At this moment, Mueller could only lament his own stupidity. He never expected that the person who wanted to be a prisoner would capture him.
"Brothers! Don't act rashly, don't let go of fire! They have bombs on them!"
Mueller tried his best to comfort his nervous people. He did not want to die with the Russians.
He had his own pistol pressed against his chin, and poor Mueller had to accept the fact that he was snatched away by a deft enemy in an instant, and the situation was instantly reversed.
In this way, Yevgeny, with a ferocious look, hugged Mueller and moved little by little in the trench. His followers stared angrily at the German soldiers who were pressing forward step by step, holding the grenade cord in their hands.
In the trenches, the Soviet and German armies kept moving like this. At this critical moment, if anyone made a mistake, the consequences would be disastrous!
Misha translated what Yevgeny said, that is, negotiating terms with Muller.
Muller was very surprised. He once thought that he would definitely die. Unexpectedly, the Soviet lieutenant colonel made it clear that he did not want to kill him here and that the hijacking would be terminated after all Soviet envoys were out of danger.
Muller accepted the Soviet army's request without hesitation. He said to his subordinates who were pressing closer and closer: "You retreat, don't embarrass these Russians. They will definitely let me go after they leave the trench. If I provoke them,
, I’m done!”
However, the other two officers, Griffin and Hunthausen, did not believe Mueller's words at all.
Griffin shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, keep pressing on!" Even so, he did not take any extraordinary action, but held the pistol nervously and pressed on.
"Griffin! Griffin of the 634th Division, don't harm me! The Russians will kill me!"
"Mueller, where is your military honor? You are a death-phobe!"
"Bah! It's not you who are being coerced by the Russians, so you say such nonsense. My God, you couldn't guard Loyev and fled here with the remaining troops. What qualifications do you have to say to me? It's this Russian officer.
I beat you here, and if you are a man, scold him!"
After some sarcasm, Griffin's mind was in chaos. He glared at Yevgeny and shouted loudly: "Russians! You let our officers go, and we let you leave safely! Don't worry, we won't shoot suddenly!"
"Niemals!" Yevgeny answered neatly.
The two sides absolutely could not believe each other. Yevgeny continued to coerce Mueller and followed the same path as he came in. Griffin knew that the 634th Division he was in was just a guest army. If he angered the Russians, it would lead to the death of the commander of the 805th Division.
If the enemy dies, the 634th Division will probably bear part of the corresponding responsibility. The 634th Division has collapsed, and Griffin doesn't want to add to the humiliation, so he resorted to a trap and led his soldiers to "gift" the Soviet envoys to where they came from.
Yevgeny finally relaxed a little, and he continued to lead Mueller out of the trench.
Misha, on the other hand, had more than fifty bayonets on his face and deliberately displayed two grenades in his waist. He said loudly: "Germans! Let me tell you again, we are not going to capture your officers on this trip, and you don't want to use black guns."
When we reach a sufficient distance, we will let him go. On behalf of my superiors, I would like to give you a final warning that shooting illegally will be severely punished."
On the other hand, Rosakov, who was in an ambush state, had been paying attention to the progress of the situation. When he and several other important officers saw Yevgeny disappearing, they subconsciously thought that something bad was going to happen to him.
Roshakov did not have any illusions in return, and took it for granted that the possibility of Yevgeny's sacrifice was very high.
The Soviet army therefore prepared for a surprise counterattack. Currently, there are still ten Catfish rockets in stock and nearly 400 rounds of five 75mm howitzers.
The so-called surrender operation is in compliance with the orders of the headquarters. So what should we do if the surrender fails? It is probably an attack by the entire army regardless of priority. Although the casualties will be huge, all the offensive forces of the German Army's Operation Ruhe will surely be destroyed today.
The army was annihilated. At least that's what Roshakov thought.
However, Lavrenti proposed another possibility.
"Perhaps Yevgeny will use his soft tongue to make the Germans surrender." After a debate, Lavrenti continued to believe in his comrades. In desperation, Roshakov gave up and immediately reported to the command.
Reporting this matter to the Ministry of Defense may allow the Soviet Army to take positive measures.
The so-called positive measure is to launch the reconnaissance battalion.
Regardless of whether he succeeds in persuading him to surrender, Yevgeny will always have the possibility of leaving the German trenches. What if the Germans do something illegal?
Balzen selected more than a dozen capable men, all of whom are precision shooters with excellent marksmanship, especially Natasha, the ace sniper.
A total of fifteen people quietly moved to a place nearly one kilometer away from the German position. Of course, their actions were noticed by the Germans. Because of Yevgeny's actions in the trenches, all the Germans did not dare to act rashly.
Suddenly, the snipers saw someone crawling out of the trench, and Natasha realized with her keen vision that one of them was Yevgeny!
What expressions should the Soviet soldiers have now? Maybe they are surprised, happy, or worried.
Rosakov continued to hold up the telescope, hoping in his heart that Yevgeny, who suddenly appeared, could escape safely. He also noticed that Yevgeny was obviously holding someone hostage, and actually put a gun to the person's head.
"Gun? Where did you get the gun? You are an amazing person."
The situation became very serious. The snipers headed by Natasha also saw that the German soldiers who had exceeded their mission actually stood on the ground. Aren't they afraid of death?
The ten German soldiers stood on the ground with guns in hand, watching Yevgeny drift away, without making any further moves.
Even Yevgeny, who was retreating, didn't know that his own sniper had already moved over and was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. He pulled Mueller and continued to retreat, and gradually there were corpses around his feet. At this moment, it became meaningless to continue to expose the grenade, and Misha turned around.
He lowered his waist and picked up a rifle and continued to retreat.
Gradually, the German positions became farther and farther away. Yevgeny had excellent combat experience. The distance was already 500 meters. At such a long distance, the probability of being hit by a bullet was low.
"That's it!" Yevgeny finally let go and tripped Mueller hard again. Then, he pointed his gun at Mueller who was sitting on the ground, as if he was going to shoot him.
In just ten minutes, Mueller felt that he had been greatly humiliated. He sat on the ground and shouted in German: "Kill me! I won't go back."
"No! We keep our promise, you can go back." As he said that, Misha swung the butt of his gun and urged him to leave.
Muller was unarmed at this moment. If the Soviet army wanted to kill him, all they had to do was pull the trigger. He finally stood up, his eyes full of grief and anger, and started to stagger back, then turned into a run.
.
Seeing this, Yevgeny shouted: "Brothers, bow down and leave quickly."
All the Soviet envoys began to run wildly. Even the soldier holding the white flag quickly untied the white linen cloth and ran as fast as he could. Everyone was afraid that the Germans would take the opportunity to shoot black guns. After all, the MG34 has an exaggerated rate of fire. It does not matter if it is far away, it can be shot in an instant.
A large number of bullets can hit people just by chance, and if they are hit, they will die!
Yevgeny sprinted across the battlefield at a sprint speed of 100 meters. He clutched the Ruger pistol he had just captured, and he couldn't help but feel frightened by his crazy actions just now.
Suddenly, there was a gunshot in my ear!
"Get down!" Yevgeny roared, threw himself to the ground, and actually chewed the mud with his mouth.
