Chapter 1671

A staff sergeant came up to me and I recognized him as a platoon leader of the guard platoon. I repeated the question again: "Comrade staff sergeant, can you tell us all why you want to kill these German prisoners of war?"

"Comrade General," the sergeant said to me, waiting for his red eyes, "we want revenge!"

"Revenge, what revenge?" Trikov guessed something from my conversation with the sergeant. He quickly cooperated with me and asked the other party, "sergeant, please tell us your reasons."

The staff sergeant heard that. Instead of speaking immediately, he gave me an inquiring look. Seeing that I nodded my permission, he said loudly to the commanders and fighters standing around, "comrades, I used to be a prisoner of war. To be exact, I was a prisoner of war rescued from the maydanek concentration camp."

He pointed to the soldiers standing among the corpses, and then said, "like me, they were rescued from the concentration camp. What do we do in the prison camp? It's a special collection of corpses. The corpses of those who were poisoned in the gas chamber are transported to the incinerator to burn. These poisoned people include not only our captured comrades in arms, but also ordinary people, including the elderly, women and children

In order to cover up their crimes, the German government will replace a group of corpse collectors every few months. Where have the eliminated people gone? I'll tell you, they were sent to the gas chamber and poisoned alive. If our troops had not liberated Lublin in time, my comrades in arms and I would not have escaped the same fate

I had vowed in my heart to avenge every victim I sent to the incinerator. As many victims as I push into the incinerator, I will kill as many Germans as I want to avenge them... "

After the chief's words, there was a dead silence around him. Obviously, his story shocked everyone. Just as I was thinking at a high speed about how to resolve the current crisis, I didn't know which soldier shook his arms and cried out: "defeat the Communist aggressors and avenge our people!"

His call was an order. A moment later, the whole square rang out like a tsunami. At the end of the call, I only felt everyone yelling, but I couldn't hear what they were yelling.

When the square was quiet again, I felt my eardrum still buzzing. Looking at the sergeant and dozens of soldiers in front of me, it made me feel that this matter is very difficult. First, I am the deputy commander of the front army. Second, these are my subordinates. If they are not handled properly, there will be endless troubles. Thinking of this, I looked at trakov and asked, "Comrade General, how do you think this should be handled?"

With a smile, trakov turned to his subordinates and said in a loud voice, "comrades, just now these German prisoners attempted to seize our army's weapons. They rioted here. Fortunately, they were discovered by the guard company of the deputy commander of the front army and wiped out the enemy in time. Is that right? "

Although the starting point of trakov is to help me out, I feel very embarrassed by this kind of lying. I'm afraid that if everyone doesn't buy it, then I don't know how to end it.

Fortunately, after a short silence, a voice said, "yes, it was the Germans who tried to seize our weapons and were killed by our soldiers."

"Yes, that's what happened." More voices echoed, "we see it, too!"

After the commanders and fighters in the square reached an agreement, trakov spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said to me, "Rita, you have heard that it was the German prisoners who attempted to riot and were completely eliminated. That's what happened."

Under the mediation of trakov, the massacre of prisoners of war was successfully solved. But when some of us got into the armored car, he restrained his smile and said to me seriously, "Rita, although you are my superior now, I still have a few words from my heart to tell you."

"Go ahead, Comrade General. I'm listening." I owe trekov a favor. No matter how he criticizes me, I will accept it with an open mind.

"I suggest that when you go back, you immediately disperse these soldiers into the companies. Let them get together again, it is an unstable factor all the time Trakov said to me, "today we only killed more than 100 prisoners of war, and we can cover it up. If our troops enter the German border in the future, and they are burning, killing and looting with such hatred towards the German people, what should we do with them? "

"Yes, comrade deputy commander." After trakov finished, his military commissar, general Pronin, continued: "you were demoted and used in the defense of Moscow because you killed a group of German prisoners of war for Zoya's revenge. If today's affairs are not handled properly and your attempt is affected, it is estimated that there will be little chance to turn over again. "

I think what trikov and Pronin said is very reasonable. The Germans will surrender in a few months. If they are demoted by Stalin at this time, it will be a problem to be a general again at the end of the war, not to mention marshal. So I nodded hard and said, "I see. Thank you for your reminding. When I get back to the headquarters of the front army, I'll spread these soldiers among the companies. "

When we went back to trakov's headquarters, we were surprised to find that katukov was also here. He came here specially to discuss the cooperative combat with trakov. As the troops continue to move forward, the supply of fuel, ammunition and various military materials in the rear will be the top priority. Therefore, major general pokhaznikov, the head of the Logistics Department of the group army, Col. brotsky, the chief of staff of the logistics department, Col. bukarev, the Minister of armaments, Col. Akimov, the director of oil supplies, Col. spasov, the director of supplies, and Mr The Minister of health, Colonel boykov, and others called the Military Council. Discuss and work out a feasible supply plan for fuel, ammunition and materials. When it was dark, I received a phone call from Zhukov. From him, I really heard new good news: General Bogdanov's second group army of close guard tanks launched a battle from the area under the control of the fifth group army in the morning. Within one day, they advanced 80 kilometers and successfully arrived in sohachev, cutting off the retreat of the German Warsaw group. The 11th and 9th tank armies have rushed into Lamar and are engaged in a fierce battle with the city's defenders. A part of the 61st army went north successfully, and the 47th army and the 1st Polish Army completed the encirclement of Warsaw.
