Comrade division commander ordered, and the people below naturally took it seriously and carried it out carefully, especially since almost everyone hated those Polish ghosts with all their teeth, so it was natural that they should treat it as a top priority.
Why do the leaders of the division, from division commanders like Malashenko, Lavrinenko, and Petrov, down to ordinary soldiers and company squad leaders, hate those Polish ghosts who beat people? The reason is naturally very
It's simple: betrayal.
Yes, it is betrayal.
In the eyes of the commanders and fighters of the Leadership Division, they are the vanguard of the Red Army representing millions of people. Their frontline is directed at the Nazis. They come to this painful place entangled with black evil to liberate the people here from the dire straits.
My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous.
From a purely 21st century perspective, such an idea may be a bit ridiculous.
The liberation of Poland was just a derivative of the Soviet-German war. It was essentially a war of destruction between Soviet and German irreconcilable ideologies. It seems a bit hypocritical to elevate a war to destroy opponents to such a sacred height, but such ideas and thinking
, but it is the reality that is happening right now.
In the leading division with outstanding combat power, a large part of the soldiers are educated, and countless of them have received higher education. Most of them are commanders below the battalion level who have taken root at the grassroots level. This ensures that these highly educated soldiers
The grassroots commanders of education can become one with the soldiers, popularize the spirit of learning required by the division organization to the soldiers, and enhance the collective soft power and cohesion.
As long as a person can understand what communism is and what the great cause of liberating the shackles of the oppressed workers and peasants around the world is, then this highly educated and knowledgeable person can influence more people around him and educate the people around him.
Promote and spread this great and sacred cause.
This is the story that really happened among leaders in the past, present, or future, and it is also a story that generally happens at the grassroots level.
Our cause is sacred and great. We rescue the people of other countries who are brutally ruled and oppressed by fascism and smash their shackles. We are the most glorious liberators and enforcers of justice.
Malashenko has always been very fortunate that his troops can view the matter of fighting abroad in this way, and strictly requires himself to play the image of a just liberator, which is very conducive to the consolidation of the collective cohesion and sense of honor of the troops.
As for whether it is true to think so and view the matter of going abroad to fight in this way, Malashenko believes that this is mainly a matter of human nature. Look at what you have brought to the people of other countries who are under the brutal rule of Fascism.
Hopeful liberation or a new round of oppression and exploitation.
If it is the former, then Malashenko believes that his troops are worthy of the title of "glorious and just liberators." This is also the goal that Malashenko hopes to achieve, at least he hopes to do his best within the limits of his ability and conditions.
Do it.
But now, this goal has encountered some obstacles. Those Poles who were liberated from slavery repaid their kindness with vengeance. They gave the Red Army soldiers who fought with the German fascists a bloody nose and had peach blossoms on their faces. They did not know what gratitude was at all.
.
This kind of stabbing in the back, which is heart-wrenching behavior, is considered tantamount to betrayal by the vast majority of the leadership division commanders, and is the most irritating and infuriating kind.
So when those Polish ghosts who dared to beat people were beaten half-crippled on the spot by the angry Red Army soldiers and dragged to the square like dead dogs to prepare for public trial and execution, there were many people responsible for guarding the scene.
The eyes of the soldiers who maintained order were filled with resentment, and they just wanted to see these Polish ghosts pay the price as soon as possible.
"Have everyone gathered?"
Malashenko, who had arranged the matters at hand, came to the scene in person. He wanted to witness this moment with his own eyes, and then see how the Poles who came to watch would react. This would make it easier for Malashenko to take the next step.
action.
After hearing Malashenko's question, Alsim, who was assigned to lead the team to do this, quietly nodded in response. This veteran with rich combat experience and good at physically conquering German sticks by various means has now obviously
In Malashenko's eyes, there was quite a "bright prospect" of being reused.
"A total of eighteen people, all brought here. Without exception, they are all men, most of them are young and middle-aged, and a few are old men. As men, these bastards do not use their strength to deal with the Germans, but use them to deal with them.
We have nothing to say to them. Comrade division commanders and soldiers all want these backstabbing bastards to get the end they deserve."
Malashenko has heard many versions of similar words, and Alsim can only say "old things are said in a new way" now, but the core meaning remains the same.
Seeing those badly beaten Polish ghosts being dragged to the execution ground like dead dogs, the political commissar of the First Brigade in charge of the public trial was already preparing to read out the documents. Malashenko stood on the sidelines before the last moment.
From my perspective, there is one last question I want to ask Alsim, who has personally participated in everything from beginning to end, and I want to hear his answer and opinion.
"We also killed many Poles during disguised raids. In the eyes of most Poles themselves, they are national heroes and just rebels. The future history of this country is destined to remember these people."
"It is true that we can put the blame on the Germans and write history as the victors. But Alsim, under the premise that the truth will not change and will only be hidden and overwritten, what do you think we are doing now?
Is it just? Can I stand above these Poles who stab me in the back and judge everything from a commanding height? This is what I care about."
"Don't worry too much, I'm not confused about this, and I already have the answer in my heart. I just want to hear how you view all this, as a grassroots commander who is always fighting on the front line, not like me.
From the perspective of a teacher who is in charge of the overall situation, I want to hear your truest opinion, so just say what you think."
Malashenko's question was somewhat caught off guard. Alsim, whose educational level was almost non-existent, was unexpected and even had to spend more time thinking about the meaning of Malashenko's words. However, this
It doesn't affect him from giving an answer immediately after thinking about it.
"I have never thought about justice or wrong. Comrade Sir, I am not afraid of you laughing at me. I have never read any books since I was a child, and I don't understand these principles and principles."
