"The death sentence has been passed and must be executed immediately. In order to avoid involving my subordinates, I asked all three of them to leave, leaving only the female pilot as a witness.
When the three soldiers left and put the cover over their heads, the general suddenly begged me with tears in his eyes, hoping that I could let him go and be willing to agree to all my conditions..."
Koshkin heard this and said angrily: "Damn coward, he should have been shot long ago."
But Sokov felt something was wrong, because Aku said that his subordinates beat the general to death, but now in the room on the lower floor, only Aku, the female pilot and the general were left, and the rest
The subordinates all returned to the bunker on the upper level and had no chance to kill the general. What on earth was going on?
With this question, Sokov stopped Koshkin from continuing and asked proactively: "Comrade Aku, didn't you just say that your subordinates killed the general? But now on the lower floor, except for
You and the female pilot didn’t have any subordinates present, so how did they kill this general?”
"Comrade Commander, don't worry, I'm going to stop here soon." Aku continued: "The female pilot was soft-hearted. Seeing the general pleading, she couldn't bear to watch any more. Just as she stood up to leave
At this moment, the general suddenly took action, rushed up and snatched the submachine gun from her hand, hijacked her, and threatened me to put down the weapon. I was worried that he would hurt the female pilot, so I could only put the weapon in my hand on the table.
"
When Koshkin heard this, he became very angry: "Hey, why are you so careless? He actually robbed us of weapons and even took a hostage."
"Lieutenant Koshkin, don't talk." Sokov interrupted Koshkin again. He felt that the point of what Aku wanted to say was coming: "Please continue talking. I think there are some things that even if you see them with your own eyes, you can't see them."
It has to be real.”
When Aku heard what Sokov said, he couldn't help but trembled, and then a shocked expression appeared on his face: "Comrade General, you are right. Some things may not be true even if we see them with our own eyes.
I put the weapon on the table, thinking that I would become a lamb to be slaughtered in the hands of the general. Unexpectedly, after he saw me putting down the weapon, he loosened the arm of the female pilot and even said sorry to her.
.Then he said to the female pilot: You go out first, I want to have a good chat with the corporal.
After the female pilot went out and covered the cover, I looked at the general opposite and said with a sneer: 'Comrade General, if you want to take action, go ahead. But I remind you, three of my subordinates are above, so you can
Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape from here.'
'Don't worry, comrade corporal, I won't kill you.' The general said, putting the submachine gun in his hand on the table, and said to me: 'There are only two of us here, and I can tell you a secret.
'
The general's behavior made me a little confused. In order to find out what was going on, I asked: 'What's the secret?'
The general pointed at the diamond-shaped collar badge inlaid with two gold stars and said to me: 'Actually, I am not a general. This general uniform is fake.'
'Fake?' His words shocked me. I forgot that I was still full of hostility towards him. I reached out and touched his collar badge. The touch from my fingers made me understand that the collar badge was definitely real.
So I asked back: 'Comrade General, no matter how I look at it, I don't think this general uniform is fake.'
'You misunderstood me.' The general explained to me: 'When I say this general uniform is fake, I don't mean that the clothes are fake, but that my identity is fake. In fact, I am a member of the 12th Army Group.
A reconnaissance staff officer with the rank of captain. My task is to wear this general uniform, hold a fake document, fly through the German-occupied area, and find a way to get them to shoot me down. When the time comes, this fake document will
It will naturally fall into their hands.'
I didn't know whether what the general said was true or false, so I asked tentatively: 'What is the content of this document?'
"An attack plan, fake." The fake general, the reconnaissance staff officer, said to me: "We want the Germans to think that we will concentrate our forces to launch an attack at a certain location, thereby attracting them to move their main forces there.
In this way, our defensive operations gain valuable time to strengthen the defense system.'
He finally said to me: 'Comrade Corporal, I hope you can help me leave the bunker, escape to the Germans, and deliberately let this false document fall into their hands so that they can make wrong judgments.'"
Hearing Aku mention the 12th Army, Sokov immediately thought that Ponedelin was the commander of the army before. If such a deception plan had been implemented, he would surely have an impression. Thinking of this, he quickly ordered
Koshkin: "Lieutenant Koshkin, please go and call Lieutenant Colonel Ponedelin over."
"After the reconnaissance staff chatted with me for a while, he made a request to me, hoping that I could let him out. When he fled towards the German position, he fired machine guns from behind to make the Germans believe that he was going to defect to them.
I agreed to his request and said that I would let him go after all the soldiers above him went to sleep.
We waited for an hour on the lower floor. After hearing no movement above, I opened the cover to check and found that everyone in the bunker was sleeping, so I quietly let the reconnaissance staff go.
When he was more than thirty meters away from the bunker, I shot him in the back as agreed. In order to avoid accidental injury, I deliberately raised the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets flew over his head. He knew that I
You won't hit him, so you don't run in a Z-shape when running, but in a straight line.
But what I didn't expect was that the gunfire alerted the other three soldiers. They saw me shooting wildly outside and didn't know what was going on. They all gathered around and asked what was going on.
In order to keep the secret of the reconnaissance staff, I could not tell them the truth. I could only say that the general had escaped. In order to prevent him from surrendering to the Germans, I was shooting at him. But I never dreamed that this was what happened to me.
In a word, it caused irreparable disaster.
When I aimed the shot above the head of the reconnaissance staff again, a soldier picked up the rifle, placed it on the shooting hole, and after taking aim for a while, he decisively pulled the trigger. After a crisp gunshot,
The running reconnaissance staff member was shaken, as if he had hit a transparent wall, and then his body slowly fell to the ground.
When I saw that my subordinates had killed the reconnaissance staff officer, in order not to reveal the secret, I couldn't blame him, so I could only bite the bullet and say: 'That was a really accurate shot!'
The sound of my shooting alerted the Germans in the distance. They discovered that the general from the daytime was running towards their position. The German commander immediately sent a dozen people to respond. When the reconnaissance staff fell to the ground after being shot,
, a German soldier crawled over, cut off the handle of the briefcase with a dagger, turned around and ran back.
The sacrifice of the reconnaissance staff filled my heart with anger. Seeing the German take the briefcase from his hand, I locked him and blocked his retreat with intensive firepower. Soon, the German soldier
Died by our random gunfire.
Maybe my shooting made the Germans mistakenly think that this document was really important, so they immediately sent out new soldiers to continue snatching the briefcase. In this way, they killed twelve soldiers before taking the
The briefcase disappeared from my sight."
"Then what did you do with the remains of the reconnaissance staff?" Sokov asked solemnly.
"We don't know if there are enemies hiding around, so we can't go out to collect the corpses for the reconnaissance staff." Aku expressed his concerns at the time, "I'm also worried that once I send someone out to collect the corpses, it may arouse the suspicion of the Germans, which will
This led to the failure of our army's deception plan.
In the next two days, the surroundings were quiet, and the Germans who had been attacking every day in recent times had no movement. I personally ventured out to conduct reconnaissance and found that the surrounding German soldiers had withdrawn at some point. I considered going into the bunker
There are not many supplies in storage, and they have to be moved sooner or later anyway. It is better to move as soon as possible while there are no Germans around, and stay away from this dangerous place.
Passing by the place where the reconnaissance staff died, I saw his body still lying there, but there was no time to bury it. After taking one last look at his body, I left with the remaining soldiers and female pilots."
"Comrade Aku," Sokov raised his own question after listening to Aku's story: "You said that after the enemies surrounding your bunker withdrew, you broke out with four other comrades because you were worried about the Germans.
If you show up again, you won't even have time to bury the remains of the reconnaissance staff. I want to ask, what happened when you broke out that prevented you from returning to the team yet?"
"Comrade General, I just said that with the fall of Vinnitsa, we are already deep in the enemy's rear. Although the enemies surrounding our bunker have retreated, we are still surrounded by the enemy. We are more than ten meters away from the bunker.
Kilometers away, we encountered a German patrol. After a fierce battle, all three of my soldiers were killed, but the female pilot was scattered during the battle.
I originally wanted to go to the Uman area alone to look for the main troops here. Unfortunately, before I got there, I met a group of fleeing people. They told me that the troops in the Uman area were also surrounded by the Germans.
中. Hearing what they said, I realized that if I continued to go to Uman, I would be throwing myself into a trap. After repeated consideration, I decided to flee with this group of refugees, and thus came to Chernivtsi."
Aku looked at Herus: "A few days ago, I accidentally saw Herus on the road. I thought I had seen it wrong. After looking carefully, I confirmed that he was my old friend Herus.
Si. He was riding in a jeep at that time. Before I could step forward to recognize him, the jeep disappeared from my sight.
I learned that the troops were heading to Otac, so I quickly walked to Otac and asked around for the whereabouts of Herus. Fortunately, I was lucky and actually found Herus. So I told the story of my experience
I told him everything and asked him to arrange for me to meet you."
"Second Lieutenant Khrus is quite a friend." Sokov looked at Khrus and said with a trace of mockery on his face: "You actually arranged for me to meet you."
"Comrade Commander, I was wrong." Khrus heard the dissatisfaction in Sokov's tone and quickly admitted his mistake: "I saw that Aku was so pitiful, so I couldn't help but want to help him."
"Comrade Commander," Koshkin came in from the outside and reported to Sokov: "Lieutenant Colonel Ponedelin is here!"
"Invite him in quickly!"
Soon, Ponedelin walked into the room quickly. After scanning the faces of Khrus and Aku, his eyes rested on Sokov's face again: "Comrade Commander, may I ask your question?"
What do you want from me?"
"Lieutenant Colonel Ponedelin, please sit down." After Sokov asked Ponedelin to sit down, he said: "I invited you here today because I have something important to ask you.
"
When Ponedelin heard Sokov's question, he couldn't help but look at Khrus and Aku sitting next to him again. He thought that these two people were obviously not from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Presumably what the commander wanted to ask had something to do with this.
The two of them had no relationship, so they said respectfully: "Comrade Commander, if you have any questions, please feel free to tell me."
"I want to ask, in the early days of the war..." Sokov suddenly realized that he didn't know the specific time, so he turned to Aku and asked: "What is the specific time?"
"July 29, 1941."
"Lieutenant Colonel Ponejelin, on July 29, 1941, did you send a reconnaissance staff officer to pretend to be a general to perform a special secret mission?"
"Wait a minute, Comrade Commander." Regarding the question raised by Sokov, Ponedelin did not answer immediately, but frowned and said: "The time interval is too long, I have to think about it carefully and see if I can
Do you remember it?"
"It's okay, you can take your time to recall." Sokov said reasonably.
Ponejelin frowned and thought for a long time, and finally recovered part of his memory: "Yes, Comrade Commander, I seem to have remembered something. In order to contain the German attack and divert their attention, we made a plan
A deception plan was devised, which was to deliberately let a false combat plan fall into the hands of the Germans, thereby diverting their attention from the Uman area to other areas.
The person who was used as bait at that time was a reconnaissance staff officer. As for his military rank, I can’t remember clearly..."
"It's the rank of captain." Aku reminded him.
"Yes, yes," after Aku's reminder, Ponejelin also remembered: "He is indeed a captain. The mission he received was to disguise himself as a major general of our army and fly on a reconnaissance plane.
While flying over the German-occupied areas, the plane was shot down by the Germans, and he would be sacrificed or captured. The documents he carried with him would cause the German commanders to make wrong judgments, and thus allocate part of the troops in the Uman area to go
A fictitious attack location."
"Lieutenant Colonel Ponejelin, let me introduce to you. This is Comrade Aku. Before the Germans occupied Vinnitsa, he was an ordinary corporal with only a few subordinates. They saw you with their own eyes.
The whole process of the plane your subordinates were traveling in was shot down by a German fighter jet, and you even rescued the female pilot and your subordinates in the bunker."
