Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 254 The roar of the refugee camp!
"That's right, I am the commissioner Duan Wu!"

Standing on a high place, Duan Wu used his highest voice to identify himself to everyone present.

"Commissioner, this man has taken my husband!"

"Special commissioner, my son was taken away by them, you have to decide for me?"

"The commissioner, my younger brother, was arrested by them."

···················
All the common people came forward to petition. If the guards hadn't blocked it, they would have surrounded the Dragon Boat Festival with three layers inside and outside.

Facing the crowds of people at the Dragon Boat Festival, his face remained unchanged, and he still said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't worry, don't get excited, let me understand the situation, and then make decisions for everyone, okay?"

"Okay, we trust the commissioner!"

"Yes, Commissioner, you are a good officer!"

The common people supported one after another and stepped back a little.

However, at this time, Cheng Wanli reported to Duan Wu, "Brother Duan Wu,"

"cough!"

Duan Wu coughed heavily, and Cheng Wanli immediately understood, and quickly changed his words loudly: "Report to the special commissioner, I was ordered to recruit soldiers, but these people did not cooperate, so I can only arrest them."

Duan Wu asked loudly: "Then do you know you were wrong?"

Cheng Wanli replied loudly: "Report to the commissioner, I know I was wrong."

But at this time, Duan Wu roared again: "If the officers of your 87th Division make mistakes, what kind of punishment will you receive, please tell me loudly?"

At this moment, Cheng Wanli seemed to understand something.The Duanwu kid wants to borrow his own head for use.

Of course, that's what it means, but the head may not be borrowed.What's more, it's not that bad, it's just that the conscription is unfavorable, which has caused the people's dissatisfaction.

So Cheng Wanli replied loudly: "When an officer makes a mistake, the crime will be increased. He will be given forty military whips."

"After thinking of you, I will lead soldiers to fight, and go to receive twenty military whips!"

Dragon Boat Festival order.At this time, all the soldiers of the 87th Division were stunned.Because the conscription is unfavorable this time, the battalion should not be entirely blamed.

The order of the Dragon Boat Festival is to recruit troops quickly, recruiting hundreds of soldiers in one hour.This is not so easy.Even though they came here with oceans and everyone was given two oceans, no one wanted to join the army.

Because the common people are frightened by the devils, and there are rumors that the devils only kill people with guns.So no one is willing to risk their lives for the two oceans.

What's more, at this time, they have food, drink, and a place to live, so they don't want to leave anymore.

So being comfortable can sometimes kill people.Even if it is a short peace, they are also working hard to enjoy it.

It's just that they didn't know that the danger was approaching step by step, and the arsenal of the 44th Division was bombed.Devils may rush over at any time.

Therefore, the conscription of the Dragon Boat Festival and the evacuation of the people in the city must be accelerated.

And this is why the Dragon Boat Festival has to sing this bitter trick.

To quell public anger, let the common people understand what a soldier is, and let them know that not all soldiers are cowards and fear of death, but there are also tough guys like Cheng Wanli and the 87th Division Independence Battalion.

Amidst Cheng Wanli's roar, the soldiers had already begun to whip.

Cheng Wanli's subordinates may not listen to Duanwu, but they will definitely listen to Cheng Wanli.Cheng Wanli asked them to fight. Although they felt it was unfair, they still wanted to fight.

Cheng Wanli was shirtless, and the first time the whip came down, there was a scarlet streak of blood.

"Try harder, haven't you eaten?"

Cheng Wanli roared again, and the soldiers of the 87th Division beat him down with a whip in tears.With this whip, the flesh and blood suddenly swelled up, and the blood seeped out instantly, which was shocking after seeing it.

The common people covered their eyes when they saw it.Although the whip didn't hit them, they seemed to feel the same way.

That kind of pain is chilling.

After Cheng Wanli was whipped five times, some ordinary people couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Don't beat him, after all, he still wants to keep Changshu!"

The soldier in charge of the execution stopped and looked at Duan Wu, because everyone knew how this person would be beaten after the twenty lashes passed.

But Duan Wu was indifferent.Cheng Wanli yelled again: "Keep fighting, what are you looking at? A soldier wins sympathy, that is a disgrace. If I, Cheng Wanli, can't resist twenty military whips, what kind of soldier is I?"

"Yes!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
A series of whippings left Cheng Wanli bloody and bloody.Cheng Wanli gritted his teeth and endured, trying not to make a sound.

At this moment, the people couldn't stand it any longer. Some were crying, while others were begging on their knees.

People's hearts are fleshy. Although Cheng Wanli did use improper methods to recruit soldiers, they were also for the country and to protect them.

And they resisted only because they didn't want to die.

But they also know that if no one stands up to stop those devils, then who will guard this country?And where can they escape?

When Duan Wu waved his hand at this time, the soldiers in charge of the execution immediately stopped.

When the two soldiers untied Cheng Wanli from the hanging crossbar, Cheng Wanli almost lost his footing because of the pain and knelt on one knee on the ground.

But Cheng Wanli tried his best to stand up and said: "Thank you for the commissioner's mercy, and thank you folks for pleading for me. I, Cheng Wanli, made a mistake. I am a rough person. Please don't argue with me."

Cheng Wanli saluted all the people present at this time. The people were not angry at this time, but their intestines were green with regret.

They regretted why they were so aggressive and wronged such a good officer just now.

At this time, Duan Wu said loudly: "Folks, all those who were arrested will be released. But I want to say: this time the conscription is not for you to go to the front to fight, but for you to take up guns and protect your people." Family members, protect the Kong Dashan people who gave you food along the way.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are made of flesh, so it's not unreasonable to eat other people's food and escort them to the rear.Although he is a rich man, why should he provide food relief to all of you?
If you were you, would you do this?Take out all the food to relieve thousands of refugees?

I don't think anyone would do that.

So, you now have two paths to take.The first one is to stay in Changshu and live and die with our soldiers.

The city is here, we all live together, the city is broken!We all die together.

Or it is the second one, temporarily form an escort team of [-] people, take your military pay, take your guns, and go straight to Nanjing with the Kong family to avoid this war.

You have to know how long it takes to walk from here to Nanjing.How much food do you need?
And you will be a team, not alone.You will be safer, even if the bandits in the mountains see you, they will take a detour.

Now, my words are over!Please tell me, what are you going to do?To stay and die.Or go to Nanjing with the Kong family to avoid this war? "
