BXBX NOVEL Chapter 603: deployment
"Anatole is my teacher!" Zogtanov said as he sat down on the chair: "He told me about you when I visited him last month!"
Zogtanov looked like a deflated ball when he sat down, almost the same as when he had the operation just now.
It\'s not hard to see that he\'s almost worn out.
"Do you smoke?" Shulka took out a cigarette and asked.
"It\'s not suitable for smoking here!" Zogtanov stopped: "This is the basement, as you can see!"
"Sorry!" Shulka said and put away his cigarette. He thought Zogtanov needed cigarettes to relieve his fatigue.
"Tell me your reasons, Comrade Shulka!" Zogtanov said: "You may only have a few minutes!"
"I\'ve already said it!" Shulka replied: "After dawn, this place may be occupied by the enemy, and then it will be too late for you to retreat!"
Zogtanov smiled: "Do you know how far it is from the front line?"
"Eight hundred and twenty meters!" Vasily replied without thinking.
"So do you know how many meters the Germans advance every day?" Zogtanov asked again.
"Sometimes a few meters, sometimes tens of meters, hundreds of meters!" Vasily replied: "It\'s not sure!"
"So, you\'re still worried that the Germans will take over here tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded firmly.
Major General Batrakov, that fool, exposed the weakness of the 10th Division\'s insufficient strength.
Unless the German commander is also a fool, or he is naturally suspicious and thinks that it is the Soviets who are suspicious, otherwise of course he will take this opportunity.
"Okay, Comrade Shulka!" Zogtanov spread his hands: "Even if what you said is correct, we can\'t retreat at will without the order of our superiors, not to mention that retreating will increase the injuries of the wounded or other negative Influence. That said, I can\'t just be like this... I hope you understand!"
Saying that, Zogtanov made a gesture to see off the guests.
"I can understand, Comrade Zogtanov!" Of course Shulka was prepared for this, and he continued: "But you have the right to evacuate the seriously wounded, I mean... this is a simple hospital, you should put The wounded who can\'t handle it are sent to a better equipped hospital for treatment, aren\'t they?"
"We do this all the time!" Zogtanov replied: "But even more wounded are received than sent!"
"So, you need another field hospital!" Shulka said: "It can be used to temporarily park the wounded, or it can be a transfer station!"
Zogtanov was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Shulka\'s suggestion.
First of all, this is a matter within the purview of the field hospital, and Zogtanov can indeed do so as needed.
Secondly, this did not violate the orders of the superiors, because it did not retreat, but actually just added a temporary parking point.
Actually added two:
One is used to accommodate the seriously wounded who have just come down from the front line and they need initial care.
Another is used to contain the seriously wounded in preparation for evacuation.
These two containment points are also in the basement, because they must consider the problem of being attacked by the enemy after dawn.
The difference is that once an emergency occurs, the evacuation of the field hospital will change from the original one basement to three basements, which is obviously much faster.
"Also!" Shulka said again: "If I arrange the soldiers in the building for defense, you don\'t mind!"
"Of course I don\'t mind!" Zogtanov said: "I wish I could, as long as you don\'t interfere with our work!"
It is actually impossible not to interfere with the work of the field hospital, because the basement of the field hospital is a big support for the snipers...they need the basement as a hiding place.
This is one of the reasons why Shulka previously asked the field hospital to be evacuated.
But now, because Zogtanov turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it, the students can "do whatever they want."
Vassily named this warehouse No. 5 warehouse and arranged two platoons, one sniper platoon and one mortar platoon.
The reason why Warehouse No. 5 is so important is that it is just about one kilometer away from the Tsaritsa River, and it is open to the south, so you can directly observe the Tsaritsa River.
On the other hand, this warehouse is large and strong... Its original design was the granary of Station No. 2, and the concrete walls were built with thick concrete walls after considering factors such as fire prevention and air defense.
More importantly, the Tsaritsa River has turned a corner nearby. That is to say, if the enemy attacks along the Tsaritsa River, there will be a fairly long journey within the observation and firing range of the No. 5 warehouse.
The first thing Vasily did was blast through the walls and floors of the building, including the basement.
It took a lot of work, and it also made Shulka send a batch of explosives from the port... The floor of the No. 5 warehouse is almost half a meter thick.
When he heard explosions, Zogtanov came to find Shulka.
"Don\'t you want to blow up this building?" Zogtanov asked, he seemed to regret agreeing to Shulka and others to deploy in this building.
"No, of course not, Comrade Zogtanov!" Shulka replied: "They just opened a few channels for themselves?"
"aisle?"
"Yes!" Shulka replied: "We are going to turn it into a bunker extending in all directions. Then of course you cannot enter and exit through the door as usual, because this will expose yourself to enemy fire!"
In fact, the benefits are far more than this.
Another advantage is that the new hiding place will not be discovered by the enemy... If you enter and exit through the door, the enemy can clearly see which room the target enters.
The advantage of blasting through the floor is that you can quickly move up and down the floor without going through the stairs, which is also necessary for sniping in the building.
Zogtanov approached Shulka and said, "I heard that you are going to blow up a few holes in the basement?"
"Yes!" Shulka nodded.
"Are you sure there will be no problem with this?" Zogtanov said: "I hope you remember what I said, and it cannot affect our work!"
"Don\'t worry, Comrade Zogtanov!" Shulka comforted: "I promise there will be no problems, except for some noise..."
Just as I was talking, I heard a loud "boom" not far away, the basement shook, and several light bulbs were shattered. At the same time, there was a burst of smoke and dust in the basement. drilled in.
When they saw Shulka and others, they couldn\'t help being taken aback, and said, "Oh, has it been blown to the basement?"
