Chapter 1127: The Killing of the Ukrainian Puppet Army
The last rocket launcher took off into the air, and Yang Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it! Our final mission has been accomplished, and it's time for us to triumph. ”
He ordered the troops, immediately dismantle the launchers, and the large troops, which were resting in the forest, began to return according to plan.
For the Soviet troops, they achieved a great victory, and the battle, which lasted from the 17th to the 22nd, was not without hardship. Everyone was sleeping in the open, and they didn't even have the opportunity to take a shower.
The vast number of soldiers were covered in oil, the smell of foxes mixed with the smell of gunsmoke, and their beards did not have time to shave off. Even if they were all neatly lined up, their sloppy appearance made them feel dissatisfied.
Finally, the battle is over, and it's time to go back to the barracks to rest.
Forty kilometers away in the city of Chernihiv, the unrest was not quickly brought under control by the army with Hendrysen's urgent orders. The Germans did take drastic measures, however, their friendly forces, the puppet army of those Ukrainians - police regiments and vigilante police. They also received permission from the German division commander to "take drastic measures".
These people were very paranoid about the so-called "drastic measures", perhaps to vent their anger or to show loyalty to the German army, and they resolutely did their old job - killing.
Hendryson prides himself on being a heroic man in his divisional office, and with the constant gunfire outside, he hopes that the incident will be quickly subsided and that the citizens will be safe and secure, so that the army can clean up the mess after the attack.
Soon, he received such a call from his subordinates.
"Divisional commander! Our friendly Ukrainian forces are simply insane! They kill people in the streets. Those citizens who are clearly scurrying around like frightened rabbits, our friendly forces are firing directly at them! ”
"What? And this kind of thing? Hendryson was furious.
"Yes! Teachers! Are our allies going to slaughter the city? They are still wearing our uniforms, are they going to discredit our Third Reich servicemen ?! ”
Honor, which is very important to Hendryson. Influenced by this, his subordinates also attached great importance to honor.
In the occupied zone, a large number of German troops were inevitably degraded by military discipline, and they took the initiative to attack the locals who were defined as "peaceful residents", robbed, murdered and even had affairs with local women, and most of the officers were simply difficult to control, and some even connived at.
Hendryson, on the other hand, attaches great importance to military discipline, pursues a stable occupation zone, and is also strict with his subordinates. Just like this sudden incident of enemy bombing, he ordered his soldiers to strictly guard all the intersections in and out of the city, and shot the citizens who fled, but he had absolutely no intention of killing people in the city.
He was able to control the Germans, and at most he listened to the constraints of the crazy Ukrainian nationalists, the so-called friendly forces.
Hendrysen was well aware that his group of allies were wearing German uniforms, and the main difference was that their armbands were yellow and blue. Their actions are to show peace to the German army, and after the incident is settled, I am afraid that the citizens of this city will only have a simple fear of the German army!
He shouted hoarsely into the phone: "Griffin, I order you to take the whole regiment to stop the atrocities of the police regiment immediately!" If anyone refuses to cease fire, you will shoot them as enemies! ”
"Yes! It's just that...... It's just a division commander, what if we shoot at them and get counterattacked? ”
"Are you stupid? Could it be that the armor of your armored car is made of paper? If they dare to fight back, your armored vehicles will strafe. I'm responsible for all the consequences, and your only task is to quell the chaos in the area in charge! ”
Hendrysson estimated that the behavior of the Ukrainian police regiment today was not without reason, one of their battalions was wiped out, and he also learned of the fact that the Romanian division was defeated. These are all fanatical Ukrainians who have volunteered to join the army and whose nature is classified as "militants".
Hendryson's orders confronted his troops, and when the Germans formally intervened, the killing of the police regiment quickly subsided. After all, these Ukrainians will not be stupid to fire at the Germans after killing red eyes, especially after seeing those half-track armored vehicles, it is obvious that they are deterring them, and the killing ends quickly.
The riot began with the bombardment, and by the time it was almost over, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
If it is only a bombardment, the damage caused by it is still limited. The point is precisely this stupid assist of the police regiment, they did not assist the Germans, but Yang Mingzhi forty kilometers away.
On the other hand, when the members of the resistance group who were hiding in the fleeing crowd with their comrades who were almost hanged found that the road out of the city was not only blocked, but also that the Germans had shot civilians directly, the captain led all the members back into the city, and it was no longer possible to escape outside the city, and the top priority was to flee to other strongholds.
The truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit is very clear to the resistance organization. They set up bases in the cellars where cabbage was stored in some villages outside the city, and some in the cities.
When these people arrived at the new stronghold, they sealed the wooden door with various debris, and more than 20 people gathered in this basement, regardless of the sound of gunfire outside, they silently checked and adjusted the backup telegraph.
What the Germans did in the city, they had already experienced first-hand when they fled for their lives. Especially the few warriors who almost died, after they had recovered a little, they also immediately began to dictate what happened to them in prison.
Outside, the gunfire continued, and in the basement, the rebel guerrillas stormed up the chaos.
Their captain looked righteous and said to his comrades: "Comrades! The Germans are killing people like crazy, and they are likely to conduct a city-wide search, and we may all die in the future. We must fulfill our mission, and for now, we must report to the partisan republics, to Moscow, about the tragedy that took place in the city of Chernihiv today! As long as we complete the report, we will all be sacrificed, and we will also be great martyrs! ”
No one will surrender, no one will choose to survive, and these warriors swore to fight to the last man.
One of the warriors suddenly said with a lot of mouth: "Captain! I'm still very curious, today's bombing is clearly caused by rocket artillery. Could it be that the guerrilla republics, they are already using rocket artillery? Where did their rocket artillery come from, could it really be that they made it!? ”
"Of course they made it themselves." The captain sighed: "You all know about the past few days, that Romanian army is fighting against our army, and the latest news is that the Romanians have suffered a crushing defeat, and Chernihiv has been put under martial law. All this was done by the guerrilla republics and the 63rd Army there, and I think they also sent small detachments, brought their own rocket artillery outside the city and launched a surprise attack on the city. Their purpose is to create chaos, which is why they gave us a telegram claiming to be justice from heaven. ”
"So, we should send a telegram to Moscow claiming that the partisan republic is bombarding Chernihiv with rocket artillery, the operation code name Heaven Justice?"
"Yes! We will report like this, and before that, we have to honestly inform the source of the rocket artillery, the magical guerrilla republic, of what happened today! ”
In this way, the rebel groups in Chernihiv, having determined that the backup station was in good condition, began to send telegrams. They didn't care about the gunfire outside, they had only one hope, to send a telegram and let the world know about the atrocities of the Germans in Chernihiv!
