Chapter 255: Captive

So the armored train was "captured" by the Soviets again.

The process of "seizure" is somewhat awkward...... The Soviets thought that Shulka and the others were Germans in Soviet uniforms.

Led by a cavalry lieutenant with a company surrounded the armored trains, and several of them rode horses, which were covered in mud and blood, and looked like they had burst out of the swamp.

Cavalry can still play a role in rapid maneuvering in certain environments, such as swamps that are difficult for tanks to pass through, and snow fields, and horses can also be a good means of transportation during the ice period, which is one of the reasons why the Soviet Union maintained cavalry for a long time.

"Open the door!" The cavalry lieutenant shouted majestically at the armored train, and at the same time pulled the horse's head to make the horse stand up and neigh, as if he was going to kick the armored train away with his horse's hooves.

"Comrade, don't shoot!" Shulka shouted aggrievedly: "We are our own people......"

Veterans and actors push open car doors.

The cavalry outside couldn't help but be stunned when they saw them in Soviet-style military uniforms, and they all turned their eyes to their lieutenants.

"Don't let them fool you!" The cavalry lieutenant shouted: "They are Germans, but in our uniforms!" Put down your guns, you bastards, don't try to take me for a fool! ”

"Put down the gun!" The cavalry shouted: "Raise your hands and come out one by one!" ”

In desperation, Shulka could only order his subordinates to lower their guns.

Shulka walked out with his hands raised and explained: "We are the ...... of the 4th Tank Brigade"

"Shut up, you ***** lackey!" The cavalry lieutenant did not listen to Shulka at all.

"I have papers!" Shulka said: "In my jacket pocket! ”

A cavalryman stepped forward and took out his military ID card from Shulka jacket pocket, opened it and shone it with a flashlight, and said: "He does have a document, it says that he is the 333rd Regiment, the 4th Tank Brigade......"

"The 4th Tank Brigade is on the other side of Tver at this time!" The cavalry lieutenant said: "Documents do not represent anything, haven't you heard of the Brownenburg troops of the Germans?" They even have family members and have a detailed resume......"

When the cavalry lieutenant said this, Shulka knew that he could not convince the stubborn and stupid cavalry lieutenant, because anything that could prove his identity could be considered a forgery from the Brownenburg troops.

Then, something even more terrifying was yet to come.

One of the horsemen asked, "What should we do with them!" ”

The cavalry lieutenant thought for a moment and replied: "We are breaking through the siege, there are no conditions for leaving prisoners, they have killed so many of our comrades...... You know what to do! ”

Shulka stared at the "high" cavalry lieutenant with wide eyes in disbelief.

He knew that this guy might have lost his mind because his troops had suffered heavy casualties in the breakout, but he couldn't just execute the "captives" who might have been his own people!

At this moment, the cavalryman with the certificate looked at the certificate, then took a picture of Shulka's face, and then said in surprise: "Comrade lieutenant, they are their own people......"

"I said, they're enemies!" The cavalry lieutenant was already somewhat hysterical.

"No, I know him!" The cavalry said: "He is Shulka, a 'breakout hero', I have seen his picture in the newspaper!" ”

Then everyone was silent.

"Yes, he's the Breakout Hero!" The instructor stepped forward: "As you heard, we are from the 333rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the 4th Tank Brigade, and we have come from Kling to help reinforce you; We risked our lives to cross the bridge over the Volga; We captured this armored train from the enemy and fought all the way here...... But you're going to be shot?! ”

The cavalry lieutenant did not seem to have come to his senses until this point, he jumped off his horse, took the officer's card from the cavalryman's hand and looked at it, and then asked the cavalry: "Are you sure he is the 'breakout hero'?" ”

"Yes!" The cavalry nodded, then looked at Shulka and the instructor, and he realized that he might have stabbed the big man.

The cavalry lieutenant embarrassedly handed Shulka back his papers and said, "I'm sorry, comrade, you know ......"

"No, I don't know!" Shulka snatched the documents from the cavalry lieutenant and asked through gritted teeth: "Now, can we get our weapons back, Comrade Lieutenant?" ”

"Of course!" The cavalry lieutenant nodded.

The instructor walked up with Shi Shiran, took out a notebook and pen from his jacket pocket, and asked in a cold tone: "Your name, Comrade Lieutenant!" ”

The cavalry lieutenant's face turned pale, like snow on a tree branch.

"This is a misunderstanding, Comrade Instructor!" The cavalry lieutenants were all half shorter: "The Germans are cunning......"

"Name?" The instructor unceremoniously interrupted the cavalry lieutenant.

"Ilyich, comrade instructor!" The cavalry lieutenant replied helplessly.

"Troop number?" The instructor continued to ask coldly.

……

Shulka knew that the instructor was really angry.

Therefore, from this moment on, the future of this cavalry lieutenant is in doubt.

"I think I need to thank you!" Shulka walked up to the cavalryman who had recognized him: "Otherwise, we will probably be cold corpses by this time!" ”

"This is as it should be, Comrade Second Lieutenant!" The cavalry replied: "Comrade Ensign, I wonder if I can intercede for Lieutenant Ilyich?" ”

"Yes!" Shulka replied: "But it won't work!" ”

Looking at the cavalryman's puzzled eyes, Shulka explained: "Even if Comrade Instructor is willing to let him go, others are not willing to let him go, understand?" ”

The cavalryman did not speak, he knew that Shulka was right, and that Lieutenant Ilyich had made a mistake enough for him to go to court-martial.

The troops poured into Tver like a tidal wave, and the Germans collapsed on all fronts under the attack of the Soviets on both sides, and the news of the meeting of the two armies soon came from the front.

Cheers soon resounded throughout Tver.

Shulka returned to the armored train, lit a cigarette with the instructor, and then looked out the window at the still silent artillery fire, and a feeling of exhaustion came over his heart.

If he had been in fear and struggle in the midst of war, he was tired of it now.

He was tired of this killing, of this danger, and even more of this beast-like cruelty.

However, he is powerless to fight against this world, and can only go with the flow again and again to move forward.

Shulka didn't know what the outcome was, he only knew that survival didn't seem to be that important to him anymore.
