More than 200 "men in black" laid down their weapons, and after that, they were all punched and kicked to varying degrees, and now they were ordered to kneel together and hold their heads tightly. Beside them, there stood a group of heavily armed soldiers, and the machine guns were already set up, as if they were about to open fire.

For these people, it's all over.

These Belarusians, who served Germany for various reasons, became "volunteers of the East" and worked very hard to clear the partisans. They know that they are doing a lot of evil, and once they are caught by the guerrillas, what awaits them is death.

Yang Mingzhi put his hands behind his back and looked at these people expressionlessly.

Balzen snapped his fingers, and the soldiers escorted the battalion commander of the puppet army, Bashoisky.

"Is this this the person who is their leader?" Yang Mingzhi pointed to a slightly puzzled question.

"Yes! Medvedev knows best about this person's affairs. ”

In this battle, the Black Bear Brigade took revenge completely, and Medvedev strode to Yang Mingzhi's side with the attitude of a victor, and hooked his head to spit on the guy who was pressed to the ground. He told the story of these puppet soldiers clearly, and his tone was full of curses and contempt.

"That's it! All right! You don't have to scold anymore! Yang Mingzhi waved his hand.

"Alright! There's no point in scolding this idiot now, in short, this kind of traitor must be shot! ”

As soon as they heard the word shot, the other kneeling people were all stunned.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Balzen decisively leaned over and made a very bold suggestion: "Commander! If you want me to say, we'll just kill them! Anyway, these are traitors, and even if they are taken back, they will be shot. ”

"Really? According to the rules, as long as they are captives, they cannot be killed. ”

"Nope! They are not captives! Balzen pointed out: "They were originally citizens of the Soviet Union, and now they have taken the initiative to join the enemy, which is too hateful!" We can give our captives a life, traitors and spies deserve to be put to death! Besides, there are still dozens of kilometers to take them back to Novgomel, and more than 200 of them have to eat on the way, so we have so much food? They ate the food and went back or were shot, it's a waste! ”

Yang Mingzhi was a Soviet Red Army, but he couldn't do the cold-blooded barbarism of many Soviet soldiers in his heart. The killing of prisoners seemed to him not only bad luck, but also made him feel guilty, even if these people could not escape the death penalty in the end.

On a little thought, Balzen's suggestion was fine.

Thinking about China 2,000 years ago, Bai Qikeng killed Zhao Jun, and Xiang Yukeng killed Qin Jun. One of the reasons why a mass massacre took place was that it was precisely because of the lack of food for its own army that it could provide rations for hundreds of thousands of enemy prisoners.

The same is true of the problems that were in front of the Soviet army!

Yang Mingzhi didn't say anything first, but immediately started a military meeting. All the battalion commanders, including Medvedev and Peroniski, were present one by one.

"Comrades, this military operation is over, and then our whole army will retreat, and we must pass the Pripet River the day after tomorrow, when we will be completely safe......"

Yang Mingzhi set the next plan of action, in short, to go all the way east, along the stream that eventually joins the Pripet River, and basically no more enemies.

"This time we easily eliminated a puppet army, and we got at least five hundred guns. I order, weapons to be distributed at once to the able-bodied, so that we can fight more than four thousand men! ”

"With four thousand troops, no one can stop us!" Joshua said hopefully.

"That's right! We still have forty kilometres to go before we cross the Pripet River! I chose this path, especially in Balzen you know very well. That's right, it was in July last year that we retreated along this road into the swamp and into the village of Catfish. ”

The past was brought up, and on that occasion the troops were not hindered in any way, and tens of thousands of people entered the swamp safety zone. This time, the team of more than 8,000 people will also be safe and sound.

The meeting soon ended, and the other battalion commanders and temporary officers received orders to immediately pack their bags and set out at 3 p.m. At that time, there were still three and a half hours before it was completely dark, and even if the whole army marched slowly, it would still be able to cover ten kilometers.

Originally, there was a lot of food in this operation, but until now, twice as many people have been rescued as those who participated in the operation, and even if a lot of food is captured, it is still very difficult to satisfy 8,000 mouths.

In fact, even in a state of semi-starvation, a person can still walk a long distance, after all, man is an extremely enduring animal. Yang Mingzhi didn't want to do this, now that the grain has been divided, the remaining grain is only two days' amount. In everything, we can only hope that everyone can move faster, as long as they reach the crossing of the Pripet River, reinforcements will be waiting with a large amount of ready-made bread.

Everyone left, but Balzen was left alone, and the commander's behavior made him a little puzzled.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Yang Mingzhi whispered, "Balzen, I have carefully considered your proposal just now. ”

"Really?! If you insist on bringing those people, I have no opinion! I carry out any military orders. ”

"Oh? Did I say bring those guys? Yang Mingzhi's intriguing response made Balzen very puzzling.

After a while, he also became excited: "The commander really wants to destroy them?" ”

Affirmation or denial, Yang Mingzhi did not say it at all, "Balzen, now that the majority of the troops have entered the forest, only your people continue to keep those people in custody on the river beach. At three o'clock, the army will be withdrawn, and your reconnaissance battalion will be the last to leave. When you're done, come over quickly. ”

Balzen had an epiphany, and they all said that the Chinese spoke very reservedly, and the commander was worthy of his name. Perhaps, because he has to do "wet work", this kind of thing cannot be regarded as glorious, so the military commander deliberately avoided it.

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon came quickly, and the battle ended quickly, and the people who had been terrified quickly settled down. When it was learned of the crushing victory of the Soviet army, the people also had hope.

Yang Mingzhi stayed in the camp at the moment, waiting for three o'clock to come.

All the rescued Soviet prisoners of war have been promised safety, and hundreds of them have been rearmed and directly served as escorts for the ranks. This situation is undoubtedly a powerful reassurance, and thousands of people know that in Novgomel, in the swamps, there are large stocks of guns and other weapons. Entering that guerrilla zone, what awaits is not punishment, but rejoining the army.

They also understood that the Tatar-like officer who saved them would be their highest officer, and his promise of safety was a military order.

At three o'clock, everyone embarked on the journey home. More than 8,000 men marched along the planned route, with non-combatants in the middle, and all the armed men surrounding the procession.

According to common sense, the elite reconnaissance battalion should have advanced west ahead of the large army, after all, they were the pioneers, but these people did not know where to go.

It wasn't until the whole army had been walking for nearly half an hour that many people heard the muffled sound of gunfire, which came from the rear of the line......

The soldier instinctively embraced his weapon, but soon understood the reason for the dense gunfire.

Just two kilometers away from the procession, the captured "men in black" were executed for treason. They were first ordered to take off their clothes, wear only their underwear, and knelt en en masse by the stream, and the machine guns wiped them all out like mowing grass.

The wet soldiers did not say anything, they checked the clothes, took off the eagle emblem, tied the clothes and boots, carried them behind their backs, and the whole battalion ran towards the large army, which had not yet gone far......
