"What did you say?" Colonel Pavelkov threw an angry glance at Shulka: "It's easy to defeat the enemy?!" Well, Comrade Captain, why don't you go up with your troops! ”

"I said it!" Shulka replied unceremoniously: "You have blocked our guns and become a shield to protect the enemy!" ”

Pavelkov looked at Shulka like a monster and laughed after a long while: "It's easy to do, Comrade Captain, you guys go up, I'll withdraw the troops from the front!" ”

"On my terms, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied: "I mean, I command the battle...... That's what I drove the enemy back. ”

Colonel Pavelkov was angry, and without thinking about it, he replied: "No problem, it's up to you to command and see what you are capable of!" ”

"Yes, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka straightened up, then raised his head at Major Mikhailvich with a smile.

Major Mikhailvich and Vasily were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

They didn't expect Shulka to get the command that they couldn't get before, no matter how hard they fought for it, with just a few words.

In fact, this is very simple, to deal with people who have courage and no scheming, a radical method is enough.

Lieutenant Lermontov whispered a few words in the ear of Colonel Pavelkov.

Colonel Pavelkov immediately realized that he had been deceived, but it was difficult to take back the order, so he added a condition: "There is nothing wrong with being under your command, but you can't retreat and you can't lose an inch of territory!" ”

"Don't worry, Comrade Colonel!" Shulka replied: "Is it okay for us to give up the land during the day, and we will take it back by the evening?" ”

"Are you going to give up the Mamayev Heights?" Pavelkov frowned.

"No, we're just giving up on the positive bevel!" Shulka replied: "If you are not at ease, you can place your forces behind us!" ”

Colonel Pavelkov thought about it and felt that this did not seem to be a big problem.

The first is that the losses at the front were too great, and the 39th Guards Infantry Regiment was also a little unable to hold out.

What's more, as Shulka said, Bakorkov could also deploy forces in the rear of the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

So Pavelkov nodded and asked: "Tell me about your battle plan!" ”

"It's easy!" Shulka replied: "We set up positions on the anti-slope, and when we are ready, we can withdraw the front-line troops, and we will take care of the rest!" ”

After hesitating for a while, Pavelkov said: "No problem, you guys will signal when you are ready!" ”

"Yes, Colonel!" Shulka replied.

When Pavelkov left with his troops, Lieutenant Lermontov said with some unwillingness: "Comrade Colonel, what they want is command, do we really hand over the Mamayev post to them?" If they had lost the Mamayev Heights, Comrade Major General would have sent us to a military tribunal! ”

"I will not let this happen, Comrade Lermontov!" Pavelkov replied while advancing in the communication trench with a cat on his back: "First of all, our line of defense on the positive slope has been blown up beyond recognition, and I estimate that the enemy will soon launch a general offensive, that is...... Even if we don't want to give up, we won't be able to hold on for long! ”

Jumping over a crater, Pavelkov then said to Lermontov, who was following him: "Secondly, we put the reserves behind the 82nd Infantry Regiment, do you know what this means? ”

Lermontov thought for a moment, and then it dawned on him: "Can we stop them from escaping?" ”

Pavelkov smiled and nodded: "So, what's the matter if you let them be proud for a while?" ”

"That's right, Comrade Colonel!" Lermontov nodded heavily.

He understood what Pavelkov meant.

If this was the case, the 82nd Infantry Regiment would have to defend the Mamayev post, and in the event of a retreat it would be "subject to military law" by the Guards infantry guarding behind it, as is undoubted under Order No. 227.

And if the 82nd Infantry Regiment did not retreat, it meant that they could only fight the Germans to the end on the Mamayev Heights.

The 82nd Infantry Regiment had a total strength of only 800 men, and it had been fighting for many days, and no one would have believed that they could hold off the German attack.

In other words, the 82nd Infantry Regiment can be said to be dead.

In that case, why not make the 82nd Infantry Regiment a little more proud?

More importantly, when the 82nd Infantry Regiment fought to the end, the Guards Infantry could go up to reinforce or also to receive positions.

Therefore, this can be said to be beneficial and harmless to the Guards Infantry Regiment.

Lermontov couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, no wonder Pavelkov could become the head of a group.

On the other hand, Shulka, of course, regardless of what the others thought, he, Major Mikhailvich and Vasily had already begun to make intense arrangements.

"We're going to divide the position into layers!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "At the top is the ridge position, and a company ...... is laid."

"A company?" Major Mikhailvich said: "Will it be too little? ”

"The ridge position is also what we are ready to give up!" Shulka said: "Otherwise we will not see the enemy either!" ”

Vasily nodded in agreement, he understood what Shure said.

The ridge line at the top of the mountain is actually a natural division of the enemy into two parts that are invisible to each other and difficult to reinforce.

"So, all our firepower is deployed against the ridged position!" Shulka pointed to the map and said: "About one hundred and fifty meters down, an infantry battalion, two hundred meters with mortars. Three hundred meters and another line of defense to retreat in time for danger, understand? ”

"Understood!" Major Mikhailvich nodded.

"What about the sniper company?" Vasily asked.

He actually asked knowingly, but Shulka thought he also had a taste of Kao Schulka.

"Feel free to do whatever you want!" Shulka said: "As long as you can hit the enemy!" ”

Vasily nodded in satisfaction.

Snipers should have enough freedom and keep their distance from the enemy as they attack...... Only in this way can the advantage of the sniper's long range be used as much as possible, that is, the sniper can hit the enemy but the enemy can't hit the sniper.

Since German light mortars have a range of 500 meters, snipers are more suitable for deployment at about 500 meters.

Because this way, the Sniper can almost ignore all of the enemy's light equipment, unless the enemy also has a Sniper.

"Still have questions?" Shulka asked one last time.

"No, no problem!" Mikhailvich replied: "I will immediately organize troops to seize the time to build defenses!" ”

With that, Mikhailvich left with Andrianka.
