More than two hundred "men in black" put down their weapons. After that, they were beaten and kicked to varying degrees. Now, these people were ordered to kneel together and hold their heads tightly. Beside them, stood a group of soldiers with live ammunition.
, the machine gun has also been set up, as if it is about to fire.
For these people, it's all over.
These Belarusians served Germany for various reasons. They became the "Oriental Volunteers" and worked very hard to eliminate the guerrillas. They knew that they had done many evil things, and once they were caught by the guerrillas, death was waiting for them.
Yang Mingzhi put his hands behind his back and looked at these people expressionlessly.
Balzen snapped his fingers, and the soldiers escorted the battalion commander of these puppet troops, Bashoisky.
"Is this person, their leader?" Yang Mingzhi pointed and asked slightly confused.
"Yes! Medvedev knows this person's affairs best."
In this battle, the Black Bear Brigade completely took revenge. Medvedev strode to Yang Mingzhi like a victor, lowered his head and spat at the guy who was pressed to the ground. He took the puppet soldiers'
He explained everything clearly, and his tone was full of curses and contempt.
"Okay! Okay! You don't have to scold me anymore!" Yang Mingzhi waved his hand.
"Okay! There's no point in scolding this idiot now. In short, such traitors must be shot!"
Upon hearing the word "shoot to death", all the other kneeling people were startled.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Balzen stepped forward decisively and made a very bold suggestion: "Commander! If you ask me, let's just kill them! Anyway, these are traitors, and they will be shot even if they are taken back."
"Really? According to the regulations, prisoners cannot be killed without mercy."
"No! They are not prisoners!" Balzen corrected: "They were originally Soviet citizens, and now they surrender to the enemy. This is so hateful! We can give the prisoners a life, but traitors and spies should be executed directly! Besides, take them with you
There are still dozens of kilometers to go back to Novgomel. Along the way, more than 200 of them need to eat. We have so much food? They still get shot after eating the food and go back. This is a waste!"
Yang Mingzhi was a Soviet Red Army soldier, but in his heart he could not be as cold-blooded and barbaric as many Soviet soldiers. Killing prisoners was not only bad luck in his opinion, but also made him feel guilty, even though these
In the end, people cannot escape the death penalty.
After thinking about it for a while, there is nothing wrong with Balzen's suggestion.
Thinking back to China two thousand years ago, Bai Qi killed the Zhao army and Xiang Yu killed the Qin army. One of the reasons why large-scale massacres occurred was precisely because our own military rations were not enough. How to provide rations for hundreds of thousands of enemy prisoners?
The same problem faced the Soviet army!
Yang Mingzhi said nothing first, but immediately started a military meeting. All battalion commanders, including Medvedev and Peronsky, arrived one by one.
"Comrades, this military operation is over. Next, our entire army will retreat. We must pass through the Pripet River the day after tomorrow. Only then will we be completely safe..."
Yang Mingzhi decided on the next action plan. In short, he was to go all the way east and follow the stream that eventually merged into the Pripet River. Basically, he would not encounter the enemy again.
"This time we easily eliminated a puppet army, and we got at least 500 firearms. I ordered that the weapons be immediately distributed to strong people, so that we can fight with more than 4,000 troops!"
"With four thousand troops, no one can stop us!" Joshua said hopefully.
"That's right! We still have 40 kilometers to go before we pass through the Pripet River! This road I chose is very familiar to you, especially Balzen, who is sitting here. Yes, it was last July.
We retreated along this road into the swamp and into Catfish Village."
When the past events were brought up, tens of thousands of troops entered the swamp safety zone without any obstruction. This time, the team of more than 8,000 people will be safe and sound.
The meeting ended quickly, and other battalion commanders and temporary officers received orders to immediately pack their bags and set off at three o'clock in the afternoon. By then, there would still be three and a half hours until complete darkness, and even if the entire army was marching slowly,
I can still walk ten kilometers.
This operation originally brought a lot of food, but until now, the number of people rescued is twice that of those who participated in the operation. Even if a lot of food was seized, it is still very difficult to satisfy eight thousand mouths.
In fact, even in a semi-starved state, people can still walk very far. After all, people are animals with extremely strong endurance. Yang Mingzhi doesn't want this. Now that the food has been divided, there is only two days of food left.
For everything, I can only hope that everyone can move faster. As soon as they reach the crossing of the Pripet River, reinforcements will be waiting with a large amount of ready-made bread.
Everyone left one after another, but Balzen was left alone. This behavior of the military commander made him a little puzzled.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Yang Mingzhi whispered: "Barzen, I have carefully considered your proposal just now."
"Really?! If you insist on taking those people with you, I have no objection! I will carry out any military orders."
"Oh? Did I say to bring those guys with me?" Yang Mingzhi's intriguing response made Balzen very puzzled.
After a while, he also became excited: "The commander really wants to destroy them?"
Confirming or denying it, Yang Mingzhi did not say it clearly at all, "Barzen, now all the troops have entered the forest, and only your people continue to guard those people on the river beach. At three o'clock, the army will withdraw, and your reconnaissance battalion will finally return."
Let's go. After you finish your work, come over quickly."
Balzen had an epiphany. People say that Chinese people speak very reservedly, and the commander's reputation is well-deserved. Perhaps because he had to do "wet work" and this kind of thing was not considered honorable, the commander deliberately avoided taboos.
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon came quickly, and the battle ended quickly. The people who were originally frightened quickly settled down. When they learned that the Soviet army had achieved a crushing victory, the people also gained hope.
Yang Mingzhi is staying in the camp at the moment, waiting for three o'clock to arrive.
All rescued Soviet prisoners of war have been promised safety, and hundreds of them have been re-armed and directly served as guards for the team. This situation is undoubtedly a strong reassurance. Thousands of people know that the promise in the swamp is
Gomel, where a large number of firearms and other weapons are stored. When you enter that guerrilla zone, what you are waiting for is not punishment, but rejoining the army.
They all also understood that the Tatar-like officer who saved them would be their top officer, and his safety promise was the military order.
At three o'clock, everyone set out on their way home. More than 8,000 people marched along the planned route, with non-combatants in the middle and all armed personnel surrounding the team.
According to common sense, the elite reconnaissance battalion should have advanced westward before the main force. After all, they were the pioneers, but it was unknown where these people went.
It wasn't until the entire army had walked for nearly half an hour that many people heard low gunshots, which came from the rear of the team...
The soldiers first instinctively embraced their weapons, and soon fully understood the cause of the intensive gunfire.
Just two kilometers away from the team, the captured "men in black" were shot for treason. They were first ordered to take off their clothes, wearing only their underwear, and kneeled collectively by the stream. The machine guns mowed them all down like grass.
wipe out.
The soldiers doing the wet work didn't say anything. They inspected the clothes, took off the eagle emblems, tied up the clothes and boots, and carried them behind their backs. The whole battalion ran towards the large army that had not gone far.
