Chapter 1120(2/2)
The Polish prisoners of war in the pit were threatened with rifles and bayonets.
Every time someone fell into the pit, they had to stack the bodies neatly like logs.
The purpose of the Russian Guards doing this is not to show respect for the dead. It is to arrange them neatly so that more corpses can be placed in one pit.
The corpses were stacked layer after layer, and soon the pit was filled.
Those Polish prisoners of war had to pick up shovels and cover the corpses with soil, which also buried the crimes of the Russians.
There are no fewer than twenty such teams in Katyn Forest.
These Polish officers are being handled efficiently everywhere!
Many Polish officers felt something was wrong when they walked into the Katyn Forest.
But they had no way to go, and everyone had their hands tied behind their backs. Some were even pushed down into the pit while they were still alive, and were pinned down by the heavy corpses.
Eventually, they will be buried along with the body.
It wasn't until the last moment of his life that he understood why all the officers in the army were selected!
They want to drain the backs of these prisoners!
Prisoners without an officer's leadership will become real stragglers.
There will basically be no organized resistance from them, and besides, these officers are all excellent military talents.
Doing this is the fastest and most efficient way to weaken Poland's military power.
The Russians have been wary of the Poles for a long time. How could they miss such a good opportunity now?
"Quick! We need to speed up even more. All Polish prisoners of war must be executed within five days.
As long as the officers among Polish prisoners of war are eliminated, it will be difficult for them to cultivate such a large-scale officer corps."
Ekaterina, who was in charge of this operation, came to Beria and urged her hurriedly!
This action was initiated by him to Empress Catherine.
In the early days of the war, although the Russian army received training and equipment from the Ming Dynasty, it was still no match for the Polish army!
The reason is simple. The Polish army has a large number of officers who have undergone long-term formal training.
These officer corps are not only rich in combat experience, but also flexible in thinking.
On the other hand, Russia's aristocratic officer corps suffered heavy losses in previous wars.
In desperation, Russia can only promote officers on a large scale. Most of them are just a matter of words from senior officers, and some are simply bought with money.
These people basically have not received military school education, and they don’t know much about fighting.
He is brave on the battlefield, but he knows nothing about tactics.
As for corruption, it is rampant in the Russian military.
Such a Russian army, although its soldiers and equipment were comparable to those of the Polish army, was defeated steadily.
Now that Russia has defeated the Poles with the help of Ming Dynasty, Beria believes that the most important thing is to eliminate the Polish officer corps.
As long as they are eliminated, the Polish army will become like Russia.
It may take one or two generations to re-establish an officer corps of this quality.
Accumulating talents also takes time.
More importantly, Beria knew that Ming was greedy.
What he fears most is that the King of Poland spends huge sums of money to redeem these people.
For the sake of the country's future, the Polish emperor would probably do this. And given Ming's money-grubbing temperament, he would probably agree.
As a result, the final solution was quickly implemented.
In the past few days, the Russian army has been screening prisoners for officers.
No matter what your job is, as long as you are an officer, you will be pulled out. Under the custody of Russian soldiers, you will be taken to the Katyn Forest on the outskirts of Smolensk.
The gunfire in the forest continued, and Beria nervously looked at his watch.
It will be dark soon, but more than a thousand prisoners of war will be brought over soon.
It gets dark early every day, and it is even darker inside the forest. Such an environment is not suitable for massacres at all.
After all, taking advantage of the dark night to run for one or two times is nothing new.
Beria has made a promise to Empress Catherine that she will not let anyone escape and ruin the reputation and honor of the Russian military.
"No need to fight these, just let them stand in the pit and bury them!"
In order to save time, Beria suddenly came up with a new idea.
Those Polish prisoners of war immediately kicked Yuhi's officers into the deep pit.
The pit was densely packed with human heads. The scene at this time could only be described as a crowd of people.
Beria gave an order, and the Polish prisoners of war began to throw dirt below with shovels.
The Polish officers, who were standing in a huddle, felt the dirt thrown on their bodies and understood immediately.
They wanted to resist, but there were too many people. It was difficult for them to turn around, let alone lower their heads to untie the rope.
There are still people who want to run away, but how can they escape in such a crowded crowd?
Beria saw a young officer wearing a lieutenant's rank, trying his best to get into the wall.
If possible, he should want to rub his body into the soil at the edge of the pit at this time.
But the soil still covered them mercilessly. When the soil was filled, the next group of Poles was soon brought over.
The Russian soldiers also threw them into the pit, now at the feet of the Poles.
