Ironically, the massacre, or execution, was arranged in front of a Guandi temple in Shiyangmiao Township, east of Baoji City. Lan Jihao sat at the gate of the Guandi Temple and ordered the 500 prisoners detained by the 1st Regiment of the 5th Division to be knifed. Each of the two veterans of the First Regiment carried the two arms of a captive and ran quickly from the courtyard on the west side of the Guandi Temple to a local quarry and ordered the captives to kneel. After arranging the ten prisoners, a platoon of the Wehrmacht recruits who had joined the expanded army had already been lined up behind them, and at a distance of fifty meters, the soldiers lined up neatly, raised their guns, opened the bolt, and took aim. After the command to "shoot", there was a deafening volley, and the bandits kneeling on the edge of the pit were hit in the chest, abdomen or in the head, basically killing with one shot, of course, there were also evil, three bullets did not hit the vital point, and they cried miserably on the ground. The recruits resisted the feeling of nausea, loaded their bullets, and waited for the next order. The platoon commander would give the order "inspect the battlefield, get on the bayonet, and walk in unison." "The visual impact is getting closer and closer, looking at the dead corpses that are disemboweled, or their heads are blooming, and the bandits with their legs, feet, and intestines broken on the ground squirming and howling, and finally some soldiers can't help but vomit, but without a password, these soldiers don't dare to stop at all, until they reach the corpse or quasi-corpse. After the three soldiers, the bandits, who had stabbed them in the back, were silent, followed by the three soldiers, who carried a dead corpse and kicked the corpse into a pit.

As soon as the platoon in front was finished, ten more bandits came up in the platoon behind, and after another volley, they were examined with bayonets, and one after the other they were thrown into the pit. It wasn't until every soldier of the regiment had taken turns three times that the more than 500 captured bandits were all executed. When some prisoners were carried to the well, in order to avoid the pain of being cut off by knives, they threw themselves into the pit without even kneeling, but they were inevitably beaten into a hornet's nest with submachine guns by the Lan Jihao guards standing at the edge of the pit. When some of the prisoners were carried to the edge of the pit, they were already so distraught that they could not kneel at all, so they had to wait for the soldiers to shoot the others and then approach and shoot them in the back of the head with rifles to relieve them. After kneeling, some of the captives were so frightened that their bodies were like sifting chaff, and they could not breathe after the shooting, but their bodies were full of transparent holes, and they howled miserably in pain, and the strange screams made people unbearable to hear. Of course, there are also three soldiers who happen to be killing for the first time, and their wrists are weak when aiming, and none of them hits the vital point, which makes the person who is killed suffer the most, and of course he will wail and scream.

During the massacre, Lan Jihao sat at the gate of the Guandi Temple with an expressionless face, drinking tea while checking the list of prisoners, everything was like a mechanical process, and there was a group of special guests next to him, more than 30 bandits tied to the pillar to watch the ceremony. These guys are all those habitual bandits who followed He Yutang to ambush the delegation, except for those who were killed on the spot and later killed in the street battle in Baoji City, the rest are here, their fate has been sealed, but it is not so easy to die.

The perimeter of the execution site is heavily guarded, but it does not prohibit thousands of civilians from coming to watch this once-in-a-lifetime killing game. When a young captive was being carried to the mouth of the pit and was about to die, an old man suddenly ran out of the crowd, ran up to the young man, hugged the young man, and shouted, "My son!" According to the old man, he was from the countryside near the city, and his son was originally working as a farmer at home, and he had never done anything wrong, and when he entered the city half a year ago to sell firewood, he was pulled by the team of "Hangzhou kidnappers" to become a soldier, and as soon as he became a soldier, Baoji City was besieged. According to an old man, he finally cried: "My son is not willing to be a soldier to eat food, and he has not committed any crimes, even if he has done any evil, he should be on the account of the 'Hangzhou kidnapper'." You want to kill my son, what a great wrong, that is really God's blindness! When he said that, he held on to his son, and said, "If you must kill my son, then please kill the old man first!" The father and son were brought to Lan Jihao. Lan Jihao groaned slightly, and asked the clerk to ask the surrounding people loudly if anyone knew about this person's evil deeds, but it turned out that these people didn't know this person, probably because he was arrested when he attacked Hang Kidnapper's lair at that time, and was regarded as Hang Kidnapper's personal guard, and most of those personal soldiers were habitual bandits who were unrelenting, so he was also included in the execution list. Lan Jihao, who understood the matter, waved his hand and said, "Just let him take him home!" The two of them kowtowed dozens of times in gratitude, and they didn't dare to go back.

All 500 captives (except for the one rescued by his father) were buried in the quarry pit in front of the Guandi Temple. Lan Tianwei immediately ordered: "The bandit captives detained in all divisions and regiments are ordered to be publicly executed tomorrow, and no one is allowed to be spared!" As a result, more than 1,500 other captives were publicly executed the next day in three separate locations. Afterwards, the body was doused with gasoline and burned, and then all the ashes were sprinkled into the Wei River.

The thirty or so lucky men, tied to the top of the pillar and watching the execution process for two days, were already full of liver and gall, and when they were executed on the third day, they found that three or four of them had been silent, and they were frightened to death. The rest did not end well, and when the bodies were incinerated, they were thrown into the fire, struggled in the flames for a few painful moments, and then perished with their sinful accomplices. And He Yutang's treatment went to the next level, he was personally broken by Lan Jihao with a pistol on the first day, and then disinfected with salt water every day, and only threw it to the people who came to the cockfighting platform on the last day, and he was torn alive by the people with his teeth without even leaving a miserable howl, and there was not even a little belt and bone left, leaving only a bloody stain on the ground. The fate of the living Hades was also photographed by reporters and put in the newspaper.

This incident was reported by the local newspapers, and the local officials and people in Shaanxi applauded, although this blue-faced and black-faced general of the National Defense Forces was like a murderer, but for the people of Sanqin, who had suffered from bandits, he was indeed an out-and-out protector. After hearing the news, some of the larger bandits either quickly packed up their nests and went west to the more uninhabited grasslands and Qingning areas, or the leaders fled one after another, and their subordinates were scattered, and often gangs of thousands of people disappeared overnight, and their subordinates fled with guns one after another, and birds and beasts scattered. As long as no one reports that they have blood debts within a month, most of them will be released from a year's labor in the road construction team, and they will be paid a few oceans of wages, and the homeless can continue to work in the road construction team, of course, with the same wages as the local hired workers.

The fact of such a large-scale public execution of prisoners could not be concealed by other warlords, but the Wehrmacht announced unabashedly that this was a warning to all the bandits and bullies in the country who were still causing trouble, and if they stopped now, they would still have a way to survive if they voluntarily surrendered, and when the time came for the whole country to suppress the bandits, they would be punished one by one in strict accordance with the crimes, and they would never be merciless. Lan Jihao even answered a reporter's question at a press conference in Xi'an, saying: "We will never forgive bandits who harm the people and harass the localities. The bandits who are still obsessed with it can try whether the means are strong or our defense army is sharp. ”

A reporter from the Revolutionary Party of Nanfang Minbao provocatively asked, not without provocation, why were the more than 30 bandits who attacked the delegation put at the end of the execution and used such a cruel punishment as burning them alive? Is it that the Wehrmacht is pretending to be a public servant to vent its personal anger?

Lan Tianwei stared at the eyes of this revolutionary party reporter and didn't speak for a minute, but the murderous aura that revealed made the reporter at a loss, and said that he was a reporter and asked Lan Tianwei to pay attention to his identity. Lan Tianwei smiled contemptuously at this and said: "I can tell you that these bandits deserve it, and their punishment is already doomed when they slaughter civilians, when they brutalize unarmed delegations, and when they attack our Wehrmacht soldiers in despicable and secret attacks." I can only say that their deaths are completely self-inflicted, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people, not killing is not enough to comfort the heroic souls who have died, and not killing is not enough to warn future generations. ”

"General Lan, you didn't answer my second question just now, why did you burn them, does this mean that the Wehrmacht can be above the laws of the country and declare personal vendettas?" The reporter consciously lost face by being forced to look at him just now, so he simply got into a relationship with Lan Tianwei.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Lan Tianwei straightened the entire military hat and said word by word: "Because those soldiers are my brothers." ”

After saying that, Lan Tianwei stood up and left the scene of the press conference, the reporters were stunned for a moment and their reactions were inconsistent, and most of the reporters in the north applauded, especially the reporters of the newspapers and magazines of the "National Defense Daily" and the "Volunteer Army", which were originally the national defense force system, and the reporters of the six provinces and autonomous regions also agreed with the attitude, and the reporters in the northeast, Yunnan, Guichuan and Guangxi, which were in deep trouble, could basically agree with Lan Tianwei's thunderbolt method, while the reporters in the Beijing-Tianjin region and the two lakes and Guangdong rebuked loudly. It seems that Lan Tianwei is the heinous bandit, but their denunciation does not seem to have any effect except for being replied with fists by the powerful military newspaper reporters.

The next day's press received mixed reviews on this, but Lan Tianwei's phrase "soldiers are my brothers" became his label and a symbol of the Wehrmacht, and no one should try to kill the Wehrmacht soldiers with intrigues, otherwise the Wehrmacht's retaliation will always be unimaginable to the opponent. In the world war, the armies of all countries knew that this cautious commander had a bottom line, that is, it was the destiny of each country to fight and die on the battlefield, but if he dared to perform tricks outside the battlefield or assassinate the Wehrmacht, then the Wehrmacht's retaliation would have no bottom line, and no country or organization could afford it.
