During the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union, the German army treated Soviet prisoners of war very simply and rudely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The wounded of the Soviet troops were generally executed on the spot, and the Germans occupied the Soviet field hospital and immediately began to massacre. As for the prisoners who were not injured, the Germans would first ask questions, and the political commissars, members of the CPSU, Jews and Gypsies, etc., were separated and shot on the spot.

The concept of the German army for the Soviet army, these Soviet soldiers can only fight well under the leadership of political commissars and officers. Without them, the soldiers would be scattered, like a flock of weak chickens or a flock of cowardly sheep. Moreover, the Soviet Union did not accede to the Geneva Conventions, and prisoners did not enjoy prisoner of war treatment.

After the start of the war, the Germans never expected that three major victories would be 400,000 prisoners of war in Belarus, 700,000 prisoners of war in Kiev, and 700,000 prisoners of war in Vyazma. By December, the Germans had captured more than two million prisoners of war, and for these people the Nazi authorities had not yet carried away by the ideology of the National Society.

The Slavs were to be transported as coolies to the rear, even to Germany proper. They will be engaged in the most dangerous jobs, such as mining and digging coal.

Balzen was the first to reach the front line of the road, and he immediately launched his troops to reconnoitre.

He commanded: "All of you, you must be in good spirits at the various posts. Records must be made when enemy transport vehicles and the like pass by your outposts. It is necessary to make clear statistics on the number of enemy vehicles, the number of personnel, and even the weapons and equipment. ”

In doing so, Balzen fulfilled his duty as a scout, and as a scout, he had to find out the enemy's situation in the shortest possible time. There is only one day, and how many enemies have passed through this whole day on this road, will be an important data reference for future battles.

The soldiers lay in ambush in the snow, and they were well hidden with white cloths.

There are some small woods around the ambush site, which is a relatively narrow road, and it is ideal for large troops to ambush here. At that time, the combat soldiers of the unit can hide in the woods, and after that, it is easy to cover the enemy with light and heavy fire.

At nine o'clock in the morning, more than two dozen trucks with red cross canvases passed by, and the soldiers even saw the woman inside the truck - it was paramedics, who were caring for the wounded.

Balzen raised his glasses, and he could see very clearly. How many injured people can a truck move? He estimated that there must have been twenty of them, and this time the transport was nearly a battalion of wounded.

By eleven o'clock, there was another convoy of medical personnel, this time as many as forty trucks.

"The Germans must have suffered a lot in Moscow, and it would be better that they would not have transported the wounded in such large numbers." Balzen muttered to himself, and the warriors beside him were suddenly full of confidence.

"It seems that our counterattack has really worked, and these aggressors will also taste defeat." A soldier said.

"Sooner or later, they're going to fail. Inform all the sentries that they are not allowed to be exposed today, let alone shoot, and that they must not disturb the enemy at any time, and that we just need to keep an eye on them. ”

The scouts lay quietly in the snow and silently recorded until two o'clock in the afternoon, when about a company of German soldiers was actually escorting a battalion of Soviet prisoners of war.

As for the prisoners of war, the scouts had seen them yesterday, and they were eager to rescue them, but they were ordered not to interfere with them.

Balzen ordered the herald to run again and explain the discipline.

He held a telescope and stared at these dejected prisoners of war, and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at these, if they die in battle, they will be martyrs, but they will become prisoners." If we save them, we can still go back to the battlefield to wash the stain, but there is nothing we can do. Many of these people are afraid to die in German prisoner of war camps. Balzen spat again. Really, the death of the nest is not a fight to the death. ”

For these prisoners of war, the Soviet soldiers were very conflicted. On the one hand, to rescue them to become their comrades and continue to fight, on the other hand, they have finally surrendered, are cowards, and are despicable.

This is only a battalion of prisoners of war, and intelligence indicates that there will be 4,000 prisoners of war, who will cross this road tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and they may be escorted in one or divided into several groups. Gomel's underground party did a good job, and the basic time for the German army to escort prisoners of war had been set.

When the war in Homnich began, Gomel was the first to get the news. The underground city party committee was very nervous and worried that the escort situation would change, but the spy personnel learned that the escort was still carried out on time.

"I really don't understand what the 284th Division is doing, they captured Homnich at this time, and the Germans still escorted the prisoners on time. They claim to be going to rescue the captives, is that what they are saying? The underground mayor was puzzled, he and his colleagues had not yet thought that this was actually a tactic.

The troops led by Yang Mingzhi hurried to the road, and finally after the sun set, they met with Balzen's men.

Several scouts saluted excitedly: "Comrade Deputy Division Commander, you have finally arrived!" ”

"Yes, here we are. Lead me to your company commander. ”

The two met in the woods, and Balzen didn't say anything polite, and directly handed the notebook to Yang Mingzhi. The light was very dim at night, the moon was in the sky, and Yang Mingzhi still had difficulty reading the notes in the notebook.

Seeing this, Balzen immediately found a big stall with two cats in a blanket.

"Hehe, I seem to be a scout like you." Yang Mingzhi joked.

"No way, we need this to conceal it. I hope that our large army will not make a fire tonight, let alone shout loudly. The Germans will march at night! ”

"Don't worry, I also understand these situations, and the fighters will be disciplined."

Balzen smiled and turned on the flashlight, Yang Mingzhi flipped through the notebook, and on the last page, this is the reconnaissance data of the reconnaissance company during the day today.

"There are quite a lot of enemy convoys!" Yang Mingzhi sighed, "There were two convoys transporting the wounded in the morning, three escorting prisoners of war in the afternoon, and another convoy transporting the wounded. ”

"Yes, in the evening, you turn to the previous page."

What Yang Mingzhi saw was the record of yesterday night, the scouts had been watching all night, and the Germans had three convoys at night, and they were flying with their headlights. Yang Mingzhi closed his notebook and asked; "That's all you have to keep track of?"

"Yes sir!"

"Very good, very informative document. Now I have just received definite information that tomorrow morning the Germans will escort the prisoners of war from Gomel to Poland, and they will take a train to the northwest in Mozyr to the German mainland. We have always agreed to Gomel's demands, but we have never revealed our battle plans. I think the battle in Homnich has stunned the enemy, and tomorrow is the time for us to free the prisoners of war, so order your men to start preparing at once! ”

Balzen was excited, finally there was another war, and the soldiers were already crazy, and these could be vented to the Germans.

Yang Mingzhi immediately organized a meeting of all company-level commanders and issued combat orders.

"Our ambush is lined up according to the outposts that Balzen had set up before. Yevgeny, your men are in the west, and the Maxim heavy machine gun is yours. Ravlenty, to the east of your battalion, ZB57 heavy machine guns belong to you. Joshua, your women's barracks follow me in the middle. The remainder of the guard company was separated from the reconnaissance company, and there was also the junior battalion, which was in the middle of my guard. ”

The fighters immediately went into action, and each of the three battalions had two radios to communicate with each other. They have already begun to move, including female soldiers, and have begun to assemble the defensive line on the spot.

To Yang Mingzhi's relief, these women were well trained, digging foxholes, and building simple fortifications, there was no problem at all.

Yang Mingzhi didn't have to hold the shovel himself, and he also stopped the actions of his two girls. "Bethica, Natasha, hurry up and get something to eat, and leave the matter of digging a pit and resting to the guard company. Eat your rations at once, get ready to sleep, and tomorrow's battle to free the prisoners of war, you will still be of great use. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, the shovel still on the ground. They were really tired, and it was a lot of trouble to ride a sleigh all day. Yang Mingzhi sat down and had dinner with them naturally. Bread and canned food and salted fish jerky. (To be continued.) )
