Thunderous applause rang out from the command post, and this was the first time that the marshal had made a public statement on the development of this war.

Drag it out, drag the war down and you can win.

This is Li Xiao's message to everyone!

It is true that the equipment advantage made it very easy for the Ming Dynasty to eat hundreds of thousands of people in the Central Coalition Group at a very small cost.

So far, the coalition forces in the Battle of Kursk:

Four thousand seven hundred and sixty-one deaths!

Twenty-seven thousand one hundred and twenty-one wounded!

Eight hundred and three people are missing or captured!

This casualty figure is really insignificant compared to the losses of hundreds of thousands of coalition troops.

As of yesterday, the Ming and Russian armies had captured and annihilated more than 300,000 coalition troops.

This means that there are at most less than 200,000 coalition troops in the encirclement.

The siege had been going on for six days, and the coalition forces had reached the end of their crossbows without supplies.

If you don't have food supplies, you can tighten your belts and carry them for a day or two, but without ammunition supplies, you can't tighten your belts.

It is estimated that in a day or two at most, those who did not surrender will also be wiped out.

Walking out of the headquarters, I took a breath and felt a little pain in my lungs.

It's so cold!

There is a saying in Liaodong that snow is not cold and snow is cold.

Ten days ago, it snowed heavily for three days in a row, and now even if the sun is shining, the temperature is enough to freeze the crows to death.

In the distance, under the tree, there is a crow that is frozen hard!

Farther away, foxes wander across the dazzling white snow in search of food.

Foxes have a lot to eat, and there are many corpses frozen as hard as stones under the snow.

Although it is frozen hard, it is still not a problem to gnaw on a little finger or something.

As a result, the corpse had a missing face and fingers.

Winters in Russia are cold, and winters in Daming are just as cold.

The train along the Central Asia Railway all the way to the east finally stopped at Baotou Station.

The stuffy tank car opened, and everyone covered their noses.

Stinking!

It stinks!

The two people leaning against the door had become zombies and fell directly to the ground with the open door.

Prisoners of war dressed in blue and white striped prison uniforms skillfully pulled the corpses up from under the roadbed with hooks and loaded them onto carts.

"Get out of the car!" No one understands Hungarian, and no one understands Austrian.

A prisoner of war who knew English stood at the door of the carriage and covered his nose and shouted.

Zuckerberg jumped out of the carriage, his feet numb from the cold.

"You know English?" A guy who looked like a Ming officer looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes!

I know English, German, Hebrew and Austrian, and I know a little Hungarian, but I'm not fluent! ”

Zuckerberg struggled to straighten his spine and keep himself on his feet.

"Nice talent, you're the captain.

Get the bastards who are still alive off! ”

After the officer finished speaking, a guy in a blue and white prison uniform stuffed Zuckerberg with a tin horn.

The officer glanced inside, and was soon vomited by the smell inside.

For five days and five nights, all the prisoners of war ate and drank in the carriage.

The two nests of the Uralsk are their entire rations.

There was no water, and the only way to meet their water needs was to put two large buckets of frozen snow on either side of the carriage.

God knows what happened in the carriage during these five days.

Anyway, almost thirty percent of the dead have died, and the rest have been frozen so much that they don't even know their mothers, and a few have fevers and are helped down by their companions.

Looking at the feverish prisoners of war, as soon as the Ming military doctor wearing a mask waved his hand, these people were dragged aside by the guy in prison uniform.

"Tell your subordinates to listen to orders, and those who do not obey the management will be released directly.

Shooting you is a waste of bullets.

If you want to escape, do it yourself!

Anyway, next spring, those who flee will be turned into a pile of skeletons on the grassland.

It is also a good choice to turn into fertilizer. ”

The officer's words were translated into English by the tongue man, and then into Austrian by Zuckerberg, who was holding a tin horn.

Many people thought that they had misheard and that they would be released if they disobeyed orders. Is this true or false?

But one glance at the station, deep in the wilderness, made it clear to everyone.

If a person walks in the icy and snowy grassland, it will not be long before he is frozen to death, and it will become a delicious meal for the steppe wolf.

As if to set up the atmosphere, the wild wolf in the distance howled cooperatively.

Truckloads of corpses were taken away by carts, as were those with fevers.

Not far away, there was a huge chimney, belching out of the smoke.

A large group of guys in prison uniforms climbed into the carriage. The corpses inside were also cleaned out, and the floor of the carriage was wiped vigorously with water.

"Take them to the bath, they stink to death." At the command of the officer who took the lead, the prisoners of war lined up and followed the officer on horseback to the place where the black smoke was emitting.

When it is said to be a bath, it is really a bath.

It's just that before taking a bath, they saw with their own eyes the corpse of their companion, which was poured into the boiler along with cinders.

What is even more terrifying is that those who are sick and have a fever are also thrown into the boiler.

The screams of those men only stopped with a short sound.

Soaking in the boiling water of the corpse of the robe, everyone had the feeling of being soaked in human broth.

"Tell them to be obedient here, don't talk to the Ming people, they won't understand what you say anyway.

Don't look at them with hostile eyes, as they will see them as dangerous.

You will not be killed, you will only be kicked out of the prisoner of war camp.

Believe me, none of the people who were expelled from the POW camps would survive more than two days.

Either they were eaten by wild wolves or frozen to death.

This is the Mongolian steppe, and if you go in any direction, you won't see anyone for three days. ”

The Tongue Man is a British Jew, and for the sake of his fellow Jews, he kindly reminded Zuckerberg.

"And what do we usually do?" Zuckerberg washed quickly, and he was eager to inquire with this "senior" about the situation here.

"Dig coal!

There are large coal mines here, and it takes a lot of labor to dig coal.

This boiler is the core of the coal mine, and there is the barracks of the Ming people.

The small building over there is the residence of the Ming officers.

That row of red-brick houses over there is where you live.

Seeing those soldiers on the watchtower, no one will care if you go out alone.

More than two people go out and they will let the dog bite you.

If there are more than three people, they will shoot. ”

"Why do a person go out and they don't care? Do they think the grasslands can trap us? ”

"Huh! The snow won't be able to trap you, but if you don't come back at night.

The two people sleeping on your left and the two on your right, plus the captain who manages you, will be thrown into the boiler.

If you dare to run alone, the Ming people will not beat you. However, you will be beaten to death by your own people. ”

"Brawls between prisoners of war, the Ming people don't care?"

"As long as you stuff the killed people into the boiler, the Ming people won't care."

"Oh God!

What the hell is this place, this is hell. ”

"Huh!

What's the hell to do, you have to stay up here.

You're the captain, and you've got to watch out for your men. If you don't want to be thrown into the boiler alive!

Now you know, captaining is not a good job. ”

The guy was grinning with yellow teeth, and Zuckerberg's heart was chilling.

I was glad I was the captain just now, but now I know that it's a fucking backbiter.

Once someone escapes, they do not punish the person who escapes, they command to punish him.

I was hungry for several days, and many prisoners of war collapsed after soaking.

After a while, the benches in the bathhouse were full of people!

Someone outside brought in two large baskets of blue and white prison uniforms, and Zuckerberg picked up a set.

He thought that these bulging prison uniforms were warm cotton inside, but he didn't expect that they would be newspapers in them.

Although it is bulging, it is light in the hand and seems to have no weight.

Everyone consciously changed into prison uniforms, and then put on some funny hats.

Zuckerberg felt that he must be a circus clown now.
