Chapter 203: The Army of Exterminators

Tukhachevsky was not worried about the problems of His Royal Highness, compared to the lieutenant officer, there were more troublesome problems that needed to be solved urgently. www.biquge.info It is not that this is not the need to guard against the large-scale counterattack and retaliation of the Kwantung Army, but now that Tokyo has been turned upside down, the Kwantung Army, whose strength has been damaged, will not dare to make any big moves even if it has three more dares -- the corpses of the Japanese troops left on the battlefield have become the most important issue that the comrades in chief need to be concerned about at present!

Nearly 50,000 Japanese corpses need to be disposed of, and the remains of thousands of martyrs need to be buried, the amount of work required is simply astronomical, and in Lin Jun's opinion, it is even more troublesome than destroying the two divisions of the Japanese army!

Now the weather is very hot during the day and cold at night, so tossing back and forth on the battlefield that is already full of bloody smell will soon stink to the sky, and if you don't get those tens of thousands of Japanese corpses will lead to the spread of the epidemic, it will not be fun!

As soon as Tukhachevsky gave the order, more than 100,000 Red Army commanders and fighters immediately drew out half of their forces and concentrated on disposing of the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the spot according to the current garrison situation, and strictly ordered that all the corpses must be properly disposed of within three days.

The order was issued, and Lin Jun also volunteered to command the "corpse extermination army" and became the "chief commander of the Halaha River funeral". 50,000 corpses, this is not a small number, and when it is distributed to the head of the corpse extermination army, it is one head per person.

What if you don't have enough tools? Put down the firearm, pick up the bayonet, and dig slowly! Fortunately, there were a lot of captured Japanese bayonets: they were reluctant to use their own, and those spears couldn't withstand anything, plus all kinds of strange digging tools barely made do.

For a time, a huge "sanitation campaign" began in an area of 400 square kilometers, and all units, under the leadership of their respective commanders, showed their talents, as long as they could dispose of corpses quickly and safely, all the methods were used. In the "scope of activity," wolf smoke was everywhere and dust was flying, and Lin Jun was very conscientious in running around, tossing and turning between various positions to "guide the work", and also quickly taught the advanced tactics of some troops to those units that lagged behind in the progress of work.

"The wisdom of the people is limitless!" On the first day of serving as the commander-in-chief of corpse extermination, Lin Jun exclaimed like this!

The bodies of his martyrs were all transported back to the west bank of the Haraha River, and after being registered, they were buried according to military rites and a unified cemetery was established. As for the corpses of Japanese soldiers, since they were only ordered to collect the corpses of Japanese officers at or above the rank of rank and file, dispose of them with lime and then store them in a centralized and temporary manner, the other corpses were only required to "not pollute the environment." On the issue of exterminating corpses, the various units fully demonstrated the "strength of the masses" and the characteristics of the troops, and all kinds of high-level tricks continued.

The 602nd Infantry Regiment used the method of making full use of the terrain: due to the lack of tools and the lack of large-scale excavation tools, it used the trenches originally dug by the Japanese army according to local conditions and adopted the soil burial method, and regarded the trenches on the west side of the position that had not yet been blown up as "pits of a thousand people".

Speaking of this, Lin Jun also had to admire Tukhachevsky's foresight before the war, and when the transportation of military supplies and personnel was already tight, he also ordered the troops to transport several truckloads of quicklime from Chita, which had been transported to the west bank of the Haraha River by car fleet before the general offensive, and now it is just being used. Although the number of heads that can be distributed to each corpse is pitiful, it is better than nothing.

Sprinkle a layer of lime on the bottom of the trench, throw two rows of corpses on it, sprinkle another layer, and then bury it with earth, in the words of the soldiers: "Absolutely environmentally friendly, without polluting the pasture and water." ”

The time spent digging was saved, and the burial was always fast, and the 602nd Regiment cleaned up the position it was responsible for in less than a day. Lin Jun saw that the soldiers would also check the personal belongings of the corpse before disposing of the corpse, and if it was a document, it would be handed in, and the photos and the like could be regarded as humanitarian: just accompany those dead ghosts to the underground.

Because there will always be some "souvenirs" for cleaning the battlefield and inspecting the corpses, Lin Jun only has a very simple instruction for this: "All standard weapons except bayonets should be handed in, precious metals and documents should be handed in, and nothing else will be counted." ”

Lin Jun's order surprised the soldiers, so that many small toys could be used as souvenirs for themselves, such as those taken from the hands of Japanese officers and military officers, could be privately owned: many Red Army soldiers still did not have a tool to keep time.

Of course, it is absolutely not permissible to have an argument for the sake of "souvenirs", and what there is depends on the luck of the individual. Those who are too lucky, find a silver pocket watch or something like a "souvenir" in the officer's pocket, dare to stuff it into his pocket, it depends on his guts, and in principle the officer does not intervene.

The 36th Mechanized Infantry Division, near the southern end of the battlefield, had a different method of exterminating corpses from the core position, because it had an engineering battalion and two rare bulldozers and excavators, and used large-scale earthwork: digging several large deep pits and throwing them in, and then bulldozers pushed them.

However, the 36th Division was so responsible that the engineering battalion could not be busy at full capacity, and some discarded wood was found from nearby, so it was proposed to partially adopt the cremation method: a large layer of wood was spread on top of a layer of corpses, and then a layer of wood was laid on top of each other, and the layers were stacked to form a majestic mountain of corpses. Then the "mountain" was firmly tied with several wire ropes, and finally gasoline was poured from top to bottom, and the hidden danger of the epidemic was completely eliminated after the fire was blazing.

After watching the "volcano performance" for a while, Lin Jun asked the division commander Petrov: "Who came up with this idea?" ”

"Hehe, it's me."

It can be seen that the division commander is very satisfied with his creativity.

Lin Jun glared at Petrov, and he didn't stop until he looked straight at him.

"You are ruthless, you have the potential to be the commander of a death camp! You can even think of the last trick of Auschwitz! Lin Jun thought viciously.

"When the time comes, collect the bones, and if you negotiate, give these bones that you have dealt with here to little Japan."

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

Compared to the full of neutrality just now, Petrov's answer was obviously a little wilting: he didn't plan to let the troops burn and pay attention to the bones at all, and now his troops will not be a professional crematorium.

When Lin Jun arrived at the "defense area" of the First Mechanized Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he scolded the "loser" as soon as he got out of the car!

The comrades are piling up the corpses one by one and are working with several T-130 Spitfire tanks!

"Fekochinov, you have a lot of oil!"

"Hehe, chief, that's enough to deal with."

To the "questioning" of his old chief, Fekochinov had to answer "carefully".

"Forget it, the logistics of your troops are not comparable to other brother troops, and you are not required to use hoes and shovels. This processing is not efficient, can the task be completed? ”

"It should be no problem, the comrades are very energetic."

"Nonsense! It's almost dead, of course! ”

When he went to his former confidential secretary, he was not just "inspecting the work of exterminating corpses," but he also had to learn from Fekochinov about the actual combat performance of the new troops.

"Chief, the specific combat report will be handed in after a while, and the statistics on the results of the battle and the meritorious personnel are also in progress. This time our new tank played a powerful assault role, and only one T34 of all the new tanks that participated in the battle was damaged by an explosive pack, and today it has been repaired. ”

"Those tanks of the Japanese are not at all on the same level as ours, there is nothing to be happy about, our real opponents are not those small iron boxes. Just now I went to see the Japanese tanks destroyed by you and the 11th Tank Brigade, and they were all just rubbish bullying and bullying the infantry, so that the 76mm tank guns fell apart. ”

After saying a while, Fekochinov's expression looked a little mysterious: "Chief, I just handed in a few things today, and I haven't had time to hand them in yet." ”

"Haha, you kid!"

Lin Jun laughed heartily when he saw the large pile of Japanese command knives he had brought out: Fekochinov had not forgotten his special hobby.

"Chief, 5 generals command knives, and other officer command knives are also here." Fekochinov took out a captain's saber with a strip of cloth wrapped around it from a pile of command knives: "This is the Japanese prince's saber, just put it away." ”

Taking the saber, Lin Junzai looked at it carefully: "Good knife!" The Japanese royal family's playfulness is probably still an old antique. ”

**Of course, the saber of the emperor's son-in-law will not be an ordinary product, at first glance, it is at least a good thing at the level of "new sword" or above, Lin Jun unceremoniously accepted Fekochinov's "souvenir". Then he chose the most pleasing one of the five generals' sabers, and also selected a dozen officers' knives: "Alyosha, wrap it up and put it in my car." Fekochinov, the rest will be sent, to Moscow. ”

"Yes, Chief."

It was only at night that he returned to Tukhachevsky's command, where the commander-in-chief was waiting for him.

"I just got a telegram from the Japanese embassy saying that their government wants to hold peace talks with us, and the Kremlin has ordered us to maintain the status quo for the time being."

"Little Japan has only become smart now." Lin Jun took the message.

"Andre, I heard that you like to collect knives, so I handed in a batch of them below, and you can see if there is anything pleasing to the eye as a souvenir."

Lin Jun blinked his eyes a few times: "I have already made some points in the headquarters of the first division just now, no need." ”

"You're fast enough!" Tukhachevsky looked at Lin Jun and thought. (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.) )
