"Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka, who was commanding at the front line, shouted on the phone: "The enemy's firepower is very fierce. Their 88MM artillery fires far and accurately. It is difficult for us to get close to them! We are not sure how many they have.
The strength of the troops, I don’t know if they are tanks..."
"Surround them!" Shulka interrupted Andrianka and said: "From all directions, then launch a charge! Use the fourth battalion as the main offensive force and let them charge in amphibious landing craft!"
Andrianka was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Yes" and followed Shulka's order to deploy.
The reason Andrianka was surprised was that Shulka was rarely as "reckless" on the battlefield as he was now... directly choosing to violently encircle and charge a large scale without knowing the enemy.
But as the saying goes, troops are unpredictable, power and water are unpredictable. Sometimes a simple and crude large-scale charge is still very effective.
For example, now, Shulka's judgment is that Viktorovich's intelligence is accurate, which means that the enemy is actually poorly prepared and has insufficient troops. At this time, it is just using a few anti-aircraft guns to block the main traffic routes.
In this case, you should quickly cut through the mess and attack from multiple directions to make the enemy focus on one thing and miss the other. Otherwise, once they wait for them to gain a foothold or lose their morale, it will be troublesome to deal with them.
Sure enough, under Shulka's strategy, the 8th Infantry Regiment entered the train station with just one charge and started a street battle with the enemy.
The first one to rush into the train station was the 4th Infantry Battalion as the main offensive battalion... There is no doubt that the land was muddy at this time and it was difficult to maneuver. At the same time, the enemy deployed defenses along railways and highways, barbed wire fences, mines, roadblocks, and firepower.
All piled on roads and railways.
The amphibious landing craft can easily advance from off-road areas because of its lightness and flexibility. More importantly, it can carry a considerable amount of ammunition to follow the troops, which can exponentially reduce the difficulty of replenishment on muddy ground.
The troops rushed into the train station and started a street battle, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion.
This is not only because there are many Soviet soldiers, but also because most of the 8th Infantry Regiment were pulled out of the Battle of Stalingrad, and street fighting is commonplace for them.
On the contrary, the Romanian army and even the German anti-aircraft artillery units may not know what street fighting is.
However, at this moment, Shulka issued an unexpected order.
"Send the new battalion up!" Shulka said, then raised his head to Denisokov: "You come up with them too!"
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov responded, grabbed his rifle and joined the new camp.
Everyone, including the soldiers in the recruit camp, knew that Shulka wanted to take this opportunity to give the recruit camp a chance to practice.
The issue is……
"Is it too early to engage in actual combat?" Mikhailovich worriedly walked to Shulka who was observing with a telescope.
"There will always be a first time!" Shulka said: "Conscious and controlled exercise now is better than a sudden situation!"
This is true. No one knows what will happen on the battlefield, and it is impossible to keep the recruit battalion following the second line. Especially at this time, the mission of the 8th Infantry Regiment is still to implement insertion, and the recruit battalion may suffer at any time.
Accident.
On the battlefield, the new barracks were spreading out and approaching several buildings. The buildings were distributed on both sides of the railway. Several abandoned abandoned carriages were scattered around. It was quiet everywhere, and the enemy seemed to have withdrawn.
This is also the reason why Shulka arranged for the new barracks to attack in this direction. Compared with other positions, it is controllable because the regiment's artillery company has already aimed several artillery pieces at those carriages and buildings. Once there is enemy resistance, they will immediately
They will suppress them, and the worst case scenario is to blow them up.
In addition, Shulka also transferred a dozen snipers from the 5th Infantry Battalion and divided them into several groups to lock down those buildings. There was almost no danger and they were just for training for the new recruit camp.
Of course, no battlefield is without danger.
But it is because of the danger that it can provide better training... The battlefield is the best school, which will allow the recruits to grow at a rocket-like speed.
If you don't grow, you will be "eliminated" by this school.
"Should we call Denisokov down?" Mikhailovich asked.
As the deputy commander, he knew Denisokov's identity, and he also knew that the reason why the 8th Infantry Regiment received so much "preferential treatment" was probably because of Denisokov.
"Of course not!" Shulka replied: "He is a warrior, a soldier. He is no different from anyone else, at least under my command!"
After hearing this, Mikhailovich said nothing more.
Grigovitch shouted in a hoarse voice and waved his hands: "Spread out, stay in formation! Pay attention to concealment!"
Under his command, the new barracks slowly moved towards several buildings, including even female soldiers.
This seems a bit strange, female soldiers go directly to the battlefield... usually they are medical soldiers, clerks or other support troops.
But now, they are attacking with rifles like everyone else... In fact, Shulka has long known that Soviet female soldiers will appear on the battlefield, and they will be used as male soldiers, along with snipers, pilots, etc.
But seeing these slender and frail female soldiers holding rifles on the battlefield was still a bit unaccustomed, and Shulka even had the urge to incorporate them into the logistics unit and put them on the second line.
But Shurka can't do this, because it is the order of superiors for female soldiers to join the front-line troops... If Shurka integrates them into the second-line troops, other troops will soon follow suit, and then the entire army will follow suit.
He is blatantly challenging the orders and systems of his superiors. This is something Shulka cannot bear the responsibility for.
With a "bang", a new recruit fell down, and Shulka heard several exclamations, as if someone was suddenly awakened from a dream.
The advancing formation of the recruit camp also stagnated obviously, and then one by one they raised their guns and looked for targets... This was a sign of insufficient training. At this time, they should lie down and take cover as soon as possible.
"Down! Down!" shouted Captain Grigovitch.
Before the recruits had time to react, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, and rows of bullets were fired from the building opposite. The soldiers in the recruit camp were caught off guard, and several of them fell down in an instant.
"Fire!" Shulka ordered.
With the roar of artillery shells, more than a dozen artillery shells "bombed" the building into a ball of flames. At the same time, snipers were desperately suppressing the enemy's firepower in the dark, finally giving the recruit camp time to breathe.
"Advance!" Captain Grigovitch shouted: "Capture them!" (To be continued)
