It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and a Russian soldier has practiced this sentence for nine years. He guarded an arsenal alone for nine years, only to be discovered by a Polish army in 1924.
In 1924, a Polish army was ordered to search for documents lost during World War I, only to stumble upon an arsenal that had long since been abandoned. When some soldiers went in to check, they found that there was a Russian soldier guarding inside.
Here's the thing. The Polish soldiers did not know where they were about to enter, and the arsenal was very dark, so they sent a bold soldier to light a torch and enter. But who knows, he heard an angry cry: Stop, what are you doing?
All the Polish soldiers were stunned. They were in a deserted position, no one had been to this place since the First World War, who would have thought that someone would exist here? When the voice asked him for his identity again, the Polish soldiers looked at each other and thought there was something wrong with it.
The unit had men fluent in Russian, and he quickly translated the sentence to the commander. The chief also wondered why the Russians were in this cave. Although it is true that the Russians were stationed here during the war, now that the war is long over, who is the master of this voice?
It turned out that during the First World War, Germany and Russia fought each other in Poland. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the Russian army had to give up a large amount of land, and the German army pursued it all the way to Brest. There is an arsenal of Russians here. Before the Russians left, they didn't want to make these munitions cheaper than the Germans, so they wanted to blow them up.
But a Belarusian general proposed that the arsenal, which stored a large amount of ammunition and was built in so concealed, might as well be disguised as if it had been blown up and left with only one soldier guarding the arsenal. When they returned one day, the arsenal would be available again, and the Russian Tsar agreed to the general's suggestion.
After the large army left, the Russian soldier faithfully carried out his mission. Although he also complained about why he was so unlucky and left alone here, all he needed to do was find a way to survive. Fortunately, the warehouse has a large number of cans and rusks, which makes him not short of food.
On one occasion, the Russian soldier accidentally knocked over a candle, causing a fire, and many cotton clothes and pants in the warehouse were burned. But even so, he insisted on completing his mission. Living alone for a long time even honed the soldier's will, he learned to catch rats and find water.
When he was discovered by Polish soldiers nine years later, he knew exactly how long he had been in the cave. In such an environment, he still does not forget the duty of a soldier and restrains himself with the requirements of the army.
He performs a "bath day" ritual every day, and if water is scarce, he changes his underwear instead. He changes his underwear four times a month, which is his best way to keep time.
Under the explanation of the Polish soldier, the Russian soldier finally knew that the war was long over, and at this time he only wanted to return to his family quickly. When people lifted him out of the hole, the intense sunlight directly caused him to lose his sight. Although the Polish soldiers took him to the hospital, there was no way to save his eyes.
People feel sorry for this Russian soldier, but he can smile at life calmly. He had been there for nine years and had a strong heart. No one in the world could defeat him, and he longed to return to his hometown as soon as possible.
When the Russian soldier returned home, he met his love, a Russian girl who had written him love letters before the war. He remembered that before the war began, the girl had personally handed him a love letter, and fortunately the girl had been waiting for him, and now they could finally tie the knot.
