With the continuous shouts, the officers and men living in the houses opened their doors and ran out one after another. They ran along the street to the village entrance. Several officers were running and shouting: "battle alarm, everyone enter the position immediately."
I saw groups of officers and soldiers running past me and rushing to the fortifications at the entrance of the village. I can't help but stop and think to myself: they don't look like they are going to surrender. Do I misunderstand general Vlasov? Maybe I should stay, pick up the gun and fight with them.
Just as I hesitated, several more people ran past me. There were five people, one officer and four soldiers, all unarmed and unarmed. As they ran, the officer waved his hands and yelled, "stop, no shooting! All stop! No shooting
My heart sank when I heard the officer's cry. Why don't you shoot? Do you want the officers and men to stand there and wait for the Germans to come and catch the prisoners? It seems that I have not misunderstood Vlasov. He is really going to surrender to the Germans.
I was only 30 meters away from the entrance of the village. I could clearly see that the commanders and fighters who had entered the fortification and aimed their guns at the outside of the village were all at a loss when they heard this inexplicable order. But since it was the order from the superior, they could only carry out it honestly. They put down their guns, stood up from the trench and looked at the people running towards them.
The Germans outside the village are slowly approaching under the cover of tanks, perhaps because there is an agreement between the two sides in advance, so they just push into the village instead of firing.
Seeing the Germans getting closer and closer, there were impatient soldiers in the trench shouting: "the Germans are coming up, why can't we shoot? If we wait any longer, we will be captives. "
"No shooting! Again, no one is allowed to shoot! " The commander who went to pass the order was giving it out loud. Then a soldier who passed with him took out a piece of white cloth from his body, hung it on a bayonet rifle, raised it high and waved it desperately to the German army.
The German tanks stopped more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the village and pointed the black muzzle at us. The German infantry probably understood that the garrison in the village had given up their resistance and was waiting for their surrender, so they all seemed very relaxed and came slowly with guns or on their shoulders.
I know that if I wait any longer in the village, I can't escape the fate of being captured again. It's a shame to be captured once. If I'm captured again, I might as well die. But now I'm holding Rita's son, Alec, and I can't die easily, so my brain is spinning fast, thinking about how to escape from here.
I think in the movie, I see the commanders who are defeated, usually change into the clothes of soldiers or common people, and finally get away successfully. I looked down at my tattered military uniform and decided to take a risk. I raised my hand to untie the bun on my head, spread out my hair, tore off the rank on the badge, carefully put it into my pocket and put it with the medals wrapped in steps.
I held Alec in my arms and walked towards the village with my head down. The village gathered the attention of the officers and men, all focused on the approaching Germans, and no one noticed me at all. Only when I walked out of the village to meet the German did I hear someone behind me exclaim, "Hey, danger ahead, come back! Come back quickly
Now that I have left the village, I have no intention of going back. I'm gambling that the Germans will treat me as an ordinary citizen, and Alek in his arms undoubtedly increases the chance of winning this kind of gambling.
I walked towards the Germans, and they were coming towards me. In a short time, I met them face to face. The young German soldier in front of me just looked at me with strange eyes, then slightly leaned down and let me pass him. Then the soldiers behind me made way for me one after another. Maybe in their eyes, I was a Russian woman who wanted to run away.
When I was about to walk to the side of the tank, a tank commander who suddenly showed half of his body from the turret pointed at me and yelled a few words, then several soldiers came to surround me in the middle. My heart beat faster, and I said it was over. It seems that today is doomed.
Holding in his arms, alik suddenly burst into tears without warning. He was so sad that my heart was broken. I patted him gently on the back, coaxed him in a low voice, and raised my hand to wipe the tears from his cheek.
Perhaps it was Alec's cry that made the tank commander change his mind. He waved his hand and said a few words, and the German soldiers around me scattered.
Alek just cried for a while when I was stopped by the German. As soon as the German soldiers left, he stopped crying and winked at me mischievously. Only then did I realize that Alec's crying was just a strategy to save me. He was really a little ghost.
Although no one checked and stopped me, I was still in a cold sweat when I walked out of the German attack line without danger. The sweat made my back wet. Judging from the strength of the German army, the troops in the village can't hold on at all. It seems that Vlasov has a certain reason to say that he wants to save the lives of the soldiers.
I don't dare to walk on the road. I'm afraid I'll meet other German troops. I'm afraid they'll be indiscriminate. But whether I'm a soldier or a common people, I'll shoot when I meet them. I dare not walk in the forest. If I get lost, I may starve to death in the forest. Finally, I took a compromise approach and walked forward in the woods more than 20 meters away from the road. The advantage of walking like this is that I am not afraid of getting lost. Even if I find German people on the road, I can avoid them in time. I walked south for four or five hours, about ten kilometers. My physical strength was seriously overdrawn, my steps were getting slower and slower, and my eyesight was gradually blurred. Alex noticed my discomfort and offered, "Mom, let's find a place to rest. I'm hungry and want to eat." I nodded, found a spacious place, put him down, raised his sleeve to wipe sweat, then took out the paper wrapped in bread from my pocket and handed it to Alek. As a result, he opened the paper package, took a piece of dry bread from it, and handed the rest back to me, saying, "Mom, I'll just eat one piece. You can eat the rest." I took the paper bag and took only a piece of dry bread. The rest of it was wrapped up and put in my pocket again, because I didn't know how long it would take to get out of danger. I had to keep the food in case. I was eating when I heard the roar of the tank motor in the distance. I quickly put the bread in my mouth, pulled alik to lie behind a bush and stared at him in a low voice: "alik, don't talk, or they will find out." "I see, mom," alik replied in a low voice The tank was moving from south to north, and soon appeared in my view. As the tank got closer and closer, I could see that it was the Soviet T-34. The tank was moving very slowly. A commander in a helmet and raincoat stood on it, holding the handle on the turret in one hand and looking around with a telescope in the other. Behind him were two tricycles, all of which were soldiers in Soviet uniforms. Because of the previous experience of being captured by Layi, a traitor pretending to be a Soviet army, I still dare not act rashly, even if I see that these people are all dressed up as Soviet army. Just then, Alek excitedly said to me, "Mom, it's our own army." With that, he stood up, waved his hands desperately, and cried out: "Uncle soldier, we are here. Come and help us!" With his cry, the soldier on the tank turned his telescope and looked at our position. The two motorcycles behind also stopped, and the soldiers jumped out of the car, lying on the ground and pointed their guns at us. I was scared out of my wits by Alec's action. I was afraid that those people would shoot me. I could only stand up honestly and hold Alec up. When Alek saw that I was silent, he knew he was in trouble. He hung his head on my shoulder and said nothing. The commander knocked heavily on the turret to stop the tank. He raised his telescope and looked at us for a while, then jumped out of the tank and ran to me without hesitation. My heart finished, this time is really doomed, and when the German captives. The commander ran to a place five or six meters away from me, stopped and asked in a loud voice, "Hello, comrades, are you major o'shanina?" If you can name me, it seems that these Soviet commanders and fighters are not fake. I went over with Alec in my arms. Looking at the strange commander in front of me, I asked curiously, "Comrade commander, do you know me?" The commander saluted me and said, "Hello! Major oshanina, I'm lieutenant boloda, the adjutant of commander meletzkov. I'm ordered to find the headquarters of the second shock group army. Do you know where commander Vlasov is? "
