USSR 1941

Shulka also received one such pistol, and it also has a momentary red star engraved on the grip.

It was Major Mikhailevich who gave Shulka the pistol.

When handing over the pistol to Shulka, Mikhailevich looked at the red star engraved on the grip and said: "We found this among the pistols we received, something out of the ordinary!"

"Different?" Shulka was a little puzzled: "You mean the red star?"

"Yes, of course!" Mikhailvich smiled: "Maybe you didn't know, this was a very high honor ten years ago!"

Hearing this, Shulka stopped asking questions, he was worried that Mikhailvich would wonder why Shulka didn't know some common sense.

Later, Shulka made a side note and learned that this M1895 Nagant revolver once had a high status in the Soviet Union. It was equipped in large quantities in the army, and it was not completely replaced by the Tokarev pistol until the end of World War II.

As for the revolver with the red star on the grip, it was given to meritorious party members by the Soviet Union in the 1930s. It is a very high honor. It is almost a "shangfang sword" that symbolizes power and has a certain degree of power over life and death. .

It is assumed that this pistol should have been lost on the battlefield and was reused as a "second-hand" pistol. Unexpectedly, it was distributed to the 82nd Infantry Regiment.

Shulka is more of a toy.

It has little value on the battlefield at this time, because its bullets are 7.62*38MM, and the Tokarev pistols and "Bobosha" submachine guns commonly equipped by the Soviet army now use 7.62mm pistol bullets. *25mm.

This reduces it to a police pistol...no one or any unit likes to have an extra ammo in their supplies for a pistol, which has the potential to cause supply confusion on the battlefield with serious consequences.

However, because of its police use and large production volume, this kind of pistol has almost endless bullets in stock.

On the other hand, the situation in Stalingrad at this time requires saving every bullet and every supply.

As a result, the Ministry of the Interior used it to execute deserters in ports.

Shulka put it in a drawer... The 82nd Infantry Regiment was given a basement in the port as its headquarters, and Shulka, as deputy commander, was lucky enough to have a desk of his own.

Originally Shulka thought he would never use this pistol,

But this is not the case.

Shulka picked up a newspaper out of boredom. He wanted to find Valrasha's name in the newspaper, and also to read news written by her or something else.

But it turned out to disappoint Shulka, there was nothing on it.

This made Shulka a little worried, Walrasha won't be implicated by herself because of the last incident!

But I didn't promise anything, and Val Lasha didn't do anything, so there should be nothing wrong...

Just as he was thinking, Mikhailvich yelled outside the headquarters: "Shuerka, come up!"

"Yes, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied.

Just as he was about to get up, Major Mikhailvich added: "Take that pistol and bullets!"

Shulka couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and then understood what Major Mikhailvich wanted him to do.

Sure enough, when Shulka walked out of the command post, he saw Valery and several soldiers escorting a group of deserters, and the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also there, yelling at Valery and others.

Major Mikhailvich whispered to Shulka: "Some of them are resistant, you deal with it!"

So Shulka understood why he, the deputy commander, needed to do things like this. It turned out that he hoped to use Shulka's reputation and eloquence to persuade the soldiers to let go of their psychological burden.

Frowning helplessly, Shulka walked up and asked, "What happened, Comrade Captain?"

The captain turned his head to look at Shulka, and replied angrily: "You should ask your subordinates, Comrade Captain!"

In fact, there was no need to ask, Shulka knew what was going on, but he went to Valeri anyway.

"Comrade Shulka!" Valery leaned towards Shulka, and reported with a look of pleading for help: "We are not used to pointing our guns at our own people!"

The captain couldn't help but interjected: "I told you, they are not my own people, they are deserters, cowards, and traitors to the motherland!"

Then, the captain turned his gaze to Shulka and said in a commanding tone: "Captain, you know what to do now!"

Shulka gritted his teeth and ordered: "Stand at attention! Get out... Take out your gun!"

Valery and several soldiers drew out their pistols and loaded them according to Shulka's order, and then aimed at the back of the head of the deserter who had been knocked down and kneeling on the ground.

As long as Shulka gave an order, those deserters would immediately splatter blood on the spot.

This may be what Shulka must do, but Shulka has not ordered it for a long time.

The captain looked at Shulka with some dissatisfaction, as if urging him to give the last password.

However, Shulka did not order.

"I want to know something, Comrade Captain!" Shulka said, "Why don't we send these people to the 'punishment camp'?"

"They just escaped from the 'punishment camp'!" The captain replied.

It can be said that escaping from the "punishment camp" is unforgivable.

Because the "punishment camp" also has a "punishment camp" system, it cannot give deserters endless opportunities to enter the "punishment camp"... Escape once to enter the "punishment camp", and escape twice to enter again.

This also means that escaping will not be punished and there is no need to pay a price, so all the soldiers of the "Punishment Battalion" will try to escape, and the "Punishment Battalion" cannot be maintained.

At this time, a deserter shouted in a hoarse voice: "You bastards, can you be more straightforward? How long do you have to wait?!"

The captain was so angry that he ordered loudly: "Shoot!"

But Valery and the others did not move, they only obeyed Shulka's order.

"I said, shoot!" The captain's tone increased, but no one took him seriously.

The captain was so angry that he pulled out his pistol and stepped forward, cursing unceremoniously: "They say you are a heroic army and have killed many enemies. I think you are no different from these deserters..."

While speaking, he pointed the pistol at the deserter's head from behind.

But was stopped by Shulka.

"What if I'm willing to take them?" Shulka said. "I mean, we need people, we need people to build fortifications, carry supplies..."

"If you need it, we will arrange others for you!" The captain replied: "But they can't!"

"They're going to die anyway!" Shulka replied, "Why not? I'll let them die on the battlefield!"
