A large number of frightened civilians were hiding in a narrow cellar, and the paratrooper soldiers, who had thought that there were a large number of enemies hiding there, had the courage to lift the lid after hearing strange cries.

These civilians were ordered to crawl out of the cellar, and a simple count showed that fifty people actually came out! These people crouched tremblingly in the ruins, especially the women, their eyes glazed and lost. Only the old men with white beards could stammering to answer the paratroopers' questions.

When Rychev arrived in a hurry, the paratroopers guarding them had already asked something.

He saw a group of people crouching on the ground, and judging by their attire, they were civilians.

"How? What did these people confess? Are they all citizens? ”

The soldier saluted and replied: "Yes!" They are all peaceful residents of the city, but they are used by those puppet soldiers to force them to work with guns to their heads. ”

Rychev did not have time to think too much, let alone carefully interrogate these people, and the interrogation was entrusted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Soldiers, you bring these people into place." I could see that they were all frightened, and asked them to eat something and drink some water. Take care of them, and wait until the commander arrives! ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

Rychev knew that these people were Ukrainians, but he didn't know that they were not forced to cooperate with the puppet army. These people themselves can also be classified as Ukrainian nationalists, who support Moise and his puppet army.

However, they were also citizens of the Soviet Union, and the Ukrainian puppet regime established by Germany was recognized only by the Axis powers, and the Soviet Union naturally refused to recognize it. Therefore, these people declared that they were forced by the enemy, and naturally they were also called citizens of the Soviet Union, protected by the Red Army.

They are protected, which is based on the high moral quality of the paratroopers, as well as the strict discipline of the paratroopers.

As for the reconnaissance battalion, although the Balzen troops were extremely combat-ready, the quality of the soldiers was inferior to that of the paratrooper brigade.

Balzen knew this very well, that is, there were no innocents in the city of Slavtish, those who supported the Soviet Union fled from the city to fight guerrillas, and those who remained in the city were either enemies or traitors, and the so-called civilians were traitors and should be killed!

The Soviets hated traitors, and so did the paratroopers, the difference being that the paratroopers preferred to capture the traitors and have them convicted by a regular court. In ordinary troops, the way to deal with traitors is very simple - if you are caught, you will be killed.

That's what the reconnaissance battalion did, and these extremely bloody soldiers had long been tempered in the smoke of artillery fire with a numb temperament, which was not so much bloody as a simple beast.

Not only were all the enemies who surrendered shot instantly, but some of the fighters did even more brutal things!

There was a squad of soldiers in the reconnaissance battalion, and they really killed red eyes. The warriors screamed and killed a few of their enemies before rushing into a building covered with rubble. The soldiers were so poor that they searched for usable daily necessities, such as cutlery, cups, and even suitable clothing.

Several soldiers found the wooden cover on the floor, and as they tried to lift it, gunshots suddenly rang out.

One warrior fell, and the other two fell to the side. The two men took out the grenade and threw it without hesitation.

There were two violent explosions, and the soldier with a submachine gun jumped into the smoky cellar.

The sight in front of him shocked him, there were people everywhere! They were still alive just now, but now only corpses remain, and the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke permeated the air.

One soldier suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and he quickly climbed up to vomit, while the other was still checking. The soldier found a frightened woman in the pile of dead, and when he cried in Ukrainian, the soldier's sanity was lost.

"Nazi prostitutes!" The soldier dragged the woman by the hair to the exit of the cellar, and then, he actually ......

The squad leader led the soldiers to inspect the building, seized a lot of daily necessities, the battle was still ongoing, and the infantry squad was eager to find the enemy to continue the fight. He urgently gathered his own people, only to find that one was missing.

"Pavrav! Where is Ponotsev? ”

"He's still in the cellar checking the Nazis!"

"What is there to check for the dead man, you tell him to come up quickly! Forget it, I'll pick him up myself! ”

However, before the squad leader reached the entrance of the cellar, he heard the fierce rough voice of the man and the hoarse wail of the woman. He tilted his head and looked inside, only to see that the man was actually doing dirty things.

The squad leader was furious, and he fired more than a dozen warning shots directly from his submachine gun before the atrocities of soldier Ponotsev were stopped.

When the soldier lifted his pants and got out, the angry squad leader directly fanned the big-eared melon seeds: "Bastard!" We are warriors, not bandits! Not a fascist devil! ”

The soldier did not feel that he had done anything wrong and retorted: "This is a traitor! This kind of traitor should be killed! Before shooting her, she must be made aware of the cost of betrayal. ”

"Phew! You're trying to get rid of your bestiality! As he spoke, the squad leader picked up his submachine gun again, and pointed the muzzle at this subordinate: "You are disarmed!" Lay down all your weapons! ”

……

What happened to this infantry squad was not an isolated case, and when its squad leader escorted the offending soldier and the woman who had just insulted him to the temporary camp headquarters, he was shocked to find that the battalion commander Balzen was already reprimanding people. Moreover, on top of the rubble sat two tied men, judging by their uniforms, also reconnaissance battalion soldiers!

The squad leader suddenly became worried, and he asked a soldier to inquire about the situation: "Comrade, what's the matter with those two people?" They are our soldiers! The battle isn't over yet! ”

The soldier shook his head regretfully and said, "Both of these soldiers did that to the woman they found, you know." I don't think these two will survive. As he spoke, he pointed to another place: "That woman is the victim, if she is found one step too late, she will be killed!" ”

The squad leader understood everything, and looking at the battalion commander's old face full of gray carbon, it was estimated that he was not in a good mood. Still stiffening his head, he led the offending soldier over and confessed the situation.

Surprisingly, the battalion commander Balzen was very calm, "You put this person here, the liquidation of the enemy continues, and your infantry squad continues to fight." Remember, I found a living person in the ruins, bring it to me honestly, and don't shoot it indiscriminately! ”

At present, Balzen has no joy of victory at all, the city is broken, and his troops have turned into bandits, at least some of them. The situation was a little out of control, and he could not order the soldiers not to search for the loot in the first place, but could only urgently ask them not to kill people at will. He did not know how such an order would be carried out.

At least three of the soldiers who committed the atrocities were brought in by their squad leaders, which made him somewhat relieved, and it seemed that his junior officers were still very well-educated.

The key lies in these grassroots soldiers!

On weekdays, the army is very strict in the management of the relationship between men and women, and in the barracks, soldiers are found to have fornicated with civilian women, which is to be confined. Of course, men and women under the high pressure of the contradiction between the enemy and the enemy need to relax their spirits, but also to meet their psychological needs. Even so, the military is forbidden unless both men and women are in the military.

Balzen boasted that he was a good ruler of the army, and today the three soldiers really slapped him in the face, especially one of them, not only insulting the person, but also killing him afterwards.

Angry, he really wanted to kill the soldier directly, but reason told him that it was not the most reasonable to do so. This is a scandal of the reconnaissance battalion, and it is also a scandal of its own, and the scandal cannot be hidden! Worse, it is also a crime to cover up by officers!

This matter must be reported not only to the commander, but also to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The fate of these soldiers should be left to the commander.
