Chapter 538: Pistol
Shulka also received one such pistol, and a red star was engraved on the grip.
It was Major Mikhailvich who gave Shulka this pistol.
When handing the pistol to Shulka, Mikhailvich looked at the red star engraved on the grip and said: "We found this in the pistol we received, something different!" ”
"Different?" Shulka was a little confused: "You mean the red star?" ”
"Yes, of course!" Mikhailvich smiled: "Maybe you don't know, this was a high honor ten years ago!" ”
Hearing this, Shulka stopped asking, and he was afraid that if he continued to ask, Mikhailvich would wonder why Shulka didn't know some common sense.
Later, Shulka knocked on the side, knowing that this M1895 Nagant revolver once had a high status in the Soviet Union, and it was heavily equipped in the troops, and it was not completely replaced by the Tokarev pistol until the end of World War II.
As for the revolver with a red star on the grip, it was given by the Soviet Union to meritorious party members in the 30s, and it is a quite high honor, almost a "Shang Fang sword" that symbolizes power and holds a certain degree of power in life and death.
It was thought that this pistol should have been left on the battlefield, so it was used as a "second-hand" pistol for reuse, but unexpectedly, it was distributed to the 82nd Infantry Regiment.
Shulka just treats it more like a toy.
IT WAS OF LITTLE VALUE ON THE BATTLEFIELD AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE ITS BULLET WAS 7.62*38MM, WHILE THE TOKAREV PISTOL AND THE "BOBOSHA" SUBMACHINE GUN USED BY THE SOVIET ARMY NOW USED WERE 7.62*25MM.
This reduced it to a police pistol...... No one or any unit would like to have one more ammo in their supply for a pistol, which can cause supply confusion on the battlefield and lead to serious consequences.
However, due to its police use and large production volumes, there are almost no bullets in stock.
On the other hand, the situation in Stalingrad at this time required saving every bullet and every supply.
As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs used it for the execution of deserters in the port.
Shulka kept it in a drawer...... The 82nd Infantry Regiment was given a basement in the harbor to serve as its headquarters, and Shulka, as deputy commander, was fortunate enough to have a desk of his own.
Shulka thought he would never use the pistol, but it wasn't.
Shulka picked up a newspaper in a boredom, and he wanted to find Valratha's name in the paper, as well as the news she wrote or something.
But it turned out to be a disappointment for Shulka, and there was nothing on it.
This made Shulka a little worried, Valrasha wouldn't be affected by the last incident!
But he didn't promise anything, and Vallasha didn't do anything, so there shouldn't be anything......
Just as he was thinking about it, Mikhailvich shouted outside the headquarters: "Shulka, come up!" ”
"Yes, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied.
As soon as he was about to get up, he heard Major Mikhailvich add: "Bring that pistol, and bullets!" ”
Shulka was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Major Mikhailvich was going to ask him to do.
Sure enough, when Shulka walked out of the headquarters, he saw Valery and several soldiers escorting a group of deserters, and the captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also there, shouting a reprimand in front of Valery and others.
Major Mikhailvich whispered to Shulka: "A few of them are resistant, you deal with it!" ”
So Shulka understood why such things needed to be done by him, the deputy commander, and it turned out that he hoped to use Shulka's prestige and eloquence to persuade the soldiers to let go of their psychological burden.
Frowning helplessly, Shulka walked up and asked, "What's going on, Comrade Captain?" ”
The captain turned his head to look at Shulka, and replied angrily: "You should ask your men, Comrade Captain!" ”
In fact, there was no need to ask, Shulka knew what was going on, but he walked in front of Valery anyway.
"Comrade Shulka!" Valery leaned down towards Shulka and reported with a pleading look: "We are not used to pointing guns at our own people!" ”
The captain couldn't help but interject: "I told you, they are not their own people, they are deserters, cowards, traitors to the motherland!" ”
Then the lieutenant turned his gaze to Shulka and said in a commanding tone: "Captain, you know what to do!" ”
Shulka gritted his teeth and ordered, "Lizheng! Dequeue...... Get out your guns! ”
Valery and several soldiers drew their pistols and loaded them at Shulka's orders, then aimed them at the back of the head of the deserter, who had fallen to his knees.
As soon as Shulka gave the order, the deserters would immediately be splattered with blood.
This may have been what Shulka had to do, but Shulka was slow to give the order.
The lieutenant looked at Shulka with some dissatisfaction, as if urging him to give his final command.
However, Shulka did not give the order.
"I want to know something, Comrade Captain!" "Why don't we send these people to 'correctional camps'? ”
"They just escaped from the 'punishment camp'!" The lieutenant replied.
Escaping from the "punishment camp" can be said to be unforgivable.
Because the "punishment camp" also has a "punishment camp" system, it cannot endlessly give deserters the opportunity to enter the "punishment camp...... Escape once and enter the "punishment camp" twice.
This means that there is no punishment or cost for escaping, so all the soldiers of the "Punishment Battalion" will try to escape, and the "Punishment Battalion" will not be able to sustain itself.
At this time, a deserter shouted in a hoarse voice: "You bastards, can you just do it?" How long are you going to keep me waiting?! ”
The captain was so angry that he shouted a command: "Shoot!" ”
But Valery and the others did not move, they only listened to Shulka's orders.
"I say, shoot!" The lieutenant's tone was aggravated, but still no one took him seriously.
This situation was so angry that the captain pulled out his pistol and stepped forward, scolding unceremoniously: "They say that you are a heroic army that has killed many enemies, and I think you are no different from these deserters......
As he spoke, he pointed his pistol at the deserter's head from behind.
But it was stopped by Shulka.
"What if I'm willing to take them?" "I mean, we need manpower, we need people to build fortifications, to carry ......supplies," Shulka said.
"If you need it, we'll arrange for someone else to give it to you!" The lieutenant replied: "But they can't!" ”
"They're going to die anyway!" Shulka asked rhetorically, "Why not?" I will let them die on the battlefield! ”
