Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Immortal Army (I)
"I didn't get all the gas masks, go to the box and get them myself! One must be guaranteed per person. ”
As soon as they returned to the camp, Su Qin and the others heard Commissar Danilov standing on the wooden box and shouting loudly.
"What was born?" casually pulled over a fairly familiar team member next to him, Su Qin asked in confusion.
"Don't you know? The intelligence services have now received a new batch of reinforcements from Germany wearing gas masks, and the people above them suspect that they are going to use poison gas to attack. The sniper of the same company said uneasily. Obviously, in the few days that Su Qin and the others left, the battle situation had changed a lot.
"Isn't that a weapon that violates the Geneva Conventions?" Vasily asked, frowning.
"Don't be naïve, who cares about that thing when the war is fought." Kulikov sneered, disgusted by Vasily's naïve thoughts. Along the way, the more he felt that this young man could become a hero by luck rather than strength. A naïve guy like him will never survive the end of the war unless God forbids it.
Speaking of such a dangerous weapon as poison gas, we have to mention the Geneva Accords. The Geneva Conventions, also known as the Geneva Conventions; The full name is the Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases and Bacteriological Methods of Warfare. The agreement was signed by 37 countries, including the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, at the Conference on the Control of International Trade in Arms, Munitions and Instruments of War, convened by the League of Nations in Geneva on June 17, 1925.
Entered into force on February 8, 1928, valid for an unlimited period of time.
But war is one of the ugliest acts in human history. When the two warring sides are caught in the realm of Shura fighting for war, who can care to abide by these humanitarian-based conventions? What's more, on the opposite side of the Axis powers, there was also an Italy that had won the war with poison gas before, and they used extremely dangerous mustard gas in the Ethiopian war, and in the end it even caused direct casualties of up to 275ooo people.
Thinking of this, Su Qin secretly shook his head helplessly and pulled Vasily, who still wanted to argue, to get the gas mask. While he doesn't think that the poison gas of this era can match the most dangerous biological and chemical weapons of the later era, it is always a good idea to be more prepared. Gas bombs quickly dissipate into the air when used in open areas, and the high number of casualties in the Ethiopian war is more due to the lack of protective knowledge and equipment in Ethiopia. The only place where poison gas can have a long-term impact is in a street fighting environment like Stalingrad.
"Su Qin." Political Commissar Danilov suddenly beckoned to this side and motioned for Su Qin to come over.
"What's the matter?"
"Let's go outside and talk." Looking at the chaotic environment around him, the young Wenxuan political commissar frowned and pulled Su Qin out of the door.
Outside the camp, Danilov circled several times, and stopped talking several times, until his lips were burned by the burned cigarette. Taking a deep breath, Danilov looked at Su Qin, who was waiting on the side, and said, "There is not very good news. Recently, many of our soldiers have been deliberately shot through the knee and mutilated, although I believe it must not have been done by you. But because of the previous rumors, some soldiers thought that the bone picker had gone crazy. They said......"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Qin sneered and interrupted Danilov's words bluntly.
"If I'm not mistaken, those rumors wouldn't have spread so quickly without your help."
Su Qin has always been disgusted with the guy in front of him who likes to play tricks. There were many rumors about the bone-picker, a lie that he and several other junior officers in charge of propaganda had deliberately concocted to increase the fear and war weariness of the German soldiers. Although the magic sword did benefit from it, it caused a lot of trouble to Su Qin himself. So, that doesn't make it a reason for them to take advantage of him.
"I'm sorry for that." Danilov took off his hat in embarrassment and whispered, and he quickly puffed up his chest again. "But a certain general above secretly conveyed a verbal order to me."
"Oh, that must not be good news, right?" Su Qin sneered and said mockingly.
"He orders you to do everything you can to eliminate that damned imitator of the enemy and prevent the negativity from spreading further among our soldiers." After so many days, Danilov also knew that Su Qin did not think very well of him. However, he didn't care about the other party's disrespectful attitude, anyway, the person who needed to go to the battlefield to fight hard was not himself.
"It's an interesting order, I don't think a bone picker can have that much influence. But then again, it's very suspicious that the bigwigs above would believe such baseless rumors about the battlefield compared to the former. This kind of verbal instruction that would not leave any official documents was not convincing, and Su Qin couldn't even determine whether this password came from the Propaganda Department or the Command.
"......," Danilov said with a nervous wipe of his glasses, and then said with a grim look. "Soldier! This is a ...... from the High Command"
"Come on, I'll fix this." Su Qin yawned without giving face, and turned around and walked to the camp: "The time is set tomorrow when I wake up." ”
Danilov gritted his teeth and punched the wall on the spot, glaring fiercely at the other party's back and watching the other person's back go away, but did not dare to say anything. Previously, in order to exaggerate Vasily's heroic deeds, he and several other staff members of the Propaganda Department did not publicize the merits of other snipers. But they were reluctant to let these people deter, so they spread the various deeds of the snipers in the form of horror stories and battlefield rumors.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the actions of the unknown German sniper caused them to shoot themselves in the foot. Rumors that were originally used to intimidate enemy soldiers have now turned into battlefield myths that indiscriminately intimidate both sides. In order to extinguish the wildfire before their actions could be revealed, Danilov had to order Su Qin to eliminate the damned German sniper under the guise of a non-existent "general". Anyway, even if an ordinary soldier like the other party sees a problem, he can only obediently carry out the order.
At the moment, although his purpose has been achieved. But Su Qin's condescending attitude made Danilov extremely unhappy. I knew that I would have chosen someone else, the young commissar thought unhappily in his heart.
In fact, he didn't know that even if he didn't have this false order, Su Qin would take the initiative to investigate this matter. The events of the day show that the Germans were eyeing Vasily as well as themselves. From this, it is not difficult to deduce that the German sniper who imitated himself was obviously playing a trick to lure the snake out of the hole. The other party is most likely the little sniper who used the magic bullet during the day.
"Finally, there are some eyebrows." Beside the campfire, Su Qin unconsciously touched the scorpion ring on his index finger and whispered with a smile.
ps: Today, after hesitation, I still wrote the prologue I wrote before. At first, because the prologue was too long, I didn't go straight out. Later, under the advice of a friend, I decided to bring it up. Readers who have time can check it out, I have put the prologue in volume zero.
