Chapter 59: Buried Alive
Li Yunlong found that he was almost traumatized by the ringing of the phone.
After a long while, Li Yunlong finally calmed down and answered the phone: "Hello, this is the Independent Regiment."
The boss's voice came from the other end of the line: "Li Yunlong, I heard that you captured two Japanese prisoners?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "I was thinking about holding a trial meeting or something, first a public trial and then shooting."
“You can’t shoot.”
The boss said anxiously: "The enemy engineering department has a way to persuade them to rebel."
Li Yunlong said: "Is that so? Then I'll send someone to deliver it."
"You don't have to send me there," the boss said. "I'll send someone to pick me up tomorrow morning. I'm calling you to tell you not to resist and not to mess around."
"Incite these Japanese prisoners of war to defect and then let them join the anti-war alliance,"
"It will be more beneficial to the Chinese people's war of resistance, and it will be a better blow to the Japanese invaders than killing them."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Yunlong said, "I understand. Don't worry, Boss. I have no resistance and I will not do anything reckless."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Gang just came in from the door. Li Yunlong said, "Old Zhao, the boss just called and said that he will send someone to pick up the two Japanese prisoners of war tomorrow. Please make arrangements."
"Got it." Zhao Gang nodded, sniffed twice, and frowned, "Old Li, were you secretly drinking again just now? Sweet potato stew?"
"No, I didn't drink."
Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle: "Absolutely not."
Li Yunlong's personality is such that if he doesn't admit it, then it doesn't exist.
"You," Zhao Gang said helplessly, "You really need to change this habit. Alcohol is really not a good thing. How many people throughout history have missed important events because of drinking?"
"Oh, don't worry, my great political commissar."
Li Yunlong became a little impatient: "I know what's going on."
Zhao Gang knew it was useless to say anything more, so he shook his head and turned to walk out.
After being treated like this by Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang even forgot why he came to see Li Yunlong?
When they reached the door, Zhao suddenly came to his senses and said, "I almost forgot something. Old Li, the New Year is coming soon. Should we give some New Year gifts to the folks in Yang Village?"
"We should," Li Yunlong said, "We won a great victory this time and seized so many military supplies, especially so much horse meat. We should really take out some of it and distribute it to the folks in Yang Village. No matter what, the folks in Yang Village have helped us a lot. They donated more than a thousand pairs of cloth shoes to our independent regiment, right?"
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I think so too."
…
At dawn, the Wolf Warriors returned to Yang Village.
The Wolf Warriors would not have returned so soon because the round trip was 70 kilometers, and no matter how strong their physical fitness was, they could not withstand running back and forth all day.
But now it’s different with war horses.
Warhorses greatly improve the mobility of the War Wolf Squad.
In addition, there was another situation that forced the Wolf Warriors to return to Xinyang to report the news as soon as possible.
At least one regiment of Japanese cavalry was carrying out a brutal cleansing of the villages outside the base!
According to conservative estimates, more than twenty villages have been massacred by the Japanese, and thousands of civilians have been killed. The massacre may continue today!
Therefore, it must be reported to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible.
The devil's brutal behavior must be stopped.
The safety of the people in the base area must be guaranteed!
If a soldier can’t guarantee the safety of ordinary people, what’s the point of being a soldier?
Because of this, Wang Ye led the Wolf Warrior Squad back overnight to report the news to the regiment headquarters.
However, just as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw someone escorting two Japanese prisoners towards them.
When they got closer, Wang Ye recognized them at a glance. These were the two Japanese soldiers they captured in Laohu Bay. One of them had a bayonet wound on his face, making him easy to recognize.
When they saw these two devils, the eyes of more than a dozen War Wolves changed.
Wei Dayong, in particular, had an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
Yesterday they had just witnessed the tragic scenes of hundreds of villagers being killed in several villages. The hatred towards the Japanese devils in their hearts had reached its peak. At this time, they really wanted to kill all the devils they could see!
So, a dozen War Wolves really looked like wolves, staring at the two Japanese prisoners of war viciously.
Although the two devils were captured and had their hands tied behind their backs, they were still wild and unruly.
The cold gazes of a dozen War Wolves not only failed to scare the two Japanese prisoners, but instead aroused their ferocity even more.
"idiot!"
A Japanese prisoner of war immediately cursed.
"What are you looking at, you lowly , cowardly China pigs?"
Another Japanese prisoner also cursed: "You are a bunch of cowards who don't even dare to kill people!"
Wang Xikui stared at him with scarlet eyes and said in a deep voice: "What are these two bastards yelling about?"
Wang Ye's face was dark, and he said in a deep voice: "These two bastards said we were cowards and didn't dare to kill them."
"Damn it, I'll do his thing now." After saying that, Wei Dayong jumped off his horse and pulled out his bayonet again.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Gensheng, Liu Dongtang and a dozen other war wolves also dismounted and drew their bayonets.
Seeing Wei Dayong and his men coming towards them with bayonets held backwards and murderous intent, the two young Eighth Route Army soldiers escorting the Japanese prisoners of war immediately became nervous, but they did not dare to point their guns at their own people.
The leading cadre from the Enemy Work Department also quickly opened his arms and stepped forward.
"What? What are you doing?" The cadre stopped Wei Dayong and the others and said anxiously, "I tell you, this is an order from the general himself. Take these two devils back to the headquarters."
"Although they are both still prisoners of war,"
"But it won't be long before they become our comrades-in-arms..."
"Bullshit!" Wei Dayong shouted, "Can the Japs be our comrades?"
As he spoke, Wei Dayong rushed forward with his bayonet in hand and used his body to push the cadre away.
Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng and a dozen others also scattered and slowly approached in a fan shape.
When the two Japanese prisoners saw that the dozen or so War Wolves were serious about their attack, they did not dare to continue shouting.
After all, when these two Japanese soldiers were first captured, they might have really wanted to die, but as time went on, the fear of death took over and few people wanted to die, including the Japanese soldiers.
The cadre turned around and stood in front of the two devils again.
"I warn you that killing prisoners of war violates international conventions!"
"And this is an order from the boss, do you want to disobey?"
"If you really kill these two devils, it would be blatant disobedience!"
"Do you know the consequences of disobeying orders? If it causes serious consequences, you will be shot!"
However, the cadre's words were in vain, because the dozen or so War Wolves simply didn't listen.
Wang Ye sighed and was about to step forward to stop it when a ding sound suddenly rang in his ears.
"Fuck!" Wang Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart. The dog system appeared again.
The dog system had not appeared for a long time before, so Wang Ye thought it had disappeared, but he didn't expect it to come again at this juncture.
"Ding!"
"System task released."
"Bury the Japanese prisoners alive!"
"If you fail to complete the mission, 50 years of your life will be deducted!"
Wow, this time there are even punishment measures.
Deduct 50 years of life span? Can it be more cruel?
Wang Ye yelled, "Damn it! Stop it!"
The cadres of the Enemy Work Department talked a lot, but it was of no use.
But with just a few words from Wang Ye, Wei Dayong and the others stopped immediately.
They did stop, but the dozen or so War Wolves felt very angry.
Wei Dayong turned around and glared at Wang Ye, saying angrily, "Captain, are you going to stop us too?"
Wang Ye said coldly: "I'm not trying to stop you from killing people. I just want to tell you that it would be too easy for them to just kill these two devils with one knife."
Wei Dayong and the others immediately turned their anger into joy.
"Captain, what do you think we should do?"
The cadres of the enemy work department just breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard Wang Ye's words, they became nervous again: "Hey, you, since you are their captain, you are a cadre. As an Eighth Route Army cadre, you can't fool around with your team members. You have to be political and principled. Don't mess around."
Wang Ye turned a deaf ear to this.
He then said to Wei Dayong and the others, "Take the rope and drag these two devils to a deserted place and bury them alive!"
"Yes!" Wei Dayong and a dozen other War Wolves' eyes lit up at once. They responded loudly, then turned around, took out the hemp rope from the backpack behind the saddle, and went forward to tie up the two Japanese prisoners of war.
