At 9 o'clock in the evening of May 14, 1941, on the bank of a small section of the Vistula River, which is more than 1,000 kilometers long on the temporary border between the Soviet Union and Germany, in Poland, a dark shadow was cautiously groping its way forward, preparing to cross the river!

With the sound of a slight stroke, the shadow slowly crossed the Vistula River and moved from the German positions to the west to a Soviet outpost a river away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stop, what are you going to do!"

As soon as the shadow came ashore, it was discovered by a Soviet sentry, who immediately removed the rifle on his shoulder, although the relationship between the two parties was okay, but it would certainly not be good to cross the river quietly in the middle of the night, this sentry was still very cautious.

"Shh

The shadow was silent at the Soviet sentry.

The Soviet sentry, who seemed to be in a situation that was not quite right, and who did not know much German, hurried to guide the soaking German junior officer, who had just crawled out of the Vistula, to his post and immediately called to report the situation.

At 9:15 a.m., the German officer received an order from the Soviets to stay in a battalion further back.

Immediately after arriving at the battalion headquarters, a soldier led the German officer to a room where a stove was burning, and although the weather was no longer cold, when the Soviets learned that a German officer had quietly crossed the river, they immediately lit a stove in the room, and then specially prepared a blanket.

When the German officer, who was shivering from the cold, saw the stove, he didn't care about anything else, took off his soaked coat, and immediately ran to the stove to stay and make a fire.

"What is your job title? My friend! ”

It turned out that there was also a Soviet officer sitting next to the stove, and this Soviet officer had the rank of captain, and this was the battalion command post, that is, this person was most likely the battalion commander of this Soviet battalion-level unit.

"I'm just a secretary."

With the heat of the stove, the German chief of the army no longer shivered, and his body had stabilized.

"Ah, hello! But, my friend, why did you cross the river in the middle of the night? I don't understand what you're doing! ”

"I have intelligence, I have very important information!"

"Oh!"

The Soviet captain had guessed that there must be something wrong with this person coming over at this time, but when he really heard the truth from the mouth of the German commander, he was still a little surprised. Then he motioned for the other person in the room to go out, and immediately ordered, "Go and get the commissar." ”

"There's going to be a war, it's really going to be a war!"

"You stabilize first, don't worry, and wait for our political commissar to come over, and then we'll talk slowly."

The lieutenant was an officer who had just been promoted, and he hadn't even had time to change his rank, and in this kind of matter, although he wanted to hear what was going on first, he still didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he would wait for the political commissar to come over.

Soon, a fair-skinned, but unkind-looking major walked into the room, and this person was none other than the commissar of the battalion. In 1935, the Soviet Union set up a battalion-level political commissar, and after June 22, 1941, a battalion commissar was added to the battalion level, which was an eight-level political worker.

"Hello, friend."

As soon as the commissar entered the room, he immediately walked over to the German chief of the army, who was still squatting by the fire, and saluted, and then stretched out his hand to shake hands.

"There is going to be a war, the war is about to begin, I hope you can send me to your rear, I don't want to be on the battlefield."

The secretary didn't say anything, and when he came up, he directly said his information and what he wanted.

"Don't worry, please make it clear, where is the war? Why did you come and tell us why you chose to go to our rear instead of going back to your own? ”

Since both the Soviet Union and Germany wanted to launch a surprise attack on each other, the border guards near the border on both sides did not know in advance that the two countries were going to break out into war, and they all thought that the two countries were still the best allies.

If it weren't for the fact that a large number of German troops had already driven to the border, the soldiers of those border guards would probably not have known that these soldiers behind them had actually been training intensively for the war for more than half a year!

Obviously, the political commissar did not believe the words of the secretary, which sounded too fantastical, the Soviet Union and Germany had a peace agreement, and now there are many trains from Moscow to Berlin every day, and countless oil, grain, and special metals for the manufacture of tanks and planes are constantly being transported to Germany, and the words of the secretary are too fake.

"I don't have a home, I want to live, I fought from France to England and come here again, I don't want to fight anymore, I want to live!" The secretary made his demands, but did not say exactly where the war broke out.

"I can guarantee that if your intelligence is true, I will definitely send you to a place of absolute safety and keep you away from the war! But first, please tell me your information! ”

"Barbarossa, it's Barbarossa! The war is about to begin in the early hours of this morning, the entire Soviet side of the Soviet-German border will be covered with artillery fire, the bombers are already on standby, and my unit has just received the news that it will attack in the early morning! The combat operation is codenamed Barbarossa, I don't know the specific content, I'm just a secretary, but I know one thing, the war will definitely start in the early morning, and then this place will be in ruins! Get me out of here! ”

The Secretary was clearly in a hurry, and the fear of war had led him to make such a risky move at this moment, a betrayal, a betrayal of the country, and his move would lead him to never return to Germany. But again, if he doesn't defect, then he has only one way to go to war, and out of fear of war, he will never want to set foot on the battlefield again.

The commissar realized that the problem seemed serious, but he was not convinced that the Germans on the other side of the river could turn it into ruins. He had enough confidence in his troops, he believed that the great Soviets could overcome everything, and there never seemed to be any signs of artillery and tank activity on the other side of the river.

Although he is not worried, he still has to report this matter to his superiors immediately, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, it is a big matter!

The situation is reported from one level to the other, from battalion to regiment and from regiment to brigade.

When the information arrived at the brigade headquarters, there was a delay in this information, because it was the division level further up, so they had to reconfirm the authenticity of the information.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the chief finally received an order from a Soviet, and he was to go to the brigade headquarters in the rear.

Just as the chief of affairs got into the car and rushed to the brigade headquarters, the information in this brigade was immediately reported after only a few minutes of delay, and they no longer planned to wait for confirmation of this news, this kind of news had to be reported before it anyway.

The German traitor was on his way, and it would take time, but according to what he said about attacking in the early morning, they had no time to delay, so they would report the information first!

Soon, the intelligence was sent to Moscow, and the time was already 10:20 p.m.! To be continued.
