Chapter 388

In the face of the concern of these subordinates, I was suddenly moved. I didn't expect that I would be so important in their minds. After they met me, they didn't complain about their situation, but they cared about how I was in prison like them.

After everyone was quiet, I said to them apologetically, "brothers, I want to say sorry to you. When I learned that you were captured, I argued with the secret service staff, and even drew a gun to threaten them. Unfortunately, not only did I not save you, but also I was arrested myself. "

Hearing what I said, a lieutenant was stunned at first and then blurted out: "Comrade division, you said that after you knew about our arrest, you had an argument with the people in the secret service, and even pulled out the gun?"

I nodded and answered positively, "yes, when lieutenant turchinov of the secret service refused to release you, I did pull out my pistol and put it on the table. If I threatened him not to release you, he would not be able to get out of our 378 division."

"Comrade teacher, what happened then?" Someone asked curiously.

The lieutenant slapped the man on the back of the head and reproached him discontentedly: "what else? Sergey, you idiot, didn't you see the teacher put in here? " Then he looked at me and said bitterly, "Comrade teacher, you shouldn't. You shouldn't conflict with the secret service for us. You know, you are in danger. "

I tried to squeeze out a smile, pretended nothing happened, and said to them, "it's my fault. When I went back to the headquarters, I didn't find that the soldier standing guard at the gate was not from the guard company, but was replaced by a soldier from the secret service department. If I find out earlier, maybe I can take the soldiers of the guard company to hold all the people in the secret service, and use them to exchange you back. "

The lieutenant waved his hand and said, "it's a good thing you didn't do that at that time, comrade division. Otherwise, the consequences would have been serious."

"Why?" Listening to what the lieutenant said, I was very curious to find out what the consequences would be, so I couldn't help asking.

"Sir, please take a seat first." The lieutenant didn't answer my question directly. Instead, he asked me to sit down on a board in the corner of the wall. After the other commanders squatted around, he continued: "even if you mobilize the guard company to rescue us today, soon the superior will classify this as a rebellion, and may send troops to suppress it. We are now locked up here, and we may be released soon. If there is a military conflict with the people in the secret service section, then there is no room for recovery. There is only one end waiting for us, that is, all of us will be shot. "

Sergey, who had just been hit by him, asked curiously, "I said Peter valov, do you think we will be released or shot when we are locked here?"

Peter valov, the lieutenant, glared at him fiercely, raised his hand and tried to beat him again. Sergey learned to be smart this time. He tilted his head back and dodged. Then he muttered, "if you have something to say, I'll just ask him casually. Don't try to hit people all the time."

Instead of paying attention to Sergei, Petrov turned to me and asked, "Comrade division, when we were arrested, the secret service said that we were vlasovians and suspected of collaborating with the enemy, so we had to arrest them all. Do you know what's going on? General Vlasov is the commander of our second shock group army. Is something wrong with him? "

"Yes, sir, can you tell us what happened?" The rest of the commanders echoed.

I can't help but be stunned to hear that. Don't they even know the real reason why they were arrested? So I couldn't help asking strangely, "don't you know about Vlasov?"

People on the scene listened to me, looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "I don't know. We were all arrested by secret service soldiers who suddenly rushed in while we were having lunch in the restaurant."

Since they didn't know about it, I had to explain it to them. I coughed, cleared my throat and said, "according to reliable information, general frasov, the former commander of the second shock group army, defected to the enemy the day before yesterday and went on the evil road of being forced to the motherland. He became a shameful traitor."

As soon as I finished, someone rushed to speak and said, "although we were all subordinates of general Vlasov, it's his personal business that he became a traitor, which has nothing to do with us. Why do you arrest us all?"

Peter valov sat on the ground feebly and kept saying, "it's over, it's over, we're all over!"

"What's the matter? Petrov, why do you say we're all going to die? " Sergey asked strangely.

"You all know about marshal Tukhachevsky?" he asked

Everyone nodded and did not speak, waiting for him to continue.

"In June 1937, field marshal Tukhachevsky was relieved from the post of deputy national defense people's Committee and demoted to the post of commander of Volga River military region. At that time, I was one of the guards who escorted him to take office. The day before I left, I had an accident and was sent to the hospital. I had to be replaced by someone else. I lay in the hospital for half a month before I was discharged. When I was discharged, I heard that marshal Tukhachevsky and seven generals, including Yakir, ubolevich, Feldman, Kirk, Edman, primakov and shantner, were arrested by the staff of the Ministry of interior on their way to the military region and handed them over to the Military Commission for trial. After a brief secret trial in a military court, the defendant was executed on the 11th for treason. And the accompanying guards were all executed on the same day. I think we all know what happened later. After the death of Marshal Tukhachevsky, the Ministry of interior carried out a great purge among all the Red Army commanders and fighters, and a large number of commanders who had relations with marshal Tukhachevsky and others were arrested or executed. "

As soon as Peter valov's words came to an end, the room was in a mess. The timid man was so scared that he began to cry: "I'm not a vlasovian. I don't want to die." After shouting, he rushed to the door and banged hard, shouting to the outside: "open the door and let me out. I'm not a vlasovian. I don't want to die."

His shouts alerted the guards at the door. As soon as the guards opened the door, the man tried to rush out of the half open door. Two guards outside stopped him in time, raised the butt of the gun and smashed him in a mess, which broke his head and blood. I quickly walked over and yelled at the two guards: "stop, do you want to kill him?"

The guard stopped his hand, kicked the man lying on the ground in both feet, and dropped a cruel sentence: "I warn you, keep quiet, no one is allowed to talk, or I will be rude to you." With that, he slammed the door.

I squatted down to check the commander, and found that his face was covered with blood. I was startled. I quickly put my finger to his nose and found that he was still breathing. I waved to the crowd standing nearby and said, "carry him over."

Petrov and a few men came over and carried the injured commander to the board I had just sat on. After a brief examination, Peter valov raised his head and said, "it's OK. It's all skin injuries. It'll be fine after a few days."

I waved to everyone and said, "since it's OK, let's have a rest early. Maybe tomorrow we will find out that we have no contact with Vlasov, and we will be released. "

We each found a place, sat down against the wall, and began to close our eyes.

I sat near the door. Although I closed my eyes, I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about what Peter valov said just now. The more I thought about it, the more my heart sank. My calm mood began to fluctuate. I knew that what he said was true. After Tukhachevsky was killed on a false charge, so many people were involved. Now Vlasov's betrayal is a matter of certainty, so it is bound to involve more people. Are we really going to become his funeral objects?

In the early morning of the next day, the guard opened the door and yelled at the door in a bad manner: "hurry up, everyone I slowly stood up, stretched a waist, the activity of a sore body, just in no hurry to follow other people out.

Go outside and have a look. There are so many people! In addition to our room more than a dozen people, the rest of the room people also rushed out, at a glance, a black. At this time, a guard pushed me behind and growled impolitely: "go ahead, don't stop."

The commanders who came out of more than a dozen rooms were thrown together. At this time, Lieutenant turchinov, the chief of the secret service, came over surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers. He stood in front of our team and looked at it. Then he told a second lieutenant behind him, "Lieutenant Matvey, are you ready?"

Lieutenant Matvey immediately nodded and bowed and said, "Comrade section chief, we are ready."

Turchinov nodded and told him, "now that you are ready, take all these people with you."

Lieutenant Matvey agreed and made a sign to the soldiers who were looking after us, so the soldiers who were standing around us immediately came with guns and drove us deep into the forest.

Just now, I heard the conversation between turchinov and Matvey very clearly. As I walked, I was guessing whether turchinov was ready or not and what it meant. If it's for breakfast, we can distribute food in front of the wooden house instead of taking us to the forest. Are you going to shoot us? At the thought of this possibility, I suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Due to wandering, I didn't notice a stake on the ground. I tripped and jumped forward. My head hit the back of a commander in front of me.

The man was caught off guard. He was hit hard by me and cried out in pain. He turned his head and wanted to get angry. Seeing that I was a woman, he slowed down and asked discontentedly, "how do you walk? I don't know. Look at your feet. "

I bumped into someone, a little embarrassed, blushed and apologized to him.

Our team soon came to an open field deep in the forest. In the grass above the knee, there were four groups of people, each of whom was a second lieutenant, a senior soldier and three soldiers. Each of them was holding a stack of thick papers, and one of them was carrying a large cloth bag on his shoulder. See this scene, I began to panic, the heart said, is really put us here to shoot?

Turchinov, who was walking in the front, raised his hand. The second lieutenant Matvey immediately turned around and yelled, "stop the team!" The soldiers escorting us around also yelled: "stop, stop! Stay where you are In the middle of their shouts, the team stopped in place.

Seeing the arrival of turchinov, the four groups trotted towards him. After stopping a few meters away from him, four second captains raised their hands to salute him. Several people began to talk. During the conversation, turchinov pointed to our position from time to time.

After a while, the conversation ended. Turchinov came to us with four lieutenants and their men. After stopping in front of our line, turchinov announced in a loud, expressionless voice, "the commander who will be named will come out later."

With that, he waved his head to the four lieutenants behind him and said, "let's go." The four lieutenants agreed, stepped forward, picked up the papers in their hands and began to call the roll. Soon, four commanders who were named walked out of the team. The second lieutenant gave the documents to his senior officer. The senior officer took the documents and looked at them. Then he nodded to the soldier with the big bag. The soldier quickly opened his pocket and took out a piece of hemp rope from it to the other two soldiers. After taking the rope, the two soldiers rushed to their respective targets and pulled the rope with a loose knot around their necks. When the commander's head was tilted back, they tied the prisoner's hands back. When all this was done, the two soldiers pushed the tied commander forward, and the chief followed. When they stopped 20 meters ahead, the sergeant stood behind the commander, drew the pistol from the holster, held the other side's back of the head and pulled the trigger without hesitation. After a shot, the commander, who was held by two soldiers, was paralyzed. It seemed that he could not survive. The soldier threw his corpse on the ground, turned around and followed the grand master back to the front of our team. Seeing that it really brought us here to be shot, although I tried my best to make my expression look very calm, my hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably. Originally, I thought that after being arrested yesterday, I would be held in the secret service for a period of time. Then someone would try to inform commander meletskov in Moscow about this. In that case, I and the arrested commanders might be released. I didn't expect that the action of the secret service department was so quick. All the people arrested yesterday were shot today. Am I going to die here today? Although I was very afraid, I always held a glimmer of hope that a Savior would come from the sky and rescue me from the edge of death. From time to time, I turned to look in the direction where we had just come, hoping to see meletzkov or other heavyweights appear. As a result, I turned back and was disappointed again and again. It's so quiet in the forest that no one can be seen at all. Just then, I heard the second lieutenant at the front of the queue say a familiar name: "Lieutenant Petrov!" My heart beat faster and said it was my turn to shoot the commander of our division. Sometimes I say good things don't work, and bad things do come true. Then I hear another familiar name: "Lieutenant Sergey!" Before I could find two victims in the queue, I heard my own name again: "major oshanina!" When I heard my name, I was so overwhelmed that I didn't walk out of the queue like other victims. The second lieutenant, whose name was mine, saw that everyone else was out, but I didn't move. He frowned, pointed to me and told his men, "go and get the female major out." With his command, two fierce soldiers rushed into the queue. Without saying a word, they put a rope around my neck, then pulled it back, and quickly tied my hands while my head was leaning back. Soon, I was pushed to the position where they shot people. I found that there was a ditch. The bodies of dozens of commanders who were shot just now were piled up in the ditch. When the cold muzzle of the gun was against the back of my head, I closed my eyes in despair. Bang a gunshot, I can't help a shock, opened his eyes to see, he was still standing well. At this time, I heard turchinov's voice coming from behind, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his voice: "what's the matter? Why don't you shoot? " The muzzle on the back of my head was moved away, and the senior officer replied wrongly: "Comrade lieutenant, it's not that I don't shoot, it's that the gun is stuck."“ It's stuck. I'll change it! " Soon the cold muzzle of the gun stood against the back of my head again. I was completely desperate this time. The gun just jammed, but it won't jam again this time. I'm really finished. At this critical moment, I heard a familiar voice in the distance: "stop! Don't shoot Then the gun on the back of my head moved away again, and I heard tulchinov ask discontentedly, "Comrade General, who are you? What right do you have to stop me from carrying out my orders? " The man replied coldly, "Comrade lieutenant, I'm major general fejiuningsky, commander of the 54th army. I am under the command of the deputy commander to stop you from executing major o'shanina. "“ Deputy commander? I haven't heard. Who is he? "“ General Zhukov, deputy commander in chief appointed by Comrade Stalin himself
