Chapter 2236 "That Russian Kid"
Chapter 2241 "That Russian kid"
The Germans certainly knew what would happen to the 332nd Infantry Regiment if its true identity was exposed and it fell into the hands of the Red Army as a prisoner of war.
After all, this was not a matter of the lives of a few people, or dozens or hundreds of people, but the life and death of an entire main infantry regiment.
To be honest, Malashenko, who knew the ins and outs of the matter and the truth behind it, really wanted to say something.
At least when it came to treating their own people, the Germans were still very righteous and did not choose "a friend would die, but the poor would die" or "everyone would flee when disaster strikes".
Imagine if the Germans honestly gave up the 332nd Infantry Regiment, drew a clear line with this group of people from the beginning, and sold them out in exchange for certain benefits, then Malashenko felt that this matter could actually be successful, at least it could be done here.
Malashenko asked himself that if he really encountered such a situation, he would at most pick out the scum of the 332nd Infantry Regiment and deal with it separately. There was no reason to make things difficult for the remaining 10,000 German soldiers who surrendered. After all, the father's order was limited to the scum of the 332nd Infantry Regiment. Malashenko was not dealing with people, but was just following orders.
Maybe if he was in a good mood, he would give some high-quality treatment to the senior officials of the 41st Armored Army of Major General Graham because of the meritorious service of the German report. At least before handing them over to the friendly troops in the rear and escorting them to the prisoner-of-war camp, it would be no problem to let these people have a full meal every day. Maybe if he was in a good mood, he would even reward you two with a little wine.
But now, the negotiation team of Major General Graham did not mention the existence of the 332nd Infantry Regiment to him until they left.
If it weren't for the German major who pretended to be dead and had a broken leg that couldn't run away when cleaning the battlefield, and this coward was afraid of death and told everything he knew, Malashenko would know the truth.
Just because Major General Graham and his gang were always protecting the scum in their nest, Malashenko didn't think he could get such a complete truth from them.
Even if Major General Graham and his gang came back for a second round of negotiations, they would probably come with some modified "truth" to try to fool him again. In short, it is highly unlikely that they would give people out so directly, because it was a matter of life and death for a main force regiment.
"What's next? What are you going to do? Do you think what this German major said is credible?"
When Malashenko was busy negotiating and preparing to interrogate the prisoners in person, the political commissar who led and commanded the forward field division also happened to arrive and participated in the short but efficient interrogation with Malashenko. As soon as he came out of the interrogation tent, he immediately asked Malashenko.
"I was going to ask you if you think it's credible. If you want me to say it, I think there is no reason for him to continue lying after being pointed at his head with a gun and shivering all over. It doesn't make sense."
Comrade Ma, who lit the cigarette in his mouth and closed the lighter casually, obviously didn't look very happy, and the tone he blurted out was also quite unfriendly.
"I don't have time to play tricks with these fascists. The situation has changed now."
"Didn't they leave a liaison here? It's just right. Let Suka go back and bring a letter, my own letter. I want to let these Nazi dogs know what will happen if they dare to deceive me. If they don't come out and surrender honestly, I will make them never regret it in their lifetime. I mean what I say!"
The nature of the incident has actually undergone some subtle changes at this point.
If the previous leadership division obeyed Vatutin's orders, it only needed to defend the encirclement line and prevent the German army from breaking through to complete the mission.
Now, after finding out that there is a group of fascist scum who was specifically asked to be killed by the loving father Comrade Stalin in the encirclement, Malashenko felt that the leadership division needed to let this group of Nazi dogs who dared to play tricks and deceive people know what the real wrath of Stalin and the iron fist of the Red Army are.
As for what to do next, there is actually no need to say more. It is so simple that you can figure it out by thinking about it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the dead and quiet headquarters of the German 41st Panzer Corps.
Major General Greim, the Chief of Staff, who had just led the negotiation team back by car, was sitting at the table with Lieutenant General Dritz, the commander of the army, and they were discussing something with a serious expression.
Around these two people, although the other various personnel in the entire headquarters seemed to be busy doing their own things on the surface, their minds were actually not on the work in hand at all, at least most of them could not focus on the work in hand.
Major General Greim's bad face when he entered the door was probably because he did not reach a good result.
Even among these small characters in the headquarters, most of them did not know the specific content of the negotiations, let alone what requirements they had put forward and how they were rejected by the Russians on the other side, but this did not prevent people from guessing. Isn't it said that humans are individual creatures with independent thinking consciousness? How can we not let people guess when it comes to matters of life and death like this?
And if we just guess, we will get bad results, which is inevitable.
Some people in the headquarters who seemed busy but actually absent-minded even felt that their lives were doomed. If the negotiations failed, they would have to fight to the death with the Russians. They were afraid that they would have to die in the ice and snow in a short time.
What's worse is that there is no one who can send a suicide note back home. The entire army is surrounded by the Russians and cannot escape. Where can you find someone who can send a suicide note to you? You will die in obscurity and silence. Your family members don't even know whether you are dead or alive. You can't see the person alive or dead. How can this not make people feel sad?
"So the Russians have seen through our plan, is that what you mean?"
The two big guys, Lieutenant General Dritz and Major General Greim, who were sitting at the table and talking in secret, had no intention of paying attention to what other people around them were thinking. They just wanted to win as much vitality and hope as possible for the fate of the entire armored army.
"That Malashenko didn't admit it directly, nor did he say anything like that, but his words and actions meant this to me. I'm sure he just didn't say it clearly, and wanted me to guess it myself, so that I would collapse under the unpredictable psychological pressure and take the initiative to confess to him or let something slip."
"If you have met him, you will know that the Russian kid is not simple. He even put his super heavy tank at the negotiation site for me to see. There was a huge slogan printed on the tank. I recognized the Russian characters. It said "Revenge for the hero Kirill." "
"Oh my God, he just wanted to use that thing to put pressure on me! It was a super tank that I had never seen before and had never even heard of before! Huge, strong, and powerful, just Stopping there and letting you watch quietly is extremely conquest and visual impact. "
"There was a moment, just a moment, when the tank filled my entire field of vision, Malashenko looked straight at me with a sneer, and the surrounding Russian soldiers were wearing armored bulletproof vests and holding their new assault rifles to watch me, I almost told the truth. It's lucky to be able to come back alive from Malashenko's hands. I'm serious, Dritz. "
"Now we have to think about how to tell him the truth more appropriately, so that he thinks we didn't deliberately deceive him before. Only in this way can we win opportunities and hope for more people. Now is the time to make necessary sacrifices and decisions. You know what to do, old friend. "
