Poland dug up the soldiers buried alive by Tsarist Russia, alreadyYear.
In the summer of 1924, a man named Polensky visited the Polish army station, and he revealed a shocking news: deep in the mountains of Brest, a major military town in Poland, there was an extremely secret underground munitions warehouse, which stored a large number of ** ammunition and other military supplies.
He revealed that this was left over from the fierce battle between the Russian and German armies during World War I. Polensky was a major in the Russian army at the time, and he also participated in the construction of this tunnel-like warehouse.
He also added that during the retreat, he personally ordered the exit of the warehouse to be blown up, so very few people knew about the secret.
When the commander of the Polish army heard the news, he was overjoyed that this place was not far from their station, and immediately led his soldiers to search for this treasure.
The expedition was also carried out by the Russian Polensky, who came to the outskirts with a detachment of Polish soldiers. Years have passed without any special signs, and the search for this treasure has become very difficult.
The Polish soldiers, disappointed, said to Polensky: "Are you sure? Don't make fun of us. Polensky said resolutely: "I'm sure." ”
He did not give up and continued to search deep and shallow in the col. After several hours of searching, they finally found a pile of rubble in a remote mountain col.
Porensky pointed to the pile of rubble and excitedly said, "The treasure is here." The Polish soldiers, also full of confidence when they heard his words, waved their sapper shovels in their hands and began to dig.
They dug day and night, but never found the tunnel that Polensky was talking about. After digging for five days, they felt somewhat discouraged and began to doubt Polensky's judgment.
At this moment, a Polish soldier exclaimed in surprise: "Look, what is that?" Their eyes were drawn to the neatly stacked stones. Porensky could not hide his excitement, and he exclaimed: "That's right, this is it, these stones are the vaults of the tunnel!" ”
Hearing this, the Polish soldiers were greatly boosted, and immediately waved their fists and tried to dig the tunnel ahead. With amazing energy, it only took a short time to penetrate the right side of the tunnel.
As the stones fell, a large hole appeared in front of their eyes, and a stream of turbid gas gushed out of the tunnel, making people feel a little suffocated. However, at this time, a loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the tunnel.
The sound was terrifying and terrifying, like the roar of a forest beast as it descended and pounced on its prey. Even though it was already daytime, the Polish soldiers were terrified and could not believe that there was a roar in the closed tunnel, let alone what was inside.
They looked at each other, dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next. In this case, a major decided to venture into the tunnel, holding torches aloft.
Seeing this, the soldiers also followed him, clenched their rifles in their hands, and slowly walked forward. As they reached the end of the tunnel, they heard another roar.
This time, the Polish soldiers heard clearly, it was not the voice of a beast or a ghost, but a word of Russian. A soldier named Khobar said: "He speaks in Russian: 'Who, don't move!'"
With a wave of his hand, the major motioned for Hubal to step forward and communicate with the people inside. Hubar shouted inside: "We are Polish soldiers, here on a mission." ”
Then a voice came from inside: "Stay where you are, send someone over and check your passes." Hubar asked, "Pass?" Who issued the pass? ”
On the pass issued by the Quartermaster Department of the 169th Division of the ** Tsarist Army, the names of the former Tsarist Empire and the Tsar's family were written. However, Hubar reminded him: "The tsar is no longer there, and the tsarist family has been executed." ”
Hearing this, the person who made the voice fell silent, and after ten seconds, he spoke again: "I am a soldier of the tsar, and it is my duty to obey orders, and no one can enter without a pass." ”
Before he could finish speaking, he pulled the bolt of the gun. The Polish major realized the possible danger ahead, so he ordered the team to stop and sent Hubar outside the tunnel to ask the ** officer Polensky about the situation.
After listening to Hubar's description, Polensky was taken aback, and his eyes widened like brass bells: "Impossible, nine years have passed, and even some people have become bones, you must be hell." ”
However, Hubar insisted that Polensky go and see it for himself. Porensky dared to walk into the tunnel, and he heard a familiar Russian phrase: "Who?" Hold it! ”
Polensky's heart was nervous, but hearing the familiar Russian language eased his nervousness a little. He took the torch and walked on, and found a sentry box in front of him, and a soldier stood at the entrance of the sentry box.
The soldier, dressed in a Tsarist Russian uniform, recognized at a glance as Major Vasily Polensky. The soldiers at the sentry box immediately stood upright, saluted him, and reported that they were Private Ashalev, and were at the mercy of orders.
Polensky tried to recall Ashalev, but did not remember. He approached Ashalev and saw his true face by the light of the torches. Ashalev had a full beard, gray hair, a pale complexion, and tired eyes.
But his ** guns are shiny and his military uniform is straight. Ashalev obediently lowered his **, was blindfolded, and was led out of the tunnel by Polish soldiers. This is because he has lived in the dark for a long time, and his eyes may not be able to adapt to sudden light stimulation.
Polensky watched Ashalev leave, lost in thought. He tried to recall the identity of Ashalev, but could not remember. And Ashalev remembers the situation vividly.
Ashalev was a private of the 169th Division of the Imperial Army, who was stationed in Brest, the last fortress in Poland, and his comrades were very frightened by the fierce German offensive, but he was overjoyed because he had received a special letter.
Girlfriend Natasha's parents finally agree to their marriage and are ready to hold a wedding for them, much to Ashalev's delight. He took Natasha's letter, read it in the sun during the day, read it under the oil lamp at night, and turned on the flashlight to read it under the covers after the lights went out.
Although they faced the threat of war, Ashalev's heart was filled with hope and happiness.
The superiors were pleased with Ashalev's heart and rejoiced in his happiness. A month earlier, he had been transferred from the Brest Fortress to guard the munitions warehouse, a hidden warehouse in the mountains, which was safer than a fortress.
Ashalev was very satisfied with this, and while loyally guarding the warehouse, he read the letters of his fiancée. One morning, he walked into the tunnel, completed his handover, and obsessively read Natasha's letters.
Little did he know that danger was looming at him. It turned out that with the defeat on the battlefield, the Russian army had to retreat, and before the retreat, the munitions in the warehouse did not have time to be taken away, and the superiors decided to blow it up.
Crates of explosives were piled up at the mouth of the tunnel, about which Ashalev did not know anything. And his superiors, the major, were momentarily negligent and forgot about his existence.
With a loud bang, the mouth of the tunnel was blocked, and Ashalev was immersed in fantasy, but was tossed to the ground by the air wave. He lost consciousness and was forgotten in his life of isolation.
Soon after, Ashalev woke up from a coma with no injuries, only a momentary stun. However, all the kerosene lamps in the cave were extinguished, and the tunnel was completely dark.
Despite this, Ashalev struggled to his feet, found a lighter from the corner of the sentry box and lit the oil lamp in the tunnel. At this point, his first wish was to get out of the tunnel and get out of danger.
However, on the road leading to the mouth of the tunnel, Ashalev found rubble and clods of earth everywhere, at least a few tens of meters away. The accumulation of earth and stone is no less than several hundred tons.
At first, he was full of confidence and kept picking up the earth and rocks with his hands. But after a few days, he was disappointed because there were too many earth and stones, and the pile was very high, and he tried in vain.
Although his fingers were worn out, blood was dripping, and it took hours to dig out a passage, the earth and rocks elsewhere would quickly fill the "vacuum" and instantly re-bury the gap.
He shouted frantically, but no one answered.
Ashalev's situation is in line with the Chinese saying: "It is called the heavens and the earth." After struggling, he had to accept the reality: he was buried in a tunnel, and on his own, there was no hope of getting out.
At first, he had a glimmer of hope that his comrades would save him as soon as possible, but as time went on, he was completely desperate and knew that there was only one way for him: to die silently.
As a seven-foot man, he didn't want to die a long time, he wanted to end it all happily. So, he found a pistol from the ammunition box, opened the safe, and pressed it against his chest.
However, just as he was about to pull the trigger, something fell out of his pocket. With the help of the light, he could see that it was a letter from Natasha.
Ashalev threw away the ** in his hand, picked up the letter, and he read it with confidence. "I can't die, I have to live, and if I die, what will Natasha do? ”
His heart was filled with the courage and determination to survive. However, how to overcome difficulties and persevere to the end is the problem he faces. Although he has lost contact with the outside world, it is not difficult to survive, because this is a munitions warehouse, and in addition to ** ammunition, almost everything necessary for human survival is available.
Biscuits, fried noodles, and a variety of canned foods are available. This munitions warehouse was originally a thousand troops, and Ashalev enjoyed it alone, and he couldn't consume it for ten or eight years.
The only downside is that there is no water in the tunnel. Although the water kept in the guard box was only enough to drink for a day or two, Ashalev knew that water was the source of life, and without water, no amount of food would help.
He searched in the tunnel for a month and finally found some water in the cracks in the stones at the bottom. Although the amount of water was small, it was enough for him to drink. With enough food and water, survival is no longer a problem, but loneliness ensues.
Scientific studies have found that a person in isolation can suffer from depression or become insane after only three months. No matter how strong the psychological quality is, it is difficult to survive a year.
Loneliness is just as unbearable as death is. In addition, prolonged solitude can also lead to loss of verbal skills.
In order to dispel loneliness, Ashalev took out his most powerful ** - Natasha's letter. He reads carefully every day and then recites it skillfully. After reciting, he began to read backwards, then backwards, and even recited them fluently.
This letter from Natasha was like a miracle medicine that helped him get rid of his loneliness and overcome his fears. In order to maintain his language skills, he begins to imagine life with Natasha.
He will play two roles by himself, one is himself and the other is Natasha, expressing love for each other and telling each other about his thoughts. Later, he even imagined that they were married, had children together, exchanged feelings together, and even simulated the scene of their quarrels.
In this way, loneliness becomes fun, and happiness triumphs over fear.
People who spend a long time alone will gradually become sluggish and degenerate in their behavior and functioning once they relax their standard of living. In order to maintain the regularity and self-discipline of life, Ashalev drew up a detailed schedule of work and rest, including the time for drills, standing guard, rest, and eating, which he strictly observed.
With amazing perseverance and self-management skills, he lived in isolation for nine years and created miracles on earth. It can be said that this extraordinary power comes from the love of life and the persistence of self-requirements.
The Polish soldiers present were deeply moved by the story of Ashalev, who were in awe of his tenacity and professionalism, despite the deep historical enmity between Poland and **.
Polensky even shed tears of emotion, saying that he was the one who gave the order to blow up the tunnel, and that it was his dereliction of duty that caused Ashalev to suffer so much difficulty. However, Ashalev smiled and said that now he only wanted to see Natasha, and he let go of everything else.
The Polish** were also impressed by Ashalev's heroic deeds, and they specially arranged for a military vehicle to send him to the station with heroic courtesy. In the respectful eyes of everyone, Ashalev boarded the train home with honor.
