At least Balzen lost Loev in seconds. When Yang Mingzhi thought about it, his displeasure dropped by three points.
He is a commander who is familiar with dialectics, and of course he also has great power. If he is an ordinary grassroots political commissar, after the troops catch the puppet soldiers, they will often shoot them personally.
Today, the Blacksmith Village still holds a group of German and Romanian prisoners of war, and a small group of puppet traitors are working in the sulfur mines. If Loev's battle had not turned out the way it did now, then the newly captured traitors would have definitely become the main force of the miners.
Things have completely changed!
After coming out of the toilet, Yang Mingzhi went directly to Salinchkin's office. He knew that guy must be there.
He knocked on the man's office door and got permission.
Sarinchkin, who was still writing documents, paused his work: "Ah! Is it you, Comrade Berekov? Is there something urgent?"
"Yes! An urgent matter is about prisoners of war."
Yang Mingzhi walked up to Salinchkin and explained straight to the point: "We want to mobilize everyone, so those prisoners of war should also be mobilized." Yang Mingzhi noticed that the person in front of him had frowned slightly, and he continued: "Huo
Mnich currently has 600 puppet army traitors who have not been brought back. Originally, these people were brought back for trial. I think there is no need to bring them back."
"Oh? How do you want to deal with it?"
"Those traitors are almost all Belarusians. Some of them are farmers who were forcibly recruited, some to avoid being persecuted, and some Red Army soldiers who did not want to die in prisoner-of-war camps. These people are still worth saving. After all, our army's strength is beyond
The more the better, as long as any of these people are willing to fight for the Soviet Union, their sins will be absolved."
"What if there are die-hards and cowards among them?"
"Shot!" Yang Mingzhi showed a ferocious expression when he said this word.
Sarinchkin fully understood the general's attitude, and he asked in a seductive manner: "I'm afraid, you don't just want to mobilize the traitors of the great motherland. Anyone who is willing to fight for the Soviet Union, whether it is a German or a Romanian, you
Are they all supportive?”
"Of course! Especially the Romanians, that officer Brimayo knelt down and begged us to sacrifice his life for us. Give them a chance this time."
Salinchkin paused and said, "You can implement these things if you think they are feasible. Why bother asking me?"
"I must report this matter, and I also need your permission. After all, my position is limited!"
Salinchkin was really satisfied after hearing this. He nodded: "I support it. It's just those German prisoners of war, forget it. I support the organization of a Romanian Red Army unit. As for those puppet troops, I will give them
You have some suggestions. You should immediately send a report to the Homnich garrison. All puppet soldiers who are willing to join the Red Army should be incorporated into the army immediately, and the crime of treason will be exempted. If they are unwilling, they will be shot immediately!"
"Okay! I'll take action now!"
This matter was approved by Stalin Commissioner Salinchkin, so Yang Mingzhi really had no worries. Presumably, the person who agreed so happily was also considering the safety of the Guerrilla Republic.
At present, there are 200 Romanian prisoners of war who can live independently, and there are nearly a thousand puppet prisoners on the front line. Even if these people cannot be used as front-line troops and join the logistics force, they can also guarantee the logistics of the Soviet army to a great extent. Besides, these people can not be used as front-line troops and join the logistics force.
If you join the Red Army, you will be exempted from death penalty. How could those puppet soldiers give up this hard-won opportunity to survive?
Yang Mingzhi took action immediately. He first sent an order to Homnich, ordering Vasilyev, the head of the newly established Jewish regiment, to immediately recruit the puppet troops and shoot anyone who did not cooperate.
Immediately afterwards, he sat at the headquarters and directly sent people to notify all Romanians who were logging and report to the group army headquarters.
Since Brimayo personally talked to Yang Mingzhi that time, the living conditions of Romanian prisoners of war have been further improved. They can eat more food, so they work harder to cut trees and dig the ground, and even kick them in their arms without permission when digging potatoes.
For the last few cases, the supervisor only looked at them and said nothing.
There was going to be a war soon, and because he had not received any notice, Brimayu could only continue to lead the people to chop down trees. Not long after they started working, the messenger conveyed the urgent order.
After hearing the emergency assembly order, Brimayu suddenly had a premonition that his hope had finally come true.
The Romanians knew that the German army was going to send a large army to encircle and suppress them, and for a while the prisoners of war were also excited. The indiscriminate bombing by the German army had left these Romanians with hatred for the Germans, and they were all willing to fight on the side of the Soviet army.
"Brothers, the Russians may want to arm us in this battle. Let's leave quickly!"
With a relaxed greeting from Brimayo, many prisoners of war lined up and set off with the messengers with their heads held high. They carried their long-handled axes or against the wall on their shoulders, just like carrying rifles, and each of them walked with a steady and unstoppable gait.
With this high-spirited attitude, the Romanians completed their assembly in front of the Soviet army group headquarters. Seeing their high morale, Yang Mingzhi was also startled.
"Your Excellency, General, the Romanian army has been assembled. Please give your instructions." Brimayo had experience in Romanian army military salutes, and what he said was indeed Russian.
The whole scene was quite inconsistent. Without any nonsense, Yang Mingzhi directly explained the reorganization of all Romanian prisoners of war.
"I know that hundreds of Romanians died due to indiscriminate bombing by the Germans, so you are full of hatred for the Germans and desire revenge. Now, I will fulfill your desire for revenge. Brimayo!"
"arrive."
"I officially authorize you to form a company composed of Romanians, return your weapons to you, and send Soviet political commissars to supervise you. In this battle, your troops will serve as heavy logistics troops. Use this operation to
Prove that you are serious about becoming an anti-fascist army!”
"As you command!"
Brimayu was a little excited. He could only lament how unpredictable people's fate is. More than a month ago, they were sworn enemies of the Soviet army, but now they have become allies of the Soviet army.
They once killed many civilians when they were encircling and suppressing the guerrillas. But now the Soviet army does not pursue these crimes and actually takes the initiative to re-arm everyone.
Brimayu estimated that this matter could not be said to be due to the Soviet army's magnanimity in not pursuing the culprits, but because the Soviet army was also facing huge military pressure. It was indeed a wise move to unite all forces willing to fight against Germany in this difficult situation.
Yang Mingzhi consciously felt that his sincerity was sufficient. He paused and continued: "I now solemnly promise you that as soon as this battle is over, our army will officially accept you as close comrades-in-arms, and your status as prisoners of war will be directly
Cancellation, the future treatment will be the same as that of our regular army."
On June 30, the Romanians were also re-armed, and Brimayo organized 200 people to become the special logistics force of the Soviet army. They threw axes and shovels, and tied up their armed belts, but did not issue firearms and ammunition. Once
The Romanian army uniforms have disappeared, and they are dressed like ordinary Soviet militiamen in civilian clothes. Only by speaking Romanian can they prove that they are not Russians.
In order to get fair treatment and survive, the Romanians chose to go to war with Germany.
In the afternoon of that day, Brimayu led the troops to participate in the transportation of supplies. At noon, they even had toast and canned meat. Their treatment was indeed improved to the same level as Soviet soldiers.
The psychological grudge of the Romanian soldiers was further eliminated. They had no idea that Romania would become a part of the anti-fascist allied forces in a few years. Now, they can only win the trust of the Russians through new battles.
