Age of Rebirth

According to the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, the Northeast Working Group was formed. Liu Hanzhang, chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, acted very quickly. The number of people stipulated in the order was drawn out, and they rushed to the Liaodong Peninsula area by plane. After getting off the plane, the members of the working group began to rush to various places.

This reflects the good work efficiency and work style of the administrative system of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone. The people responsible for receiving Anton are Song Geping, a middle-level cadre from Dingbian Special City, and Yao Qishan, the head of the Pingjin Police Command. Colonel, originally, after the Sixth Brigade of the Marine Corps handed over the defense of Anton, it would go to the Northeast and the border area of ​​the Korean Peninsula tomorrow, preparing to enter the Korean Peninsula to fight.

This is a relatively large-scale transfer of troops, involving more than half of the Marine Corps in the Liaodong Peninsula. Han Tie and Jiang Xianliang, the commander of the Sixth Brigade, have a lot of things to do at hand. Logistical support and other issues, there is not much time at all, accompanied by the receiving team to check Anton after the war, but Song Geping, the future mayor of Andong City, asked to enter a Japanese residence.

In all fairness, Jiang Xianliang didn't want Captain Song to go into the Japanese house. Firstly, it was not safe. Who knew if there were any stragglers from the Japanese army hiding there. It's all my own responsibility. Secondly, the smell of blood in the room is strong, and several bloody corpses have not been removed. What's there to see?Therefore, Jiang Xian is kind enough to remind you.

Jiang Xianliang was kind, but to Song Geping's ears, it didn't taste good, he was sensitive.Thinking that Jiang Xianliang was mocking himself, he didn't have the guts to see blood, and he couldn't compare with soldiers, so he became stubborn and said, "Brigade Commander Jiang, you can't say that. I'm the mayor of Andong City, and I have the responsibility to understand something. The situation, including the number of Japanese who committed suicide, is the responsibility of the Andong City Government to see if there are any survivors. It involves the stability of Andong in the future, and I cannot ignore it!"

Song Geping's tone was somewhat stiff.Jiang Xianliang was stunned for a moment, and Han Tie spoke. "Captain Song. It's your duty to go in and check. Brigadier Jiang is just reminding you, okay, Jiang Xianliang, arrange a few soldiers to protect Captain Song personally. We'll wait outside!"

Song Geping nodded, and said to Yao Qishan who was on the side: "Commander Yao, you are the Anton garrison commander, and you need to know some details. Let's go to the scene to check it out!" Under the protection of the Japanese, he entered the Japanese house.

When Song Geping and Yao Qishan walked in, Han Tie glared at Jiang Xianliang and said, "I see you said something just now, but it didn't come out, what's the matter?"

Jiang Xianliang replied: "Commander, it's like this. When we were clearing up Japanese stragglers, these little devils hid in Japanese houses. After the soldiers went in, they were attacked by human bombs from the little devils. , Fifteen soldiers were killed and more than [-] wounded, as a last resort, the soldiers opened fire!"

Han Tie glared at Jiang Xianliang, and said in a bad tone: "Jiang Xianliang is promising. When he hit Anton, the casualties were nothing more than that. After entering the city, there were more than 30 casualties. How did I tell you? The teacher's telegram Li, what did you say? Why don’t you have a long memory?”

Jiang Xianliang was very aggrieved and said: "Who knows, I thought it was like in Zhuanghe. The Japanese all committed suicide, so the troops were not prepared. Fortunately, there are not many Japanese expatriates like this. There are only seven people in total. Eight!"

Han Tie stared at Jiang Xianliang for a long time, making his heart shudder, "Jiang Xianliang, let me tell you, if something similar happens next time, your Sixth Brigade will serve as a guard. You, the brigade commander, will be the end of the line. How many people were injured by the ghost soldiers, but dozens of people were injured by these body bombs, the guns in your hands are fire sticks? Why didn't you shoot first?"

Han Tie was training Jiang Xianliang. Song Geping and Yao Qishan came out of the house. Yao Qishan was a soldier, but his expression was natural. It's terrible, it's just horrible! Even a child of a few years old died, it's incomprehensible!"

Seeing Song Geping's appearance, the corners of Jiang Xianliang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help laughing. He didn't mean to be mocking. It was originally a very slight movement, but Song Geping saw it. His handkerchief was also put away.

Next, Song Geping visited a few more, but the results were the same. There were several bloody corpses, and the smell of blood filled the room, which stimulated people's nerves. Seeing that Song Geping entered another Japanese house, Han Tie and Jiang Xianliang had no choice but to accompany him patiently, secretly anxious. The two discussed it. How many things are you carrying with you, how can you spend time on them?

After Song Geping came in, it was no surprise that what he saw were also bloody corpses. However, there were more corpses inside. There were more than [-] corpses, all of them were men, and they were middle-aged and elderly people lying in disorder. In the yard and the house, among them, there were two corpses that were blown to pieces. The scene was much more terrifying and bloody than the ones seen before.

Song Geping walked a few steps. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual. Most of the Japanese who committed suicide in front of them wiped their necks, and a few had laparotomy. But what they see now is different. The corpses are covered with bullet holes. , "Commander Yao, look, are these corpses shot to death?" He beckoned Yao Qishan to come.

Yao Qishan is an expert, he knew what was going on just by looking at it, and he didn't take it to heart, and replied affirmatively: "Captain Song, he was shot to death, and it was shot at close range with intensive firepower. It's a submachine gun!"

"What?" Song Geping's face changed suddenly, and he said loudly: "Everything is suicide? Lie! The Japanese are all dead, and I don't regret it at all, but the mass shooting of unarmed Japanese expatriates, including the elderly, This is a crime! As a soldier, to kill innocent people so indiscriminately, is there any military discipline?"

Yao Qishan didn't take it seriously, and explained: "Captain Song, don't generalize. Maybe the troops were attacked suddenly when they were searching the yard and were forced to shoot back. Otherwise, how could there be two corpses that were blown to pieces? It was caused by explosives on his body, which were detonated! Captain Song, I advise you, don’t easily put a big hat on others, life and death on the battlefield is not a soft-hearted thing!"

Song Geping was completely irritated by Yao Qishan's words, his face was ashen, he gave Yao Qishan a hard look, and said sharply: "Commander Yao, please open your eyes and see, is this a battlefield? I only saw an ordinary family In the residence of Japanese expatriates, there are more than [-] corpses, both old and young, who were shot to death indiscriminately!"

Yao Qishan didn't argue with Song Geping, but just gave him a cold look, because Yao Qishan knew that it was undoubtedly difficult to explain what war was to civilian officials who had never been on a battlefield where bombardments littered the sky and corpses were strewn all over the place. From my own point of view, the corpses in the yard were definitely not intentionally massacred. The most likely possibility is that the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade were attacked when they were searching for Japanese stragglers, and then they were forced to shoot.

Although I don't have many opportunities to fight on the front line, I have also experienced several battles with the Japanese army, but I understand the crazy energy of the Japanese. However, I have said this, Captain Song, who has a sense of justice, can believe ?Yao Qishan shook his head helplessly, seeing Song Geping go out angrily, he followed suit.

Song Geping was indeed very angry, almost uncontrollable, he could not tolerate such massacres, the soldiers of the Independent Division were not murderers.Not an executioner!After leaving the yard, he walked quickly to Han Tie and Jiang Xianliang, and said in a cold and blunt tone: "Commander Han, in this yard, there are more than [-] dead bodies, both young and old. I was shot to death, I hope your subordinates will give me a reasonable explanation!"

"As the mayor of Andong City, I questioned your troops. Did all the Japanese in Andong commit suicide? Then, how to explain what happened in this yard? I think , does not rule out the possibility that your troops might coerce Japanese expatriates to commit suicide, therefore, I doubt the truthfulness of Brigadier Jiang's words just now!"

"The troops of our independent division have no tradition of massacring Japanese nationals. However, today in Anton, I saw the massacre of the soldiers under the connivance of the commander of the army. Now that they have put down their weapons, they are ordinary people. Unarmed Japanese expatriates, soldiers of the Independent Division, are not butchers or executioners! I will report the massacres of your marines directly to the Northeast Work Group!"

"Until the complaint to the Dingbian Military and Political Committee, the soldiers who massacred unarmed Japanese civilians must be severely punished, and the officers who gave the order must be severely punished. Criminal behavior is intolerable! Your soldiers are not worthy of being soldiers of an independent division!"

Song Geping's face turned red with excitement, and his voice was passionate and shrill. In his opinion, soldiers of the Marine Corps were inferior to little devils and bandits. In all fairness, as far as Song Geping himself was concerned, he didn't have any good feelings for the Japanese. , is also disgusting, but in his thinking, even Japanese soldiers who put down their weapons are prisoners of war and should be treated like prisoners of war, let alone unarmed Japanese civilians!
