BXBX NOVEL Chapter 600: TRAIN STATION
************
"Staff officer?" Major General Batrakov raised his eyebrows, and then replied: "Comrade Captain, I don\'t think you understand one thing. Every soldier in the 10th Division is not redundant. They are all in their proper positions. I also know what I have to do. Of course the staff is no exception, look at them..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to the surroundings, and then continued: "Do you think any of them is free? No, Comrade Captain! They are all busy commanding troops to fight, everyone is busy, and you only have two companies. Your unit thinks I\'ll assign you a staff officer?"
"But, Comrade Batrakov..."
"No but!" Batrakov interrupted Shulka: "I said, I will let them cooperate with you, you don\'t need to worry about this!"
Shuerka could only helplessly agree, and then walked out of the headquarters.
He knew that it would be meaningless to continue arguing like this. After all, he was only a captain, and more importantly, he brought only two companies of reinforcements.
Vasily and his team were already waiting outside. When they saw Shulka coming out, they got up one after another. Vasily still looked at Shulka with questioning eyes.
Shulka shook his head to indicate that things were not going well.
"I knew it would be like this!" Vasily said: "But I think this is normal, because we are fighting in other places, and there will be such a situation where we cannot get the coordination of local troops!"
"So, this can also be called a kind of training?" Shulka asked.
"Yes!" Vasily said: "A kind of training, we must not only be careful of the enemy, but also be careful of our own people!"
Vasily is commendable for this, he will treat everything with a positive attitude.
If it is a different person, you should be scolding at this time... How can you come to help them fight without the support of the local army? This is a hot face and a cold ass.
"What shall we do now?" Vavinovich asked.
Compared with Vasily, Vavinovich is a bit silly, so don\'t think about it, it must be Vasily who plays the leading role.
Vassily set his sights on Shulka, meaning to let Shulka make a decision.
Shuerka thought for a while, then said: "Rest, then familiarize yourself with the terrain and scout the enemy\'s situation!"
Vassily nodded slightly, and replied "Yes, Comrade Captain".
From Vasily\'s expression, it can be seen that Shulka\'s decision coincided with Vasily\'s, although they planned to enter the battlefield as soon as possible before that.
From Vasily\'s point of view, Shulka did have a reason to enter the battlefield immediately.
Because everyone is not optimistic about the cadet troops of these two companies, including the 10th Division. Shurka was just ridiculed for a while in the 10th Division. All of them are wrong.
but…
The more this is the case, the more you should be calm, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out if you are not careful, even if the two companies brought by Shulka are elite.
The next step was arranged by Vasily.
He divided the troops into several parts to conduct reconnaissance, and then found an unoccupied private house nearby as a temporary headquarters... At this time, Stalingrad was full of such private houses, but quite a few of them were in ruins .
After more than an hour, the reconnaissance information was brought back one after another by the reconnaissance troops. Vasily sorted them out and marked them on the map.
"The war seems to be calming down!" Vasily said: "The casualties of the 10th Division were indeed very heavy, making them unable to launch a counterattack!"
Shulka understood what Vasily meant.
Night was originally the time for the Soviet army to counterattack and regain lost ground, but the 10th Division did not do so.
"This time was originally suitable for us to enter the battlefield!" Vasily said: "But..."
Shuerka nodded to express his understanding.
Cold guns and cold guns are suitable when the enemy and the enemy are in a stalemate like this, and it is still dark at this time, harassment operations can make the German army panic and panic.
More importantly, it can make the enemy confused about the Soviet army\'s cards.
But now, it is easy to be misunderstood by your own people when you easily pull the troops to the front line, especially the cold guns... The cold guns are hidden in the dark and shoot in the dark. The Soviet army also threw a bunch of shells into the hiding place at the same time, so there were no people inside and outside.
"Batrakov made a mistake!" Shulka said.
"Yes!" Vasily said, "He shouldn\'t have rejected us!"
"That\'s not all I said!" Shulka said.
"What?" Vasily didn\'t understand.
"At any time, we must not let the enemy guess our own situation!" Shulka said: "If we can guess that the 10th Division is unable to counterattack, then the enemy can also guess!"
Vassily said "Oh" and agreed: "So, even if the 10th Division is unable to counterattack, it should launch feint attacks in all directions to confuse or harass the enemy!"
"Yes!" Shulka said: "But now, the enemy already knows the weakness of the 10th Division, so it is not difficult to guess...they will launch a fierce attack after dawn the next day!"
Vassily nodded in agreement.
Then he shook his head and said: "It seems that we chose the wrong battlefield, and they may not survive tomorrow!"
"No, it should be said that we chose the right one!"
Vassily once again cast a puzzled look at Shulka. If the German army launched a fierce attack at dawn the next day if they were unable to participate in the battle tonight, the cadet troops would have almost no chance to participate in the battle. How can they say that they chose the right one?
"We don\'t have to go into battle at night!" Shulka said.
"You mean..." Vasily looked at Shulka in surprise: "Tomorrow will be daytime? When the enemy is fully attacking?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded.
"But it\'s daytime, Comrade Captain!" Vasily said: "The enemy has an overwhelming advantage!"
"Then make them unable to take advantage of this overwhelming advantage!" Shulka said, pointing to the location of No. 2 train station on the map, and said: "Here, let\'s assume that tomorrow the Germans will break through our army\'s defense line and attack the train. Stand, our chance is here!"
Vasily said "oh", then nodded slowly.
The railway station is dominated by large buildings, full of tall warehouses, office buildings, canopies, and sections of abandoned or bombed train carriages scattered on the railway.
These structures can obviously be excellent hideouts for snipers.
Even the superior artillery and air force of the German army can\'t do anything about them, because large buildings can\'t be blown up with just two or a few shells or bombs, and it\'s impossible to expend a lot of shells just because of a few snipers. Blow up a large building.
Therefore, the German army can only send infantry into the occupation.
