"When shall we set off?" Mika asked eagerly, holding the rifle.
"Victor stays here and continues to stare," the old hunter said unexpectedly, "Mika, you and I follow those people farther away, and then deal with them."
Without waiting for the two young men to say anything else, Ino turned around with his ski poles and rushed out along the slope. Seeing this, Mika immediately got up and caught up with the former on his skis. When Wei Ran reacted,
He had disappeared before.
"You do trust me"
Wei Ran looked at the telescope in his hand and the submachine gun in his arms, then lay down on the wolfskin blanket and continued to stare at the frozen lake outside the forest and the forest opposite.
It wasn't until an hour later that a brief and vague sound of exchange of fire came from a distance, followed by silence for less than ten minutes. During this period, the field of view of the telescope held by Weiran remained quiet, and there was no Soviet Red Army at all.
Come out of the forest on the opposite side.
More than half an hour later, Mika and Ino each used a rope to drag a prisoner fixed to the skis back to the camp. Several Mosinas were also tied to the legs of the two prisoners with deerskin ropes.
Gan submachine gun and a ppd submachine gun with the drum removed, and of course, a Soviet sack backpack filled with various trophies.
After leaving the sentry job to Mika, Wei Ran and Ino's father pushed one of the prisoners into the tent and began to interrogate. To Wei Ran's surprise, this time the prisoner turned out to be a blue hat, and judging from the fierceness of the other party
You could tell by the look in his eyes that it would be difficult to ask anything out of his mouth.
Repeating the same trick, he pinched the opponent's sleeve. There was no paper ball stuffed inside to keep warm like the last prisoner. He opened the collar and found that except for a sweater and a shirt that were not too thick, there was nothing else inside.
Warm clothes. And there were already a lot of frostbites on his face and hands.
"Which regiment of the 163rd Infantry Division is across the way?" Wei Ran tried to ask, and then the blue hat spit on him.
Before Wei Ran could say anything, Ino's father had already grabbed the prisoner by the collar and pressed his face against the hot stove. The pungent smell of burning protein spread in the tent.
The blue hat was about to scream, but Daddy Ino had already stuffed the glove into his mouth.
The lingering green smoke made the air in the tent particularly choking. It wasn't until the prisoner passed out from the severe pain that Father Ino removed his face from the stove, and then pulled away the pine needles on the ground.
He grabbed a handful of snow and applied it to the wound on the other person's face.
The coldness and heat also made the other party wake up again. Seeing this, Ino's father took out the gloves from the other party's mouth and said, "Victor, ask him if he has been to Ahola Village."
Although Wei Ran didn't understand the reason, he still translated the original words. At the same time, Ino's father also picked up the kettle that had already been boiled on the stove. Looking at him, he seemed to be ready to boil the boiling water at any time.
fell on the prisoner's face.
Under such a threat, the prisoner shook his head with difficulty, "I have never heard of this place. We are all stationed in the forest on the other side of the lake."
Wei Ran first shook his head at Ino's father, and then asked, "Is your division commander Zelentsov in the forest?"
"Not here." The blue hat looked at the kettle hanging above his head fearfully and gave a negative answer.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know, I really don't know."
"I don't know anything. Where did you get the order to go to the 44th Division for help?" Wei Ran asked abruptly.
The expression on the blue hat's face changed, and then he simply closed his eyes. Looking at him like that, it seemed that he didn't care at all whether he would be scalded to death by the boiling water above his head.
Ino gently found the kettle, picked up a bunch of pine branches, balled them up, held the man's chin and stuffed it into his mouth, then dragged him out and replaced him with the second prisoner.
Compared to the blue hat, this prisoner was unusually cooperative, and in the answer he gave, Commander Zelentsov was hiding in the headquarters in the forest, and the mission of their team
Like the prisoners captured before, they crossed the frozen lake to contact the 44th Division for help.
"Ask him if he has been to Ahola Village." Ino asked, holding the kettle that had been boiled again. This time, he even took out a map and pointed out the location of Ahola Village on it.
Passing the question to the prisoner, the latter replied without hesitation, "Been there, we've been there."
"Have you been to the guy outside?" Father Ino continued to ask, one of his hands already grasping the handle of the kettle.
After listening to Wei Ran's account, the particularly cooperative prisoner quickly replied, "He has been there, he must have been there. We rested in that small village for several days."
Almost as soon as he heard Wei Ran give an affirmative answer, Ino's father roughly opened the prisoner's mouth, stuffed a bunch of pine branches inside, and then dragged him outside to line up with the blue hat.
, poured boiling water on their faces!
Wei Ran frowned, silently lowered the tent curtain to block the tragedy and screams outside, and quietly sat in the tent wiping the submachine gun in his hand.
After a long time, the suppressed screams outside suddenly stopped. A few minutes later, Ino entered the tent carrying a water bottle filled with snow in one hand and a sack full of loot in the other.
"I hope I didn't scare you," Ino said lonely.
"No," Wei Ran replied with his head lowered, as if all his attention was on the submachine gun in his hand.
However, his attitude made Ino's father start talking. After the old guy poured out all the contents of the sack, he picked up a Nagant revolver, looked at it and handed it to Wei Ran, and took the initiative to explain.
, "My son is the captain of the Citizen Guard of Ahola Village, and Mika's brother is a member of the Civil Guard of Ahola Village. After they were caught by the Soviets, they were tortured to death using the same torture method."
Wei Ran stopped moving his hands and sighed without saying anything. The old man may be cruel, but he has not experienced anything the other person has experienced, so he is not qualified to persuade the other person to be kind.
Before the Soviet-Finnish War started, in the eyes of the Soviets, Finland was just a small player who would be frightened into voluntarily surrendering if only one shot was fired. In this battle, the role of the Soviet Union as the aggressor was
The character is far from being as great and noble as the image in the Soviet-German war.
It can even be said that the aggressor in any war will have a lot less scruples fighting on the other side's soil. This was the case with Germany in World War II, the same was true with the Japanese who recruited nuclear weapons, and the Soviet Union, which did not take Finland seriously, was also not that big.
the difference.
Even in the relatively peaceful 21st century, the kangaroo comrades hybridized by Ugly and his group of criminals often do similar things on other people's lands.
It may not matter whether war destroys human nature or whether it is caused by the ugliness of human nature. But Wei Ran knows that if one day he is lucky enough to return to the Chinese battlefield, maybe he will make the same choice as Ino's father.
