BXBX NOVEL Chapter 558: pistol
It was Major Mikhailevich who gave Shulka the pistol.
When handing the pistol to Shulka, Mikhailevich looked at the red star engraved on the grip and said: "We found this among the pistols we received. It is something different!"
"Different?" Shulka was a little puzzled: "You mean the red star?"
"Yes, of course!" Mikhailvich smiled: "Maybe you didn't know, this was a very high honor ten years ago!"
Hearing this, Shulka stopped asking questions, he was worried that Mikhailvich would wonder why Shulka didn't know some common sense.
Later, Shulka made indirect remarks, knowing that this M1895 Nagant revolver once had a high status in the Soviet Union. It was equipped in large quantities in the army, and it was not completely replaced by the Tokarev pistol until the end of World War II.
As for the revolver with the red star on the grip, it was given to meritorious party members by the Soviet Union in the 1930s. It is a very high honor. It is almost a "shangfang sword" that symbolizes power and has a certain degree of power over life and death. .
It is assumed that this pistol should have been left behind on the battlefield and was reused as a "second-hand" pistol. Unexpectedly, it was distributed to the 82nd Infantry Regiment.
Shulka is more of a toy.
It has little value on the battlefield at this time, because its bullets are 7.62*38MM, and the Tokarev pistols and "Bobosha" submachine guns commonly equipped by the Soviet army now use 7.62mm pistol bullets. *25mm.
This makes it relegated to a police pistol...no one or any unit likes to have an extra ammo in their supplies for a pistol, which has the potential to cause supply confusion on the battlefield and lead to serious consequences.
However, because of its police use and large production volume, this kind of pistol has almost endless bullets in stock.
On the other hand, the situation in Stalingrad at this time needs to save every bullet and every supply.
So, the Ministry of the Interior used it to execute deserters in ports.
Shulka put it in the drawer... The 82nd Infantry Regiment got a basement in the port as a headquarters, and Shulka, as the deputy commander, was lucky to have a desk of his own.
Originally Shulka thought he would never use this pistol, but that was not the case.
Shulka was bored and picked up a newspaper. He wanted to find Valrasha's name in the newspaper, and also read news or other things written by her.
But it turned out to disappoint Shulka, there was nothing on it.
This made Shulka a little worried. Valrasha won't be affected by herself because of the last incident!
But I didn’t promise anything, and Val Lasha didn’t do anything, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong…
Just as he was thinking, Mikhailvich yelled outside the headquarters: "Shuerka, come up!"
"Yes, Comrade Major!" Shulka replied.
Just about to get up, Major Mikhailvich added: "Take that pistol and bullets!"
Shulka couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and then understood what Major Mikhailvich wanted him to do.
Sure enough, when Shulka walked out of the headquarters, he saw Valery and several soldiers escorting a group of deserters. The captain of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also there, yelling at Valery and others.
Major Mikhailvich whispered to Shulka: "Some of them have resistance, you deal with it!"
So Shuerka understood why he, the deputy commander, needed to do things like this. It turned out that he hoped to use Shuerka's reputation and eloquence to persuade the soldiers to let go of their psychological burden.
Frowning helplessly, Shulka walked up and asked, "What happened, Comrade Captain?"
The captain turned his head to look at Shulka, and replied angrily: "You should ask your subordinates, Comrade Captain!"
In fact, there is no need to ask at all, Shulka knew what was going on, but he still walked up to Valeri.
"Comrade Shulka!" Valery leaned towards Shulka, and reported with a look of pleading for help: "We are not used to pointing our guns at our own people!"
The captain couldn't help but interjected: "I told you, they are not my own people, they are deserters, cowards, and traitors to the motherland!"
Then, the captain turned his gaze to Shulka and said in an orderly tone: "Captain, you know what to do now!"
Shuerka gritted his teeth and ordered: "Stand at attention! Get out... Take out your gun!"
Valery and several soldiers drew out their pistols and loaded them according to Shulka's order, and then aimed at the back of the head of the deserter who had been knocked down and kneeling on the ground.
As long as Shulka gives an order, those deserters will immediately splatter blood on the spot.
This may be what Shurka must do, but Shurka has not ordered it for a long time.
The captain looked at Shulka with some dissatisfaction, as if urging him to give the last password.
However, Shulka did not order.
"I want to know something, Comrade Captain!" Shulka said: "Why don't we send these people to the 'punishment camp'?"
"They escaped from the 'punishment camp'!" The captain replied.
Escaping from the "punishment camp" can be said to be unforgivable.
Because the "punishment camp" also has a "punishment camp" system, it cannot give deserters endless opportunities to enter the "punishment camp"... Escape once to enter the "punishment camp", escape twice and then enter.
This also means that escaping will not be punished and there is no need to pay a price, so all the soldiers in the "Punishment Battalion" will try to escape, and the "Punishment Battalion" cannot be maintained.
At this time, a deserter shouted in a hoarse voice: "You bastards, can you be more straightforward? How long do you have to wait?!"
The captain was so angry that he ordered loudly: "Shoot!"
But Valery and the others did not move, they only obeyed Shulka's order.
"I said, shoot!" The captain's tone increased, but no one took him seriously.
The captain was so angry that he drew his pistol and stepped forward, cursing unceremoniously: "They say you are a heroic army and have killed many enemies. I think you are no different from these deserters..."
While talking, he pointed the pistol at the deserter's head from behind.
But was stopped by Shulka.
"What if I am willing to receive them?" Shulka said: "I mean, we need people, we need people to build fortifications, move supplies..."
"If you need it, we will arrange others for you!" The captain replied: "But they can't!"
"They're going to die anyway!" Shulka replied, "Why not? I'll let them die on the battlefield!"
