Yang Mingzhi's mood took a turn for the worse. He originally planned to finish dinner and continue discussing new weapons with everyone at the institute.?
The execution of the prisoners bypassed him and was merely the result of discussions between the division commander and the division staff. The division chief of staff was left alone.
The captives were escorted away. Yang Mingzhi looked at their stumbling backs and couldn't help but feel cold sweat about their future.
"Originally, we promised them that they could survive as long as they cooperated well, but in the end we deceived them. There must be innocent people among those killed," Yang Mingzhi said with shame.
"That's right! I know that most of the dead did not participate in the escape and destruction plans." Yelentina said seriously, "But this does not mean that they are not guilty. The moment these people crossed the border, they should have thought that today might be possible
situation, think about the three thousand people we rescued before, and now they are our regular troops. How did the Germans treat them? We have been merciful enough."
Yang Mingzhi knew exactly what she meant. This eleven-day killing was just to show the chicken to the monkey.
"Okay, I know that treating the enemy kindly is cruel to oneself." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand, "Let's go back to the division headquarters first. Since the matter has been done, there is no point in dwelling on it. Let's discuss the final solution for the prisoners of war.
"
For the Soviets to be merciful to German prisoners of war was simply fanciful.
Yang Mingzhi didn't know the exact number. In that dimension, the Soviet army finally captured millions of Axis prisoners of war during World War II. At least one million of them died abnormally in Soviet prisoner-of-war camps, and some prisoners of war were even kept in prison.
He was imprisoned until the 1950s.
For this war, almost all the male labor force of the Soviet Union was sent to the battlefield. An entire generation died on the battlefield, and a large number of women and elderly people had to be used for logistics. At this time, when the labor force was extremely scarce, the Soviet Union must turn its attention to prisoners of war. These people have become
Cheap "slaves", and they were slaves, millions of German laborers were forced to work to produce everything the Soviet Union needed.
However, Yang Mingzhi thought about it carefully and realized that he should no longer have mercy on these Germans. Although the German army did not invade China during World War II, they trampled across the continent of Europe. Millions of Ukrainians, one million Belarussians, and hundreds of
Thousands of Russians were sent to Germany. Mauser and Krupp companies had a large number of "oriental laborers" who were no different from slaves. German families were even filled with hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian maids.
…
Yang Mingzhi arranged for his wife and Natasha to go back, and sent someone to inform the institute of his new arrangements.
A group of people, including Lyudbalev, arrived at the division headquarters and everyone took their places.
Everyone's expressions were serious. After all, this was the execution of prisoners of war without trial. After the anger gradually subsided, everyone felt unhappy in their hearts.
Yang Mingzhi was the first to say: "First I have to admit a mistake."
"Mistake?" Jelentina asked curiously, "Maybe I should admit my mistake first."
"Let me say it first! I am obviously too merciful in my treatment of these prisoners of war. Their hands are stained with the blood of our people. Even in any country, these people should be executed early. In theory, those German women should also be executed
, no matter what the purpose, they are enemies."
This was something Jelentina had never thought of. She saw a trace of murderous intent in this man's eyes, but she also realized that it was a protest.
"Berekov, do you still insist that the execution of prisoners of war just now was too cruel?"
"No! The prisoner of war is a time bomb! The prisoner of war camp is too close to the village. Fortunately, they did not destroy it when we were out fighting, and now they are pointing the finger at me. Too many things happened today, and I was very lucky to escape.
.But three people were injured trying to protect me!"
"So! How do you think we should deal with it?" Jelentina asked quickly.
Yang Mingzhi raised his right hand and slashed his neck with a knife-like motion, his face looking extremely ferocious. "Kill! Just cutting off the branches of the bush is meaningless, we should uproot it."
This was exactly what he meant by eradicating the roots. Faced with his chills, Yelentina was confused. She quickly stood up and asked: "Berekov, are you kidding? Do you mean to kill them all?"
Wipe them all out! This is indeed very refreshing, and you don’t have to worry about anyone resisting, but if we keep the prisoners of war, we have to let them farm the land for us!"
Yang Mingzhi looked straight at this excited man. On the surface, he had to put on a ferocious face, but on the inside he was happy.
Suddenly his expression became peaceful, and Yang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God! Now I can rest assured that you have no plan to kill them all."
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Yelenjina thought that Yang Mingzhi had recognized the reality, but she did not expect that these words were all tests.
After a pause, she also said: "I must admit that this is a bit too much. Everyone is blinded by anger. Because you are too important to us. If you make a mistake, future battles will be very difficult.
, it is even difficult to win again.”
"Do you all think so?" Yang Mingzhi raised his head and looked at everyone.
"Yes, that's what we decided." Lyudbalev said, "Berekov, according to common sense, the army does not kill prisoners, but the current war is different from the past. Even if I report it to my superiors, they will definitely not be dissatisfied.
After other guerrillas captured prisoners, they never left them alive after receiving the information. You have done a great job in this regard. Since we are all opposed to executing all the prisoners in one go, we must decide on a suitable method."
"There is only one way, let them continue working!" Yang Mingzhi only emphasized this point, which was no different from the previous role of the prisoners.
With this sudden assassination incident, who can guarantee that there will not be a second time? It is Yelentina’s job to find out who is behind the scenes. But to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, move the prisoner of war camp
Getting to a secluded place is the top priority.
"Let them all move away and cultivate in new places. On the one hand, they will grow their own food and produce food for us." Yelentina said and asked: "Berekov, what do you think?
"
"Of course I agree, the division commander and the municipal committee have agreed." Yang Mingzhi spread his hands and continued, "Only where the prisoner of war camp is moved is important. They must move, and I have a suggestion."
"Proposal? Have you already chosen a location?" Yelentina asked.
"Of course! These men are a good labor force. There is a hot spring in the south of us, and the sulfur mine is also dug here. The work of digging sulfur is more dangerous. A prisoner of war dared to assassinate me. A kind-hearted person like me cannot easily
Let them go. Let the prisoners of war do the dangerous work, and we will also supervise them to build a hot spring bath to draw out the hot water so that our soldiers can take a natural hot bath."
Everyone’s eyes sparkled, this decision was very creative! 8
