In the dreary afternoon, the air was filled with a sense of restlessness and restlessness, and not far away a few trucks slowly drove towards the army. After these trucks arrived at their destination, a stout man wearing a commander's military hat came down from the truck, the company commander Loya knew him, this man was called Modly, a captain in the logistics unit, Loya understood what his arrival meant, and everyone had been looking forward to his appearance these days.

Captain Modly walked past Loya, smiled slightly, and said to the truck drivers behind him, "Immediately distribute the extra rations to every vehicle here." ”

Modly lowered the tailgate of his van and opened a large box containing spirits, cigarettes, and chocolate.

"30 cigarettes per person, and a bottle of brandy for every four people." Modly generously agreed.

"Hooray!" When the soldiers heard this, they immediately let out thunderous cheers.

Alcohol and cigarettes have always been a traditional requirement of the troops. The solace of tobacco and alcohol can relax people's minds and temporarily forget the anxiety and fear of reality, and it is like an antidote for soldiers who have to deal with death.

Modly motioned for Loya to step aside, and Loya didn't dare to follow Mordly to the side in the sloppiness when he saw this.

"Arrange it, divide two platoons from your company to be responsible for the demolition and relocation of the camp, and go back to tell your regiment commander that the main battalion and the artillery battalion are on standby and obey orders at any time. We're going to storm the bridges where the Soviets are stationed! ”

After hearing this, Luo Ya immediately saluted and replied, "Yes!" ”

Then he trotted away to deliver the instructions.

The reason why Modley did not go directly to Loya and their leader, but came to Loya's camp first and asked Loya to help spread the word, there is an inside story here.

The commander of the 135th Infantry Regiment where Loya belonged was unfortunately killed a few days ago. Also killed in battle was the deputy commander of the 135th regiment. And the temporary acting head of the regiment who took over the work of the regiment commander was a lieutenant colonel Felix, who was not too high-level.

The fact that generals whose rank did not correspond to their positions was not unique to the Soviet Union. Although these phenomena were more common in the Soviet army because of the Great Purge, there were also a few such cases in the German army.

For example, Felix, although he is close to a mess in terms of military literacy, but because he joined the Wehrmacht as early as the first round of expansion of the 100,000 Wehrmacht, and later happened to participate in military operations in the Rhineland, Austria, Poland, France and other regions, he can be regarded as experienced, so he barely mixed up all the way to the rank of lieutenant colonel.

During the war, it took more than a decade to move from private to lieutenant colonel, which was not a quick pace, especially given that the officer had participated in a large number of key battles.

If it weren't for the repeated interruptions of one sudden military operation after another, Felix would have been in the military academy a long time ago. And due to a series of accidents, Felix has not been able to enter the military school, but the military rank has been promoted to lieutenant colonel.

But fortunately, Felix is very self-aware, although his military level is not high, but he is good at listening to the opinions of subordinates who graduated from military schools. For example, in the 135th Regiment, Felix likes to consult Luo Ya, a high-achieving company commander who graduated from a military academy, about everything.

This is also one of Felix's great strengths. You must know that in the Soviet army, General Pavlov did not say that he followed the advice of his subordinates, and even Zhukov's warnings were regarded by him as a deaf ear, and he also attracted his revenge for Zhukov's frame-up and revenge.

In the Soviet army, people like Pavlov could even reach the rank of general. In contrast, the very few people in the German army, such as Felix, who were exceptionally promoted because of the war, only reached the rank of lieutenant colonel.

In this way, the German army's officer selection mechanism, if not deficient, is much better than that of the Soviet army.

So later, even Modley in the logistics department knew that the person who was really in charge of the 135th Regiment was not their acting commander, but the small company commander of Loya.

It didn't take long for the 135th regiment camp to be filled with tension and hustle and bustle, tents being dismantled, tanks being prepared, and soldiers busy with bullets.

After finishing their work, the soldiers waited for the command of the acting regimental commander, Felix, and rested in place.

Although Loya's opinion is often Felix's order, Felix is still the actual acting head of the regiment after all, and the 135th regiment has to wait for his order.

Before the operation, the army was not only under tremendous physical and mental pressure, but also had to encourage itself over and over again, smoking cigarettes before the charge, and few people touched the brandy. Despite the dispensing of sulfonamides, the fear of injury and death still haunts and afflicts them. Today is destined to be a sleepless night. The night was so long, the whole team was in a tense atmosphere, the ease of stationing had vanished, some people were lying down and pretending to sleep, some people were sitting in a daze, a company of small soldiers Charles was constantly wiping the machine guns, occasionally trying to think about something and stopping for a moment to look ahead, although there was nothing worth seeing in front of him except for a thin soldier who seemed to be asleep at this time, but he still looked ahead from time to time, in fact, if he looked closely, he didn't really look at anything.
