USSR 1941

  Chapter 171

  The assistant instructor really likes to do such things, to be exact, he should be good at doing such things.

  Because the next day, Lieutenant Nejkert was taken away by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Of course it would not be Captain Bogdan who came. After the last incident, he himself felt ashamed and embarrassed to show up again.

  Shuerka didn't know what excuses the assistant instructor used or what problems he found Lieutenant Nejket... This kind of thing is actually "there is no excuse for the crime", and there will always be some serious searches.

   "He won't be shot!" Shulka asked the assistant instructor.

   "Of course not!" The assistant instructor replied: "Am I that kind of person?"

  Shuerka couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't bear it, after all, it wasn't a big mistake to make a small report.

  But Shulka was dumbfounded by the assistant instructor's next sentence.

   "They just sent him to Siberia!" When the assistant instructor said this, there was no wave on his face, as if he was describing a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

  But Shulka knew that Siberia...it would not be much easier than shooting, and even more painful than shooting.

  But Shuerka can't care much about this matter. What Shuerka needs to worry about is the follow-up training of the guerrillas and the execution of tasks.

The early stage of entering the cycle is the busiest time, because both sides have to pay attention to the slightest bit, especially the guerrillas sent to western Ukraine have to increase their training to cross the Pripyat swamp, and more importantly... Shulka It is necessary to integrate the actual combat experience gained by the guerrillas sent to the front line into the teaching materials as some combat examples to pass on to the teaching group.

  So Shulka is very busy all day long.

   Thankfully, the guerrilla headquarters has been recognized by Moscow.

In fact, not only admitting, but the Moscow High Command also called on the surrounded and dispersed officers and soldiers to learn from the Southwest Front's approach... The benefits of this tactic are obvious, and only fools would let these partisans take up knives and guns to fight the enemy desperately Or breakout.

  Information about the explosion in Belgorod quickly spread to the headquarters of the German Army Group South.

  Reichenau was very angry about this, but he always thought it was an accident caused by the poor management of German soldiers.

  So he called the person in charge and scolded him severely:

"That's ammunition and supplies!" Reichenau said angrily: "There is also gasoline, trains and cars. Without these our tanks cannot move forward, and soldiers have no ammunition and food. Do you know how serious it is? It even has It may affect the entire battle, and all of this is because of your negligence, because of your dereliction of duty!"

   "Sorry, Your Excellency Marshal!" The person in charge replied while dripping cold sweat: "You know, those Russians' equipment and ammunition are very crude. This may be caused by the accidental explosion of the ammunition!"

   "I don't care what the reason is!" Reichenau said: "That's your area of ​​responsibility, you should have thought of that and sorted them!"

   "I really want to do this, but the amount of ammunition shipped every day is too large, and we are short of manpower, so it is too late..."

"Don't make any more stupid excuses about lack of manpower!" Reichenau became more and more angry: "There are countless Russians in Algorod, and they can all be your 'manpower'! There is no doubt that this is your manpower." responsibility…"

  The person in charge felt wronged for a while, because he did not dare to use Russian "manpower" just for the safety of ammunition.

   At this moment, Manstein pushed open the door, holding a folder in his hand, and saw that Reichenau was reprimanding his subordinates, so he waited at the door.

   Reichenau sternly signaled his subordinates to retreat first, and even ordered the guards to watch him, because Reichenau was worried that this subordinate would abscond in fear of crime.

   Then he complained to Manstein: "These idiots, they will never learn how important it is to a soldier to 'do their duty'!"

   "Your Excellency Marshal!" Manstein took out a document from the folder and handed it to Reichenau, saying, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as we thought!"

  Reichenau put on his monocle and picked up the document to look at it for a while, and then the more he looked, the more shocked he became, the expression on his face changed from anger to anger...Although they were all angry, the targets of the anger were obviously different.

   "You mean, the Russians did it?"

"I think so!" replied Manstein. "According to our intelligence, the Russians are cheering for it, and Moscow even uses this victory to motivate soldiers. They say... 'Our heroic partisans are dragging the enemy down. Step forward, keep them immobile!'”

   "Guerrillas?" Reichenau was a little confused, because this was the tactic Manstein used not long ago on the communication line between Kyiv and Odessa.

   "Yes!" Manstein knew what Reichenau was thinking: "The Russians have obviously formed their own guerrillas!"

   "They learned your tactics?" Reichenau smiled, and then laughed: "These despicable, shameless Russians!"

  Manstein shook his head in embarrassment.

   "No, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Manstein said: "I don't think they have learned my tactics!"

"Is not it?"

"Their guerrillas are much smarter!" Manstein handed another document to Reichenau as he said: "This is a Russian guerrilla that we annihilated not long ago. I got some information about their training...that is a complete set of tactical systems, from lurking to combat to propaganda! What surprised me even more is that their training cycle only takes one week!"

   Speaking of this, Manstein swallowed hard: "That is to say, if necessary, they can disperse such guerrillas to every corner of our occupied area in a very short period of time!"

  Reichenau glanced at the document through the lens, and then his face became more and more ugly.

   "In other words, you think the Belgorod railway station was not an accidental attack?"

   "I hope it is!" Manstein replied: "But it obviously isn't!"

   Soon, Manstein's words were proved.

   There were a few hasty knocks on the door, and the allowed adjutant pushed in and reported nervously to Reichenau: "Your Excellency, Marshal, we are under attack!"

   "Russian partisans?" Marshal Reichenau asked.

   "Yes!" The adjutant was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Reichenau took the telegram from the adjutant, and then passed the telegram to Manstein, saying: "You are right, this time it is from the Liembridge, and the Puig warehouse was also attacked, but they did not succeed!"

   After a pause, Reichenau added: "Now, General! You should think about how to deal with these guerrillas!"
