Chapter 65 Contradictions in the Prisoner of War Camp When Lin Hua returned to the camp, he found that the rescued comrades were all placed in the original residence of the German guards. But for some reason, Ernst and Vanya were having a heated argument. He hurried forward and asked, "What's the matter, what are you two arguing about?" After both of them were quiet, he looked at Ernst and said, "Corporal Ernst, tell me first, why did you quarrel with Second Lieutenant Vanya?" "Mr. Lieutenant," Ernst said with a sad face, "I suggested to the captain that the captured guards should be detained in a place sheltered from the wind. In such a cold day, let them stay in that unobstructed open space, maybe Someone will freeze to death." "It's their bad luck to freeze to death." As soon as Ernst finished speaking, Vanya said angrily: "Who told them to break into our land, destroy our peaceful life, and slaughter our people, this is their own fault .” "Comrade Second Lieutenant, please don't get excited." Lin Hua put a hand on Vanya's shoulder, trying to calm him down: "Calm down." Unexpectedly, Vanya raised his hand, shook off Lin Hua's hand on his shoulder, and said excitedly: "I can't calm down when I think of the bad things the terrorists have done on our land." "If you can't calm down, you have to calm down." Seeing that Vanya was showing signs of losing control of his emotions, Lin Hua had no choice but to use his own identity to suppress him: "This is my order!" Hearing what Lin Hua said, Vanya finally closed his mouth and stood aside in silence. Lin Hua turned his gaze back to Ernst, and said to him: "Corporal Ernst, there is a reason for Second Lieutenant Vanya's excitement. Look, such a large prisoner-of-war camp even shelters the prisoners from the wind." There is no place where it rains. Do you know how many people freeze to death every day in such cold weather?" He pointed to the edge of the forest where the corpses of prisoners of war were piled up, "I was there just now and saw hundreds of thousands Most of them were frozen to death. The guards of the prisoner-of-war camp should accept the punishment they deserve for the crimes they committed.” When Lin Hua said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, saw Ernst lowered his head speechlessly, then turned to Vanya and said, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, I hate the Japanese invaders as much as you do, but these guards You have put down your weapons, so don’t abuse them too much. You send a squad of soldiers and take them to the forest to cut down trees and build houses for them.”
Before Vanya could express his opinion, Lin Hua told Ernst again: "Corporal Ernst, you go to cooperate with Second Lieutenant Vanya. You tell the guards that if you don't want to be frozen to death at night, you should obey the orders obediently." , go to the forest to cut down trees and build a house. Do you understand?" "Understood, Mr. Lieutenant." Ernst had a surprised expression on his face when he heard Lin Hua's order, and he quickly replied, "I'll tell the guards to go to the forest to cut down trees." Agelina looked at the back of Vanya and Ernst, and said with emotion: "Lieutenant Sokov, you are amazing. The two had such a quarrel just now, but you solved the problem in a few words." Lin Hua followed Agelina into the wooden house and came to the room where the German lieutenant used to live. This is a suite, the inside is the bedroom, and the outside room is used for meeting guests, working and eating. After Lin Hua saw the structure of the house, he couldn't help asking Agelina: "Agelina, where do you usually live?" Adelina pointed to the door and said, "Go out to the left, the third room on the right side of the corridor." Lin Hua originally just asked such a question casually, but Sergey who followed in came in and asked on his own initiative: "Adelina, will there be Germans harassing you?" "It's not good, it's going to be bad." Lin Hua heard Sergeusa asking this question openly, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was going to be bad, but it was too late to stop it. When Lin Hua was thinking about how to remedy it, he saw Agelina, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, unbuttoned the coat she was wearing, and took out an oval grenade from her bosom. Seeing the grenade in Adelina's hand, Lin Hua was shocked. He said in his heart that Adelina was going to detonate the grenade because she was stimulated, so that everyone would die together. But what happened next was not what Lin Hua was worried about. Adelina held the grenade in her hand, and said to Lin Hua and Seriosha: "This grenade was given to me by the leader who sent me to carry out the task. I keep it with me at all times. Even when I sleep, I keep them next to my pillow. If there is really a blind German guy who wants to sneak into my room in the middle of the night and try to destroy my innocence, I don’t mind dying with him.” Adelina's words made Lin Hua and Seriosha respect her. Lin Hua walked over, took the grenade from her palm, handed it to Sergesha, and then said to Adelina: "Adelina, don't worry, you have returned to your relatives now. Here , you are safe, you don’t need to take this thing with you anymore.” Hearing what Lin Hua said, Agelina burst into tears. She threw herself into Lin Hua's arms and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the enemy camp. of. After an unknown amount of time, Adelina's crying finally subsided. Just when Lin Hua seemed to comfort him a few more words, a person rushed in from the door and shouted: "Comrade Company Commander!" He rushed in, just in time to see Lin Hua and Adelina hugging each other, He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'll come back later!" Lin Hua had already seen clearly that the person coming was Corporal Griza, the squad leader of the second row and the first class, and quickly stopped him: "Griza, what's the matter?" Grisa, who was about to evade, stopped when he heard Lin Hua calling him, walked in with his back to Lin Hua, and said, "Comrade company commander, I have something to discuss with you. Since I don't It's convenient, then I'll come back later." "It's nothing inconvenient." Lin Hua let go of Agelina in his arms, and said to Griza, "Corporal, listen to my order and turn around!" Griza turned around slowly, and unexpectedly found that Seryozha was also standing here, only to realize that she had misunderstood Lin Hua and Adelina, so she grinned a little embarrassedly. "Lieutenant Sokov," Adelina wiped away the tears on her face, and said politely, "I won't delay your work, I'll go back to my room first." He stretched out his hand to the opponent, wanting to return his own grenade. Serezha stood still, but turned to Lin Hua for help, wanting to hear his opinion. Lin Hua just confiscated Ajielina's grenade because he was worried that she would lose control of her emotions. If she accidentally detonated the grenade, he might die young. But the situation is different at this moment. By crying loudly, she has vented all the grievances suppressed in her heart. Even if she is given a grenade, there will be no danger. So he nodded to Seryosha and beckoned him to return the grenade to Adelina. After Agelina left, Lin Hua asked Grisa: "Comrade Corporal, you came to me in a hurry, what's the matter?" "That's right, Comrade Company Commander." Griza quickly replied, "We have been tasked with guarding the German prisoners. But I just discovered that some soldiers' emotions are a bit off."
"The soldier's mood is not right?" Griza's words startled Lin Hua, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Come and listen." "There are several soldiers in our class, and their relatives were killed by Japanese invaders." Griza tried to use a calm tone, telling Lin Hua what happened outside: "They want to take revenge, just now Second Lieutenant Vanya led a group of guards to the forest to cut down trees, leaving a few officers. When my soldiers saw these officers, they couldn't control their emotions. They first used words to provoke them, because they couldn't understand , so there was no reaction. They went ahead and started beating the officers and even threatening to shoot them. Fortunately, I found out in time and didn't make things worse." "Corporal Grisa, you did the right thing." Lin Hua clearly remembered that Griesa's mother and sister were killed by a German plane just the day before he was stationed in Khimki. People have deep hatred, but he can still keep calm, which is very rare. He said to Grisa: "Go back and tell the soldiers that we are soldiers, not butchers, and we cannot kill the enemy who has laid down his arms. If they want to avenge their hatred, then kill a few more aggressors on the battlefield Those who want to avenge their relatives!" (end of this chapter)
