************
The quasi-deserters were shot one by one, kneeling with their hands behind their backs, their heads were crushed by bullets from behind at close range, and their brains burst into death.
The straight line ford by the corpses is nearly three kiloters long... There are more than two hundred people lined up in a row, but it is impossible to line up for three kiloters, but in order to better serve as a deterrent, Khrushchev ordered them to be separated by ten ters from each other Execution, so it looks like a long row, which makes people look a little creepy.
In fact, not only watching, but thinking about it, Khrushchev is making full use of these "quasi-deserters", even if they are dead. Look at these "quasi-deserters" from a different perspective.
This approach really worked, and the "cutting corners" on the battlefield disappeared imdiately, and the combat effectiveness and morale were imdiately improved significantly, which can be seen from the overall slowdown of the German army's advance speed.
But Khrushchev was not satisfied with this.
"The reason why I support your tactics is because I know that Stalingrad has insufficient troops!" Khrushchev said to others in the headquarters in a cold tone: "The Germans have been blocking our supply lines. From Stalingrad to the Volga River and then to the east bank, just yesterday, we had a warehouse storing tens of thousands of tons of supplies that was bombed by the enemy, and the communication lines and ports were also damaged to a certain extent... So, you guys It is correct, if we continue to charge regardless of sacrifices as before, then it is not difficult to imagine the result, our limited forces will soon be exhausted, and Stalingrad will fall into the hands of the enemy!"
No one dared to answer, because they all knew that Khrushchev's words would not be so simple.
Sure enough, Khrushchev glanced at everyone and then continued: "However, this does not an that we can stop the Germans, or that we have an advantage..."
Khrushchev slapped his hands on the table heavily, while emphasizing his tone: "The enemy is attacking us every second, the battle line is constantly advancing towards us, and we are retreating, understand? Comrades... Although I believe that the final Victory will be ours, but now we are losing Stalingrad!"
Although these words are sowhat contradictory, "I believe that victory belongs to us", "I am losing Stalingrad".
But Shulka and everyone else understood what Khrushchev was talking about.
"Victory is ours" is a matter of belief and position.
"Stalingrad is being lost" is the reality that is happening now.
In order to achieve the belief that "victory belongs to us", it is necessary to change the reality that "Stalingrad is being lost".
"Comrade Golikov!" Khrushchev looked at Golikov and said, "You are the commander of Stalingrad and have perford well since the defense of Stalingrad. At least you led the troops to stand firm here Heel, I want to hear your thoughts!"
"Comrade political commissar..." Golikov thought for a while in embarrassnt, and then replied hesitantly: "I think we can start with supplies..."
"Yes, supplies!" Khrushchev continued: "The Germans blocked our traffic and restricted our supplies! They blow up a railway and we repair a railway, blow up a port and we build another port, That way we can put more troops and equipnt into Stalingrad and win in the end, right?"
"Yes, Comrade Political Commissar!" Golikov replied with so excitent: "That's what I want to say..."
"We have already done this, Comrade Golikov!" Khrushchev interrupted Golikov.
Obviously, Golikov was too happy.
"Everyone will think of this, as long as he is not a fool!" Khrushchev was rude and completely ignored Golikov's face in front of his subordinates. In fact, except for a limited number of people, Khrushchev did not need to take care of others face.
"Everyone knows!" Khrushchev continued to reprimand the ashen-faced Golikov. ! And you, as the commander of the Army Group, the commander of Stalingrad, only thought of the thod that everyone would think of, what we are already doing, and you call it a suggestion!"
As he said that, Khrushchev glanced at the others coldly, and asked, "Any other ideas? What I need are tactics and thods, understand? Otherwise, I don't understand what happened between you and those who were shot. What's the difference between a traitor?"
These words imdiately made the atmosphere in the headquarters tense... If there is no difference, does it an that these "trash" in the headquarters can also be shot?
Akimovich plucked up the courage to stand up and replied: "Comrade political commissar, I think... we should give full play to Comrade Shulka's tactics, and transport troops to the enemy's rear through underground pipelines on a large scale to harass the enemy, making the enemy difficult to care about !"
The reason why Akimovich wanted to ntion Shulka was that on the one hand, he was unwilling to claim credit, and on the other hand, he used a snack machine... He wanted to use this to draw Khrushchev's attention to Shulka again.
Because Akimovich knew that if anyone could co up with a plan that satisfied Khrushchev, then that person would be Shulka.
"Didn't we do this before?" Khrushchev countered. "I know this, Comrade Major, and that's one of the reasons why you were able to hold Stalingrad and keep the enemy at bay. It's just... I didn't know it was also caused by Comrade Shulka proposed!"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Shulka and asked, "Do you agree with what the major said?"
From this point of view, Akimovich succeeded. He successfully shifted Khrushchev's attention to Shulka.
"No, Comrade Political Commissar!" Shulka replied: "It worked well in the early days, but as the battle deepened, the Germans went every step of the way and searched thoroughly for every inch of land they occupied and blasted or sealed off every possible Exit. In addition, the enemy has basically figured out the direction of the underground pipeline, so it is difficult for us to use the underground pipeline to sneak attack like before!"
Khrushchev nodded and said: "Well, tell what you think, Comrade Shulka! I hope you think differently from others, otherwise... I think you should not stay here and direct the battle, but with the The front-line soldiers stay together to experience the feeling that their lives are hanging by a thread!"
All eyes were on Shulka, including Golikov.
