Chapter 24: Information on the Child
The soldiers were very happy because both men were still alive. Yang Mingzhi was relieved of his burden and said to the soldiers: "There is a lack of oxygen below, and these two children don't know how long they have been hiding, so we can ask carefully when they are sober, because we can even speculate when the Germans left." ”
The care of people is left to the hygienist, and it will be the business of star fruit.
Yang Mingzhi squatted at the entrance of the village and smoked a cigarette, which stimulated him a lot just now. If it's a battlefield, it's nothing bloody anymore, but it's a massacre.
Yevlov successfully reached the village, and the silent village was inhabited by more than 3,000 people at once.
Seeing Berekov smoking at the entrance of the village, he was quite idle.
"Hey! What the hell is going on here. ”
Yang Mingzhi raised his head and flicked his eyes: "You go and take a look." The massacre of the Germans. ”
Yevlov immediately trotted all the way, only to see the soldiers digging a large pit, and the corpses of the villagers were gathered one by one waiting to be buried. Yevlov has been accustomed to seeing life and death these days, and he is still relatively calm at this moment.
The Nazis were all madmen, and it was normal for them to commit massacres. Now that the Germans had entered the forest, Yevlov immediately ordered the village to be defended in a circle, setting up sniper and machine-gun positions, and setting up mortar positions in the small square of the village.
In the cellar where the two children had just been rescued, the soldiers brought up a large number of potatoes and even a little sauerkraut.
The villagers are dead, and their production and living materials are useless. Despite some disrespect for the deceased, Yevlov still ordered these to be taken for himself.
A large cauldron was propped up to cook a large pot of potatoes, and as for the carcasses of livestock that were found, they were not eaten for safety.
Yang Mingzhi is not a forensic doctor, but the dead villagers obviously already have corpse spots, and some of the corpses began to swell, but I am afraid that they will be dead for a few days, so the Germans have also left for a few days.
"I reckon that the Germans had done this at least two days ago, so I reckon that the Germans were within a forty-kilometer radius of the village."
Yevlov was surprised, "Berekov, can you be sure of this?" ”
"Of course, dead corpses can still speak, corpses only start to smell, so it can be seen that they are not dead for a long time. We'd better wait for the survivors to wake up. ”
Yevlov nodded, he knew that the soldiers had rescued two children.
Soldiers have begun digging foxholes, several scouts have set up a system of sentry posts deep into the forest, and radio operators continue to try to contact friendly forces.
Star fruit can no longer take care of some of the wounded soldiers whose condition is getting worse, and some people already have a tendency to septicaemia. The current situation of lack of medical treatment and medicine is not known to be a head, and she only asks the wounded soldiers to be as patient as possible.
She called Yerentina to wait until the child woke up, and they might be in a better mood at the first sight of the Russian woman.
The two children seem to be a pair of sisters and brothers, and the elder sister seems to be very similar in age to star fruit. The other boy was much younger, about seven or eight years old.
"Yerenkina, after they wake up in a while, you will ask if there are any questions. My Russian is not very good yet. Star fruit said.
Yerrytina nodded, "Well, you Chinese still have to continue studying." I can see that you are expected to become a military doctor. ”
Carambola grinned and went to take care of the wounded soldiers.
When Yevlov arrived, the two children had already woken up, and they were frightened at first, and then they saw that they were all compatriots, and they were all speaking Russian, and the panic disappeared.
Yevlov was desperate to know what was happening, but his pressing steps frightened the child.
"Comrade division commander, please speak calmly. You're going to scare kids! Yerenkina asked the old man to avoid it, and she came to ask.
The older sister of the children, she is more mature in mind. She looked around and already knew what was going on, her parents were dead, and she was crying, of course. When you are tired of crying, you can only mourn and start telling what happened.
"My name is Natasha, and I heard that the Germans are going to invade us. Many people on the collective farms had already been evacuated, and we were evacuated a little late, but we did not expect the Germans to come. They didn't give us any time, and my parents put us in the cellar and told us to lock the door. ”
Yerenkina subconsciously held the girl in her arms, and the girl cried fiercely again.
The two children regained their senses, and Yerenkina immediately began "psychological intervention". The so-called war has begun, the Germans are the most cruel, and all those who can afford to take up arms must rise up to fight.
"Can I?" Natasha asked weakly, "I'm only fifteen years old." ”
"That's enough." Yerenkina pointed to the star fruit that was busy on the side. "Our USSR was huge, and the girl was only seventeen years old and even more foreigner. She has been through what you have experienced now, and now she has become a great Red Army soldier. ”
Yerentina waved her hand and called Yevlov over. "Comrade division commander, don't you think that our army has suffered serious attrition. Now this is your new comrade-in-arms. ”
Yevlov had always had a grudge against this NKVD guy, and he still called the girl Cheka. "You are still the same, you led a bunch of Minsk citizen organization mobilizers to participate in the defense, and as a result, a few of the more than 200 people were left alive. You're letting this girl join you now? ”
"Let me join you." The girl jerked to her feet, "I want to avenge my family." ”
Yerentina smiled at the situation: "How is it, your new comrade-in-arms." You need a soldier, and we'll just train her to be a soldier. ”
Yevlov frowned: "Okay, okay. My soldier, will you shoot? “
"I will. Shotguns have been used, and hunting. ”
"Well, I'll put you in the militia. You people are still far from real soldiers, and the next step is to undergo military training. ”
The girl, Natasha, asked the time, it was July 7, and according to her account, the atrocities of the German army took place on July 5.
The key information was immediately informed to Yang Mingzhi, and everything was basically under his inference.
"Perhaps the Germans were searching all the villages in the forest, and the indiscriminate killing of villagers was only one of the purposes, and the larger purpose should be to search for the traces of our troops. After all, I think that Kuznetsov's large forces will not suicidally storm Minsk. ”
Yang Mingzhi's words made a lot of sense, and Yevlov ordered the team to take turns to rest after eating.
The two squatted on the ground and nibbled on potatoes.
"We now find enough food to feed three thousand people for several days. Each soldier could distribute a dozen potatoes and even a little sauerkraut. Yevlov said.
"Hmm. Eating potatoes all the time will lack some vitamins, and sauerkraut can make up for some. We've got a little bit of wild vegetables to make do now, but before winter comes, we'll be fine if we break through. If we stay in the forest to fight guerrillas, we will have to prepare supplies now. ”
"You're still thinking about fighting guerrillas. We are a regular army, and I still feel that we should not go to war as a last resort. ”
"Who knows?" Yang Mingzhi shrugged, "Anyway, there are already German troops in the forest. We must destroy the Germans in front of us. ”
The two talked a little more, and suddenly a gunshot rang out in the distance.
Many of the soldiers who began to nap immediately became alert. Because there were German troops in the forest, Yevlov was like a frightened bird, and he stood up and shouted ready for battle.
The soldiers loaded their weapons and pointed their guns outside the village.
Yang Mingzhi immediately hid in the foxhole, and Bobosha pointed out. He wiped his head and saw his wife and some soldiers quickly transferring the wounded from the "field hospital". "This little girl is alert enough."
The gunfire rang out only for a while, and soon a soldier ran out of the dense forest, and he excitedly said, "We have found our compatriots." Just after a misunderstanding, we found out about the militia. ”
"Okay, you let them all out. Tell them that we are the Guards 284 Infantry Division. Yevlov gave the order.
The soldiers were ordered to return to the forest, and soon Soviet citizens began to walk out of the forest.
