Chapter 760

"What, what do you say?" As the current noise from the earphone was very loud, I was afraid I heard it wrong, so I checked it out loud: "you said you found a new German prison camp?"

"Yes, sir." Safchenko affirmed: "according to the prisoner's confession, there are more than 1700 officers and men in this camp."

"Are there any wounded in the camp?" Thinking of the current situation of the shortage of drugs in the division Health Center, in order to determine whether it will be able to receive the wounded among the prisoners of war in the future, I can't help asking, "or do you know the exact number of the wounded?"

"There are more than 600 wounded people, all of whom are slightly injured, not seriously injured. According to the prisoner's confession, when the camp was transferred, the German army shot and killed all the seriously injured people who were difficult to move. "

"Asshole, these damn German animals!" When I heard that safchenko said that the German army had shot our captured and seriously injured soldiers, I hit the table with a fierce blow and said angrily, "sooner or later, we will ask them to pay back this blood debt."

"What about these prisoners?" Safchenko asked me.

Hearing safchenko's question, I immediately said bitterly, "what else can I do? Of course, I'll kill them all without leaving any survivors." I was thinking, the Germans are powerful, I can't help you, but it's OK to kill a few traitors who help tyranny.

I didn't expect that safchenko quickly dissuaded me from this impulsive decision: "Sir, comrade, you can't kill these prisoners, but you can't kill them?"

"Why not kill?" I asked in a stuffy voice. I was puzzled by safchenko's plea for several unknown prisoners. "You can't take some prisoners, cross the enemy's blockade and return to our defense area?"

Safchenko probably recognized the dissatisfaction in my voice and quickly explained to me: "among the three prisoners we captured, there was a staff sergeant who said that he was Mrs. halko and was forced to surrender to the Germans. If we don't kill him, he's willing to commit crimes. "

"Guilty and meritorious?" When I heard this word, I could not help but sneer, and then asked: "how does he intend to commit crimes?"

"That's true, sir." Safchenko said respectfully, "the sergeant said that Captain Nikolay, the commander of his battalion, was from the same village as him. It's said that there was a Karpov battalion who got our forgiveness and preferential treatment after anyhow, so their battalion commander was also moved and wanted to get in touch with us to see if there was any chance of the same anyhow. "

Safchenko's words shocked me even more than when I heard about the POW camp just now. Did Karpov's words really bring about a chain reaction? Did the rest of the East camp want to break away from the German control and return to our army? Thinking of this, I pondered for a moment, and then said to safchenko carefully: "Comrade safchenko, although the prisoner said so, you still ask when and on what occasion this captain Nikolay said this sentence, and how credible is it?"

Before I finished, safchenko had already asked in advance: "Comrade division, if the prisoner's account is completely true, can I contact captain Nikolay, the commander of the eastern battalion?"

"Don't worry, comrade safchenko." Although I heard that Dongfang camp was thinking about it again, I didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, I was alert and said, "although what the prisoner said seems to be true, after all, his level is too low. He can't control some things at all, so he still needs to be careful." At this point, I stopped to think about it, and then told safchenko: "you go to interrogate the prisoner again, and report to me when you have the exact information."

I put down my headphones and transmitter and found kirilov, all three of them standing by. Kirilov took the lead and expressed concern and stability: "Comrade oshanina, what happened? I just saw you angry."

I took a look at him and said bitterly, "Comrade political commissar, I can't help being angry. Political commissar oberstein led the night attack troops to bombard the village. The Germans in the village had all withdrawn at some time. After the withdrawal, they set up the POW camp there and sent an oriental camp to guard it. When the German moved the camp, they shot and killed all the seriously injured people who could not be moved. "

Kirilov and the three of them were stunned by my intelligence. After a long time, kirilov took the lead in saying, "the Germans are so cunning. They secretly transferred their troops when our army could not go deep into their rear area for reconnaissance. At the same time, they also set up a prisoner's camp in that village, I just want our air force to think that the village is full of Germans, and let our air force bomb kill all our people. "

"What are we going to do next?" Bantaileiev then asked.

Then I thought of the last words of safchenko and said to them, "by the way, I almost forgot to tell you something. Comrade safchenko said that the commander of the Oriental battalion, who was in charge of the POW camp, also wanted to follow the example of Captain Karpov and lead his troops to surrender to our army. What do you think of it? "

"It can't be such a coincidence," said akhromeyev tentatively in a suspicious tone. "Captain Karpov didn't have a long time anyway, and soon there were troops of the eastern battalion. Anyway, where is such a coincidence in the world. It's not the enemy's plot, is it

"Comrade chief of staff, you have been over careful." Bantaileiev said unexpectedly: "as Comrade division commander said some time ago, the success of Karpov battalion is not only that we have won a troop, but also that the political significance of its leadership is immeasurable. Perhaps the officers and men of the eastern battalion, after seeing that Karpov had returned to us, had not been liquidated, so they all moved their minds anyway. "

Seeing that akhromeyev wanted to argue with bantaileiev, I quickly raised my hand to stop them and said to myself, "I'll ask safchenko to interrogate the prisoners again and discuss the next action after we have a clear understanding of the specific situation." Having said that, I asked akhromeyev directly, "Comrade chief of staff, have the other two reconnaissance teams returned?"

Akhromeyev shook his head, raised his hand, looked at his watch, and replied, "it's not long before dawn. It's estimated that they will be back soon."

Just then, basmanov's voice came from the door: "report to division commander, the small team that went to the enemy's position for reconnaissance has come back, let them in?"

"Let the leading comrades in." Akhromeyev said briefly.

A moment later, two soldiers in helmets, raincoats and submachine guns came in. Akhromeyev came out from among us, met the two men, and at the same time asked aloud, "have you made clear the situation of the enemy?"

"Yes, comrade major." The two scouts replied in unison.

"Now that the situation is clear, let's come down and start reporting." Akhromeyev pointed to a soldier and said, "it's up to you to report first."

"Yes The Scout agreed and began to report the situation of their reconnaissance: "report to commander, my team has been ordered to conduct reconnaissance near highland 107.5. I took two soldiers to climb up the east slope of the highland quietly. I carefully observed the enemy's camp and found that there were not many German troops on the highland, only less than one company

"What? Less than a company? " Without waiting for him to speak, akhromeyev interrupted him in surprise. After looking at the rank on his badge, he asked solemnly, "Comrade sergeant, are you sure you read it right?"

The Scout Sergeant shook his head like a rattle and replied, "Comrade major, yes, I'm absolutely right. In order to determine the accuracy of the information, I also personally went into the trench and quietly touched the outside of several hiding departments to eavesdrop on the inside. After repeated verification, there will not be more than one German company stationed on the highlands at present. "

After hearing this, akhromeyev turned to look at us and saw that we were all silent, so he turned to another scout and asked, "what about you, corporal?"?! You and your team are going to scout the German forward position. What do you see? Just now the sergeant said that there is less than one company left on the 107.5 highland. What's the situation there? There won't be only one German company left, will there

The Scout corporal shook his head and denied ahlomeyev's conjecture. Just when I thought that the corporal could give us some information that we could accept, he said with astonishment: "the enemy in that position has no company at all, only one platoon at most, and they are not German, they are a group of Italians."

Fortunately, none of us wore glasses, otherwise after hearing his news, there would be a pile of broken glass under our feet. Akhromeyev seemed unable to accept such a reconnaissance result. Just as he was going to continue to ask, he was interrupted by deputy division commander bantaileiev: "OK, chief of staff, don't ask. I believe what the reconnaissance comrades said is true." Then he waved his hand to the two scouts and told them, "there's nothing for you here. Let's go down and have a rest." A scout heard his order, raised his hand to salute us, turned and left.

After the scouts left, Bantai leiev asked me thoughtfully, "Comrade division commander, you can tell me that there is no German shadow on the defense line near us, so where have they gone?"

"Maybe they were secretly transferred to the west to reinforce their friends." Kirilov was a little uncertain and said, "but the Germans are too brave. They only left so many troops to hold us back. Aren't they afraid that we will take their back?"

After summing up the reports of the scouts, I finally understand why the Germans have been holding their ground in the mamayev Post recently. It turns out that it is not that they do not want to fight, but that they have no soldiers to fight us at all. Now that I've seen through the German empty city plan, it's time to move on. Since they want to teach them a lesson, I don't mind giving them a good lesson. You know, the Chinese are their ancestors. Thinking of this, I immediately called kirilov and bantaileiev: "political commissar and deputy division commander, let's discuss how to take advantage of the good opportunity of the German defense line to carry out a bold adventure and teach the enemy a lesson so that they have to transfer their troops back from the factory area or other areas."

When we sat back at the table and were about to discuss the details of the action, razumeyeva, who was sitting by the wall, suddenly stood up and cried out, "Comrade teacher, it's comrade safchenko."

I was about to stand up, but kirilov raised his hand to stop me. He waved his head to akhromeyev and said, "Comrade chief of staff, you can answer this call." Akhromeyev nodded, stood up and went to razumeyeva. Seeing kirilov smiling at me, I knew in my heart that the reason why he asked akhromeyev to answer the phone was to protect me. You know, they almost got into trouble when they instigated Karpov last time. If they instigated other troops without asking for instructions this time, it might really bring me unnecessary trouble.
