Both of them spoke, and Yevlov had to happen as well, and the example was even more terrifying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'll say one more thing, after the first attack of our army on Homnich, after the city was broken, many women were found. It is not at all an exception for them to become prostitutes of the Wehrmacht, who were citizens and forced our women to become their slaves. These rescued women are now also in the village, and some even become female soldiers! ”

Obviously, they have a lot of facts!

Salinchkin spread his hands: "You have convinced me, it seems that I was wrong. I had some illusions about the German soldiers, and you had ample physical witnesses to prove that the Wehrmacht and the SS were the same. But! Salinchkin sat up straight and paused: "Attention, everyone, in any case, it is wrong to kill prisoners. In the past, we could cite food shortages as a reason, but now we cannot. You know, keeping prisoners alive is more useful than when they die. As far as I know, you don't control more than 200 people at the moment, they have become laborers. Letting the captives atone for their sins by producing the things we urgently need with their labor is what they should do and what we need. ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "I know what you mean, there is a term called the prisoner of war economy that describes this." It seems to me that these prisoners of war are mere slaves, and if they are given enough potatoes every day to work honestly under supervision, even if we have only two hundred captives, the profits from these laborers are still considerable. ”

This is what Salinchkin most wants to hear, and this Chinese Berekov is more rational than Yerentina, who is angry to the point of frying.

He had no reason to reject Yeretina's statements, and from the current point of view, if the entire officers and men of the 284th Division, as well as the general population of Novgomel, had such an attitude, this anger against the Germans could be a source of combat effectiveness for the army.

Since you have drunk, you can talk about something else, not to mention that for these people trapped in the swamp, they really need the voice of Moscow.

Salinchkin coughed and proposed: "Comrades, in the war, too many of our men went to war, and only women and children remained in the rear. There was a huge shortage of labor, and the country's food production plummeted, so it was necessary to use German prisoners of war to produce potatoes for us. ”

When these words reached Yang Mingzhi's ears, it was really familiar. It is not advisable to suppress the class enemy in an all-round way, it is better to let them produce millet for the people. In this way, he continued to sit upright and listen to the man's arguments from Moscow.

"So, as the mayor of Novgomel, I represent the party and the leader, and now I give an order to you, the senior officers of the 284th Division, that in the future, we must put an end to the private execution of prisoners! This is very important for the construction of our army. ”

"However, our soldiers are often red-eyed, not to mention that even if these Germans surrender, they really don't know how many people were slaughtered and how many women were insulted before that."

Yerentina knew that her argument was out of place, and she held herself accountable and had to say it!

Salinchkin shook his head: "You guys! Remember, you are actually an internal force and should serve as a role model. As far as I know, guerrillas of all sizes, large and small, operating throughout the occupied zone, are killing prisoners! You have many reasons, but it's still wrong! The various guerrillas often lost contact with their superiors, so much so that many fell into a state of disorganization. Nowadays, only by maintaining good military discipline can the guerrillas degenerate into bandits.

In my opinion, there are a lot of bad tendencies in the 284 Guards Division, which does not correspond to the identity of the Red Army soldiers! Even if the soldiers are very good at fighting, it would be a great mistake for you high-ranking officers to make the soldiers think that there is a reason to kill prisoners because of the acquiescence of you, the senior officers. I think you survived the 200 captives by your own order. In fact, when you can't see it, many captives are summarily shot. ”

These words are in Yang Mingzhi's heart. There is a kind of cruelty called turning a blind eye. It was in February, just after the battle was fought, and the large-scale production campaign was in full swing. Originally, he still thought that it was beneficial for the troops to treat the prisoners preferentially, but as a result, this group of prisoners actually carried hoes and shovels to riot, and the goal was to kill themselves. The incident quickly subsided, and some villagers were killed.

This incident happened, and the original preferential treatment of the captives was really kind to the liver and lungs of the donkey, and the woman Yerengina simply killed a group of people with the ancient eleven methods. From then on, the captives were sent to dig for brimstone, and were given large quantities of preserved potatoes only because of the great physical strength they needed. It's just that being in a toxic environment for a long time will continue to devastate life.

Thinking of this, Yang Mingzhi looked sideways at Yelenkina who was blushing. She wasn't a drunken reaction, she was just angry.

The words rushed here, and the prisoners were slaughtered indiscriminately because of the assassination, and this matter should not be explained to this man immediately, and he would talk about it again.

Yang Mingzhi sat up straight and said loudly: "I support Comrade Commissioner with a clear banner. As chief of staff and deputy commander of the 284th Division, I supported the prohibition of the killing of prisoners of war. ”

Seeing that he was so serious, Yevlov immediately made the same statement.

"What about you? Comrade Yerenkina? As a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even if you are deep in the swamp for most of the year, you must remember your mission. Salinchkin looked at her and asked seductively.

Yerenkina didn't quite accept this in her bones, but from the perspective of her position, it was necessary to obey the orders of her superiors. "Okay, I'm for it! In the future, I will order the soldiers not to kill prisoners of war without permission. ”

This was clearly a bit absent-minded, and it was reasonable that she had counted so much black material from the SS and Wehrmacht.

"Well, what I need here is not just for the three of you to say something, but to actually do it! I don't think it will solve the problem of soldiers abusing and killing prisoners just by appealing. For this we have to make some clear rules, and if a soldier is found to have done such a thing, he must be punished. When others find out that a soldier is doing this, they choose to hide it instead of reporting it, and they will also be punished. I think the only way to completely eradicate these is to be supervised by everyone and to take severe and severe punishment measures. ”

Use the key points in troubled times, there is nothing wrong with it! This person's method is the so-called joint sitting, Yang Mingzhi silently chin the hairy stubble thoughtfully.

This commissioner is Stalin's spokesman! Hardship had just not shaken out the fact that Yerentina had ordered the killing of prisoners, and if he investigated it carefully, some of the things that Yerentina did were indeed debatable. For example, she assigned German female nurses to her subordinates, and this group of young men with strong blood had long been in a relationship with these German women.

Salinch King Kong came, and he didn't know about it yet. If he knew this again, it would be a bolt from the blue to learn that the Komsomol members were actually engaged in a relationship with a man and a woman with the authorization of the German prisoners!

I never thought about it so much before, but now I really sweat for her.

Salinchkin stuck his head out, looked at everyone and asked, "How is it?" Do what I decide, and it's going to be fine. If you have any comments, you can still ask. Let me stress again that I basically do not interfere in military affairs, but the party's work style, clean government, and military discipline are my greatest mission! ”

Who else has any doubts? That's impossible! Yang Mingzhi fully expressed his affirmation.

"Very well, you have more than 200 prisoners of war in control, and dozens of German non-combatants, all female nurses. These health care workers seem to be completely loyal to us, and they are not dangerous. But the male captives, you have to be careful when they get together. Now tell me, what are these people doing? Just digging potatoes? ”

"Nope! I thought Comrade Commissioner already knew. Yang Mingzhi shook his head, and his right hand directed to the square: "They are digging for sulfur there." There is a spring deep in the swamp and a sulfur mine nearby. Where do we get the most important materials for the manufacture of gunpowder? ”

This is very novel, Salinchkin's eyes can't help but twitch south: "Very good, the weather is not very good today, maybe there will be rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" Wait until it's a sunny day, and you'll take me to see how you're using these prisoners of war as labor! ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you personally when the weather is fine!" After Yevlov said, he raised his glass again: "Let's stop here for the time being, we still follow the agreement just now, this time we must have a drink!" ”

"That's right! We drink! Ivanov, who was so frightened that he had to hold his mouth, quickly raised his wine glass and tried to help break the embarrassment.
