With just this hint, Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized.
"Oops! Oops! I really forgot! We seized at least 5,000 cylinders, and a complete set of gas masks must also have 5,000 pieces! I always thought this thing was useless, I never expected it!"
Joshua's expression returned to calm, and a new idea suddenly occurred to her. She stretched out her right hand and pointed at several large wooden houses in the north of the mine: "Sir, look here, those are our comrade supervisors, and the assistant supervisors."
The rest room for female soldiers. Please be mentally prepared, sir, because our men and women are all wearing gas masks at work, which may make you feel a little uncomfortable."
The scene was really embarrassing. Yang Mingzhi curled his lips and said: "Where can I feel uncomfortable? During World War I, soldiers from various countries had to guard against the enemy's poison gas bombs, so gas masks and matching respiratory systems were necessary for soldiers.
Prepared. The current German army also inherits this habit, but our Soviet army has not activated its poison arsenal."
The Soviet army has always maintained a lot of chemical weapons, such as chlorine gas, which is very easy to prepare.
During the Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union and Germany had a lot of close cooperation, including the military gas plants Germany built for the Soviet Union, especially the three large chemical weapons plants built for the Soviet Union in Ryazan and Kazan. Kazan
The mountain is located east of Moscow, and the war did not reach here at all, so it was easy for the Soviet Union to mass-produce chemical weapons such as chlorine.
The German army only used chemical weapons sporadically and ended them quickly. After all, the war did not turn into a chemical weapons war like World War I, where magnificent gases that covered the sky and passed through took away all animal and plant life.
Hitler asked to quit smoking, but he still ordered a steady stream of cigarettes to be delivered to the soldiers because they could calm them down.
Hitler was almost blinded by chlorine gas in World War I, so he ordered the German army not to use chemical weapons?
Yang Mingzhi tends to believe that these are the main warring countries, and they all know the strength of each other's chemical weapons arsenal. Even in the current total war mode, whoever uses chemical weapons extensively will also encounter crazy retaliation from the other party. By then, heavy
Chlorine gas will not be floating in the field positions, but cities will be plunged into a green sea of death!
Therefore, the German army knew that the war was like this, and the possibility of the Soviet Union using chemical weapons could be ignored, but the German Wehrmacht was still fully equipped with this! They carried a big iron bucket, threw away the mask, and placed more ammunition, or more
Military rations, aren’t they beautiful?
Perhaps this stems from the rigidity and persistence in German character, or perhaps from Hitler's own persistence.
The faint smell of rotten eggs that permeates the air is a small dose of hydrogen sulfide gas. Prisoners of war will be harmed if they work in such an environment for a long time...
Yang Mingzhi thought about it again and realized another idea that Yelentina had while venting her anger. That is, if these prisoners of war breathe small doses of toxic gases for a long time, their bodies will become weak, and weak people will be unable to resist.
…
Joshua noticed that his commander seemed to be thinking a little, was it about his female soldiers? They were on duty in the mines and always wore gas masks.
Joshua knew very little about chemical weapons. It seemed that the deputy division commander obviously knew a lot, so there was no need for him to say more.
She urged: "Sir! Let's go to the resting place, where we all put on masks, and then go down to the inside of the mine."
"Okay! Let's go now! I don't like the smell of these rotten eggs."
Yang Mingzhi just continued to move forward with his hands behind his back. He continued to look sideways at the prisoners of war in the distance. Judging from their appearance, they would definitely not cause any more troubles. They could only act like slaves in ancient times, fighting in the poisonous gas.
Mine excavation.
He knew that these Belarusians really hated the Germans. The order prohibited them from not giving them food to prevent them from starving to death, and also prohibited humiliating beatings. He also ordered them to be sent to the mines to dig sulfur, which he did owe.
consider.
To deal with the abuse of these invaders, the Belarusians decisively used the power of nature. The strength of these prisoners of war was greatly reduced by the torment of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide gas, and the weak ones died of illness directly. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but feel a trace of hypocrisy, not only
Not only Yelentina, but also himself.
Kindness to prisoners of war was cruelty to his own people. Yang Mingzhi was so cruel that he simply didn't care about anything.
These prisoners of war loved them to death. The German army invaded other countries and massacred the people of other countries. They themselves had to be mentally prepared to be counterattacked at all costs.
Yang Mingzhi is more concerned about his female soldiers. There is really no way to make them soldiers. It is best not to go to the battlefield. Even supervising prisoners of war and miners here is dangerous. So, what if they put on gas masks?
What about?
Regarding why the prisoners of war did not wear gas masks, Qiao Shuya saw that the commander was interested, so she talked about it while walking.
Everything is basically in line with Yang Mingzhi's speculation. He sighed meaningfully: "In the end, it is Yelentina's revenge, and it is also the revenge of the majority of Belarusians..."
There are only about 200 prisoners of war, and every ten people are organized into a group, usually supervised by two or three supervisors. The faces of the prisoners of war are naturally familiar to the supervisors. They do not wear masks and work with their faces exposed, so that the supervisors can pay close attention.
If someone escapes, the overseer will notice it immediately.
These prisoners of war, who are generally slave laborers, are considered consumables. Yang Mingzhi also knew very well that many Soviet prisoners of war were escorted to the mainland by the German army and were also used for various mining jobs. Compared with those unlucky Soviet soldiers, these German soldiers
Already lucky enough!
Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and stopped listening to Qiao Shuya's report. Soon, the group arrived at the rest stop.
The area of the sulfur mine is actually only the size of a football field, and the area where smoke evaporates is even smaller. The location of the rest stop is very good, it is not disturbed by the smoke, and the smell of sulfide is much lighter.
Some soldiers are stationed here. Their body shapes and military uniforms reveal their identity as female soldiers. Because they all wear black gas masks, no one can see their handsome faces.
The German M30 gas mask was designed in the 1930s. It has a strong sense of modernity. Various gas masks in later generations are also of this style. However, in this era, the one fully equipped by the German Wehrmacht was not advanced. It was more like
A special energy-supplied mask. A large, heavy, replaceable filter cover with a knob mounted under the mask.
The female soldiers wore it with a slight steampunk style, like a crow holding a big stone.
Yang Mingzhi counted and found that there was about a squad of soldiers stationed here. There were also some men wearing masks. They did not carry firearms, but each had a short stick in their waist - they were supervisors.
