Four hundred and twentieth chapters are not allowed to kill prisoners
Here in Vasilyev, the fighting has temporarily stopped. The statistics of battle losses soon became clear. The enemy seemed to have suffered heavy losses, and the Soviet army also paid a heavy price, with a total of more than 200 casualties.
The soldiers carried the dead out of the trenches and lined up more than a hundred corpses.
There are more than 30 female soldiers among them, which is a sad result.
Male soldiers in large units have become accustomed to death, and their indifferent attitude is also difficult for the surviving female soldiers to accept.
Joshua ordered the female soldiers who were still grieving for their dead sisters to mourn. "They have already sacrificed! We have held this position because of their sacrifice. Now we must cheer up and not show our cowardly side to the enemy."
After being shouted at like this, many people wiped away their tears. They stayed in the trenches and continued to aim their guns in the direction of the forest.
Yang Mingzhi immediately issued new orders after receiving the victory information. Vasilyev knew that the deputy division commander's detour soldiers would definitely succeed, and the distant battle would begin again. Maybe the enemy would come out of the forest like a hunter chasing a herd of deer.
Another wave of attacks?
He called Joshua and other battalion commanders over, and they sat in the trench and studied the orders of the deputy division commander.
Everyone has no doubts about the possible battle that will follow, and there is no problem in continuing the battle now.
The problem is about picking up weapons and ammunition. Vasilyev said: "We have a lot of machine guns, and without bullets they will turn into iron rods. The deputy division commander's decision is correct. We need to pick up the enemy's weapons, especially
Bullets for general-purpose machine guns. So who needs to go and how many people should go?”
At this time, Joshua raised her hand without hesitation: "Let me go! My girls need to continue to practice."
"That's fine. I'm worried that women will find it difficult to accept the mutilated corpses that were beaten." Vasilyev was worried that if the death was too bloody, he himself would vomit until he was unconscious.
Joshua still showed great courage: "I will send a company. Although they are women, I think they will become stronger."
"Maybe, then I will also send a company." Vasilyev smiled, and he rejected Ninelli's request to also send troops, because he also wanted to clean up the position and bury the dead as much as possible on the spot, and the wounded as well.
Needs care and emergency treatment.
Joshua personally led a company out of the position. She ordered her girls: "Everyone, stay alert. The enemy may not have left yet. Once fire breaks out in the forest, you will lie down immediately."
The performance of the female soldiers was quite reliable. They formed an inverted triangle formation to counterattack immediately after being attacked.
A company directly under Vasilyev was even bolder. They ran directly on the battlefield, as if they were not worried about the enemy's sneak attack. This company was lightly armed and ran all the way. Most of the soldiers were armed with rifles equipped with four-edged spears and were the first to reach the enemy's corpse.
Dense places.
Joshua was very surprised to find that these male soldiers were kicking some corpses. After careful observation, they found that the corpses were actually alive. After kicking for a while, they were stabbed with spears!
They were killing the enemy's wounded soldiers! "It's really puzzling! Why are you doing this? Just give them a good time!" Joshua felt something was wrong and immediately ordered his female soldiers to advance further.
Many male soldiers were checking the corpses. Once the injured soldiers were found, they began to show brutal methods. This is really unacceptable!
Joshua personally stopped the behavior of the two soldiers, but was rejected. In anger, she also pulled out her pistol, which intimidated the soldiers to stop the torture.
She said: "This man is seriously injured. You can give him a shot to end his pain early, but why are you kicking and beating him like this? I think you are just venting your anger! What's the point of this?"
"These enemies deserve it. I just want them to die in pain!" A soldier said unceremoniously.
"So you choose to kill?! On this battlefield?"
"That's right!" The soldier didn't hesitate. He straightened his back and said with great resentment: "We are Jews! They brutally killed us in the concentration camps. They killed us in Kiev, Slutsk, and Bablu.
Isk, kill us Jews everywhere. This is our chance for revenge and I will not give up this opportunity!"
Joshua understood a little bit after hearing this, but she continued to question: "But what is the difference between you and your enemies by doing this? We are human beings, not devils."
At this time, the company commander of the male soldiers came over. He heard the conversation just now and immediately joined the conversation.
"Humanity, I'm afraid we don't need humanity on the battlefield. All we need is the belief that we can continue fighting to complete the mission." The company commander held a pistol. He had killed several wounded soldiers. He was not a Jew, but he had many subordinates.
.He undoubtedly indulged his Jewish subordinates, and there was nothing wrong with him in letting them vent their anger.
It's just that one of his subordinates actually confronted a battalion commander. This is really undisciplined.
He immediately restrained his soldiers, stood at attention and saluted Joshua, and said: "I am in charge here now, and I agree with you." After that, the man raised his pistol and pointed it at the groaning German army.
A wounded soldier is one shot.
"Look, I've ended it all! Now you're satisfied."
Joshua didn't know how to answer. After all, he was killing people at such a close range, and the guy in front of him could kill with peace of mind. Who can bear it? He and his soldiers have become killing machines!
Joshua nodded, and by not saying anything she acquiesced to the male soldier's actions.
There were still many wounded Germans on the entire battlefield. When the Soviet soldiers found them, they should have fired another shot to end their lives. Joshua's female soldiers could not do this, and even ordered their subordinates: "We can't imitate them."
, we will take back the wounded we find who are not seriously injured. Maybe there is some information from these people."
Therefore, in addition to collecting ammunition and military rations, the female soldiers also took the dog tags from the necks of the enemy's corpses as proof of victory.
A few strong female soldiers found five wounded soldiers with relatively minor injuries. Their limbs were shot. They chose to pretend to be dead in order to survive, but they were still discovered. After refilling the gun, there was no life. These five people were begging in German.
After their hands were tied, they were held up one after another and brought back to the position by Joshua himself.
"Is this woman really a Virgin Mary?!" Vasilyev disagreed with Joshua's actions. He observed with a telescope and thought about what to do.
When Joshua personally brought these five people to Vasilyev with an angry face, he directly asked: "Why don't you kill them? They will die anyway, you should fire even if it is a replacement shot!"
"This is too bloody. My girl dare not shoot at such a close range!" Joshua said without hesitation.
"Then I will help you complete your mission!" With that, Vasilyev pulled out his pistol, instantly loaded the Marklov, and pointed the muzzle at the wounded soldier.
Seeing this, Joshua immediately grabbed the pistol and pointed it at the blue sky along with Vasilyev's hand, recalling the sound of gunshots.
"You can't be so impulsive! You can't be so bloody! They can obviously save you again, but it's too inhumane to shoot him like this!"
Vasilyev looked furious and said viciously: "Pity to the enemy is cruelty to us!"
"But without humanity, we become beasts that only know how to kill!"
"No more animality! We are just a bunch of sheep that are being slaughtered!" Vasilyev simply roared! He knew that he should not be so impulsive towards women, and because he was absolutely opposed to this excessive compassion in his heart, he lost his temper in front of the female soldiers.
He calmed down and threw away the gun. He continued: "There are many Jews among my people, and many regular army soldiers also escaped from the enemy's prisoner-of-war camps. They are killing people everywhere, treating us as trash and treating women as excrement."
Tools of lust. If you knew what those Jewish women who died had gone through, you wouldn't be so kind."
Joshua really didn’t understand. She had heard a lot about the violence against women by the German army, but she had never witnessed it with her own eyes (if she had seen it, she would have died!). But this man spoke from the bottom of his heart, and it was not a big deal to defend these Germans.
Meaning, they are the invaders after all.
But Joshua still feels that it cannot be solved hastily. "Let's all calm down, these five people can be saved. I think if they are willing to cooperate, they should not be killed. There are so many German prisoners in the village, and they serve as our
Labor force! Let’s not act on impulse, think about the future!”
"Okay! What you said does make sense." Vasilyev made some concessions, because if the argument continued, it would hurt the harmony!
Seeing the commotion here, Balzen and Ninelli came over. The two of them immediately acted as mediators to appease the two angry people.
Balzen said directly: "The injuries of these five people are not serious. They are considered prisoners. They should be interrogated and finally escorted back, leaving Yelentina in charge. It will be up to the division headquarters to decide whether to kill them or not."
"Then let the political commissar of the division make the decision. For the sake of being a hero, we will spare their lives." Vasilyev no longer cared about this matter. He also ordered his subordinates not to engage in any more abuse and to seize the time to collect weapons.
Ammunition, when encountering the enemy's wounded soldiers, shoot them to death.
Joshua breathed a sigh of relief. These five people were watched by soldiers who could speak German. Joshua's female soldiers had all received simple medical skills, and they also removed bullets and bandaged the German wounded. (To be continued.) 8
