Chapter 463 Transfer

"Shuerka!" Mehlis jumped up from the chair when he saw Shurka, stepped forward to embrace Shurka enthusiastically, and said: "Our 'breakout hero', I am very glad that you Another successful mission!"

Mechlis had a smile on his face, and it was so natural that it looked like nothing had happened.

Shulka had thought about many possible attitudes of Mehlis towards him, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

"Thank you, Comrade Mekhlis!" Shulka replied: "This is all under your command..."

"No, no, no!" Mechlis spread his hands to the side and said, "Look, our hero is always so humble, what a valuable quality, isn't it?"

"Yes, Comrade Shulka!" Alexei continued: "You have given Comrade Mechlis a lot of useful suggestions, and you have contributed a lot. Being too modest can easily lead to misunderstanding!"

Shulka suddenly understood something, then nodded and replied: "Yes, Alexei, you reminded me that I did make a few suggestions to Mehlis, but...they were not complete!"

"It doesn't matter, Comrade Shulka!" Mechlis said: "You have made enough suggestions. They have played a very important role. Our command will improve them and then formulate a complete and detailed plan. battle plan and put it into practice!"

"Of course, Comrade Mekhlis!" Shulka said: "Isn't it the same in other battles?"

"You have advised many people before this, haven't you?"

"certainly!"

"You advised Lieutenant-Colonel Gavrilov, and Comrade Katukov, you were also General Kirponos's staff and formed a special guerrilla unit for him, and you even advised Comrade Zhukov made a suggestion!"

"Yes!"

"Now!" Mechelis spread his hands: "Comrade Shulka, with your suggestion, we successfully defeated the enemy and regained the Crimean Peninsula!"

Mechlis held Shulka's hand and said solemnly: "Thank you, Comrade Shulka! Thank you for your contribution to the Soviet Union. I will report your performance truthfully and apply for a Hero of the Soviet Union for you." medal!"

"Thank you very much, Comrade Mehlis!"

"No, you deserve it!" Mehlis smiled triumphantly.

Everything was rendered invisible by Mahlis.

Although Shulkati’s suggestion this time is fundamentally different from the usual ones… the commanders who accepted all the previous suggestions did not take the credit for themselves, and they did not try to cover up the fact that Shulkati suggested from the beginning.

Mechlis is different. From top to bottom, even in newspaper publications, all he talks about is his method.

But it is not easy for Mehlis to make this matter invisible.

First of all, his report to Stalin was still deceptive. Of course, Stalin would not be so stupid as to believe these nonsense of Mehlis.

Secondly, the situation on the battlefield needs to punish such a villain to appease the morale of the army.

So the next day, Mahlis and his assistants were forced to hand over command to Lieutenant General Kozlov, commander of the Crimean Front Army, and were then recalled to Moscow.

In the afternoon of that day, the news that Mahlis was reviewed and demoted to major general came out on the radio.

The soldiers cheered instantly, and many officers and soldiers even lifted Shulka who had returned to the army and threw it high into the air. Some of them even squeezed through the crowd and cried bitterly...

Shulka knew what was going on.

Many of them or their relatives and friends had the experience of being persecuted by Mahlis, directly or indirectly.

After all, Mehlis is the "king of small reports" and the director of the General Political Department. All kinds of arrests and censorship due to speeches, etc., have something to do with Mehlis.

At this point, they all regarded Shulka as the hero who defeated Mehlis and finished him.

But Shulka knew that Mehlis was far from downfall.

Now that such a situation occurs, it can be said that the Supreme Command is just showing off to the soldiers.

Even Shulka thinks that this may not be a good thing...Mehlis represents the Supreme Command, and the power in his hands can effectively integrate the various parts of the Soviet Union into a war machine.

Mechlis' shortcoming is incompetence, but Shulka can make up for it.

The end result is that Shulka's plan can be well executed, but now...

"Shulka!" At this moment, Katukov beckoned to Shulka to get into the car.

Shuerka started the car as soon as he got into the car.

Katukov's face was a little ugly, and he nodded weakly at Shulka.

Shuerka thought it was because Katukov insisted on commanding on the battlefield with a kidney, and it was normal for him to be physically exhausted.

"I didn't expect things to develop like this!" Katukov said.

"Yes!" Shulka replied.

Then Katukov passed a telegram to Shulka, saying: "You are now the deputy commander."

"The 333rd Infantry Regiment?" Shulka asked.

"No!" Katukov shook his head.

Shulka sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. The 1st Guards Tank Brigade had only one infantry regiment. If it wasn't the 333rd Infantry Regiment, it would mean that he would be transferred from the 1st Tank Brigade.

Shocked, Shulka opened the envelope and saw that there was a very strange number written on it: the 82nd Infantry Regiment of the 27th Infantry Division of the Third Army.

"82nd Infantry Regiment, what kind of unit is this?" Shulka asked suspiciously.

"The original Bryansk Front Army!" Katukov replied: "They are reorganizing the Bryansk Front Army!"

Then Shulka understood.

The Bryansk Front Army was surrounded and wiped out by the Germans in the Battle of Moscow, and even the designation of the Front Army Group Army was revoked.

But now, because of the needs of the operation, it will be reorganized and a line of defense will be built in the direction of Bryansk.

"I don't understand, Colonel!" Shulka asked: "Why can't I stay with the 1st Guards Tank Brigade?"

"You know, Shulka!" Katukov replied: "This is an order from the Supreme Command, because of the reaction of your subordinates!"

"The subordinate's reaction?"

Shulka didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it, he knew the reason.

Another taboo in the army is forming a party for personal gain.

Shulka's reputation in the 1st Guards Tank Brigade is too great, as before, the troops of the 1st Battalion will even oppose Mehlis for Shulka.

If this continues, the 1st Guards Tank Brigade will become the 1st Brigade of "Breakout Heroes" instead of the Soviet Union.

So, the best way is to remove Shulka from this unit.

Shuerka did not expect that the loyalty of his subordinates forced Shurka to leave the army.

Shulka looked behind the car window...his subordinates and comrades still didn't know about it.
