Chapter IV: Reprimand

"What's going on, why did the Poles build a wall in the middle of the street? Sir, is this a kind of fortification? Randolph frowned, looked at the high wall in front of him, and asked Mueller in a low voice.

"The wall is new, it would never have been more than two weeks to build from the wall, and I don't know why it was built here. But I don't think it's an ordinary reason. Mueller's expression now became strange.

"The gunshots were coming from the other side of the wall. Something terrible must be going on over there. I think we can go the other way, I think something is very wrong there, sir. Hans turned his head to look at Xu Jun.

"Well, let's go the other way, I don't know what's going on there. But I also have a very uncomfortable feeling now. Xu Jun also looked at the tall wall and replied with a frown.

In fact, all the officers present sensed the abnormality of the situation on the other side of the wall. When the gunshots first rang out, they were far away, so they only heard various gunshots. But now that they got closer, they found that the intermittent gunfire was mixed with the miserable cries and screams of countless people, and they could even clearly distinguish that many of the cries were from women and children.

The presence of women and children means that the wall is a residential area, but what is going on there that makes them scream so badly?

The officers suddenly felt as if their chests were being choked by something, and they were a little breathless. They had already vaguely guessed something from the voices. But they all hoped that they had guessed wrong, and that what was happening on the other side of the wall should not be the ugly thing they had in mind. They did not believe that such a thing could happen in a place of great German occupation and domination.

When these officers heard Xu Jun's order to make a detour and move forward, they all involuntarily quickened their pace. They were all desperate to know what was going on on the other side of the wall, and they all wanted to prove their judgment wrong as soon as possible. Because the chaotic shouts and fierce gunshots made the terrible and ugly picture in their minds begin to become clearer and clearer.

"Sir, this street is also blocked by a wall."

"Quick, let's go to the next street, it can't all be sealed there, there is always a way in and out, we will definitely find a way to the other side of the wall, all speed up!"

"Yes, all of us speed up."

Mueller shouted orders. When Müller discovered that several streets were sealed by such high walls, his heart was enveloped by a feeling of heaviness. He was now certain that the walls had been built to systematically isolate an area completely. Why, exactly, these walls were built, Müller did not know, and he was now afraid to know the truth. But now the voices that kept coming from behind the wall were telling him more and more clearly that his judgment might be correct.

While Mueller was thinking nonsense there, Xu Jun's heart was also full of mixed feelings. He finally came into contact with the darkest side of the Nazis, behind the tall brick wall that he had learned about in the history books of the Warsaw Jewish Ghetto, and Xu Jun was now absolutely sure that there was an ugly massacre going on on the other side of the wall. For a history student, this most despicable act in human history is nothing more than a few statistics and words of condemnation. He will be able to see this tragedy with his own eyes today, and Xu Jun really doesn't know what position he should be in. But he was now pleased with the performance of his army officers.

That's what you want to see. If things had gone according to their own plans, the future of Germany and the tragic fate of the victims would have been changed by their own plans, and this would have been the first contribution they could have made to this era.

The small army ran along the wall in search of a way into it, and after four or five intersections, a tall iron fence finally appeared in front of them.

It was a sturdy iron gate, wide enough to pass two German trucks side by side, and in fact the street on the other side of the gate was already full of the two and a half ton military transport trucks common to the German Army. There are two wooden sentinel booths beside the iron gate, which are painted with bright red and white striped patterns. The four guards were chatting lazily on the edge of the sentry box. Their laid-back attitude made people feel as if the fierce gunfire not far away had nothing to do with them at all. They were talking and laughing loudly in the midst of the fierce gunfire.

The two guards wore the uniforms of the Polish army, but they did not have any rank or insignia, and it seems that they were the so-called Polish Self-Defense Army. Two others wore German Army-style uniforms, but they did not bear German Army ranks and insignia. The collars of these uniforms were pale green, and judging by the emblems on the steel helmets of the two guards, they were German security guards.

"Hell, sir, it's those damn scrutinists. I should have known that only these stupid security guards would do such a damn bastard thing. Dogen shouted to Xu Jun.

"I don't know what happened there, I know what people were thinking, but Dogen. We haven't seen it with our own eyes, and we can't be sure of anything. But if those guards try to stop us, gentlemen. You know what you have to do. ”

Xu Jun's cold answer lifted the spirits of all the officers. When they saw the guards guarding the door, their hearts were actually half cold. They were almost certain that their previous guess was correct. I heard the massacre of civilians in front of me. In the eyes of these proud German army officers, these guards were second only to the Gestapo scum, and only the cowardly and despicable mentally retarded gendarmes and Waffen-SS could be compared to them.

After hearing Xu Jun's order, the entire army was filled with a murderous aura. The battle-hardened army officers quickened their march, and the whole small force rushed towards the tall iron gate with great vigour.

The four guards at the door also spotted the German ** team that was rushing quickly. The security guard in the lead, Jingcha, hurriedly stood in the middle of the gate. He was shocked to find that all the officers and soldiers who came to him were regular German army officers and soldiers, and the ratio of officers to soldiers had reached almost one to one. How did the army come here, I haven't been notified like this. The security guard watched suspiciously, as Xu Jun's squadron of officers ran in his direction. No, the security guard felt that the situation was a little bad, and these German ** people who ran towards him seemed to be charging, and they felt the cold light emanating from the eyes of those German ** people from a distance.

"Stop! This is a no-go zone! Please show your ID and orders. The security guard gritted his teeth and raised his hand towards Xu Jun's team, making a gesture to stop advancing.

Just as he was pretending there, Xu Jun and his officers had already rushed in front of him. Under Xu Jun's gesture, everyone stopped in an instant, and then stood behind Xu Jun in a neat formation.

"Are you blocking me from coming in here? Soldier? Xu Jun asked coldly.

The security guard felt a strong chill rush over the German officers and men behind the captain as he spoke.

"Right...... I'm sorry, sir...... Please present your order...... You should have an order from the garrison command. The security guard asked with a shudder.

But the army captain in front of him did not answer his question, the captain just looked at him coldly with a cold look. The security guard sniffed a very dangerous smell, and he quietly shuddered and opened the safety of his rifle, and then he threw a distressed look at his colleagues.

The other three guards standing by the gate also sensed that something was wrong, and they hurriedly picked up their rifles and moved closer to their companions. The two Polish Self-Defense Force soldiers, who did not know the height of the sky, came over and loaded their K98s at the same time.

"Are you trying to stop me from coming in here? Soldier? Xu Jun still had that cold expression and asked the security guard in front of him.

The security guard saw that his companions were already standing behind him, and he felt a little more confident, and he was determined to be loyal to his duty, no matter what happened to the army in front of him, he would never let them in without an order from him. Moreover, early this morning, the commander of the SS in the quarantine area reminded himself that a special operation would be carried out in it today, and that no one could be put in without his written order, otherwise he would not be able to eat and walk around.

He plucked up his courage and gritted his teeth and continued, "Sir, please show your ......"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, a hard rifle butt hit him in the face.

"You ......"

Seeing that their companions were under attack, the three remaining guards raised their rifles. But before they could aim their guns at the target, dozens of German ** officers had already pounced. Thirty seconds later, all four sentries at the post had been completely knocked to the ground. The two German security guards were fine, but they received a few blows to the butts of their rifles. And the two Polish self-defense members were miserable, not to mention how many rifle butts they had on their bodies, and they were beaten and kicked by those German ** officers, and now I believe that even their mothers can't recognize them.

All four guards were knocked unconscious, and even their weapons were dismantled and thrown all over the ground. Xu Jun and his men swaggered into the gate in front of the stunned truck drivers and logistics officers and soldiers near the gate. The officers who walked at the end were still puzzled, and before leaving, they gave the guards who were lying on the ground cramping, and then followed the team away.

"Sir, what the hell is this place, I feel like I'm in hell." An officer covered his nose and asked Xu Jun.

As soon as the team left the gate, they walked in the direction where the gunshots were still ringing. But what they saw along the way made these German officials simply not believe their eyes. Although the streets are lined with sturdy apartments and buildings, the run-down atmosphere is unbearable. All kinds of garbage and filth were scattered everywhere, and even in clear weather, the whole street was still muddy. There are traces of vandalism everywhere on those buildings. Filthy, cursed, and vicious slogans scribbled all over the walls. The streets are piled with all sorts of luggage and clutter. Two or three wild dogs were rummaging through the piles of debris, and when they saw the appearance of Xu Jun's group, they immediately scattered and fled.

"There is not a single living person, this reminds me of the apocalyptic scene." Hans walked cautiously through the streets, trying to avoid the pools of sewage.

"It's a sign of the Jews!" An officer shouted as he pointed to an apartment building on the side of the street, and a huge satellite had been painted with yellow paint on the wall of the apartment.

"Isn't it! Here......"

"This is a ghetto for the Jews! Damn it! No wonder that's the case."

"These Jews never knew what neatness was, no wonder it was dirty like this." Some of the officers began to whisper.

"Who's talking! Stand up for me! ”

Xu Jun stopped abruptly, he turned around and stared fiercely at the officers behind him.

"Whoever spoke in front of me stood in front of me."

Everyone was stunned by the sudden outburst of anger from their commander, Xu Jun's expression was now even more terrifying than that of an angry lion, and his fierce eyes made people shudder.

"Sir, we're talking ahead."

Two low-ranking officers stood tremblingly in front of Xu Jun.

"What are you talking about? Say it again to me! Xu Jun stared at the two officers and said.

"This is a ghetto for the Jews! Damn it! An officer replied with his head bowed.

"And then I said, I said, these Jews never knew what neatness was."

"Do you know why I'm angry?"

"I don't know, sir."

The two officers looked innocent, while the other officers also looked puzzled.

"No one seems to know why I'm angry. Hey......"

Xu Jun shook his head slightly after seeing the expressions of the other officers and sighed.

"Don't you see that this place has just been sacked? Look at the shattered gates and glass. Bullet holes in those walls. And these hastily abandoned luggage. Do you see the blood on the side of the street? And the books that were torn up. All this proves that this place has just gone through a catastrophe.

How can you, as an officer in the German Army, ignore these obvious signs? As it stands, the inhabitants of the area have been forcibly evicted from their homes, and judging by the constant gunfire, they are being slaughtered in a premeditated manner.

Ignorance to me and the Reichstag of what is happening here shows that the leaders of the Third Reich are acting on their own merits, and that the glorious and sacred honour of Germany is being tarnished by the cruel ones. This is something that a righteous German fighter cannot tolerate. Jews and Poles, even if they were guilty, had to be sentenced by a righteous German tribunal before they could be punished. No one has the right to dispose of their lives at will until they are condemned.

No matter how pernicious the Jews may be to our nation, I and our great Führer will not allow such an ugly, unprecedented, despicable massacre to take place in the German-occupied region, for it will cause great harm to the reputation of our great Fatherland.

Now you know why I'm angry. It is a mistake that an emperor must not make to ignore these conspicuous signs and make wrong judgments based on your own impressions because of the Jewish relations that live here. There must be no prejudice, no politics, no race in the eyes of soldiers. There can only be one thing in the eyes of the soldiers, what is beneficial to the motherland and what is harmful to the motherland. What is advantageous can be an ally, and what is harmful will become an enemy. No matter what kind of person he is, what race he is, or what status he is, the mission of the German ** man is to eradicate all the enemies of Germany, do you understand? ”

"Understood, General! We are ashamed of our shallowness. The officers all bowed their heads.

"Well, this is a lesson for you, I don't want my men to be paranoid lunatics. We are all noble officers. As a German officer, the most basic thing is to maintain the conscience of an upright German and maintain a soldier's sense of justice and honor. You see, some innocent people are being viciously slaughtered. The honor of Germany needs to be saved by us soldiers, and we will never allow this to happen in front of our German team. Let's move on. ”

After speaking, Xu Jun turned around and strode towards the place where the gunshots rang out.

After walking two blocks, the small army finally arrived at their destination.

They were completely stunned by the horrific sight they had seen.
