Yang Mingzhi stood up, looked down at the man, and continued to sigh: "Burimayu, you are such an unfortunate and lucky man! It seems that God really won't let you die!"
Yang Tao took advantage of the situation and asked: "Brother! Since this person is a high official, he is very important to us, right?!"
"Yes! Very important! So he must be alive! This man is the highest-ranking officer we have captured in the past year. This is an important bargaining chip! Not only do we want to keep him alive, we also need to take special care of him!"
Yang Tao nodded as if he understood: "Brother! Don't worry, I will make it clear to everyone that saving this person's life is our important task!"
Trucks and carriages arrived one after another, and the civilian workers sent by Kavitsky with a large number of simple stretchers also got off the train and arrived at the mine.
Most of the injured were unconscious. For safety reasons, only ten people were transported in one truck. The lightly injured were crowded on top of a truck, holding their injured limbs.
The best vehicles were supplied to the wounded Soviet soldiers, and as for the wounded prisoners of war, horse-drawn carriages were left to them.
The vast number of surviving Romanian prisoners of war felt mixed emotions when they saw their baggage carriages appearing here at this moment! Their large appearance showed a simple fact, that is, the Sixth Infantry Division to which they belonged was really defeated!
Otherwise, the Soviet army would not be able to seize these standard carriages in large quantities!
They also saw Soviet nurses in white coats actually rescuing their wounded comrades! Didn't they care that the rescued were not Russians?
Not only the Romanian prisoners of war, but also the German prisoners of war also witnessed this scene.
Especially for German prisoners of war, when their own planes appeared for the first time, people chose to riot in agitation. These Soviets decisively shot many people! As for the recent air raids, most of these prisoners of war believed that it was a simple accidental attack by friendly forces. They would never
Resent friendly troops.
It is a fact that many people died. Since you are a prisoner of war, death will always come suddenly! Besides, this mine is like hell. Those comrades who died are relieved!
The only thing they couldn't understand was when did these Russians become so kind? For the injured, they didn't just re-shoot them, but treated them!
People's hearts are full of flesh. This move by the Soviet army immediately put these Germans into a conflict-maybe these Russians intend to increase the prisoner-of-war policy?
All the wounded prisoners of war were placed on the carriages. The medical team headed by Yang Tao also got on several vacant carriages and began the return journey.
It stands to reason that Yang Mingzhi does not need to stay here anymore. Staying will only make him feel worse!
He insisted on staying because there were still many things to deal with!
The civilian men sent by Kavitsky are currently playing a big role. These men in their forties all belong to the militia. They temporarily left their firearms in the village and picked up shovels one after another.
Their task was like digging a trench, digging several long and narrow pits, and finally burying the bodies in them.
The next work is all handed over to men. Those female soldiers who have done too much can finally rest for a while. In Yang Mingzhi's view, the "dirty" work of handling corpses should be left to men with stronger psychological adaptability.
.
However, the psychological quality of these female soldiers has been extremely tempered. After all, they are veterans who dare to fight with the enemy with bayonets. The corpses piled up in the hills were unearthed by them from the messy scene. They even took them away.
There are a large number of residual limbs. It is impossible to classify whether these limbs belong to the enemy or our own people, so they are simply identified as our own.
Our own corpses were placed in a large pit, and the enemy's corpses were thrown into another large pit. In order to avoid possible plagues, the pit was quickly filled up. Yang Mingzhi estimated that a monument would be set up here in the future.
The landfill work was over, and everyone present looked blank. Yang Mingzhi couldn't arouse any interest. These dead people were still alive a few hours ago, and some enemy bombs ended their lives so easily...
…
"Tonight, countless wives and children are crying for their father."
Yang Mingzhi at least knew that among the large number of corpses carried by Joshua's female soldiers today, some of them were his comrades. The female soldiers in the military camp would also be sobbing profusely tonight.
The injured were transported away, the dead were buried, and relatively detailed casualty statistics were obtained.
Joshua submitted a final statistical data as of before sunset, which showed:
Collect our bodies, two hundred and twenty, and forty wounded.
There were 560 corpses of prisoners of war and 55 wounded.
Preliminary investigation revealed that 71 people on our side were missing and 89 prisoners of war were missing.
In total, our side suffered permanent losses of 291 people, and the prisoners of war side suffered permanent losses of 649 people.
…
This is a shocking statistical result. Yang Mingzhi believes that this is true, and this number will further worsen.
It is not difficult to understand the so-called disappearance. People were blown to pieces by bombs and even vaporized. How to find the bodies again? Here, in this huge mine, rubble is already everywhere, and there must be some bodies buried!
It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and today's mine has not produced even a gram of ore.
Because of this bombing, future ore mining will also be greatly affected!
The ore will be further excavated, and the miners can no longer use prisoners of war. Yang Mingzhi has long ago not wanted the Romanians to mine here anymore, and he never thought that they would leave the mine in this way!
Seeing that the commander was a little depressed, Joshua not only responded to the horrifying statistical report, but also took the opportunity to send a piece of good news - the only anti-aircraft machine gun had made a great contribution.
"Haha! This is really a great blessing among misfortunes! Quickly lead the way, let's go see the anti-aircraft machine gun that made a great contribution!"
Three German fighter planes were actually shot down. Yang Mingzhi never expected that the only eight-gun anti-aircraft machine gun could achieve such a feat.
He hurried to the anti-aircraft machine gun, and when he saw the bloody weapon, he was no longer happy. Several surviving air defense battalion soldiers lined up in front of him, each of them still wearing their blood-stained clothes.
Everyone did not have the joy of shooting down the enemy plane, and some were just numb.
I really should say something at this time.
Yang Mingzhi looked at these heroes, and then glanced at the ground from the corner of his eyes. He saw that the floor around the machine gun was simply covered with bullet casings! What kind of ammunition consumption is this?! If you think about it again, this is eight MG34, the result is just
It makes sense.
The huge amount of bullet consumption is staggering and distressing. Of course Yang Mingzhi would not talk about this in front of these soldiers.
Some words of encouragement must be said to boost morale! He coughed a few times and sighed: "Comrades, today is the second day that the air defense battalion directly under the 63rd Group Army was established! The air defense battalion was established during the battle. In the face of the enemy's provocation, you
He stepped forward and shot down three enemy planes on the second day.
Today, many comrades died! The enemy used brutal bombs to bombard us indiscriminately, but your heroic performance also made the enemy pay the price.
I think the enemy will no longer think that they can fly unscrupulously over our guerrilla republic because you are guarding this blue sky! Everyone in your air defense team will receive medals, including your fallen comrades! I will
Awarded to you personally!"
Yang Mingzhi knew that this was all he could do. Today he came here as soon as the incident happened. In the next few days, everyone including Yevlov, Salinchkin and Lyudbalev will come here.
Check it out. This is a tragedy, which has severely damaged the weapons production of the guerrilla republic and spread the terror of air raids!
Morale will suffer a huge blow, and those who can save the precarious morale are these surviving air defense fighters. They are indeed heroes, and it is necessary to mold them into great heroes!
