The silent sky, the low-hanging clouds, and the woods, seem to be thousands of mountains and birds flying away, and thousands of people disappearing.

There was no sound in the dense woods, and the woods on the edge of the Komsomolsk and Boli railway were as quiet as death.

Not far away, a lonely railway station stands on this plain.

On the edge of the woods, the railroad lies here, and many trains pass through it every day.

The speed of the war was far greater than the Soviets imagined, and Boli only held out for half a month before falling.

The railways near Boli were also controlled by the Red Police, and a large number of Soviet soldiers around them were scattered, making it difficult to organize an effective strike.

Many snipers scattered by the Soviet army did not send any news back, and the snipers sent out seemed to have evaporated from the world all of a sudden.

In the vicinity of Boli, especially between Boli and Komsomolsk, the Red Guard Corps set up more than a dozen interception nets to cut off the retreat route of the Soviet troops in Boli.

Many Soviet troops were helplessly hidden.

In this wood, which covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, there is a group of Soviet routs.

In addition to some soldiers, there are also a large number of civilians, political cadres, automobile soldiers, artillery and other arms, and many of them are unarmed, and there is no shortage of infantry without weapons.

A few days earlier, the food they had carried had already run out, and these Soviet soldiers gathered in the deep forest could only look for something to eat by themselves.

Despite the fact that this deep forest is hundreds of square kilometers, in fact, it is an artificially planted forest, mainly eucalyptus and birch trees.

In the woods, there is not much to eat.

The main thing is that the Soviets in the forest, in the tens of thousands, came from various formations of troops, were numerous, and the limited food was simply not enough.

And they didn't dare to make much noise, they didn't dare to live, they didn't dare to expose themselves to the cracks of the branches.

The Red Guard Corps will always have reconnaissance planes patrolling, and the results of being discovered can be imagined.

On the outskirts of the woods near the train station, many Soviet soldiers, armed with weapons, were looking for an opportunity to escape.

The woods are mad all around. Wild, unless it is a small number of people, who are wild people in the woods, once they leave the woods, they will not be able to escape at all by means of the enemy's aerial reconnaissance.

When everyone gathered, a lot of news spread, especially the enemy's aerial search ability, and I heard that even if it was buried in the ground, it would be found.

Many of the soldiers who were scattered in Burley had no choice but to become prisoners.

However, surrender was the most difficult option for all the soldiers in the number.

Because Khrushchev had already given the order, all the soldiers who surrendered to the enemy would have their families equal to treason, and they would also be afraid of fighting, and if they took a step back, they would not only be killed on the spot by the Warlords, but their families would also be equal to treason.

The Soviet soldiers who were still trying to flee for their lives did not dare to surrender because of their families.

Otherwise, the war has reached such a point, and there is nothing to dare to, after all, one is a unit that threatens his family every day, where does he belong.

And this trap is more than ten days, and the Soviet soldiers in the woods have no idea what the war outside has reached.

The only direction they could move in was Komsomolsk, but the distance of more than two hundred kilometers from Komsomolsk, the endless plain, could not be walked at all.

The only way is to take the train, but the railway is also controlled, and even the tracks are difficult to approach, how can it be possible.

Food shortages are getting worse and worse, and many internal problems have erupted as a result.

Many Soviets became more and more reluctant to stay in the woods, and some soldiers began to choose to leave quietly and disappear when the political cadres were not paying attention.

Some chose to go straight out of the woods and surrender, while others simply chose to take off their uniforms and disappear from the sight of others.

There are also some Soviet soldiers who still haven't given up, and this kind of soldiers belong to those soldiers who are very worried about their families, and they hope that after they go back, those political cadres in the team can see their efforts and avoid their families being implicated.

Especially when they had lost contact for more than ten days, many Soviet soldiers began to worry whether the command had already treated them as deserters.

Therefore, the heart that is anxious to go back has not been calmed.

But there are also some more rational people who choose to take one step first and then count one step, because now, no one knows what the result will be if they surrender.

In the woods, more than a dozen Soviet soldiers hiding at the edge of the trees, all with their guns aimed at the train station, were busy.

At a distance of more than six hundred meters, no one except for the sniper with a sniper rifle among them could see the situation at the train station.

And this Soviet sniper can barely see the clothes of the figures on the station in the distance, and it is difficult to see their appearance clearly, and it is difficult to determine how many people are in the station.

Two days ago, those political cadres in the woods discussed a plan, that is, to gather all the weapons, when the train stopped, take the train station with arms, and then use the train to take everyone out of here.

Everyone was against this stupid approach, but no one could say no.

Today I just came here to reconnoiter the situation, to find out how many people are in the railway station, whether there are tanks and armored vehicles and other equipment.

However, everyone who came to investigate was very reluctant in their hearts.

First of all, the first reason is that with their current weapons and equipment, they simply cannot take this railway station silently.

Moreover, they have already seen the enemy's advanced communication capabilities, and a soldier who is alone and deep can call for artillery and aviation support at any time, and in the face of such an opponent, it is impossible to silently take this railway station, even if this railway station does not see any heavy equipment.

Not to mention that after the seizure, he drove the train, and naively disguised himself as the enemy's train, deceived the enemy along the way, and rushed into Komsomolsk.

There is only one such action, and that is to be destroyed by the enemy's aviation, and there is almost no chance of a fluke.

Of these people, only the sniper was very attentive to what he saw, and he carefully wrote down what he saw on paper.

A middle-aged Soviet man on the side, a veteran with three criss-crossing scars on his face, saw the young sniper writing a reconnaissance report, and said, "Are you serious? ”

Under the new standard helmet of the Soviet Union is a young face, with a face that imitates the enemy, and is coated with a green liquid that I don't know what to use.

Hearing the words of the veteran soldier beside him, the young sniper said: "I have three younger sisters and two younger brothers in Yekaterinburg, my father has died in battle, and I can't let my younger brothers and sisters be sent to the land of Siberia. ”

Hearing the young man's words, the veteran sighed helplessly, took out a high-powered telescope from his arms, and the veteran, who originally wanted to persuade him, said from afar: "See more clearly with this thing." ”

"How do you have this?" The young soldier took the binoculars and looked at them, which was still engraved in German, and he was surprised.

"I picked up from a dead division commander, German goods, very precise, and very useful." The veteran explained.

After a while, the young soldier returned the telescope to the veteran, which made the veteran a little puzzled and asked, "Why don't you use it?" ”

The young soldier shook his head and said, "There are tens of thousands of people in the woods, and if we really attack the train station, I'm afraid all of us will not survive." ”

When the veteran heard this, the hand holding the gun trembled slightly. Shaking for a moment, he silently threw the telescope directly out of the woods.

The other dozen or so soldiers around all watched quietly, no one stopped them, and no one said anything.

"Our enemies are not Germans, they can snipe accurately even when we are hiding in the house, their sniper rifles can easily penetrate the concrete wall and kill the people inside accurately, we are hiding in this not very dense woods, only a few hundred meters away from them, will they not know?" The young soldier said helplessly.

Someone on the side asked, "Then why don't they take action against us?" ”

"The reason is very simple, we have no value at all, the enemy's target is Boli and Komsomolsk, Boli held out for less than half a month, how long can Komsomolsk last. And we, for them, have no threat at all, and we are expected to wait for the battle in Komsomolsk to end before we will deal with our people. The young soldier said.

On the side, the veteran, who was listening quietly, said: "For the past twelve days, at least three trains carrying prisoners of war have passed through here every day. ”

"How do you know?" Asked again to the veteran.

"On the surface of the carriage transporting prisoners of war, there are two big words written on them, they have no intention of hiding at all, I have been observing, there will be no fake." The veteran pointed to the discarded telescope and said.

When everyone heard this, the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden.

After a long time, the young soldier said: "We have done our best, they have made us hold our positions, and we have held out until the last moment, and we have not left, but they have abandoned us, and we have not even said hello." ”

This sentence seemed to resonate, and someone said: "I heard a friend of mine in the division headquarters say that when the enemy counterattacked, our division headquarters left Boli directly with the train, leaving us on the front line. ”

At this point, the veteran sighed and said, "The leader told them to hold on here and continue to fight the enemy, but we don't have anything to eat, and we don't even have many bullets, how can we fight?" ”

"The battle was chaotic from the beginning, and the enemy's division and encirclement and mobile operations were too scary, their shells had long eyes, and it was not safe to go anywhere......"

The more he talked, the young soldier put away his sniper rifle, exchanged glances with the others, and then all chose to leave, and the paper that recorded the reconnaissance was also left in place.

As they were about to return to their camp deep in the woods, a huge bomber in the sky flew over the woods, dropping black objects one after another.

More than a dozen soldiers immediately picked up speed.

But when they returned to the camp, they were surprised to find that many of their comrades in the camp were all holding colorful sheets. Pictures of posters.

Some people cheered, and some chose to sink, only those political cadres, one by one, as if their parents had died, with a gloomy face.

When they got closer, the contents of these posters were clearly visible.

Letters of persuasion, as well as photographs.

It's just that this photo is a little scary.

Everyone present was very familiar with the fat man in the photo - Khrushchev.

Khrushchev lying on the ground with a bullet hole in his head, under this color photograph of Khrushchev killed, there is also a description written in Russian: Khrushchev, who was killed by a special commando of our army, pressed. The fear in your hearts has dissipated, and we treat our captives well.

A Soviet soldier who had just finished reading the letter of persuasion suddenly shouted loudly: "Komsomolsk has been occupied, how is this possible, Komsomolsk has more than one million troops, and it is over like this?" ”

This sentence frightened many illiterate Soviet soldiers.

Only a small number of soldiers were able to understand the text, and it was obvious that those political cadres also had letters of persuasion in their hands, but no one made a sound, and cast a murderous look at the soldier who had just exclaimed.

A political work officer seemed to be unable to resist it, stepped forward and directly snatched the letter of surrender from this guy's hand, drew his pistol, and shouted: "These are all deceptions, we should launch a guerrilla war behind enemy lines and fight the enemy to the end." ”

"Komsomolsk is occupied by the enemy, what else is there to maneuver around, I am a Ukrainian, I was forced here in the first place." A Ukrainian soldier, shaking his head, said with some indignation.

Immediately on the side, there was a echo: "Go out and surrender, we won't fight." ”

"Let's go out and surrender......" more and more people chimed in.

However, before they could make a move, more than a dozen political cadres in the crowd all took out their pistols, stared at those who said they wanted to surrender, and one of them said: "Whoever dares to surrender, his family will die a miserable death......

Before the political work cadre's words were finished, the young soldier outside the crowd had already raised his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger on the political work officer.

"Don't threaten us with your family." Said the young soldier who fired the shot.

An hour later, at the edge of the woods, the Soviet soldiers who came out in line surrendered to the nearest Red Alert soldier, throwing down their weapons one by one, looking completely relieved, as if they had been reborn at this moment.
