Chapter 53: The Master

Shulka did tell the second lieutenant what he said, but Shulka knew it was just a formality...... After the second lieutenant and the others returned, it was impossible to warn the other Germans as Commissar Fomin said.

As for not showing up on the battlefield......

"It's not for us to decide!" The second lieutenant replied.

"Yes, I know!"

"But I still want to thank you!" The second lieutenant shook Shulka's hand: "You kept your promise and lived up to the trust I placed in you. But ......"

After a pause, the second lieutenant continued: "You are also a terrible person, I hope you understand one thing: one day when we meet on the battlefield, I will not hesitate to kill you!" ”

"Me too!" Shulka said.

"Then I'll earn it!" The lieutenant laughed.

"What?" Shulka didn't understand what the second lieutenant meant.

"I'm not an important person!" The second lieutenant explained: "Now you can even say that you are a traitor to the country, if you can exchange your life, of course it is worth it!" ”

Shulka smiled, and secretly said that this second lieutenant is also a character, and he is still so calm and humorous at this time.

"You can go!" Commissar Fuming ordered.

"Thank you!" The second lieutenant nodded to Commissar Fuming in thanks, and then returned with a group of men in a panic.

Major Gavrilov waved his hand and said: "Should we also go, boys, stay here and wait for the enemy's shells?" ”

The soldiers answered yes, and the cat lowered and ran into the grass.

Although it was dark and could not be seen clearly, Shulka could still feel their excitement and excitement, and some even danced with excitement, if it were not for fear of being discovered by the Germans, they would have cheered a long time ago.

Shulka can understand this mood, and now that he has finally broken through and succeeded in breaking through to join the main force, even Shulka has an unprovoked impulse in his heart.

"You're right, Shulka!" I don't know when Major Gavrilov has walked by Shulka's side.

"There's an element of luck in this, Major!" Shulka replied.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about!"

"What's that?"

"Of course, you're smart!" Major Gavrilov said: "You are once again out of danger with us breaking out of the encirclement, and this is commendable. But I think what's more important is how you just performed......"

"What you just did?"

"Yes!" Major Gavrilov stopped for a moment to rest in front of a field stalk, and Shulka also stopped.

"I'm talking about what you just did to protect the Germans!" Major Gavrilov patted Shulka on the shoulder and said, "It's great! It's what a man should do, it's your character, and it's even more important than your intelligence! ”

"I just...... Felt like I should do that! ”

"Yes!" Major Gavrilov said: "I also think that I should do that, but I hesitate because I have many scruples, understand?" ”

Shulka nodded in understanding, the officers in the Soviet army are not so easy to be, if it weren't for the political commissar Fuming to speak, I'm afraid that no one would dare to let go of those German prisoners.

The reason is simple, if this is said at worst, it is undoubtedly a very serious crime: collaborating with the enemy and treachery!

"So!" Major Gavrilov said: "You have ashamed me, Shulka! ”

As he spoke, Major Gavrilov continued to run forward, but Shulka was stunned for a moment...... He wasn't really as great as Major Gavrilov had claimed, he just hadn't thought of it.

What if, then, Shulka takes this aspect into account?

Will he still protect the German ensign as he did just now?

Shulka didn't know the answer, after all, he had recognized the cruelty of this struggle before that...... The sound of the instructor pulling the bolt behind him seemed to linger in his ears.

"What's wrong?" Agata came up from behind, and when he saw Shulka crouching there, he asked.

"Oh no, nothing!" Shulka replied absentmindedly, and then followed the troops with Agata .

The German soldiers were right, this grass was indeed a relatively safe place to "infiltrate".

Originally, Shulka was worried that the Soviet soldiers on the defensive line would accidentally injure his own people because it was dark, but he soon learned that this worry was unnecessary...... Many Soviet soldiers and civilians fled into the Soviet line from this direction, so the Soviet soldiers guarding this area were especially careful.

As they approached the line, a platoon of machine-gun bullets "rattled", but it was clear that they were fired into the sky as a warning.

"Stop!" A voice came out of the darkness: "What part are you from?" ”

"Comrade!" Major Gavrilov said excitedly: "I am Major Gavrilov, the commander of the 44th Infantry Regiment of the 42nd Division, and we are from Brest!" ”

"Brest? That's impossible! The voice in the darkness shouted angrily: "Don't try to lie to me, you German spies! ”

Obviously, he thought that the German spies had confused the location or the number of the troops, so he used Brest to deceive people, after all, Brest was on the other side of the swamp.

"We're not spies!" Political Commissar Fuming hurriedly identified himself: "I am Fuming, political commissar of the 333rd Regiment, and it took us a few days to walk through the swamp to get here!" ”

There was silence in the darkness for a while, and then a flare was fired with a "Teng".

"Stand up!" From the other side came the command: "Let me see you!" ”

Major Gavrilov and the others slowly stood up.

After observing for a while, the Soviet soldiers on the opposite side gradually became convinced, but for the sake of safety, they still let the Soviet soldiers lay down their arms before they could pass...... Such caution is necessary, after all, they have suffered such losses.

However, this was certainly not a problem for Major Gavrilov and his party, and in the end they did not dare to believe it until they checked the military ID cards of the major and the commissar and several others.

"Unbelievable!" They were greeted by a lieutenant, who looked at the map and Major Gavrilov and others, and said, "Sorry, Comrade Major. That's why we're doing this......"

"It's okay!" Major Gavrilov replied: "It's okay, we know. In fact, even we ourselves can't believe that we are finally back, we have succeeded! ”

As he spoke, Major Gavrilov threw his fist back and shouted: "We succeeded!" ”

There was a burst of cheers from the trenches, and the soldiers shouted one after another:

"We made it!"

"We're safe!"

……

Only Shulka did not speak.

Because he knows that it is one thing to be a teacher, and it is another thing to be safe...... At this time, there was no place on the Soviet front that was safe.
