"You make me sick!" Major General Mstislav scolded Colonel Ovich to the core: "How can you take the advice of your subordinates for yourself, and it is also a suggestion that you reject!" ”

"Comrade General, please listen to my explanation!" Colonel Ovich said: "I was about to state that it was Major Gavrilov's suggestion......"

"No, it's my subordinate's suggestion!" Gavrilov said: "I was going to take him to you, but you refused to see him!" ”

"Yes, that's the case!" Colonel Ovich wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to explain: "I have not forgotten these ......"

"So you approve of this tactic, Comrade Colonel?" Major Gavrilov asked.

"Of course, of course I agree!" Colonel Ovich replied.

"When did you approve of it?" Major Gavrilov clearly did not want to let Colonel Ovich go so easily.

Colonel Ovich was speechless, because he could not answer the question.

Commissar Fomin seemed to hear something, and then Major Gavrilov asked: "Comrade Colonel, you knew it was right when we repelled the German attack with the tactics of 'wooden house camouflage', right?" ”

"No...... I don't think it's going to be that simple! Colonel Ovich: "I thought you couldn't withstand the second attack of the Germans!" ”

"So, you knew you were wrong when we repelled the second attack?" Political Commissar Fuming said: "But you didn't report to your superiors in time? As a commander, you should know what this means, it has proven to be an effective tactic in real combat, and it has the potential to turn the tide of battle, but you didn't report it to your superiors in time?! ”

Major General Mstislav also understood the reasoning and understood that this matter might not be as simple as taking a chance.

"We were on the retreat!" Colonel Ovich explained: "You know, the Germans attacked so hard that I didn't have time to ......"

"You're saying you're retreating after we repelled the enemy's second attack?" Major Gavrilov found another loophole.

"When you shamelessly fled, you ordered us not to retreat a single step?!" Political Commissar Fuming said angrily: "And I still believe you, thinking that you have some counteroffensive plan......

"Wait!" Major General Mstislav raised his hand to silence everyone, he looked at Commissar Fomin and asked: "Comrade Commissar, what did you just say?" Who commanded you not to retreat a single step? ”

"Colonel Ovie!" Commissar Fuming replied.

"That's not what he said just now...... Major General Mstislav turned his puzzled gaze to Colonel Ovich and said word by word: "This guy, he told me...... Several times you refused to retreat! ”

There was silence in the command, and it became clear to everyone that Colonel Ovich had deliberately surrounded the 333rd Regiment.

Colonel Ovich reached for the gun on his waist, but Major Gavrilov grabbed it and knocked him to the ground with a punch...... Although Major Gavrilov was wounded in the left hand, he came out of the battlefield more than enough to deal with the colonel, who only stayed in the office and commanded.

"This is a grave act of treason, Comrade General!" Commissar Fomin said: "I demand a thorough investigation into this matter, and I believe that Colonel Ovich is not the only one who knows about it!" ”

"That's right, Comrade Commissar!" Major General Mstislav nodded: "We will take care of this matter, and if you want, you can also participate in our investigation!" ”

"Of course!" Commissar Fuming replied: "This is my duty, Comrade General!" ”

The look in Commissar Fomin's eyes when he said this made Major General Mstislav's heart nervous for no reason.

As a result, the entire officers and men of the 79th Division, with the exception of the 333rd Regiment, were brought under control.

This was because Major General Mstislav suspected that Major Ovich was a spy for the Germans, and it was likely that there were his cronies or associates in the unit, who would have fled when they learned of Major Ovich's arrest.

Therefore, the news of Colonel Ovich's arrest did not spread for the time being, and Major General Mstislav ordered the 79th Division to retreat and recuperate, but it was other units that were responsible for guarding the perimeter.

This is rare in wartime, since, of course, it affects the morale of the troops.

But the Soviet army never let go of internal traitors because of this, and this time it was no different.

What's more, if Ovie is a traitor or a spy and has allies, the entire army can be turned back. Major General Mstislav, of course, would not take this risk.

After that, all the staff officers, guards, and logistics personnel of the division headquarters were taken out of the unit and subjected to isolation and training.

The truth soon came out: three staff officers were insiders of varying degrees, and two other communications officers knew that something was wrong, but did not suspect it.

But this was only the result of the interrogation of Major General Mstislav, who was ordered to escort all the suspicious elements to Kiev for further interrogation after receiving a phone call.

Even Major General Mstislav was nervous, because several officers wearing blue military caps went to the military headquarters to talk to Major General Mstislav several times...... If there is treason on the part of his subordinates, then will he be because of the orders of his superiors?!

For the fighters on the front line, they only vaguely felt that something was wrong with the 79th Division, and they didn't know anything else, and they didn't dare to ask more.

But that's what makes people feel a wave of fear and unease.

All they knew was that no one would ever see Colonel Ovitch again.

It didn't take long for Major General Mstislav to be transferred.

Of course, instead of being interrogated, he became the commander of another unit, which was stationed in Kyiv far from the front...... Obviously, this is just in case.

Those who understand know that this means that the career has been affected, that is, the major general has been cast a shadow of distrust, and it is obviously very difficult to get out of this shadow.

Shulka knew what was going on, and he could somewhat guess it in his conversation with Major Gavrilov.

"We almost died at our own hands!" Major Gavrilov said to Shulka.

"What?"

"The reason for the siege this time!" Major Gavrilov said: "It's artificial, I can only tell you so much!" ”

But that's enough, Shulka isn't that stupid, and he can guess a lot when he connects it back and forth.

What Shulka didn't expect was that the impact of this incident would be so big and widespread.

"But we're lucky!" Major Gavrilov said: "Successfully break through at your suggestion, otherwise...... Who knows how things will turn out? ”

"And this!" With that, Major Gavrilov handed Shulka a brand new military uniform: "Congratulations, Comrade Shulka, you are already a sergeant!" ”
