Perhaps it was because he was too sleepy that Qin Chuan had to sleep for a while until dawn was about to dawn.

Sleeping in this cold and cold situation is by no means a pleasant experience, because you will feel the cold permeable through the gaps and even pores in your sleep, allowing your body to reflect the conditioning and keep yourself a little warm and energetic in a trembling way.

Then, when you wake up and stand up, you will find that your whole body is stiff like a mummy that has just been dug out and has been sleeping in the ground for thousands of years... At this time, you should be glad that you woke up in time.

When Qin Chuan broke off a piece of bread with his frozen hands and put it in his mouth, Gerhard opened the door from outside and walked in. He shook the snow on his body and complained: "Damn the ghost weather, it's snowing again!"

"Is the situation okay?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Gerhard jumped like a spring in place, and then replied: "We had thirty-five casualties last night, but do you know? Fifty-six people were frostbite in the second half, and eleven of them were frozen to death!"

Qin Chuan was stunned when he heard this. Frostbite reduction was greater than combat reduction.

This seems not to work. If more than 100 people are reduced every day, Holm's more than 5,000 people will be finished in less than two months.

At this time, the whistling of shells came from the space.

These shells are somewhat different from the Soviet army's firepower preparations before... The shells before were all in pieces, but now they are exploded bit by bit.

Qin Chuan looked at the explosion of the artillery shells, and then realized that the Soviet army was targeting the buildings on the east bank of the Luowadi River.

It is obvious that the Soviet army wanted to destroy buildings one by one, so that the German army could lose the only space to keep warm.

Qin Chuan and Gerhard couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw the fear in each other's eyes... After bombing like this, the east coast of Holm would soon turn into ruins. Of course, the suffering included the thousands of people living in Holm, most of whom were Soviets.

"Captain, Lieutenant Colonel!" a correspondent reported: "Col. Slain asked you to meet at the command center!"

This was completely expected by Qin Chuan, and it was time to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The command center is located in the Central Hospital in Holm.

This hospital is located in the center of the east and is located in the recess of the high ground. It is difficult for shells to hit here. It is an ideal defense location.

It took Gerhard and Qin Chuan fifteen minutes to get here... The heavy snow made everything difficult.

"Gentlemen!" Seeing that everyone was here, Colonel Slain said, "I think it's time for us to discuss difficulties now. We can't make fires. Soldiers can't eat hot food. Non-combat reduction is serious. Now..."

As he said that, Colonel Slein calmed down and listened to the rumbling cannon outside, saying, "The Soviets are bombing their house one after another. Yes, this is their house and their people, but they don't care!"

And at this moment, the sound of cannons stopped.

Then there was a blunt German shout from the radio: "Soldiers of the First Infantry Regiment, you have no way out! Germany has abandoned you, you have no food, no ammunition, no reinforcements, and we will blow up all your houses! Surrender, come to us, there is hot food and warm beds here..."

Colonel Slain couldn't help but spread his hands and said, "Great, how did they know our number?"

"It could be a prisoner, colonel!" Gerhard said: "A few of us disappeared during the battle last night!"

"Or it could be guerrillas!" Colonel Slain turned his eyes to Major General Hartman.

"What?" Major General Hartman spread his hands.

"General!" said Colonel Slain, "I remember your police forces are responsible for public security!"

"Yes!" Major General Hartman replied: "Is there any problem?"

"But I have a few soldiers who were assassinated last night!" said Colonel Slain. "They were stabbed to death with a knife from behind while they were asleep in the room, and this one..."

As he said that, Colonel Slein whispered to the Soviet army outside and said, "They had timely grasped our information and attacked Lieutenant Colonel Gerhard in the west of the guards last night instead of the east of our guards. What does this mean? I don't think you are doing your duty in this part!"

Major General Hartman's face looked ugly, but after a while he nodded and said, "I will deal with these problems. After that, he put on his hat and turned around and left!"

Then, the police battalion conducted a thorough search of the town, and found two radio transmitters, several receivers, as well as several Russian-made Tokarev pistols. Five people were confirmed to have secretly contacted the Soviet army. One of them was a woman. Yes, a woman, thin and hungry, so she was skinny and skinny.

"We've caught the person you want, Colonel!" Hartman brought the five people to Slain: "I want to know what you want to deal with them?"

"Closing them!" said Colonel Slain, "See if you can get some information from them!"

"No, Colonel!" said Hartman: "I think it should be a warning to you!"

It is obvious that Major General Hartman was demonstrating to Colonel Slain, who was telling Colonel Slain in another way that it was within the police's jurisdiction to deal with these people.

Of course, this also means warning the people of Holm.

Colonel Slain was powerless to stop him, so he could only watch Major General Hartman slowly build a gallows outside the hospital. Major General Hartman even asked someone to drive all the people in the town to the square to watch.

Then with a command, the five people were hung on the noose.

The woman might have been struggling on the rope because the noose was not tied properly, or the noose was frozen and unable to be tightened. She hung it on the rope for a long time but still didn't die. Her legs were hung in the air and kicked and shaking, as if she was trying her best to reach something and stepped on it.

After a while, even Major General Hartman seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and signaled a soldier to come up and help.

The soldier stepped forward, grabbed the woman's legs and pulled it down with his weight. Then the woman struggled for a few times and stopped moving.

Colonel Slain closed the window and sat back in his seat.

Although he knew that the ruthless execution of these captured intelligence personnel was inevitable, he still felt a little disgusted with Hartman's behavior.
