USSR 1941

  Chapter 732 Self-inflicted

   Then Trufanov reported the whole incident to his superiors.

  Trufanov reported to the Front Army Headquarters, that is, Yelimenko.

  Ye Liaomenko knew that this was a big deal, but he didn't dare to decide... If it was an ordinary army-level political commissar, Ye Liaomenko could still make a decision. The problem is that this political commissar was sent by the Supreme Command, and it was actually used to monitor the operations of the 51st Army Group. If Yelimenko punished Shevchenko without authorization, he would have to seize power or get rid of the supervision of the Supreme Command , The suspicion of control.

  People like Yeliamenko actually know what to do.

  So, Yeliamenko immediately reported the problem to the Supreme Command.

  The Supreme Command did not dare to neglect, after all, it was a political commissar sent by the Supreme Command to mutiny.

  So while reporting to Stalin, the investigation was launched.

  If the battle was not fierce or the casualties of the Soviet army were not large, Shevchenko might still be able to wash away the charge.

Because the investigation of this matter is actually not invincible, you only need to find the people who stayed with Shevchenko in the 31st Division of the 27th Army in the Leningrad Battle, and they can prove whether Shevchenko Was captured by the Germans.

The problem is that the casualties of the Soviet army in the battle were in patches. Especially in the early days of the war, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were surrounded and captured. Most of the veterans of the 31st Division of the 27th Army were in the He was killed in the ensuing battle, even the commander of the 31st Division who cooperated with Shevchenko was no exception.

  This is actually related to two other reasons:

One is the confusion in the management and organization of the Soviet Army. For example, after the 31st Division broke out, it was divided into several parts. These parts did not return to the original army, but were randomly organized into nearby troops and then became one of them. staff, not even records.

  Under such chaotic management, it is really not easy to find a few people.

On the other hand, it is Shevchenko's own problem... He is a typical Soviet political commissar who let the soldiers charge and beat regardless of the casualties of the officers and soldiers, which caused heavy casualties to his troops. There are not many veterans left to prove his He was not captured, and at the same time, the veteran still hated him, and even if he knew about it, he was unwilling to testify for him.

  From this aspect, it is actually Shevchenko's own fault.

   As a result, the Supreme Command could not investigate anything.

  Another meaning of finding nothing in the investigation is that Shevchenko's charges were confirmed...The Soviet army adhered to the principle of "prefer to kill by mistake and not to miss" when dealing with traitors.

   As a result, Shevchenko was quickly taken to Moscow for trial by people from the Security Bureau.

   Shulka heard the news from Andrian Kana.

In fact, as soon as the German horn yelled, the story spread throughout the army... The vast majority of Soviet officers and soldiers did not agree with Shevchenko's command style. In fact, it can be said to "hate", because on the battlefield It was they who were sacrificed, and Shevchenko only had to move his mouth to give orders.

  So, after the German army shouted, almost no one suspected anything, and they all believed that Shevchenko was a traitor... This is the importance of popularity.

   "I didn't expect the political commissar to be a traitor!" Andrianka said: "He is the political commissar, the political commissar who has been asking us to charge the enemy's guns and never step back at any time!"

   Shulka didn't answer, because he found it a bit awkward to answer anything at this time.

   This is not guilt.

  In fact, Shulka believes that such an officer who ignores the lives of his subordinates deserves to die.

  If anything, Shulka felt that Shevchenko died unjustly. He didn't know what was going on even if he died, and he didn't even know that someone planned to push him down.

   While Shulka was thinking about this, Trufanov walked into the headquarters.

   Shulka knew that Trufanov had something to ask himself, so he led him aside.

   "How did you do it?" Trufanov asked in a low voice, "I mean the information..."

   Shulka knew what Trufanov was asking, and he wanted to know how Shulka passed the information to the Germans.

   If Shulka does not explain this, then Shulka is a traitor, at least in the eyes of Trufanov.

   Shulka did not hide.

   "Perhaps you know that I've been working in the Security Service lately!" Shulka said.

   Trufanov nodded. As the commander of the group army, he certainly knew that Akadievich, the director of the Sixth Directorate of the Security Bureau, was investigating here, and he also knew that Akadievich was a friend of Shulka.

   "The General Security Bureau has a plan recently!" Shulka said: "We will develop some German prisoners into 'spies' and then let them go, just like the Germans did!"

  Although this can be regarded as a secret, it is not a very important secret, and the commander of the army group Trufanov should also know.

  Because...a "spy" like this is actually more promising if he takes "quantity".

  Just like the Germans, they developed a large number of Soviet prisoners of war as spies, and then as long as some of the spies can provide a little useful information, it is a victory, and secondly, it can make the Soviet army panic everywhere and suspect that there are spies around.

   Similarly, the Soviet army's countermeasures against the German army should also be "quantity".

  And once the "quantity" is taken, there will be no issue of confidentiality or non-confidentiality.

  That's why Shulka dared to tell Trufanov.

   Trufanov couldn't help but "Oh", then nodded and said: "Shevchenko has been taken away. If the Supreme Command wants to send another political commissar, it will be ten days later!"

"Yes!"

   Shulka actually likes Trufanov a lot.

  If Trufanov said a few words of sympathy for Shevchenko, it would be the kindness of a woman, and it is unnecessary, because the determination has already been made, there is no turning back, and those words are useless.

  Now Trufanov never mentions these things, and there is still a lot of admiration and gratitude in his eyes, which let Shulka know that Trufanov has taken a firm stand from the very beginning without hesitation.

   "So, the next thing we have to consider is the 'offensive' against the enemy, isn't it?" Trufanov asked.

   "Yes!" Shulka smiled and nodded.

   "My worry is..." Trufanov said: "One day when we need to 'attack', we will also be able to break through the enemy's defenses!"

   Shulka understood what Trufanov meant. It was impossible for the 51st Army to spend all the time in front of the line of defense. After letting the German reinforcements enter the encirclement, the next step must be taken.

   "I haven't figured it out yet..." Shulka replied.

   "Then think about it quickly!" Trufanov interrupted Shulka: "Before that day comes!"
