Chapter 44 Deficit

This is Lotruff.

Will.

Eric became a prisoner of war for the second time. He was captured by the Allied forces while lying in the rear hospital of the German army, and this time he was caught by the Soviet army while standing in the field hospital of the Allied forces.

Time and space have changed, the situation of war has changed, and the mentality has changed. Only the identity of the prisoner of war has made him feel embarrassed from the bottom of his heart.[..com]

The German volunteers who were captured with Eric showed tenacious will in the arduous defensive battle and did not withdraw their positions until they were injured. They were soldiers from the four Western allies, the United States, Britain, France and Poland. Among those who could name Eric, the highest rank was US Major Brooke. The guy's soldiers lost more than 70% in the continuous defensive battle, which changed people's previous subjective impression that the US military could not persist in fighting if they had suffered casualties of 30x. The most tenacious one was Polish second lieutenant Novak, who was blown off one leg by Soviet artillery shells. When the medical staff lifted the blood-covered guy down, people thought he was determined. Unexpectedly, he not only survived the surgery and recovered from the lack of medical treatment.

He was quite optimistic; the most humorous one was the British Sergeant Henry. This young man with freckles and a garlic-shaped head like Chaplin very much. The injury on his arm could not stop him from imitating the world-renowned British comedy star. In addition, there was the French Lieutenant Vincent who could speak multiple languages, and the American Private Wealth who liked to recite poems, etc. These people turned the poor field hospital into a hodgepodge with a warm atmosphere, which made the wounded lose the bad situation many times until the main force of the Allied Southern Line commanded by Alexander successfully withdrew. The multinational troops who served as the "drag-backed central defender" finally surrendered to the Soviet army while being siege and fighting alone. They also collectively became prisoners of war.

Unlike the imagined tyrannical scene, the Soviet officers and soldiers who captured these Allied wounds in the form of a victor are not gentle but not rude. They asked Allied medical staff to continue to treat these wounded soldiers who performed well on the battlefield and established a temporary prisoner-of-war camp nearby, which looked even better than the Allied prisoner-of-war camp after World War II. After another snowstorm, the Soviet army began to transport these prisoners away in batches. The new injuries on Eric's legs were generally healed, that is, they were re-entered into the captive German volunteers. He soon discovered that the prisoners of war from the United States, Britain and France were sent to the north one after another, only the Germans

The Poles stayed. The doubt did not last long. A German colonel wearing an old defense force uniform appeared in front of these German volunteers who served the Allied camp and told them that the Soviet Union was organizing German prisoners of war to establish a "German Liberation Army" of millions. This army would fight with the Allied forces with the Soviet army and eventually expel the Allied team from Germany's land. The Soviet government would ensure that Germany's sovereignty was intact after the war ended, and allow the "German Liberation Army" to retain as Germany's only legal armed force.

The awkward name obviously comes from the "Russian People's Liberation Army" that rebeled against the Soviet Union during World War II. It is ironic now that the Soviets gave German prisoners of war to their own side. However, within half an hour, most of the more than 6,000 German volunteer soldiers in the prison camp made the same choice: to leave the Western Allies' camp to join this "Germany People's Liberation Army". Eric did not truly believe the beautiful vision of the Soviets' calligraphy and painting, but felt that serving the Allies was to get rid of the bleak life of the prison camp, and the same was true for fighting for the Soviets. Moreover, the actual conditions provided by the Soviets are more ideal than Western allies. It is better to be able to fight side by side with their past comrades under the command of German generals than to be driven by the Allies to act as auxiliary roles such as reconnaissance and engineering.

The realistic choice was soon rewarded. After joining the "Germany Liberation Army", Eric and the German volunteers who had previously served as the back guard of the Allied forces, traveled more than 40 kilometers south to a small Ukrainian town called Annoche. The Polish soldiers who also chose to serve the Soviet camp also formed another formation to go elsewhere. On the banks of the Nanbug River outside Annoche, the German soldiers immediately started to build a barracks.

In the next week, several more troops composed of German prisoners of war arrived here. The barracks continued to expand, and this ordinary and quiet town became a large barracks of the "German Liberation Army". These rigorously trained Germans did not have to repeat basic military training. Under the direct supervision of Soviet officers, they quickly carried out squads and reorganizations. Eric was incorporated into the "244th Infantry Regiment", this new unit.

The team basically continued the organization of the National Defense Forces, but they added positions such as political commissar and military discipline inspection in the regiment and battalions, which were typical Soviet-style positions - both positions were Soviet officers, and the regiment commander was a German army colonel in his forties. Out of caution, Eric omitted the fact that he had served as the commander of the "Vampire" Night Fight Commando when reporting his personal information, and was assigned to the ordinary infantry company.

As the deputy platoon leader, his immediate boss was a German Army lieutenant who was slightly younger than himself and graduated from a regular military academy. Although the supplies provided by the Soviet Union were very limited and food could only fill his stomach, Eric's sense of loneliness was greatly reduced in such a combat force composed of Germans. When the familiar German weapons were distributed to his hands, he gained a long-lost sense of peace for the first time since the defeat of the Empire.

The 244th Infantry Regiment and several other German troops of the regiment-level scale stayed in Annoche for three weeks, which was a temporary separation from the war and killing. After a series of bloody and cruel fights, Eric believed that many comrades around him would rather live like this, but the moment to go to the battlefield came. During the march, various news spread among the troops: the Soviet Union will launch a full-scale offensive to the Western allies with the victory of the winter war, and this time the powerful Soviet armored forces will open the way in front.

The "German Liberation Army" with a total strength of more than one million only needs to attack as closely as the Soviet infantry - this is optimistic news; the Western allies that have failed continuously have decided to use atomic bombs. Before the Soviet army crosses the Polish border, they will drop atomic bombs into the areas where the Soviet army gathers, and one is enough to kill hundreds of thousands of troops - this is pessimistic news; the Allies also drove hundreds of thousands of Germans to guard the defense line on the Polish border, and the next tragedy of brothers and sisters may occur on the battlefield - this is extremely contradictory news.

The huge marching troops headed eastward, countless tracks, wheels and military boots turned the road with the snow melting into a quagmire. Eric remembered the scene when he followed the troops to embark on Soviet land for the first time. It was a cool but distressing autumn. Even heavy rain turned the road of the Soviet Union into a swamp. The worst area was difficult to pass even armored vehicles. However, both the National Defense Forces and the SS, the officers and soldiers were filled with tired smiles, and everyone was looking forward to winning a sure victory. Many people have even begun to discuss the destiny after defeating the Soviet Union and crossing the English Channel. Looking back, how wonderful the situation was that year was - but now they have to take mechanical steps to wait for an unknown fate.

"Don't speak! Keep the marching speed! Don't speak!"

A vulgar shout came from the front. Eric looked up and saw the political commissar and military discipline inspection in the camp. The military discipline inspection in the blunt German asked the soldiers to silence. The military discipline inspection that looked as strong as a brown bear was the military discipline inspection. The fluent German political commissar was two-digit smaller than him. He was fair in skin and quiet in behavior. He only turned into a "hypnotic phonograph" when he stood on the stage to speak - the nickname given by the German soldiers in private, he was good at speaking those seemingly moving principles, which made people feel that they were indeed fighting for the cause of justice. There were even a few young men who fell into the "Bolshevik trap" - they reported their thoughts to the political commissar and even hit their companions' reports. They stopped this foolish behavior after being beaten by their companions.

Under the threat of powerful authority, the German soldiers had to shut their mouths honestly. After four consecutive days of hiking, they were getting closer to the Polish border, and Allied planes began to appear frequently. Soon, sharp and rapid whistles and screams of "air raids" came from the front of the team. The officers issued the order to evacuate and hide in the first place. Compared with those Soviet recruits who were not very experienced, the German soldiers had long been helplessly accustomed to the enemy's air raids. Eric and his comrades would not run wildly to hide for five.

Going sixty meters away, he quickly left the road and fell down in the fields next to him. In a blink of an eye, a powerful engine roar came from the sky. This was a wonderful note in some people's ears, and in others it was noisy noise and even death whimpering. The anti-aircraft guns that followed the team or deployed in advance near the road opened fire. Bang bang pong sounded very lively, but it was far worse than Eric squatting in an air defense bunker and listening to the vastness of urban air defense war. Under the bright sunshine, the allies attacked

The fighter jets dived down with disdain for the air defense firepower on the ground. The rockets were shot gorgeously at the baggage vehicles, artillery and rookies on the road that had no time to retreat. The ground under the people began to shake in the deafening explosion sound, and the crisp sound of fried beans also came in the sky. Unless they hid in a bunker with good conditions, the people who temporarily avoided the air strikes could only avoid the name of the god of death by praying for good luck. Then, several cunning Allied fighter jets flew through the nearby woods at a low altitude, and they went from

The round bomb dropped under the belly of the aircraft and flew away as if nothing had happened. After a moment, the fierce flames burst out from the woods with a stunning aura. The blazing light was even more dazzling than the sun's light, and the area of ​​the combustion area was even greater than imagined. Witnessing this scene, the German soldiers lying in the snow to avoid the air strikes could only pay silence for the ignorant Soviet recruits while feeling grateful. Before the Soviet Jacques fighter jets arrived, dozens of Allied wars that had been riotous had already left, leaving the ground in a mess.

Eric has long been used to this kind of "passing shoulders" with the god of death that has remained at least ten meters long. He climbed up calmly and pulled his companions beside him. Looking around, many soldiers were killed in air strikes on the road and around him, but it was much better than those who entered the woods and were attacked by incendiary bombs. The supplies cars and towed artillery that were damaged by rockets could only be temporarily brought to the side of the road for the maintenance troops behind to see if there was a way to repair them or use the waste.

"Everyone goes to the woods to save people! Go to the woods to save people!"

The sound of "brown bear" was clamoring in his ears again. What's ridiculous is that a sentence was mixed with one or two Russian words. Although I could understand it, most of the German soldiers stood in the woods with blank expressions. The fire became more and more prosperous. Apart from seeing a few dying voices staggering towards me, they were all in the kingdom of the God of Fire.

Seeing the German soldiers reacting so coldly, the Soviet military discipline inspector actually raised his whip in anger, and whipped it. One, two, three whip whip slapped the two German soldiers. The wind blew the fire, and the wailing and moaning sound seemed to suddenly fade. People only heard the sound of the whip whip. Although it was not the key, a large group of Germans holding weapons around turned around and stared at each other and stared at the instant. The aura burst out was extremely terrifying. The "Brown Bear" was stunned. He obviously did not expect that his unintentional actions would cause a strong reaction as scheduled. Only then did he remember the special discipline that his superiors repeatedly reiterated before taking office. It was impossible to continue to punish them, but it was psychologically unbearable to apologize to the Germans. It was neither too much to lose the whip in his hand, and his face turned red and white.

At the critical moment, the political commissar who was injured in a bruises while avoiding the air raid came. He shouted with a slight harsh voice: "What are you doing when you are standing there? There is no distinction between the Germans and the Soviets here. There are only comrades and comrades who share the same pursuit of justice and also yearn for victory. Everyone can help! The situation is really bad!"

At this time, not only were those who joined the rescue ranks wearing Soviet uniforms, but some figures in wilderness gray uniforms were also heading to the burning woods. It was impossible to save people from the depths of the fire. The wounded who barely escaped from the woods were still smoking on the buttocks, and some were unable to be sent back to the rear for treatment in time. When the political commissar approached a German captain and muttered, he muttered, "Let's go", the surrounding German soldiers with angry eyes gave up the confrontation and turned away.

They did not rush to the woods to save people, but just walked towards the woods slowly and slowly. Some soldiers walked to the two whipped companions and expressed their comfort and support. Eric did not say anything during the whole process. He heard a companion whispering, "Sooner or later, the bastard will find an opportunity to retaliate against us. When we go to the battlefield, we have to find an opportunity to kill him first." He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the "brown bear" was saying something to the political commissar indignation.

In the past, when the two armies fought against each other, they could soothe the hostility and hatred of both sides in just one year, and turn into comrades in the same trench? Eric suddenly realized that the days of ease had never really come.

On February 18, 1946, a heavyweight showdown was staged again in the Eastern European battlefield, which had been silent for three weeks. Civil war was ignited in Hungary. The Bolsheviks launched an armed uprising in the southeast near Romania. Soviet troops stationed in Romania immediately crossed the border to support the rebels. The Hungarian government forces and the Allied team stationed in Hungary lost consecutive battles. The Soviet army was directly aimed at Budapest. The Bolsheviks led an armed uprising in southern Czechoslovakia. The rebels quickly seized important passes and bridges in the Carpathian Mountains. The Czechoslovak government and allied troops tried to regain control of the pass bridge before the Soviet army arrived. Many American and British paratroopers also cooperated to launch an armed uprising.

The Soviet army that passed through eastern Hungary to Slovakia was blocked by the Allied forces and was suppressed by the Allied forces. A few of them used the mountains to turn into guerrilla warfare. Realizing that the Soviet army was trying to use Slovakia to bypass the southern end of the Polish defense line, the Allied forces quickly mobilized troops to strengthen their defense in Czechoslovakia. The Allied long-range bombers that took off from Poland also flew over thousands of kilometers to launch super-large night bombings on Leningrad and Moscow. On the night of February 24, the main urban areas of Moscow were shrouded in raging fires, and the Kremlin was almost in ruins. Two days later, the Soviet army finally launched three routes from Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine to launch three routes on the Allied defense line.

At the beginning of the battle, the Northern Front Army commanded by Marshal Huasilevsky unexpectedly conquered the Allied fortress system in Kaliningrad - it was also the second time this famous Soviet general had captured the place. In this fierce battle that lasted less than 72 hours, the Soviet army secretly deployed long-range heavy artillery and naval bomber units to attack the US and British fleets that carried out near-shore support for the Allied operations, damaged many Allied ships and forced the artillery fleet to retreat. After reversing the firepower comparison on the battlefield, more than 400,000 Soviet officers and soldiers launched a strong attack with overwhelming artillery power and large-scale smoke screen cover. On the same day, they broke through the Allied direction in southeastern Kaliningrad, following the 1945 Konisburg Battle
