"We don't have German military uniforms here," Second Lieutenant Breliska said, "but if necessary, I can call and arrange them immediately. You know, there is a German military supplies warehouse not far from our place.
There is a large amount of military supplies including military uniforms and uniforms."
Upon hearing this, Poledenko quickly asked: "So, the bedding you just said you wanted to transfer came from this military warehouse?"
"Yes, Comrade Major." Breliska nodded and said, "That's true." "Then what are you still waiting for? Why don't you call quickly?" Poledenko urged the other party: "While it's still possible,
The convoy transporting bedding has not returned yet, so let them bring back a batch of new military uniforms to avoid having to make another trip later.
trip."
After Breliska left, Poledenko said to Sokov: "Comrade General, I want to ask, what should we do if someone refuses to take a shower?"
"It's easy to handle." Sokov said casually: "Then send him back to the prisoner of war camp, and select someone to take his place. I believe that there are a considerable number of prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp at this moment who want to leave there." Well.
Sturt came over and reported to Sokov: "Comrade General, your guess is correct. Many prisoners of war are worried that the bath you mentioned is to prepare them to be sent to the gas chamber. No matter what we say, they don't believe it. You see
,
What should we do?" "What else can we do?" Poledenko glared and said angrily: "Go back and tell those people that anyone who doesn't want to take a shower should sign up and we will take them out immediately.
All were sent back to prisoner-of-war camps and sent to other combatants
Prisoners will take their place. They are unwilling to enter the bathroom to take a bath, so naturally there will be people who are willing to enter."
Ernst had a troubled expression on his face, and he cast a pleading look at Sokov, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from here. "I agree with Major Poledenko." Although this idea
It was Sokov who proposed it, but he still echoed Poledenko and said with a serious expression: "If they don't cherish the opportunities we give them, then we
Just replace them. Anyway, there are many prisoners of war who want to join the security detachment." At this time, Bayer and Hosenfeld also came over and said to Sokov: "Comrade General, the prisoners of war are all scrupulous and worried that we will let them go.
When they went to take a shower, they actually wanted to send them all to the gas chamber. After all, this kind of thing had happened before.
It happened all the time in concentration camps.”
"Is it that everyone is unwilling, or is it that a small group of people are unwilling?" When Sokov asked, he deliberately emphasized the word "a small group of people."
"It's the vast majority." Hossenfeld said: "After repeated persuasion, although some prisoners of war agreed to go to the bathroom to take a bath, most of them still had concerns."
"Comrade General," Poledenko said to Sokov, "I think we can keep those prisoners of war who are willing to obey orders, and send the rest back to the prisoner of war camps." In response to Poledenko's proposal, Sokov
He nodded slightly and was about to call Vaselgov to come over and ask him to transport those prisoners who were unwilling to obey orders back to the prisoner of war camp in vehicles. But Hosenfeld rushed over and told Sokov
Pleading: "Comrade General, I beg you, give them another chance, let me persuade them again, persuade them to obey your orders." To be honest, Sokov felt sad when he learned that the prisoners of war were unwilling to obey his own arrangements.
I'm still quite angry. I wish I could send all these ungrateful guys back to the prison camp to continue suffering. Who let them live up to their own responsibilities?
Good intentions. But now that he saw Hosenfeld interceding for these prisoners of war, he couldn't help but feel compassion.
"Okay, then I will go and persuade them myself later." Sokov said to Hosenfeld: "If they continue to refuse to obey my orders, then don't blame me for being rude."
Seeing that Sokov had changed his mind, Poledenko couldn't help but asked curiously: "Comrade General, do you really plan to persuade those prisoners of war in person?" "Yes," Sokov already had an idea in his mind.
, before implementing it, he did not want too many people to know, so he said vaguely: "If these prisoners of war still refuse to obey our orders, then
Just send them all away without leaving a single one."
"So what do we do?"
"Don't do anything for the time being." Sokov said to Poledenko: "We wait a little longer and persuade him when the time is right. This will get twice the result with half the effort." "Wait a little longer?" Poledenko said.
When Kosokov said this, he suddenly became anxious: "Comrade General, I want to remind you that Marshal Zhukov will be coming soon. If he sees a group of ragged people standing here,
The haggard prisoners of war will definitely be furious. Anyway, they are unwilling to obey your orders. I suggest sending them away immediately." "It's okay." Since Sokov has made up his mind, he will not change it easily.
He said lightly: "When Marshal Zhukov comes, I will explain it to him personally. Major Poledenko, if there is anything bad,
I will bear all the consequences." Since Poledenko was ordered to cooperate with Sokov, he must have understood the relationship between Sokov and his superiors in advance, and learned that he was not only close to Marshal Zhukov, but also to General Malinin.
, even the deputy commander
General Sokolovsky also had a certain personal relationship with him. Since he was willing to take all responsibilities, why should he go against him? So he shut his mouth in time and quietly observed the next development of the situation.
.
After making the call, Breliska came back and reported to Sokov: "Comrade General, the convoy transporting supplies will arrive in ten minutes. I wonder where you plan to unload these bedding and clothes?"
Sokov waited for the other party to finish speaking, pointed to the group of prisoners of war in the distance, and ordered: "Comrade Second Lieutenant, when the things arrive, let the convoy drive to the prisoners of war." Although Bryliska was unwise, Sokov wanted to
The reason for doing this, but since the other party gave such an order, he did not have any refutation. After all, the other party was his superior, and a subordinate could only obey and carry out the orders given by his superiors.
Okay, there is no right to question or discuss.
Soon, the convoy transporting bedding and military uniforms arrived.
Under Breliska's guidance, these vehicles parked near the location where the prisoners of war were staying. The appearance of these vehicles caused panic among the prisoners of war. Looking at the trucks covered with tarpaulins, they all turned their backs on them.
At their location, many prisoners of war recalled that when they were in the occupied areas, they had also brought villagers or
The prisoners of war rushed together, then drove several trucks with tarpaulins over and pointed the back of the trucks at the crowd. When the officer gave the order, they opened the tarpaulins behind and exposed the machine guns hidden in the carriages.
Shooting at the crowd behind them. Now these vehicles were parked neatly near the prisoners of war, and there was faint movement coming from the carriages. The prisoners of war who had participated in similar massacres suddenly panicked, and they rushed to the other side of the crowd.
side dodge,
They tried to dodge the bullets fired by the machine guns in the car. But they also did not think about it. If the Soviet army really wanted to massacre them here, it would be useless for them to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, because someone would shoot them one by one.
After Sokov waited for the vehicle to park, he led Vaserigov, Ernst, Hosenfeld and others towards the prisoners of war. Agelina originally wanted to follow and act as a translator, but was asked
Koff raised his hand to stop him: "Ajie
Lina, just stay here, it will be a lot of inconvenience for you to go there."
Hearing what Sokov said, Agelina was full of questions, but it was hard to ask. She could only nod and stay where she was.
Although Poledenko did not receive Sokov's invitation, he saw Sokov personally leading people to the location where the prisoners of war gathered. He wanted to find out how the other party persuaded the prisoners of war, so he quickened his pace and followed him.
After Sokov arrived at the place where the prisoners of war were, he asked Vaserigov to find him a bench, then stood on it and said to the prisoners of war: "German officers and soldiers, now you line up here.
Receive your bedding and military uniforms. Let me explain one thing first, you have stayed in the prisoner of war camp for too long, and there must be lice in your military uniforms and hair. So before you go to take a shower later, everyone must shave their heads.
Take off your body
After washing, you will put on the new military uniforms given to you, and take the bedding to the room we arranged for you to rest. After everyone has finished their personal hygiene, we will provide you with dinner."
After Sokov finished speaking, he got off the bench, called for Ernst to stand up, and repeated what he had just said to all the prisoners of war.
After Ernst finished speaking, Bayer, who was standing behind Sokov, immediately winked at Zolda, the second son in the crowd, and motioned for him to come out first and set an example. Seeing the gaze cast by his father, Zolda
Immediately he understood something, and he walked out on his own initiative, took the bedding and new military uniform handed to him by the soldiers in the carriage, and walked to the designated location, ready to get a haircut and take a shower.
Some prisoners of war who had a good relationship with Zorda saw that Zorda was the first to go get a haircut and take a shower, so they also walked out of the queue to receive their own bedding and military uniforms.
Everyone knows how to do many things. But as long as one person takes the lead, a large number of people will immediately follow suit. "It's okay." Since Sokov has made up his mind, he will not change it easily. He said it lightly.
He said: "When Marshal Zhukov comes, I will explain it to him personally. Major Poledenko, if there is anything wrong
I will bear all the consequences." Since Poledenko was ordered to cooperate with Sokov, he must have understood the relationship between Sokov and his superiors in advance, and learned that he was not only close to Marshal Zhukov, but also to General Malinin.
