    "Artillery Captain Belanov? Now I am ordering you to lead your troops to arrange the six 75mm Krupp cannons as quickly as possible, aim at the southeast direction and fire at the fastest speed. The distance is 1500 meters, the horizontal angle is 30 degrees, and how much is the height?  You gunners need the power to fire quickly, and if you do not obey orders when you are a prisoner, then I can only deprive you of the qualifications to become a coalition prisoner! But if you fight well, you and Belanov will be in the artillery battalion of the Volga Federation!  A place for your brothers!"

    Xue Juru gritted his teeth and stared at the Ukrainian artillery captain in front of him. Whether he agreed or not depended on how much desire he had to live. Xue Juru believed that the military discipline of the three major disciplines and nine points of attention was of course sacred and insurmountable.  , but for the enemy who is stubbornly resisting, no matter whether he has a gun in his hand, he is not a prisoner but an enemy. In order to shed a little less blood for the Allied Powers, it will only make the enemy shed a little more blood.  ",

    "Your Excellency, Captain, my men and I have laid down our weapons. Then we are prisoners of your Allied Forces. We are protected by the Geneva Convention. You cannot force us to turn against you and serve as gunners for you and fire on our own people!" Don't!  Ranoff argued in vain, scratching his neck.

    At this time, 1.5 kilometers away to the southeast, the artillery of the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery was still roaring towards the other side of the Kharkiv River in the west. However, 6 or 7 kilometers away on the other side, there was no return fire from the Japanese artillery position. Obviously  , as time went by, the Japanese artillery unit, which had previously defeated the 12 cannons of the 1st Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery with an artillery brigade of 8 75mm Type 38 field guns, had now lost the opportunity in the second artillery battle.  However, due to the shelling of the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, most of the remaining five guns had been destroyed. The situation was not optimistic for the 18th Japanese Infantry Regiment.  "" look

    "I don't have time to argue with you. These 6 75mm Krupp field guns cannot fire at the position I designated 1.5 kilometers away within 3 minutes. There is no possibility of any Ukrainian prisoners in this place. You can choose whether you live or die."  ! Untie all their ropes!" Xue Juru said fiercely.

    ??Fu Erzhu, the commander of the 2nd Armored Company, and the soldiers behind him looked at each other in shock when they saw this, thinking that the Ukrainian kid hasn't agreed to fire for us yet, how can he help others?  Aren't you afraid they'll run away?  Unexpectedly, Xue Juru's next words were, "Everyone is prepared! Any Ukrainian who dares to escape or resist will be killed! I will bear all the responsibilities!"

    At this time Fu Erzhu and more than 20 Chinese armored company soldiers all understood. The crowd dispersed with a roar and opened the bolts of their guns. Three Browning squad machine guns were also set up. Xue Juru's orderly Xiao Lin brought  Several soldiers stepped forward and used bayonets to pry open the hands of several prisoners tied behind their backs. Soon, one untied two, two untied four, and the hands of more than 50 Ukrainian gunners were freed, but everyone was trembling.  Under the threat of three machine guns and more than 20 semi-automatic M1 Garands, the prisoners in this forest clearing were huddled together in a panic and were at a loss, with no thought of escaping or resisting.

    "Belanov, the lives of you and the more than 50 subordinates behind you depend on whether you are willing to operate the six cannons in your artillery battalion to fire. Anyway, the forest is deep and dense, and you can fire at invisible targets.  You are Ukraine's own artillery, so you cannot be considered a traitor to Ukraine! What's more, you have been abandoned by Milevsky, otherwise he should have brought his troops back to rescue you. How much time has passed?  Already?

    As long as you obey my command, you will have accomplished a meritorious service by opening fire. The Volga Federation and the Bundeswehr welcome your surrender with open arms!  In the future, family members and relatives will be protected by the Allied Forces and the Volga Federation, and they can join the Volga Federation at any time!  "

    Xue Juru's words and the dark gun muzzles around him made the Ukrainian artillery captain, who had led his men to lay down their weapons once before, finally lowered his head. In the Battle of Ufa, the Allied forces wiped out 30 soldiers in seven days and eight nights.  The main force of the Soviet Red Army, and the total strength of the entire Ukrainian national army at this time does not exceed 120,000. The Germans are invaders and occupying forces in any case, and they will have to withdraw sooner or later. Of course, more importantly, Bela  Novov did not intend to let himself and 50 of his men die in the Kharkov forest.

    If the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions are seen dead, since the division commander Milevsky has abandoned the 2nd Artillery Battalion without counterattack and rescue, then he and the soldiers of the 2nd Artillery Battalion do not need to do anything anymore.  Sir, you worked hard!  Better to die than to live. The Chinese captain in front of me really dared to shoot the captives. Looking at the way he untied the ropes of more than 50 of his subordinates, you knew that the other party had no intention of tying up the prisoners again!

    Artillery Captain Belanov, commander of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Ukrainian Artillery, turned around, waved his arms and shouted, "Brothers! The 1st Infantry Division has abandoned us. The battalion commander and the brothers who ran back may have been killed by the division commander.  Milevsky was shot. Now no one cares about our life or death. I, Belanov, want to keep us alive.I have decided to save my brothers' lives by cooperating with the Allied Forces. All sins will be borne by me. Now, those who are willing to obey my command stand on the left, and those who are unwilling stand on the right!  "

    This Belanov has always had prestige in the 2nd Battalion of the Artillery of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. In fact, it was this guy who took the lead in laying down his weapons to save the lives of his brothers when the situation turned bad. After being captured, he commanded his subordinates to resist behind the scenes.  Chinese Captain Fu Erzhu and several of his soldiers were the ones who refused to fire on their own people. At this moment, at the critical moment of life and death, it was he who was persuaded by Xue Juru's words and decided to save his life first.

    It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Most of the Ukrainian gunners themselves come from urban civilians with some degree of education. They are different from the Ukrainian National Army infantry, which mostly come from guerrilla backgrounds. At this moment, the company commander Belanov is so excited.  After ascending to the top and shouting, no one dared to stand on the right to fight to death. Not only that, almost all the prisoners rushed to stand on Belanov's left. Due to lack of space, several guys even pushed each other and almost started fighting.

    "Very good! Listen to my order! You, you guys, No. 1 gun position, you, you guys, No. 2 gun positionthe remaining No. 6 gun position! Move quickly! The target is southeast, 1,500 meters away  , high base angle xx degrees, limited to 2 minutes to start! ¡±
