Chapter 58 Caesar's Destiny to Caesar

They looked at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing also looked at them.

At this moment, the strings in his heart were also tense.

Although these people's hands and feet are all bound, they don't have weapons in their hands, and their condition is not very good. All of them are unkempt in the battlefield, and their military uniforms are bombed out. They look quite embarrassed.

But one hundred and twenty or thirty Americans who were enemies just now were all looking at him alone, Xu Qing still had an illusion in his heart that he was alone facing thousands of troops.

And these Americans didn't know the tension in his heart, they just looked at him alone, walking towards them like a lonely hero, all of them were stunned.

"God, he's really only one person..."

"We were beaten alive by the Orientals alone?"

"What kind of enemy are we facing!"

As Xu Qing approached, they no longer dared to discuss it.

But the dull expressions and wide-eyed eyes all revealed the shock and disbelief in their hearts.

Americans don't know what their enemies are like, just as we don't know what Americans are like.In their view, Chinese and North Koreans look the same, and they can only be seen from their clothes.

But Xu Qing in front of him was wearing the same American military uniform and the same white cape as them, and his gun was also the standard rifle of the US military.

They never imagined that soldiers and fighters from any country in the world could walk under their noses without being noticed, and survived the bombardment covering the sky unscathed.

This is nothing short of a miracle!
"Mr. Phantom, we really surrender sincerely and have no intention of resisting." It was the priest Quinlan who was the first to react, and he bowed.

Seeing that Xu Qing was still holding a gun and holding a few grenades, he couldn't see his face under the mask, so he was a little nervous:
"... Are you really alone?"

Xu Qing's eyes were still on these American soldiers squatting on the ground, and he didn't find any problems, so he spoke slowly:
"You have no right to know how many people are on our side. You just need to know the gun in my hand——still staring at your heads!"

"Yes, sir..." Father Quinlan didn't dare to say more, "Then what do you plan to do with us?"

Xu Qing didn't answer immediately, but glanced at him:
"You are a priest, Father?"

The American army is very strange. In an organizational system full of combatants, each company and battalion actually has a different number of clergymen accompanying the army.

He just glanced around, and among these prisoners of war, he saw several in the same dress, and even two nuns.

These priests and priests of the US military claim to be servants of the church representing God, caring for the living, comforting the wounded, and honoring the dead.

In fact, it is to do some ideological comfort work-many American soldiers are relatively weak in spirit and will, and are not as fearless as the communist fighters of this era.

But Xu Qing didn't underestimate them either, a job with such a reasonable existence in the US military must not be so simple.

Just like the situation in the American crowd without a leader just now, with all lieutenants and officers dead, a very popular priest can still play a role in soothing people's hearts and temporarily organizing management.

They are not only priests, but also officers.These personnel also have to participate in various military training and have the same senior combat experience.

After all, you have to go to the front line of the battlefield all the time, just know that "Amen" is dying, and help build the Star-Spangled Banner, that's not enough.

Wearing military uniforms, these military priests looked no different from ordinary American soldiers. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak up, plus some religious symbols and characteristics on his body, he would not have recognized them.

"Yes, Mr. Ghost."

Father Quinlan replied.

Xu Qing nodded and pulled the bolt:
"These people will be temporarily handed over to you to manage. As prisoners, if they have any abnormalities or bad ideas, once I find out, you will be the first to be shot!"

Father Quinlan's face turned pale, but he still insisted on nodding his head: "Okay... I will follow your instructions, Mr. Phantom."

"Under my watch, you search them again, and then bring everyone into the cave behind!"

Father Quinlan understood immediately.

Under Xu Qing's gunpoint gaze, he checked the more than 100 people up and down again, and there was another pile of lighters, knives, pens and other items on the ground.

Looking at the prisoners of war whose faces became paler and paler, no matter whether these people had some small thoughts in their hearts, or they forgot to hand them over.

He did not pursue further.The goal of deterring the enemy has been achieved.

soon.

The second search is over.

Xu Qing was holding a gun and a grenade, watching them from behind, while Father Kunlan was at the front, leading the crowd into the cave behind the valley.

This cave was originally used by these Americans to park and hide some weapons and equipment. Because of the heavy rain and snow, many ammunition and firearms need to be maintained in a relatively dry place.

The cave is not big but deep enough. Rows of crude wooden frames were built inside, and the lights were transparent. Xu Qing had already checked it out from the outside, and there was no one else inside.

"Go inside."

Xu Qing directed them to stay away from the many ammunition and shells piled up on the side of the cave with a gun, and they all walked to the right against the wall.

Inside the cave is an isolated closed and simple space surrounded by a wooden fence. It was originally used to store a large number of ammunition boxes. It is surrounded by felled trees and covered with thick woolen blankets. Protect from moisture.

But in Xu Qing's view, after a little renovation, it is a natural place to guard prisoners of war.

Some American soldiers were quite hesitant, with a little panic in their eyes, as if they were unwilling to go in.

One of them said in the line, "Mr. Ghost, can I apply for another place, I'm claustrophobic..."

"Yeah! It's too dirty here, we are prisoners of war, not the damn slaves."

Xu Qing didn't make a sound, and directly raised the muzzle of the gun.

The soldiers immediately became honest.

They are all used to it.

He counted a total of 120 people, 67 American soldiers, and 59 Syngman Rhee puppet troops.Among them, 39 people were injured, six were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured.

Among so many people, there was only one lieutenant left—the unlucky Captain Fields who was still lying down, and he was also one of the highest commanders here.

After all these Americans went in, Xu Qing personally locked the outside of the wooden fence with iron chains, feeling relieved.

Escorting and guarding hundreds of enemy soldiers by one person, it would be a lie to say that they are not nervous.

Fortunately, the stabbing head had been killed, and the remaining soldiers had no intention of resisting. They just wanted to be treated as prisoners of war, released as soon as possible, and returned home alive.

"Mr. Phantom, you have already imprisoned us here, so there is no need to tie our hands. What about food?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Father Quinlan shouted quickly.

Xu Qing thought for a while, then turned around and said, "This is only your temporary detention place, and I will transfer you to our army's prisoner-of-war camp immediately. As for the food, I will give you all."

He looked around and removed all weapons, firearms and ammunition that were relatively close.

Then he went out of the hole and began to search for supplies. He quickly found a lot of supplies in the tents that were not blown up, such as canned pork and beef, condensed milk, sugar, rice, and fresh fruits. The richness made him jealous. .

Then he quickly found a large number of equipment. There are many kinds of infantry combat weapons alone, such as rifles, machine guns, sniper rifles, submachine guns, grenade launchers, and boxes of pineapple grenades, anti-tank grenades, Tank mines, rockets... After a small and medium-sized fire coverage just now, there are still so many stocks in stock, the US military is simply a drop of fuel.

It is unbelievable from the perspective of Chinese soldiers that such a defeated army has such a reserve of materials for a fleeing team of less than two or 300 people.

He added some weapons and equipment, but it was impossible to take them all away.After looking at it again, I took away a box of anti-tank mines, then took another box of bread and half a bucket of water, and went back to the cave.

As soon as they entered, the American soldiers who were sitting or lying behind the wooden fence stood up one after another.

"This is your food."

Xu Qing ignored them, opened the fence directly, stuffed bread and water in, and dropped a few cans.

At this time.

He saw the comatose Captain Fields wake up, he was seriously injured, his right arm was completely shattered with Xu Qing's shot, and he simply wrapped it with gauze to stop the bleeding.

Looking at the current situation, he already understood the current situation:

"Chinese, you just give this to my soldiers? The food we left behind is far more than this!"

Xu Qing said casually: "Now they are not your soldiers, but my prisoners of war. I decide how to eat them."

As soon as Xu Qing opened his mouth, Captain Fields suddenly remembered something, and tried to sit up on the stretcher with half of his body:

"...It's you, I recognize this voice!"

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "That's right, we just met this morning."

"It's you! You bastard, I killed my soldiers..."

Fields' face was pale, and he quickly understood that it was he himself who told the enemy in front of him the information, causing almost all of his core team and senior officers to be killed.

Seeing his distraught appearance, Xu Qing ignored him.

Under the fearful eyes of everyone, he picked up anti-tank mines one by one and set up a trap near the cave. He didn't shy away from watching them, and even buried them right under their noses.

"What are you going to do, Mister Phantom, we won't run away anymore..." Father Quinlan asked anxiously.

"in case."

Xu Qing planted many mines near the wooden fence at the entrance of the cave.

Some let them see, some don't, false and true.

Each of these landmines looks like a disc and is the size of a fist. They are all pressure mines distributed by the US military in large quantities, and they explode when stepped on.

It’s not like the loose thunder in the movie, you’ll be fine if you don’t step on it. In fact, the most commonly used anti-personnel landmines in modern warfare have always been suppressed mines, and their lethality is astonishing.

After laying more than a dozen landmines, Xu Qing made marks that only the volunteers could understand, and then carefully avoided them. This equivalent was enough to kill all these people.

And the American captives watching from behind the fence also looked horrified.

This Chinese is too ruthless!

Almost no one had the slightest thought of running away, Xu Qing glanced over, and they all sat down in a row obediently, with extremely cute expressions, and forced a smile on their faces.

"Very well, stay here, I will bring you food on time!"

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Then continue to search for supplies, pick up useful documents, books, items, food, etc., and put them all together in a tent. All of a regiment and several companies.

During this day, he went back to the cave several times to make surprise raids and checks. At the beginning, some people were dishonest, because they were fed up with the small environment, and they were cheated a few times.

Walk till night.

Suddenly, Xu Qing, who was resting outside the cave, suddenly heard the exclamations of these people inside.

He went in quietly, only to find that Captain Fields, who was lying on the stretcher, had no movement, no breathing between his nose and tongue...

he died.

Died of his injuries and loss of blood.

Many U.S. soldiers actually didn't like this violent officer, but the atmosphere was still quite gloomy despite the death of the rabbit and the fox.

"Today we lost a son of Robtown who grew up in Lahan State, he was a good man, a good son to the Kendalls, a good husband in the family, a good father to little Felson, a good officer in the army, He led everyone to find a way out from the death trap, and finally fell in the Far East. We don’t remember any grudges, because the war is the Lord’s punishment, but we will still remember his achievements..."

In the middle of the night, many American soldiers were sitting around the dead body. Father Quinlan prayed softly and made a cross:

"...Rest in peace in heaven, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

Xu Qing ignored them, determined that Fields was indeed dead, and stood up:

"Caesar can't control you, and neither can God. I said so."

Father Kunlan grabbed onto the railing and said anxiously, "Are you leaving us alone?"

"No, I'll find a suitable POW camp for you."

He grabbed his gun and turned to leave the cave.
