Chapter 398 Another New Mission (1/2 for Davarichski)
As before, when the time reached around 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu Biao sat lazily in front of the computer and kept pressing the F5 button on the fingertip keyboard to refresh the page.
Try to find some clues about the next task in the shortest possible time.
Then, it is best to take advantage of the time before the task begins to make some targeted arrangements.
The difference is that compared to the time before the start of each mission in the past, Hu Biao now has something different on him, that is, the "letter of appointment as colonel commander of the Jiangsu Province Independent Regiment".
There is another document, which is ‘the approval document from the Ministry of the Republic of China regarding Hu Biao’s independent formation of the Jiangsu Provincial Independent Regiment’.
With these two things in hand, Hu Biao couldn't help but start to have some ideas.
For example, if the timeline allows, that is, the time of this mission is after November of 1944, then can the Zhongzhou team pull together such a team of the Jiangsu Province Independent Regiment?
Please believe that Hu Biao’s idea is definitely not for show-off, or in other words, it cannot be just for show-off.
More still, I am thinking, if we have a regiment of troops in hand, even a light infantry regiment with millet and rifles, wouldn't it be much easier to complete this mission?
Then, just as Hu Biao had such a bold idea, he discovered some changes on the computer screen.
It was on a certain blood forum, and suddenly there was an additional post.
The topic of the post is: If you participated in the "Battle of Stalingrad" that Mao Zi's family fought in 1942, what could you do?
What kind of changes can be made to that bloody battle, which is famous in human history?
In Hu Biao's impression, a city like Stalingrad was renamed Volgograd for a period of time.
(In order to avoid a certain name that cannot be directly viewed, we will use Volgograd instead from now on. Please let the bosses know.)
Maybe it's because the focus of the dispute is not on the domestic battlefield, so the lackeys who set the pace on the Internet may not be able to get the subsidy, or maybe the subsidy is not enough.
So among the replies to a post like this, the content is relatively mild.
The problem is that such relatively peaceful situations and atmosphere are not important at all to Hu Biao and others.
In fact, since discovering that the next mission of the system is actually the damn Volgograd Defense Battle, everyone in the team has become numb.
Even if many of them ask themselves, they have experienced countless bloody battles, and have seen too many huge battles involving mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
But the crux of the matter is that it was Volgograd, known as the biggest meat grinder battlefield in World War II.
This fierce battle began in July of 1942 and lasted until February of the following year. In this war, which lasted for more than half a year, a total of millions of people on both sides died.
During the period of the most intense fighting, more than 2 million people from both sides fought hard in and around such a city, fighting like wild beasts.
Both sides of the battle fought their brains out in order to control such a strategic location.
In the time before and after, thousands of aircraft, tanks, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces were invested regardless of the cost.
In a city that has been completely reduced to rubble, it is said that a new soldier rarely survives 24 hours after being filled in.
Even more experienced officers generally have a hard time surviving for more than three days.
In comparison, the battles Hu Biao and others experienced on the battlefields of China seemed to be far from adequate in terms of firepower density or other aspects.
Of course, this does not mean that the defenders on the Chinese battlefield were not heroic enough.
Just because the weapons and equipment of both warring parties on the Chinese battlefield were far inferior to those on the European and American battlefields at that time, the scene was a bit worse...
*****
"Damn it! This bastard of a system is denying people a way to survive."
After looking at the content in the post, Hu Biao cursed like this.
But despite the scolding, he still started to use his head crazily, thinking about what he needed to focus on preparing for this mission.
First of all, because we don’t know during what period of this battle the Zhongzhou team will join the mission.
Considering that such a battle lasted from hot summer to cold winter, Hu Biao quickly put out those thermal underwear, sweaters and woolen trousers, thickened and velvet military uniforms, and coats.
It was constantly being put on the body, and soon the body became bloated.
So what! Wear more clothes and go there. If the weather is too hot, just take them off. But if you wear less clothes, you will be in big trouble.
But even though he was dressed like a ball, Hu Biao still felt uneasy.
No one else! Even a pseudo-military fan like him has a deep memory of the power of Mao Zi’s family in winter.
In the past, His Majesty Emperor Napoleon, who had the Gallic Chicken, finally fell short in the Maozi winter; later, there were the Germans of the Third Reich, who were also defeated here for the same reason.
In later documentaries, those soldiers were in miserable condition in temperatures of more than 40 degrees below zero. It can only be said that Hu Biao sighed at most when watching them.
But now, I think about being thrown into such an environment.
Hu Biao, who had been in the Northeast region before and spent a period of time in the old forests in winter, suddenly felt a little shuddering.
After getting dressed, Hu Biao also had an idea about the supplies he would bring next.
He quickly plugged in the extension of the security device on his computer and directly sent out this message in one of the WeChat groups:
"Note, forget about food and stuff, just bring a little bit with you.
The most important thing is to bring more cigarettes, even cut tobacco, and some of the strongest alcohol; Lao An and black Chinese medicine practitioners, don’t forget to bring some antifreeze and medicine to treat frostbite.”
The reason why Hu Biao said this in the WeChat group was because he had his own considerations: Isn’t food important? Of course it is very important.
According to the information, Volgograd at that time adopted a food rationing system due to the blockade.
With such a small supply of food every day, we can barely guarantee that we will not starve to death.
The problem is that the span of such a task may last more than half a year, so how much food do you need to bring to be enough?
So Hu Biao thought that instead of bringing food, he might as well bring some tobacco and spirits.
Because for the idiots of the fighting nation, although food is important, it is definitely not as important as tobacco and spirits.
With these, you can not only get food, but also weapons, ammunition and some heavy equipment.
After Hu Biao sent out such a reminder, other people also thought of something and put forward some ideas on how to bring supplies in the WeChat group.
Yang Dongli, for example, gave this advice: "Brothers, please remember to bring a few more pairs of stockings."
When he saw such a statement, Hu Biao became very angry. He typed and cursed: "Lao Yang, how long has it been since this happened? Are you still thinking about such a thing?"
It's time for those guys who just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.
After seeing the above situation, I did not forget to send out pictures one after another to praise and show off Comrade Yang's excellence.
"Come on, silk stockings were sometimes more useful than money at that time; so you don't need to bring those fancy models with new materials, just bring some cheap nylon."
Be careful, don’t bring a model that is easy to tear.”
Facing Hu Biao's scolding, Yang Dongli typed out a string of words to explain.
Under such an explanation, Hu Biao no longer had any doubts, and of course he did not apologize for misunderstanding Yang Dongli.
Then, in a box filled with all kinds of new socks behind him, he picked out a dozen pairs and stuffed them into his backpack.
The main reason is that this thing takes up very little space and weighs very little.
I have to say that Comrade Yang’s suggestion is quite reliable.
Therefore, after experiencing such a small episode, everyone in the team wasted no time in preparing. The main reason was that after the packaging was completed, they had to seize the time to familiarize themselves with the details of this battle.
The only person who is a little different among them is the situation they have.
First, Big Brother, who was born in the 1970s, was still at home when he participated in the mission. In order not to be discovered by his family, he hid in the bathroom early.
As a result, after seeing the suggestion on the mobile phone about bringing more socks, the big brother who had not prepared these in advance was instantly confused.
But I have to say that Big Brother has a high level of ideological awareness. If there are difficulties, he will overcome them and complete the task.
He quietly poked his head out and found that his wife and daughter had fallen asleep. He quickly ran to the balcony and collected a pile of his wife's socks.
As for how to explain it later, let’s go through the mission first.
Secondly, when AT was putting a few pairs of new socks into his big backpack, he thought about it and put a large bag of candy in his backpack.
