Chapter 1899 The Unsung Hero (Part 2)

Aku took a sip of tea, and then continued: "After the general entered our bunker, the Germans dispatched more troops to besiege us. In the evening, they even set up a big Trumpet, persuaded us to lay down our arms and surrender, saying that we would be treated as a prisoner of war.

  We responded with bullets to the Germans' persuasion. A soldier knocked down the loudspeaker outside with a rotary machine gun, and the bunker finally fell silent.

  I asked the general how things were going outside, and he said it was bad, Belarus was lost, Vinnytsia was lost, the enemy had rushed to Kyiv, and it was only a matter of time before the entire Ukraine was lost.

  Hearing the pessimism in his words, my first feeling was that he was scared and panicked by the current situation. But in any case, the opponent is a general, and all of us must obey his command unconditionally.

   So I asked him what to do next?

  Unexpectedly, he replied that our position is now behind the enemy, and there is no hope of breaking through. If we want to survive, the only way is to put down our weapons and surrender to the enemy. "

Unexpectedly, as soon as Aku said this, he heard a loud "bang". It turned out that Koshkin slapped the table heavily and said sharply: "What is the name of this general, and where is he now?" , I will personally send him to a court-martial.”

   "Dead, already dead." Aku said sadly, "He was shot and killed by one of my subordinates."

"A good death, a good death!" Koshkin learned that the general who was about to make his subordinates surrender had been beaten to death by Aku's men, so he repeatedly applauded: "It's too cheap to let him die so quickly." him."

  But Sokov could see deep melancholy from Aku's expression, as if he felt sad about the general's death. He felt that there must be something strange in it, so he raised his hand to stop Koshkin from continuing, and said to Aku: "Comrade Aku, please tell me what happened afterwards."

Aku nodded, and continued: "After I heard that, I was very angry and yelled at the general: Comrade general, even if we are behind the enemy lines, we will still fight to the last man and kill the last man." One bullet. Never surrender to the Germans, even if all sacrificed. Do you understand?"

   "How did the general respond to you?" Sokov asked curiously.

   "He said: Comrade Corporal, your words are beautiful, but can you do it?

  I ignored him, but ordered a subordinate to lock him into the next floor of the bunker. Prevent him from escaping from the bunker and surrendering to the Germans while we're not looking.

After locking him in the bunker, I called the remaining four soldiers and the female pilot to the front, and said to everyone: This general carries important secrets of our army, and he leaked the secrets to prevent him from surrendering to the enemy. Everyone has the right to shoot him to death.

  After dark, a group of German soldiers quietly approached our bunker under the cover of night, and then sprayed flames into the firing holes with flamethrowers. Fortunately, we entered the next layer of space in time to avoid the end of being killed.

   I don't know how long it took, but the Germans stopped using flamethrowers, but stayed not far from the dark fort, quietly observing the situation here in the dark fort.

  One of my machine gunners suddenly opened the cover above his head and went straight out. I was worried that he would be in danger, so my senses followed, only to find that he wrapped the barrel of a rotary machine gun with a piece of white cloth, and pulled the gun out of the fire. Next, he wrapped the white cloth around the barrel of the gun, and rushed out of the bunker with the machine gun in his arms.

   Soon, I heard him shouting loudly outside: Don't shoot, don't shoot, I surrender.

  When I heard this sound, my lungs were about to explode, and I hurriedly rushed to the shooting hole, intending to shoot the damned traitor to death from there.

  I stood in front of the firing hole and saw the machine gunner waving the white cloth tied to the barrel of the machine gun, shouting incessantly: Don’t shoot, I surrender, I surrender!

  I suddenly realized that my judgment might have gone wrong. This machine gunner didn't really want to surrender to the Germans, but what plan was he planning to implement?

The Germans who were hiding in the distance heard the shout of the machine gunner and saw him coming out step by step holding the white flag. They thought he was really going to surrender, so they all came out of their hiding places, wanting to see the machine gunner. How the gunman begged them later. But what they didn't expect was that when the machine gunner was still more than ten meters away from them, he suddenly leveled the machine gun that was raised high, aimed the gun at the group of Germans, and violently pulled the trigger.

  Amidst a burst of clear shooting, seven or eight German soldiers fell to the ground. The rest of the soldiers either lay down on the spot, or searched for a safe place to hide, and started shooting with the machine gunner.

  The machine gunner stood on the open ground without shelter, and was quickly hit by German bullets, causing countless blood mist to erupt on his body. His body was shaking, but he insisted on finishing all the bullets in the turntable before falling down on his back.

  Until then, I didn't know that the machine gunners were not going to surrender to the Germans at all, but were trying to trick the Germans out of hiding and eliminate them with machine guns at close range.

  At this time, I heard another sound from the cover behind me, and I thought it was some subordinate who came out. But when I turned around, it turned out to be the general. Seeing that I had spotted him, he immediately shot me with a pistol. I don't know if it was my luck, or his marksmanship was too bad, but he missed me at such a close distance.

  After shooting, he turned his head and ran out of the bunker, toward where the Germans were. I saw the briefcase in his hand, and knew that he was going to leak our army's secrets to the Germans, so I would not let him go, so I immediately chased him out. At a distance of more than ten meters from the bunker, I caught up with him, knocked him unconscious with the **** of a gun, and dragged him back to the bunker. "

   "Comrade Aku," Koshkin couldn't help interjecting when he heard this, "Did you drag him back to the bunker and shoot him immediately?"

"No, Comrade Lieutenant." Aku looked at the lieutenant wearing a blue hat in front of him, feeling a little bit trembling in his heart: "Even if he shows signs of rebellion, he is still a general. How can I, a little corporal? He should be shot casually.

  I decided to form a temporary court-martial to try the general. After telling the general's crimes to the three soldiers and the female pilot, I asked: Tell me, how should we deal with this general who is about to defect to the enemy? Those who agree to shoot him, please raise your hand!

  As soon as I finished speaking, the four of them raised their hands in unison. "
