The surrounding soldiers looked at Major General Val with dull expressions. After listening to what he said, no one spoke, but those officers and soldiers who refused to surrender no longer pointed their guns at Major General Val.
Seeing the row of guns aimed at him lowered, Major General Val couldn't help feeling ecstatic. But on the surface, he tried to pretend that nothing had happened and said: "It seems that everyone understands this truth. There is no point in continuing to fight. What we can do now is to lay down our weapons and surrender to the Russians. So you Only then can we have hope of living.”
Since the German troops were surrounded in a very small area, what happened there could be seen clearly from the Soviet positions. After Sokov learned that Major General Val was lobbying his remaining troops to lay down their weapons and surrender, he said to Merkulov: "Comrade General, send an interpreter with me. I think it is necessary to add fire to the Germans and make them They make the final decision."
"What?" Merkulov was startled by Sokov's words. He asked in a panic: "Comrade Commander, do you plan to personally persuade the Germans to surrender?"
"Yes."
"No, you can't go." Merkulov waved his hands desperately and said to Sokov: "You are the commander of the army group, how can you go to such a dangerous place easily? What if the enemy's sniper I discovered you and shot you coldly, what should I do?"
Sokov was originally excited about trying to persuade the enemy to surrender. After listening to what Merkulov said, he felt that what the other party said was very reasonable. If he appeared in front of the enemy's position, a German sniper would shoot him. , after killing themselves, the person who poses the greatest threat to the German army, even if the entire army is destroyed and hundreds of lives are exchanged for one of their own, they will still make a profit.
However, Sokov has always been the one who prefers to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains. How could he back down just because the Germans have snipers? He told Merkulov: "Comrade General, install a loudspeaker in front of the positions of the two armies. I will shout to the Germans through the loudspeaker and urge them to lay down their weapons and surrender."
Seeing that Sokov was determined to go, Merkulov knew that even if he tried to persuade him, he might not change his mind, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to install a loudspeaker in front of the positions of the two armies, so that Sokov could I was able to hide in a safe place and shout at the Germans.
Besides, the besieged German troops saw Soviet troops on all sides and knew that they had no hope of breaking out. Many people threw away their weapons without bullets and sat on the dirt to wait for the last moment. At this moment, they suddenly saw the Soviet army on the opposite side erected a loudspeaker in front of their position, which aroused their curiosity.
Just as the German soldiers were studying what the Soviet army was doing with the loudspeaker, a voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker. The soldiers listened for a moment and found that the people inside were speaking Russian. They did not understand it at all, and they were not interested in listening anymore. But what they didn't expect was that a moment later, another voice came from the loudspeaker, repeating what he just said in German.
This time, the German officers and soldiers finally understood what the other party was saying: "Soldiers, you have now run out of ammunition and food. No matter whether you hold on or break through, what awaits you in the end is death. I order you to put down your weapons and face you. The Soviet troops surrendered, and I can use my honor to assure you that I will ensure your personal safety so that you can return to Germany after the war and reunite with your long-separated families."
If the first half of the cry to persuade German officers and soldiers to surrender was made so that the ears of the German officers and soldiers could hear the content, the last few sentences allowed them to reunite with their families at home after the war. This made many The officers and soldiers were heart-beating.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were beguiled by the shouts from the opposite side, Captain Ernst, who was holding Major General Wahl hostage, immediately shouted: "Officers and soldiers, don't believe the false propaganda of the Russians. As far as I know, they captured all the officers and soldiers of the SS division. It means shooting them on the spot without giving everyone a chance to live, so please don’t be fooled.”
The officers and soldiers who were already a little shaken in their minds suddenly changed their minds after hearing Captain Ernst's words, thinking that this might be Russian deceptive propaganda.
But no matter how many people don't believe it, there are still one or two who will believe it. A German corporal took advantage of the other party's shouting and said: "Who are you? Can you fulfill your promise?"
After the German corporal's shouting was heard by the translator hiding at the front, he promptly reported it to Sokov who was hiding in a safe area. Upon hearing this, Sokov realized that he was not thinking carefully and did not reveal his identity when shouting, so that the enemies who heard the broadcast did not believe what he said.
Lunev, who was staying next to Sokov, asked: "Comrade Commander, tell me, if your name is announced to the enemy, will those enemies surrender?"
"Comrade Military Commissar, if the person who is trying to persuade you to surrender has an ordinary identity, even if he talks nonsense, I will not believe what he says." Sokov said to Lunev: "But if the person who is trying to persuade you to surrender is someone everyone is familiar with. People, the effect of persuading surrender may be much better."
After Sokov finished speaking, he shouted loudly into the microphone again: "I am Major General Sokov, commander of the Sixth Army. I am now broadcasting to the officers and soldiers of the empire again. You have now ordered to a desperate situation. There is no point in continuing to resist..."
The translator on the side faithfully recorded every word Sokov said and translated it into German for broadcast.
The German officers and soldiers in the encirclement learned through the loudspeaker that the person who persuaded them was actually Sokov, who had disgraced them. They immediately began to talk about it: "Do you think this person who is making the broadcast will be the one we know?" Sokov?”
