USSR 1941

This deserter is called Tonya.

In fact, he can't be called a deserter, because they are executing the retreat order, but they are hunted down and collapsed during the retreat... This often happens on the battlefield, so there is a saying on the battlefield that "a really good officer is not Instead of directing troops to attack, they can direct troops to retreat."

This sentence is very philosophical, because the attack often does not require any command art, just pull out the pistol and wave it into the air, shouting: "Comrades, come with me", that's it.

But retreat... At this time, every soldier has no intention of fighting, and the enemy will often chase and kill, so it is easy to turn into a failure like this battle.

Of course, this sentence did not come from the Soviet army, because at this time the Soviet army usually did not have retreat in their dictionary, they only had to attack, attack and attack again.

This is also one of the reasons why the Soviet army lost so badly in the early days of the Soviet-German War. They had no retreat experience from top to bottom.

Shulka is appreciative of Tonya's behavior.

Because there are few people on this battlefield who care about the lives of their comrades like him... This is not to say that they are cold-blooded, but that there are too many people who die too often. Numbness and habit, of course, it does not rule out that in danger, you can't take care of yourself, so you can't take care of others.

And Tonya tried to save his comrades at such a life-threatening moment. Although the method was wrong and he failed, it at least proved that he was not a selfish or cowardly person.

"How can you shoot another living person?" He was still struggling with this question when the medics were bandaging Tonya's wound: "And they are still your comrades in arms, they are comrades, and they also have parents..."

Shulka rested with his back against the trench and ignored him, Shulka would not waste any more words on what had already been explained.

The same was true of the others, who thought Tonya was frightened, so they kept repeating nonsense.

"You should leave here sooner!" The thief said impatiently to Tonya, "to quiet my ears, I don't want to be bombed by you after being bombed by the Germans..."

"Oh, is it?" Tonya became angry: "After you killed my comrades, my platoon commander, and company commander, you blamed me for 'bombing' you. If possible, I really want to have one." Really bombed!"

"Shut up, you idiot!" The veteran said, "This is an order from your superiors. If you have any opinions, you can..."

The veteran suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say this, because it was passing the responsibility to his superiors, so he stopped talking in time.

"But you did it, didn't you?"

"What's your name?" the actor asked.

"Tonia, Ivanochka Tonya!"

"Comrade Tonya!" said the actor, "why don't you lay the blame on the Germans and avenge them by killing a few enemies?"

"We have already done this!" Tonya said indignantly, "You must not know...my comrades and I stood on the defensive line for seven days, seven days! We repelled the enemy's attack after attack and killed one Another enemy, we are ready to sacrifice, but we never thought that...we will fall under the guns of our own people, and die in front of our own people's positions!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help being silent.

Before that, everyone believed it was the right thing to do.

However, after listening to Tonya's complaint, everyone had doubts.

It's not doubtful exactly, because the Warriors would do it again if it happened again.

But everyone will be thinking in their hearts, if it is themselves instead of Tonya who fell in front of the battle, what would they think if they had experienced the same experience, bleeding and sweating on the front line, but died at the hands of their own people?

It's no wonder that Tonya can't let go of her chatter.

This is not a simple statement of right and wrong.

After dressing the wound, Tonya left the trench and continued east. This was his task, and they had to rush to build another line of defense.

Before leaving, Tonya said bitterly to the soldiers stationed in the trench: "I will wait for you in the next line of defense!"

Although Shulka knew that Tonya's words were just angry words, the soldiers still felt a chill.

The next day was a lucky day for the 333rd Regiment, as it began to rain heavily before dawn.

The thunder rumbled in the air like the German 600MM caliber mortars, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky and hit people's bodies painfully. It became a sewage ditch.

The Soviet soldiers wanted to leave the trenches to hide from the rain, but were quickly stopped.

"Do not leave your post without an order!" Major Gavrilov ordered.

This order is correct, because the trench is only one meter one, even if it is completely filled with stagnant water, no one will be drowned.

But if the soldiers left the trenches, it meant that the Germans could easily break through their lines of defense.

"What the hell weather is this!" the actor couldn't help cursing, although he wrapped the cut tobacco in a tarpaulin immediately, but it also meant that he couldn't smoke a cigarette beautifully at least at this time.

"Welcome to Kyiv, comrade!" Leonyev replied: "It's the rainy season in Kyiv now, I'm afraid it will be in heavy rain for some time in the future!"

"Oh, fuck it!" the actor yelled.

"You should be glad, Okunev!" Shulka replied.

"Lucky? What's so lucky about this weather?"

"Because of the heavy rain, the German planes can't take off!" Shulka said: "And their tanks will get stuck in the mud!"

"Yes!" The veteran continued: "Their convoy will also be blocked due to bad road conditions!"

"Know what this means?" Shulka asked. "It is difficult for the Germans to attack, or it is difficult for them to launch an attack with tanks and aircraft as the vanguard. We may easily get through the day and retreat into the The next line of defense!"

The soldiers in the trenches couldn't help cheering, this was what they most wanted to hear.

But the actor muttered: "I would rather take a sip in good weather..."

Of course, this quickly aroused protests.

"Can I ask a question, Comrade Sergeant?" Leonyev walked over to Shulka across the stagnant water.

"What?"

"We just found out that you are from Brest!" Leonyev said. "I mean me and the other recruits, we want to know... if you are the one that broke out from Brest!"
