BXBX NOVEL Chapter 607: Command
Once the phenomenon of deserters occurs and is not stopped in time, it is easy to cause a group reaction, and the 42nd Infantry Brigade is no exception.
On the other hand, because the German army defeated them, those who were still hesitating realized that if they did not escape, they would only lose their lives here.
The Soviet army fled roughly in two directions.
One direction is to escape along the Tsaritsa River.
This part is relatively stupid, because that is the direction of the German attack, which will not only make you always be chased by the German army, but also may break the defense of the next line of defense of the Soviet army.
The other direction is to run towards the wing building, which is the No. 5 warehouse.
Most of this part has become the reserve force of the Shulka cadet regiment.
Later Shulka heard that there was another episode:
Among the deserters controlled by Vavinovich after escaping to Warehouse No. 5, there was a battalion commander, captain and battalion commander... NKVD troops usually have a higher rank than combat troops, so that this battalion commander\'s rank is higher than that of the Shulka deputy regiment grow taller.
This is also one of the manifestations that the internal affairs force has more real power than the combat force. A high military rank provides them with a legitimate basis for commanding the combat force. That\'s why there is a strange incident where a small soldier from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is dictating the grassroots commander of the combat force. .
The captain and battalion commander of the 42nd Infantry Brigade also has this bad habit.
He was still in shock when he was stopped by Vavinovich and other mortar trainees. After a while, he suppressed the fear in his heart and started to think about it.
This captain named Dtrijevic knew what would happen to them as a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, especially as an officer who became a deserter... After the war, after the investigation, even if the soldier was fine, he, an officer, would be shot.
So, Detrijevic thought he should change this fate from two aspects.
One is to show bravery on the battlefield, so as to atone for the crime.
The other is that the fewer people who know the better, the better for yourself, especially those soldiers with Burbosa submachine guns... They are not my subordinates, it is difficult to control, and at the same time they are still people who prevent escape, keeping them will only make things worse bad.
For example, Dtrijevic can collude with his subordinates to describe this escape as a retreat. But with these outsiders, it is obviously impossible to achieve.
After thinking about it, Captain Detrijevic decided to regain command, so that he could operate without a trace.
There are many things like this on the battlefield. Too many people will use their power or system loopholes to cover up something at a critical moment of life and death.
So, Captain Detrijevic shouted to Vavinovich: "Second Lieutenant, gather your troops!"
Vavinovich couldn\'t help being taken aback. He didn\'t expect that the officer who was still running away and stopped just now turned around and gave himself an order.
"Sorry, Comrade Captain!" Vavinovich replied: "We are not under your command!"
Lieutenant Dtrijevic jumped up from the ground when he heard this, and shouted angrily to Vavinovich: "I want to remind you, second lieutenant! I am in command here, otherwise you should look at your rank ..."
"Oh, is that so?" Vavinovich interrupted the captain\'s words unceremoniously, and asked disdainfully, "Are you ordering us to escape?"
The soldiers of the mortar platoon couldn\'t help laughing.
This made Detrijevic\'s face turn red and white. He looked around at his subordinates, and was about to order them, but Vavinovich held his head with a submachine gun.
"Listen, Comrade Captain!" Vavinovich said: "You\'d better be honest, otherwise you will be the first deserter I executed. I won\'t be soft on you, agree?"
Detrijevic froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Vavinovich spat on the ground, and then said to the other deserters: "You better forget about your military rank. If this happens again, I will use it to tell you the answer!"
As he spoke, he clapped the submachine gun in his hand.
It should be said that Vavinovich is indeed a person who fights by intuition. His intuition tells him that he must use this extraordinary method to suppress these people at this extraordinary moment.
Otherwise, if you talk about military ranks and orders with them, you won\'t be able to fight against these large numbers of deserters, especially if they have an officer who is evil-minded and skilled in power tactics. More importantly, they have a common interest... to cover up their escape behavior .
It is easier for them to unite when they have common interests. This is human nature.
But this crisis was resolved by Vavinovich in a simple and rude way. After that, no one from the deserters of the 42nd Infantry Brigade dared to challenge Vavinovich\'s command, and Detrijevic also Sure enough, he was held accountable by his superiors as he estimated...Major General Batrakov sent a few people to Warehouse No. 5 that night, escorted Captain Detrijevic to the side of the road in front of everyone, and knelt down. On the ground, then drew a pistol, aimed it at the back of his head and pulled the trigger.
I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune. The body of Captain Dtrijevic remained on the side of the road for two days until a shell blew it into the sky.
These don\'t need Shulka to worry about.
At this time, he is commanding the sniper on the No. 5 warehouse.
The billowing smoke on the battlefield reduces visibility to a great extent, which is a double-edged sword for snipers, which has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that it is easier for snipers to hide themselves, especially snipers are still hiding in buildings, while the German army is exposed in the wilderness outside the buildings.
The disadvantage is that snipers are taboo to engage in close combat with the enemy, and visibility means that close combat is more likely.
However, this disadvantage is not valid for the sniper battle of the No. 5 warehouse, because the sniper platoon led by Shulka is more inclined to lead the enemy into the warehouse to fight... The first floor is a very empty granary, except for dozens of thick load-bearing columns and There are not many shelters outside the sandbags, tank wreckage and other debris piled up everywhere. It can be said to be a small training ground or even a battlefield.
Of course, this is all for later.
At this time Shulka found the German army who was attacking the No. 5 warehouse with the Soviet army in the smoke. They even rode three rounds...
Bian Sanlun is not strong in defense, but it is a mobile machine gun fire point. It not only has a high ammunition capacity, but also can provide fire support at any time, so the German army is used to using it to follow the infantry on the battlefield.
But of course, they won\'t go full throttle like in the movies, but slowly push forward with the infantry.
"Free fire!" Shulka ordered: "Watch out for your own people!"
"Free fire!" The correspondent immediately conveyed the order.
Then "bang bang" a few gunshots, and immediately several side three-wheeled machine gunners fell in a pool of blood.
They are the best targets for snipers.
