under fire

Chapter 849
Lao Geng ran down the riverbed with the team, watching the bloody scenes of soldiers of the Ninth Company mercilessly clearing the prisoners along the way, feeling at a loss and numb for a while.

After following a soldier and picking up a rifle from the ground, his mood turned from nervousness to excitement.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion continued to advance northward, it seemed that no one paid attention to his action of picking up the gun, so he quickly pulled another rifle on the ground and put it on his back.

The palm of his hand and the cold metal of the rifle he was holding began to sweat, and after pulling two bullet belts to hang on his body, the excitement completely overwhelmed the tension, and his eyes were shining, and he ran behind the team advancing north .

There was a lot of voices ahead, but there were only occasional gunshots. It seemed that the battle was drawing to a close.

When he ran up the river embankment out of breath, he saw the health soldiers of the Ninth Battalion bandaging and sewing the wounds of the wounded, and there was a lot of strange screams.

Most of the fighters are cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner.

Some soldiers escorted the disarmed security forces to the wilderness north of the embankment.

Some people carried the corpses of security forces into the darkness.
Looking at the captives squatting on the ground, Lao Geng's excitement turned into hatred. He really hated those traitors who worked for tigers!
Many comrades died at their hands. Seeing the familiar faces of the security forces riding on the heads of ordinary people in the past, he clenched the rifle tightly in his hand, his whole body seemed to be trembling, and there was only one voice in his heart: dog R You also have today.

After a few steps, he ran to the captives who were kneeling on the ground, and saw the faces full of fear one by one.

They were all from the same town, and there were two people in the security forces who knew Lao Geng. Seeing that the rifle and bayonet in Lao Geng’s hands were sharp, they quickly lowered their heads, knelt on the ground and trembled like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and did not dare to meet Lao Geng’s eyes. See.

He looked back and forth like this for a long time, wishing to kill a few security forces like soldiers from the Ninth Battalion, but unfortunately, he didn't have the guts to do it at all. ． ．
The captives brought over several wounded soldiers of the security forces, and heard the painful wailing, screaming, and groaning of those wounded soldiers. ． ．
He suddenly lost the pleasure in his heart, and felt more heavy instead.

Calm down slowly.

No matter which side of the people died, it is the strength of the people of the country!
Even if the other party becomes a traitor, they should still be able to save him. Thinking of this, he turned around and walked onto the river bank.

Lao Geng trotted all the way, quickly found Hu Yi, and asked directly: "Can Battalion Commander Hu be merciful?"

Hu Yi, who was standing on the embankment blowing the cold wind, turned his head, expressionless: "What did you say?"

Old Geng couldn't bear it: "I don't think it's possible to take these people over. After all, they are also Chinese."

"Is it necessary?"

"Actually, I really wanted to kill all these people just now to avenge the dead comrades." Lao Geng said incoherently: "I admit that yesterday, I thought you were just Lu. At that time, I really hoped that you could Get rid of these traitors."

Hu Yi was speechless: "You won't forget what you just said to me so quickly, will you?"

"At that time, I only had hatred in my heart. Maybe I should have been blinded by hatred!" At this point, Lao Geng paused: "I think the superior asked us to unite all the anti-Japanese forces. I think... it should be possible to pull them into Come to the anti-Japanese team."

Hu Yi shook his head, without any emotion in his voice: "Don't forget that they are enemies. You told me just now that every one of them has blood on their hands."

Thinking about the past, Lao Geng murmured: "Many of them were also forced by dog ​​traitors. Everything is because the traitor forced each of them to stab our comrades with bayonets in order to prevent these people from betraying the truth."

"You are an old underground worker. You should know the story of letting the tiger go back to the mountain and the farmer and the snake!"

Old Geng summoned up his courage: "I understand that you are the battalion commander, and you should also be aware of the last of our eight points of attention: not to abuse prisoners."

Speaking of this, if I insist on doing it again, I will definitely make a mistake!Therefore, Hu Yi wisely did not speak any more.

Luo Fugui, who was standing behind Hu Yi, couldn't help it: "Grandma's shot them all. Where did the abuse come from?"

He didn't enjoy the pleasure of looting the corpses of the prisoners himself, so he was in a bad mood and his tone was full of hostility.

The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and there are not many educated people in Jiuying. This understanding seems to be no problem.

For the first time this time, Xiong didn't pick up the corpse himself, because since Xiao Hongying was injured, he was asked by Hu Yi to keep an eye on the girl all the time.

So after strictly ordering his soldiers to resolutely carry out his orders, he himself followed the girl to the North River embankment.

Luo Fugui himself knew that these words were unreliable, and the small area where several people were standing immediately fell silent.

They all pretended to inadvertently see the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, carrying corpses and taking prisoners busy.

In fact, Lao Geng has no culture, so after hearing Luo Fugui's words, he froze on the spot. What Company Commander Luo said seems to make sense
Is it cruel to give it a good time?
After a long while.

Two gray shadows came in a hurry.

Ma Liang walked quickly to Hu Yi with a soldier and saluted: "Battle Commander!"

Hu Yi looked Ma Liang up and down, and frowned: "What's going on?"

Ma Liang glanced at his bandaged arm, and grinned: "Hey, it's all right. It was pierced by a bullet, no bone was hurt, and it has been bandaged!"

Hu Yi nodded: "Be careful next time!"

Ma Liang then asked, "Do it now?"

Lao Geng, who was listening next to him, understood what Ma Liang was asking!
However, he really couldn't bear it, and asked Hu Yi again: "Can you let me communicate with them again?"

Both Hu Yi and Ma Liang turned to look at Lao Geng.

Old Geng seemed to have made a sudden decision: "The Eighth Route Army cannot kill prisoners! This is not good for you either."

Hu Yi turned his head and glanced at Ma Liang, and then said to Lao Geng: "You can figure it out!"

Almost all the captives were taken under the river embankment, a total of more than [-] people, half of them were wounded and half of them were not wounded. Looking at the dark gun muzzles around them, no one dared to speak.
Now there is still a glimmer of hope if he is not dead, but in his heart he all hopes that the other party will show mercy.

Wu Laojiu, who had just been escorted over and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, saw Lao Geng's familiar figure appearing in his sight, and immediately felt ashamed, as if he had fallen into the Nine Heavens Cold Cave.

He came again, and finally caused a commotion among the prisoners.

The three security forces who should know Lao Geng knelt on the ground and used their knees as legs to crawl to Lao Geng's side desperately: "Old Geng, please forgive me, we have no other choice."

"do not move."

"Squat well."

"be honest."

The guarded soldiers put their guns down, and the other security forces on the ground quieted down, watching to see if the three could save their lives.

The captives did not resist at all, and their inferiority of fear of death was fully exposed.

A certain one who was knocked down on the ground directly hugged Lao Geng's calf, sobbing with tears streaming from his nose, "You know, Wu Jinshan forced those things before."

"We have never robbed you of food." There are no people on the plain, and we still rob you.
"We even gave porridge to the disaster victims" is true, but the fact is not necessarily the truth
"Look. We didn't burn a house when we came back." How can we collect taxes if the house is burned and people are gone?

"That's right, that's right, we didn't take a hair from the village." There is nothing in the village. Did you come all the way and carry a few door panels back?
"You collected the corpses for Balu, and I helped you." This guy seems to have forgotten that Lao Geng collected the corpses of those martyrs killed by the security forces, and gave him three oceans for each one.
As for now, his life is almost gone, so how can he care about face at this time?The three security forces kowtowed like chickens, desperately begging for mercy.
Lao Geng looked at the chaotic scene, and his mind went back to the past. Many times, he and his fellow villagers were driven to the town by the security forces, and he saw comrades die at the hands of these traitors with his own eyes.

He remembered very clearly that his downline was tortured so badly by the traitors that when he saw him, he just nodded to him inadvertently and did not betray him!After being confirmed by the traitors as Balu, he changed into a different person and yelled at those traitors for a terrible death, and then died generously!
Comrades were buried alive and suffocated to death
The traitor released the dog and was killed alive.
was hanged alive.
He was burned alive by the traitors pouring oil on the sky lanterns
When did these traitors show mercy in their hearts?
What Company Commander Luo said, don't abuse prisoners
Does shooting count as cruelty?
Shouldn't count!
When I went to the district meeting, the superiors emphasized many times that these puppet soldiers and traitors could only be dealt with after verifying their identities, and whether they should be shot or not should be decided by the work team!

As an underground traffic officer, he is not qualified to decide the life and death of these people.

Although he was not qualified, he knew very well in his heart that none of the comrades in the armed task force were here, and with Jiuying's iron and blood methods, it was entirely up to him to say whether to kill these people or not!

Old Geng looked at the hopeful eyes on the ground with a gloomy expression on his face.
It would be great if they could be their own people, this is not a small armed force!

Having taken root and worked here for many years, he deeply knows how difficult it is to develop a base area in the enemy-occupied area, and now several platoon leaders of the security forces have been killed
If the superior can send someone to lead this team, wouldn't all of this be solved?

But can these people use it?

He is not sure either!
He has heard the story of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, the story of the farmer and the snake that Battalion Commander Hu said!

If he hadn't interrupted the conversation between Commander Hu and Company Commander Ma just now, the traitors in front of him would probably be almost buried in the ground by now.

Working at the grassroots level for a long time, he knows better than anyone else that as a human being, no one was raised by his parents after 20 years of hard work with a piece of shit and urine.
Many people had nothing to do with Wu Jinshan. They were originally poor, but because they really couldn't make it through, they turned to Wu Jinshan and became the security force.

I also thought of the desperate but firm eyes of those sacrificed comrades before they died. These people's hands were all covered with the blood of their comrades, and his head was flooded with blood: All these traitors who defected to the enemy deserve to die!

All of a sudden, the noise around him seemed to gradually fade away, and he just felt like he was in a mess!
He was hesitating whether to save the lives of these security forces.
Two voices kept intertwining in my mind, one to kill and the other to keep these people.
This matter is really too big, he is just a traffic officer, how can he experience such a big scene!

Dozens of lives are in his hands!

Old Geng is really dumbfounded
