I asked you to escape, but you became a soldier in World War II

Chapter 2 Mobilization before the war
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Pavlov. I'm a sergeant from the 42th Company of the 7nd Guards Infantry Regiment and currently the highest commander of this building."

"Oh my God, are you Pavlov?" Lin Chen couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"What, you know me?"

"No, I don't know him, it's just that your name is very similar to the master in our factory." Lin Chen explained hurriedly.

Just kidding, the building was later named after him.

Pavlov was too lazy to pay attention to this Chinese boy. After all, in this brutal battle, deserters were common, not to mention a foreign boy.

But right now, these people are the key to whether we can successfully defend this place! Everyone must contribute!
"Let me emphasize that this building is an important support point for Stalingrad on the Volga River. It has a wide firing range on all sides and the ferry terminal is behind it," he waved his arms passionately. "As long as we can hold on, reinforcements and supplies will continue to flow in from the rear, and this city will never be lost! This is not an ordinary city. It is a city named after our great leader Stalin. It has extraordinary significance!"

At once, the three soldiers began to cheer in unison, but the other civilians were more indifferent.

Are you kidding? They all came here to escape for their lives, and now we are encouraging them to fight desperately with the elite German troops. Is this possible?
When Pavlov saw that the mobilization effect was not good, he immediately wanted to start another set of mobilization methods.
Since passionate mobilization doesn't work, let's try some radical action.

"Sergeant Pavlov!"

Sergeant Pavlov was still somewhat dissatisfied when he heard someone interrupt him, but now was the time to unite, so he could only lower his posture and try to use a gentle tone to ask, "What's the matter?"

Lin Chen waved his hand, called Pavlov aside, and whispered,

"Most of the people here are ordinary people who want to survive. It's not that they don't cooperate with you, but you must let them see hope. Only with hope of survival will they have the courage to fight." Lin Chen was also an ordinary citizen in his previous life, so he naturally knew the real thoughts of these people. It would be difficult for them to understand the great principles of the country for a while. If you force them blindly, they may listen to you and pick up their guns temporarily, but they will definitely work without effort. In the end, facing the crazy attack of the German army, they can only be a mess.

"So what do you think we should do?" Pavlov was just a sergeant after all, and he didn't have any good ideas.

"First, we need to send people back to get reinforcements. It will be difficult to hold out for too long with just the guys we have."

"Second, we need to take inventory of the supplies here as soon as possible so that we can deploy and make a defense plan in a timely manner."

"Third, we must quickly divide these people into several groups according to their specialties, such as combat groups, medical groups, logistics groups, etc., so that everyone can perform their duties and not waste any strength. I estimate that after dawn, the German devils will know the situation here, and their reinforcements will soon launch an attack. We don't have much time left."

It has to be said that Lin Chen's analysis and arrangements made Pavlov's eyes light up, and the other three Soviet soldiers also nodded frequently. Although they couldn't explain it so thoroughly, they could still tell what was good and what was bad.

"Chernogolov, you must hurry back to the regiment headquarters and request support! Make the situation here sound as bad as possible, do you understand me?" Pavlov was no fool. He knew that the German army was approaching and there were dangers everywhere and insufficient troops everywhere, but this place was too important and he had to ask his superiors to send reinforcements.

"If you can't find the regiment headquarters, go to the division headquarters. If you can't find the division headquarters either, go to the army commander and get reinforcements! Remember, this is crucial to whether we can hold Stalingrad. I believe they will have this strategic vision."

Chernogolov did not respond, hesitated for a moment, and looked back at Pavlov.

"Go, just do as he says and be careful on the road! Your life is important!" Pavlov patted his shoulder vigorously, took off his Mosin-Nagant rifle, and handed him the German Luger pistol he had captured. "Leave the rifle behind, it will be more convenient for you to carry this." Chernogolov saluted him, turned and left.

When Chernogolov was about to walk out of the gate, Pavlov stopped him, "Chernogolov, if you come back, we will all be dead. We must find a way to take this place back!"

Chernogolov nodded heavily and said, "Comrade Sergeant, you must stay alive. When the battle is over, I will treat you to a drink!"

"This little bastard, his hair hasn't even grown out yet, and he's already thinking about drinking."

Pavlov looked at the soldiers going away, his eyes were a little moist. He had lost too many young soldiers like this in these days.

Even though he had a heart as hard as iron, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Comrade Sergeant, let's hurry up!" Lin Chen urged. Now was not the time to be sentimental. In order to save this building, they had to race against time to make defensive preparations.

Thanks to the efficient efforts of Pavlov and Lin Chen, the common people at the scene except Lin Chen were quickly identified.
Two women with nursing experience were assigned to the medical team;

The 17 young men and women were organized into two combat groups, led by Privates Alexandrov and Glushenko respectively;
The other 15 elderly and weak soldiers were assigned to the logistics team to load bullets and do other auxiliary work.

The relevant weapons and equipment were also counted.

There are 15 Soviet-made Mosin-Nagant rifles.
6 PPSh submachine guns,
98 German-made 4K Mauser rifles,
34 German-made MG1 machine gun,
40 MP1 submachine gun,
In addition, there were several grenades and a large number of bullets.

What made Lin Chen very happy was that when these German soldiers came, they actually brought a lot of mines, an 81mm mortar with its foot damaged by a bomb, and 30 shells.

Lin Chen and Pavlov distributed these weapons to the combat team members, and the others also had to familiarize themselves with the guns as quickly as possible so that they could join the battle in case of an emergency.

When a real fighting breaks out, no one cares whether you are a civilian or a soldier, the enemy's bullets do not discriminate.

After all this was done, Lin Chen, after obtaining Pavlov's consent, gathered everyone together and began his mobilization.

"I know everyone is afraid of death. To be honest, I am afraid of death too!" Unlike Pavlov's mobilization, the moment he opened his mouth he took the initiative to narrow the distance between himself and everyone and arouse ideological resonance.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, everyone looked at him differently.

"It's not scary to be afraid of death. What's scary is meaningless death, being killed like pigs and dogs! In front of us is the German Sixth Army. You all know what this army has done. They have killed countless of us. Their butcher knives are dripping with blood, and they are escorting prisoners to their terrible concentration camps! I don't need to say more about what surrender means!

Behind us is the Volga River. We have no way to retreat. In fact, even if we can cross the river, we will be caught by the supervision team and enforce military discipline. So, we can either defend this building and become Soviet heroes, or die gloriously here. "
