Chapter 566 The Suspected

Although it was just a half-joking complaint, the truth is indeed exactly what Lavrinenko said. In recent times, Lavrinenko has almost become a full-time microphone for Malashenko, and he has also These are all tasks that can easily offend people.

After sending Lavrinenko away to send a message to Karamov, Malashenko, who had some free time, finally had the opportunity to continue bragging to Lieutenant Vasily.

Lieutenant Vasily, who had just received Malashenko's instructions, was now leading people to play with the weapons on the truck.

Although it is the first time for many of these militiamen to come into contact with these German standard weapons that they have never seen before, the operating principles of the weapons are basically the same, but it is not very difficult to master these unfamiliar equipment. The vast majority of militiamen They were playing with the German equipment in their hands and were full of praise for it.

Lieutenant Vasily, who was tinkering with a ZB26 light machine gun in his hand, saw Malashenko walking towards him again, and immediately spoke with a very happy expression.

"Comrade Malashenko, these weapons are really great! Look at this machine gun, it's just like a new one!"

He has a natural hobby and extraordinary talent in machinery-related fields. All weapons that have passed through the hands of Captain Karamov are maintained in order and look like new. This is one of the biggest advantages of Karamov that Malashenko admires very much. one.

Looking at the shiny silver Czech ZB26 light machine gun in the arms of Lieutenant Vasily, Malashenko felt mixed emotions about his special feelings for this weapon.

In the far east, countless Chinese soldiers are using this weapon to shed their lives and blood to bravely fight against the Japanese fascist invaders for the future of the motherland. There is almost no weapon that is more representative than the Czech ZB26 light machine gun. A passionate era of anti-Japanese war.

He reached out to take the Czech ZB26 light machine gun from Lieutenant Vasily, checked the magazine and pulled the bolt. The crisp sound of the barrel impact immediately echoed in Malashenko's ears. It is rare to use a light machine gun in personal combat. Malashenko couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"The guns are good guns, Comrade Vasily, I hope you can put these weapons to good use and let those fascist lackeys see how powerful we are!"

Unaware of Malashenko's morale-boosting words, and unable to understand Malashenko's inner meaning, the simple-minded Lieutenant Vasily responded with a firm tone.

"Of course, Comrade Malashenko! I will let those fascist invaders see the power of the Red Army! Since retreating from the Kiev front line, I have been holding back my energy and waiting for today's arrival!"

"Huh? Kiev? Have you ever been to the front line?"

I originally thought that Lieutenant Vasily was just an ordinary junior officer in the local garrison who had never been on the battlefield, but judging from the current situation, it seems that Malashenko's thinking was too simple.

Lieutenant Vasily, who smiled at Malashenko's question and had no need to hide his past experience, then gave an affirmative and confident answer.

"Yes, Comrade Malashenko. During the previous battle in Kiev, my large army and I were dispersed by the Germans. The last order I received was to find a way to break out. At that time, artillery fire was flying all over the place, bullets were flying, and there were collapses everywhere. The Red Army troops cannot contact anyone who can command us, and the Germans are like all-pervasive demons who may appear in front of us at any time. "

"I couldn't contact my superiors, so I could only lead people to break out according to the established orders. I led a company of soldiers to kill at least hundreds of Germans along the way, and escaped three times of encirclement and interception! Although I only led one out in the end The soldiers of the class, but we really succeeded! The Germans didn’t catch up with us in the end!”

For those who have narrowly escaped death, the experience of risking their lives can only be boasted. Malashenko, who had the same experience, was not too surprised by Lieutenant Vasily's slight excitement.

"Didn't you return to the front line after that? Lieutenant Vasily, there should be a shortage of experienced grassroots commanders and combatants like you on the front line."

Seeing Malashenko's slight confusion, Lieutenant Vasily, who smiled helplessly with a look of regret, couldn't help but shake his head.

"In fact, I really wanted to go back, Comrade Malashenko. But I later learned that the squad I brought out was the only remaining unit of our entire division. Everyone from the division commander on down had died in Kiev, or Into those German prison camps."

"Someone accused me of leaving the army without authorization and disobeying the orders of my superiors. I don't know who stabbed me in the back. I only know that those who came to examine my charges are genuine. My application to return to the frontline army has been rejected many times. Later, for some unknown reason, I was sent to Stalingrad and asked to form and train a militia unit.”

After hearing this, Malashenko basically understood what was going on.

The story of a total of 600,000 troops surrendering and becoming German prisoners of war is so horrifying. If such a period of history had not been recorded in the books, Malashenko would not have believed that it was true.

Political Commissar Petrov had told Malashenko more or less about the follow-up review of the troops who broke out from Kiev. Because there were so many troops that surrendered, the political system was basically strengthened for those troops that were able to break out from Kiev. review.

Even Political Commissar Petrov was unable to determine whose superiors suspected that the breakout of the troops was intentional by the Germans, and that some traitors who attempted to destroy the motherland and undermine the Red Army were mixed in with the purpose of allowing the breakout troops to fight. After joining the Red Army, they caused more damage.

Although even Political Commissar Petrov felt that this reason was too ridiculous and far-fetched, the order from his superiors forced Commissar Petrov to follow the script and follow the procedures.

While working at the Lubyanka Hotel, Commissar Petrov, who wore a blue-brimmed hat, reviewed many officers who had retired from the front lines in Kiev.

Political Commissar Petrov sometimes even felt that this was an insult to the Red Army soldiers who were fighting bloody battles on the Kiev front. Remembering that he lost an arm in Kiev, Political Commissar Petrov could only sigh about his work during that period. .

Malashenko, who did not expect to meet a client here, was a little surprised, but Lieutenant Vasily, who looked quite simple and determined in front of him, seemed to Malashenko to be the same as a traitor to the motherland. It has nothing to do with it.
