A prisoner of war wearing only a white shirt raised his hands, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please have mercy on me! I was forced by the Germans!"
Little Warmansky was convinced that his ears were very healthy. What he heard was Russian, and he suddenly became furious.
As a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, Warmansky suppressed the anger in his heart at this moment and asked: "You? Are you Russian?"
"I am a Belarusian. The Germans arrested me to be a policeman, but they actually asked us to fight! I don't want to fight, but..."
"Ah, it turns out you were forced."
"Yes! Yes!" The prisoner of war seemed to see hope and felt as if he was forgiven by this Soviet officer. In order to survive, he reported everything he knew without hesitation.
Little Warmans's basic plan was to directly separate the traitors from the prisoners of war, and then follow the command's orders to punish them on the spot for treason. However, this traitor actually reported the situation of the German army, which forced him to
Change decision.
He ordered his men to simply pull out the prisoner who was talking. As for the others, Warmansky also said in Russian coquettishly: "There are Soviet citizens and German soldiers among you. All Soviet citizens who can understand what I say."
, gather to my right!"
Here, because the word "citizen" was used, all the prisoners of war in the police regiment instantly had the illusion that the Soviet army would not further persecute them. They behaved very obediently and rushed to the right side of the little Warmansky.
.
"Very good! Now you line up and follow the cavalry into the forest." As he said that, Warmansky gave a wink to one of his company commanders and made a few obscure gestures.
As for the remaining fifty or so people, they were of course German prisoners of war. To this group of people, Warmansky was not polite and directly ordered the troops to act in accordance with the orders of the headquarters.
The strong horsemen easily held down the wounded German soldiers. The wounded soldiers who were waiting to be killed closed their eyes and waited for death, but for some reason two people had to hold them down. Could it be that they were afraid of shaking during the shooting?
However, the heartbreaking pain in the heel did make the wounded soldier twist crazily, and the struggle broke out so powerfully that even the two of them couldn't hold it down!
The Soviet soldiers used daggers to cut off the Achilles tendons of all the German prisoners of war. Seeing the enemies struggling wildly, Womansky could not help but feel pain in his heels.
He was actually very happy inside. He was very happy to see the painful struggle of the invaders, and he had to admire the commander's strange methods.
"Haha, Commander, you don't want their lives. Now these wounded German soldiers will not be able to make their way out at all. Even if they are treated and saved, they will only be able to use wheelchairs in their future lives. Comrade Commander, you are really imaginative."
The Soviet army did not intend to take the lives of the wounded German soldiers at all. All the wounded soldiers had their feet disabled. In order to prevent them from losing blood, the feet of each wounded soldier were tied up. They were left on the spot groaning in pain.
According to the Soviet army, the louder the invader groans, the greater the satisfaction of successful revenge.
The cavalry confiscated all the horses in the convoy and found some precious medicines on a carriage painted with a red cross. All weapons were confiscated, including as many as 500 rifles.
, but there are only a pitiful ten machine guns.
The soldier in the police regiment who survived witnessed the Soviet army's method of severing the Achilles tendons of wounded German soldiers.
Several cavalry soldiers also warned the prisoner with added insults: "This is the fate of the invaders. If they cannot climb back to their defense lines, they will become food for wolves or bears at night. So you must gather the information you know from the facts, otherwise you will
This is also the fate of feeding wolves."
This was a hundred times more terrifying than simply being shot. The prisoners of war expressed on the spot that they would atone for their motherland.
Little Warmansky dismounted with great interest, ordered someone to give the prisoner some bread and water, and ordered him to report the situation immediately.
In this way, this prisoner of war told everything he knew about Operation RUHE. Of course, he could not understand the situation of the Waffen SS and the 634th Division. He knew a lot about the situation of the Muller Regiment of the 805th Division, and even the situation of the Muller Regiment and the 805th Division.
How is the position of his police regiment arranged?
The Soviet army did not know many things. Through this prisoner of war's talk, Warmansky learned a major situation - the German army was digging a deep hole.
The prisoners of war reported: "We were ordered to transport the wounded to the defense line of the German 707th Division, and then turn back to the team. We believe that your main force is in the forest near Homnich, and the future combat center will also be there. The police regiment I am in is
First of all, the troops who are going to fight you. Those damn Germans, they are using us as cannon fodder!"
"It's so sad! It's so sad!" Womansky gritted his teeth angrily, "Even so, you still serve the Germans without hesitation."
"This..." the prisoner of war immediately gave his reason, "We were all captured by the German army, and some of us came out of prison camps. If we don't serve the German army, we will die and our families will be killed! You
You must not know what the German army did in the occupied areas. They killed many Red Army family members and captured many men to cut wood or farm for them."
"Oh? If that's the case, why did you become a puppet soldier? If you were just logging and farming, you wouldn't have to die here."
"this……"
"So you are still willing."
"No! No! I was forced, we are all forced."
"Bah, do you think we are fools?"
As he spoke, Balzen raised his saber high, and the prisoners under him fell to their knees and exclaimed: "Don't kill me!"
The saber did not cut down, because it was a signal. The saber shook a few times, and suddenly there was a dense sound of gunfire from the distant woods.
Warmansky Jr. put away the knife and said to the prisoner of war: "You just heard gunshots. What do you think it was?"
At this moment, the prisoner of war was trembling, "I...no...I don't know."
"Haha, let me tell you now. You are all traitors to the great motherland. Since you are wearing the traitor's black uniforms and German helmets, it shows that you are working hard for the German army! You are the accomplices of the invaders, so according to the Soviet Union's
Law, you are all traitors! We don’t have time to organize a court, let alone a judge. We are soldiers, so we will sentence you to treason according to military methods and execute you immediately. Come on!"
"Ah! Don't kill me, I'm still valuable!"
The prisoner made a last-ditch struggle, but was pulled aside by two strong soldiers, who beheaded the traitor with a saber in cavalry fashion.
Little Warmansky looked around. He was very satisfied with today's action: "Brothers, this battle is over. Intelligence shows that a new transport team is coming. Do you want another victory?!"
Everyone burst out laughing, then raised their sabers and shouted for Ula.
"Very good! Next we have to cooperate with the first regiment of the independent regiment to win another beautiful battle."
In fact, in the entire battle, the cavalry battalion lost five people, and those who fell from their horses were mostly killed by their horses. The cavalry battalion achieved a great victory by wiping out a total of 700 enemy and puppet troops at a very small cost, and left a group of soldiers in a group of woods.
As many as four hundred corpses were buried.
This is a tragic war. In the future, more people will die in the vast forests and lakes of southern Belarus...
