Seeing that his orders were carried out decisively, all the Soviet prisoners of war stood obediently on both sides. The German lieutenant, who was in charge of everyone's life and death, was in a good mood. Standing on the armored car, he cheered: "Captain Lai! Where's captain Lai? "
The traitor Rai, who had been in German uniform for a long time, ran from the soldiers who were guarding around the prisoners of war, came to the armored vehicle, saluted the German lieutenant, and reported: "report to lieutenant, Captain Rai, commander of the 47th Oriental battalion, report to you, and wait for your order."
"You immediately arrange for the Russian prisoners to be escorted to the camp. Remember, only the soldiers will be escorted, and all the officers will stay. "
Captain Lai promised to run back to his team and assign the task. After a while, hundreds of soldiers in German uniform came to the captured soldiers. They were divided into eight groups and escorted to the north forest.
After the captured soldiers were escorted away by the troops of the eastern battalion, Captain Lai came back to reply to the German lieutenant. The cold-blooded executioner nodded and then turned his eyes to our army of officers with only 70 or 80 people. I don't know why, I felt a chilling killing intention from his eyes. He looked at us for a moment, raised his voice and said to Rai, "Captain, you ask your men to take all these Russian officers to the earth pit."
With his order, a gang of traitors and scum came to us and drove all the people to the buried pit.
We were surrounded by armed soldiers, some from the eastern battalion and some from the German army. In my limited historical knowledge, I clearly remember that during the Soviet German war, the German army slaughtered Soviet prisoners of war was a very common phenomenon. For the German army, the Soviet prisoners of war were a big burden. In addition to wasting precious human and material resources to guard them, they should also be on guard against the possible resistance of the prisoners at any time. So I guess the German Lieutenant's plan is to remove the officers from the prisoners of war first. Without the officers, the rest of the soldiers would be left without leaders. For the Germans, the best way to get rid of these officers is to physically wipe them out.
My hunch soon came true.
The armored car came to our side and stopped. The German Lieutenant stepped down from the armored car. He ordered Rai to take five political workers from the team and take them to the side of the earth pit to stand in a row. Then five German soldiers came out and stood opposite them. Feeling that the atmosphere had been made terrible enough by himself, the German lieutenant stood on the side of the executioner and said in a loud voice, "as long as you shout 'long live Hitler', you can survive."
The five political work cadres standing beside the earth pit stood there with their heads held high, and no one answered him. The German Lieutenant raised his fist over his head with one hand and yelled angrily, "I'll count to five. If no one yells, you'll all die." With that, he began to read, "one, two..." each number, he stretched out a finger. On the count of five, his fists were all open. Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he waved down and called out a word of German.
With his command, the executioner pulled the trigger. After the gunfire, some of the political workers standing at the edge of the pit fell directly into the earth pit on their backs, and some of them shook their bodies in the same place and slowly fell to the ground.
Layi estimated that he had done the same thing before. He immediately commanded several subordinates to push the corpses into the earth pit, and at the same time, he arrested five officers from among us.
Of course, no one gave in this time. After a new round of gunfire, the five officers also fell into a pool of blood.
When Layi's subordinates came to the team for the third time, some people were afraid. A major was scared to pee his pants on the spot. The water stains ran down his pants to the ground, and a smell of shame immediately floated around him.
Layi looked at the officer with disdain, then pointed to him and told his men: "you two. Get him out of here Two soldiers came immediately, and the major went out on the shelf.
Although I was scared to death, I tried to keep calm. Seeing the major who was scared to pee in his pants, I said that he would not shout long live Hitler because he was afraid of death?!
I didn't expect that I guessed right this time. As soon as the muzzle of several German soldiers was raised, the major, who was too scared to stand up, squatted on the ground and cried out: "long live Hitler! Long live Hitler Seeing that someone finally gave in, the German Lieutenant showed a proud smile on his face. He asked the soldiers to pull the ghost aside and recapture an officer from the team to take his place.
With a living example, there were one or two officers in almost every group of prisoners who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Because they called long live Hitler, they were dragged aside and escaped the fate of being shot. When the tenth group of Soviet commanders fell into a pool of blood, there were seven surviving officers standing next to them.
Fifty people were pushed into the pit, and the wounded were still groaning in pain. The German Lieutenant frowned. He turned to Lai and said, "Captain Lai, go and help those people in the pit so that they won't be upset."
Laiyi agreed and asked for two long handled grenades from the soldiers nearby. He went to the pit, pulled the string, waited for a few seconds, threw the grenades into the pit, and then fell on the ground. After two loud noises, the flesh and blood flew around, and the groans in the pit stopped suddenly. But Laiyi didn't expect that the grenade was so powerful that he was splashed with blood. When he returned to the German lieutenant in embarrassment, he looked at him and said impatiently, "OK, Captain, change the team." This time, unfortunately, I was chosen to be one of the victims of group 11. When I stood by the pit and looked at the bloody corpses inside, I smelled the strong and choking smell of blood. Although I tried to keep calm, I was thinking quickly in my mind. Do I need to shout long live Hitler like the previous officers later? When the German Lieutenant saw that there was a female officer among the pending officers, his face was a little surprised. He came up to me, looked me up and down, and said coldly, "this lady, as long as you shout long live Hitler, you will not die." Although I wanted to cry for my life in my heart, I could not help hesitating when I saw that the officers on the left and right were just and awe inspiring. I opened my mouth and held back. I looked up at the German lieutenant, hoping that he could provide me with other options. However, to my disappointment, the lieutenant obviously didn't want to waste any more time. Seeing that I didn't respond, he turned back to the executioner and raised his fist high above his head. Seeing this scene, I know that he should enter the five second countdown next. When the time comes, he will issue the order to open fire, and even the gods can't save me. But let me shout long live Hitler, I really can't shout. Seeing that he has straightened his third finger, the melody of a revolutionary song suddenly appeared in my mind. At this critical moment, I didn't care about anything, so I began to sing loudly. When the German Lieutenant heard my humming tune, he stopped the countdown and slowly put down his high hand. The soldiers who had raised their guns also lowered their muzzle and listened to my humming carefully“ Mr. lieutenant, the Colonel has something urgent for you. I want you to come right away Layi ran to the lieutenant and told him loudly“ The Colonel called me When the lieutenant heard that, he said, "where is he? Take me quickly." Although I continued to hum that song, my eyes moved with the back of the German lieutenant and Raj, and I found that more than ten meters away, I didn't know when an open car was parked, with the driver and an officer wearing a big cornice cap sitting on it. I guess that was the Colonel Raj said. There were two tricycles at the front and back of the car, with German soldiers in helmets and submachine guns. The German Lieutenant went up to the officer, stood at attention and reported something to him. The officer nodded as he listened to his report. Then it seemed that he gave an order to the lieutenant. The lieutenant took a look at me, and then another salute came to attention. Then he trotted over with Lai. The lieutenant came up to me and said coldly, "lady, don't sing any more. Our captain wants to see you. Come with me." After that, I turned around and left. I quickly followed. Just out of a few steps, Lai catch up and flatter to ask: "Mr. lieutenant, the rest of the people how to do?" "Old rule, shoot them all," the lieutenant said Lai then asked: "what about the officers who called long live Hitler?"“ The same, all shot, no one left When I heard the cruel command of the lieutenant, I shivered. It seemed that he was teasing us. Even if he yelled long live, he could not escape the fate of being shot. I just don't know what kind of fate is waiting for me after meeting the colonel? When I got to the convertible and saw the officer sitting in the car, I was relieved: good intentions are rewarded. It seems that I have no worries about my life. The captain put his hand on the door of the car and said with a smile, "Hello! Officer girl, I didn't expect to see you again. " I looked at the rank on his shoulder and replied with a smile, "yes, Colonel von Tolman, I didn't expect to see you here." Colonel Tolman nodded at me and said with approval, "I just heard you humming" the training song of German Emperor Wei Lian ". I didn't expect that you hummed so well." I wry smile, heart said: "brother, you know what ah? What I hummed was not "the song of the German Emperor Wei Lian training", but "the three major disciplines and eight points for attention", but the two songs all used the same song. "
