Chapter 1217: The Belarusian Liberation Army (2) (Plus 1)

Reinhardt didn't come on a whim.

Reinhardt, who was often in the wolf's den, was well aware of Ciric's strategy, and he knew very well how hard it would be for the Soviet Union to join the captured Soviet army once they joined Germany and became its servants.

It was very helpful to break the will of the Soviet army, so he was always planning how to make this happen quickly.

Now that the entire territory of Belarus has been solved and hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers have been captured, this plan has been officially implemented.

At the same time, just before he was going to come here to inspect, he had just received Order No. 270 from the Soviets, and when he took this order, Reinhardt couldn't believe that he had such good luck.

"Stalin himself said that there were only martyrs in the Soviets, no prisoners and deserters." Reinhardt's second sentence stunned everyone present.

There are only martyrs, no captives and deserters, what does this phrase mean? As long as you go to the battlefield, you will either win or die, there is no other way!

Lieutenant General Kacharov lowered his head and did not dare to look at Reinhardt above, who, as a senior commander, knew more clearly what the meaning of this phrase meant.

This is to force the soldiers on the front line to fight to the death, so what about the soldiers who have already surrendered?

"Here's what it looks like." Reinhardt began to read the military rule: "All units and units surrounded by the enemy must fight to the end without hesitation... If your own troops are surrounded by the enemy ... Fight to the end and break through the blockade. If an officer or soldier does not organize active resistance, counterattacking the enemy, but chooses to surrender, then they can be eliminated by any means from the air or on the ground. The families of members of the Red Army who surrendered to the enemy were deprived of the state rights and assistance they enjoyed. ”

Don't even let your own family go?

"No, it can't be!" One of the soldiers present immediately shouted: "I have four brothers in my family, all of whom joined the army, my eldest brother and second brother have all died in battle, although I surrendered, they cannot punish my family!" ”

His reaction made the German guardians present stunned for a moment, and a quick-eyed guard, holding the butt of his gun, was about to smash it at his body.

"Stop!" Reinhardt said.

The butt of the rifle did not fall in mid-air, and Reinhardt's finger pointed at the fighter: "What is your name, which unit?" ”

"Kulimich, 12th Infantry Division." The fighter said.

Reinhardt held a small notebook in his hand, flipped it quickly, turned more than a dozen pages, and finally turned it: "Fortunately, I have your information here, your mother's name is Catherine, right?" ”

"Yes." The warrior nodded, "You actually know my mother?" ”

"Because she was already famous in the Soviets." "As the mother of the surrenderer, she has been shot," Reinhardt said. ”

"No, no!" Kurimic cried out in pain: "How is this possible? I surrender, what does it have to do with my mother? I was unconscious, and when I woke up, I was already in the prisoner of war camp! No, it's absolutely impossible! ”

"If you want exact information, in a few days, we may get a photo, a picture of your mother being shot, there was a public trial meeting in the whole village at that time, your mother would not have been shot, just like several other women, just bow her head and admit her mistake, but she didn't, she firmly believed that she was the hero's mother, and she was executed on the spot."

Accidental? Not unexpectedly, in the great purge a few years ago, there were too many such episodes, and if you are not careful, you will be captured and shot as an enemy, and those who do not admit their mistakes honestly will be threatened at any time.

The Soviet Union, when did it pay more attention to human life? Unjust, false and wrongful convictions are everywhere.

Kurimich's tears fell to the ground, and his hands clenched into fists.

"What is there to be nostalgic for such a Soviet? In Stalin's eyes, you are all pawns with or without you, your lives are simply insignificant, and it is their pride to warn those who intend to surrender in this way. Reinhardt continued: "Is such a Soviet worth defending with your lives? Do you still have nostalgia for the Soviets all these years? How many of your relatives were innocently killed during the Great Purge, and how is this regime different from the Tsarist era? ”

"I am willing to join the Belarusian Liberation Army." Kurimic was the first to stand up: "I'm not going to let my own mother die unjustly. ”

"What about you? Now, if you want to save your own relatives, there is only one way, that is, to stabilize the order in Belarus and let the German army quickly liberate your homeland, so that your mother will be regarded as a hero, not a traitor, will not be shot, take up the weapons in your hands, and fight for the honor of your family! ”

Reinhardt's agitation was successful: "The Soviet Union, like the Tsarist Russia, is rotten, without any humanity at all, in the tsarist era, you were serfs, without personal rights, now, in the Soviet Union, you are still ruled by a centralized system, you also have no personal rights, now, it is time to break this old system and fight for freedom and fairness!" ”

Reinhardt's words inspired more people, who came forward one after another and gathered in another place.

Reinhardt was very satisfied.

The German army had to move fast, they had to take advantage of the blitzkrieg, and try to get rid of Moscow before winter came, or even rush to Moscow the next month.

But the rear is still unstable.

For example, in Belarus, in addition to a large number of Soviet troops surrendering and a small part of them breaking out of the encirclement, there was also a part of the Soviet army that went into the forests and mountains and began a guerrilla war.

They would have sabotaged the German rear lines of transport and held back the advance of the main German forces, which Germany could not divide against in order to advance quickly to Moscow.

The meaning of the existence of the Belarusian People's Liberation Army lies in this, let them go directly to the front line to fight with the Soviet army, they will have psychological obstacles, let them under the leadership of German instructors, eliminate the Soviet partisans, restore peace in Belarus, especially protect the safety of the railway and highway lines, it is their duty.

They could greatly reduce the pressure on the German army.

As long as their hands are stained with the blood of their own people, it will be easier to drive them to war.

As for those who refuse to become the Belarusian Liberation Army, let them die in hard labor, the road is their choice, and Germany does not need useless people who waste food.

"Mr. Lieutenant General, what are your plans?" Before stepping off the podium, Reinhardt asked Lieutenant General Kacharov.
