Lin Jun just nodded slightly, and didn't say much, the central government's decision was completely expected, but he didn't expect to notify himself in this effort: it was too urgent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared with the temperature of almost minus 30 degrees outside, the cabin of the armored transport vehicle is much warmer, and there is heating here according to Soviet characteristics, and the driver is waiting for the engine to start 20 minutes before the arrival of Lin Jun's landline according to the order.

A relatively large fleet of alert vehicles, with 12 new armored transport vehicles alone. At the head of the convoy were six M72 tricycles with пд7.62 machine guns mounted above the front of the sidecar. There were three people on each motorcycle, including the driver, and the members in the back seat pulled the assault rifles directly in their hands, because the convoy was very likely to "encounter" the Germans tonight.

There is a small turret on the armored transport vehicle, and the 14.5 mm large-caliber machine gun is eyeing the tiger, and almost all of them are on the top of the "infantry fighting vehicle"! At the end of the convoy were three 1.5-ton small trucks full of soldiers - this would be the full set of the deputy commander-in-chief for his trip in Minsk, and if it weren't for the fact that the Germans had surrendered, Zhukov would probably have prepared a team of T34s for Lin Jun!

It is precisely because the Germans have surrendered that a large part of the surrendered German troops will be escorted to the east through the city, and some of the lucky ones may enjoy the treatment of staying in stuffy tanks for a long time and being sent directly to the Siberian labor camps, and it is difficult to say if they are unlucky.

As soon as the convoy entered the city, it saw blazing fire on both sides of the road, burning oil drums and fires every other section, and Red Army soldiers were driving one German army after another to the east with guns and bayonets.

Through the firing port and observation hole prepared for the AK47, Lin Jun in the car can see a rough idea: just like in his memory, the Red Army soldiers who were on escort duty outside were not polite to these surrendered Germans at all, and some of the prisoners walked a little slowly and directly smashed them with the butt of their guns!

If you don't go out of your way to ask these escorted soldiers, they have relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms who died in the war, and you can expect them to be merciful to the captured fascists?! That's impossible!

"Stop." Lin Jun said to Landscoc, who was sitting next to him.

"Marshal, are you going to get out of the car? This will not be completely cleared up yet. "The captain of the guard did not want the marshal to appear in front of a large group of German prisoners of war in escort, and to equip the deputy commander with such a convoy of armed arms to the teeth was to prevent the emergence of a bunch of German prisoners who were not long-sighted.

In the dim light, Landscoch couldn't see Lin Jun's expression clearly, but knew that the marshal would not blame himself for his "mouthy".

"Go down and tell the escort officer to send as many German prisoners as possible to the rear. You tell them that there is a need for labor in the rear, and don't you find out that the captives are very good miners? ”

"Yes, Marshal." Landscoch was no fool: the hundreds of thousands of captives captured throughout the campaign were strong laborers, and the coolies used for heavy physical work were a real treasure! As for whether there is any violation of international law - this is not in the consciousness of the Cossacks to take into account, even the deputy commander-in-chief said so, that is the truth!

Not a party to the Hague Convention, all this is a matter of course! Did the USSR keep a group of fascist prisoners of war for nothing? Lin Jun doesn't have that many resources on hand! If 10,000 prisoners of war consumed hundreds before being escorted to Siberia, it would be acceptable, but looking at the posture outside, it is estimated that it is not impossible to lose half of it, and Lin Junke, who is the titular "logistics boss", is in pain!

"Remind all the escort troops of the demand for escorting the prisoners, lest they all die halfway!"

Escorting prisoners of war is a chore, as is the case in armies all over the world: reports of "prisoner riots" are common, especially with some tacit approval. This will make Lin Jundu feel that he seems to have two horns on his head, a Western-style demon, at least in the future, the Germans will see themselves like this. However, compared to Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria, who has few laborers on hand and is waiting for fascist prisoners of war in Siberia, the sharp corners on Lin Jun's head will obviously be much shorter!

You can be cruel to your own people, not to mention the fascists. However, Beria is not only an executioner, but also very capable, as history proves, and he will use all the resources at his disposal to the fullest.

At Landscoch's signal, the entire convoy paused for a moment: to the tired German prisoners of war outside, the soldiers of this convoy were so terrifying in the flickering light of the fire, and they looked like they would fire machine guns at any moment!

However, it was clear that the disembarking officer had been very effective in giving his account to the officers of the escort team, and the vicious Soviet soldiers no longer beat the prisoners who could not keep up with the queue, but allowed the other prisoners of war to carry him on his back.

Most of the captives didn't bother to think about it, but there were still a handful of people who thought they must have met a good guy just now - but their not very bright minds, tormented by the cold and hunger, could not have imagined that this "good man" had ulterior motives, and their tragic escort journey had just begun, and what was even more terrifying was that they did not know that there was a man named Beria waiting for them in Siberia!

The convoy started again, and Lin Jun in the car knew that including the team of prisoners of war he had just met, none of the more than 300,000 German prisoners captured this time could return to Germany alive, and it would be good if one or two thousand could return to their hometown alive.

"Mercy" - this word does not apply to relations with the Soviet Union.

Such a high mortality rate for prisoners of war cannot be considered solely as the reason for the Soviet Union's policy towards prisoners of war, Lin Jun suddenly thought of something in the carriage that he remembered very lightly, if it wasn't for the encounter with the German prisoners of war just now, he didn't know if he would have thought about it.

Now it occurred to him that this must be a good thing for the Soviet Union and the Soviet people, otherwise after the end of the war, a period of suffering would still plague the Soviet Union - this suffering is the famine that the Soviets talk about!

Lin Jun can interfere with the construction of the army and the country, and interfere with the course of the war, but he is also a person and not a god, he can't control the weather!

In 1946 there will be a serious natural disaster in the USSR, which will lead to a large-scale reduction in agricultural production! At that time, the citizens of the Soviet Union will once again starve, not to mention the food rationed to the prisoners of war, and a large number of Japanese and German prisoners of war will be starved to death!

Although the famine was not as terrible as the "Ukrainian ******", it was so severe that the Red Army could not even give enough food to the Red Army soldiers who were guarding the prisoner of war camps! The ration in the prisoner of war camps at that time dropped sharply, and the daily ration of the prisoners of war and the Red Army soldiers in charge of the care was only 3 potatoes!

The Red Army fighters had only three potatoes a day! The most important cause of the mass death of Japanese and German prisoners of war in history was not the "concentration camp-style abuse" that the West deliberately emphasized and slandered, but famine!

"If the war in Europe can be ended in 44 years, the country will have a buffer period, if it waits until 45 years......" Lin Jun sighed in his heart: the Soviet Union in the forties was also full of disasters, and this tone was not for those prisoners of war, but for the people who believed in communism.

As for the handling of prisoners of war, that Beria will not disappoint the center.

The convoy arrived at the headquarters of the Belarusian Front, and Lin Jun walked quickly to the direction of the war room as soon as he got out of the car. It was very lively here today, different from the tense atmosphere before Lin Jun left last time, everyone had confidence and smiles on their faces, because they had just won a huge battle!

Along the way, everyone was saluting Lin Jun, and their eyes revealed fanaticism! Lin Jun didn't bother to reply, and went straight into the war room: As expected, Zhukov was here, but he didn't expect that the bearded Marshal Budyonny was also there.

"Andrei Nikolaevich." The two commanders of the front army stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Jun tightly: Now this time, both of them can call Lin Jun in such the most affectionate way.

"The central authorities need to understand the situation on the latest front in the west as soon as possible, and there is also a need to get a good grasp of the work of sweeping up the tail end after the battle." Lin Jun took off his coat, and there was no need for the heavy coat on his body here, "It's a mess of bad books, this damn weather!" ”

In late January, the temperature near Minsk has dropped to an unbearable level, and now it is the coldest time of the year, often dropping to minus 40 degrees Celsius in the second half of the night! The Red Army ended the campaign with logistical supplies and strong will at all costs, and such temperatures made it difficult for the Red Army, which was adapted to fighting in severe cold conditions!

"The new front needs to be consolidated, and the front-line troops must immediately go into the trenches and fortifications for the winter. The campaign captured an almost astronomical amount of German equipment, much of which was still useful, but this recovery plan could be slowed down a little. There are also troops that need to be reorganized, and the first difficulty facing them at the moment is the winterization of the field troops, and the railway from Minsk to Stolbuch needs to be repaired as soon as possible, which requires manpower and equipment. The only good news is that the Germans will not conduct a large-scale military operation against us, at least until the end of the muddy season, so that we will have at least three months to prepare for the next strategic move. ”

Zhukov's General Staff is already preparing an overall report to the Central Committee, and the first report will be available tomorrow.

"There is no need to worry about logistics, the material guarantee for the winter can meet the needs of the troops, and I can guarantee this." Lin Jun glanced at Budyonny, who was wiping his beard on the side, "Including our war horses, high-quality feed ensures sufficient supply." ”

The two commanders of the front army were well prepared, and Lin Jun didn't need to point fingers, "Semyon Mikhailovich, how is the situation of the reserve front?" ”

Lin Jun also had a rare humor, and made a knife-wielding chopping motion with his arm.

"The 1st Cavalry Guards Army did a good job, like chasing rabbits! The 1st Cavalry Division of the Germans was also confronted, but the boys said that it was a pity that there was no cavalry-to-cavalry battle. The Germans didn't have horses, but it's a pity that the good Hanover horses. ”

The excellent Hanover horse became an emergency food, which was a pity for the bearded Budyonny! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
