"Kalpenko?" Bobanski's hands, which were originally hanging down on both sides of his body, suddenly clenched into fists. Next to him, Lieutenant Anita's calm and gorgeous face suddenly appeared. The expression of hatred, this second "Kalpenko", was asked by her.

For the Poles in the Galicia-Volinia area, they used to hate the Soviets. It was just after the Soviet Union and Germany partitioned Poland, and during the few years of being occupied by the Germans, they The hatred of the Soviets is not so deep. Instead, it is the Germans and Ukrainians—yes, they are not just against Ukrainian nationalists, but against all Ukrainians. After all, in the face of racial slaughter, they must It is not easy to keep the slaughtered party sane.

For Bobansky and others, Kalpenko and the Ukrainian rebels under his command are undoubtedly direct enemies for a long time in the past. The hatred between them is too deep and cannot be resolved. . How deep is this hatred? Just look at Bobansky's performance. He hated his toothache when he heard Kalpenko's name.

"Yes, Kalpenko," Victor nodded, turning his gaze to Lieutenant Anita's face, and at the same time, repeating in a calm tone, "Dmitry Kalpenko, his hands are covered with innocent blood. Executioner."

The tone of voice paused, he turned slightly, looked towards the far-reaching stretch of swampy jungle, and then said: "This poisonous snake is for everyone in the Galicia-Volinha region. A threat."

Merkulov turned around knowingly, took out a stack of folded documents from his pocket, raised his hand to Bobansky, and said: "Look at this document, Comrade Major, and then you Will understand our determination."

Bobansky took a deep breath, calmed down, and then reached out and took the file.

The document is about the various massacres committed by Kalpenko and his troops in Warren, Lviv, Lublin and other places in the past two years. Naturally, it also includes the recent massacres. The Lavalosskaya tragedy.

"According to what we know, Comrade Major," Victor turned around again, and waited until Bobansky had read the document before saying, "In the past two years, your 27th Infantry Division and Karlpian The units of Kosovo frequently fought against each other. If anyone knows the executioner best, then it must be you. So, this is the reason why I wrote a report and applied for you to be transferred."

Bobansky glanced at the file in his hand again, the expression on his face hesitated.

On the issue of ethnic conflicts in West Ukraine, the alliance’s attitude in the past has always been very vague, and for the Soviet border guards in West Ukraine, when they deal with Polish nationalists, they are far more tough than the Ukrainian nation. Activists.

Before the outbreak of the war against Germany, and even before the Soviet army advanced into Poland, the main opponents of the border guards, workers and peasants police in West Ukraine were the Polish guerrillas and saboteurs, because at that time, Ukrainian nationalists were mainly Activities in Poland.

It was in those years that the opposition between the border defense system and the Poles was very high. Therefore, in the contradiction between Ukrainians and Poles, the border defenses tended to lean towards the former. From this point of view, the Ukrainian rebels The reason why the fierce flames in West Ukraine are so high is not without other reasons.

Bobanski's hesitation at this time is that he still can't figure out the true position of the alliance on this issue.

"Comrade Major," Victor could of course figure out the thoughts of the Polish major comrade. He smiled and said, "You don't have to have any doubts about the question of the suppression of Kalpenko. This is not just our National Security Committee. The main task of the Ministry and the NKVD at the moment is also the main task of Moscow. At this point, at least there will be no changes in the short term. Comrade Major, you only joined the People’s Army recently and today. So, yes I don’t know much about the political trends of the alliance. If you still have concerns, you can read the newspapers of the alliance in the last few days. I believe you can get enough confidence from the relevant reports in the newspapers."

Although Bobanski is not a Soviet, but a Polish, he has been dealing with the League for a long time. Naturally, he knew that what was repeatedly promoted in the League’s media was the current political theme. Victor’s advice to him was to read more newspapers.

"No, no, General Victor Victorovich, I have no worries," Bobansky explained in a hurry to Victor's suggestion that he couldn't let Victor have such an impression of himself.

"Comrade Laren, I will call you that from now on," Victor interrupted him and said with a smile, "Of course, you can also call me Victor directly."

Reaching out and patted Bobanski's shoulder, and pointed his finger to his chest, Victor smiled: "We are not only a relationship between comrades, but also a relationship with colleagues, and, if nothing else, we Will be a long-term colleague."

"Colleague?" Bobansky's face showed a puzzled expression.

"Let’s talk about your opinion of Kalpenko first," Victor did not explain for him, but brought the topic to the subject, and said, "As for other things, I will talk about it later."

"Okay, Victor General... Ah, Victor," Bobansky nodded and said, "For this man Kalpenko, I have been dealing with him for nearly two years. The troops under my command are under his command. Those people have exchanged fire at least dozens of times, but even so, I have never seen this person with my own eyes."

Speaking of this, he turned his head, glanced at Lieutenant Anita next to him, and said, "Lieutenant Anita has seen that vampire demon with his own eyes, but that was also many years ago."

"Oh?" Victor turned his head curiously and glanced at Lieutenant Anita.

Before, even though he had said hello to the other party, he really didn’t pay much attention to this young lieutenant. Until now, he didn’t look at the other party for a while, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that this young lieutenant was curled up in the back of his head. The young woman with a round brown hair bun has a very attractive charm.

"For Anita, it was not such a great memory, so I won't introduce you to it," Bobansky said.

"It's okay," Lieutenant Anita didn't mind very much. She raised her hand and closed a strand of hair that was hanging from her temple.

Victor's eyes moved back and forth over the two of them, a little curious in his eyes.

"I joined Laren's team in December 39," Lieutenant Anita licked her lips and said on her own initiative, "and before that, I was just an ordinary villager in Smeding Village, just like my father. It's a hunter."

At this point, she stopped, reached out to touch her pocket, and then took out a small paper bag.

"The village of Smedin is just a small place, in the town of Tosannek in Luke, right at the intersection of the towns of Tosannek and Sulk," Lieutenant Anita lowered his head and touched it. The stained paper package was opened, revealing a few cigarettes wrapped in it.

Cigarettes are rolled by hand, giving people a shoddy feeling. Obviously, Lieutenant Anita is not a dexterous lady.

"In November of that year, the Union army entered Luke County. There were rumors everywhere that the Soviets were all demons. Countless people would be killed where they appeared, and the Poles were the first targets of their elimination." She took a cigarette out of the small paper bag and held it in her mouth. As a result, the cigarette was not well preserved and broke in the middle. She could only put the cigarette back in the paper bag and try to find a better one.

Victor took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the lieutenant while scanning the map in his head.

The so-called "Luke County" is the old name, just in the border area of ​​Warren State.

Seeing the cigarette handed over by Victor, Lieutenant Anita's eyes lit up. She folded the paper bag and put it back in her pocket. Then she took the cigarette from Victor's hand, lit one for herself, and said: "At the time, I was busy getting engaged, my fiance... Forget it, forget him, I have forgotten his name, anyway, in order to avoid misfortune, our family left Smeding Village and fled to Rozaxi town."

Victor was still waiting for the woman to return the cigarettes, and he also came to get one, but he did not expect that after lighting a cigarette, the other party directly put the whole pack of cigarettes into his pocket. Seeing her comfortably put the cigarette into her pocket, Victor froze for a moment, then smiled dumbly, but said nothing.

"What was the name of the village at the time, I don't know." Lieutenant Anita spouted out a puff of smoke, and the tip of her scarlet tongue came out of her **** mouth, gently pressed her upper lip, and spit out a smear of tobacco. He said, "However, on the first night of arriving in the village, Kalpenko showed up with people. He told us that they were from the Polish Refugee Assistance Committee and asked all of us to follow them. Settle in another village."

"They were very enthusiastic, and there were people in that village who testified for them, so no one had any doubts," said Lieutenant Anita, with a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. Yearning, followed them overnight to leave the village and rushed to the village named Paboski Ostrow."
