André asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or false?" Zhukov said: "Of course it's the truth," and Andrei quickly said the reason for the failure of the counteroffensive like an endorsement: "If the Red Army is now inferior to the German army in terms of strength and technical weapons, this counteroffensive will inevitably fail, but this counteroffensive can disrupt the German offensive rhythm and lay a solid foundation for the next urban counterattack?"

After listening to Andrei's words, Zhukov did not say his opinion, but said directly: "You tell me about your defensive deployment!" ”

So Andrei told him about his defensive tactics one by one, and Zhukov listened to it with great interest and said: "It seems that if you have enough troops, the German flag will probably not be planted on the Mamayev post, you should know how important the Mamayev post is to the defense of the whole city, and I want to tell you that although many troops will come to Stalingrad in the future, I am afraid that it will take one to two months for your troops to replenish their troops."

"Why?" Andrei asked, and Zhukov's answer made Andrei almost cry without tears, Zhukov said: "Your training plan, after the revision of the General Staff, is now in accordance with the new standards for the training of recruits, what you said about actual combat and professional training is very reasonable, and the next step is to adjust the training, so the new army base camp needs time to adjust." ”

Ah, Andrei wanted to cry without tears, before 1938 more than 80% of the Red Army units were formed on the basis of local militias. At that time, men who could carry guns to fight were conscripted into the army and joined militia organizations

, and spent a relatively limited time there, and then joined the units of the Red Army, where such fighters amounted to about half of the total number of troops as a whole. The first period of service for these fighters was three months per year, followed by a five-year period of one month per year. In this way, half of the regular, non-local armies were formed through conscription to serve a two-year term. This system of local conscription was later abolished, and the same method of conscription was adopted by both militias and regular forces.

Men who have reached the age of 18 are conscripted into the army for military service. Young men who have completed more than seven years of schooling can attend military academies, where they are trained to become highly qualified army unit commanders. The Aviation Institute has high academic requirements for students: they need to undergo 9 years of school education, and they must pass an exam and undergo a medical examination by a medical board. Finally, the politics and ideology of the family must also be examined by the Eligibility Committee.

Military service was popular at the time because it provided a higher standard of living for the service than the common people, while also providing an opportunity to learn professional skills.

As soon as the war broke out, the Soviet Union launched a general mobilization for conscription. The first (year of the birth of a young man) began in the summer of 1941. However, the exception is to those who work in military factories or harvesters in rural areas.

Beginning in 1943, the Red Army began to reopen work in areas where there had been no conscription in the month before the war. This includes young people who have not been previously mobilized or who have just reached the age of 18, veterans and partisans who have managed to settle down. These various men were quickly gathered and sent to the battlefield, often without uniforms, and were mostly prisoners of the Gulag in the occupied areas at the time.

Andrei's new training plan pointed out that although the Soviet Union had a small amount of military training for citizens before the war for the sake of preparing for war, it was only a very basic amount of training such as shooting, platoons, etc., and even the enlistment training time was only three months. The training lasted for three months, and the instructors were generally Red Army veterans who had been wounded and retired, and the wake-up call sounded at six o'clock in the morning. We hurried out of the dugout, washed ourselves in the snow, each of us was given a piece of slimy, which was bread, and then we marched five kilometers to the training ground with all our combat equipment (including rifles, gas masks, ammunition, and backpacks). The instructors taught us the essentials of shooting, hand-to-hand combat, and bayonet fighting. After a morning of crawling in the snow, exhausted, and returning to the barracks for lunch at noon. Lunch was hard to swallow! A bowl of pale green consommé with a few cabbage leaves floating on it, and the rationed bread was also half-cooked. Sometimes we also eat fish and drink porridge, but the fish is stinking and only one spoonful of porridge is consumed, but this is already a rare delicacy for us. Many of the recruits became emaciated by this diet, and the troops moved them to the battalion that housed the 'sick', where they could fill their stomachs and drink yeast drinks. Even able-bodied Siberians would be hungry if they only ate such food. Recruits recruited from the area began to desert, but the troops chased them back. Every week we would assemble in a queue near the bomb shelter to watch the trial. A mobile military court will be present at the trial, and the recruits will watch as they are sentenced to death and executed on the spot. Occasionally, there are people who are very hard to be exempted from capital punishment and sent to the correctional company to be punished. Three months spent at the bootcamp were as long as three years.

According to the new plan, in addition to the basic training, it is also necessary to increase the training of courage, that is, let the soldiers hide behind the mound covered with steel plates and shoot with machine guns and shoot with machine guns when crawling forward with barbed wire, so as to improve the immersive situation and enhance the psychological quality of the soldiers, and also use live pigs and other livestock for assassination training to improve the courage of the soldiers and their adaptability to the bloody battlefield, and at the same time, after the assassination, the food of the soldiers in the rear can be improved.

Under the warm sun, a strange army was advancing, and it was strange because the soldiers were carrying a wooden stick in addition to their rifles, and what was even more incredible was that in front of the team, there were nine pigs tied to the planks and carried by four soldiers.

The soldiers all looked at the nine fat pigs howling desperately with strange expressions, "Hey, Sasha, you are smart, tell my brother what the instructor brought these pigs for?" ”

"This ...... Maybe the instructor wants us to eat roast pig at noon! As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of babbling, "Then what do you mean by the instructor?" Sasha asked rhetorically, and everyone didn't know

When the instructor asked the soldiers to tie the pigs to the pillars, the recruits finally learned that the pigs were their assassination targets, "Good you Sasha!" If you can't eat the roast pig, I'll roast your dead Sasha at noon and eat it! Alyosha, who was so frightened that his face was bloodless, yelled at Sasha. Alyosha, as long as you can eat then, you can eat whatever you want. ”

"On the bayonet, in the order of the shift, whoever delays the time, who will not have pork to eat at night!" The instructor gave the order with an expressionless face, because he knew that white-knuckle combat was brutal and bloody. Let them experience it earlier, and they will be able to go with the flow on the battlefield later.

Under the strict orders of the instructor, each platoon of the two companies stood in front of the pillar, the bright bayonets flashing with a cold light, and the howls of the pigs, who realized that something was wrong, were even more terrible.

The first soldier of each squad was holding a rifle with a pale face, and the bayonet was shaking irregularly, and he looked nervously at the instructor in command, "Ready, stab!" At the sound of the command, the nine warriors roared and stabbed the first shot.

"Poof!" The pig tied to the pillar screamed, and the warrior pulled it out hard, and a stream of bloody arrows sprayed on the warriors' faces, and three warriors could not stand the stimulation, and vomited on the spot.

All the recruits stabbed the bayonet into the nine fat pigs again and again in the sound of the password, and stabbed the pigs directly to the back, and the flesh was directly bloody, and it was puzzling that the vitality of the pigs was too tenacious, and they looked like they were dying every time they were stabbed.

"Alyosha, do you still want to eat roast pig?" Sasha patted Alyosha on the back and snickered gloatingly, it turned out that he was a small worker in the slaughterhouse before he became a soldier, and he was used to this kind of scene.

"You ......" Alyosha looked up and saw the nine fat pigs that were not blinding, and couldn't help retching again.

Afterwards, the workload of the cooking class and the cannery was much lighter, and every day the pigs were sent back by the recruits in strips, as long as they worked a little more.

In Central Asia, it was replaced by sheep, and it has to be said that Andrei proposed a revised training plan of the General Staff of the Soviet Union, which improved the battlefield adaptability and psychological quality of the recruits, and laid the foundation for future victories!

However, at this time, Andrei didn't know that he could make such a big impact, and now he was going to be distressed about his lack of troops in the future!

Next, Zhukov left after inspecting the defense of Mamayev Height, and then the Siberian Volunteer Division will usher in the most brutal battle!
