Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

But Lin Heyi couldn't think of complaining anymore. He suddenly found that the journey back to the headquarters after being tied up on a horse was not very comfortable, but it was the most comfortable time in the past few days.

When people have hope, they can't help but want to work hard to change the worst result.

The same is true for Lin Heyi, he always has the hope of surviving, so he has been working hard, whether he betrayed, agreed to the conditions of the little devil, or even wanted to escape halfway, all in order to survive.

Just because he wanted to live, he did many things against his will.

But the moment he was tied to the horse's back, he was freed.

Because he knew he had no hope of living.

Without hope, it is much easier to look at the problem.

Just wait for death. Although the process is a bit disturbing, there is no need to endure those mental tortures anymore.

Lin Heyi was really relieved. In the interrogation room of the headquarters, facing the questioning of the deputy commander in chief, without any torture or coercion, he told all the ins and outs of the whole incident in one go.

What I have experienced, what I have encountered, and how my mentality has changed, everything is detailed and clearly stated.

The boss listened quietly all the time, he didn't feel that Lin Heyi was long-winded, and he didn't interrupt him until he finished speaking.

"From a rational point of view, you did nothing wrong. The enemy used unbearable torture on you. Out of your survival instinct, it is understandable that you chose to betray."

The deputy commander-in-chief pondered for a while before speaking.

Lin Heyi suddenly raised his head and looked at the deputy commander in disbelief.

Is this to forgive yourself?

"But from the perspective of human nature, you are despicable. In order to save yourself from being tortured, you choose to betray others. This is not tolerated by etiquette."

The deputy commander looked into Lin Heyi's eyes and continued.

Lin Heyi's surprised expression gradually turned into shame, and he slowly lowered his head.

Yes, I am indeed a despicable person.

In the face of the little devil's torture, wailing, screaming, crying, and even begging for mercy are nothing, this is the instinct of survival.

But in order to survive, but choose to betray others, this is tantamount to using other people's life to alleviate one's own pain, which cannot be tolerated.

"You are also a veteran soldier who has been in the army for many years. The nature of your job means that you don't have any military skills. It's not your fault, but you don't have the loyalty of a soldier. This is your own problem, because you, Yushe, Qin County The comrades sacrificed, and the hard work of the organization was also destroyed. Because of you, three-quarters of the comrades in the guard company and one-sixth of the comrades in the cavalry company died. They are all for the country, for the people, and for the War of Resistance. Do you think you deserve to be forgiven if you don’t wear this military uniform, but in the end you fell because of the betrayal of your own people?”

The deputy commander-in-chief suddenly raised his voice, and it was difficult to restrain his anger.

If it was only Lin Heyi's betrayal, he would not be so angry.

But because of Lin Heyi's betrayal, those soldiers who were supposed to serve the country with blood on the battlefield died by the enemy's sword, and he felt worthless for them.

Everyone knows that it is impossible to fight without death, but no one wants to see these unnecessary sacrifices.

If Lin Heyi hadn't held those selfish intentions and self-righteously formulated the so-called promotion plan.

If after he was caught, he could be more tenacious and firm in his beliefs, these soldiers would not have died.

"I deserve to die."

Lin Heyi lowered his head and said softly.

When he chose to betray, he knew that someone would die, but he felt that since it was a war, he would die sooner or later. He just let them die sooner in exchange for his own death later.

But when he was on the battlefield and witnessed the tragic sacrifice of those soldiers, he knew that his sins might not be washed away in ten lifetimes.

If it wasn't for my greed for life and fear of death, how could so many people die?

He was not familiar with the cavalry company, but he knew almost every soldier in the guard company.

Faces flashed before his eyes, like chips stacked on his heart, making him feel more and more guilty.

Death is more than guilt, death is not enough, ungrateful. ． ．

Even if the organization is willing to give me a chance to live, I have no face to continue living.

All these years of being a soldier are in vain.

"Sir, I have a request."

After being silent for a while, Lin Heyi seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly raised his head and said.

The deputy commander didn't speak, but just nodded.

"I know that I am to blame for my death. I hope that after the execution, the organization will hang my body on the execution ground for three days, so as to warn others."

Lin Heyi said firmly.

If you can't atone for your sins by living, then you can continue to atone for your sins by dying.

"In our team, the vast majority of people with firm beliefs do not need warnings."

The deputy commander sneered, turned and left.

Chapter 730 IX The Commander Who Lost His Mind

Maybe Lin Heyi's starting point is good, he wants to use himself as a negative example to remind others not to be a traitor.

But this sentence was not so pleasant to the deputy commander in chief.

What does this mean?

It is not enough that you are a traitor in the Eighth Route Army, there are others who need to use your body to tell them that being a traitor has no good end?

Lin Heyi is certain to die, and there is no room for negotiation on this point.

The state has state laws, and the military has military regulations. No matter what reason he became a traitor, he will never be forgiven.

Even if the little devil's torture was too cruel, and Lin Heyi couldn't bear it and chose to rebel, he still has to pay the price for his actions and choices.

Otherwise, those martyrs who were tortured by the little devils and tortured to death without revealing a word, they will also feel chilled under the nine springs.

In any case, this time the little devil's action against the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army was completely in vain.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, all of them are waste!"

Hideshi Yoshino cursed while holding the phone.

As the commander of the strategic zone, he rarely gets angry like this regardless of his image, but today he couldn't help it.

A piece of information that was accidentally interrogated by the grassroots squadron was reported to him through layers of reports, and finally reached him.

Thus, an operation was initiated by the commander of the strategic area, including the front army headquarters, military headquarters, subordinate divisions, brigades, and all members of the wing.

All the little devils, including Yoshino himself, believed that this operation would be successful without any suspense.

As long as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army can be captured alive, the situation in the entire North China Theater will be completely reversed in a short time, and the success of the invasion is just around the corner.

A deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army and more than 30 cadres from various headquarters and agencies, such a lineup is enough to make the little devil's heart flutter.

Even if it is risky, they are willing to do whatever it takes to try it.

What's more, there are only more than 300 guards accompanying him, which is almost like giving away for nothing.

For the sake of caution, with absolutely reliable information in hand, a regiment of troops was specially dispatched to ambush in advance.

Nearly 300 heavily armed little devil soldiers, against more than [-] Eighth Route Army, if it is not enough, then go to suicide as soon as possible.

Even five thousand dogs can bite people back, can't they?

Based on this mentality, all little devils are full of confidence.

In particular, senior military officers such as Hideshi Yoshino and Yota Katsumura waited leisurely for the news of victory after the operation started.

Unexpectedly, the news of victory did not come, but the news of defeat instead.

The Jingbian regiment suffered heavy losses. Since the commander of the regiment Jingbian Mingye, the staff officer, the captains of each brigade, and two-thirds of the squadron leaders were all killed.

More than half of the soldiers of the entire Wellside Regiment were killed in battle. Such a casualty rate is rarely seen on a large-scale battlefield.

Because the wing was disrupted, the officers were basically killed, and the remaining little devils had no command and became a mess.

While the little devil officers at all levels were eagerly waiting for the news, the remaining little devil soldiers of the Jingbian regiment were also waiting for orders from their superiors, because they didn't know who to report what happened here.

According to Ito Kunihiko's calculations, the deputy commander will arrive at the ambush point around 01:30 in the afternoon, and then the two sides will exchange fire.

There is a huge difference in the strength and firepower of the two sides. The battle will not last for too long, and it will end around two o'clock at the latest.

Counting the return time of the Jingbian Regiment, there will be news at three o'clock, and then just wait for the Jingbian Regiment to escort the person back to the Changshan Army Headquarters.

But until 03:30, there was still no news from the front. Yota Katsumura couldn't sit still, so he took the initiative to contact Kunihiko Ito.

Kunihiko Ito, who received the call from his boss, was also at a loss, because he had not received any news, so he could only tell Yota Katsumura that he would hurry up and ask.

Then Kunihiko Ito contacted Ueno Cansuke, but also did not get any news.

After such questioning step by step, the head of the brigade, Fukuyama Youdao, was also stunned, because his subordinate Mingye Inobe was the one who carried out the specific execution.

Inobe Mingye was at the mission site, and there was no way to contact him by phone. Fukuyama Youdao could only send inquiries through the radio.

As a result no call back was received.

Fukuyama Youdao reported to Ueno Kurasuke again, and it was already evening when the news of the loss of contact at the front reached Yoshino Hideshi.

Yoshino Hideshi ordered the troops closest to the scene to check the situation. By the time the little devil who was ambushing in Xin County to intercept the retreat hurried over, it was already dark, and only corpses and a group of remnants remained.

Obviously, the mission failed.

The reason why the Wellside Regiment did not reply to the telegram was that the communications soldier was killed, and the remaining soldiers did not know the code and could not reply.

The news of mission failure was uploaded step by step, and all the little devil officers who received the news were dumbfounded.

No one expected that such a result would happen. The deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army didn't catch him, and he even took half of the regiment.

Is the information wrong?The Eighth Route Army dispatched a large force to be in charge of guards, but the Jingbian unit failed?

After questioning the little devil soldiers at the scene, I learned that the intelligence did not seem to be wrong.

There was an extra cavalry company in the guard team, but in fact these little devil soldiers didn't know about it.

Because on the battlefield, the strength of a company is not conspicuous at all, especially the cavalry company and the guard company did not appear at the same time, nor did they line up, so at a glance, the Eighth Route Army only had a few hundred people.

Since it was a long-distance journey, everyone was on horseback. Except that the soldiers of the cavalry company used sabers when charging, which made the little devil suspect that there might be cavalry in the guard team, they didn't know anything else.

So when the result was handed over to Hideshi Yoshino, it turned out that there were no mistakes in the intelligence, and there were indeed only more than 300 guards.

However, the more than 300 Eighth Route Army were extremely brave. After evading the shelling, they charged against the infantry interception line, slashing and killing all the way, and finally succeeded in breaking through.

Hideshi Yoshino was shocked at first, he wondered if Yota Katsumura was deliberately joking with him, after all, Yota Katsumura would inevitably get carried away with such a great contribution, and it is understandable for him to deliberately tease himself.
