The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 107 The most dangerous place is the safest place

He Wei used the life of a Japanese prisoner to teach a young boy how to kill.

In the Japanese army, this is the most common thing. Many of the Japanese army's supplementary soldiers, or the squad leaders newly graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the first thing they do after arriving at the army is to be led by old non-commissioned officers and old officers. To carry out killing training so that they can enter combat status as soon as possible. The objects used for training are naturally captured Chinese soldiers or captured Chinese civilians. He Wei read various materials before traveling through and learned about this kind of behavior of the Japanese army. He also knows a lot about his behavior. He asked Tao Heiwa to do what he did today, which was indeed inspired by the Japanese army.

Perhaps it was because the moral and discipline level of the Chinese army was relatively high. After He Wei finished this task, he ordered a rest and reorganization. On the way back to the command post, when passing through various traffic trenches, whether it was the second or third row of soldiers, they looked at their own The eyes were full of shock and fear.

Speaking of killing, too many of these soldiers had lives on their hands. Moreover, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the compulsory military service system had not yet been implemented. Soldiers were all recruited by each unit. Since the expansion of the Beiyang Army in the late Qing Dynasty, the source of Chinese army soldiers has been considerable. It's complicated. Some soldiers of the Sixth Company even worked as bandits before becoming soldiers. These people usually work as bandits. Once the career path of bandits does not develop smoothly, they will go down the mountain to find another way. At this time, becoming soldiers It became the best choice.

If you can't continue to be a bandit, then go down the mountain to become a soldier. When you see an army unit raising flags to recruit soldiers, you go in and get military pay. When you have enough military pay and don't want to be a soldier anymore, you will find an opportunity to desert, drag your gun and continue to go up the mountain to become a bandit. Along the way, I don’t know how many lives were on my hands.

Of course, in order to improve the quality of the army in the two years before the war, the Nationalist Government greatly improved the social status and salary of soldiers. Similar situations have become much rarer, and the quality of soldiers has also risen sharply. The legacy of the concept of soldiers and bandits being one family is still there, and there are still soldiers who are sometimes soldiers and sometimes bandits in the army.

But even the soldiers who had experienced such an experience looked at He Wei as if a chicken had seen an eagle. Killing people was not a difficult task. He Wei did not kill anyone, but he only used words to drive a child crazy. Killing a Japanese prisoner with a bayonet is much more terrifying than killing someone with your own hands.

Ignoring those weird looks, He Wei arranged for the quartermaster sergeant to get some food for Tao Heiwa after returning to the command post. This kid stopped crying now, but he had no energy at all, like an eggplant beaten by frost. Similarly, after asking someone to take Tao Heiwa down to rest, He Wei sat down on the chair and let out a long breath.

"Damn it, I have to do this in order to train this kid well. I can't bear it. I can't help it. But those bird soldiers in your platoon probably have more lives on their hands than you and I combined. Why? The way you look at me is like looking at the God of Plague."

He Wei said to Fang Jing.

Fang Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Don't talk about them. Just now you have been forcing that little kid to shoot and kill. I feel a little uncomfortable watching it. How should I put it? It's a bit like forcing a good girl into prostitution. That ferocious look is indeed a bit scary. ."

Immediately, Fang Jing seemed to remember something, and said in a deep voice: "But I can understand you. The messenger is related to the life and death of a platoon and a company. I used to have a messenger who was similar to yours. All messengers are like this. That's really going to kill people, and to tell you the truth, our company commander was almost killed by the orderly soldiers back then, but he was killed twice."

Seeing Fang Jing's angry expression, He Wei became interested and said to Fang Jing, "Oh? I'm interested. Brother Fang, why don't you tell me?"

Fang Jing nodded and said, "You know about the Fujian Revolution, right? You should still be studying in the military academy at that time."

The Fujian Incident mentioned by Fang Jing refers to the Fujian Incident. On November 933, 11, Li Jishen, Chen Mingshu, Jiang Guangnai, Cai Tingkai and others, with the No. 20 Route Army as the main force, launched the Anti-Japanese Abnormal Kaishen Incident in Fuzhou, Fujian. And after the incident, the abnormal Keshen regime was established.

Unfortunately, this regime did not last long. The central government of the Nationalist Government responded quickly and dispatched a large number of troops to suppress it. In the end, this incident ended with the destruction of the abnormal Kaishen regime and the surrender of the [-]th Route Army.

"After the incident in Fujian that year, our division immediately attacked Fujian under the command of the Chief of Guard. Our company commander told me about this matter more than once. At that time, not long after he graduated from the eighth grade of Huangpu, he was assigned to our division as a second lieutenant platoon leader. When attacking Minqing, Captain Fu's platoon was a forward platoon. As they were searching and advancing, they were suddenly attacked by the Nineteenth Army. The losses were considerable. During the melee, Captain Fu was at the front and wanted to cross a bridge, but the Nineteenth Army was behind him. There was someone hiding under the bridge, and when I rushed over, a bayonet was thrust out from under the bridge. Fortunately, Captain Fu reacted in time and killed the enemy with a shell gun, otherwise he would have been told where he was on the spot."

"The orderly soldier in his platoon at that time was not much older than that little brat of yours. When he saw the bayonet, he was so frightened that he ran away. This was the first time."

"What about the second time?"

"You should know that those guys from the [-]th Route Army are very good at fighting. After the messengers ran away, Captain Fu really couldn't spare any manpower to ask for help, so he could only lead the remaining people to wait for help. But this defense was almost ten Hours later, a full ten hours later, we arrived at the messenger sent by the company. The messenger also held a warrant for a quick retreat. Company Commander Fu was almost furious at that time. After asking, he realized that it turned out that the company had already An orderly soldier was sent, but when he saw that so many people in Captain Fu's platoon had been killed, he didn't dare to come up, so he hid in a puddle until the gunshots stopped. Only then did he find Company Commander Fu to convey the order. But at this time , there is only one squad left in Captain Fu’s platoon.”

He Wei nodded. Fu Chen's case was indeed evidence of the importance of the messenger. Then he thought of the injured Fu Chen. He didn't know what the old company commander's current condition was?Are you out of danger?Where is the King of Hell who injured Fu Chen hiding now?
Fang Jing added: "But speaking of which, the captured Japanese soldier was also quite quick-witted. He just lay there in the open ground without any hesitation. The people in my platoon were busy there and didn't even notice. This guy, everyone thought he was a corpse, it’s really dark under the light, I have to pay more attention to this kind of thing in the future, otherwise I might suffer a big loss.”

Suddenly, Fang Jing noticed a huge change in He Wei's face in front of him and stood up suddenly.

"Brother Fang, what did you just say?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Brother Fang, repeat what you just said!" He Wei said eagerly.

"What did I just say? Oh, what I said is that if you don't pay attention, you might suffer a big loss in the future. You must be more careful. If that guy doesn't run after getting up, he can just throw a fucking grenade over here. , then I might have met Lord Yama."

Fang Jing said with a wry smile.

After saying this, He Wei became even more anxious and stamped his feet.

"No, no, what was the last sentence you said? Another sentence."

Fang Jing hesitated for a while and said: "I said it's dark under the lamp. The prisoner is not hiding in the crater, but lying on the open ground. This also requires some quick thinking. Sometimes people look around but don't care about themselves. It’s easy for someone to take advantage of you.”

He Wei immediately clapped his hands and shouted in the command post: "That's right, that's right, it's dark under the light. I understand everything. The most dangerous place is the safest place." Seeing He Wei's abnormal reaction, Fang Jing asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the darkness under the lamp?"

He Wei stared at Fang Jing and only gave him a three-word answer: "Huang Hell King."

Fang Jing was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood. He looked at He Wei in surprise: "You mean? That bitch didn't run far?" He Wei nodded and said, "I understand everything now. What do you think?" Think about it, they ran a total of three people, and the transportation was two horses. There are wars everywhere now. If you want to run away early, you have to rely on horses. According to the report above, the two sergeants and two more horses have been captured. Horse, this means that Huang Yan Wang did not ride a horse. Based on this, I am sure that he cannot run very far. Moreover, this guy has always been smart and domineering. He cannot give up the horse to his subordinates in good faith. He must have his own purpose in doing so. .”

"I infer that this guy deliberately let the two sergeants escape on horseback. He found a place nearby to hide, and waited until the troops retreated to take advantage of the chaos to escape. And as you said, it's dark under the light, so they must be arresting people from above. It also defaults to the assumption that these guys are traveling very far on horseback, so they will naturally ignore the nearby areas and focus their main attention on places farther behind.”

Fang Jing nodded and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense, what do you mean?"

"Assemble your platoon and the second platoon immediately and search the surrounding area. He will not be far away. I have a hunch that he may be near the position."

Unintentionally, being awakened by Fang Jing's words, He Wei made a prompt decision and organized two infantry platoons to search nearby. In fact, He Wei had been thinking about King Huang Yan and was puzzled by his whereabouts. Now I finally realized that the company commander Fu Chen was indeed a good person. He was very kind to He Wei and the soldiers in the company. Therefore, when the order to search for the murderer who injured the company commander was conveyed to the second and third platoons, The soldiers were all excited and immediately started searching.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Mr. Gu Long will not deceive me.

He Wei's guess was correct. After searching for less than an hour, the two platoons captured Huang Yan Wang.

The place where this guy was hiding was also shocking. It was closer than He Wei thought. It was actually in a hole in the ground less than one kilometer behind the mortar array.

According to the reports of the soldiers who captured the man, the hole he was hiding in was not just a hole in the ground, but more like a field cave that had been built in advance to hide soldiers. The area inside the cave was very large, and a large amount of dry food and drinking water were found in the cave. , there is even a simple camp bed and military blanket.

Huang Yanwang's life is not like that of a deserter who has not eaten yet. At least he is much better than the soldiers of the Sixth Company who are guarding the first line of defense. In addition to the large amount of daily necessities stored in this soldier cave, , and even made some basic reinforcement and covering facilities with wood in accordance with the standards of field positions.

Compared with his carefully prepared hiding place, the process of Huang Yanwang being captured was a bit funny. Maybe he thought that it was already midnight and no one would come to search for deserters near the front line positions, but this guy actually came out leisurely. He even dug a simple latrine to ventilate, and when he was defecating, he happened to bump into the soldiers in the second row. When he was finally caught, he even lost his pants.

In the command post, He Wei finally saw the Huang Yan Wang who had been thinking about it day and night. At this time, Huang Yan Wang was no longer as domineering and domineering as before. He was tied up with five flowers and sat on a chair with his head hanging down, very decadent.

"Oh, isn't this the famous Platoon Leader Huang?"

As soon as He Wei entered, he sneered and spoke sarcastically. He really didn't like the fugitive officer who severely injured Fu Chen at all.

"Little bastard, you are smart. I didn't let the people in the regiment and division capture me, but I fell into your hands."

Huang Yanwang raised his head and glanced at He Wei fiercely.

"Tell me, when will you hand me over to the top, or will you just kill me on the spot?"

Knowing that there was no way to survive, Huang Decai asked about his upcoming ending.

He Wei did not answer him immediately, but first untied him.

"You really have only one way to die. Don't talk about military law. Even I want to kill you. You said you would just be a deserter, but you actually killed my company commander. You are not bad at it. Captain Fu's life or death is uncertain now. Send him Taiyuan rescue, his orderly soldiers have been beaten to death by you, but I am curious. In terms of age, you are more than ten years older than me. When I went to deliver the reward to you that day, I saw you beating the soldiers. , stepped forward to stop him, and said a few harsh words, but the army is different from the local area, and being scolded is nothing. You, Huang Yan Wang, can be considered a luxurious person. You can't just run away because you think I've lost face, right?"

"Besides, I see that your hiding place cannot be ready in a few hours."

Having seen through his thoughts, Huang Yanwang no longer concealed his true thoughts. He smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. Ever since I opened the Dao Xinkou, I felt that this battle was unwinnable. Even if I won, I He may not be alive. The Japanese are being attacked now. The Japanese have planes and cannons. What do we have? I wanted to run away for a long time. You broke my face that day. In fact, I didn’t care at all. You’re right. In the army, people are beaten to death by officers and senior officers, and being beaten is a common occurrence. Being scolded is nothing. I have been licking my blood for so many years and have accumulated so much wealth. I can't just die like this."

"I had a bad temper that day and wanted to teach those soldiers a lesson, but you happened to bump into me. When I saw that you had sent me a reward, I thought this was a perfect opportunity to finally make some money for the army. "

"You also know what happened later. I found two people to run with me. I originally planned to let them ride away on horseback to attract the attention of our captors, so that I could hide in the hole prepared in advance. My God, I dug the hiding place secretly every night after I arrived at the position. When the storm is over, the fighting ahead will probably not care about me. Then I will find an opportunity to leave in the chaos."

"It's a pity, it's a pity that it fell into your hands."

He Wei listened quietly to Huang Yan Wang's explanation of the causes and consequences of the escape. When Huang Yan Wang finished speaking, He Wei did not have any extreme reaction. He just glanced in the direction of the Japanese attack in front of the position and said lightly: "Have you thought about it?" I thought about changing my way of death."
