Chapter 573: standard

Chapter 573 Standards

This is indeed a best-of-both-worlds approach.

First of all, the role model of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, to be exact, the 5th Infantry Company still exists, and has even been further consolidated.

Secondly, it is the improvement of the morale of the "punishment battalions" of the various troops... There was no hope at all, even if they made meritorious service on the battlefield, they could only be regarded as "washing away shame with blood", let alone receiving any rewards, and they were not continued to be regarded as the motherland Traitors are fine.

But now, they have at least one way to go after their meritorious deeds, that is, they have the opportunity to enter the 82nd Infantry Regiment and become a normal unit.

This article is a bit ironic, because in name, the army actually has a "normal force" like the Fifth Infantry Company, but only the "normal force" of the 82nd Infantry Regiment is believed and accepted by the "punishment battalion".

While this is hard to do, there is at least a glimmer of hope.

There is no hope at all, no hope in sight, compared with a glimmer of hope, it is the difference from scratch.

So it can be imagined that this policy will definitely be welcomed by the "punishment camp".

Finally, even the troops embraced this policy.

Because in the previous situation, the troops needed to spend more energy to control and suppress the "punishment battalion" to perform high-risk tasks, and even be on guard against the "punishment battalion" to rebel.

After implementing this policy, not to mention completely eradicating this phenomenon, at least the pressure in this regard will not be as heavy as before, because "punishment camps" will be more or less subjective.

Sure enough, as soon as Golikov announced the order to the entire army, he immediately won the support of the entire army and there was almost no voice of opposition.

If there is any doubt, it is the price of "credit".

That is, how much "credit" is enough for a soldier of the "Punishment Battalion" to be recognized as "trusted" and then able to enter the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

"This standard can't be too high!" Krylov said: "Because if it is too high, the soldiers in the 'punishment battalion' will give up directly, and even think that we are fooling and deceiving them. To the reaction!"

Golikov nodded: "Of course it can't be too low, otherwise it means that there is no threshold, and they can all easily enter the 82nd Infantry Regiment!"

After thinking for a while, Krylov said: "Or, we will limit ourselves to killing at least one enemy!"

"Kill an enemy?"

"Yes!" said Krylov. "Either use their own blood or the blood of the enemy to wash away the shame... They can become 'trusted' after participating in at least one complete battle and successfully killing an enemy Soldiers and enter the 82nd Infantry!"

Krylov is indeed the treacherous chief of staff. "Killing an enemy" seems simple, but in fact it determines that you must go to the front line of the battlefield, which is the most dangerous place, otherwise you will not see the enemy at all How to kill the enemy.

And if the soldiers of the "Punishment Battalion" can take the initiative to go to the battlefield and devote themselves to "killing an enemy", this has basically met the requirements of the Soviet Army for the "Punishment Battalion".

What Krylov did not emphasize was that after going to the battlefield to participate in a normal battle, not many people could come back alive.

On the other hand, if everyone in the "punishment battalion" can kill an enemy, then of course it will be a safe profit for the Soviet army... The casualty ratio of the Soviet army to the German army can often reach three to one or even higher. If a "punishment battalion" soldier can kill an enemy, what's the point of making him a normal soldier? !

Again, no one has an issue with this standard.

So, the words of Krylov quickly spread in the "Punishment Camp": "Either use your own blood, or use the blood of the enemy to wash away the shame!"

As a result, the entire 62nd Army was like a shot in the arm, and everyone rushed to the battlefield, especially the "punishment battalion".

On the side of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, first of all, the soldiers who escaped and came to "seek refuge" cheered... They were more or less worried that they would be punished for their behavior, and they were not completely relieved until now.

Then naturally, Shulka organized these people into the fifth infantry company.

Mikhailvich originally had a different opinion on this point.

"I think the Fifth Infantry Company has too many people to command!" Major Mikhailvich handed the statistics to Shulka, and said: "They still have 172 people, and this group will return to 200 people." The size of a multiplayer reinforcement company. Why don't we split them into two companies?"

"We could divide them into two companies, but I don't think it is now, Comrade Mikhailevich!" Shulka replied.

"Why? You mean to divide them later?" Major Mikhailvich asked suspiciously, "But what's the difference?"

"The difference is whether they feel the atmosphere of the 5th Infantry Company!"

When Shulka said this, Major Mikhailvich understood.

It is not easy to subdue a unit and trust each other, which is the main reason why other units have been unable to successfully replicate the 5th Infantry Company.

Now, if the newly recruited "deserters" are organized into a new army, then this new army needs to be subdued by Shulka again.

But if they are first organized into the Fifth Infantry Company and trained with the Fifth Infantry Company, then they will soon understand the growth history of the Fifth Infantry Company and everyone's feelings.

Especially the unwritten rule of the 5th Infantry Company: lynching.

After a long time, these new recruits will soon be assimilated by the model and atmosphere of the Fifth Corps... They are all "deserters", and they are also degenerates walking on the edge of death and being abandoned, so there must be a lot of common language, and of course there are similar It is certain that life feelings will affect each other.

This is actually the spirit and belief of an army, or it can also be said to be the inheritance and military soul.

One day, when they have been assimilated by the 5th Infantry Company, it will not be a big problem to divide them into two companies.

They can even continue to influence others with this style.

"So!" Shulka said: "We will not only weave them together, but also let them fight a few battles on the battlefield!"

Mikhailvich nodded in agreement.

Training is one thing, fighting is another.

Training is a bit like talking but not doing, that is, you can say whatever you want to increase the requirements, and sometimes even bragging is allowed to boost morale.

And on the battlefield, it is "it is the donkey or the horse out for a walk", the recruits will really feel how the soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Company fight on the battlefield, and know what they said before It's all true.
