Chapter 40: Victory

The hunger strike was echoed by all the POWs of the Volunteer Army, and at the same time, the POWs of the Korean People's Army actively supported it! The next morning, the silence of the entire Wakadai prisoner of war camp was somewhat frightening. When it was time to eat, the Korean soldiers who were cooking; No matter how much you urge, no one will cook. They hurried to report to the chief, who had just finished speaking; The small leader who escorted the prisoners of war to work came in a panic and reported that the prisoners of war refused to work. The top commander of the prisoner of war camp, standing in front of the window and looking, raised his hand and looked at his watch; It was supposed to be a procession now, with only a few guards looking around in the cold. Yesterday it was a small number of people in the three prisons, but today it has grown to thousands of prisoners of war camps. He also felt that the situation was a bit serious, and asked his subordinates what was wrong, but the subordinates never expected that the problem was Liang Guocheng, who beat the prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp; It's not like it's been in the past. At this time, it was reported that the prisoners of war had to negotiate with their superiors. He was completely angry, and his nose was crooked. He felt that the front-line troops captured prisoners of war; It is simply redundant and should be killed directly on the battlefield. Now take them and feed them; Eat and drink and let them do some work, and these slackers go on a hunger strike and refuse to work. And also respect international law and the bullshit Geneva Conventions. If there is no restraint, shoot the leader a few times, and all the troubles he feels will disappear at once!

He stood in front of the window, looking at the crowd outside, and couldn't think of a good way for a while. He suddenly thought of his own people, and immediately gave an order: from now on, all soldiers are not allowed to ask for leave and are not allowed to go out. With so many people disobeying management, this kind of behavior is second only to riots, and if he does not manage the soldiers well, let them come and go as they please, and inadvertently tell his superiors about the prisoners of war who are on hunger strike and refuse to work, he can hardly think of the consequences. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and if the problem is not solved as soon as possible, and the prisoners of war are allowed to return to normal life and labor, the above knows that it will be sooner or later. He noticed Company Commander Zhang, who was particularly active in jumping up and down. He felt that Company Commander Zhang was not isolated, and there were people behind him who had ideas. Because he saw Company Commander Zhang from the window, he sneaked into the prison with a few people to avoid everyone's sneakiness, and lobbied the prisoners of war after coming out; Crowds of prisoners of war can cause slight commotion. He asked the orderlies to find prisoners of war and guard captains, and pointed at the lobbying company commander Zhang and a few people in front of the window; And he thinks that the person behind the scenes in the prison is arrested. The two captains quickly gathered their troops and ran to the front of the prison to set up a guard and arrest people. After all, prisoners of war are a vulnerable group of people who have lost their freedom, and when they see so many soldiers rushing towards them, they are a little timid, and some of them have eyes showing fear! However, most people feel that they are prisoners of war abroad, and they live with a little hope of returning home alive, and they feel that it is impossible for them to leave North Korea alive. In fact, these people have seen life and death. When the guards arrested people, at first the captors and the guards wrestled, and later many prisoners of war scuffled together to protect the captors and the guards. There were many prisoners of war, few guards, and the scene was a bit out of control. A small group of people tore at a guard. Breaking free from the guards, he ran out desperately, his shoes were trampled off, his military equipment was torn to pieces, and his guns were thrown away. The scene was chaotic like a fight in a Chinese bazaar, and if it is not effectively controlled, there may be riots. The commander of the POW camp could not stay any longer, and gathered all the guards to surround the POWs, all the guns pointed at the POWs. The commander took a soldier in a *; A shuttle bullet was fired into the sky. Thousands of prisoners of war were arguing with the guards, and suddenly there was a bang! A crisp gunshot rang out, and everyone stopped suddenly, and the guards took the opportunity to escape from the crowd in confusion. Liang Guocheng endured the pain when he came out of the prison for some time, and now he is with Zhang Lian Chang, something unexpected happened, if there are any consequences, he feels that he should bear it personally! The prisoners of war consciously formed a circle and surrounded them in the middle. The commander saw the guards running out of the crowd; Barefoot, carrying trousers, and military uniforms, they were torn one by one, and the most serious ones were missing three guns. Realizing the seriousness of the problem, his face changed suddenly, and he ordered all the guards to load their guns and hold them in their hands. The nervous voices were a little hoarse, and they shouted several times to ask the prisoners to hand over their weapons. Although the guards on the periphery held guns in their hands, there were a few robbers mixed in the thousands of people, and if they shot themselves through the cracks, it would be difficult for so many people to find them, and they knew very well that the commander would not slaughter thousands of prisoners of war for the death of a guard.

An extra minute of delay is very dangerous for the guards, and even more dangerous for the commanders. Because of the different positions, the responsibilities are also different, and the soldiers only have their own lives; Be responsible for your own work; The commander shall guard more than a hundred; Thousands of prisoners of war were responsible. It was getting darker and darker, and only a few searchlights lit up. This kind of lamp shines from the top down, and the person can really see it above the shoulder. The black shadow below the shoulder; It was the black shadow of thousands of people, that is, the soldiers searched one by one, and they put it in the black shadow casually, but they couldn't find it at all. No matter what method is used for this kind of thing, we must find all ways to solve it tonight, so as not to have too many long nights and dreams. Thinking of this, he changed his smile: "As long as everyone hands over their weapons, I guarantee with the honor of a soldier that today's incident will not be held accountable!" "No one spoke in the crowd, and the loneliness that the guards felt was dangerous.

The commander continued: "Whatever the problems and conditions, as long as you hand over your weapons, everything is negotiable!" ”

At such a critical time, each branch member naturally takes responsibility. They slowly walked through the people and gathered around Liang Guocheng. They had a brief meeting and concluded that the events of the day were too sudden to be suitable for rioting; Because the branch has not yet fully penetrated into the entire POW camp, the POWs are not prepared, and if they succeed in breaking through the POW camp and going in that direction and that road, how can the problem of feeding thousands of people be solved. Now there were only three guns, and there was no seized ammunition, and the price to pay against more than a hundred guards was too great. In the end, it was decided to hand over the weapons and put forward the five conditions that had been thought of together. Liang Guocheng wanted to hand over the gun to negotiate the conditions, but Company Commander Zhang disagreed, and finally the two separated together and everyone stood out. If the weapons are sent, it means that there will be no major riots. The enemy commander was very happy and shook hands with everyone in a mock manner. He didn't have much impression of Liang Guocheng as a wounded soldier, and he remembered Company Commander Zhang too deeply. He believed that he had led the several disturbances in the prisoner of war camp, and he was eager to shoot him. It's just that the situation has just calmed down today, and if you kill someone, it can cause more trouble. He suppressed the fire in his heart, put down the hand on the holster, and thought to himself: I will kill you one day! He took the conditions written by Liang Guocheng, tilted his head and looked at them carefully by the searchlight. The conditions mentioned by the prisoners of war are all the basic conditions for human survival, and there is nothing special that can be agreed. As for the shooting of prisoners of war the other day, it was the South Koreans who shot the North Koreans. They were a nation; It's the same clan and clan that slaughter each other, and it has nothing to do with us. He had the chairs moved, and the two sides negotiated in front of the prisoners of war and the guards. The enemy commander expressed the conditions for accepting prisoners of war, but in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, prisoners of war had the right to abide by the system, in addition to the original system, and put forward the following conditions:

1 Prisoners of war may not go on a hunger strike or refuse to work for any reason.

2 Guards must not be seized for any reason.

3 Prisoners of war who are treated unfairly may seek the battalion commander and may not meet or cause trouble.

The events of this day were unexpected for both sides. Both sides were not fully prepared, and the terms of the negotiations were also random and thoughtful. The proposed conditions are also immediate problems, and they are easily accepted by the other party. The two sides soon reached a conclusion. The enemy commander stood on a chair and read out the terms of both sides aloud. In fact, he mainly let the prisoners of war behind him hear his conditions. The prisoners of war were jubilant, and although the conditions were not entirely satisfactory, it was a victory; This was the first victory under the leadership of the organization after entering the prisoner of war camp!

That night, a doctor went to the prison to examine the patient, and Liang Guocheng and several other seriously injured patients were treated. The next day, he was seriously injured and seriously ill, and stayed behind to not participate in labor. The food also improved slightly, and the prisoners of war were able to eat basically. Although the prisoners of war did not know the role of the organization and leadership collective, they believed in a few organizers even more, and the branch was also playing a greater role!
