The factory director reluctantly ordered a halt to production.
However, he muttered: "You don't know how big of a mistake you have made, Captain! This will affect the supply of the entire army. Soldiers throughout Stalingrad are waiting for the bullets and artillery shells we produce!"
You are absolutely wrong, this matter will not be settled like this..."
"Comrade Pozharsky!" Shulka ordered to his guards: "Take your gun and follow Comrade Factory Director. Before I give the order, if he tries to restart production, shoot him on the head and button him."
Pull the trigger, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the guard responded, holding his pistol and following the factory director.
The factory director immediately stopped talking.
"What a great idea!" Mikhailovich said with a smile, "I should have done this a long time ago!"
The group of people waited for more than ten minutes. The amount of water in the drainage pipe decreased significantly, and then the soldiers got in one by one and moved forward along the water pipe.
The drainage pipes used in such large factories are very large, about two meters in diameter, and people walking inside do not feel cramped at all.
If there are any problems, one is that the pipeline layout is complicated, there will be several intersections from time to time, or even two or three intersections at the same time, and there are no street signs... After all, this thing was not built for people to pass.
However, this problem was easily solved. Shulka brought the pipeline map and made a copy of it for each officer.
In fact, Shulka could easily do it for each person, but Shulka did not do so.
The reason is that if there are too many such maps, they will easily fall into the hands of the enemy in future battles.
It would be a big deal if the underground pipeline map fell into the hands of the enemy. This would allow the enemy to calculate the location of the pipeline from the ground and blow up its important nodes to paralyze it.
Therefore, Shulka asked the officers to write down the map as quickly as possible and destroy it before the war.
Another problem is that there is a pungent smell in the pipe, which makes it difficult to breathe smoothly. After a while, I feel a little dizzy.
Major Mikhailovich joked: "We should have asked the factory director just now whether the wastewater they discharge is toxic!"
"Maybe!" Shulka replied: "But does it matter?"
Andrianka laughed: "Oh, yes! God, I might get a terminal disease in a few years, and they told me it was because of exposure to some kind of industrial wastewater!"
The soldiers laughed.
They all understood what this meant. We were in a war now, and they didn't know whether they could survive. Of course, they didn't care whether they were poisoned or polluted.
Unless, this poison is strong enough to kill Shulka and others immediately.
The pipeline is very long, but because it is a straight line, the progress is not slow. The group of people turned left and right according to the map, and it took more than an hour to reach the destination... which is underneath the hospital.
Shulka waved his flashlight towards the back, signaling them to silence and prepare for battle.
The soldiers bent over and made final inspections of their equipment.
Then, Shulka waved his hand, Valery took a submachine gun and led several soldiers up the iron stairs carefully. After reaching the top, he gently pushed open the sewer manhole cover, and a burst of laughter and laughter suddenly came from
There was a sound coming from outside, and Valery was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand.
Valery looked down, waited for a while, then slowly pushed open the manhole cover again, looked out for a while, and then went down the stairs.
"The location is right!" Valery reported in a low voice: "It's the bathroom of the hospital, but there are Germans!"
"How many people are there?" Major Mikhailovich asked.
"I'm not sure!" Valery replied: "There are seven or eight big ones!"
Major Mikhailovich couldn't help but gasped.
If there were only two or three people, it would be possible to kill them without anyone noticing, but seven or eight...
"Can we change the exit?" Andrianka asked.
"No!" Shulka shook his head: "Other exits are outside and can easily be blocked once discovered by the enemy!"
You must know that it is daytime and the exit can only allow one person to go out. The Germans only need two or three people with rifles to easily block the exit. They can even throw grenades into the sewer.
This is also the disadvantage of using sewers to infiltrate enemy positions. It is easier to do at night, but it is very dangerous to do it during the day.
"But we can't get out now either!" Andrianka said.
This is actually not accurate. The Soviet troops could go out because the German troops in the bathroom were taking a bath, which meant that they would put their rifles next to them.
Therefore, as long as a soldier comes out with a submachine gun, he can easily kill them.
The problem is that the sound of gunfire will prematurely expose the Soviet army's situation, and there are only two exits from the bathroom... If the German army reacts quickly enough, it only takes a few people to block these two exits and prevent the Soviet army from deploying its forces.
If this situation develops, the Soviet army will not be able to occupy hospitals and schools, and its own safety will be a problem.
After thinking for a while, Shulka said to Valery and others: "You guys follow me!"
"But Comrade Captain!" Valery asked doubtfully: "How should we get out? I mean..."
It might be possible to get out because the exit is in a blind spot.
The problem is that it is impossible for a group of people to deceive the Germans after they go out, so they will immediately arouse the vigilance of the Germans, followed by chaos, fighting and gunfire.
Then, Valery discovered that Shulka was taking off his clothes...
"Comrade Captain?" Valery asked in confusion, and then he quickly understood, and then ordered the others in surprise: "Take off your clothes!"
"Undress?"
"Yes!" Shulka said: "Let's take a bath!"
After this explanation, others understood and took off their military uniforms without waiting for orders.
If a group of Soviet soldiers wearing military uniforms are very conspicuous, then a group of people wearing nothing will not be suspected, especially in the bathhouse.
"Attention!" Shulka said: "These people taking a bath are likely to be military officers, which means they are still suspicious, so they should take action as soon as possible, and there may be guards outside the bathhouse door!"
"yes!"
"clear!"
…
It makes sense for Shulka to guess so, because it is still wartime and the German army is attacking Mamayev Hill with all its strength.
Those who have time to take a shower at this time are mostly officers with some power.
Shulka guessed right. The ones taking a bath were Colonel Edman and his deputies. Since they had no chance to take a bath all the way to the attack, when they occupied the hospital and received the order to garrison, they couldn't help but "have fun" in the bathhouse.
"Some time."
However, they will soon know what real "pleasure" is.
