It's rare that I can get through the ideological work of the deputy instructor, and the next step will be much easier.
After two days of preparation, Shulka started the first lesson for the teaching group... Due to time constraints, the guerrillas had already started training in small groups while Shulka was training the teaching group.
The training subjects mainly include sniper, demolition, mines, reconnaissance, etc.
The main thing is blasting, that is, learning the relevant knowledge of various explosives... It is easy to understand that their main task in the future is to blow up railways, bridges, warehouses, etc.
This may seem like a simple matter, just strap some explosives on and detonate them.
But in fact, it is "a layman's way of watching the excitement, but an expert's knowledge of the door." It may not be difficult to blow up a railway, but bridges, warehouses or important buildings... If you don't know the relevant knowledge or don't know basic blasting knowledge, you may not be able to blow it up.
Focus and lack of destructive power.
Training in this area is not a big problem. Major Varenka arranged for dozens of experienced engineers to go down... These engineers are all experts in demolition. They are very good at using various explosives, landmines, etc. to teach these guerrillas.
It's more than enough.
What Shulka had to do was to correct the thinking of the instructors, and then use these instructors to reverse the thinking of the guerrillas.
"Comrades!" Shulka walked into the conference room where the teaching team was located and started the first class. The deputy instructor, Major Gavrilov and others were also listening. They needed to know the process and direction of the training.
"I know you fought bravely!" Shulka said: "This is one of the reasons why you came here. We may have even fought together on the battlefield!"
Shulka was right. When the 9th Mechanized Army broke out from Kiev, some of its officers and soldiers were responsible for opening the gap.
The officers and soldiers in the audience had more or less proud smiles on their faces.
As the saying goes, "Flattery is worth a thousand wears." For a soldier, the best flattery is "honor."
However, Shulka changed the topic: "But, I need you to forget the previous combat methods, everything, including the way you train your own team in the future!"
There was a moment of astonishment on the faces of the officers and soldiers. It took a while before someone asked: "Why, Comrade Second Lieutenant?"
"You must have heard of the German 'Blancenburg' troops!" Shulka asked.
"Yes of course!"
"What we want to form is a force like this!" Shulka said.
"But we don't know German!" an officer asked doubtfully: "The Germans have to learn Russian and our habits to sneak in..."
"We don't need to learn German!" Shulka said: "Comrades, we are an invaded country, and the Germans are fighting on our land! Of course, this is not something worth showing off, but we have an advantage. We
You can blend in among the common people and perform tasks!"
The members of the teaching team couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this. They knew what kind of army this was.
Major Gavrilov couldn't help but nodded secretly when he heard these words.
Shulka was "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude." What he said to the deputy instructor was different from what he said to the teaching team and even the examples he gave were different.
For political workers like the deputy instructor...you must know that they usually do things like setting up spies, so they have a good understanding of spies and agents. Using them as examples makes the deputy instructor feel the same.
In fact, Shulka originally wanted to use political workers' "snitching" as an example: Can you stand up openly and "move forward without fear of sacrifice" without hiding your spies?
But of course Shulka can't say that.
Using spies and agents can bypass this awkward point very well, and the deputy instructor can also understand it.
As for the members of the training group in the conference room who were selected from the army, if you say "spies, agents" to them, although they will know it, they will have no idea at all.
But as long as the German "Blancenburg" troops are mentioned... this is what they hate deeply, especially in the early days of the Soviet-German war, the German "Blancenburg" troops always penetrated into the Soviet army first.
Then obtain intelligence, seize bridges, warehouses, traffic arteries, attack enemy headquarters, etc. to ensure that subsequent armored forces can pass quickly.
What the Soviet army hates the most is that the German "Blaffenburg" troops would disguise themselves as Soviet officers, and then "go to the battlefield in person" to give orders to the frontline troops during the war... Soviet soldiers with no combat experience were like fools.
Take orders and be surrounded, cut, and captured.
As the saying goes, "learning from the pain", they had just been hit in the battle and their wounds had not yet healed. Of course, they knew what kind of troops like the "Blaffenburg" were, so they quickly had a direction.
"Another difference between us and the 'Brannenburg' forces is..." Shulka continued: "Their goal is to cooperate with the offensive of the armored forces and follow-up forces, so they have to ensure the safety of bridges, railways and other facilities.
And our goal is to attack their logistics and slow down their progress, so our goal is to destroy bridges, roads, railways, their warehouses and other facilities, is that clear?"
"Yes, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" The members of the teaching team nodded.
This is not difficult to understand, although those railways and roads are all Soviet.
Now comes the key point...
"In order to better complete these tasks! I hope you can remember these few sentences and then implement them into the battle against the enemy!"
As he spoke, Shulka wrote a few lines on the blackboard: "When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
This is the sixteen-character formula for guerrilla warfare.
Its core is actually one: don't conflict with the enemy head-on.
This is of course correct. The guerrillas have few people, few guns, and poor combat effectiveness. They are only suitable for dispersed operations and accumulating small victories into big ones. They are not suitable for hard battles with the enemy.
But if Shulka told the members of the teaching team this way, it would be difficult to understand and remember.
But the Sixteen-Character Secret of Guerrilla Warfare is much simpler... It is a specific tactic that specifically explains what to do when the enemy attacks, what to do when the enemy stops to rest, etc.
In particular, it is convenient for memory, so that even on a tense battlefield, you will not forget it and then rush into it... However, the Soviets often do this, and Shulka is not sure whether they can understand its essence.
But the main problem is not here.
"Comrade Second Lieutenant!" At this time, an officer asked suspiciously: "If you do this, what will you do if you are deemed a deserter?"
Shulka turned his attention to the deputy instructor. Now is the time for him to play his role.
