After the fifth watch, I finally have the confidence to say a few words...... I don't dare to speak without five watches!

Thanks to the alliance leader of several old readers: Jiang Xuanjing, a comrade who is the class leader, and a classmate who has nothing to do with the dragon...... I went, but the word "worm" couldn't be typed, so I went to copy and paste.

***********

Rokossovsky did not go to the front, he rushed only to a small village in Istria, which was more than a dozen kilometers from the front...... The headquarters of the 4th Tank Brigade was located there.

The reason why the 4th Tank Brigade is here is because of the "tug of war", they are supposed to retreat during the day, and the tanks obviously cannot retreat during the day, otherwise they will be pursued by German air power.

So, last night, when the 4th Tank Brigade captured Volokolamsk and waited for a while for the 316th Division to consolidate its front, the 4th Tank Brigade retreated overnight.

They retreated here, stinged and waited for the Germans to strike here again, and then counterattacked.

But they couldn't wait, and the instructor was a little uneasy.

"The Germans probably won't play this game with us anymore!" The instructor said, "I don't know what they can do!" ”

"What else can be done?" Pukarev continued: "Either they attack, or they are watching from outside the line, I think they have no choice, as long as our 4th Tank Brigade is there!" ”

The soldiers chimed in.

Shulka didn't speak, he thought the same as the instructor, knowing that the Germans would not be as simple as everyone else thought.

At this moment two soldiers came down the trench, their cats hunched up, and they saluted at the sight of Shulka's rank.

"Comrade Second Lieutenant!" One of the corporals at the head introduced: "We are from the 18th Infantry Division, we are separated from the troops, and the captain ordered us to report to you!" ”

This is a common occurrence in the troops, and as mentioned before, the entire 16th Army can almost be said to be composed of scattered stragglers.

The troops are always spotting skirmishers and then randomly assigning them to the troops.

Shulka nodded, and then raised his head at the veteran: "I'll leave them to you!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Ensign!"

The platoon of veterans suffered heavy casualties during this period and needed to be replenished.

Another reason for this arrangement is that the veterans are experienced and have quite good military qualities, and Shulka believes that the veterans can lead these two soldiers well.

But I didn't expect the veteran to come and report to Shulka after a while.

"Comrade Second Lieutenant, I think there is something wrong with the new recruits!" The veteran said.

"What's the problem?" Shure asked.

"I'm not sure...... You should go and listen to what he has to say! The veteran said: "The one named Antipunov!" ”

Confused, Shulka walked to a platoon of garrisoned trenches, where they had set up a machine gun emplacement, which was larger, and where the veterans dug a recess in the back of the trench and raised a fire so that the soldiers could gather around it.

Shulka sat down by the fire, and the corporal named Antipunov, a young man with short flaxen hair, was roasting his hands in front of the fire and said: "I am a Moldovan, and I built a carriage on a collective farm before joining the army!" I don't want to join the army, guys, not because I'm afraid, our family is a believer, and our faith forbids killing......"

The actor interrupted him: "The Germans are aggressors, they are ***, executioners, don't you know?" Why should you sympathize with them! ”

"But isn't the **** molecule life?"

"You mean to say that you went into battle and planned to shoot in the air?"

"Maybe......"

The veteran spread his hands at Shulka, and Shulka understood that they had taken in a "harmless" recruit.

"There is no need to report such things to me, Comrade Matvey!" When he stepped aside, Shulka said to the veteran: "If he wants to shoot into the sky, let him shoot into the sky, we are not short of these bullets!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Ensign!" The veteran replied: "I'm just not sure if it's a violation of the order, whether it's to be ...... to the instructor"

As he spoke, the veteran stopped talking.

Shulka understood what the veteran meant, a soldier who shoots in the air, a soldier who does not hate the enemy and does not want to kill them, and even preaches mercy to the enemy and the enemy is also a soldier in the army...... This has the potential to have a negative impact on the morale of the troops, and can even be said to be a violation of orders.

This is also the reason why the veteran reported to Shulka.

After thinking about it, Shulka said, "You don't need to do this, you don't need to argue with him about anything, understand?" The battlefield will make him understand! ”

Shulka knew what was going on, and Antipunov just didn't want to choose, didn't want to go against what he had always believed.

But the battlefield will force him to choose, or...... The battlefield will make him never have to worry about choosing again.

"Yes, Comrade Ensign!" The veteran replied helplessly, with an expression that he considered unlucky.

The veteran thought that there were two more soldiers, but he didn't expect to receive a guy who could only shoot in the sky, and if he could, the veteran would like to step forward and kick that guy twice.

It wasn't long before Shulka learned that they had given Antipunov a nickname: "The Godfather".

At this time, the phone of the company headquarters rang, and the voice of Major Gavrilov came from the other end of the phone: "Comrade Shulka, I need you to come to the regimental headquarters!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Major!" After putting down the phone, Shulka felt that it was most likely related to the non-offensive of the German army.

Sure enough, when Shulka arrived at the headquarters, he saw that Rokossovsky and Zakhakavich were there.

"Comrade Shulka!" As soon as he saw Shulka, Rokossovsky warmly greeted him and shook Shulka's hand, praising him: "Others say that you are a 'breakthrough hero', I think it's more suitable to use 'counterattack hero' now!" ”

The officers all laughed, knowing that Rokossovsky was referring to last night's victory.

There is no one who is not happy and proud of winning a battle, especially in such difficult conditions.

Rokossovsky led Shulka to the map, and then said: "But the situation of the battle has changed, the enemy has changed tactics, they did not attack Volokolamsk, but surrounded the 32nd Army, which was attacking Tver!" ”

Shulka didn't have too many surprises, and he thought of this possibility when the Germans didn't move.

Gavrilov interjected at this time: "Did the higher authorities allow the 32nd Army to retreat?" ”

This seems to be asked knowingly, of course, being surrounded is a breakthrough, and of course a breakthrough is allowed.

But Major Gavrilov was not a drunkard, he was actually asking who was in command now.

Rokossovsky, of course, understood what Major Gavrilov meant, and he nodded and replied: "Yes, Comrade Zhukov ordered the 32nd Army to break through with all its might!" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if they had loosened the ropes tied to their hands and feet.

"The question now is......" Rokossovsky asked, "are we going to organize the rescue of the 32nd Army?" ”
