Chapter 192: Personally out of the horse
The arrival of the amnesty decree shocked the division headquarters of the entire Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division, as well as the two commanders of the Front Army and Chuikov, but I didn't expect Stalin to really issue an amnesty, as long as the Soviets who defected to the German army can fight back, they and their families can be pardoned, which has played a great role in the next fight for the Eastern Battalion and those who serve the German army, after all, the Soviet Union is not as manpower as imagined, and the Soviet army counterattacked to Ukraine and Belarus after the day, A large number of people can be said to have solved a lot of trouble anyway, the Soviet army has gone more smoothly than in history, of course, this is a later story, after the amnesty order of the Moscow Central arrived, Andrei made a bold decision, he said to Brezhnev: "Ilyich, I will hand over the division headquarters to you for the time being, and I will personally go to the camp of the Eastern Battalion to convey the amnesty order, and at the same time discuss the details of the Eastern Battalion anyway."

And Brezhnev was just about to dissuade the call when he came, and as soon as the staff officer on duty answered it, he hurriedly shouted to Andrei: "Division commander, it's the call of the deputy commander-in-chief." So Andrei hurriedly ran over and picked up the microphone and said: "Hello, Comrade General, I'm Yakov." In the face of Zhukov, Andrei did not dare to slack off, although Zhukov was miserable enough after the war, but he is now the deputy commander of the internal affairs army is also under his jurisdiction, and for this god of war, future generations also have to look up, Zhukov said in a very cautious tone in the microphone: "Andrey, I already know about your rebellion against the rebels, and Beria also contacted Gusev's former superiors through me, but I still have to ask you, what will you do next, to know that Comrade Stalin has already issued an amnesty, If the rebellion doesn't succeed, you know the consequences. ”
And Andrei was well aware of this, and he replied: "Comrade General, I intend to personally go to the Vostok Battalion to make direct contact with Captain Gusev, to dispel their concerns, and to make a plan for the next step. ”
And Zhukov said: "This is the best, I authorize you as the deputy commander, in the next negotiation you can meet a series of requirements of the other party, as long as it is within the limit, you can agree first, and then you have to bring back this Gusev safely, as for how many of his subordinates can bring back." After listening to Zhukov's words, Andrei understood what this meant, once Gusev succeeded, anyway, then the Soviet side must guarantee his safety, so that the Soviet leniency can be expressed and there is a benchmark, then the Soviets can express their tolerance and sincerity in political propaganda and against the Eastern Battalion and other people who serve the German army, so as to divide and break the German control over the occupied areas, and as for the demand, because this is the first time, of course, you have to be generous, otherwise who wants to return at great risk.
So Andrei said: "Comrade General, don't worry, I will set off today, and I will complete the negotiations as soon as possible, please rest assured." ”
Zhukov said: "Okay, Andrey, I am waiting for your good news. Putting down the phone, Andrei said to Brezhnev: "Ilyich you can't stop me now, and Comrade Deputy Commander-in-Chief also wants me to go in person." ”
And Brezhnev looked at the situation and said: "Well, Andrei will wish you good luck and come back safely." And the deputy division commander Yanayev shouted here: "Captain Yushchenko." Yushchenko immediately ran in, and Yanayev said: "The division commander needs to personally go behind enemy lines to carry out the mission this time, I hope you will also pick out a few people to go with the people of the task force, I want you to swear to me with your life and honor that you will sacrifice your lives to ensure the safe return of the army commander, can you do it?" ”
And Yushchenko immediately stood up and shouted in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, commanders, when I came to Stalingrad with the special guard company, I received a clear order to protect the safety of the division commander at all costs, and this time we will definitely protect the division commander as long as we still have a breath." ”
After the plan is determined, the next thing is to choose people, this time it is not difficult for Andrei to go deep into the rear of the German army, a group of signal flags and a guard squad led by Yushchenko to accompany him, and at the same time prepare the uniform and military ID of the German army, so in the afternoon, Andrei set off to the station of the Eastern Battalion, the journey was much smoother than expected, and easily avoided the German checkpoints along the way, after all, the signal flag was Sun Dasheng several times, so the Germans' vigilance was still very high, so Andrei They were able to hide in front, Later, there was a truck on the road of the German army, and more than 20 people went to the Vostok battalion in a truck, because of the previous contact, Gusev already knew that next, there would be higher-level commanders to contact, under the leadership of the fighters left by Pavlov, Andrei came to Gusev's command post, and the fighters introduced: "Comrade Gusev, this is our division commander, General Yakov. ”
And Gusev looked at Andrei a little stunned, it was him, he knew Andrei, Andrei was the chief of the special service section of the 16th Army, he had a gloomy face tomorrow, and he was very brave and always had whimsical ideas on the battlefield, since Smolensk, there has been no news of you and him, I didn't expect that now Second Lieutenant Andrei has become a general, and looking at Gusev's eyes, Andrei said to Yushchenko behind him: "Captain Yushchenko, you take our people to monitor the soldier monitoring group of the Germans." Yushchenko was ordered to leave, and the two old men sat down to chat, and Gusev said directly to the point: "General Yakov, how are you going to reply to the conditions I put forward last time, you must know that we are traitors to the motherland, according to Stalin's order, your Ministry of Internal Affairs will not tie us up and shoot one person in the head!" ”
And Andrei took out the amnesty order of the Central Presidium from his pocket and said: "At this point, you can rest assured, this is an amnesty order issued by the Central Presidium, as long as you return to the embrace of the motherland, then you will provide information about your family members, and they will also leave the labor camp." ”
And Gusev took the amnesty order and looked at it carefully, the content on it made him put down the big stone in his heart, to be honest, most people have that sense of shame, this puppet army is a profession that can't raise its head, most of them are for the sake of eating, or forced by the situation, so they can't fight hard for this, it's okay to fight a tailwind battle, and the form of the war will collapse if it's a little wrong. Moreover, the puppet army is all for the invaders, at least in front of their own people, they don't have much confidence. In this way, they can't compare to the mercenaries who work for money, and they can't beat the soldiers who are full of blood.
And Andrei continued: "Now you can rest assured, you must know that since the Soviets have issued an amnesty, we can guarantee your safety!" ”
And relieved, Gusev said: "Okay, comrade division commander, don't worry, I have decided to lead my troops back to the bosom of the Motherland!" ”
