Xu Rui stood on the land of Stepankovo and kept looking around. He saw corpses of German soldiers everywhere. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere. Four or five German soldiers were lying near a burning tank.
Each of the corpses of the German soldiers kept their forward posture. Obviously, they all died trying to blow up the tank.
Xu Rui couldn't help but nodded secretly. These German soldiers were all brave and bloody, and they would not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the victory of the battle.
The German army has excellent weapons, strict training, and this brave spirit. It will definitely not happen overnight to completely defeat them.
Xu Rui couldn't help but think of the German army in history. After being constantly attacked by the Soviet Union, it was able to hold on for several years. It can be seen that the German army's fighting will is still relatively tenacious.
"Comrade Xu Rui, look!"
A Soviet soldier pointed at a corpse covered in blood and said.
Xu Rui looked at the corpse, and then he realized that it was the corpse of a German colonel. There was a broken rocket launcher next to the body. It could be seen that the colonel was fighting with the rocket launcher before he died.
Xu Rui couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The German colonel was able to fight on the front line like a small soldier. This shows that the Germans still have a brave spirit.
At this moment, Xu Rui discovered another corpse. Four of the five fingers on this corpse's right hand were broken, but he used the last finger to press the trigger of the rifle. Obviously, this German soldier fought until the end.
moment.
Xu Rui asked: "Did you catch anyone alive?"
"We captured a dozen prisoners, and the rest ran away. We didn't pursue them, so we left them alone," Serov said.
Xu Rui decided to go see the German prisoners, but halfway there, he heard the roar of a submachine gun.
Xu Rui looked forward and saw a dozen prisoners standing in a row, and a Soviet soldier was killing them with a Bobosha submachine gun.
"What are you doing? Put down the gun!" Serov shouted.
Diana also yelled. At this time, an officer next to the soldier snatched the soldier's submachine gun away. Xu Rui came to the soldier and glared at the soldier fiercely.
"What's going on? Why do we want to kill prisoners of war?" Xu Rui asked.
The soldier said: "I'm going to kill all these damn Germans, kill them all!"
Xu Rui was very angry at the Germans after hearing what the soldiers said, so he asked: "Why do you want to kill them?"
When Xu Rui asked, the soldier's eyes turned red and he said: "They are a bunch of beasts, I want to kill them all!"
"What's going on?" Xu Rui asked the officer next to the soldier.
The officer said to Xu Rui: "Sergey's fiancée died in the hands of the Germans, and he wanted to avenge his fiancée."
Xu Rui asked the soldier: "Your name is Sergey?"
"Yes." The soldier nodded.
"Your fiancée died at the hands of the Germans? What happened?" Xu Rui asked.
Sergey said: "My family originally lived in Kiev. My fiancée and I had been childhood sweethearts since childhood. We were planning to get married after Christmas. But one day, these Germans broke into our village. Not only did they kill everyone
He killed everyone in the village and raped all the young women, including my fiancée."
"When I returned to the village with a few friends, the whole village had been set on fire, and my fiancée was burned alive by these Germans. From that moment on, I swore that I would kill these Germans for my life.
Fiancée, avenge our whole village! Later, several of my friends and I left Kiev, came to Moscow, and joined the Red Army. Counting me, there were eight people in total who went with me, and seven of them have been sacrificed. Now
I am the only living person in the whole village, and I must avenge the blood feud of the whole village!"
"So that's it." Xu Rui nodded.
Xu Rui couldn't help but think that in many cases, some of the behaviors of invaders were common. They burned, killed, looted, and committed evil. In their eyes, this was a reward after victory, but for the people on the invaded side, it was not
Suffered too much.
For these invaders, sometimes blood for blood and tooth for tooth is the best way. This is what I did in China.
But this is the Soviet Union, and the grudges between the Germans and the Soviets have nothing to do with you. You just need to do what you do well.
Frankly speaking, Xu Rui understood Sergey's behavior very well, but Sergey's behavior violated military law after all. If he ignored it, it would be very bad for the future military management, so Xu Rui said: "Thank you.
Ergai, no matter what, your behavior has violated military law, so you will be punished with three days of confinement. If you shoot a prisoner of war again in the future, then I will definitely punish you severely."
"yes!"
When they heard that Sergey was only punished with three days of confinement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Sergey's boss. Everyone looked at Xu Rui with grateful eyes.
Speaking of which, although Sergey shot the prisoner of war, it was excusable. Everyone had deep sympathy for Sergey in their hearts. If Xu Rui wanted to punish him severely, then people would be dissatisfied. If not,
Punishing him was not justified in terms of military law, so locking him up for three days was a happy outcome for everyone.
The officer winked at Sergey, and Sergey could feel Xu Rui's sympathy, so he gave Xu Rui a military salute.
Xu Rui asked Sergey to be taken away, but he was thinking to himself that most Soviet people have blood and backbone, and they are indeed a fighting nation. There is still hope for such a nation.
Xu Rui came to the surviving German prisoners of war, and saw that these German prisoners of war were all trembling with fear. Obviously, Sergey's killing spree just now really frightened them. They could see from Sergey's gun
They ran for their lives, but several people were still in shock.
Xu Rui said: "Do you want to live?"
When several people heard that Xu Rui spoke such pure German, they were surprised and nodded one after another.
Xu Rui said: "I can let you go back, but you have to tell me all the military secrets you know."
Xu Rui looked at the first German soldier.
The German soldier raised his head and said, "I will not betray the Führer or my country!"
"Very good, you are a very loyal and brave person, I will help you."
"Bang!" Xu Rui took out his pistol and shot the German soldier until his brains exploded.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. Including Serov and others, no one thought that Xu Rui would kill prisoners and violate military discipline in front of them. No wonder he treated Sergei so tolerantly and emotionally.
He himself also engaged in killing prisoners.
"Comrade Xu Rui, you can't do this." Serov said.
Xu Rui said: "I have my own ideas."
When Serov heard what Xu Rui said, he couldn't say anything else. After all, Xu Rui was in charge of him, and he had no power to stop Xu Rui. Besides, Xu Rui killed the Germans that everyone hated, so there was nothing to say.
Yes.
Xu Rui played with the smoking pistol in his hand and pressed it against the temple of the second German soldier.
"Tell me all the German secrets you know."
"This..." The German soldier hesitated.
"Snapped!"
A shot to the head caused the second German soldier to fall to the ground.
Just as Xu Rui was about to move the gun, he heard the third German soldier shout: "I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything I know!"
"That's right. Keep them both in good custody. Come with me." Xu Rui pointed at the third German soldier and said.
The German soldier came to Xu Rui tremblingly. When Xu Rui saw that the German soldier was still a second lieutenant, he said, "Your two companions heard what you just said. From now on, you must listen to me.
Otherwise, as long as I put your two companions back, think about it, will the Germans spare you?"
After hearing Xu Rui's words, the German soldier was like a deflated rubber ball. He lowered his head helplessly and said: "Sir, I am willing to tell you everything I know, but I am only a second lieutenant and my exposure to military secrets is limited...
"
"Of course I know this, so I will let you go back."
"Let me go back?" The German soldier was stunned.
"Yes, let you go back, now tell me the number of your unit."
The German soldier answered immediately, and Xu Rui said: "Very good, after you return to the army, you must try your best to find out the secrets of the Germans. Your mission now is to lurk inside the Germans. If necessary, I will send someone there
contact you."
"Don't play tricks with me. The two German soldiers just heard about your surrender to us. If you play tricks, as soon as I put them back, you will die without a burial place. Germany
No one will forgive you."
The German soldier had a black line on his forehead and said, "I understand."
"Well, I will let you go quietly in a while. Please be careful not to expose yourself in front of the Germans."
"Okay." The German soldier murmured.
"What's your name?" Xu Rui asked.
"My name is Curry."
"Okay, Curry, you can go now."
Xu Rui asked someone to take the German soldier away, and Serov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, do you think this German soldier will really serve us? What if he betrays us?"
Xu Rui said: "He has no choice."
Serov was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Really, those two German soldiers who heard him speak are good witnesses. The German soldiers will be able to rely on them no matter what they want. Comrade Xu Rui, your move is really good."
Smart, but a little too cruel." Serov glanced at the two German corpses lying on the ground and said.
Xu Rui said: "I'm just using waste. It's better to use Germans as spies than to let them be prisoners of war. Although they may not be used in the future, it is still a casual move and maybe it can defeat the big enemy."
