Shulka can't be blamed for this, he has never been on such a boat.

In his impression, there should be a small compartment with a bed or something, although it is not very demanding, but there must be at least one seat in it for people to sit.

But it turned out that Shulka was overthinking.

The soldiers entered the bottom floor of the cabin, just like the smuggling scene in the movie, and they could smell a foul smell before they even walked inside.

At this time, Shulka regretted it a little.

"Are we really going to go inside?" Shulka asked.

"Don't you want to?" The subordinate looked at Shulka suspiciously.

Shulka realized that he was the company commander, and his subordinates were the only ones who looked at their own horses...... He doesn't seem to be used to the position now.

"Shulka!" Major Gavrilov, who was behind, commanded loudly: "Go ahead, you have blocked the cabin...... Hurry! ”

Yes, it is true that there is a need for hurry, because the safety of the entire fleet is at stake.

So Shulka could only bite the bullet and order: "Obey the order and go in!" ”

Shulka thought to himself, the corpse mountain and sea of blood on the battlefield have come by themselves, can they still be afraid of a cabin?

But soon Shulka realizes that he is wrong, this is a place even more terrible than the battlefield: dark, damp, the air mixed with all kinds of smells, seawater, feces, sweat, vomit......

The actor complained: "I can't stay here for a moment!" ”

"So what else can be done?" The veteran said: "Swim to the Crimea? That's 200 kilometers away! ”

"Can we get out on deck and breathe?" Shulka asked.

"No, Comrade Shulka!" The battalion commander Venyakov replied.

"Why?"

"Because!" Venyakov fished out a cable from the dirty water and stuffed it into Shulka's hand and said: "You may fall into the sea, and there you will really swim to the Crimea!" ”

Then Shulka quickly understood what Venyakov meant, because as soon as he went out to sea, the hull shook violently...... Although the Black Sea inland sea is not stormy, it is still unbearable in stormy weather.

The only thing that gave Shulka some comfort was that he still had the bottle of vodka in his arms.

Shulka's first instinct was to pour the bottle into his stomach and get himself drunk, so that he would wake up and arrive at his destination.

But this is clearly an extravagant hope...... Shulka had only taken a few sips when bright eyes stared at him in the darkness around him, staring at the vodka in Shulka's hand to be exact, like a pack of hungry wolves staring at a lamb.

In desperation, Shulka could only contribute the wine.

Otherwise, Shulka believed that they would soon devour himself alive, even if he was their company commander.

As a result, Shulka vomited to death on the ship, and was almost carried down by his men when he finally reached his destination.

The fighters were loaded into the train almost as soon as they got off the ship, and they didn't even see what the Crimea looked like.

The train has 25 carriages, the kind with windows attached to each other, which Shulka believes is a temporary conversion of civilian carriages into military ones. And it's been in use for a while, which can be seen in the bullet holes in the compartment, broken glass, and faint traces of blood.

If anything, there was a command car next to the locomotive in front, and a flatbed car with anti-aircraft guns installed in the front and rear, apparently designed to deal with the enemy's air force.

But everyone knows that if there is an enemy aircraft bombing, the effect of anti-aircraft guns is to make the pilot a little nervous and then quickly drop the bomb, and the experienced enemy pilot will not even pay attention to this.

Shulka only felt better after getting on the train, and although it was just as crowded, it was heaven compared to the cabins, especially when they sent breakfast shortly after the train started...... Dry hard brown bread, a little sugar, a few dried fish and a little cigarette.

The actor immediately cheered, and then eagerly rolled up the cigarette with the old newspaper, and he was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he didn't know if it was the shaking of the train or Shulka's delusion.

"Taste this!" The veteran raised his head at Shulka as he bit on the dried fish: "It might make you feel better!" ”

"Thank you!" Shulka said, then picked one out of the dried fish, looked at it and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste is really good, crispy and refreshing, like fried in a pan.

"This is a specialty of the Crimea!" "As you can see, Crimea is surrounded by the sea on three sides and you can catch a lot of fish at any time, and they will bake the fish on the fire, because it will last longer!" That's what we......'re eating."

Shulka picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth, and then felt his appetite improve and have some strength.

"How do you know that?" Shulka asked as he munched on the dried fish.

"Because this is my hometown!" The veteran replied: "Alushta, it's only a dozen kilometers from here!" ”

The soldiers who were still noisy just now couldn't help but be silent when they heard this, some looked at the veteran with complicated eyes, some nodded at the veteran, and more were silent thinking about their own thoughts.

Shulka knew what was going on, and the fighters had been away from home for some time, including Leonyev from Kyiv and a group of recruits.

They are actually very homesick, especially on the battlefield where they don't know when they will die, to be exact, marching, fighting, marching and fighting.

They didn't say it, because it might be considered some kind of cowardice...... Because homesickness can have a negative consequence, which is to leave this place and go home desperately.

Another explanation for this behavior is: deserters!

Needless to say, what will happen then.

However, many things are kept in the heart, the more panicked they will be, and it often only takes a little introduction to detonate these things that are suppressed in the heart.

What the veteran just said was an introduction...... His hometown was close at hand, but he couldn't go back to see it.

At this time, the deputy instructor seized the opportunity to do some ideological work on the fighters: "Comrades, we are going to defend Moscow!" As you know, Moscow is our capital, and only by holding it can we guarantee the security of the Motherland, and by extension, our homeland and our loved ones......"

But most of the fighters at this time didn't listen to what the deputy instructor said.

While the assistant instructor had a point, if the fighters had been given their own choice, Shulka believed they would rather go home and stay with their families.
