USSR 1941

  Chapter 731 Have nothing to fear

   Shortly after Trufanov resigned from Shevchenko, the German Front Propaganda Department received an urgent telegram.

  The telegram was quickly delivered to the frontline propagandists by the Propaganda Department as quickly as possible, and then the loudspeaker was turned on.

A German soldier held a telegram and read aloud into the microphone: "Russian soldiers! On behalf of Colonel Edman, I send my greetings to your Comrade Shevchenko, and wish his son and two daughters good health! Edman The colonel remembered that when we met last year, Comrade Shevchenko was still the political commissar of the 31st Division of the 27th Army of the Northwest Front. At that time, he knelt in front of Colonel Edman and begged us to let him go, but now he is the political commissar of the Army Group. I want you to point fingers and drive you to the battlefield to die. Want to know more details? Well then! Your political commissar comrades once disclosed to us the deployment of the 27th Army, which enabled our armored forces to successfully encircle the 27th Army 36th Division and 41st Division, Colonel Edman thank you again..."

  The Soviet soldiers on the front line couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, and even the planned charge was suppressed.

  Because the frontline commanders all agree on one point: If the political commissar is a traitor, should they obey the political commissar's order to attack the enemy?

   Then, the news was quickly reported layer by layer and passed to the group army headquarters.

  The person who answered the phone was a staff officer. After hearing the news, he was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

The staff officer was quite clever. He looked warily at Shevchenko who seemed to be fine (in fact, Shevchenko was really fine), and then walked to Trufanov who was sitting at the desk and whispered a few words .

  Trufanov couldn’t help being taken aback when he heard the news, and asked out of habit, “Are you sure?”

   "Yes, I am sure, Comrade Trufanov!" The staff officer replied: "If necessary, I can go to verify it!"

  Trufanov nodded, motioning for the staff to ask for clarification.

   At this time, Trufanov still knew very little information, because the content of the report was very simple: "The Germans say Shevchenko is a traitor!"

  So Trufanov couldn't think of anything.

   A few minutes later, the staff officer handed Trufanov a more detailed document, which listed the detailed information about Shevchenko that the Germans said.

   Trufanov looked at the information and immediately felt that it was so familiar. On second thought, most of these were what he had told Shulka before, only the paragraph about Shevchenko's arrest was different.

  So, Trufanov knew right away that it was Shulka's fault.

   This shock to Trufanov is no less than the moment when Shevchenko was a traitor just now.

   Immediately there were several questions rolling in Trufanov's mind:

   "How did Shulka get the message to the Germans?

   Is Shulka the traitor?

impossible!

  If he was a traitor, it would be impossible for him to ask himself for information about Shevchenko so blatantly!

   That is to say, Shulka deliberately leaked this information to the Germans in some way!

   Good guy! I thought he just wanted to know about Shevchenko, but I didn't expect to make such a big move!

   This guy is really a bastard, he actually thought of such a way, and he didn't communicate with himself, why does he think I won't expose him!

What should we do now?

   Shevchenko is clearly innocent, I should tell him the truth!

   No, you can't do that!

  Because the result of doing this is that the 51st Army is going to be finished..."

  Suddenly, Trufanov understood why Shulka was so confident: what Trufanov faced was a multiple-choice question, either the 51st Army or Shevchenko.

   And this multiple-choice question should be said to have no suspense, Trufanov will definitely choose the 51st Army.

  Thinking of this, Trufanov nodded, lowered his voice and said to the staff officer: "Let the guards in!"

  The staff turned around knowingly and called a few guards into the headquarters, and explained to them very carefully before the guards came in: "When the time comes, obey Comrade Trufanov's order and must be resolutely carried out, understand?"

  The action of the staff officer is justified, because the power of the political commissar is greater than that of the commander of the army group. If you don't explain it like this, even if these guards are all from Trufanov, they may not dare to attack the political commissar at that time.

  After the guards came in, Trufanov immediately ordered: "Comrade Shevchenko is a traitor, arrest him immediately!"

  Trufanov also had a deep meaning in saying this, and began to point out that Shevchenko was a traitor, so that the guards dared to attack.

   But the guard was still stunned for a moment, and Trufanov urged with an unquestionable order: "Execute the order!"

  The guards reacted at this time, swarmed up and grabbed Shevchenko and lowered his gun.

   "What's going on!" Shevchenko looked at Trufanov angrily while struggling: "Trufanov, are you going to betray?"

   "You are the one who wants to betray!" Trufanov handed the document to the staff officer.

The staff meeting showed the document in front of Shevchenko, and then loudly said to the surroundings: "There is news from the front line, and the Germans announced Shevchenko's information through loudspeakers! Obviously, Shevchenko was in November last year. Has been captured by the Germans and mutinied..."

   "No, this is a rumor!" Shevchenko, who was confused, vaguely understood what was going on at this time: "I have never been captured by the Germans, let alone a mutiny!"

   No one believed Shevchenko's words, because basically all the "spies" who were released by the Germans said that they had never been captured.

"So, why do the Germans know this?" The staff officer asked Shevchenko with the document: "They know your details, and the information you have betrayed to them! I checked, and in Lelingrad In that battle, the 36th Division and the 41st Division suffered heavy losses because they were surrounded by the enemy! Only now do I know that the enemy has already known their deployment of troops! You shameful traitor!"

   As he spoke, the staff officer gave Shevchenko a hard punch.

   Shevchenko is more wronged than Dou E, but in this case, even if he is covered in mouths, he can't tell.

  He could only calm down and say to Trufanov: "Comrade Trufanov, this must be a conspiracy by the enemy. They are trying to divide us. Don't be fooled!"

   "I hope so too, Comrade Shevchenko!" Trufanov said: "But..."

  Trufanov raised his head towards the document and said, "These are not things I can decide. I think I should hand everything over to the Security Bureau!"
