Chapter 90: The Village Community

The foreign Soviet soldiers immediately struggled to untie the ropes on their bodies, and one of them ran fast into the distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info while the local Soviet soldiers held their guns at those Soviet soldiers in a daze, and hesitated one by one.

A Polish officer holding a pistol to the back of the head of a local Soviet soldier said coldly: "If you don't do it, I'll shoot, ten, nine, eight・・・・・・"

The Soviet soldier was holding a rifle, his face was constantly changing, and suddenly his face was fiercely aimed at a Soviet soldier in front of him, and he quickly pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger. The fastest Soviet soldier splattered a bloody flower on his thigh and fell to the ground at once. He cursed the traitors as hard as he could, dragging a broken leg toward the woods in the distance.

Along with this gunshot, the guns in the hands of other locals also rang out, and finally the gunfire became more and more intense. The sound of "pop bang bang ・・・・・・" was heard incessantly, and all the fleeing Soviet soldiers fell to the ground.

The Polish soldiers checked the death of all nine Soviet soldiers in the field and recovered the weapons of the natives.

Koval stood in front of them and said calmly: "We have come to Nemenchina with peace and goodwill, and this time I can forgive you, but if I find that there are still people in this town who are still in the Soviet army, the people of the earth will be their fate."

Alright, now you can go back and bring my words to all of you in town. Our army won't be in town for long, but hopefully you'll be able to provide some water and food, and we'll pay for it in coins. ”

When the locals saw that the Polish soldiers were watching them motionless, they immediately rushed into the city.

"Battalion commander, why are you letting these guys go back?" Locke walked over and asked.

"If we kill them, at least dozens or hundreds of families will resent us, and even the whole town will hate us. Let them go, and let them go, so be our sincerity! Koval said.

"What if they continue to oppose us?" Parker asked anxiously.

"Together, they killed the foreign Soviet soldiers, and can they trust each other and work together to deal with us? It's hard for the organizations above them to trust them anymore! Koval said confidently.

"What a battalion commander's plan! Then why kill the Soviet soldiers from other places? Parker said confusedly.

"If you don't kill people, you can't stand up. Moreover, most of these Soviet soldiers from other places were activists who were willing to give up everything in their homeland for the sake of so-called ideals and ambitions. This kind of hard bones will not be changed because we let them live, and they will continue to join the Soviet army on a long journey. And these local Soviets were honest people, and it was difficult for them to abandon their homeland and join the Soviets. Koval analyzed carefully.

Soon, several elders and middle-aged people, accompanied by several Soviet soldiers, came out of the city.

A bearded and sturdy old man in his sixties walked over quickly and said kindly, "Hello sir! These lads in our town, seduced by the Soviets, joined their troops, and thanked the commanders for sparing their lives. From now on, our town will obey the orders of the governors. We also brought a little gift, not a tribute, please smile! ”

As he spoke, the young man in the back put his burden on the ground, and the old man gently opened a box, which was covered with gold coins, and Koval's eyes swept casually, about a thousand gold rubles.

Koval said quietly: "You can take this money back!" We are the Polish Army, not bandits. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a little bit of the heart of our whole town, in recent years, there have been wars, and there is really not much income, please don't dislike it." The old man said humbly.

Koval took the old man's hand and said, "Old man, you have to misunderstand, the army has the discipline of the army. You have people bring some prepared bread and water, and you are supporting our army. ”

After Koval repeatedly refused, the people of the town looked admiring.

Koval asked the men about the local situation.

"How can an old man speak Polish?" Koval asked.

"My grandfather was Polish, so I speak a little Polish."

"What did those Soviets do when they came!" Koval asked curiously.

"Well, they have only been here for more than a month, propagating some Marxist ideas, and then they took away our food and valuable things, saying that they were supporting the revolution. Some of the young men in the town were tricked into joining their army. ”

"Along the way, there is a large area of flat land near the town, what is your land planted here?" Koval asked calmly.

"Plant some wheat and potatoes."

"How is so much land distributed here?" Koval asked, confused.

"The land around the town is owned by our village community and is divided among each family according to the individual's ability to work. The village has been with us for more than 100 years, originally from Russia. The old man said.

"And what about the landlords here?" Koval asked with a smile.

"As early as two years ago, when Tsarist Russia was about to be defeated, the peasants of the whole country discussed dividing up the landlords' land, and later this trend spread, and those landlords sold their land to the village community and hid in the big cities themselves." The old man hurriedly explained.

"Is that so? Didn't you kill the landlord? Koval said casually.

"No, no, no, they ran away on their own."

"Yes, yes, yes." The people around him chimed in.

Didn't even kill the landlord? Although Koval had some doubts in his heart, he did not show it.

"Sir, when the Soviets came, they promised that the land would belong to all of us, and we listened to them. I wonder if the Polish government admits this or not? A young man interjected.

Koval was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "We naturally admit it, we want to ensure that all farmers have land to cultivate, you don't have to worry." ”

After an hour of chatting, Koval finally saw off the representatives of the townspeople.

The army continued its march from the dirt road on the edge of the town with steamed buns and other food bought from the townspeople.

Parker asked, "Sir, Warsaw didn't say anything about supporting them in dividing up the landlord's land!" ”

"If we don't say that, I'm afraid they will sell our news to the Soviet troops at any moment." Koval replied.

Alex ran over and said, "Sir, don't let these old foxes fool you!" ”

"Huh?"

"The village communities have a thousand-year-old history in Russia, they were the basis of tsarist rule. Around 1916, the Russian army was defeated at the front, but relying on the vast territory, it was still possible to continue fighting, but at that time, the prestige of the tsar could not suppress the people everywhere, and the peasants in the village community began to divide the land of the landlords and rich peasants without authorization. Most of the troops on the front line were peasants, and as soon as they heard the news, they also thought about going home and dividing the land, and all of a sudden the army was defeated one after another, and the deserters could not stop it, and the Tsar's troops were completely finished. Alex said with a little hatred: "As for not killing people, those landlords probably heard the wind first, and most of them hid in the big city." Those rich peasants had their entire belongings on the land, and they were reluctant to leave, and as a result, they were the most miserable when the land was divided. At that time, it was so chaotic that adultery and plunder were inevitable! ”
