Chapter 81 Doubt
To a certain extent, the superior's approach makes sense.
From an intuitive point of view, the officers and soldiers of the 333rd regiment can indeed be called heroes, because they have killed countless enemies and made outstanding achievements.
The problem is that the 333rd regiment broke through without receiving an order to retreat. If this can also be defined as a heroic regiment, then other troops have reason to follow suit.
What's more serious is that the part where the 333rd regiment disguised itself as the Branfenburg troops of the German army was too miraculous. It was able to wear the uniform of the Soviet army and swagger through the German front... Although the reason is very good, that is, Shulka used The trick tricked the Germans.
However, the suspicious high-level Soviet army easily thought of another possibility: Could it be that there were really German spies in the 333rd regiment? They contacted the German army in some way and tacitly let the 333rd regiment walk through the defense line and sneak into the Soviet camp to collect information...
As long as you use your imagination, all kinds of possibilities are possible.
After all, those people are sitting in the office thinking about what the front line is like and how to fight the war. There is nothing they can't think of.
Shulka, who gave advice, is of course a major suspect!
Thinking of this, Shulka couldn't help cursing inwardly, he just answered the sentence: "hot face sticks cold ass"... I have led the troops out of danger time and time again and made great achievements, but time and time again I was beaten suspected of being a spy.
Shuerka remembered the sound of Altu pulling the trigger behind him.
Shuerka did not guess wrong, even the purpose of this low-level instructor sent by the superior is to better monitor Shuerka...It is inconvenient for the high-level instructor to run to Shuerka's platoon every day.
For this reason, Major Gavrilov quarreled with Commissar Fomin.
"I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with Shulka!" Major Gavrilov said: "Altu suspected the same before, but it turns out that Artu is the traitor!"
"We didn't suspect that there was something wrong with Shulka!" Political Commissar Fumin said: "But Comrade Major, you also know that the Germans have planted many spies among us!"
"But why is the deputy instructor placed in the third company?" Major Gavrilov asked.
"We also have arrangements in the second and third battalions!"
"Forget it, Comrade Commissar!" Major Gavrilov said: "You know, they suspect Shulka, thinking that he can't do those things at all, unless he is a German spy!"
At the insistence of Major Gavrilov, Commissar Fumin nodded slowly and reluctantly admitted: "You are right, Comrade Major! I said the same thing, but they didn't believe it! They didn't believe the first The 333rd regiment could break out of Brest so smoothly, unless the Germans deliberately let it go..."
"Intentional release?" Major Gavrilov punched the table: "Those German officers who were killed by us in the headquarters are fake? If they were intentional releases, they would appoint a lieutenant colonel and seven majors. And the traitor Artur fell into our hands?"
"What makes them more suspicious is that we crossed the front line!" Political Commissar Fuming said: "To be honest, this makes me feel like a dream. Until now, I still can't believe that it can really be successful!"
"Me too, Comrade Commissar!" Major Gavrilov said: "But it's true, the Germans have been fooled!"
"We can't be sure of that, can we?"
"I just know it's true!" said Major Gavrilov. "What's more, if Shulka is a spy, why did he come up with the 'chamber camouflage' tactic, which caused a lot of trouble for the Germans. We are now even planning to use this tactic to hold Kyiv!"
Political Commissar Fuming didn't speak, just sighed.
Major Gavrilov caught the sigh: "So, what do they suspect it is?"
"They thought..." Political Commissar Fumin replied: "Thought Shulka was trying to get close to General Kirponos. You know, to get his appreciation, and then transfer Shulka to the Front Army Command..."
"Fuck it!" Major Gavrilov slammed the water glass on the ground, and the iron water glass rolled on the ground while making a "knock empty" sound.
There is a saying that "there is no reason to inflict crimes." If you preconceive that Shulka is a spy, and then use it to deduce his behavior, it will naturally become more and more like it.
"Comrade Major!" Commissar Fumin comforted, "It's not a serious matter, they just suspect... If Shulka is not a spy as you said, then we don't have to worry about anything, do we? "
"Is there really no need to worry?" Major Gavrilov had a blunt personality, and he immediately asked Commissar Fumin: "Comrade Commissar, I told you that Comrade Shulka was almost killed by Alfred when he was in the Brest Fortress." Think about being shot!"
"I guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again!" Commissar Fumin said, "You can rest assured about this, because if Comrade Shulka is proved not to be a spy, then he is a person who has made great contributions to the motherland, especially to defeating the enemy! "
"I hope so!" said Major Gavrilov.
Of course Shulka doesn’t know these things, he doesn’t want to spend time thinking about these issues...Compared to the enemy, these are the most difficult things, because you can’t prove your innocence, because it would be suspected of “covering up”.
So, all you can do is wait, waiting for the day when they no longer doubt, as if your own destiny is in the hands of others, maybe even just a thought.
This feeling makes Shulka very unhappy, but he has nothing to do, at least now he has nothing to do.
Since this is the case, Shulka can only continue to turn his thinking to how to solve the immediate predicament.
This has become Shulka's habit. Whenever he has free time, he searches his memory and considers how to get out of trouble based on the situation in front of him.
Shulka had to think about this, although he sometimes wanted to let everything happen...but the result was that it was difficult for Shulka himself to escape alive.
From this perspective, Shulka is not a "hot face with a cold ass", because he is ultimately for himself and for himself to survive.
Just as Shulka was thinking wildly, there was a whistling sound of shells in the air, and then a shell exploded around.
The Germans attacked.
Although such a rainy day is not suitable for the German army to attack, they, who have always pursued "blitzkrieg", certainly will not just wait in front of the defense line like this.
So, they attacked without the cover of planes and tanks...but soon Shulka found out that he was wrong, and the Germans sent light tanks to cover the attack.
