Chapter 8: to prove

Chapter 8 Proof

"Shameless lie!" Unsurprisingly, the instructor broke out after a while of silence: "Conjecture with ulterior motives, you finally showed your fox tail, Shulka, you are a poor traitor, a sinner of the Soviet Union..."

While saying these words, the instructor even pulled out the pistol from his waist.

"Altu!" Major Gavrilov blocked the instructor's movement with his hand.

"Major, don't you understand?" the instructor shouted: "The fact is clear, this guy was bought by the Germans, and he told us these lies in order to hope that we would abandon the Brest Fortress so that the Germans could easily Occupy here!"

"But we don't know that!"

"How can our army retreat across the board? It's only been five hours since the start of the war. You must know that our Western Special Military Region is stationed in this area!" (Note: The Western Special Military Region was renamed the Western Front Army after the outbreak of the war, the commander General Pavlov)

"Then how do you explain that until now there were no planes and no reinforcements!"

Hearing this, the instructor couldn't help being stunned. He stared at Major Gavrilov for a while, and then said seriously: "Comrade Gavrilov, you won't believe what this traitor said, right? I have to remind you , you are our commander, the soldiers trust you, you should be responsible to them, to the fortress, to the motherland..."

"I am responsible to them, Comrade Artur!" said Major Gavrilov. "That's why we have to find out. I must remind you, too, that five hours ago no one believed that the Germans would respond to us." Launch an attack, and similar statements will be censored as lies. But now, the guns of the Germans are in front of us, their planes are circling above us, and their artillery shells are flying to the fortress in pieces. Explosion among us!"

Major Gavrilov didn't say it explicitly, but everyone knows that it was his personal experience... It is not a secret that Major Gavrilov will be censored, and many people know it.

After thinking for a while, the instructor objected: "I admit that what you said is right. We made mistakes in our judgment of the Germans, but this does not mean that what the traitor said is right. Our army is impossible..."

"Why don't we ask for proof?" Shulka interrupted.

Shuerka is very dissatisfied with the instructor's practice of labeling people as traitors without investigation, and may even be shot to show the public.

"Shut your mouth!" The instructor didn't intend to give Shulka the right to speak at all. If it wasn't for Major Gavrilov's support, Shulka might have been **** and gagged long ago.

"Yes, we can verify it!" Major Gavrilov nodded in agreement.

The first method Major Gavrilov thought of was reconnaissance. He sent three armored reconnaissance vehicles to the city of Brest tens of kilometers behind for reconnaissance... There is a division of the Soviet army stationed there. If they can be contacted, then Not only will the truth come to light, but it is also likely to ask for reinforcements.

But it is obviously not going to work, the Germans will not let the Soviets out easily, especially during the day.

More than an hour later, the three armored reconnaissance vehicles returned to the headquarters. There were many potholes on the armor. Lieutenant Timka, who was in charge of commanding the armored reconnaissance convoy, was wounded and his head was wrapped with a **** bandage.

"Comrade Major!" Timka reported to Major Gavrilov: "The exits are all blocked by the Germans with burning cars, and a tank was found at the east exit, we can't rush out!"

Major Gavrilov nodded helplessly, and Timka went down to rest.

The Soviet army could not rush out for reconnaissance, so they had to capture a few prisoners from the German army for interrogation... The Germans would definitely know much more information than the besieged Soviet army, even a few small soldiers were no exception.

On the other hand, when the battle was so fierce, it was not difficult to capture a few prisoners. In the melee, a few German soldiers would always be injured, and a few would always be captured alive, but the Soviet soldiers did not keep any prisoners.

So Major Gavrilov ordered the troops: "Be careful to catch a few alive!"

Then there is waiting.

But this method quickly went bankrupt.

Soon after the order was issued, a loudspeaker shouted from the direction of the German army, speaking in authentic Russian: "Comrades from the Kobrin Fortress, I am Second Lieutenant Yegors of the 53rd Infantry Regiment, Soviet Army Already routed, you are surrounded, no one will come to your rescue...Give up! There is no point in resisting! The Germans keep the prisoners safe!"

(Note: The Brest Fortress is divided into four fortresses, and Major Gavrilov and others are stationed at the Kobrin Fortress in the north)

Obviously, this is the German army in order to disintegrate the defensive will of the Soviet army, so they forced the Soviet prisoners to shout into the fortress.

If this call was delayed for a few hours, the German army's goal might still be achieved, but at this sensitive moment something bad happened... It even almost killed Shulka.

"Look!" The instructor turned his head and stared at Shulka who was once again under control: "The enemy's caliber is surprisingly consistent with this traitor. Doesn't this explain the problem? All of this is a German conspiracy!"

Shulka was speechless for a moment. The Germans' shouting did not mean that it was a lie, they were just telling the truth.

But the problem is that Shulka can't prove it.

More importantly... capturing prisoners has become meaningless, because the information obtained from the prisoners may also be of a unified caliber in advance, as the instructor said, these are all lies, the purpose is to let the Soviet army abandon Brest fortress.

"What else do you have to say?" the instructor asked.

Shulka jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash himself away. He turned his eyes to Major Gavrilov for help, but he was helpless.

"Pay his gun!" The instructor smiled triumphantly: "Take this traitor out!"

Needless to say what it means to take it out, Shulka couldn't help but lamented in his heart, he didn't expect to finish his journey in this world so quickly, and he still died like this, full of injustice and injustice.

In a few days, the truth will come out, but that doesn't mean anything to Shulka anymore.

The instructor held a gun in one hand and pushed Shuerka out.

It could be seen that the instructor was preparing for a quick battle, so he chose an open space on the right side of the headquarters... Anyway, this is a battlefield, and it doesn't matter where there is an extra corpse.

"Kneel down!" The instructor fired the gun while ordering.

However, at this moment, Major Gavrilov ran out of the headquarters and shouted: "Wait, Comrade Artur! You should come and listen to this!"
