Chapter 501 Organization

"Hospital and school?" Golikov couldn't help being taken aback, remembering the bombing of these two places by the German army, so he asked, "What's going on?"

"Comrade General!" Pozharsky replied: "Our regimental commander found that Mamayev Kurgan was in danger of being surrounded. In order to break the siege and relieve the pressure on Mamayev Kurgan, we decided to penetrate into the German interior and occupy Hospitals and schools cut off the German retreat!"

"Break into the interior and occupy hospitals and schools?" Golikov was puzzled:

"How can you do it?"

"The sewers, Comrade General!" Pozarsky explained: "We moved from the sewers to the hospital, we have successfully occupied the hospital, and then the school... Now the Germans should be attacking them!"

Golikov asked suspiciously: "Who is your commander?"

"Major Mikhailvich, Comrade General!"

Golikov looked blank, he had never heard of this name.

Pozharsky then said: "You must know our deputy commander, his name is Shulka, the 'breakout hero' Shulka!"

Golikov's eyes lit up involuntarily: "Shuerka, you mean to say that he led the troops to occupy the hospital?"

It is not surprising that Golikov did not know that Shulka was in Stalingrad. He had been leading the 62nd Army to deploy and fight outside the city, while the 82nd Infantry Regiment was active in the tractor factory. The two had almost no contact.

"Yes!" Pozharsky replied: "These are Comrade Shulka's plans, I hope... nothing wrong with this, Comrade General!"

"No, you did nothing wrong!" Golikov replied, and then ordered around: "Put down the gun, your own people!"

After a pause, Golikov asked Pozharsky: "How can I get in touch with them!"

"Telephone!" Pozharsky replied: "We have the telephone line!"

So, the 82nd Infantry Regiment was considered to have found an organization at this time.

"Comrade Shulka!" Golikov asked on the phone: "What's the situation now?"

Shulka asked puzzledly: "Who are you? Where's Pozharsky?"

"He is next to me!" Golikov said: "I am Golikov, commander of the 62nd Army, and I just learned about your situation!"

Shuerka looked at Mikhailvich, who was busy commanding the troops beside him, motioned for him to come over, and whispered: "Army Commander Comrade Golikov is on the phone!"

Mikhailvich's eyes lit up immediately, which meant that the 82nd Infantry Regiment could be integrated into the army to fight together, and the time was just right.

"Comrade Golikov!" Shulka reported: "We have occupied the main buildings of the hospital and the school. The Germans are gathering troops to lay siege to us, but please rest assured that we will hold here!"

"You have done a good job, Comrade Shulka!" Golikov could not restrain his excitement in his tone: "To be honest, this surprised me! You are the real heroes!"

Golikov spoke the truth.

In fact, Golikov felt even more ashamed at this moment, because not long ago, as the commander of the Army Group and the commander-in-chief of Stalingrad, he was helpless against the enemy's attack. Not only that, he also lost confidence in the defense and only wanted to retreat. .

The reason is that he thinks this is a battle that is impossible to win.

But now, after knowing that Shulka and others raided the hospital and school and succeeded, hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

At the same time, Golikov also felt ashamed, because a deputy commander, a captain, only commanded an army of more than a thousand people and defeated the German army. The German army was defeated and even lost confidence.

"Comrade Shulka!" Golikov asked: "How do you want us to cooperate with you?"

"Don't open those machines!" Shulka said: "I mean the factory's drainage system, otherwise our escape route and supply line will be cut off!"

Golikov laughed: "Of course, Comrade Shulka! I am not a fool. If anyone wants to open those machines, I will shoot him without hesitation!"

Speaking of Golikov, he turned his eyes to Lemonkov.

Lemenkov shuddered, and immediately became half a head shorter.

Pozharsky whispered next to him: "I said, Comrade Factory Director, we are not what you imagined!"

"You told me that it was Shulka, the 'breakout hero', who asked you to do this, so there wouldn't be so many troubles!" Lemenkov complained.

"You actually met him!" said Pozarsky.

"I've seen him?" Lemonkov was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head in denial, "No, if I had seen him, I would have recognized him!"

Pozarsky shrugged helplessly, and then fell silent.

On the contrary, Lemonkov couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "When did I see him?"

"You forgot? He handed you a cigarette!" Pozharsky said, "And then ordered me to put the gun on your head!"

Lemenkov opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time: "You mean... that hateful and uneducated guy is Shulka?"

"Hey, be careful, Comrade Factory Director!" Pozharsky reminded: "He is our deputy head, and he is also a 'breakout hero'!"

Once Pozharsky said this, Lemonkov shut up.

At this time, although Shulka was not trusted by the top Soviet army, his reputation among the people was still quite good.

In fact, Shulka's reputation among the people can no longer be described as "good", and his position in the hearts of the people is almost unshakable. One of the reasons why the high-level Soviet army did not dare to act rashly even though they suspected Shulka.

"Are there any other requests, Comrade Shulka?" Golikov asked.

"Don't let them take Mamayev's post, Comrade General!" Shulka said: "Otherwise, we will be on two sides!"

"I think so too!" Golikov agreed.

"Also, I think we can make good use of the sewers to fight the enemy!" Shulka said: "It will make the enemy hard to defend!"

"Drawings for the sewer..."

"We left it in the headquarters of the tractor factory!" Shulka said: "There are maps of other buildings!"

"Well done!" Golikov praised: "This is very important to us!"

After putting down the phone, Shulka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If the 82nd Infantry Regiment was fighting alone before this, it has now become a part of the Soviet army.

On the other hand, Shulka believes that he has initially achieved his strategic goal, which is to awaken the confidence of others.

At least for Golikov.
