On the third day after arriving in Mine No. 52, when Wei Ran was woken up by the alarm clock again, the window was the same as before. He could only see the lights in the prisoner of war camp and the searchlight on the top of the sentry tower.
"Get up quickly"
On another bed less than half a meter away, Dr. Goosen yawned and said, "If we go faster, maybe we can meet Mikita."
Hearing this, Wei Ran yawned and got up, put on thick and heavy clothes, and without even washing his face, he followed Dr. Gusen out of the dormitory, went downstairs and went straight to the building where Mikita and Wei Ran's dormitories were located.
.
In just a few steps, Wei Ran discovered that several trucks and two crawler bulldozers had been parked at the foot of the two statues in the center of the building complex.
Although there was no one in the cab of the bulldozer, there was a dog of unknown breed wagging its tail enthusiastically toward the outside.
In the open space between the truck and the bulldozer, four groups of prisoners of war had already formed a small square formation. They were receiving cold-proof clothing and some food from several nurses headed by Pontiac's head nurse.
of drink.
Curious, I went over to take a look. In addition to a large piece of Leba, a pot of hot water and a pickled fish, these prisoners of war received four salt-boiled potatoes and a piece of bacon the size of a cigarette box. Even at the end
, each prisoner of war also received a box of cigarettes, two blankets, two pairs of wool socks, and a pair of thick boots.
As far as Wei Ran saw, many prisoners of war who had received boots and socks immediately used wool socks as ear protection and scarves to keep warm after returning to the queue, and then draped the blankets on their shoulders as cloaks.
, and wrapped another one diagonally around his shoulders.
These supplies are definitely a new year for these prisoners of war, but I don't know how long they will need to rely on these supplies. Even from Wei Ran's point of view, this is more like letting them have a full meal before they die.
Without wasting too much time on them, Wei Ran quickly walked into the restaurant with Dr. Gusen. Far away, the two of them saw Mikita and Zoya sitting side by side. Around them,
Also sitting were the members of the firing squad, including the bearded Paulide, and the political commissar Krechi. Obviously, these people came to see Mikita off.
"You are finally here." Mikita waved to Wei Ran and Gu Sen from a distance, "I thought you didn't plan to come."
"Look at the stupid things you said"
While Dr. Gusen was speaking, he placed the wooden box in his hand on the table. "There are only five bottles of vodka left from Sasha. I brought them all. Mikita, you have to save them."
Order a drink. Also, I know you can't take Zhuo Ya away, but don't let her wait for you here for too long."
"of course not"
Mikita said and looked at Political Commissar Krechi, "Comrade Political Commissar has promised me that we can meet at the end of April at the latest. If we still can't meet by then, he will apply to transfer Zoya back to Kazan.
Work."
"Comrade Mikita is right."
Political Commissar Krechi smiled and said, "Just before you two, Mikita and Zoya have decided to get married, so in order to receive invitations to their wedding, I will let them meet as soon as possible."
"It seems I'm going to prepare a wedding gift for you," Dr. Goosen said with a smile, as if he was not surprised by the news.
"It won't be five bottles of vodka by then, right?" Zhuo Ya, who had been silent just now, added next to her, which immediately caused the people around her to burst into laughter.
After joking, this simple breakfast became more and more lively, but Wei Ran could vaguely see that neither Dr. Gusen nor Mikita seemed to have deliberately not communicated in private, let alone talked too much about work.
Irrelevant topics.
After breakfast, Mikita and the executioners rushed to the statue of Stalin and stood in a row. Weiran also returned to the dormitory belonging to him and Mikita as quickly as possible, and took the radio that he had never had the chance to use.
Kiev brand camera.
By the time he arrived at the foot of the statue with his camera, the prisoners of war had already gotten into the truck. Mikita also spoke first and said, "Victor, I used your camera to take some photos with Zoya.
Remember to give the negatives to Zhuo Ya after you develop them."
"I will remember it," Wei Ran said, shaking the camera in his hand, "How about you let me take some group photos for everyone?"
"Let's take a picture of the two of them first," Dr. Goosen said, raising his finger to Zoya, whose eyes were red, and Mikita, who was smiling playfully.
Naturally, no one had objections to this proposal. Upon seeing this, Wei Ran also asked the people who were preparing to take pictures to step back a distance until the viewfinder could completely accommodate the statues of Comrade Lenin and Comrade Stalin, then he signaled to Mikita
He Zhuoya stood in front of him.
I don't know if it was the instruction of Political Commissar Krejci, but after a while, the sentry towers in the distance also turned on the searchlights that were supposed to be aimed at the prisoner of war camp to serve as a light source for taking pictures.
Although the beam of the searchlight was too dazzling, the female nurse Zoya suddenly became more courageous. She reached out and hooked Mikita's neck, and took the initiative to give her a sweet kiss.
Amid the cheers and whistles from the people around him, Wei Ran seized the opportunity to press the shutter and took the first photo since arriving at Mine No. 52.
With these two people at the beginning, Dr. Goosen, Political Commissar Krejci, and even Pontiac Nurse and others, as well as the execution team members who set off with Mikita and even members of the exploration team who had not been in contact before, also
People came over in groups and asked Wei Ran to take individual photos or group photos for them.
After finally taking a large enough group photo of everyone, Dr. Goosen raised his finger and pointed at the prisoners of war who had boarded the train and said, "Comrade political commissar, how about taking a photo of them too? After all, those prisoners of war helped me complete the project.
, I want to take a group photo of them as a souvenir."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "As long as Victor is willing to take the film," Political Commissar Krejci said in an extremely open voice.
"I have no problem." Wei Ran answered very simply.
Seeing this, Mikita immediately blew his whistle, and the surrounding executioners also immediately ran to the truck, greeted the prisoners of war to get out one after another, and took a picture in front of two two-story-high statues.
A happy group photo.
"Victor, Paulide, I leave the firing squad to you."
After Mikita waited for the prisoners of war to get back into the car, he said with a trace of apology, "I'm sorry I took the others away, but I believe that with the two of you here and the support of the political commissar Krechi, the firing squad will definitely resume.
Established.”
"Don't worry, Captain Mikita!" The bearded Paulide saluted, "When we meet next time, our firing squad will have at least 20 members."
"I'm looking forward to that day too"
Mikita also returned a military salute, then patted Wei Ran affectionately on the shoulder and said without hesitation, "Victor, don't be blinded by hatred. We are members of the firing squad, so we must maintain our integrity."
Be rational and clear-headed. I hope that when we meet next time, you will already be a qualified captain."
"I also hope that you can invite me to your and Zhuo Ya's wedding next time we meet." Wei Ran reached out and shook hands with the other person, and at the same time sent his sincere blessings without hesitation.
"I will definitely invite you then!" Mikita laughed and promised, "I will invite all of you then."
At this moment, a member of the firing squad also escorted a prisoner of war from a distance. When it got closer, Wei Ran was surprised to find that this prisoner of war was the prisoner of war No. 589 that he had just interrogated yesterday. At the same time, it
He is also the culprit responsible for making those short swords.
"Captain Victor"
Mikita said with a smile, "Zoya told me that this bastard's cooking skills are very good, so I am going to bring him with me."
Having said this, Mikita looked at Political Commissar Krechi again, "Comrade Political Commissar, this prisoner of war is the forger of those daggers discovered yesterday. As a punishment for it, let me take it away too. I guarantee that it will
Eventually he will freeze to death on the west side of the Ural Mountains."
"It's just a prisoner of war." Political Commissar Krechi waved his hand nonchalantly, apparently agreeing to Mikita's request.
Seeing him look at him again, Wei Ran, who had been indifferent to this matter, immediately spread his hands and expressed his agreement. How could he not see that Mikita was worried that he would use this prisoner of war to kill others.
“One last thing”
In front of the political commissar Krechi, Mikita pointed to the prisoner of war who was pushed into the car and said, "Although it was taken away by me, according to the torture, the place where it made weapons is still hidden in the mine, so
Victor, you and Paulide remember to search in those mines, I suspect there are other weapons hidden there."
"Captain Paulide and I will deal with this matter next."
Wei Ran agreed without thinking. This was obviously Mikita's arrangement. It didn't matter if he didn't understand it now. He believed that Zhuo Ya would explain the matter in detail at the appropriate time.
Mikita gave Zoya a last hug, whispered something in her ear, and then shouted loudly, "Let's go!"
As the order was issued, many members of the firing squad carrying Type 1 AK47 assault rifles each opened the passenger door of a truck and got in. Several nurses, led by the Pontiac head nurse, also got in.
A truck specially prepared for them.
With the roar of the engines, the two bulldozers were the first to start and headed for the distant river. Zoya also kissed Mikita again at this last moment with tears in her eyes.
Seeing this, Dr. Gusen was the first to turn around and walk towards the hospital. Krechi also coughed, signaling Wei Ran and Paulide to give up their private space to the young couple.
In less than five minutes, a dozen trucks, led by two bulldozers, drove out of Mine No. 52 little by little, onto the frozen river, and finally disappeared into the long night.
