Chapter 634 Zimlyanskaya
Zimlianskaya is a small town more than 100 kilometers away from Stalingrad. It is important because it is facing the Don River east, which allows it to build a line of defense along the Don River to make it a base for offensive or defense.
Of course, at this time, the German army had already broken through the Soviet Union's defense line in the Don River in the area, so Zimlianskaya became a second-line distribution center. The engineers used the fastest speed to repair the roads and railways leading to Zimlianskaya during the war. The German army's materials and troops were sent here continuously and then headed to the front line.
Two days later, the First Infantry Regiment arrived at Zimlianskaya by train.
As soon as I got here, I felt that the style of painting changed... There were houses everywhere that were blown up, some were obviously burned by fire and charred, and the ground was filled with bumps and bullet craters. There was obviously a fierce battle here. The German army attacked and the Soviet army attacked and the repeated attacks, which turned out like this.
If there is any place that is flat, it will belong to the streets and highways.
But the flatness of the streets and highways is only relative. They are like patched clothes on beggars. They are sewn here and there, and some places are simply built with wooden boards on the craters... Obviously, these are good things that engineers do to save time.
However, this seems that they cannot be blamed. On the one hand, it is because there are too many craters, and on the other hand, as the front advances, the more important task of the engineer is to work on the front rather than the rear.
The First Infantry Regiment was arranged to station in the ruins south of Zimlianskaya, and this order made Colonel Slein very dissatisfied, because the ruins were filled with Soviet people huddled in like rats.
In some ways, they should leave here and go to other places to find ways to survive, such as the Transcaucasus.
But in fact, it is very difficult to do this, because even if they are sure that there are relatives to surrender to the Transcaucasus and they are sure that they have some food to eat there, but they are afraid that they will starve to death before they can even get there.
Colonel Slain's dissatisfaction was not because of this, but because if the First Infantry Regiment wanted to station here, they would have to drive all of them away.
"So where should we drive them?" Colonel Slain asked, arranging the major of the resident security regiment for them.
The major looked at Colonel Slein with interest, as if he was looking at a monster from an alien world, and then he joked: "Col. If you want, you can drive them to Germany and move into your house. What do you think of this suggestion?"
The security soldiers beside the major laughed unrestrainedly.
Colonel Slain looked angry with a stern face, but said nothing, because as mentioned before, the people of the National Defense Forces could not afford the police in these security groups.
Qin Chuan walked up with great strides, took out his notebook and asked loudly with the pen, "Your name, major, and you... I mean everyone who laughed just now!"
"What?" asked the major with disdainful eyes: "Do you want to report us? Just your wish, Major!"
As he said that, he ignored Qin Chuan and turned around and was about to leave.
Qin Chuan winked, and his soldiers surrounded them and used MP43 to hold their heads.
Although the officers and soldiers of the security regiment looked at the black muzzle of MP43 and the fierce eyes of the soldiers, they were a little scared, but they pretended not to care on the surface.
The major of the security team even continued to threaten Qin Chuan: "Major, if you don't want to cause trouble, it's better to put away this set!"
Qin Chuan ignored him and walked up and said, "Your name, number, if you don't say it, I can guarantee that I will let them pull the trigger!"
"You don't have the right to do this!" said the security team major.
"You are right, I do not have this power!" Qin Chuan replied: "But at least you should ask what unit we are before you are disrespectful to the colonel, 'Oh'... Maybe you don't know the 'First Infantry Regiment' at all, because you don't care about the battlefield at all, just how to plunder the people, right?"
Listening to Qin Chuan's words, the major of the security regiment had a cautious look on his face, because the reputation of the "First Infantry Regiment" had indeed resounded throughout the Eastern Front.
But he still said stubbornly: "So what, Major?"
"Hmm!" Qin Chuan replied with a smile: "So, you have heard of the 'First Infantry Regiment'. Then you should know that we have participated in the Battle of Holm. Major General Hartman, the commander of the 211th Security Division, was also the commander of the 211th Security Division. He also left me a phone number and told me that I could contact him at any time... I think it's time to use it. Do you think so, Major?"
Qin Chuan aggravated his last sentence.
The major of the security team changed his expression, as if he was considering the authenticity of Qin Chuan's words.
At this time, a soldier from the security regiment leaned into the major's ear and whispered: "Major, he is the 'Legendary'. I have seen him in the newspaper!"
The security team's major opened his mouth wide when he heard this and looked at Qin Chuan. Then he realized that what Qin Chuan said about Major General Hartman was just a lightweight figure that Qin Chuan knew.
"Apology, Major!" said the security team's major: "I don't think things have developed to that point!"
"I think the object you need to apologize is not me!" Qin Chuan replied coldly.
"Oh, yes!" The security team major understood what Qin Chuan said. He nodded, then walked to Colonel Slein and stood up and saluted: "Please forgive my rudeness, sir!"
"Then, Major!" Colonel Slain asked with a stern face: "Our station..."
"Of course, I will arrange it!" replied the Major of the Security Corps: "I must have made a mistake. Your station is in a school two miles away from here, with spacious space and walls for defense, but some places have been blown up! You know, it is inevitable in the war!"
Colonel Slain nodded with satisfaction, and then the matter was resolved. The security team major shook hands with Qin Chuan, said a few polite words, and then left in disappointment.
"A bunch of bastards!" Colonel Slain couldn't help but curse as he looked at their backs, and then said to Qin Chuan: "I think I should thank you!"
"It should be, colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "But I really don't want to let them go just like this!"
