Chapter 228: The Captives (I)

And these prisoners are now all wooden, in the face of the rudeness of the Soviet soldiers there is no reaction at all, and seeing that the road is so blocked Andrei decided to go on foot to inspect, when their group walked through the queue of prisoners on the side of the road, they found that now many soldiers have begun to search the German prisoners to put small objects such as watches into their pockets, Andrei knew that this is the norm so he did not stop it, just as Andrei and they walked along the queue, suddenly a prisoner left the queue and came to Andrei, But Yushchenko and two guard fighters next to him immediately came over, Yushchenko kicked the prisoner to the ground with one kick, and three assault rifles were aimed directly at the prisoner, and the three guns of "Da Da Da" shot the captive directly in the head!

Andrei looked at this scene and had a different idea in his heart, these German soldiers have long since lost their original teeth and claws and have become a group of lambs to be slaughtered, but thinking of the crimes of the Germans on the territory of the Soviet Union, Andrei can't help but be entangled.

In this way, they continued along the road to the factory area, where General Zakharov of the Front was waiting for Andrei's arrival, and after greetings, Andrei asked about the placement of the prisoners, and Andrei said: "Comrade General, after the transport line capacity is fully restored, the prisoners will be escorted to the rear, and now the guards of the prisoners are still in charge of the Red Army, and our internal affairs troops can only fully take over them at the stations and concentration camps, but now I still need to know about the situation in the management of prisoners, I hope you can introduce it!" Zakharov replied: "According to the order, these prisoners will be sent to the Dubovica concentration camp north of Stalingrad, where they cannot accommodate the prisoners, and will continue further north to the Becktovica concentration camp." There are now 20,000 German prisoners in the factory area, and we are now temporarily placing them here to clean up the ruins of the buildings and bury the bodies of the dead. Then Zakharov accompanied Andrei to see the captives.

Then Andrei went to the place where the prisoners were settled, and Andrei noticed a detail, that is, there was no place for food distribution at all, and Andrei immediately turned his head and asked: "Comrade General, why don't you see the place where food is distributed?" ”

And Zakharov shrugged his shoulders and said: "Comrade Yakov, you probably don't know yet. Due to the cold and freezing difficulties in transportation, we will not be able to provide these captives with the necessary food, medicine, and winter clothing for a long time. Even if supplies arrive, we must first ensure that our commanders and fighters are fed, and secondly, the remaining residents of the city. If there is a surplus of food, we will give priority to the wounded and sick who have been captured. ”

This made Andrei gasp, if this was the case, thousands of captives would have died of hunger and cold. Moreover, Andrei also knew that the German prisoners would be abused and shot at will on the way to the prisoner of war camp, and once these things were spread, the international image of the Soviet Union and those who demanded the surrender of the German army in the future would have a great negative impact.

But how can you care about the life and death of the Germans if you can't eat enough, this is not a battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, there is no preferential treatment for prisoners, unless it is a German marshal like Paulus out of various considerations, of course it is to be preferential, as for ordinary German officers and soldiers, welcome to go to Siberia to dig potatoes and cut down trees!

Coincidentally, the person in charge of guarding it was Andrei's old unit, the Red Banner Siberian Volunteer Division, and Yanayev, who had become the official division commander, came to Andrei and his party together.

Looking at his old partner, Andrei hurriedly stepped forward and hugged both of them, making Yanayev and Brezhnev both say: "Andrey, take it easy, our bones are not as strong as yours!" ”

Next, Zakharov had other problems to deal with and stayed at the division headquarters, Andrei and his two old partners went to the place where the prisoners of war were held, as soon as he saw the place of detention, Andrei directly understood why the mortality rate of German prisoners was so high at the beginning, in order to facilitate care, the prisoners were directly arranged in the open space between the buildings without shelter, they all had thick snow on them, and after a while, the battalion commander in charge of guarding ran over, Andrei looked at it, and Yazov, who was also an old subordinate and is now a captain, Andrei asked: "Comrade Yazov, why are the prisoners locked up like this?" ”

Yazov replied: "Report to Comrade Yakov, so that our fighters deployed in nearby buildings can observe, and if anyone is found to be dishonest, our snipers can kill them." ”

Although Andrei knew that Yazov would not provide any help to the captives, he still asked routinely: "Then did you provide them with food?" ”

Yazov immediately shook his head like a rattle and replied: "No, Comrade Yakov. We don't have enough food for ourselves, and where there is a surplus to provide them. You see," he said, turning to point into the distance, "those are the corpses we cleaned out of the captives today. ”

AndrΓ© looked in the direction of his finger and saw in front of a row of buildings in the distance, the corpses of German soldiers who were frozen in clothes were neatly arranged into a wall. Seeing this scene, Andrei remembered the photos of the Nazi concentration camps he saw in his previous life, the corpses of the Germans are now neatly stacked like wood, but this is simply unacceptable for a later generation, no wonder it is said that war turns people into ghosts, and these originally simple Soviets are now about to have the devilish heart of their enemies!

Andrei endured the chill and asked, "Comrade Yazov, how many prisoners died?" Yazov said lightly: "More than 2,000 people died in one night. Andrei had to say: "Comrade Yazov, Comrade Ilyich and Comrade Yanayev, these prisoners have a lot of tasks to undertake in the future, and you must improve the conditions of detention next, if you are all killed in this way, are you ready to let our soldiers and citizens do their own work?" ”

After hearing this, Brezhnev scratched the back of his head and said in embarrassment: "Andrey, you must know that with the more than 4,000 prisoners who surrendered today, there are more than 20,000 people in total, and I am afraid it will be difficult for us to provide them with enough food. ”

In response to Brezhnev's question, Andrei lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to him: "In this way, a group of strong prisoners will be immediately drawn and a special detachment will be formed, and under the leadership of our fighters, they will go to the vicinity to collect food and eat everything that can be eaten before." By the way, when we first came, we saw a few dead horses on the side of the road, and if you take them to get them back, I will immediately bring in a few cauldrons, so that at least we can fill the stomachs of many people. ”

"Comrade Yakov, even if you get all the dead horses back, you can't eat them if you have a pot but no fire." Andrei pointed to the buildings in the distance and said to him: "Comrade Yazov, did you see those buildings that were blown up? You can have the captives go there and collect discarded furniture, doors, and window frames to make fuel, not only to keep warm, but also to cook food. Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" Yazov immediately turned around and went to prepare.

Looking at this situation, Andrei also sighed, and Brezhnev here: "Andrey, although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the work of prisoners, and there are many orders from the superiors, based on the current situation, the mortality rate of prisoners is high, and you, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will not be held responsible." Brezhnev is well versed in officialdom, but what he knows is that the mortality rate of prisoners is high, and the head of the internal affairs army will not bear any responsibility at all, you know, at this juncture, who cares about the life and death of German prisoners, so he couldn't help but sigh with relief.

But Brezhnev didn't understand that Andrei was not worried about his future, but that he still had this bottom line in his heart, and the big man did something and didn't do anything! In the ancient Chinese philosophy, it has always been emphasized that people should and must have a minimum bottom line, but the current situation has tormented Andrei's heart, he does not object to the shooting of the SS, and also advocates the trial of Nazi war criminals, but this kind of bottomless torture and killing of prisoners like the Nazis is completely humanitarian, this is completely killing!
