Chapter 2577 "Their Goal Was Achieved"
"Give me the flashlight, does anyone have one?"
As soon as Malashenko reached out his hand and finished speaking, a clever soldier beside him immediately took out his belongings from his belt and handed them to the division commander.
The not-so-spacious well room was dark, with only a small skylight and a small electric light to illuminate the room. Even if the two plus one were put together, this little light was obviously not enough to illuminate the truth hidden in the stinking well.
Malashenko, who had received the flashlight, immediately raised his hand and pointed it at the dark and completely unfathomable well in front of him, and pressed the button to turn on the light in order to illuminate the well.
""
Malashenko lay on the side of the well and looked down, holding the edge of the well with one hand and holding the flashlight with the other hand. His expression was almost frozen. For more than ten seconds, he didn't say a word or give any orders, as if he was completely petrified by the well and turned into a stone statue.
Not knowing what was in the well, and not knowing what Malashenko had seen to make him behave like this, Kurbalov, who was standing by, was silent but anxious.
Seeing that the division commander had not responded, he had no choice but to ask.
"Comrade division commander, what's wrong with you? What's in the well?"
"Look for yourself.
Facing the question raised by Kurbalov, Malashenko did not say much or hesitate, but chose to hand the flashlight in his hand to Kurbalov.
Looking at the division commander's expression, which was not very talkative but extremely complicated and hard to read, and looking down at the flashlight handed over by the division commander, Kurbalov, who could not think of any other choice, could only take it, and then walked towards the well that exuded a foul smell.
He stretched his hand towards the well with the shining flashlight and looked down at the flashlight that the division commander handed over. After looking forward, Kurbalov, who had a normal expression, thought he was dazzled at first. He quickly blinked his eyes and shook his head, and continued to look at the bottom of the well with the flashlight.
"This, ugh"
Even though Kurbalov was a "hard-core man" praised by Malashenko, and the colonel commander of the first heavy composite brigade, the most elite of the leadership division, he had already experienced many battles and was knowledgeable.
But at this moment, the scene at the bottom of the well in front of him still made Kurbalov, who had not had time to digest his lunch, feel his stomach churning, coupled with the pungent and unpleasant smell that made people dizzy, almost died. Vomited it out on the spot.
Or let’s put it this way, it was precisely because Kurbalov had been through many battles and had seen a lot, and was the “iron man” praised by Malashenko, that he could resist the churning in his stomach and not vomit on the spot in such a scene.
The scene in the well illuminated by the flashlight was so horrifying that Kurbalov, who saw corpses on the battlefield every day, felt extremely uncomfortable.
A pile of human corpses whose genders and shapes could not be seen were sunk to the bottom of the well. Of course, not all of them sank, at least some of them were above the water.
Those half heads, arms, and palms that were above the water , or half of the calf are all in strange shapes and postures, coupled with this dark scene, the pungent smell of corruption, and the liquid surface that looks like the black water of hell, even the strongest man will feel extremely uncomfortable.
Although everyone present is a true atheist, they firmly believe that the fate of tomorrow can only be created by their own hands and not determined by God. But if you have to find the most appropriate way to describe the scene at the bottom of the well, it seems that there is no other more accurate and appropriate way to describe it except "the scene of hell".
"There are people everywhere here, all dead! "
Kurbalov's shock was not limited to words, but also written all over his almost distorted face.
Malachenko, who was standing by, had already noticed that there was a rope hanging by the side of the well, one end of the rope was on the ground beside the well, and the other end was directly connected to the bottom of the well and was submerged in water.
Although what he was going to do next might be beyond his endurance limit, Malachenko could fully foresee it.
But he had to do it to get the truth completely, so even in the face of predictable nausea and even pain, Malachenko still decided to let the dark truth at the bottom of the well be revealed to the world.
"Pull up the rope, gently, don't use too much force."
"In addition, if you feel uncomfortable, put on the gas mask, it's not shameful. ”
Not everyone has the ability to withstand the "storms and waves" like Malashenko
After all, even among the millions of Red Army soldiers, only a few have experienced the hellish bloody battles of Stalingrad.
"
The division commander's "sudden" order was a little unexpected. Although several soldiers who were still holding back hesitated, they finally obeyed the division commander's permission and chose to do so. They took out the necessary gas masks from the small satchels they carried with them, unfolded them, and put them on their heads.
Some people did not choose to wear gas masks. Most of them were relatively old veterans who looked a little old.
Just like Malashenko, who had no intention of wearing a gas mask, the limit of tolerance for such things depends on one's own experience and knowledge.
Old soldiers who have experienced all kinds of life and death and blood and corpses may be able to bear it. Younger soldiers with less experience find it unbearable. To be honest, it is not shameful. It is shameful to endure it knowing that you can't bear it. If you are really suffocated in this place, it will be a joke.
"Go open the door and get some fresh air"
The rope connected to a heavy object at the bottom of the well has been pulled up. Malashenko, who was squatting not far from the well and watching, did not forget to give additional orders to open the door for ventilation.
Squeaky——
The moment the sound of the door opening came, while the sound was still echoing in the ears and had not yet dissipated, two veterans who were not wearing gas masks had already pulled up the rope connected to the object at the bottom of the well.
Of course, what was pulled up must not only be the other end of the rope, but also the thing tied to the rope.
A severely corrupted, swollen and rotten body, with a strong stench all over the body and deformed by water, it is completely a highly rotten corpse of "Giant View", and it is only one of the "scenery at the bottom of the well".
"It looks like it has been at least three days, or even four days or longer. It can't be like this in one or two days."
Malashenko's face did not have any unbearable and shocking expressions. The expression when he first saw the scene in the well had completely disappeared. Now there was only a bitter and cold smile on his face.
"This is the "greeting gift" left by the Nazis for us. Their goal has been achieved."
