After seeing off Major Ball, Shulka returned to the headquarters with peace of mind.
Shurka didn't need to worry about the process of sending Major Bauer away. People from the security bureau like Akadiyevich were fully qualified... In fact, it was not a big deal. Akadiyevich ordered a team of guards to take Bauer away.
Major Er escaped.
With this team of guards, they would not have much problem walking out of the Soviet-controlled area, but it would be more troublesome to cross the Soviet-German border.
Therefore, when this team of guards arrived at the border line, they also staged a scene of chasing fugitives, and the opposite side was specifically chosen to be Romanians...Romanian soldiers are relatively timid, and they often dare not even raise their heads after a burst of fire suppression, so Major Ball
Only then can we take advantage of this moment to escape into their defense lines and have time to explain.
Of course, there are also a series of risks, such as Romanian recruits shooting indiscriminately due to nervousness, landmines, etc.
But as long as we are on the battlefield, these risks cannot be avoided, so this plan also depends on luck.
After that, Akadiyevich used the same method to persuade two officers, one succeeded and the other failed.
The one who failed was simply shot by Akadiyevich.
"Why does your persuasion process seem so simple, but it is so difficult for me to follow it!" Akadiyevich asked Shulka with some distress.
Shulka knew what Akadiyevich meant.
Of the two German officers he persuaded, the one who succeeded was obviously greedy for life and afraid of death... A person like this didn't even need to put in effort to persuade, as long as he was given a way out, he would immediately agree.
"This is not surprising at all, Comrade Akadiyevich!" Shulka said: "Because this is a kind of psychological warfare. When we persuade these prisoners, we should not impose conditions rigidly, but should know them
Whatever is on your mind, that is, consider the problem from the other person’s point of view!”
Arkadyevich nodded thoughtfully.
Perhaps what the Soviet intelligence agencies of this era lacked was the ability to consider issues from the other party's perspective. Their persuasion would always involve talking about a lot of metaphysical truths or directly using fists.
After Akadiyevich's affairs came to an end, Shulka was free to return to the regimental headquarters.
"Comrade Trufanov came to see you, Comrade Shulka!" Andrianka reported to Shulka.
"Did he say anything?" Shulka asked casually.
"No, he said he just came to take a look, and then asked you where you were!"
Shulka said "hmm".
Shulka knew why Trufanov came to him.
If there is any flaw in the whole plan, it is Trufanov... Shulka obtained Shevchenko's private information from Trufanov.
Although Trufanov didn't ask anything on the phone, he was not a fool and of course he knew what Shulka was planning.
Shulka believed that Trufanov would not be stupid enough to reveal these things or suspicions to Shevchenko.
Shulka guessed it right. Of course Trufanov would not betray Shulka. Trufanov even thought it was not a big deal... These private information were not important information in the first place. They could even be said to be resumes.
, so there’s no talk of leaks or anything else.
Trufanov just thought that Shulka wanted to know more about or study Shevchenko. That time he went to Shulka just to ask casually, but then he didn't take it seriously and turned his attention to Ling again.
He was caught in the grueling battlefield and the quarrel with Shevchenko.
Trufanov and Shevchenko had already had several quarrels. He originally wanted to give in because he knew that continuing to quarrel with Shevchenko would not lead to any good results.
But early the next morning, when Trufanov knew that Shevchenko was going to send the tank regiment to the battlefield again, he couldn't hold it back.
"The enemy has many 88MM anti-aircraft guns, Comrade Shevchenko!" Trufanov said: "Sending tank troops up will only become the enemy's target!"
"So, do you have a better idea?" Shevchenko asked.
"No, I didn't!" Trufanov replied: "But that doesn't mean we have to go up and die!"
"Death?" Shevchenko raised his head and stared at Trufanov: "I can't believe that these words come from an excellent commander like you, Comrade Trufanov, you haven't even started the battle yet.
Believe that we will be defeated, and interpret the bravery and sacrifice of our soldiers as suicide! If you fight the enemy with your thoughts, how can you command the troops to defeat the enemy..."
"Okay, Comrade Shevchenko!" Trufanov interrupted Shevchenko: "I request to resign as commander of the army group!"
Trufanov could not watch his men being sent to the battlefield pointlessly one after another, turning into piles of flesh and blood or charcoal.
In other words, Trufanov's approach is actually wise.
It would be good if he could win the battle, and as the commander of the group army, he could also take some credit for victory.
But if the battle is lost...Although Trufanov must obey the orders of the political commissar, the responsibility for the defeat will eventually fall on his shoulders.
Not only that, the officers and soldiers of the 51st Group Army will also be angry with Trufanov for sending them to the slaughterhouse because of his poor command... Although the officers and soldiers actually know that this is not Trufanov's responsibility, but after a large number of officers and soldiers suffered casualties
Under such circumstances, how could the soldiers think so much? Moreover, Trufanov was still sitting in the headquarters, the person beside the political commissar who could talk to him, and the commander of the 51st Army.
Now in this battle, Trufanov has no hope of victory at all, so it may be a better choice for him to resign as commander of the army group.
Although this may cause him to lose the trust of his superiors, it can at least maintain the trust of officers and soldiers in him.
Trufanov is very smart. He knows that in peacetime, the trust of his superiors is more important, but in times of war, the trust of his subordinates is more important, because they are the capital that allows him to gain a foothold on the battlefield.
Shevchenko did not expect Trufanov to react like this. After being stunned for a moment, Shevchenko nodded and said, "I hope you know what you are doing, Comrade Trufanov!"
"Yes, I know what I'm doing!"
"Very good!" Shevchenko turned his eyes to the document in his hand and replied while flipping through it: "I will report your question to the Supreme Command. Before the order of the Supreme Command is issued, I hope you will continue to fulfill your duties."
Responsibility!"
"Yes, Comrade Shevchenko!" Trufanov stepped forward and answered.
But what they didn't know was that things never got to that point. (To be continued)
