War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 391 Achievement of the Battle of Anti-Bone Boy
After struggling to finish the last part of the journey, when Wei Ran drove the car into the large yard by the Kaban Lake in Kazan, it was already past one o'clock at night.

He hastily turned on the heating equipment of the whole house, and then closed all the windows, and also informed Katenka not to keep watching the surveillance cameras in the yard for him.It wasn't until he finished his work that Wei Ran went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then went straight into the bedroom.

After sleeping until noon the next day, Wei Ran, who had slept all night in a bedroom with excessive formaldehyde, looked alive and well.

He sent several suitcases with clothes, various study materials, and the gin that the professor deliberately brought to the place where he should go.Only then did Wei Ran take those precious "historical ammunition" and a bag of cash to the attic, and after passing through an inconspicuous secret door, he sent them all into the mezzanine of the attic. in the safe.

In addition to the ammunition that is basically impossible to use in this era, what he brought back together is the pistol worth a few hundred dollars that Professor Alexei bought from Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Nicholas Before moving to Volgograd, he borrowed a VSS micro-sound sniper rifle and a PSS micro-sound pistol from him.

Carrying these three weapons on his shoulders, Wei Ran walked into the study on the second floor. Wei Ran first put the squeezy pistol together with spare magazines and ammunition into a drawer of a solid wooden table.Then he went into the bedroom and put the silent sniper rifle and matching magazine ammunition into a drawer of a large bedside table.

This was not over yet, when he reached the first floor, he fixed the plastic-cased pistol that Professor Alexei had bought under the table top of the long table with Velcro.

These weapons are not so much used for self-defense as they are used to cover up the fact that he can take out weapons from the metal book to fight back if necessary.

As for why such arrangements were made in this seemingly innocuous house, maybe Wei Ran didn’t realize it himself, except for the fact that the metal book sent him to World War II several times, which kept him subconscious. In addition to the tense strings, more is actually the subtle influence of the learning experience of Hongqi Forest Farm.

After making all the arrangements, Wei Ran drove the emptied off-road vehicle, went out to find a place to fill his stomach, and packed lunch and dinner by the way.

Returning to the large yard next to the lake and turning on the power of the floor heating to the maximum, and then opening the windows of all the rooms for ventilation, finally he took the study materials and the laptop that Katenka had given him, Sitting at the desk on the first floor facing the Kaban Lake outside the window, he calmed down and worked on the graduation thesis that required him to rack his brains.

It is not only Wei Ran who is also busy with her studies, but also her nominally beautiful classmate Maya.His real classmate, Jima, has been working diligently this week to make Gorman, who is in charge of taking him specially, wonder if this guy has secretly taken drugs.

However, it is not a bad thing for Jima, who used to be paddling all the time, to be able to work so hard now, so no matter whether Gorman or Teacher Anna who helped with the information collection course every now and then, they all increased the amount of courses by coincidence, just like the one who tortured Wei Ran. Similarly, he tirelessly tempered the "Prodigal Son Turns Back" quarter horse.

Two days later, Wei Ran, who finally wrote the outline of the thesis, also received another call from Diane.To his surprise, not only did Diane buy a plane ticket to Belarus for herself, she even came to Kazan herself.

The other party paid so much attention to it, so Wei Ran naturally couldn't show off. After carefully checking and replenishing the materials in the metal book, he immediately picked up the suitcase that he had prepared in advance, and drove to the airport in his car.

As soon as they met, Diane enthusiastically extended her hand, "Mr. Victor, thank you again for your willingness to make this trip."

"I'm also surprised that you guys value me so much." Wei Ran said meaningfully while shaking hands with the other party.

Diane shook her head wearily, "Our situation in Russia is far from as good as you think. Simply put, we urgently need a breakthrough to open up the situation."

Hearing this, Wei Ran stopped thinking about continuing to ask, let go of the other party's hand, changed the subject and asked, "Tell me about the well, what's the situation now?"

"The excavation site has been taken over by us, and it is currently in the shutdown stage."

Diane led Wei Ran into the lounge of the airport, then took out a tablet computer from the briefcase and opened it, called up a few photos and handed them over.

Looking at the photo on the screen, Wei Ran raised his brows subconsciously. In the photo, apart from a dry well with a tripod and a lot of soil piled up beside it, there are also pieces of broken and remnant pieces lying on the spread canvas next to it. Dry bones in tattered clothes.

Continue to turn back to the next photo, Wei Ran saw an interesting picture, in this close-up photo, it is obvious that two remaining arm bones with sleeves are being held to death by a rusty wire Bind it, and look at the tightness, it is obvious that when the two arms were bound with iron wire, they were killed, so that after so many years, even though the skin has rotted and only the bones are left, it is still tight. Imprison them.

"Are there any fatal injuries on the bones found at the scene?" Wei Ran asked, looking up at the fat woman Diane sitting beside her.

"Only a few skeletons have bullet holes on their foreheads." Diane paused, and continued, "The rest have not found any fatal injuries for the time being."

Hearing this, Wei Ran continued to look back, and the remaining few photos were basically close-ups of the surroundings of the well.But to Wei Ran's doubts, what can be seen around, except for the large forest, the remaining large area is covered by snow, and even in the photo, this snow-covered area is also specially marked The location is a swamp.

Scrolling further, he finally came across the only man-made structure besides the well in the last photo—a bare stone fireplace chimney.

"About this, is there any record in the historical archives of Belarus?" Wei Ran asked the second question after returning the tablet to the other party.

Hearing this, Diane shook her head, "We didn't find any records related to this place."

"Can you mark the location here on the map?" Wei Ran continued to ask patiently.

"no problem"

While Diane was speaking, she manipulated the tablet to bring up the satellite map. After searching for the location of Minsk, she swipe the screen while zooming in, and then stopped at a location called Liuban, pointing to a forest on the satellite map Edge said, "It's around here."

Taking the tablet computer again, Wei Ran zoomed in on the map to the maximum extent for observation, but finally shook his head in disappointment. Just from this satellite map, he couldn't see any valuable clues at all.

As for the place name Liuban, he had some impressions, but unfortunately, the Liuban in his impression was far from the Liuban marked on the map by Diane.

The Liuban he remembered, in the first half of 1942, the Soviet Union fought a failed offensive campaign here.But what impressed Wei Ran on this place was not the Soviet Red Army who died, disappeared or even was captured in that battle.It was because in that battle, a controversial rebel appeared in the Soviet Red Army-Andrei Andreevich Vlasov.

Speaking of which, this Vlasov was not only a lieutenant general, but also the commander of the 2nd Soviet Assault Army at the time.If the time is pushed back to 1938, this Vlasov even helped Shenkai Logistics Group train the transportation team in Huaxia.

Whether it was going abroad or going abroad for training, in short, Vlasov immediately took over the 99th Infantry Division after completing his business in China and returning to China, and not long after, he was inspected by Marshal Temuxin.

In 41, he successively took over as commander the 37th Army, which participated in the frontal defense operations in Kyiv, and the 20th Army, which served as the vanguard in the battle to defend Moscow.

Even during this period, even Stalin sent a special plane to take him back to Moscow from the battlefield, and personally awarded him the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner.

It stands to reason that such a Red Army soldier with a good resume and strong roots must be a smart man, but perhaps it was also because he was too smart. Not long after he was captured in the Battle of Liuban, Vlaso, who had been promoted to lieutenant general at that time, Commander Husband happily chose to surrender and change his boss.

Thought this was the end?How can someone who can be called a rebel only rebel once?How could it be possible to be satisfied with just rebellion?

After becoming an accomplice of Frances, although Vlasov was imprisoned in Berlin by the Germans who didn't take him seriously, he lived in a small villa with a big beautiful girl in his arms, but he also wanted to make meritorious service .

But this time, the way he intends to do meritorious service in front of the new boss seems to be much safer. Not only has this guy repeatedly published open letters accusing the former boss Stalin and the Bolsheviks he once believed in, he even formed a powerful Russian sister liberation army. Do things with him.

Regardless of whether the anti-bone boy he formed was rebellious or serious, he had to admit that until the Prague uprising in 1945, the army led by Vlasov, which was fattened with mustache military expenses, played a positive role— —Because he's betrayed again!

This time, Vlasov led his younger brothers to control Prague at the cost of only 300 people, and by the way, he also captured thousands of German prisoners.

However, just as he was dreaming and singing, waiting for his ex-boss to forgive him, the Prague resistance organization that had worked with them to retake their homeland sold them off with a single blow.

As for the result, part of the army under his hands surrendered to the Americans, and some were directly captured by the Soviet army.Of course, no matter what the process was, when World War II ended, Vlasov and his younger brothers were basically all sent back to their hometown in the Soviet Union.

These blind boys who used to follow Vlasov all had new jobs after the war. In short, those who should dig potatoes in Siberia should get a basket and shovel, and those who should dig mines should get a pickaxe and a shovel. Miner's lamp, everyone wept with joy and boarded the special train of the Siberian Railway, and worked hard together to build the new post-war Soviet Union.

As for Vlasov himself, on August 1946, 8, a sunny day suitable for hanging, he received a broken rope from his first boss, which just perfectly hung him on the gallows. .

So what about the Liuban marked by Diane?What unknown stories have happened here?
