All the children who were found were temporarily gathered in the empty field of Igretoskaya, and treatment for those who were injured began.
After all, paratroopers are not military doctors. They can only use cloth strips to tie the injured limbs to bleed, and eagerly await the next order from their superiors.
Look at these children, they are all in such a mess. All the children are young girls, even girls. Their clothes are in rags and their faces are covered with black coal. Fortunately, at least everyone is wearing shoes.
Every paratrooper was well-educated, and they did not hesitate to take out their ration bags and treat them with biscuits.
Rychev ordered: "Now, whoever finds the person will be taken care of temporarily and provided with food and water until new orders are received."
Bondanov also issued a similar order.
All the children found were cared for by at least one soldier, who was more than happy to watch as they wolfed down their food with tears in their eyes.
Yang Mingzhi arrived not too late. Now he realized that he paid too much attention to the enemy in terms of tactics. The German troops stationed here were simply their third-rate troops and were not vulnerable at all. Of course, he had to fight with thousands of people.
A small ragtag group of people can be regarded as anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.
Multiple fire points have appeared throughout the village, and the fires in some buildings have intensified. Black smoke is rising, and its existence is simply a huge mockery of the enemy.
It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!
As soon as Yang Mingzhi entered the village, he saw a small group of people sitting on the ground. As long as he paid a little attention, he instantly understood that these were girls who were obviously younger than Natasha. Their pigtails were hanging down.
It explains everything. It is gratifying that every child is being taken care of by soldiers, with a kettle in their left hand and food in their right hand.
Seeing the superior coming, Rychev and Bondanov came to greet him personally.
"How is the situation now? What are the casualties? What are the results of the battle?"
The officer's straight-to-the-point inquiry was really vague, and Rychev also boasted of his great contribution and responded happily: "My battalion sacrificed two soldiers in this battle. They were so unlucky that they were killed by the enemy's only resistance.
Except, I still have six wounded people, they just have bruises on their arms."
Yang Mingzhi nodded, "What about you? Bondanov."
"Me? None of my men were sacrificed. Only ten of them were slightly injured. I think they can take out the warheads and recuperate for a month before they can go to the battlefield."
"Very good! Now that the enemy has been eliminated, how many people have we saved now? How many children to be exact!"
"About eighty!" Reichev interrupted.
This is what he is most proud of. He stretched out his right hand and pointed: "Now my soldiers are taking care of them! Most of these children are girls, and the oldest is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Everyone's physical condition is
None of it is good, but fortunately he is emotionally stable after being rescued by us."
"A total of eighty children?" Yang Mingzhi was excited, "We will escort them back, find out their place of origin and school, and then report the information to the senior management. You, Reichev, and Bondanov
, but he made a great contribution to the 233rd Paratrooper Brigade."
Reichev scratched his head happily: "Of course there will be credit and honor. My people also discovered good things. Although it is not a credit, it is very important to us."
"Oh? What did you find?"
"It's a food warehouse!"
In this way, Yang Mingzhi also stood in front of the pile of flour bags that had been moved out. The soldiers who moved the goods confessed that the weight of the flour was not much. From the appearance alone, Yang Mingzhi estimated that it was less than a ton. He talked about
Even if it is not too much, it can improve the current predicament of the army.
On the other side of the flour pile was a pile of cans spread out on the ground. He picked up a can and found out from the text on it that it was canned pickled cucumbers. In addition to this, there were also canned pickled cabbage and pickled radish.
, but there are only a few of the most delicious, juicy and high-energy canned meats.
"Alas! It seems that the Germans here only eat vegetarian food on weekdays. Their food standards are far worse than those of the German troops on the front line!"
"So, these Nazis did not hesitate to seize the livestock of local villagers. If they caught live cattle and sheep, they would kill them for meat." Reichev agreed.
Yang Mingzhi stood up and shook the dust off his body: "Okay! Now those Nazis can't eat anymore! We should also quickly understand the war here."
At this time, the donkeys accompanying the army were of great use. Because a large amount of ammunition was consumed, the load of these animals was greatly reduced, and it was no problem to carry a sack on each head.
The order was passed to the paratroopers. They currently have two tasks. One is to return all the rescued children to the hidden camp of the large army in the forest. Secondly, to take away all the captured food and usable firearms and ammunition.
.
The paratroopers who were quick to do things did what they said. If the child was weak, the soldiers would carry her on her back or hold her in her arms and leave the village without looking back. There were also children who claimed to be healthy, but it was still difficult for the soldiers to let her walk on her own.
Don't worry, at least we can hold each other's hands and run towards the forest.
The battle was like a storm, and he did not hesitate when retreating.
Yang Mingzhi also gave orders to Yang Tao and Natasha who were following him. Regardless of whether they had any achievements in the battle, since there were wounded soldiers, they must perform their duties as military doctors when entering the village.
At ten o'clock in the morning, most of the soldiers left Igretoskaya, leaving only Yang Mingzhi and the reconnaissance battalion here.
He leaned down and grabbed a handful of warm soil.
"Oh, I really don't know how many children were sent here, how many were sent away, and how many died here..."
This was not Yang Mingzhi's idle moaning. He was about to leave for the last time. During the final inspection, the soldiers with keen senses in the reconnaissance camp suddenly discovered a small cemetery in a corner of the village.
Yang Mingzhi rushed over after hearing the news. It was a small garden between two wooden houses. There were many wooden sticks stuck in the black soil, and some even had a cross nailed horizontally. It was obviously a cross.
Unsurprisingly, the dead were children. They were probably tortured to death by the Germans, or died of injuries and hunger. For them, the suffering was over, and so were the guys who persecuted them.
.
Seeing that the commander seemed to be meditating, Balzen asked: "Commander! Next, should we burn this place down?"
"Yes! Burn it, we can't let the enemy use this place again!"
"Okay! I'll give the order to set the fire right now!"
Balzen was resolute in carrying out his orders. His soldiers took down burning wooden sticks from the burning wooden houses and threw them into unaffected buildings.
In order to vent their anger, some soldiers urinated on the corpses of their enemies and then threw the corpses into burning buildings.
It was disgusting for his subordinates to do this, but when he thought about the torture and killing of Russian girls by the Germans, he felt relieved.
No matter what, giving these Nazis a cremation instead of their corpses in the wilderness is considered a mercy!
