There is no update for now, so I have to wait for a while. I suggest you watch it again at noon tomorrow... There will be more updates.
In the dull afternoon, there was a sense of restlessness and uneasiness in the air. Not far away, several trucks slowly drove towards the army. After these trucks arrived at their destination, a stout man wearing an officer's military cap got out of the leading truck.
The man, company commander Loya knew him. This man was called Modly, a captain in the logistics force. Loya understood what his arrival meant. 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: "Distribute the extra rations to every vehicle here immediately."
Modly lowered the tailgate of his truck and opened a large box containing liquor, cigarettes and chocolate.
"30 cigarettes per person, and a bottle of brandy for every four people," Modly said generously.
"Long live!" The soldiers immediately let out thunderous cheers after hearing this.
Alcohol and cigarettes have always been the traditional needs of the army. The solace of tobacco and alcohol can make people relax and temporarily forget the anxiety and fear of reality. It is like an antidote for soldiers who have to deal with death.
Modly's eyes signaled Loya to step aside. When Loya saw this, he did not dare to follow Modly to the side carelessly.
"Go ahead and arrange it. Two platoons from your company will be responsible for the demolition and relocation of the camp. Tell your regimental commander later to have the main battalion and artillery battalion ready to obey orders at any time. We are going to attack the bridge where the Soviet army is stationed!"
After hearing this, Loya immediately saluted and replied: "Yes!"
Then he trotted away to deliver the order.
The reason why Modly did not go directly to Loya and his group leader, but came to Loya's camp first and asked Loya to help spread the message, was that there was an inside story.
The leader of Loya's 135th Infantry Regiment was unfortunately killed in action a few days ago. Also killed in the battle was the deputy commander of the 135th Infantry Regiment. The temporary acting commander who took over the commander's job was a person of not too high standard.
Lieutenant Colonel Felix.
The situation of generals whose level is inconsistent with their positions is not unique to the Soviet Union. Although these phenomena are more common in the Soviet army due to the Great Purge, there are also a few such situations in the German army.
For example, Felix, although his military literacy is almost a mess, he joined the Wehrmacht as early as the first round of the 100,000-thousand-thousand-thousand-strong Wehrmacht expansion, and later happened to participate in military operations in the Rhineland, Austria, Poland, France and other regions.
, he was also considered to have rich experience, so he managed to reach the rank of lieutenant colonel along the way.
During the war, it took more than ten years to be promoted from private to lieutenant colonel. This speed was not very fast, especially when this officer participated in a large number of key battles.
If it weren't for the repeated interruptions of sudden military operations, Felix should have entered the military academy long ago. However, due to a series of accidents, Felix has never been able to enter the military academy, but his military rank has been promoted.
Arrive at the Lieutenant Colonel.
Fortunately, Felix is very self-aware. Although his military level is not high, he is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates who graduated from the military academy. For example, in the 135th Regiment, Felix likes to ask Loya, a graduate of the military academy, for advice on everything.
The top student company commander.
This can be regarded as one of Felix's great advantages. You know, in the Soviet army, General Pavlov not only listened to the suggestions of his subordinates, but even Zhukov's warnings were ignored by him, and it also caused him to criticize Zhukov.
Framed and revenge.
In the Soviet army, people like Pavlov could reach the level of general. In contrast, in the German army, the very few people like Felix who were promoted as a result of the war only reached the level of lieutenant colonel.
.
From this point of view, even if the German army's officer selection mechanism still has shortcomings, it is much better than that of the Soviet army.
So later on, even Modly from the logistics department knew that the real person in charge of the 135th Regiment was not their acting commander, but the little company commander Loya.
Not long after, the 135th Regiment camp was abuzz with tension and hustle and bustle. Tents were being dismantled, tanks were being prepared, and soldiers were busy loading bullets.
After finishing their work, the soldiers waited for the departure order from acting commander Felix and rested on the spot.
Although Loya's opinions are often Felix's orders, Felix is still the de facto acting commander after all, and the 135th Regiment has to wait for his orders.
Before the operation, the troops not only faced huge physical and mental pressure, but also had to encourage themselves over and over again. They smoked cigarettes before charging into the battle, and few of them touched the brandy. Although sulfa drugs were distributed, the fear of injury and death still persisted.
Still bothering and tormenting them. Today is destined to have a sleepless night. The night is so long, and the whole team is filled with a tense atmosphere. The relaxation when they were stationed has disappeared. Some people are lying down and taking a nap, while others are sitting in a daze.
A soldier of the company, Charles, kept wiping his machine gun. Occasionally he would stop and look ahead as if he was thinking about something, although there was nothing worth seeing in front of him except a thin soldier who seemed to be asleep.
Something, but he still looked ahead from time to time. In fact, if he looked carefully, he found that he was not really looking at anything.
