Chapter 743 Reservoir

"You are crazy, Shulka!" Zolotarev reprimanded Shulka, and then loudly stopped the messenger: "Don't cancel the mission! This is mine..."

Shulka pushed the muzzle of the gun **** Zolotarev's head, forcefully forcing his next words back.

"Don't dare, Shulka! Put down the gun, and I'll pretend nothing happened!" Although Zolotarev said so, he still felt a little guilty when facing Shulka's murderous eyes.

"You don't understand the battlefield, Comrade Zolotarev!" Shulka stared into Zolotarev's eyes and said viciously: "If I don't do this, tens of thousands of my soldiers will die on the battlefield! Give me a reason not to pull the trigger!"

Zolotarev fell silent when Shulka said this.

Shulka is right, it is death anyway, pulling the trigger will only kill two people at most, and tens of thousands of people will die if the trigger is not pulled, and it will even lead to the failure of the entire battle. Shulka has no reason not to pull the trigger .

While Zolotarev was silent, Trufanov gave the order to the communications soldiers again.

This time the communicators did not hesitate anymore, picked up the phone and shouted: "Mission cancelled, repeat, mission canceled!"

"Mission cancelled! All offensive missions of all units are cancelled!"

…

The order was transmitted to the headquarters, and the headquarters then conveyed the order to the prepared artillery, tank soldiers, and infantry, so it went smoothly, and everyone received the order.

At this time, the hands of the watch pointed to the artillery preparation time at six o'clock.

Seeing that the sound of the cannon did not arrive as expected, Shulka was relieved.

Trufanov walked up to Shulka, looked at Zolotarev, and said: "I hope you are right, Shulka!"

Shulka understood what Trufanov meant.

Shulka held a gun to the head of the political commissar.

And when Trufanov issued the order of "mission cancellation" just now, he actually stood on Shulka's side and became Shulka's "accomplice".

Now, the only way to exonerate the two is Shulka's method.

"Don't worry!" Shulka replied, then put away his pistol and said to Zolotarev: "Comrade Commissar, let's have a good talk now!"

Zolotarev glanced at Trufanov and Shulka, as if he was estimating whether he could control the situation immediately and arrest the two.

But he gave up the idea when he saw Shulka holding a pistol at his waist... Zolotarev knew that he was no match for Shulka, Shulka was right in front of him, not to mention whether the surrounding guards Will obey his order to arrest the two, even if the guard obeys the order, no one can stop Shulka from drawing the gun and aiming the gun at his head again.

In this respect, it doesn’t really make much difference whether Shulka puts away his gun or not.

Hesitating for a while, Zolotarev could only nod and follow Shulka to the map.

"The terrain of Surovikino is on the low side!" Shulka pointed to the map and said, "In other words, the waterlogging situation of the Germans is more serious than ours!"

"Do you want the stagnant water to kill the Germans?" Zolotarev sarcastically said, "So we just wait now?"

"No, Comrade Zolotarev!" Shulka said: "We don't need to wait!"

Speaking Shulka, he pointed to a point on the map.

"Freylovo Reservoir?" Trufanov immediately understood Shulka's meaning: "You want to blow it up?"

"Yes!" Shulka nodded.

"Is this your solution?" Zolotarev laughed: "Blow up the reservoir? But you should know that if we blow up the reservoir, we will not be spared, and we will also be flooded!"

"But we are prepared, Comrade Zolotarev!" Shulka replied: "We can pull supplies and troops to higher ground!"

"Really? Then how should we attack?" Zolotarev said: "When Surovikino is full of oceans, shall we swim across?"

"We have amphibious landing craft!" Trufanov replied: "We have a lot of amphibious landing craft!"

Hearing this, Zolotarev couldn't help being stunned. He didn't know much about the 51st Army. He didn't know that the 51st Army was equipped with amphibious landing craft... In fact, he knew it, but he didn't take it seriously. , because in Zolotarev’s head, war should be the collision of tanks against tanks and infantry against infantry, and the amphibious landing ship is just a small prop for landing or crossing the river, so of course he would not think of this thing .

But now that it was mentioned by Trufanov, I realized it was true.

If the flood floods the entire Surovikino, the German defense line will definitely not exist.

The Soviet army can rely on amphibious landing ships to launch a surprise attack on them, and then...everything is not a problem. The Soviet army can obviously occupy Surovikino quickly at a very small cost.

"So, what about our tanks?" Zolotarev continued to ask: "Without tanks, we will not be able to break through quickly in the next battle!"

"This requires us to know the water volume of Frelovo Reservoir!" Shulka said: "Then remember how long the flood will last, I think this should not be a big problem!"

Trufanov nodded and said, "Of course! We just need to make a phone call and they will give us the data!"

"As soon as the water level drops!" Shulka pointed to the railway line on the map and said, "Our tanks can move along the railway... The railway foundation is solid and the terrain is high, so it should not be greatly affected by the flood. If there is any impact, it will deposit some mud!"

Zolotarev was speechless after hearing this.

"I'm done, Comrade Commissar!" Shulka took off his armed belt and put it on the table, then pushed Zolotarev in front of him and said, "If you want to arrest me, now is the time! "

Trufanov looked at Zolotarev, then took off his armed belt and said, "There is me, Comrade Commissar!"

Zolotarev remained silent, as if he was considering how to deal with Shulka and Trufanov.

This really put him in a dilemma.

After a while, Zolotarev replied: "No, Comrade Trufanov, Comrade Shulka! You are right, the plan is very good, it will bring us brilliant victories, save the Our strength makes us die a lot less! So..."

Zolotarev pushed the armed belt back in front of the two and said, "But next time, I don't think you should do it this way!"
