Chapter 636 Methods

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! I have been busy here and there recently, and I am almost tired. The reasons are various! I feel very sorry for you brothers. I will work hard tomorrow to update more! Thank you! Happy holidays again hapiness!

************

The would-be deserters were shot one by one, with their hands and knees tied behind their backs, their heads shattered by bullets from behind at close range, and their brains exploded and they died miserably.

The straight line of corpses was nearly three kilometers long... More than two hundred people lined up could not actually line up for three kilometers, but in order to have a better deterrent effect, Khrushchev ordered them to be separated by ten kilometers from each other. rice execution, so it looks like a long row, which makes people look a little creepy.

In fact, not only looking at it, but also thinking about it carefully, Khrushchev is making full use of these "quasi-deserters", even if they are dead. This kind of thinking makes people feel that Khrushchev has never started from the "same kind". Look at these "quasi-deserters" from a different perspective.

This approach was indeed effective. Immediately, the phenomenon of "cutting corners" on the battlefield disappeared, and combat effectiveness and morale were immediately significantly improved. This can be seen from the overall slowdown of the German advance speed.

But Khrushchev was not satisfied with this.

"The reason why I support your tactics is because I know that Stalingrad has insufficient troops!" Khrushchev said to others in the headquarters in a cold tone: "The Germans have been blocking our supply lines. From Stalingrad to the Volga River and then to the east bank, just yesterday, we had a warehouse storing tens of thousands of tons of supplies that was blown up by the enemy. In addition, transportation lines and ports were damaged to a certain extent... So, You are right. Under such circumstances, if we continue to charge regardless of sacrifice as before, it is not difficult to imagine that our limited troops will soon be exhausted and Stalingrad will fall into the hands of the enemy!"

No one dared to speak because they all knew that what Khrushchev said would not be that simple.

Sure enough, Khrushchev glanced at everyone and then continued: "However, this does not mean that we can stop the Germans, nor does it mean that we have the advantage..."

Khrushchev slammed his hands on the table and emphasized his tone: "The enemy is attacking us every second, the front is constantly advancing towards us, and we are retreating. Do you understand? Comrades... Although I believe that in the end Victory will be ours, but now we are losing Stalingrad!"

Although these words are somewhat contradictory, "I believe victory belongs to us" and "Stalingrad is being lost."

But Shulka and everyone else knew what Khrushchev was talking about.

"Victory belongs to us" is a matter of belief and stance.

"Losing Stalingrad" is the reality that is happening now.

In order to achieve the belief that "victory belongs to us", we must change the reality that "Stalingrad is being lost".

"Comrade Golikov!" Khrushchev looked at Golikov and said: "You are the commander of Stalingrad, and you have performed well since the defense of Stalingrad. At least you led the troops to stand firm here. Heel, I want to hear your thoughts!"

"Comrade Political Commissar..." Golikov thought for a moment awkwardly, and then hesitantly answered: "I think we can start with supplies..."

"Yes, supplies!" Khrushchev continued: "The Germans block our transportation and restrict our supplies! If they blow up a railway, we will repair a railway; if they blow up a port, we will build another port.

This way we can put more troops and equipment into Stalingrad and ultimately win, right?"

"Yes, Comrade Political Commissar!" Golikov replied excitedly: "That's what I want to say..."

"We have already done this, Comrade Golikov!" Khrushchev interrupted Golikov.

Obviously, Golikov was happy too early.

"Everyone will think of this, as long as he is not a fool!" Khrushchev was unceremonious and completely ignored Golikov's face in front of his subordinates. In fact, except for a limited number of people, Khrushchev did not need to care about others.

face.

"Everyone knows!" Khrushchev continued to reprimand the ashen-faced Golikov: "To truly regain the initiative in supply, we must gain air superiority, and we have no advantage in the air. Comrade Golikov

! And you, as the commander of the Army Group and the commander of Stalingrad, actually only think of the methods that everyone would think of, the things we are already doing, but you call them suggestions!"

With that said, Khrushchev glanced at the others coldly and asked: "Do you have any other ideas? What I need are tactics and methods, understand? Otherwise, I don't understand you and those who were shot.

What’s the difference between a traitor and a traitor?”

These words immediately made the atmosphere in the headquarters tense... If there is no difference, does it mean that these "wastes" in the headquarters can also be shot?

Akimovich mustered up the courage to stand up and replied: "Comrade Political Commissar, I think... we should give full play to Comrade Shulka's tactics and transport troops on a large scale through underground pipelines to the enemy's rear to harass them, making it difficult for the enemy to attack from head to tail.

Gu!"

The reason why Akimovich wanted to mention Shulka was that on the one hand he was unwilling to take credit, and on the other hand he was using a trick... He wanted to use this to draw Khrushchev's attention to Shulka again.

.

Because Akimovich knew that if anyone could come up with a plan that satisfied Khrushchev, then this person would be Shulka.

"Didn't we do this before?" Khrushchev asked: "I know this, Comrade Major, this is one of the reasons why you were able to hold Stalingrad and put the enemy in trouble. But... I don't know that it is also

Proposed by Comrade Shulka!”

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Shulka and asked: "Do you agree with the major's statement?"

From this point of view, Akimovich succeeded. He successfully diverted Khrushchev's attention to Shulka.

"No, Comrade Political Commissar!" Shulka replied: "It worked very well in the early stage, but as the battle deepened, the Germans moved step by step, and every inch of land occupied would be thoroughly searched and blasted or sealed.

Exit. In addition, the enemy has basically figured out the direction of the underground pipelines, so it is difficult for us to use underground pipelines for sneak attacks as before!"

Khrushchev nodded and said: "Then, tell me what you think, Comrade Shulka! I hope your thoughts are different from others, otherwise... I think you should not stay here to direct the battle, but should

Stay with the frontline soldiers and experience their feeling of hanging by a thread!"

Everyone has set their sights on Shulka, including Golikov. (To be continued)
