In the Soviet army's military rank system, starting from the rank of second lieutenant, one is a veritable officer.
In fact, a sergeant can be considered an officer, because there are actually many sergeants serving as company commanders... There is a lack of command personnel, so the military ranks cannot keep up.
But if there is a serious military officer certificate as proof, it is the second lieutenant.
It was a small book with a size of 75mm*110mm and a total of 17 pages.
Compared with the previous "soldier certificate", the information on the military officer's certificate is more stringent... In the "soldier certificate", you can just fill in some information such as name, enlisted unit, branch of arms, etc. Photos don't matter, and many people even don't even have this information.
There are no certificates.
The military ID card is different. It requires filling in the time of birth, place, family details, etc.
This makes Shulka worry...time of birth, place, family information?
Shulka's eyes darkened and he didn't know anything.
If there were no acquaintances around, Shulka could still fill in the blanks, but now he knows that the actor is his fellow countryman...
"Comrade Okunev!" Shulka called the actor aside: "I need your help with something!"
"Yes, Comrade Company Commander!" The actor stood up and responded, and then whispered: "Comrade Company Commander, you should say, 'There is a task for you to complete'!"
"Okay!" Shulka said: "I can't remember these..."
As he said this, Shulka handed over his military ID: "My mind went blank and I don't remember anything!"
Since the actor had always thought that Shulka lost his memory because he injured his head, Shulka just took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation.
The actor didn't have the slightest doubt. He just looked at Shulka with a slightly sad look, and then said: "January 19, 1922, Lobnya, father..."
So Shulka knew this information. He was an only child... This seemed to be a good thing, because then he didn't need to worry about being found out by his brothers and sisters.
After receiving the equipment information, Shulka asked Pukarev to make a list, and he only needed to copy it.
The photo can only be left empty.
First of all, it was because it was not easy to find a photo studio that was still open during the war.
The second thing is that even if you find it and take a photo, it is very likely that you will not be able to get the photo... The reason is very simple, the troops will be transferred to the front line or elsewhere to perform tasks at any time.
Shulka was right, because the troops only had one day's rest in school before being sent to the battlefield again.
To be precise, it is not a battlefield, but an order to garrison the middle defense line of Odessa. (Note: The outer defense line consists of the 25th Infantry Division and the 95th Infantry Division of the original Odessa troops)
This is another "gratitude" from the garrison to the 9th Mechanized Army... As mentioned before, the middle defense line is only 6 to 8 kilometers away from the city of Odessa, which allows them to return to Odessa in rotation to rest when night falls.
.
But you have to walk.
This left the soldiers a little puzzled.
"Comrade Company Commander!" the actor asked Shulka: "We have a car, why can't we take the car back?"
Pukarev answered this question for Shulka: "Our supply lines are being blocked by the Germans. We must do our best to save supplies. Do you know how much gasoline we will consume if we take the bus back to Odessa every day?"
The actor stopped talking after hearing this.
"You can choose to stay at the defense line for the night!" Pukarev said, "or walk back to the barracks!"
Of course the soldiers chose the latter, because at least they could have a good sleep on a dry bed to relieve fatigue when they returned to the military camp, otherwise they would have to stay in the mud and water in the position.
The main task of the troops on the middle line of defense is to build fortifications, including using equipment captured from the Romanian army and the German army.
The main task of the 9th Army is still the latter. The former is mostly completed by volunteers from Odessa. The soldiers only need to tell them what to do.
Shulka believes that these tasks are not very necessary, because it is unlikely that the German army will attack Odessa again, but Shulka does not know what the German army will do next.
Until the third day, when Shulka was directing his men to build fortifications, Major Gavrilov walked up to Shulka and said: "They have crossed the Dnieper River!"
"What?" Shulka was not sure what Major Gavrilov was talking about.
"The Germans and the Romanians!" Gavrilov said: "They did not retreat, but continued to advance eastward!"
"To the east?" Shulka asked doubtfully, "Then their supplies..."
"Southern Front!" Major Gavrilov said: "When they were attacked by the Germans, they didn't even have time to blow up the warehouses. There were other places... such as the transfer station. There were at least 20 large warehouses intact.
Falling into their hands, the Germans used this batch of supplies to complete their deployment!"
"They deployed their troops on the east bank of the Dnieper River?"
"Not exactly!" Gavrilov replied, then picked up a branch and drew a sketch on the ground: "Brest, Kiev, the Dnieper River... They used the Pripyat Swamp and the Dnieper River to
We have established a line of defense to the north!"
Then Shulka understood that after the German army had no hope of encircling Kiev, it hoped to cut off the Ukrainian army, mainly Kiev, from the center so that it could not reinforce other places.
other places……
Shulka turned his gaze to the center and said: "Moscow?"
"Yes, Moscow!" Major Gavrilov nodded: "They are targeting Moscow!"
Shulka secretly thought something was wrong.
The Battle of Moscow should have started in October, because by this time the German army had surrounded and annihilated the Soviet army in Kiev and successfully extracted it.
Then winter entered in early November... In fact, it was already cold and windy in October, and the snow on the ground reached 1 meter thick after November.
In other words, the cold winter came to Moscow just over a month after the German troops arrived in Moscow to launch their offensive. This was obviously one of the main reasons for the reversal of the final battle situation.
But it was only the end of July. Even if the German army was blocked by the Soviet army and did not arrive in Moscow until September, it would still be a full month longer than in history.
In one month, the German army also transferred the main force of Army Group South to the direction of Moscow, which may very well change the outcome of the Moscow Battle.
Thinking of this, Shulka's face suddenly turned pale.
He originally thought that using his historical knowledge to save Kiev and the Southwest Front would bring some positive impact to the war, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect!
However, even if he had to do it again, Shulka might choose to do it again.
Because he can't sacrifice himself to achieve victory in the defense of Moscow!
