USSR 1941

Shulka was right in guessing that the 9th Mechanized Army was divided into divisions and isolated.

Shulka's motorized 131st division was arranged in a row of warehouses for storing supplies...the materials in the warehouses had long been transported to Kyiv for scattered storage.

Now that the war has been fought, everyone knows that these precious things cannot be exposed to the ground, otherwise they will soon be blown up by the enemy like the warehouse of the Brest Fortress.

The warehouse door was closed tightly, and even the windows were nailed up with wooden boards by the guards from the outside. It was dark inside, only a few large fans were left whirring, and there seemed to be people passing through the fan blades. Swirling rays.

In addition, all radio stations and other communication tools owned by the troops were registered and confiscated, so it can be said that there was no chance of contacting the outside world at all.

This created a panic in the warehouse as the soldiers feared that this was some kind of punishment and mistrust of the troops... It was not long after the 79th Division and they were all worried that they would be the next 79th Division.

Among them, the thief asked several times.

"Comrade Sergeant!" The thief asked, "Is it possible that we have spies, so..."

"I think it might be more serious!" said the actor, "If it's just spies, we don't need to be locked up here..."

"Don't think about these useless things!" Shulka said: "Look at what you are holding in your hands. If it is what you think... you should first disarm!"

"Comrade platoon leader is right!" The veteran replied: "The gun is safe in our hands!"

Hearing this, the soldiers were relieved, but Leonyev said again: "Maybe, they will order us to hand over our weapons later!"

The soldiers were immediately frightened again so that you looked at me and I looked at you.

Shulka is angry and funny, which can be said to be a kind of sequelae. The Soviet soldiers obviously did nothing wrong but they have to worry about this and that.

But this seems to be normal, because before that, there were also people who did nothing wrong, and even the Soviet marshals became "traitors" one after another. How could they not be afraid as small soldiers? !

Until the order was passed down from the company commander: "All rest, there is a secret mission!"

As soon as the words fell, Shulka immediately felt that almost everyone in the warehouse breathed a sigh of relief, and then the atmosphere quickly relaxed, although the warehouse was dark and nothing could be seen.

The "secret mission" explained the reason why they are now locked in the warehouse, and at the same time, it also eliminated the panic and doubts of the soldiers... Shulka thinks that the superiors said this on purpose, because they also felt the strength of the troops. disturbed.

Another surprise to Shulka was that the troops did not return to Kyiv by transport ship as Shulka thought... Shulka simply thought that the tanks and cars of the mechanized troops returning from the Kyiv Bridge were too ostentatious, In this way, it is easy to be discovered by German spies, so if you want to hide it, you have to take a boat.

Unexpectedly, Admiral Kirponos used another method: the train.

After thinking about it, Shulka also felt that trains were indeed more suitable for hiding. Cars, tanks, etc. were driven on flatbeds, and after they were fixed, some boxes were piled up next to them or some shelves were built and then covered with canvas... No One can see that the transport is tanks and cars. (Note: The shelf is to hide the shape of cars and tanks)

On the contrary, if it is transported by ship, it is going to the dock for loading and unloading. After entering Kyiv, it still takes a long way to reach the destination, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no leakage.

But with the train... the troops came from here, and then passed the railway bridge all the way to the destination tractor factory.

The workers in the tractor factory had been emptied out by Admiral Kirponos for combat needs, leaving behind a large factory building and warehouse enough for the entire Ninth Army to station. There was also a fence outside the factory building, which was very convenient for management.

More importantly... the tractor factory,

There is always the sound of knocking and knocking inside, and even if there is a "rumbling" motor sound, it will not attract the attention of others. Their first reaction will be that it is a tractor.

As a result, tanks, tractors, etc. were quickly transported into the factory.

At the beginning, the soldiers didn't know where they were, because they were almost all "blindfolded" along the way.

Of course, this is not really "blindfolded", but after the car is fixed on the train, the fighters enter the car.

First of all, the canvas cover on the car is tight, and then a few boxes are tied on the outside and then covered with a layer of canvas. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as airtight.

It was summer at this time. Although the temperature was not high at night when they were transported back, more than 30 people were crowded into a pile in a car and were tightly wrapped. It felt like being suffocated in a basement.

During this period, the soldiers wanted to jump out of the car several times and lift the canvas to get some air. Among them, the Cossack, who was a bit pretentious, even encouraged his men to do so.

"We're going to be suffocated!"

"They must not know what's going on with us!"

"Even if you poke a few holes in the canvas!"

...

"I don't know why, but this is an order from the superior!" Shulka said, "Think about what would happen if the whole secret mission went bankrupt because of one or two people's abnormal behavior! If you don't Believe me, I won't stop you!"

Saying that, Shulka spread his hands towards them.

After Shulka said this, no one dared to move, including the Cossack... Although it was uncomfortable in the carriage, it was nothing compared to being shot.

Facts have proved that Shulka is right, because some people in other vehicles did not resist getting out of the car and opening the canvas... In fact, they did not fully open it, but only opened a corner for ventilation, and nothing was exposed in the dark.

If that's the case, maybe nothing will happen.

However, at this time, the Soviet army will never lack people who make small reports, and the few soldiers who got out of the car to breathe were immediately brought under control.

Shulka didn't know what happened next, only that no one saw the soldiers again.

For this reason, the Cossack had a lingering fear. Although he didn't say anything, his face was full of embarrassment and displeasure... He should have been happy because he saved his life.

The problem is that some people tend not to think about it from this perspective.

The Cossack's actions were actually challenging Shulka's command, or proving that he still had control over his cossacks.

However, this incident made Shulka's prestige even more stable, because the group of Cossacks even complained about their squad leader:

"Look at what you did, we were almost killed by you!"

"It's a good thing I didn't listen to you, comrade monitor!"

...

This is of course what Shulka would like to see.
