Pixin strode toward the door with the air of the interior department commander. It seemed that he wanted to use the official authority to deter the soldiers gathered outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped up the steps and walked out of the door, another arrow came back and yelled at the lieutenant who came to report: "Lieutenant, are you blind? There are more than 100 people coming from outside, but I can see that there are more than 300 people. "
The lieutenant, who had been scolded by him, scratched the back of his head and said wrongly, "but, comrade, member of the municipal Party committee, before I came in just now, I counted it in person. There are really only more than 100 people?"
After scolding the lieutenant, Pixin came to me again and said angrily, "Captain o'shanina, why are there hundreds of your subordinates outside? What do they want to do? Do they want to rebel? I warn you, don't think that if you let so many soldiers surround the headquarters, you can escape the fate of going to the military court. "
Listening to what he said, I felt particularly aggrieved. I said that as soon as you came in, I was under the control of the soldiers you brought. I neither left the headquarters nor called anyone. How can I know what happened outside?
While I was thinking about how to defend myself, kirilov stood by and said, "comrade, member of the municipal Party committee, I think you may have misunderstood Colonel oshanina."
"What, I'll misunderstand her. Why?" Asked Pixin, puzzled.
Kirilov pointed to the door and said, "comrades of the municipal Party committee, I would like to remind you that since we entered the headquarters, Colonel oshanina has been in our field of vision. She has neither left this room nor made a phone call. Therefore, it is totally wrong for you to say that she sent someone to surround the headquarters."
After listening to kirilov's words, Pixin nodded with shame and murmured, "Comrade kirilov, you have a point. Maybe I'm too nervous to say the wrong thing." Then, he straightened his body and ordered the indifferent Commander: "Comrade commander, what are you still doing? Don't you want to be taken away by others."
The lieutenant agreed and gestured to the second lieutenant standing behind me. With his order, the second lieutenant quickly let two soldiers seize my arm and pull me up, holding me to walk out.
"Please wait a moment," I tried to break free from the hands of the two soldiers behind me. I didn't expect that they were so powerful that they didn't break free. But I still tried to shout out what I wanted to say: "I'm going to call general trakov and report your behavior to him."
I didn't expect that after listening to this, piksin could only Snort and said coldly, "our investigation team is under the command of Comrade chuyanov. That is to say, except for Comrade chuyanov, not to mention general trakov, even general shumilov of the 64th army has no right to interfere in any decision we make. " With that, he waved his hand to the commander decisively and ordered in an indisputable tone: "take it away!"
I was carried to the door by two soldiers. When I looked out, I was startled. I didn't expect that there were so many people on the hillside outside. Hundreds of soldiers with weapons surrounded the headquarters. They were staring at the soldiers of the interior department standing guard at the door.
The soldiers of the Ministry of internal affairs, who were on guard outside the door, were obviously frightened by such a scene. It is estimated that the situation that ordinary officers and soldiers dare to fight against them has never happened in their memory. Although they also carry weapons in their hands, they tremble when they point at their guns, which are hundreds of times more than themselves. It was not easy to see his superior come out of the headquarters, so he looked at Pixin and their lieutenant commander at the door, hoping to get the next order from them.
With our appearance, there was a commotion in the originally silent crowd, and then several commanders desperately squeezed out of the crowd, came to me and raised their hands to salute me. I fixed my eyes on basmanov, Godunov and razumeyeva. They all had guns in their hands. It seemed that they had a lot of piksin. If they forced me to go, they would not hesitate to use force to save me.
Although the lieutenant commander of the interior department saw hundreds of people outside the house, he still bravely yelled at them: "what are you doing here, don't you see that we are carrying out the task? I order you to go back to your respective camps immediately, so as not to affect our investigation team in handling the case. "
As soon as his voice fell, the crowd did not know who yelled: "brothers, these people want to catch our teachers, we must not let them leave."
His words immediately aroused the resonance of the soldiers on the scene, and everyone immediately began to shout.
"Yes, if the division commander is captured, then we will be sent back to Gulag again."
"Kill them all and get the teacher back."
As all the soldiers were trying to push forward, several interior department soldiers who were so crowded in front of me had to retreat again and again.
"Be quiet, everyone be quiet!" At the height of the chaos, Godunov raised his weapon and yelled, "let me negotiate with them."
After the soldiers on the scene calmed down, Godunov stepped forward two steps, pushed the two soldiers of the Ministry of interior out of his way, came to Pixin's face, and asked aloud, "this leading comrade, I want to ask, what's wrong with our division commander, why do you want to arrest her?"
Having reached this point, Pixin could not let go of his airs as a member of the municipal Party committee. He snorted heavily and said with disdain, "Lieutenant, your rank is too low to be involved in this matter." Then he turned his head and yelled at the commander: "commander, what are you still doing? Take the man away immediately!"
The commander was about to order his men to take me away by force. Unexpectedly, Godunov had raised his gun, pointed the black muzzle at the commander, and said harshly, "Comrade commander, I don't care who you are, but if you want to take my teacher away by force, I will shoot you without hesitation."
Godunov's action immediately received everyone's response. All the people raised their guns and pointed the black muzzle at the members of the investigation team around me. Even basmanov, the commander of the guard battalion with one arm hanging on his chest, had a pistol in his uninjured hand.
Pixin burst into a rage, raised his voice and roared: "what do you want to do? You just pointed the gun at the superior leader. Do you want to rebel?" Although the voice is very high, but I still recognize his voice because of shaking and changed the tone.
Kirilov quickly came out to make a round. He raised his hands, waved desperately, and said in a loud voice, "comrades, please listen to me. I am the director of the Political Department of the 64th group army. I am here today to understand the battle that took place near Huirang station yesterday. Now captain o'shanina has not been arrested by us. He just wants to go back and help us investigate some things. Please don't worry. " With that, he turned around and whispered to the two soldiers who were holding me up
Although kirilov comforted everyone a few words, the guns in the soldiers' hands were still not put down, and they still pointed at the members of the investigation team.
Pixin came up to me and said in a low voice, "Captain oshanina, I warn you that if your men dare to continue to stop us from leaving, the consequences will be very serious."
As soon as his words were finished, kirilov came up to me and said softly, "I know what happened yesterday, Colonel o'shanina. It's not your responsibility. You just need to go back with us and make it clear. If your soldiers forcibly prevent us from leaving, it will not be a good end if we make a big mistake. "
After listening to kirilov's words, my mind immediately began to fight between heaven and man. Is it time to order the soldiers to lay down their weapons and then return to Stalingrad with them obediently, waiting for their disposal of me? Or do I simply ask my subordinates to kill all the members of the investigation team, and then I take the troops away and go to Germany?
These are extraordinary times. If I follow them back to Stalingrad and be put on trial in a military court, I'm afraid I can hardly escape death according to the principle of being strict and quick. It's impossible to kill the investigation team and pull the troops to join the German army. It's completely possible for this group of prisoners from Gulag concentration camp to become a reality. You know, they suffered all kinds of hardships in the concentration camp. Now in my division, they not only get rid of the status of prisoners, but also will not be used as cannon fodder by their superiors. But all they have now will come to an end when I am sent to the military court. When the new Commander arrives, their tragic fate will begin. Because of this, it is not difficult for me to pull away this army with low loyalty to Stalin.
I turned to look at the nervous Pickering and lieutenant commander, and then at kirilov, who was standing in front of me with a smile on his face. I had a good feeling for this political worker from the Central Committee. If he was to be buried with Pickering, I couldn't bear it. That's why I can't make up my mind. I scanned the crowd again. Except for such Lieutenant officers as Godunov, basmanov and razumeyeva, shijerikov, kosja, gedar and even the acting head of the second regiment, Pugachev, who was promoted by me, couldn't even see a shadow. Were they deliberately avoiding me for fear of being implicated by me? I can't help feeling a chill when I think of it.
Pixin saw that I did not speak. In order to avoid a long night's dream, he once again ordered the commander: "Comrade commander, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let your soldiers take captain oshanina away immediately."
Hearing his order, the commander said in embarrassment: "comrade, member of the municipal Party committee, don't you see hundreds of guns pointing at us? If we go a little bit too far, I think they will not hesitate to open fire and beat all of us into a sieve. "
Pixin asked reluctantly, "do they dare to do this?"
The commander replied with a wry smile, "I think they will. Comrades of the municipal Party committee, for the sake of our safety, I advise you not to take this risk. "
When Pixin finished listening, he shut up.
Just as the sword was drawing, high dust was rising on the dirt road in the distance, and we could see that several armored vehicles were coming towards us. Seeing the armored car suddenly appeared, I looked at Pixin in front of me. I couldn't help hating him. My heart said that in order to catch me, you even sent out armored cars.
Although there are a large number of soldiers outside the headquarters, they all have light weapons in their hands. If armored vehicles rush to open fire on them, they have no fighting power at all. It seems that we need to start first, let the soldiers catch all the members of the investigation team, and then negotiate with the coming armored forces.
When I was about to give the order, Pickering had already given the order by force: "commander, bring oshanina back." With that, he first turned around and ran back to the headquarters. For his orders, the commander did not dare to neglect, did not wait for me to give an order, he commanded his men to carry me back to the room. When I sat down in the prisoner's position again, Pixin, who was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, patted the table and roared: "Colonel oshanina, you are so bold that you mobilized troops to besiege the investigation team sent by the higher authorities, and even used precious armored force to deal with us. What do you want to do? Do you really want to rebel, kill us all, and take the troops to the Germans? " As for his words, I hummed softly, and said to myself that I really had the idea of taking my troops to surrender to the Germans. If it wasn't for kirilov's sake, you would have been killed by my subordinates. Just as I wanted to make a mockery of him, I suddenly thought of what he said, thinking that the armored force just appeared was not with them, so who came here? The answer was soon revealed. First, ten soldiers in helmets and submachine guns rushed in, drove the interior department officers and men aside, collected their weapons, and drove them to the wall to guard them. As the soldiers of the Ministry of interior behind me were taken care of, I was able to stand up calmly. Looking at these soldiers who rushed into the headquarters, I was surprised to find that they were all strangers, not soldiers from the guard camp, and I didn't see basmanov come in with them. Obviously, the order for these soldiers to rush in was not given by them. Then, a general in a cornice hat stepped into the headquarters. Seeing this man, kirilov quickly got up from the table and met him. As they shook hands, "general krailov, what are you doing here?" When I heard kirilov's name, I immediately recognized him as general krailov, the chief of staff of the 62nd group army, who was about one meter old in the headquarters of the front army. Before general krailov spoke, Pixin had become furious: "chief krailov, who gave you the right to hand over the weapons of the soldiers of the Ministry of interior?"“ I gave the order A familiar voice sounded at the door. Hearing this voice, my tears almost burst into my eyes. I knew in my heart that as long as this person appeared, then I would get through the difficulty. Seeing this man's appearance, in addition to the ordinary soldiers of the Ministry of interior, several persons in charge of the investigation team were all surprised. Originally still arrogant, Pixin quickly restrained his angry expression on his face and trotted all the way to this man. After bowing, he stretched out his hands and said respectfully: "Hello, dear Georgi konstantinovic, Welcome to Stalingrad? " With a snort, the man came to me with a heavy step on his back, put his hand on my shoulder, and asked with concern, "are you all right, Rita?" Although I tried my best to control my feelings, when I heard his words, my tears still ran down my cheek, and at the same time, I replied loudly, "report Comrade Zhukov, I'm fine, thank you for your concern!" Zhukov nodded, went to the seat where Pickering had just sat down, looked at Pickering, and asked coldly, "Comrade Pickering, can you tell me what happened here?"
