Chapter 2104 Feeling Hollowed Out
"Very good, the preliminary statistics show that there are more prisoners than expected. Google search shows that there are about 5,000 prisoners in Camp 1, and more prisoners in Camp 2, close to 10,000. It is certain that there are more than 10,000 prisoners in total. How is the situation in your camp? How many prisoners have been rescued?"
More than 10,000 prisoners have been rescued in Camps 1 and 2, which is a very amazing and even surprising number.
You should know that in the existing history, when the Red Army finally liberated Auschwitz, it only rescued about 7,000 people.
At first glance, it may seem like a lot, and it is quite a lot.
But you have to know that this damn place has massacred more than one million people in total, and the 7,000 people rescued are not even a fraction of this number and are not worth mentioning.
Of course, even if the number of people who can be rescued now is more than doubled than in the existing history, it still seems to be a drop in the bucket. The number of people who died tragically here and were massacred is really too much and too shocking.
However, just as Malashenko had planned in advance, it would be a good thing to rescue even one more person from Auschwitz, not to mention that now there are more than 10,000 people rescued. Malashenko squeezed the radio transmitter in his hand and quickly answered the political commissar on the other end of the radio.
"I don't have that many here. The preliminary statistics are about 3,000 people. The three battalions add up to 17,000 or 18,000? This is much better than expected. Comrades, you did a great job!"
Malashenko was frank about his final conclusion on the radio, and the political commissar on the other side also answered after hearing it.
"It's hard to imagine that so many people are imprisoned here. How did you know in advance? I have no idea about this. Do you have any special intelligence channels?"
The political commissar's doubts are justified. Comrade Lao Ma is not at the division headquarters all day and has become a hands-off boss. The intelligence system and docking work on the division headquarters are all handled by the political commissar. It stands to reason that there should not be special intelligence that "the division commander knows, but the political commissar does not know", but this is exactly what happened in Auschwitz.
Malashenko seemed to be extremely sure that many people would be rescued from this place. He even skipped the request from his superiors and decided to go to the expedition at the level of the division headquarters. Moreover, it was a high-speed mechanized interweaving that rushed over 100 kilometers overnight.
To be honest, if you put it in the ordinary Red Army division, it is hard to say whether it can rush over 100 kilometers in one night. Only the leader division can be sure to do it.
And it was also thanks to the fact that the German army cluster on the southern front was caught in a double attack by "Laoma in the rear and Konev in the front" in the past few days, which made the formation chaotic. The defeat-style retreat was turned into a completely chaotic and crazy escape.
And it was also made suspicious and paranoid by the leader division that rushed around and attacked at a very fast speed, which seemed to appear at any time in various directions and then hit you hard. Whenever they encountered the Red Army tank troops, they were terrified and thought that "Stalin's guard troops are coming!" Seeing the Red Army tanks, they fled before fighting, which has become a relatively common and common battlefield situation in recent days.
It could be that the Germans were too weak because they were crazy, or that Malashenko was lucky and happened to not fight against the main force of the Germans at night and then fought in the field.
But Malashenko's bold long-distance night attack has always been incomprehensible to the political commissar.
If the division commander did not have accurate intelligence support, how could he make such a bold, clear-cut, and sure-fire combat plan? He even did not hesitate to fool Konev and was always ready to use "lost" and "brother went the wrong way" to prevaricate. If you analyze it carefully, you will know that there is a big problem.
The political commissar is not the kind of curious baby who breaks the casserole to get to the bottom of things, but in this matter, he always wants to ask Malashenko to see if there is anything he doesn't know that the division commander is willing to reveal to him, provided that such a thing really exists.
"It's not convenient to talk about this now. I'll tell you in detail when I'm free. Let's find a chance. That's it for now. If there's anything else, we can talk about it in person. End of call."
Malachenko certainly couldn't tell the political commissar the truth, because there was really no way to tell it! You can't say "Brother, I'm not a Russian, I'm a turtle. Even this body was passively possessed after traveling through time. As a future person, isn't it reasonable for me to know Auschwitz?" If you say that, the political commissar will think you have a problem with your brain. How can the materialistic political commissar believe these gods, ghosts and snakes? Even dogs don't believe it!
As for how to explain to the political commissar in the future, let's think about it later. Anyway, let's just make do with it for now, and there's no time to think about it so much.
After ending the call with the political commissar and hanging up the radio, it was obvious what Malachenko had to deal with next: those fascist killers who surrendered.
As I said before, Comrade Lao Ma doesn't have much time to dawdle here. Konev's inquiry telegram may come at any time. Maybe there will be urgent combat missions waiting for the leadership division to complete urgently.
Therefore, we have to deal with these fascist murderers quickly. Malashenko doesn't want to leave this opportunity to others. As the liberators of Auschwitz, all the officers and soldiers of the leadership division are crying now. If they don't punish these perverted fascist murderers personally, they will definitely regret it for the rest of their lives.
"How is the situation? How many have been caught in total? Have you counted them?"
The person who was called by Malashenko to inquire about the situation was Valosha. Since becoming the new commander of the combined brigade, this tough guy who followed Malashenko through the bloody sea of Stalingrad has been very busy. The difficulty of leading a combined brigade has increased exponentially compared to leading an infantry regiment.
These days, Valosha has been commanding operations during the day and cramming command skills at night. From time to time, he has to take a notebook to Malashenko and Political Commissar Petrov. These "big guys" in his mind do homework and take notes overnight, so that they can combine actual combat, find deficiencies and correct them, and improve their command skills as soon as possible to better serve as brigade commanders.
As for the price, of course, the eyes of our brigade commander have become panda eyes. He hasn't slept well for many days and is exhausted. He looks like a Taoist who is about to reach the stage of ascension.
Seeing this miserable face, Malashenko decided to speak again before Varosha answered.
"You have to pay attention to rest. The premise of being a good leader is that you have the foundation to continue leading. The body is the capital of the revolution. How can you lead the troops if your body is broken?"
"Look at you now, it's like you are almost hollowed out! What will the comrades below think when they see you like this? You are not allowed to look for me and Comrade Political Commissar within three days, and you are not allowed to look for anyone to work overtime at night. If it is not necessary, rest early and ensure sleep. This is an order, and I need people who can execute orders. Do you understand!?"
