BXBX NOVEL Chapter 678: Denisokov
"Yes, Comrade Commissar!" Shulka replied.
At this time, he knew that this was beyond his power to change. Even if he refused to join these "baby soldiers", they would soon become members of other troops and go to the battlefield.
"I have something to ask you, Comrade Shulka!" Viktorovich leaned in front of Shulka and said, "My son admires you very much, and it is also his request to join your army. He usually does not contradict his superiors." Yes, I saw you rejecting them just now, so I was anxious!"
Shuerka glanced at the little guy who stood in front of him a few times, and then replied: "I understand, Comrade Political Commissar, I will try my best to take care of him!"
"No, Comrade Shulka!" Viktorovich said: "I mean, I hope you can have him with you, for example, as a guard and orderly!"
Shuerka couldn\'t help being taken aback, and then objected: "But Comrade Commissar, it\'s usually dangerous to stay by my side!"
What Shulka said was not a lie. At this time, the Soviet army also emphasized that the commander personally went to the front line to fight with his subordinates... This is very similar to the German army, especially for officers at the regimental level and below.
However, the reasons why the commanders of the Soviet and German armies came to the front in person were slightly different.
The German army is said to be Guderian who created a precedent for the armored commander to command on the front line. On the one hand, it is to boost morale, and on the other hand, the German army launched a "blitzkrieg". soon.
If the commander is commanding from the rear, it is very likely that the opportunity will be missed due to communication problems.
The Soviet army, more because of the poor quality and training of soldiers, is easy to form large-scale deserters. The commander\'s presence on the front line is to "sit in charge" and take the lead to set an example.
Not to mention a regiment commander like Shulka...the battle they are about to fight will be interspersed, and the communication equipment of the Soviet army is very backward. own troops.
So, it is indeed more dangerous to stay with Shulka. Shulka originally wanted to arrange Denisokov to work in the headquarters or generally not to go directly to the front-line charge of the cooking squad.
"I know, Comrade Shulka!" Viktorovich said. "But he hopes to learn something from you, doesn\'t he? Denisokov?"
Saying that, Viktorovich shook his head at his son.
Denisokov understood, and immediately stepped forward to salute Shulka, stood up and said: "Comrade Shulka, I am willing to obey any order you have unconditionally! Please give me dedication to the motherland, to the army, and to Comrade Stalin." Opportunity!"
"He can take care of himself!" Viktorovich nodded solemnly at Shulka: "I\'ll leave him to you, don\'t have any psychological pressure, I know... something will happen on the battlefield at any time! If One day... I won\'t blame you, understand?"
"Yes, Comrade Commissar!" Shulka replied.
At that moment Shulka was a little confused.
He didn\'t believe that the political committee had arranged his son in the most dangerous place.
Of course, this does not rule out that the political commissar did something for show... He knew that Shulka was reused by Khrushchev, so he arranged his son next to Shulka and followed Shulka to charge into the battle. In Khrushchev\'s ears, this would soon become a model for father and son in battle, and newspapers would soon report it and use it to inspire others.
but…
He did pull his son into the battlefield and put him on the front line of danger. If he can do this, he can\'t say it\'s a show, because it\'s a life-threatening one. Anyone who wants to make this show can try it.
"Come with me!" After Viktorovich left, Shulka nodded to Denisokov.
It can’t be seen that Denisokov is still very diligent. He washes military uniforms, wipes guns, communicates, boils water, cooks, and even serves Shulka when he is tired and wants to go to bed. Divide warm foot bath water.
Prior to this Shulka had guards, but never a separate orderly.
In fact, battalion-level commanders should have orderlies. The purpose of assigning orderlies is to allow commanders to devote more time to commanding the troops instead of wasting too much time due to personal life problems.
The problem is that this is a time of war. On the one hand, the Soviet army’s organization was very chaotic during this period, and on the other hand, soldiers lived and died too frequently. Every day, they considered how to survive on the battlefield. I rarely think about personal hygiene or enjoyment... For example, in Stalingrad, even if you want to do laundry or soak your feet, you can do it.
Until now, Shulka finally feels that he is a bit of a "leader".
"I heard you had military training?" Shulka asked Denisokov while soaking his feet.
"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Denisokov replied: "I studied at the General Staff Academy of the Workers\' and Peasants\' Red Army for one year and two months, and was drafted into the army because of the needs of the motherland!"
After staying in the Soviet Union for so long, Shulka also knows something about this Academy of the General Staff of the Red Army of Workers and Peasants. It is the predecessor of the famous "Frunze Military Academy". It has trained many famous generals and is a place to train high-level commanders. (Note: The Academy of the General Staff of the Red Army of Workers and Peasants was renamed Frunze Military Academy after the disintegration of the Soviet Union)
"You should be an officer!" Shulka said.
Although Denisokov is too young to command a regular army, being a commander in "Baby Soldiers" is not a problem.
But that\'s exactly what Denisokov didn\'t want.
"Become an officer in the boot camp?" Denisokov replied: "No, Comrade Shulka, I don\'t think I can grow into a qualified fighter there!"
Shulka shook his head slightly.
Qualified fighter? What does it take to be a qualified fighter? !
Have you killed enough enemies, or can you stand alone?
If it’s just these, it’s the same everywhere, as long as they can survive the next month’s battle, they can become a qualified fighter.
But I don\'t know if it\'s a good thing or a bad thing, because when they become qualified fighters, they seem to have lost the youthful time that should have belonged to them... At that time, even though they were still young, their thoughts had faded. Turned into a youth.
