In the interrogation room of the division headquarters, the traitor who had been cursed was specially interrogated.
Yelentina can confirm that this person is really a remnant of the Tsar.
"In that case, there is nothing to say. It is too late for people like you to die. You should have died twenty years ago. Now you are sentenced to be shot."
Several prisoners were beaten to death, and the rest were all twisted away and shot simply and brutally.
But the interrogation work had to continue, and it was the Germans' turn to do the rest.
Before the interrogation, Yelentina invited her new subordinates over. Sonya was just a woman and might be embarrassed when facing German prisoners of war, so the Communist Youth League members Belsky and Wilkin temporarily served as the new interrogators, mainly taking notes.
Work.
At this time, Henschel knew that he was a sheep in the tiger's mouth. Before the war, the German propaganda department on the one hand described the Soviet Union as cannibalistic devils and descendants of Nazis. On the other hand, it also described them as an inferior race.
He could be a slave to the Aryans. Such inconsistencies confused Henschel. Just now, he learned that these Soviets brutally executed their traitors. They were so cruel to their own people, and they must be equally bad to prisoners of war.
The Soviet Union refused to recognize the Geneva Convention. Henschel no longer dared to think too much and just wanted to survive.
Facing Yelentina's interrogation, he said: "If you can guarantee my life safety, I can tell you what I know."
It's incredible! Jelentina's sullen face suddenly relaxed. Is this German so cooperative? So Jelentina replied in German: "I can promise you, but if you intend to lie, then wait for you
It’s also death.”
Henschel initially thought that these guys couldn't understand German, but he didn't expect that the female political commissar wearing a blue hat actually understood German. There must be a complicated story here, so out of fear, Henschel said nothing more.
Soon the formal interrogation began.
"Name? Troop number, and your position."
"Friedrich Wilhelm von Henschel. Lieutenant Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Company, 715th Infantry Division, 756th Regiment of the Third Reich."
"The name is quite high-end, a Junker noble?" Yelentina smiled.
This was very important information. She immediately translated it and ordered two scribes to record it.
She looked at this man again. As an officer, he still tried to clean himself up. The military cap had fallen off, and his collar badge showed that he was a member of the National Defense Forces, but there was still a ribbon under the collar.
"Hey, you also won a medal!" The soldier obeyed the order, unbuttoned the tied prisoner, and took out an Iron Cross medal.
Obviously Yelentina knows a lot about the Germans. "Iron Cross Second Class, I have seen the corpses of many of your people, and some guys also have this. You all wear it under your collar."
"Yes, all officers have this medal. But the only one that is truly valuable is the First Class Iron Cross. There is no need for this secondary medal to be worn on the chest. It is just a souvenir."
Yelentina nodded and walked around the prisoner on her leather boots, constantly examining this person.
It seems that women have a magical intuition, especially Dzerzhinsky's apprentices. As members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are very good at observing people's emotions. Therefore, Yelentina can determine that Yang Mingzhi is a good person and a great person.
An internationalist fighter. As for the captured Henschel, he was not an SS soldier, and he did not have any disgusting murderous aura about him.
"Very good, now tell me why you led more than 500 people and continued to march south. What is the purpose? Is it to find us?"
"That's right! I'm looking for you!" Henschel said very simply.
"Haha! It's true. Our guess was absolutely correct."
Henschel didn't know why this woman was suddenly excited, especially since the smile was mostly a mockery. Yelentina put her face in front of Hensel: "You stupid people. In fact, your whereabouts have been discovered by our sentries.
, so your sudden defeat was entirely due to our strategizing. I think your commander is also a fool. He went deep alone and thought that our Soviet Union would not respond."
Henschel gritted his teeth as he listened to her sarcasm.
"In fact, in the past few months, you Germans have fought very hard in the early stage, and we really can't withstand it. If you think that the Soviet Union will fail soon, you are totally wrong. At least our troops are still fighting here.
And you are completely unlike the enemies we have encountered before. Is it because you are all second-rate troops that you cannot go to the front line? In my opinion, you and your people do not need to go to the front line, the militiamen can kill you
defeat."
Yelentina deliberately humiliated this man and saw that this guy clenched his fists, but what was the use? "Then, tell me, who is your commander. You are a junior officer and should not command a battalion.
Could it be that the commander has been killed by us?"
Henschel was very self-aware, and he could easily be beaten up if he didn't cooperate. He hesitated, "I...I am the commander."
"That's you?! You're just a company commander, leading a ragtag group of people. Obviously your command skills are not good at all."
"That's right! My commanding ability is indeed not good!" Henschel couldn't bear it anymore and immediately started squealing, making the chair squeak.
"Shut up!" Yelentina slammed the table, "No matter how loud you shout, it can't change the fact that your troops were completely wiped out."
The prisoner in front of him slowly lowered his head, followed by a wry smile.
"why are you laughing?"
"I'm laughing, I'm so unlucky. I was treated as a spy by my superiors, searching for something in the ice and snow. I didn't expect you to defeat me easily. And my Russian allies, a bunch of rabble, were also easily wiped out by you.
Lose."
Jelentina calmed down and sat back in her chair. She was not quarreling with the prisoners, intelligence was the most important. So she drew a big pie: "Now tell me what you know, and tell me the purpose of your actions.
If it is true, I will not execute you, including protecting your lives until the end of the war."
Of course Henschel would not be as stubborn as the SS and work hard for the cause? That would be too stupid. People live for themselves, and as for others, they can't control them. In order to survive, ironically, Henschel
Scheer chose the same path as the Soviet defectors.
"Yes, I can cooperate with you. As long as you ensure the safety of me and my men, you will not execute us, torture us, leave us in the snow to freeze to death, or deny us food.
Starve to death and thirst to death.”
Jelentina thought for a while and realized that these conditions were not excessive. She knew that at this moment, people's desire for survival would definitely prevail. This Henschel was not a die-hard supporter of Hitler, but just an ordinary Wehrmacht soldier.
It's just that this person is the aggressor after all. "Okay, I promise you, now you will tell everything you know to prove your worth."
At this moment, Henschel could only choose to believe that the promise was honest and hope that the Soviets would not fall out.
Yelentina brought a large paper map, and Henschel gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and simply sold all his bosses.
"It was you who beat up my people and used them as bait in the heavy snow. Now our entire army has been wiped out and we have finally found these Soviet troops. But all my people are dead, so just think that I am dead too!" Henschel made up his mind.
