Chapter 2319: Life for a Life, Debt for a Debt
"The meeting at the front headquarters is not important. It was just a meeting where the communications director distributed a new code book and read out some confidential documents, requiring the participants from various departments to take them back and implement them. I even regretted going there. If I had known it would be such a boring meeting, I would have sent a communications staff officer. I feel that I was at a loss."
"But there are other gains. The important thing is this. Take a look first. I will tell you while you look."
""
Looking at the envelope waving in Lavrinenko's hand, Malashenko, who couldn't guess what it was, immediately reached out to take it, opened it and took out the letter while listening to Lavrinenko continue to talk.
"Iushkin was in charge of driving the car. This guy came to visit the division headquarters early in the morning. I guess he came to see you. I ran into him and chatted with him. He knew I was going to the division headquarters for a meeting, so he offered to be my driver. I thought that anyone can drive, and it would be easier to kill time on the road with an acquaintance, so I agreed."
"When I arrived at the front headquarters, I took people in for a meeting. This guy disappeared in a flash, saying that he was going to find his fellow villagers. I just found out that he actually had fellow villagers in the front headquarters."
"But I never expected that when I came out of the meeting, he was already waiting at the entrance of the front headquarters. I was planning to send someone to find him, but I didn't expect him to be faster than me.
"But the expression on this guy's face was not right at the time. He was very angry, furious, and gnashing his teeth. I was wondering what happened and was about to ask, but he gave me this letter, saying that he got it from his fellow villagers. It was a handwritten interrogation record. I just asked a German who came to surrender last night. His fellow villager happened to be one of the people in charge of the interrogation. "
"Then, there is nothing else. Anyway, I feel bad after reading what was said above. I even had the same reaction as Iushkin."
"That's the thing. I can't make any decisions alone. Iushkin wanted to come to the division headquarters with me. I said it's useless for you to come now. Leave this matter to me. I will send someone to find you as soon as there is a result. I sent him back for the time being."
"I think you two must care more about this matter than I do. After all, this is just a public grudge for me, and you two have personal grudges involved. I thought that this matter must not be hidden from you two. Let's discuss what to do and come up with a solution. That's basically all I have to say. "
Lavrinenko finished speaking, but just as he said, at this moment, the expressions of both Malashenko and the political commissar had changed. They were not the expressions that could be seen at ordinary times.
The political commissar was still solemn, but Malashenko was different. His lips were tightly closed, his teeth were clenched, the letter in his hand was twisted, and his eyes were so sharp that he almost wanted to kill people.
"These bastards are so easy for me to find, so easy to find."
Malashenko, who forced himself to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, spoke slowly. As he continued to speak, his memory recalled the tragic event that he would never forget, and the familiar face that had passed away.
"From the Soviet Union to Poland, from Poland to East Prussia, and from East Prussia to this place now."
"I can't forget these bastards in my dreams. I haven't met these bastards who killed Kirill since the last sneak attack. I never thought I would have the chance to see them here. I even thought I could only see them again in the prisoner-of-war camp after the war. "
"No question! I, Malashenko, will not be a human being if I don't take revenge! I will take people to kill them today! "
The interrogation report copied on the letter paper has a lot of nonsense, but there is a key description that is the source of Malashenko's current anger.
The 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion of the National Defense Forces, a name that Malashenko will never forget in his life, did appear in this handwritten transcript.
According to the interrogated major who surrendered voluntarily, the 502nd Heavy Armored Battalion that came to support their regiment is now entrenched very close to the Red Army.
It is unclear how close it is. The fellow villager Iushkin who participated in the interrogation is a civilian staff member.
Although he listened to the entire process of the interrogation, he just took a record and could only point out the village to Iushkin on the map, and pointed it out according to the situation explained by the prisoner of war. As for whether it is true, he doesn't know, after all, he is not an intelligence agent.
Malashenko will never forget what the bastards of the 502nd Battalion did to the leader division. , and could not forget this old rival who had fought several times. He attacked Kirill's company in the unknown place called Marinovo Village. Due to various mistakes and extreme coincidences, Kirill was killed and the entire company was basically wiped out.
Although the Germans themselves paid a very painful price, the wreckage of the King Tiger that was destroyed, stranded, and could not be recovered and taken away in and outside the village was almost the same as the wreckage of the IS6, with only a few less.
Kirill, who commanded the company to fight the enemy to the death, did his best to achieve the best results under the circumstances at that time and did everything he could.
But it didn't matter. Malashenko didn't care how many Germans were killed in this battle and how many wreckages were left. Malashenko cared about only one thing: Kirill died here in a sneak attack, leaving his youthful blood and his life forever in the place called Marinovo Village.
It is no exaggeration to say that Malashenko swore from then on that he would never let go of the bastards of the 502nd Battalion even if he became a ghost.
Killing someone means paying with a life, and debts mean paying back.
Malashenko, who put the blame on the 502nd Battalion, swore that even if the executioners hid in the ends of the earth, even after the war was over, he would dig deep into the ground and chase the murderers for thousands of miles to avenge them, to comfort Kirill and the heroic spirits of the comrades in that company.
Now the opportunity has come, right in front of him. The executioners who killed Kirill are entrenched in a village not far away, so how could Malashenko give up this last chance for revenge before the end of the war?
Even though the leader division is still under orders to rest and has not received orders to go to the front line to fight, Malashenko, who is so angry that he gnashed his teeth, has decided to do it no matter what he thinks of.
If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, do it.
I'm going to disobey military orders today and mobilize troops without orders to avenge this! You idiots from the 502nd Battalion, I'll kill your whole family! Clean your necks and wait! I'll come and kill you soon! ! !
Looking at Malashenko's face full of anger, even unprecedented expression, he couldn't stay out of this matter either. The political commissar, who had been thinking in silence with a solemn expression, finally spoke.
