The interrogation of the prisoners of war was carried out by Haldeman, and in order to obtain valuable information earlier, the traitors hiding inside the prisoners of war quickly confessed to Asanov. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to him, there is also the initiator of the escape plan. It was only because Haldeman knew that they planned to escape, and that he really carried it out on a small scale yesterday, that his patience with the prisoners of war had reached the limit, and the leader of them was detained during last night's interrogation.

The man was not directly executed, but the people who returned to the camp were already rumoring that their "boss" had been shot and that their escape plan had been revealed. Immediately, the people were panicked, and even Asanov, who had sworn that his escape would be successful, was a little shaken.

In order to inspire people, he resolutely made it clear to everyone about the encounter with the guerrillas, and the so-called original day must be acted in order, otherwise it will be meaningless to prepare for so long.

During this period, there were fears that the Germans would strengthen their defenses, after all, the operation was clearly exposed. The rhetoric of failure is very anachronistic at the moment, and even those who doubt the success of the escape have a deep desire for the plan to succeed.

In order to dispel everyone's concerns, Asanov simply added to the fire: "Although they did not tell me the number, it has been implied that they are the same unit that fought with the Germans a month ago." They are very powerful, and I can see that they are equipped with a lot of heavy weapons, and they are lying in ambush in the forest! As soon as we escape to the forest, we will soon be settled and freed! The person who fled yesterday was free, and I wanted to follow suit, but the officer told me to come back, hoping that I could take everyone away! ”

Freedom seems to be at hand, just go into the forest and get rid of the Germans completely!

Asanov became the new spiritual leader of the POWs in an instant, and the low mood of the people was swept away. The planned date will not change, it doesn't matter if it's a sacrifice, people at least see the possibility of success, because someone has already succeeded, and it's worth the risk!

It was a good feeling to be loved, and Asanov had just been excited for a while when a group of German soldiers rushed into the prisoner of war camp, and the originally happy people trembled again.

One of the officers yelled sternly: "Who is Asanov, stand up!" ”

The crowd simply stood straight, and Asanov was a little overwhelmed.

"Who is Asanov? Stand out! This is the last chance, otherwise all the prisoners of war will be sentenced to death! ”

What the hell is going on? No one knows, but they are very convinced that if Asanov does not come out at this time, everyone will die now!

A dramatic scene ensued, several prisoners of war pushed together, and Asanov was pushed away from the crowd.

He was still a little at a loss, and the officer asked decisively: "So you are Asanov, very good, come with us." ”

Without Assanov speaking, two soldiers stepped forward with gloomy faces and carried him away.

The plan really couldn't keep up with the change, and this man had just been elected as the new leader and arrested again. People's self-confidence, which has just been ignited, is now being poured with cold water alive.

Asanov couldn't help but get nervous about the prospects, "Am I going to be righteous now?" No! I don't want to die! ”

Unfortunately, many things were out of his control, and he was placed in a separate cell on Haldeman's orders. It was used exclusively for the interrogation of prisoners, and to put it bluntly, for disobedient prisoners of war. So in order to make it honest, a variety of punishment tools are set up here.

Haldeman didn't believe that prisoners of war or guerrillas would tell everything they knew, or that they were disobedient, and the only way to get them to submit was to use violent means to get them to their knees.

So Asanov couldn't help but explain that he was first pulled out of his cotton clothes, wearing only underwear, and was hung up and whipped up, and when Haldeman, who had eaten lunch, arrived, there were already a few bright red blood paths on his back and chest, and the whole person's spirit tended to be decadent.

Haldeman was taken aback by Asanov's motionless appearance, and he angrily said to the soldiers of the Eastern Battalion with whips: "Are you crazy? I know you hate Stalin's supporters to the core, but whip him and you won't get any information he knows! ”

At this time, Asanov slowly raised his head with a wry smile and muttered hard: "Idiot, this injury can't kill me at all!" ”

Holdman, who was furious, turned around and was relieved to see that the prisoner was still alive. He asked the interpreter next to him what it meant.

The interpreter naturally told the truth, and Haldeman admired such a tough guy, and he said: "It seems that you are very strong, and this injury really will not take your life." I don't want you to die, as long as you say what I want to know, you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”

"Never!" Asanov mustered all his strength, and a hoarse roar came from the cell.

"Let's save all this effort! You are already too weak, and if you continue, even the strongest body will collapse. ”

The interpreter relayed that Haldeman brought a chair and sat down, watching the prisoner's reaction.

Asanov did not say a word to the inquiry, and the silent confrontation was very unpleasant.

But Haldeman has his own magic weapon, and he deliberately said: "In the past, the captives we captured were easily submitted, but there were also some ultra-patriotic people, and these people were usually shot directly. Are you going to be a hero? But just because you're dead doesn't mean your escape plan will be successful. Your mastermind has been executed, and the rest of you, including everyone in the camp, should be shot. Your every move is under the surveillance of the Third Reich, and the flight was scheduled for the early hours of March 26? It's impossible to succeed. ”

These words were extremely lethal, and Assanov had not yet realized that the prisoners of war were so innocent, and Haldeman could guess from his sudden change in expression that he was now very shocked and annoyed.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say now? As I said, some of the captives easily cooperated with us, and there were my informants in the prisoner of war camps who betrayed you and your plans. You think you'll be able to escape in the dark when the time comes? Don't be stupid, on the night of the 25th, we will be able to wipe you all out. ”

Asanov was willing to come back and guide everyone, and he was able to endure as a prisoner of war until now, all for the sake of one conviction - to free more people.

So Haldeman's words were first shocked, then skeptical. He gasped and roared, "I don't believe it! Are you all lying? ”

In contrast to the prisoner's anger was Haldeman's cocked legs. He said with a haughty and contemptuous face: "Lies? Who do you think you are? You've got five million people taken captive (an exaggeration). Or think about yourself, smart people will choose to cooperate, are you going to die for Stalin? You go and ask those Ukrainians (referring to some soldiers of the Eastern Battalion), are they willing to die for Stalin? Just ten years ago, millions of Ukrainians were starved to death by your so-called leaders! ”

The Holodomor in Ukraine undoubtedly created a great deal of opposition and independence ambitions against the Soviet Union, and when the Germans arrived, a large number of Ukrainians welcomed them. Ukrainian kulaks, Tsarist Russians, and nationalists, persecuted by the Soviet Union, quickly took a stand against the Bolsheviks. But it took only one year for Germany to turn a potentially huge ally into the strongest supporter of the Soviet Union, and that's a story for another time.

Asanov is not a Ukrainian and knows very little about what happened to Ukrainians. All he knew was that these Nazis had committed a large number of war crimes, such as the killing of civilians and the random massacre of prisoners of war.

So, how can a true warrior yield to his enemies?

Asanov also put on a posture of wanting to kill or chop casually, Haldeman turned his head and said to the two whip-wielding people: "Water torture, kill his sharp spirit!" ”
