With the help of German prisoners, the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion quickly established more than twenty anti-aircraft firepower points in the granary. After the prisoners finished their work, the soldiers of Grisa Company drove them to the place of detention.
When many prisoners, escorted by soldiers, passed in front of Goliath and Lida, suddenly a tall and thin prisoner rushed out of the crowd and threw himself in front of Lida.
Although the incident happened suddenly, Lida was also a veteran of many battles. She quickly pulled out the pistol from her waist, and before she even had time to turn on the safety, she put it directly against the opponent's chin.
The prisoner felt something hard pressing against his chin. He quickly raised his hands high and said in fluent Russian in a panic: "Don't shoot, I don't mean any harm?"
The soldiers who were escorting the prisoners came to their senses at this moment. They were all scared to death and rushed over one after another. Countless black guns were fired at the prisoner who was about to rush out from the crowd. They only waited for Golia's sound. On command, the opponent will be beaten into a sieve.
Golia raised his hand to stop the soldiers' intention to shoot, and asked the prisoner: "Do you know Russian?"
"Yes, Mr. Major." After the prisoner saw the rank on Goliath's shoulder straps clearly, he replied respectfully: "I once spent a year at the School of Architecture in St. Petersburg..."
"We only have one city called Leningrad, and there is no St. Petersburg." After Golya said this in a disdainful tone, he looked at the other party's military rank and asked: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, you suddenly rushed out of the crowd. , Aren’t you afraid of being shot to death randomly?”
The German second lieutenant nodded and said in a positive tone: "Mr. Major, you are right. If I suddenly rush in front of you like this, I might be shot to death before I can speak. But if I do this, it is also There is no way."
"Lida, put your gun away first." After Golia asked Lida to put the gun away, he asked curiously: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, what is your name, and what is it worth taking such a risk for you?"
"My name is Otto, and I am a platoon leader of the 168th Infantry Division." said the German second lieutenant: "Several of my men were injured when they were captured. Since there was no medicine, I just used bandages to help them bandage their wounds. . Not long ago, I found that their wounds were showing signs of deterioration. I wonder if you could provide them with some medicine to prevent them from dying due to wound infection?"
If in other troops, encountering this situation, the commander would definitely ignore it: his own wounded do not have enough medicine, where can there be excess medicine to treat the enemy's wounded? Isn't it the best ending to let them die?
But in Sokov's army, it was a different story. Sokov once told his men that as long as they were not SS soldiers, captured German wounded must be treated. Therefore, Golia turned around and called Grisa and told him: "Captain Grisa, call the health officer of your company over and ask him to treat Second Lieutenant Otto's men."
As Sokov's old subordinate, Grisa naturally knew that Sokov had given this order. After hearing Goliya's instructions, he immediately answered loudly and turned to find the hygienist.
Second Lieutenant Otto originally took a chance and took a chance to prevent his subordinates from dying of wound infection. He did not expect Golia to agree so readily, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
Golia saw Otto's thoughts and said to him: "Mr. Second Lieutenant, do you feel strange that I agree to your request so readily?"
"Yes, Mr. Major." Since Golia got straight to the point, Otto didn't hide anything, so he said it directly: "I thought you would let my subordinates fend for themselves."
"Mr. Second Lieutenant," Golia did not evade the question, but said openly: "If we were in other troops, maybe they would really not care about your wounded. But our situation is different. We are Sokov General’s troops.”
"General Sokov's troops?" Otto asked in surprise when he heard what Golia said: "Aren't they all Russian troops? How can they be different?"
Golia shook his head slightly and said: "Our commander, General Sokov, once gave us an order that all captured German officers and soldiers, as long as they are not SS, will be given preferential treatment, and you will be given enough food and Medicines to protect your personal safety."
After Otto waited for Goliath to finish speaking, he asked tentatively: "Has General Sokov really given such an order?"
"Yes." Golia replied in a positive tone: "He did give such an order."
"Comrade Major," Lida interrupted and asked Goliath: "The German prisoners helped our camp build an anti-aircraft firepower point. Do you think we should give them some reward?"
"Reward?" Golia asked in surprise, "What reward?"
"Distribute enough food to them." Leda glanced at Otto and continued: "I think they are all hungry."
Golia heard the implication of Lida. After each army captured German prisoners, they would not give each other enough food. They usually gave each other ten pieces of black bread for every one hundred people. There were more than two hundred prisoners here, and every meal Just over twenty pieces of brown bread are needed. The usual method is for the soldiers who distribute food to throw the bread into the crowd one by one. Whoever grabs it gets it; those who cannot grab it deserve to starve to death. Who makes them our enemies and invaders of the motherland? What about the invaders?
He did not express his position easily, but asked: "Comrade Lida, how do you plan to distribute food to them?"
Lida had seen imprisoned German prisoners of war, so she naturally knew what it was like to distribute food, so she said: "We sent special personnel to distribute food to them to ensure that every prisoner of war can get their own food."
Seeing that Lida was willing to take the initiative to take on the task of distributing food, Golia said smoothly: "Okay, Comrade Lida, then I will leave this matter to you."
Otto heard clearly the conversation between Golia and Lida, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. Although this was his first time as a prisoner, he had never eaten pork and had never seen a pig run away. He had been to a prisoner-of-war camp before, where every day during meals, the guards just threw a few pieces of black bread into the crowd of prisoners, and watched the prisoners fight for the meager food, while they laughed. He originally thought that he would encounter similar treatment after becoming a prisoner, but he did not expect that the other party would arrange for someone to distribute food to him, which moved him very much.
Half an hour later, Lida personally led a dozen female soldiers and began to distribute food to the German prisoners.
Although all the weapons were confiscated from the prisoners, their food was still there. When they saw someone distributing food to them, they quickly formed an orderly queue and stepped forward to receive the food.
Originally, according to Goliath's wishes, each prisoner was given two slices of bread per meal, as long as they were starved to death, so as to prevent them from causing trouble when they were full. But after Leda's request, Golia agreed to give each prisoner an extra spoonful of thick porridge.
The prisoners who received the food were very surprised when they saw that the female soldier who distributed the food not only gave themselves two slices of black bread, but also scooped a spoonful of thick porridge for themselves. Although this food is not much, it is already very rich for them after being hungry for a day.
A dozen people distributed food to more than two hundred prisoners, and the work went quickly. In less than five minutes, the food distribution was coming to an end. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
A young woman wearing a headscarf ran out of nowhere, pushed away a German soldier who was about to receive food, and then yelled at Lida: "Comrade commander, how can you die for these things?" Where are the invaders providing food?”
Lida looked at the young woman in front of her, frowned and asked, "Comrade woman, who are you and why are you here?"
With the help of German prisoners, the women's anti-aircraft artillery battalion quickly established more than twenty anti-aircraft firepower points in the granary. After the prisoners finished their work, the soldiers of Grisa Company drove them to the place of detention.
