Chapter 448 Letter

Andrianka guessed right, Shulka knew what was in the envelope without opening it.

Before Shulka came here, everyone knew that the 82nd Infantry Regiment was an abandoned team, even the families of these soldiers knew.

But they are helpless, because this is an order and a system, and they can only wait for the day when their fate comes.

However, the arrival of Shulka gave them hope.

You must know that it is a "breakout hero", a hero who has repeatedly brought the Soviet army out of the enemy's siege and won victories. The superiors will not send him to this abandoned army without a reason.

The only explanation is that, as Mikhailvich told them, the superiors intend to rectify the 82nd Infantry Regiment, which means that the 82nd Infantry Regiment has not been abandoned, and it still has hope.

Hope this thing is a weird kind of thing sometimes.

If you think there is no hope, then there really is.

If you think there is hope, then there is hope.

But now the mentality of the 82nd Infantry Regiment and even their families has gradually changed from the former to the latter because of the arrival of Shulka.

In fact, it is not accurate to use the word "gradually" to describe it.

Because Shulka didn't know it, the night he arrived in Uryupinsk he caused a sensation in the whole city.

That night, after Shulka got into Andrianka's carriage and left, Valery shouted excitedly to his subordinates: "Did you hear that? It's Shulka, the 'breakout hero' Shulka, he came to our The army is appointed as the deputy head!"

"Yes, Comrade Battalion Commander! It's really Shulka!"

"Do you know what this means? We are saved!"

...

Then, Valery didn't even care about the patrolling task, he ran home immediately and knocked on the wooden door with a "bang bang".

Valery's family didn't know what was going on, they got up from the bed in panic and opened the door.

"What happened, Valery?" Mother asked palely, "Are they going to send you to the battlefield?"

"When are you leaving?" Dad asked.

"No!" Valery shook his head excitedly, he was out of breath for a while because of running so fast.

"You, you ran away again?" Father couldn't help being taken aback.

Although the last time was not strictly speaking "escape", Valery "retreated" under the attack of the German army.

At that time, who can tell whether to escape or retreat?

"No!" Valery finally recovered his breath: "Have you heard of 'Breakout Heroes'?"

"certainly!"

"Here he is, in Uryupinsk!"

Parents don't react because they don't know what this has to do with them.

"I just found out that he is our deputy commander!" Valery explained: "The 'Breakout Hero' has come to our army and served as the deputy commander. We have hope!"

The parents were silent for a while, then suddenly hugged Valery and cried aloud.

No one would understand their pain, not just Valery, but his family could not hold their heads up in front of other people, and even if anything happened to Valery, the family might be interrogated or sent to prison. To Siberia.

But now, if there is a "breakout hero" to lead this army and lead them to victory on the battlefield, everything will be different.

As a result, the news spread from ten to ten, and soon, the news that the "breakout hero" was serving as the deputy commander of the 82nd Infantry Regiment spread throughout the city.

If it weren't for the fact that the people could not enter and leave the barracks at will, I am afraid that many people would have come to visit Shulka.

"Valery is just one of them!" Andrianka said, "Most people in our army have parents and family members. They all have great hopes for you!"

"I can't help it!" Shulka replied.

"Really?" Andrianka sat down on the edge of the table and looked at Shulka: "This is not the Shulka we know!"

"You don't know anything!"

"Yes, we don't know anything!" Andrianka nodded: "All we know is from the newspapers. They say that you are invincible and that you are not afraid of any difficulties because you can solve them. All the difficulties that other people seem to be unable to solve! But it is clearly not the case, is it?"

"It won't work for me, Andrianka!" said Shulka.

"Okay!" Andrianka handed the letters to Shulka and said, "Then why don't you dare to open these letters?"

Saying that, Andrianka smiled and left, taking a jug of wine from the table.

Shulka was silent for a while, then took a letter on the table and tore it open.

"Dear Comrade Shulka, you can't believe how we write this letter. It may be a small thing for you, or just an experience, but for us it means rebirth, yes Recover the lost dignity and honor..."

Shulka didn't look any further.

Because he knew that he could not fulfill their wish.

In the end, he will leave everything behind and leave, and these soldiers and their families still have to face what they have to face.

Still, why not try it?

And it doesn't seem to do any harm to me, after all, I can't leave here for the time being.

Thinking of this, Shulka raised his head to the commander who was warming up: "Comrade Mikhailvich, can we get more supplies?"

Mikhailvich and Andrianka turned their heads abruptly, and then beamed with joy.

"Before that!" Mikhailvich replied, "It will be very difficult for us to get more supplies! Even entertaining you requires hunting, but now..."

Mikhailvich raised his head towards Shulka's table, and then several people looked at each other and smiled.

Mikhailvich was right.

It's actually a bit of a celebrity thing, even recruiting soldiers... Hardly anybody wanted to be in the 82nd Infantry before.

This is not only because of the lack of supplies, but also because everyone knows that this is a cannon fodder unit, and no one is willing to die on the battlefield without dignity as cannon fodder.

But it is different for Shulka to be a call in this army. Shulka is a hero, which means that this army is likely to be built into a heroic army in the future.

So the problem of recruiting recruits seems to be solved.

The problem is... this is just what the common people take for granted, and to some extent they are still deceived by the "breakout heroes".

In the eyes of their superiors, the 82nd Infantry Regiment is still a cannon fodder unit. Even if they have more soldiers and even better training and morale, they will still be sent to the battlefield to step on mines one day.
