Because the Soviet attack was very sudden and extremely violent, the Polish battalion was bombarded in the first wave, because many shells hit the barracks directly, and many people died on the spot.

They are not Germans after all, and they are not hardcore Nazis mentally. At best, they cooperated with Germany and simply sought revenge from the Russians. When the attack came out of nowhere, they were well aware that the enemy who could create this kind of firepower was not something they could defeat, not even the Germans.

The Polish battalion proved their speed of escape, many of them did not have time to put on black uniforms, and many of them only put on leather shoes, rifles and a few rounds of ammunition, and rushed to the dirt road and ran all the way west.

Bondanov tried to pursue them, but unfortunately the exchange of fire was very short. A handful of lone Poles were killed, and the troops did not continue the pursuit.

Fortunately, the pursuing troops were successful, and they found that the enemy had lost their armor and lost their armor, but they picked up a lot of rifles along the way. Amazingly, these turned out to be Mosin Nagant!

Yang Mingzhi did not continue to stay on the battlefield, he moved the headquarters to the forest again.

At this time, the work of cleaning up the battlefield had already begun in full swing.

As the morning mist soon lifted, the warm morning sun shone over the forest. There was still smoke on the battlefield, and the buildings that should have been burned were still burning.

The soldiers searched the warehouses affected by the fighting, especially the garage where the tanks were originally parked, and there were a lot of good things - ammunition.

The MG34 in the troops did not consume less ammunition in battle, and now there are ready-made ready-to-use cartridges in packs, several boxes of them, and more than twenty boxes of Mauser rifle cartridges. In addition to these, the soldiers also found Soviet-made bullets, although they did not understand why there were several boxes of these bullets, they were quickly divided by the soldiers who found the ammunition and stuffed into their own bullet bags.

After all, no fighter will feel that he has too much ammunition!

Finished bread, canned goods, and even bales of flour. Unfortunately, a large amount of food was destroyed in the battle, and in the end, the soldiers did not save much.

The Soviet army had more than 100 wounded, and the military doctors did not have a good means of treatment, so they had to give everyone a little morphine first. Star fruit is the only one who can perform emergency surgery, and no one has much hope for how many of the injured will survive in the end.

In fact, many of the seriously injured died quickly after some treatment, and those who survived were those who were shot in the limbs.

The warhead must be removed quickly, otherwise lead poisoning will still be fatal. Yang Mingzhi didn't want his wife to be tired because of this, but he couldn't watch his soldiers die because they couldn't be treated.

The battle was the result of this, and the reality was not what he thought. It can be said that the previous attacks were too smooth, and this battle was a little hard to bite. In particular, the Germans actually showed the courage to charge to the death, which shows that this new enemy, the 734th Division, should not be underestimated.

In this operation, the combat goal of annihilating the enemy in Bainiu Village was basically completed, and the group of traitors of the puppet army ran away.

As for the goal of saving Soviet prisoners of war, I am afraid that this was not accomplished well, because the shelling would inevitably affect the barracks where the prisoners of war were held.

The soldiers were assembling in the forest with sacks, and there were all kinds of loot. After a while, a group of ragged people also appeared - they were captured by the Red Army soldiers of the Germans.

Bondanov was very satisfied with this operation, his paratrooper losses were minimal, and the capture was very large.

A large number of prisoners of war were walking on the grass, and judging by their expressions alone, they were in a really good mood. Yes, how can you not be happy to be rescued by your own army?

Bondanov came to Yang Mingzhi and said proudly: "Comrade Commander! My battalion has basically completed its mission, and I have rescued at least two thousand people! ”

More than 2,000 people, which is undoubtedly a huge number! Hearing this report, Yang Mingzhi felt quite complicated.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a kind of regret, if there were fewer people rescued, it would be excellent, and the number of people of such a regiment would undoubtedly be a huge burden. Quickly assemble yourself at the predetermined place and the people who withdrew first, and the troops will quickly turn into a huge group with more than 8,000 people!

I have no choice!

Yang Mingzhi immediately ordered: "Bondanov, let these people line up first and distribute the captured bread to them!" You pick a few more people and get them to take up arms again, ready to retreat at any time. ”

Bondanov carried out decisively, and before that, his men had already negotiated with the prisoners of war. Prisoners of war here were ordered to cut down the trees, cut the tall red pines into sections, and then hauled them away by trucks.

Logging was a manual task, so the Germans mostly chose prisoners of war who were physically strong enough. Compared to the SS, it was the Wehrmacht that was more pragmatic. Langemann is responsible for policing the area, as well as for the amount of timber extracted. Prisoner laborers needed whips to drive them away, and food was needed to meet the huge amount of physical exertion.

It can be said that these prisoners of war did not become sick. One side needed enough timber, the other needed to live, and the Soviet-German pair reached a cooperation, and the Germans elected a so-called "centurion" for every hundred prisoners of war. After a brief confession from the prisoners, there were 29 "centurions", and it was deduced that there were 29 logging teams.

Prisoners of war were prisoners of war after all, and the Germans provided food at most, and as for the treatment of diseases and injuries, their way of dealing with them was to isolate them. As a result, there are still many unnatural deaths of prisoners of war.

Yang Mingzhi understood a lot about these situations after a little interrogation.

"These Germans are quite good at management, a leader of a hundred people, and now they save me a lot of trouble."

For the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, each of them had a deep hatred for the Germans, and even more for the traitors.

Balzen was a complete contempt for these surrendered German troops, even if they were very well-founded. Discipline is here, if there are no regulations to restrain them, these guys will be able to pull them out of the way. It's a pity that if he did, he himself would have been shot.

Balzen still wanted to vent, he came to Yang Mingzhi and suggested: "Commander! The Germans elected proxies among the prisoners of war, which made the prisoners forget to resist. I think such people are the most hateful, and now I will shoot all these agents! ”

For his words, Yang Mingzhi was really taken aback, and decisively vetoed: "Stupid! To do so is to give me another trouble! ”

From the perspective of human nature, there is nothing wrong with "Centurion", who doesn't want to live in this troubled world, even if they live reluctantly. Yang Mingzhi did not explain in this way, but pointed out very pragmatically: "I want to bring these people back, and after they are screened, the real traitors will be tried publicly, and the others will continue to be guilty and meritorious in the Red Army in accordance with the regulations." As for the managers elected by the German army, I need them along the way, so that the whole team will not be chaotic! ”

"But ......"

"You don't have to say it!" Yang Mingzhi gave him a blank look, "Balzen, you have to use your brains to be an officer!" Know the strategy! If you keep being a reckless man, you can only continue to be a battalion commander! ”

After a simple count, 24 of the 29 "centurions" survived, and a total of more than 200 people were killed or wounded in the shelling. The war was cruel, and even if it was to save prisoners of war, the Soviets could only bring the able-bodied, and the wounded could only let them die.
