Chapter 532: sniper

Chapter 532 Sniper

The sniper is always hiding in the dark, so only Vasily looks for Shulka instead of Shulka looking for Vasily.

"I saw you withdraw your troops!" Vasily said.

"Yes, is there a question?" Shulka asked.

"No, of course there is no problem!" Vasily said: "I just think this is correct, but several suggestions have been ignored!"

Speaking of which, Vasily raised his head towards Mamayev Gang, and said: "Although you can see farther from the commanding heights, it is too small so that we don't have much room to move. The main reason for one defeat!"

Shulka can understand this, just like when Shulka met Vasily, Vasily even pretended to be a corpse and lurked at a position only a few tens of meters away from the enemy's line of defense...Due to the terrain, just look at it a little further away If you don't, of course you can't hit the enemy.

Obviously, this is very bad for snipers.

But on the contrary, if you take the initiative to give up the front **** or even the top of the mountain...then the top of the mountain will become a natural line of defense, and it can also become a hurdle that the enemy cannot cross, and the space for snipers to lurk will increase several times in an instant: From the beginning, extending five or six hundred meters backward can be a sniper's latent position.

"I can't convince them!" Vasily said: "But you can, you're a 'breakout hero', aren't you?"

Shuerka shook his head helplessly: "I have tried, but failed!"

Vassily nodded in understanding, with some helplessness in his eyes.

"Don't you need to obey their orders?" Shulka asked a little strangely.

"Of course not!" Vasily replied: "I was just ordered to reconnaissance! You know, our regiment is the reserve team for attacking Mamayev Gang!"

Shuerka's eyes flashed a few times, and he asked, "Just reconnaissance?"

"Oh, of course my hands are itchy!" Vasily laughed clearly after speaking.

The real Vasily is a bit different from the Vasily in the movie... The Vasily in the movie was a complete recruit when he entered Stalingrad. He didn’t even have a rifle. self defense.

But in fact, Vasily was a veteran of the naval shore crew before Stalingrad. He voluntarily applied to participate in the battle of Stalingrad, so of course it is impossible to be "poor".

"Perhaps you can continue to 'scout' in my army!" Shulka said: "I happen to have a team of 'scouts' like you in my team!"

As Shulka said, he called out to his subordinates who were sitting in the trench wiping their rifles: "Korodeyev!"

Koroteyev responded, and ran up to Shulka with his gun in hand.

Korodeyev is the commander of the sniper company formed by Shulka. Their main task is to cooperate with the 82nd Infantry Regiment in urban combat. Their battles in hospitals and schools have played a significant role.

But of course, Shulka knows that there is still a considerable gap between their level and a natural sniper like Vasily.

"This is Koroteyev!" Shulka introduced to Vasily: "Commander of the sniper company, I think you will have more topics!"

"Why not?" Vasily became excited, and he took the initiative to shake hands with Koroteyev: "My name is Vasily, nice to meet you!"

Shulka knew Vasily, though only for less than an hour.

He knew that people like Vasily often cared more about these things than what they could see on the battlefield... Corpses, blood, death, and even meritorious deeds and so on.

What they care more about is the feeling, the feeling of hiding in the dark and fighting wits with the target, and even enjoy this feeling, just like a chess player

So, if there is something that attracts him, of course it is the opportunity to improve or the environment to learn together.

The 82nd Infantry Regiment is such an environment, here is Shulka, and there is a sniper company.

And the other troops... As Vasily said, he made reasonable suggestions several times but was rejected, so that it was difficult for him to display his skills on the battlefield.

"Rest in place!" Then Shulka gave the order.

The 82nd Infantry Regiment has not rested for a long time, and now is an opportunity.

As soon as the soldiers heard this order, they lay down on the spot and fell asleep.

Shuerka found a place to sit down, leaned his backpack against the side of the trench as a pillow, yawned and looked towards the white belly in the east, knowing that the time to rest might be less than an hour.

Shulka was right.

Not long after closing his eyes, Shulka was awakened by a violent explosion, and at the same time there were waves of "Stuka" bombers whistling in the air.

It was dawn, and this was the moment the Germans were waiting for.

In principle, this is still the rest time for the 82nd Infantry Regiment, because they are on the reverse slope, the forward **** and the hilltop position are blocked by the 39th Guards Infantry Regiment.

However, most of the soldiers of the 82nd Infantry Regiment are recruits. Although they have fought a few fierce battles, they only participated in the battle for a few days.

Shuerka just opened his eyes and took a look, then changed the angle and continued to sleep.

If nothing can be changed, why not give yourself a little rest?

Mikhailvich couldn't bear it any longer. He ran down the trench to Shulka and asked, "Aren't we going to do something?"

"Is there anything we can do?" Shulka asked back.

It is true that nothing can be done. They have tried their best and hoped to get the command of Mamayev Gang, but not only did they not get it, they almost let others "command".

For the wrong tactics, it is impossible for the 82nd Infantry Regiment to become a wrong part at the cost of their own lives, so this has caused the current situation.

Mikhailvich sighed, and said: "These idiots, why don't they understand that we want to take command only to save their lives!"

Andrianka, who just ran up, said, "They will only understand if they pay the price!"

"It's fine if they can understand after paying the price!" Shulka said: "I'm afraid they still won't understand by then!"

Shulka's words are not groundless.

The fact is that the Soviet army still failed to recognize their mistakes in repeated failures. They would attribute the problem to other aspects... For example, what the commanders often say is "the soldiers are not brave enough"!

"Did someone contact the command?" Shulka asked.

"Of course!" Mikhailvich replied: "But it will take time, and I hope their losses will not be too great by then!"

The idea is good, but Shulka knows that reality is often cruel.
