USSR 1941

"Don't shoot!" Shulka yelled, "One of our own!"

In fact, Shulka wasn't sure if it was one of his own, but there was only one black shadow, and no enemy would be so stupid as to run towards the enemy's trench alone.

Shulka's reaction can be said to have saved the man's life, because the Soviet soldiers were all newbies, and their fingers were tightly pressed on the trigger under high tension, and any one shot would immediately cause a burst of random shots.

However, because Shulka reminded in time, the Soviet soldiers suppressed the urge to shoot.

"Who?" Pukarev yelled at the shadow.

The black shadow didn't answer, or the answer was so low that no one could hear him, he ran forward a few more steps, and then fell to the ground with a somersault.

As soon as Pukarev waved his hand, two Soviet soldiers rushed up.

Gunshots rang out on the opposite side soon, but because the bullets covered by the dense fog did not pose a threat to the Soviet army, the two soldiers successfully carried the shadow back to the trench.

It was a child, a child in a Soviet uniform, who nearly collapsed when he was dragged into the trenches.

"Who are you?" Pukarev asked.

"Military music platoon of the 333rd Infantry Regiment!" The child replied weakly, "My name is Peter, and I brought orders from Commissar Fumin from the central fortress!"

"An order from Political Commissar Fumin?" Shulka couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, he thought it must have made them stick to it again.

But this time Shulka was wrong...

The order that Peter brought to Major Gavrilov was: "Seven o'clock tonight, three red flares, break out to the north at the same time!"

This order was like letting Major Gavrilov loose, so he immediately conveyed the order: "Prepare to break out at night!"

"Prepare to break out at night!"

...

Shulka was surprised to hear this order, although it was exactly what he wanted.

But let Shulka, of course, Major Gavrilov did not expect that this order brought some negative effects.

"What happened to break out at night?" A soldier asked.

"Didn't it mean that as long as you persist until morning, reinforcements will come?"

"So at least until night! It's not even sure if there will be reinforcements at night!"

...

The most feared thing in the army is some uncertain things, which will destabilize the morale of the army, and even the soldiers will have a feeling of being cheated.

This is a consequence of Major Gavrilov's premature promise yesterday... As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Although making a promise can temporarily boost morale, the consequence is that it cannot be fulfilled , the blow to morale will be even more severe.

Soon there was even a saying among the soldiers:

"Are you still willing to listen to these lies? There will be no reinforcements. What the Germans said is true. They have already hit Minsk, and we will have no hope! The major can only use lies to make us fight the Germans! "

"It doesn't make any sense, there are Germans everywhere, and there is only one way to break out!"

...

If there are only one or two people who say these things, then things are easy to handle. The instructor uses his method to find out one or two people and quickly suppress them.

The problem is that there are groups of people who say these things. If all these people are arrested, it is equivalent to suicide, so the method of the instructor is useless.

After Major Gavrilov noticed this, he hurried to the front line to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Comrades!" said Major Gavrilov. "As you know, we changed our plan and prepared to break out at night..."

"We want to know the truth, Comrade Major!" Someone interrupted Major Gavrilov: "Have the Germans surrounded us?"

"Is there no reinforcements?"

"Has our army been defeated by the Germans!"

...

This is an unprecedented situation,

Major Gavrilov was caught off guard by soldiers interrupting and questioning the officer.

But this is actually quite normal.

First of all, the state of war and the state of peace are two different things in themselves.

It is difficult for soldiers to unite in a state of peace, and it is also rare to go out and challenge the officers and their inherent forces. The reason is very simple. When it comes to life and death, everyone wants to protect themselves.

But in a state of war, especially in a situation where everyone is doomed, all soldiers are on the same ship, they are easy to unite and don't care about any military rules or regulations... Anyway, what if they are all dead Don't dare to do it?

Seeing this scene, the instructor following Major Gavrilov couldn't hold back anymore. He habitually held the pistol at his waist and shouted angrily: "Who allowed you to say these words? Those It's all German lies, it's traitors who are driving us apart, and you know it and..."

When it came to the instructor, he didn't dare to talk anymore, because the soldiers all stared at him with angry eyes... The soldiers usually hate the instructor the most. Seeing that he is still so arrogant and domineering at this time, how can they bear it? have to go down.

In fact, such things are not uncommon in the Soviet army... many units and even entire divisions of Soviet soldiers chose to kill the political workers in the unit and then surrendered to the German army.

The two sides were at war with each other, and seeing a mutiny was imminent, Shulka groaned secretly in his heart.

It doesn't matter if the two conflict, the important thing is that your own life may be over, or you can go to the German army with these soldiers as a prisoner... Shulka knows that being a German prisoner will not end well either, starving to death, Death from illness and exhaustion are countless.

So without thinking too much, Shulka stood up at this moment.

"Comrades, I know the situation!"

When Shulka called out, everyone turned their attention to him.

Shulka has a special status. He is just a soldier, and he is in principle with the soldiers.

Shulka, on the other hand, is a hero who bombs tanks... Fighting peoples admire heroes.

At the same time, Shulka had just found a large amount of supplies to solve the medical and stomach problems of many soldiers, so he already had a certain reputation among the soldiers, so they were still willing to listen to what Shulka had to say.

"You know the situation?"

"Tell me what you know?"

Shulka cast his eyes on Major Gavrilov, who nodded slightly in agreement... There was nothing else to do.

"You are right!" Shulka said: "We are surrounded, the Germans have penetrated deep into the heart of the Soviet Union, and we will have no reinforcements!"

Shulka's words were like dropping a bomb among the soldiers, and immediately caused a commotion.

Even Major Gavrilov was a little surprised, he didn't expect Shulka to admit it so directly.
