When the soldiers heard the officer's order, they could only throw away their robes and quickly pass through the nameless village in a loose formation. As they marched, people were constantly blown away by shells and swept down by shrapnel, but the rest of them kept running forward, hoping to get out of the land of death as soon as possible.

The 89th Infantry Regiment, which had a detour from the north, was stubbornly resisted by the Germans, and Colonel Barashov organized several attacks, all of which were repulsed by the Germans. "The Germans are going to fight hard," the thought suddenly came to Barashov's heart, since the beginning of this offensive campaign, the troops under his command and the Germans have exchanged fire many times, but it is the first time that they have seen such a stubborn fight. He knew very well in his heart that if his troops could not cut off the escape path of the German army as soon as possible, then most of the German 73rd Infantry Division would escape from this encirclement that had not yet been formed, so he could only give the battalion commander below a death order: "Keep attacking, continue to attack at all costs!" It is necessary to cut off the reason for the escape of the German troops. ”

Compared to the 89th Regiment, the 225th Regiment attacked much more smoothly. They attacked mainly the rearguard of the German army, and the Germans were so busy fleeing that they had no intention of fighting, so that they managed to rush to the south of the village without any decent resistance.

"Comrade Regiment Commander," Lieutenant Colonel Brisky, seeing that his unit was progressing well, was secretly smug when a jeep rushed over, and an officer jumped out of the car and said to him sharply, "Guess what we found?" ”

"What did you find?" Brisky asked curiously.

The officer did not answer, but beckoned Brisky to get into the car and said to him: "You will know when you go." When Brisky was seated, the officer instructed the driver, "Drive!" ”

The answer was soon revealed, but when Brisky saw the dying wounded soldiers in the snow, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say: "These damned fascists, they don't even want their own wounded!" ”

"Comrade Regiment Commander," the officer asked Brisky for instructions, "what are we going to do with this group of wounded soldiers?" You know, we're traveling lightly these days, and we don't have as many medicines to treat them. ”

Brisky heard the officer's voice-over, he wanted to leave these wounded to fend for themselves, after all, it was the Germans who gave up on their own initiative, so what was the need for us to help the Germans clean up the mess? Speaking from the heart, Brisky also had the same thoughts as the officers, especially when he remembered the comrades-in-arms and subordinates who died at the hands of the Germans in the wars in the past few years, and his hatred for the Germans became stronger and stronger.

Although he only had to say, "Leave these wounded soldiers alone." "Then whether these wounded soldiers are all dead or some of them are lucky to survive has nothing to do with him. But after careful consideration, he still walked to the jeep and used the walkie-talkie to contact the division commander Luo Rijin: "Comrade division commander, something unexpected has happened to us here, and I would like to ask you what to do." ”

Rozhkin had already seen the troops of the 225th Regiment through a telescope and managed to make a detour to the south of the village and intercept some of the small German units that had fallen behind. At this moment, when he heard Brisky speak to himself in such a serious tone, he guessed that something big must have happened, so he asked solemnly: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, what happened?" ”

"Comrade division commander, we found a large number of wounded Germans." When Brisky saw the German wounded lying on stretchers or struggling in the snow, he gritted his teeth and said: "The Germans threw hundreds of seriously wounded down and threw them all in the snow in order to escape for their lives." I would like to ask for some advice on what to do with these wounded. ”

Knowing that the Germans had abandoned a large number of wounded in order to flee for their lives, Rozhgin felt that the matter was a headache and did not dare to make his own decisions, so he reported the matter to Popov. When Popov heard the news, he was also taken aback, and quickly reported the matter to Rokossovsky.

After reading the telegram from Popov and circulating it to several leaders of the front, Rokossovsky asked Subozin: "Comrade Military Commissar, tell me, how should we deal with these wounded?" ”

Su Bojing never dreamed that the Germans would frantically dump so many wounded in the snow in order to escape, leaving them to fend for themselves. After slamming a punch on the table, he spoke: "Comrades, the fascists have brought so much calamity and suffering to the Soviet people, and they have committed so many horrific crimes, that our fighters are full of bitter hatred for these human scum.

If there were a group of enemies armed to the teeth standing in front of our fighters, I think they would not hesitate to shoot. But now, there is only a group of wounded soldiers in front of them who have no strength to pick up weapons again, and will even die at any time, let them shoot, and it is estimated that few people can do it. No commander would have given even an order for our soldiers to ignore the wounded. Therefore, I propose that medical personnel be immediately dispatched to treat these wounded in order to demonstrate the humanitarian spirit of our army. I don't know what you think? ”

After Su Bojing finished speaking, there was silence in the room. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, even if it was a group of wounded, but after all, they were all our enemies, and who knows if they would take up arms and fight us after they were healed? It was for this reason that there were quite a few people present, but no one spoke.

Su Bojing felt a little cold, so he could only turn his eyes to Rokossovsky for help: "Comrade Marshal, I think this matter is very important, so you should have an idea." ”

Although Rokossovsky said in his heart that he wanted to leave these wounded to fend for themselves, he really couldn't say anything about giving such a tragic order. After a moment of hesitation, he said to the crowd: "I agree with the opinion of Comrade Military Commissar to treat these wounded German soldiers. At the same time, we have to send reporters to report on this. Through this incident, I told the German military and people that we had entered Germany as liberators and soldiers to help the German people get rid of the rule of the fascist clique and its deceptive propaganda that poisoned the people, and I hoped that the vast number of soldiers and civilians would wake up in time. ”

After the leaders of the front reached an agreement, the 71st Infantry Division stopped the attack on the nameless village, and after allowing the troops of the German 73rd Division to escape, it began to concentrate on treating the wounded German soldiers who were lying in the snow waiting to die.
