Chapter 445 Eighty-Second Infantry Regiment

"Yes, I'm Shulka!" Shulka replied, "You came just in time. If you were later, I might be shot as a spy by them!"

The militiamen couldn't help being stunned... To be precise, they were not militiamen, but soldiers from the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Shulka went to the cap and asked: "Comrade Valery, can you give me back my rifle and my papers?"

"Oh, of course, Comrade Shulka!" Valery panicked and untied the rifle from behind, even pointing the muzzle at Shulka when he handed it over.

Shulka shook his head secretly. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no bullets in the gun, he would have died of a misfire right now.

"What's going on?" The coachman is an officer, and his rank is not low, and he can be seen as a captain under the moonlight.

He parted the militia, then saluted Shulka, and reported: "I am Andrianka, staff officer of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, sorry for being late!"

Smelling the smell of alcohol coming out of the staff officer's mouth, Shulka knew why he was late.

Shulka raised his head towards Valery: "There are still documents!"

"Oh, yes, of course!" Only then did Valery react, and hurriedly took out the ID from his pocket and handed it back to Shulka.

Shulka didn't say anything, he just followed Andrianka into the carriage, and then let Andrianka skillfully swung the whip to turn the carriage around, and then drove in another direction with a yell.

At this time, Shulka's heart was broken. The soldiers of an infantry regiment didn't even have military uniforms, and the vehicle that came to pick up the deputy commander was a carriage.

Shulka had thought the force would be bad, but not this bad.

What Shulka didn't expect was that this "bad" impression was just the beginning.

The carriage drove in the snow for about an hour before arriving at the destination, which was the barracks of the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Shulka was almost frozen to death... A carriage and a jeep are two different things. In a jeep, you only need to close the windows to keep out the wind and rain. There is also the heat from the engine inside the car. I don't think it's a big problem.

But the carriage... not to mention the wind from all sides, the snowflakes can float directly on your body and then laminated on top of each other. Shulka, who is not used to it, can only shiver with cold on it.

Finally arrived at the barracks,

When the carriage stopped, Shulka couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage to stretch his almost stiff hands and feet.

"Here comes the regimental headquarters, Comrade Shulka!"

Shulka couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, the cabin in front of him turned out to be the regiment headquarters.

If the 82nd regiment was fighting on the front line, it would be understandable for the regiment headquarters to be located in a cabin, after all, it should be inconspicuous on the front line.

But here is Ulyupinsk, far from the front line.

The 82nd Infantry Regiment is fully qualified to live in a better house and have better conditions.

There were only two guards in regimental headquarters... In fact, Shulka wasn't sure if they were guards or orderlies, because they were busy boiling water in front of the stove.

Seeing Shuerka come in, two guards rushed up to greet him and saluted, and then said excitedly:

"Welcome, Comrade Shulka!"

"Nice to meet you, Comrade Shulka! We heard that you are coming to us as Deputy Commander... How exciting!"

"It was great meeting you in person, we've heard so many stories about you!"

"Comrade leader always reprimands us for your affairs!"

...

"You should pour a cup of hot tea for Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka interrupted the guard impatiently.

"Oh yes!"

Speaking of which, the guard hurriedly brought Shulka a cup of hot tea.

Shulka really needed this, because he was freezing and the temperature of the hot tea made him feel like he had finally recovered from this cold world.

Taking a breath, Shulka looked around and asked, "Where is the commander, Comrade Andrianka?"

"He went hunting!" Andrianka replied: "I think he's almost back by now!"

"Hunting?" Shulka couldn't help being puzzled.

"Yes, hunting!" Andrianka put his hands on the flame and said thoughtfully, "I think you should have a little understanding of the 82nd Infantry Regiment, or the 3rd Army before coming here. Come on, Comrade Shulka!"

"Not much!" Shulka replied.

"We are a forgotten army, Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka replied, and then stopped talking and just added wood to the fire one by one.

Shulka knew what that meant.

The Bryansk Front Army, a unit that was almost completely wiped out, they either died in battle, were captured, or rebelled. According to the definition of Order No. 270, they escaped alive...

As a result, this army will become a cannon fodder army. They get the least supplies and resources, and they will be sent to the battlefield to give their heads in wartime. This is not much different from the "punishment battalion" in the middle and late stages.

Suddenly, Shulka understood why the leader went hunting, because they had no food to entertain Shulka, a guest.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and several people came in from the door. The leader was a major. As soon as he entered the door, he exclaimed excitedly: "What luck, Andrianka, we have shot a wild wolf!"

"Comrade Commander!" said Andrianka, "Comrade Shulka has arrived!"

Shulka hurried up to greet him, stood up and saluted: "Captain Shulka, this is my letter of appointment!"

"Welcome, Comrade Shulka!" The head of the regiment left the wild wolf, wiped his hands on the military uniform nervously, then held Shulka's hand tightly, and said, "You know what? I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that they would send you here as the deputy head!"

"Yes!" said Andrianka. "They only found out about us a few hours ago, and the regimental leader immediately went up to the mountains with a gun to hunt!"

"Fortunately, I didn't return empty-handed!" The group leader laughed: "We can have a full meal tonight!"

"Thank you very much, Comrade Commander!" Shulka said.

This is indeed a very special way of welcome.

The head of the regiment invited Shulka aside, and then said in a low voice, "Although I don't know the reason! But I told the soldiers that the superior sent you here because he planned to rectify the troops!"

Shulka nodded in understanding.

The head of the regiment is obviously a veteran. He knows that it is obviously not a good thing for Shulka to be transferred from the 1st Guards Tank Brigade to serve as the deputy head of this stupid and similar "punishment battalion".

But it would certainly be a good thing if they could use Shulka's reputation to boost morale and even make them think that their superiors hadn't abandoned them.

Therefore, Shulka thought that perhaps he should take over this role and reorganize the troops.
