Chapter 1154 Luo Jun prisoners of war in the mine (3)
The sulfur mine not only provides a large amount of high-quality sulfur and limestone, but the hot springs dug out are also important by-products.
For a month, workers drained and dried the spring, and some steaming open-air bathhouses were created as a result.
Yang Mingzhi estimated that it might take several hours for Brimayu to recover mentally enough to talk to him. During this period, he had no intention of putting on a gas mask and going down to the mine to inspect and see Brimayo's injuries.
Afterwards, they had no intention of taking the German Henschel out of the mine for interrogation.
It’s rare to find a place with a hot spring, so why not take a dip in it?
In the two hours after lunch, Yang Mingzhi, Yevlov, and Abram, all the hard-working guards, relaxed their muscles and bones comfortably in the warm water and washed them all at once.
Their journey over the past many days.
Soaking in the hot spring was really a happy experience for Yevlov. He shouted carelessly: "Is there anything more comfortable than this? I originally felt like an old machine, soaking in this hot water,
I feel full of energy restored!”
"Of course! Because this is a sulfur hot spring, the water contains a certain amount of sulfur, so the water has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, and it also has the ability to heal the sick and sick!"
"Is there such a good thing?" Yevlov was greatly surprised. "Berekov, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew the hot springs here were so comfortable, I would have taken the time to come here for vacation!"
"Now you know it. This is indeed a good place to relax. I don't think you will protest against the faint stench filling the air, right?"
"Of course!" Yevlov then immersed his entire head in the water, enjoying the ultimate warmth.
There are many springs in sulfur mines. Yang Mingzhi knows that the best sulfur is often found around the springs. As the mines are dug deeper and deeper, more springs will be dug out, and more hot spring pools can be transformed in the future.
. Even now, a large number of soldiers are taking turns to come here for vacation, which is also a special way to strengthen their body. Furthermore, since the local defenders believe that the pressure of defense is very high, then the large Soviet troops are here every two days.
Here to take a rest in the hot springs, so many armed forces arrived in turn, didn't this serve as a good deterrent to the prisoners of war?!
In fact, according to the original plan, the Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment was to be stationed in this area as a whole. The war was unpredictable, and the effect of the initial training was very poor. The two thousand people had to come later. If they all arrived
, the defense pressure on the local garrison will also be drastically reduced.
Yang Mingzhi was probably going to faint if he soaked any longer. Yang Mingzhi's head was a little dazed. He also noticed that his guards were probably intoxicated with enjoyment, and all of them were a little sluggish.
The worst thing was Yevlov. He was not in a coma, but just entered a state similar to drunkenness. In desperation, the deputy commander, who was already weak and hot, had to go to sleep first.
Without such a person, Yang Mingzhi also felt that the remaining things would be much easier to handle.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and he estimated that Brimayo should have recovered and be able to speak.
Under the guidance of the guards, Yang Mingzhi, who felt comfortable, came to the army headquarters of the mine in person. Here, he and the head of the "Armed Oversight Battalion", an old man over sixty-five years old with an exaggerated beard, Sergey
After some conversation, we gained a deeper understanding of the current situation of the mine.
After a while, Brimayu, who had changed his clothes, was also pressed back by the soldiers.
Of course, the arrogance of this Luo Jun officer was gone. He could walk on his own, and his cocked head proved that he had no fighting spirit.
Brimayu's eyes were dull, and he didn't know why he was taken to this small Russian command post.
The person was brought, and Joshua immediately said: "Comrade Commander, this is the person you want. I think his condition has recovered."
The commander of the Russians?! The sluggish Brimayo suddenly raised his head, and his demeanor quickly changed.
"Is it you? I remember you. You are a Mongolian. You are their highest officer. You are also the officer who surrendered to us!"
"Yes! It's me!" Yang Mingzhi stood up and motioned to the guard to release the prisoner's arm.
Brimayo reluctantly stood up straight and saluted a standard Romanian military salute. After all, this man was also a senior officer, so Yang Mingzhi returned the military salute.
Burimayu, who spoke some Russian, felt huge grievances in his heart, and believed that this Mongolian-looking officer was a reasonable person.
For a moment, he couldn't control his emotions and asked questions one after another in front of Yang Mingzhi.
"Why? Why are you treating us like this? We took the initiative to lay down our arms and surrender, and you also called our surrender a very wise move. It was you who promised that we would be treated humanely in accordance with the Geneva Conventions after we returned to your 284th Division military camp.
Us! The most you can do is let us dig the soil and grow potatoes, and keep part of the food we get as our rations. But you want us to dig mines, and you treat us like slaves, like livestock, and tie us up with ropes. You,
You lied to us!"
Yang Mingzhi listened to his nonsense with a straight face until he shut up.
"Are you finished now?"
"No! I haven't finished speaking! Now I can see you Russians clearly, and you, you Mongolian. You are all barbarians, and your women are also barbarians. If I had known earlier, I would have
We should not have surrendered in the first place after suffering such abuse, we would rather die fighting."
"But you don't want to die!" Yang Mingzhi responded calmly, "You were completely surrounded at that time. If you continue to resist, you will only be killed by our army's superior artillery fire. We only lost some shells, but you lost your lives. Listen.
, I heard that you were plotting to escape, that's why you were beaten. If you had cooperated sincerely, you wouldn't have suffered such bad treatment. So, since you are unwilling to sincerely cooperate with our army, then we can't do the same.
Act in compliance with the Geneva Conventions.”
"Bah! We didn't plan to escape at all! These are all your wishful thinking. Your ultimate goal is to exhaust us to death or be slowly suffocated to death by sulfur gas! If this is your goal, then kill us
, don’t continue to torture us!”
Yang Mingzhi never expected that this officer, who was almost a corpse two or three hours ago, would become aggressive after eating some food. He remembered that this officer had a very kind tone when he was first captured.
At this time, Joshua immediately complained: "Comrade Commander! Look at this person's attitude. Do you still believe that they have no conspiracy? These enemies are not convinced by us at all!"
Originally, in Yang Mingzhi's plan, the Romanians had to be treated differently from other prisoners of war, but when things developed like this, he had to intervene. He estimated that if these people were just arranged to be farmers, things would not be like this.
As for who hurt whom first, both Soviet and Romanian parties are justified. The hatred between the Slavic people and the Romanians has existed hundreds of years ago. They have hurt each other for hundreds of years, and now it is just history.
Just a reenactment.
Continuing the quarrel will only force the Soviets present to kill each other, and this must never happen.
Yang Mingzhi signaled: "Abram! Joshua! And you, Sergey, please go out. I have to talk to this Mr. Brimayo."
"Commander, what are you talking about? You want to interview this prisoner of war alone, and you don't even need a guard?" Joshua asked in shock.
Abram immediately followed up: "This is wrong! Commander, we are your guards. Without our protection, we..."
"Haha! I'm not so weak that I can't even deal with a dying man. Don't forget, a year ago I started leading a battalion of brothers from the 284th Division to directly attack the enemy with rocket-propelled grenades I invented.
Defeated the attack of the core tank regiment of the elite 7th Armored Division of the German army. There were also other situations such as when I personally held a submachine gun and led the soldiers to fight head-on with the German SS and the Führer Regiment. Was I ever afraid? I relied on genuine goods.
With his military exploits, he was promoted step by step from a low-level soldier to a general!"
