Chapter 2830 Why Did You Shoot?

The two of them pointed at each other, and the two guns were like fighting, and neither of them was willing to take them away first. In the end, the hot-tempered deputy commander couldn't stand the atmosphere and spoke first.

"I just want to live, and I want to live at all costs. If you want me to die, then I will have no choice."

"So after saying so much, why don't you shoot?"

"You!"

Looking at the old buddy who still looked calm and calm, every bit and every memory of fighting side by side in the past, at this moment, floated in front of the deputy commander like a stream flowing back. His fingers kept exerting force, but he just couldn't pull the trigger, so he had to continue speaking.

"What about you? Why do you have to stop me? If you don't let me go, there will be a way out for so many brothers!"

"Because we are soldiers! Soldiers have honor, responsibility, and backbone! If we lose these, what do we have? Every day we have fought for in the past will completely turn into a meaningless bubble!"

""

The deputy company commander who was still in high spirits just now stopped talking, but it was not because he didn't know how to start, but simply because he was puzzled, surprised, and more helpless about the current situation.

After a moment, when he spoke again, the powerlessness in his words was already visible to the naked eye.

"So what do you think we have now? Are there still the things you just said?"

"Everything you have experienced so far can be traced back to lies, you know that. Is your honor, responsibility, and backbone built on lies? Isn't what has happened so far enough to be a bubble? If this doesn't count, then tell me, what kind of thing can be called a bubble?"

"Give up"

"What?"

The captain's mind is far more determined than the deputy captain imagined. Even if it is distorted and morbid and has seriously deviated from reality, it is undeniable that its existence itself symbolizes indestructibility and standing firm.

"If we give up, then all the struggles we have had in the past will be called a bubble at this moment."

"I know those things are true, I have heard about them a long time ago, and I also believe that Marshal Paulus is still alive, but so what?"

"There is no right or wrong between us and the Russians, no distinction between good and evil, only endless life and death. As long as one side has not destroyed the other, then everything will not stop. And I will never surrender and wait for the Russians to kill me. I will fight to the last moment and use my last strength to destroy the Russians. It's that simple."

""

The expression of the deputy company was full of disbelief in various senses. At this moment, he could hardly believe that what he heard was true, and he could not believe that the familiar face in front of him was the extremely familiar person, the old comrade and good brother of the past.

"Who turned you into this? Was it the Nazis?"

"No one changed me, I changed myself, Mueller. You should also learn to change, and then recognize this simple fact, it's very simple."

""

The deputy company officer, who was speechless at this point, hesitated again and again, but the choice he made in the end was unexpected by everyone present, at least everyone except the company commander, including the military police chain dog.

The deputy company officer quietly put down the gun in his hand, took a step forward with a bleak smile, and used his forehead to hold the muzzle of the gun that the company commander still could not put down.

"If you are braver than me, then come on! Shoot me to death! You know there will be no other choice today, because we can't change each other. Just now was the last attempt, and the result is obvious."

After thinking everything through, the deputy company officer was willing to put down the gun in his hand, but the company commander would not. The cold words just blurted out from his mouth with a chill.

"If you can only choose between loyalty and loyalty, then I'm sorry, old friend, because my choice is not you."

"Then why the hell are you talking nonsense! Shoot! Let me see that you are still a man at the last moment of my life!"

"Company deputy! No!"

"Damn it, Mueller! Are you fucking crazy? You said we should live together!"

""

The loyal subordinates and comrades behind him were shouting and anxious, but the company deputy himself was still staring at the person in front of him with his eyes, without any fear or hesitation, as if the cold thing staring at his forehead was a toy instead of a real thing.

"In this case, I'm sorry, my friend, goodbye."

The cold words were spoken slowly again, and the index finger that had been pulling the trigger suddenly exerted force, and the firing pin fired the bullet in an instant.

Bang——

! ?

! ! !

Stunned by the scene in front of them, the next move of the several military policemen who had just come to their senses was to raise their MP40 submachine guns and point them at the target without hesitation.

But, after all, there were people who were faster than them, and more than one person.

More importantly.

In certain situations, once the first gunshot was fired, it was not up to anyone to decide who fired the second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth gunshots.

"Fire!!!"

Da da da da da --

Tu tu tu tu --

Bang bang bang --

The MP40 and STG44 fired in full auto mode, and the fast-firing MG34 instantly let out a piercing scream like tearing linen. Even the G43 semi-automatic rifle, which had the slowest firing rate among all the weapons present, emptied its magazine with extremely fast continuous firing.

""

The muzzles of the guns were filled with smoke, and the German veterans who had killed their comrades with their own hands looked at the company commander and several military policemen who had fallen in a pool of blood, either lying on their backs or lying on their stomachs. After the adrenaline frenzy gradually subsided, they finally breathed heavily.

"Damn it! How could it turn out like this!?"

"We just killed our own people!? Just like that??"

"Shut up! It's already been done, and there's no choice just now or now. He said it himself! Either you die or he dies!"

Someone had to die after the gunshots, but it wasn't the deputy company commander who thought his life was in vain until the last second.

Looking at the company commander on the ground, bleeding profusely, with bullet holes all over his body and his eyes wide open, his former comrade-in-arms and good brother.

He did not do any more useless work, nor did he cry and wipe his tears. The deputy company commander said nothing, but turned around quietly and walked to the man who had just fired the first shot and knocked the company commander down in the other direction.

"Why did you shoot?"

"Why shoot? Are you stupid, kid?"

The old man who had squatted in the meat grinder of Verdun had a look of disdain on his face, holding the broken Mauser rifle in his hand that had just fired a shot and now became a walking stick, and the sober words of the world came out in such a straightforward way.

"If I don't kill him, you will all die! In 1916, I saw such a fool kill hundreds of people with my own eyes. What? Do I have to see it again? I regret why I didn't have the guts to shoot at that time, but this time I finally don't have to regret it. He should die, not you, and the gang of guys behind you!"
