Kursk is a relatively large city. After the war broke out, although evacuation work was carried out, the city fell as soon as the work started, so that most of the residents stayed in the city.
Residents who had been busy all day in the east of the city were walking home one after another when they suddenly saw German soldiers escorting a group of prisoners coming in from outside the city. The German police patrolling the streets quickly stopped the residents walking on the road.
They were all pushed onto the sidewalk to prevent them from disturbing the march of the prisoner team.
From the outbreak of the war to the present, a large number of Soviet commanders and fighters have become prisoners of the Germans and been escorted humiliatingly on their own land. As a city occupied by the Germans, Kursk can often be seen being escorted from various places.
Soviet prisoners of war who had arrived. So they all stood quietly on the roadside, looking numbly at the German soldiers and prisoners of war marching on the street.
When the prisoner of war position passed in front of them, the residents dispersed and returned to their homes, because the curfew was coming soon. If they continued to stay on the street, once they were caught by the Germans, they might be taken into custody.
Resistance elements were imprisoned in dark prisons or shot in the street.
But a young worker named Yarak stayed far away. He unexpectedly discovered that the prisoner-of-war troops quickly divided into four teams after entering the city. Each team consisted of ten German soldiers carrying two guns.
Composed of thirty unarmed Soviet prisoners of war, they walked quickly along different streets, led by the police who helped maintain order.
"What's going on?" Yarak muttered in a low voice: "The camp where prisoners of war are held is in the south of the city, but it's obvious that this team of prisoners is not going in that direction. Do they want to lock up all these newly captured prisoners of war?"
Are you in the city? But even if you want to be locked up in the city, you should be locked up in one place. How can you go to different directions at the same time?"
Just as Yarak was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a German policeman running out of the crowd and shouting something loudly in German. But his shout was soon interrupted, and a German soldier rushed out after him.
, covering his mouth with his hand and slit his neck with a sharp dagger.
Seeing this shocking scene, Yarak couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "What's going on? Why did the Germans start killing each other?" He was afraid of being killed, so he hurriedly hid in a corner.
inside, carefully observing the movement in the distance.
The killed policeman was thrown into the ruins nearby, and the German soldier who killed him returned to the team. What was strange was that the prisoners of war in the team actually gave him a thumbs-up, and some of them were still in his cell.
Two pats on the shoulder. Seeing this scene, Yarak was even more surprised. When did the relationship between prisoners of war and the Germans become so friendly? What's more, it was after killing a German policeman.
But what surprised him even more was yet to come. After the German police on duty on the streets were cleared, a group of Soviet commanders appeared at the entrance to the city. They used the buildings or ruins on both sides of the street to quickly advance forward.
"Comrade Battalion Commander," a strange voice suddenly sounded next to Yarak: "A commoner was found here, what should we do with him?"
Yarak turned his head and saw a dozen Soviet commanders and fighters standing behind him, including one officer. He was deeply afraid that he would suffer the fate of the German policeman. He couldn't help but tremble in his legs and said nervously.
: "No, don't kill me, I didn't see anything." After saying these two sentences, he wanted to run away, but because he was too scared, his legs could not move at all, so he could only stand there and resign himself to his fate.
The officer standing in front of Yarak was none other than Sokov. In order to speed up the capture of Kursk, he ordered soldiers disguised as German soldiers to clear the streets they passed of Germans so that he could lead his troops
Follow them into the city.
I thought it was getting late and the residents had returned to their homes, but I didn't expect to find a resident peeping here. Sokov looked at the young man in front of him and asked with a stern expression: "Who are you?
What kind of job?"
"Comrade Commander," Hearing that the person opposite spoke standard Russian, Yarak guessed that the other person might be a real Soviet soldier. The heart that had been hanging in his throat was put back in his stomach, and he quickly replied : "My name is Yarak, and I am a worker in a machinery factory. I just passed by here after get off work. I saw a group of Germans escorting our soldiers into the city. I stopped and took a few more looks out of curiosity."
"Tell me about it, Yarak." Sokov put his finger on the trigger of the assault rifle. If the other party's answer does not satisfy him, he will pull the trigger without hesitation and send the other party to see God: "
What did you see?"
"I just saw a German soldier kill a German policeman who was leading them." After Yarak said this, he immediately realized that the German soldier he saw might be a Soviet army in disguise, so he
Surprised, he asked: "Comrade Commander, aren't those Germans our comrades in disguise?"
Sokov removed his finger from the trigger, nodded at him, and said: "Yes, he is indeed our comrade. Yarak, do you know where there are Germans?"
"Yes, there are Germans in our factory." Yarak said through gritted teeth: "There are five German soldiers and twenty policemen. They are afraid that we will steal the products from the factory and give them to the guerrillas.
The team had to conduct a basic body search on us every day when we got off work. Two days ago, the Germans suspected that several workers were members of the underground resistance organization, so they arrested them at the factory gate and shot them all in front of everyone.
."
"Damn Germans, it's time for them to pay their blood debt." After Sokov said this, he asked Yarak: "Yaraq, are you willing to take my people to the factory?"
When Yarak heard what Sokov said, he immediately realized that the other party was planning to get rid of the German soldiers and police in the factory. He nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Yes, Comrade Commander, I am willing to lead you."
Sokov looked left and right and found that there was only one officer, Zheliya, commander of the second platoon of the second company, so he ordered him: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, take your platoon and go to the machinery factory with this Yalak and bring him
Kill all the Germans in the factory." After Zheliya agreed resoundingly, he took his men and followed Yalak to the machinery factory.
