Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 18 The public trial in Qingfeng Village
July [-], sunny.The farm is a little lively today.In addition to the original villagers, there are also many new faces. They are people from dozens of villages in several surrounding towns and villages. They heard that there was an "event" here and came here specially.

Among these outsiders, some have penises inserted into their waists. Although they are covered by their coats, they are bulging and can be seen by those who are accustomed to using guns at a glance.

"Hey, isn't this Old Wang?"

"Old Feng, are you here too?"

The two heads came together, observing the surrounding environment and communicating in low voices.

"Old Wang, what do you think Zhang Zhiqing wants to do? He invited us here. I heard that Qingfeng Village has not been quiet these days, and the gunshots are very loud." Feng Wanyun patted his waist: "I was so scared that I brought Got two shovels."

Wang Baoyi looked at Feng Wanyun and laughed: "You're still a man of education, so you can't understand this? You're really not suitable for this. You can just wash your hands and go back to teaching."

"Old Wang, just tell me, what did you see?"

"The Qingfeng Village with the surname Bao has a bad reputation and is also the strongest. The Eighth Route Army has always loved the people, so naturally it is impossible to let these bastards go. And after killing Zhen Sanshan, we will know the strength of the Eighth Route Army. Even if we don't We are willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, and we don’t have the guts to break other people’s rules.” Wang Baoyi said, and glanced at the entrance of the village: “As for us, we used to rob the rich and give to the poor. Now we are all anti-Japanese activists, and we are always going to fight the Japanese with black guns. The surrounding area With so many forces, we are the only ones who like them."

"I understand when you put it like that. The Eighth Route Army is killing chickens to scare monkeys in Qingfeng Village, but it is buying bones for a lot of money. But since we are here, Qingfeng Village is probably in danger."

"You are indeed a well-educated boy. You speak in a refined manner and have the sour taste of a scholar... Speaking of which, since you have avenged your great revenge, there is no need to become a bandit. In my opinion, if you have the chance, just join the Eighth Route Army."

Just when Feng Wanyun was about to say something, the village suddenly started beating gongs and drums, and then a group of people rushed to the entrance of the village.A banner was pulled up there at some point, and the people crowded in front of the banner, talking excitedly to each other. The noise made the two heads of state far away feel noisy.

Wang Baoyi withdrew his gaze: "Old Feng, what's the word on it? What does it mean? I only recognize the word 'big'."

"Public trial meeting. Qingfeng Village is probably finished. Let's go and have a look."

The scene was more crowded than expected, with thousands of people crowded at the entrance of the village.Under the banner, soldiers from the two district squadrons were on guard with guns on the left and right. There was already a row of people kneeling between the two, and there were 23 people in total.Although they all lowered their heads, Feng Wanli and Wang Baoyi still recognized a few of them.

After waiting for a few minutes, Captain Zhang of the District Squadron arrived with a large force.The district squadron's NO. 50 people all had rifles on their backs at this time, looking majestic.

"Hey, Zhang Zhiqing, this district squadron has sent out weapons. In the past, we only had a few guns, but now everyone carries a gun? The firepower of both of us combined is not enough to fight him."

"Where did he get so many guns?"

Just when the two of them were surprised, Captain Zhang was already standing in the center: "Folks, I am here to announce good news: we have defeated the bandit's stronghold. From now on, Qingfeng Village in Dayou Township will no longer exist!"

The words were followed by a burst of cheers, and it took several minutes for the sound to quieten down.

The two people in the crowd looked at each other and shook their heads.It seems that Bao Zhong's so-called "suppression of three mountains" cannot calm people's hearts at all.He has not been killed for so many years. It is simply because the victimized villagers are too weak to kill him.This time if it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will be the end of it.

"We killed 40 bandits and arrested 23, but it was a pity that the bandit leader Bao Zhong escaped. Today we are here to hold a public trial meeting to publicly try these bandits who have done all kinds of evil! The villagers who have been oppressed by them can attend the meeting Accuse them for what they did!" Subsequently, every time Captain Zhang read out a name, a large group of people would come forward and tell their own history of blood and tears, which aroused the resonance of the onlookers.Some victims even fainted from crying.In the end, the bandits were convicted one by one amidst the outcries.

The whole process lasted more than three hours.

"Okay, 23 out of 21 will be executed. This Qingfeng Village is really..." Wang Baoyi shook his head. Although he was also a bandit, after all, he still had some bottom lines.Hearing some of the stories, even he wanted to go up and shoot these bastards.

"No, no, no, the problem is not that 21 people were executed, but that two people were sent back to their place of origin for reform through labor... They did not decide people's life or death arbitrarily because of anger, but adhered to principles. This trial was not about process, they I'm serious." Feng Wanyun sighed.

Of the two of them, one became a bandit because he really couldn't survive, and the other went to the mountains to avenge his father and became a bandit.If the government at that time could make decisions for the people like the Eighth Route Army does today, how could they have ended up where they are today.

"Execution!"

With a shout, the soldiers of the district squadron escorted the bandits after the trial to a nearby ravine. Most of the villagers followed the team, and the land at the entrance of the village was considered empty.

"Let's go see Captain Zhang and see what he wants to do."

The two of them walked towards Captain Zhang who stayed where he was.Captain Zhang saw the two of them and came over with a smile.

"You two, what do you think after watching a public trial?" Captain Zhang smiled and wiped the sweat from his face: "I know you two. Although you two are reckless, you have national justice in your heart. I must have You must agree with the outcome of this public trial."

"This is natural. I wonder why Captain Zhang invited us here?" Feng Wanyun asked bluntly.

Captain Zhang put away his smile and showed a serious expression: "I want to recruit your two teams. Of course, not now. I will send an instructor to each of your teams to provide early ideological guidance and organizational building. Only after they are qualified will they be adapted into our team.”

"This..." The two of them hesitated. It was so direct that they almost didn't react.

"Don't worry, you two. After the team is reorganized, you will still be commanded. And we will provide you with necessary weapons and ammunition support." Captain Zhang smiled confidently: "After wiping out Qingfeng Village, I still have more than 20 weapons left here. I can share the gun with you."

Feng Wanyun and Wang Baoyi looked at each other and finally nodded.

The smile on Captain Zhang's face also brightened.

Once the ideology is reformed and the Soldiers Committee is established, even if Feng and Wang repent, they will not be able to take away a few people.Those who will run away are probably the kind who feel that bandits live a free and easy life, and would rather hang their heads on their belts and rob roads than settle down and do something serious.This kind of people are meant to be eliminated.

"Okay, okay, since you two have agreed, let's go into the house to discuss the details."
