Red Moscow - #2401 - Chapter 2400: Bloodbath of the Gendarmerie
Seeing the old man’s excitement, Sokov couldn’t hold his breath. Not caring about waiting for the staff officer to come back, he walked toward the door of the military camp, and Yakov quickly followed him pushing Lukin’s wheelchair. Behind them were more than twenty security guards holding assault rifles.
When Sokov was still some distance away from the old man, he heard words such as “twin daughters”, “damn little devil” and “worse than animals” coming from him. He immediately realized that the little devil must have done something outrageous, and quickly quickened his pace.
When Sokov came to the staff officer, he immediately raised his voice and asked: “What’s going on? What happened?”
The old man who was introducing the situation to the staff saw a large group of soldiers rushing towards him. He suddenly trembled with fright and did not dare to continue talking. Fortunately, the staff officer had already learned the general situation from the old man, and when Sokov asked about it, he hurriedly told the story.
In the past, when the Japs ruled the Northeast, the entrance to the Japs’ military camp was known as the Palace of Hell to ordinary people. Even if they passed by here, they would stay far away to avoid being targeted by the Japs, and they would be captured directly into the military camp, and then their lives would be saved. worries. Now that the Kwantung Army has surrendered, everyone’s fear of the Japs has lessened a lot, and they now dare to pass by here without hesitation.
Today, a middle-aged woman took her twin daughters out to visit relatives. When she passed by the gate of the military camp carrying large and small bags, she was spotted by two Japanese soldiers who were out shopping. They first pestered the mother and daughter, and finally They snatched the two sisters into the military camp. The mother was crying at the door, attracting so many people to watch.
“It’s really outrageous.” After hearing what the staff officer said, Lu Jin said with a straight face: “The Kwantung Army has surrendered. How can these soldiers dare to harm the people so arrogantly?”
After Sokov learned what happened, blood suddenly rushed to his head. He pulled out his pistol, quickly came to the door, and asked a soldier blocking the door loudly: “Those two little boys?” Where did you **** the girl?”
But although these Japanese soldiers could not understand the Russian spoken by Sokov, they understood what he wanted to express. One of the sergeants seemed to think that Sokov was a little nosy, and he chattered a lot.
Sokov couldn’t understand what the Japs were saying, so he turned around and asked the people watching, “Which of you knows what he’s talking about?”
In the Northeast, which has been ruled by the Japanese for 14 years, Japanese has become a language that must be learned in schools, so most people can speak a little Japanese. A person in the crowd dressed as a student squeezed over and repeated the Japs’ words to the staff officer who was acting as an interpreter: “The Japs said, this is the gendarmerie, and they don’t need to explain to you what they do.”
When the student was translating, Sokov had already understood what he said. Only then did he realize that this was actually the Japanese gendarmerie. No wonder they were so rampant. He didn’t wait for the staff to translate what the student said to him, and hit the sergeant on the head with the handle of his gun, knocking him to the ground.
Seeing the sergeant lying on the ground with his hat off and blood streaming down his forehead, the people watching were stunned for a moment, then stood up and cheered.
The sergeant raised his hand and touched his forehead. When he saw that his hand was covered with blood, he became anxious. He got up from the ground and reached out to touch the pistol at his waist. But how could Sokov give him a chance to draw his gun and just pull the trigger on him?
After the two gunshots were fired, the sergeant covered the wound with his hand, stared at Sokov in disbelief, staggered two steps forward, and then fell to the side. After a few twitches, there was no more movement.
The gendarmes standing at the door were stunned for a moment when they saw the sergeant being shot dead by Sokov, and then rushed over with guns in hand, preparing to avenge their sergeant. How could the guards behind Sokov give them a chance? They picked up the assault rifles in their hands and fired. After intensive gunfire, all the military police fell into a pool of blood.
The people who were watching did not expect that the Soviet troops, who they thought were just watching the fun, actually shot and killed all the military police at the door of the military police station without warning. They screamed and ran in all directions, fearing that the military police inside would rush out later and cause death for them. However, they did not run far. After running twenty or thirty meters, they found a place to stop where they felt safe and continued to watch the fun.
While the people were running in all directions, the Japanese soldiers standing on the guard tower quickly pulled the bolts of their guns and prepared to shoot downwards. But before he could pull the trigger, the guards below had already fired first. The Japanese soldier who had been shot several times screamed and fell from the guard tower.
After the gunfire stopped, apart from Sokov and his men, there was only a middle-aged woman in her forties sitting on the ground at the door. Apparently, she was sitting on the ground crying, and the gun battle just now scared her so much that her legs became weak and she was unable to escape like the others.
“Misha.” Lu Jin and other Japanese gendarmes at the door were all beaten to death by soldiers from the guard company. He shook his head and said to Sokov, “You are so impulsive. You killed one on the street a few days ago.” The Japanese soldiers participating in the patrol. Today was a good day. I killed seven or eight members of the Japanese military police in one go. You have caused a big disaster.”
“Captain of the security company,” Sokov was still thinking about the two girls who were kidnapped by the Japanese. He didn’t care what Lu Jin said. He called the commander of the security company and told him: “Bring people in to search, be sure to Rescue the two girls who were kidnapped by the Japanese.”
“Yes, Comrade Commander.” After the guard company commander gave a loud response, he waved his pistol at his subordinates standing behind him and shouted: “Follow me!” Then he took the lead and rushed into the military police headquarters.
“Misha,” Yakov walked to Sokov and asked in a low voice, “What do you think the situation of those two girls is like now?”
“I don’t know.” Sokov is not a god. How does he know the current situation of the two girls who were snatched into the gendarmerie by the Japanese? He can only shake his head and say with a wry smile: “I hope we are not too late. Otherwise, even if we rescue people, they will choose to commit suicide when they return home because they can’t stand others poking their spines.”
The gunshots at the door alerted the other military policemen in the gendarmerie, and they immediately rushed out with weapons in hand. The guards and soldiers who encountered them did not tolerate them. Anyone who saw a weapon in their hand would pull the trigger directly at them. For a moment, gunshots rang out one after another in the yard.
Hearing the gunfire in the yard, Lu Jin shook his head and said, “Misha, things are a bit big today. I don’t know how to end it in the end.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Sokov thought that Xinjing was Lyudnikov’s territory. With his friendship with the other party, there shouldn’t be much problem in settling this kind of thing, so he said confidently: “I will tell Lyudnikov General Kov explained.”
Yakov drew his pistol and said to Sokov: “Misha, you stay with the deputy commander, I will go in and see how the situation is.”
“Yasha, you can’t go in.” Sokov heard the gunfire from the gendarmerie. He was worried that if Yakov broke in like this, he might be in danger, so he quickly stopped him: “It’s too dangerous inside. Sokov’s words reminded Lukin, and he quickly echoed: “That’s right, Comrade Chief of Staff, it’s too dangerous inside. You can’t go in and take risks. It’s not too late for us to go in again after the battle inside is over.”
“Comrade Commander.” Gorokhov, who had been sitting in the car, saw the fighting here and was worried that Sokov and Yakov were in danger, so he rushed over with the remaining soldiers. He asked the soldiers to enter the gendarmerie and assist their comrades inside to eliminate the recalcitrant Japanese gendarmerie. Then he stood in front of Sokov and said: “The noise we are making here is a bit big. What are your plans if the garrison in the city comes?” Disposal?”
“It’s okay, Comrade Military Commissar.” Faced with Gorokhov’s concerns, Sokov said confidently: “This is Lyudnikov’s territory, and I will explain it to him personally.”
“Misha, I feel something is wrong.” Yakov turned around and said to Sokov: “There were only gunshots from the assault rifles of the security company, and there was no sound of the 38-meter cover. Do you think they will?” Will there be no bullets?”
“No bullets?” Hearing what Yakov said, Gorokhov couldn’t help but be stunned, and then asked: “Comrade Chief of Staff, why do they have no bullets?”
“I thought that General Lyudnikov might not be able to place these Japanese military police for the time being, so he confiscated their ammunition and left them only weapons without bullets.” Yakov said: “Otherwise, I really can’t explain why he was attacked. When we attacked, the opponent did not fight back.”
As he spoke, Yakov bent down and picked up a 38-inch cap with a bayonet from beside the gendarme’s body. He pulled the bolt and showed it to Sokov and others: “Look, there are indeed no bullets in it. Do the Japanese gendarmes have it?” Guns with bullets are meant to scare people.”
“Yasha, regardless of whether there are bullets in their guns or not, if they just point their guns at us, they deserve to die.” Sokov gritted his molars and said: “As far as I know, the island country occupies China. In the past ten years or so in the Northeast, the gendarmerie has done the most bad things. Since they have hit the muzzle of my gun, I don’t mind a **** massacre of the gendarmerie.”
The gunshots inside rang out for a while, then finally stopped. The guard company commander, covered in blood, came out of it, raised his hand and reported to Sokov: “Comrade Commander, all the military police in the yard have been wiped out, and there is not a single person left alive.”
Looking at the blood stains on the uniform of the guard company commander, Sokov asked with concern: “Comrade company commander, are you injured?”
“No.” The guard battalion commander shook his head and said, “It was the enemy’s blood that splashed on me. I was not injured. I counted 48 corpses in the yard, plus 6 outside, a total of 54. , leaving no one alive.”
“What a great job.” Hearing that not a single Japanese gendarmerie soldier was left alive, Sokov couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. After praising the guard company commander, he then asked: “The casualties of the guard company.” How’s it going?”
“No one died. Only two soldiers were accidentally stabbed with bayonets by the Japanese military police, but the injuries were not serious.” The guard company commander said: “Their wounds have been bandaged and will not be in the way.”
“Have you found the two girls?” Sokov glanced at the middle-aged woman who was still sitting on the ground. Although he knew that the other party could not understand Russian, he still asked in a low voice: “Were you not harmed by the Japanese military police?”
“No, Comrade Commander.” said the guard company commander: “Fortunately, we arrived in time and the Japanese military police have not succeeded yet. Only the clothes were torn, but I have found two clean clothes for them to change into.”
As the guard company commander was talking, Sokov saw two young girls of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing very new Japanese clothes, walking out slowly with the support of soldiers. Seeing the middle-aged woman sitting on the ground, the two people exclaimed, then rushed forward and knelt in front of the middle-aged woman. The next moment, mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
When the people watching from a distance saw the two girls kidnapped by the Japanese military police walking out of the courtyard of the military police and crying with their mother, they couldn’t help but praise Sokov and the others for what they had done. When they saw the corpses of the Japanese military police being carried out of the yard one after another and thrown on the roadside like garbage, they couldn’t help but cheer. There were even people who knew a few words in Russian, who gave a thumbs up and shouted at the same time: “Well done, well done Davarich!”
After the corpses of the Japanese military police were piled on the roadside, the troops maintaining law and order in the city arrived. When the officer leading the team saw the corpses piled on the roadside and the blood on the ground, he walked over and asked loudly: “Who is in charge here? Come out and tell me, what happened here?”
“Captain,” Sokov pushed aside the soldiers blocking him with his hands, came to the officer, and said to him: “I am in charge here, which part are you in?”
The captain clearly saw that the person standing in front of him was actually a general. He hurriedly shouted to his subordinates behind him: “All of you are here, listen to my command and stand at attention!” Then he stepped forward to salute Sokov and reported himself Home: “Comrade General, I am Captain Shamyakin of the 76th Regiment of the 27th Guards Division.”
“I am General Sokov, commander of the 53rd Group Army.” After revealing his identity to Captain Shamyakin, Sokov said: “When we passed here, we were attacked by the Japanese military police. In order to defend ourselves, we I had to order the gendarmerie that massacred the Japanese. I’m afraid you can’t handle the matter here at your level, so you’d better call your superiors and let them handle it personally.”
After hearing what Sokov said, Shamyakin only hesitated for a moment and made a decision in his mind: “Okay, Comrade General. I will immediately call the division commander, General Glebov, and report to him what happened here.” , please come here to deal with the aftermath.”
Seeing that Shamyakin was so sensible, Sokov smiled and nodded, and said: “Comrade Captain, please call and report as soon as possible. My men and I will stay here, waiting for General Glebov’s arrival.” arrival.”
Shamyakin returned to his team, looked around and found that there seemed to be no place nearby where he could make a phone call. He called a soldier and told him: “Hurry up and report to the regiment, saying that General Sokov of the friendly army has just led a **** massacre of the gendarmerie. Please ask the regiment commander to inform the division commander and come over as soon as possible to deal with the matter.”
The soldiers who received the order did not dare to neglect, and after loudly agreeing, they ran towards the direction of the regiment headquarters.
