I went out to run errands today, and I only changed this chapter of 3,000 words, and I won't change it in the evening, sorry!

Chapter 37: Killing the Captives

The soldiers raised their guns and cheered, and the Yankees, not knowing what we were talking about, thought that we were going to execute them, but they were all pale and trembling, and some of them collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

Then when we escorted the captives to the rear, the Yankees thought they were going to be executed, and at least half of them stayed on their laurels. So much so that I had to tell them over and over again in English that the Chinese volunteers would not kill prisoners, that the volunteers would treat prisoners preferentially, and that we would abide by the Geneva Conventions......

I remembered that when I was watching a movie, I once saw the plot of the volunteers grabbing the American advisory group and trying to take them away but they couldn't go, and finally they could only carry them away, I always thought that the movie was exaggerated at that time, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Alas! This time, wearing the clothes of the volunteers, there is no need to worry about being beaten by your own people. When everyone walked out of the alley with the captives and the cotton clothes of the volunteers, they couldn't help but feel a sense of reincarnation. Wearing that yellow skin is really a bit like a rat crossing the street, and you have to be scared when you walk a few steps.

Look at the present, the soldiers are walking on the street with more than 100 Yankees with their heads held high, and the teams of volunteer soldiers running by them have thrown envious eyes to this side, and a few curious soldiers have also run to see what the Americans look like, they have never seen Americans, and they are smiling and smiling to scratch the big noses of Americans! Seeing that the head of the Chu regiment was so happy that he laughed.

Hey! The military uniforms of the people in front of them seem to be a little different, and after walking for more than half an hour, I saw a group of people in the dark in front of me from a distance, although it was not so orderly, but the military uniforms were much newer than the torn cotton clothes of the volunteers, and they were much more majestic!

"Commander, those are ......" I couldn't help but ask Captain Chu in a low voice.

Regiment Commander Chu was also stunned, if it is the enemy army, it is impossible to walk around the position of the volunteer army in such an obviously different military uniform, if it is a friendly army...... Oh! The regiment commander and I both understood now that it must be the North Korean People's Army!

"Let's go, let's take a look." Captain Chu said excitedly: "Maybe we can still meet Navi Shisky, let him see if we can beat the Yankees!" ”

"Done!"

The crowd walked up in high spirits, and the captives were the trophies we could show off.

But what disappointed us was that we didn't meet Vykosky and his party, and it was Choi Sung-hee's captain battalion commander who received us.

"Comrades have worked hard!" Cui Chengxi's eyes lit up when he looked at the prisoners we were holding, and there seemed to be a hint of cold light, and then he warmly shook our hands and said, "We are ordered by General Jin to replenish food and ammunition for the volunteer army, and the prisoners will be handed over to us!" I will report the situation to my superiors truthfully, and ask my comrades to come here to receive food! ”

I translated Choi Sung-hee's words to Commander Chu, who nodded and agreed, the volunteer soldiers themselves had no food, and it was even worse to bring a large group of prisoners, and we went to Korea to fight as volunteers, and we were originally going to hand over the prisoners of war to the North Koreans.

But after the handover, something happened that neither I nor Commander Chu expected, and it even affected the dialogue between the commander of the Volunteer Army and the supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Il Sung.

After handing over the prisoners to the KPA, we happily went to receive food, and when I think about it, I feel a little unbalanced, we are here to help them fight, but what do you say, our troops are not as well dressed as the KPA, they are not as well fed as the KPA, and even their equipment is not as good as theirs.

The People's Army is a local, food can be eaten from the common people, military uniforms and equipment will be supplied by the Soviets, and even they have their own arsenal to produce ammunition themselves, but on the other hand, the Volunteer Army ...... When this volunteer army was in court just now, the common people didn't know who we were helping to fight, and they borrowed food from the common people because of the language barrier, and they were still regarded as United Nations troops!

I haven't eaten a bite of food for several days, and the soldiers are all so excited when they line up to receive food, and they have won another battle, and they can have a full meal, which is nothing better for the volunteers.

But what I don't know is that it is not only our volunteers who are happy, but also Major Paltz, whom we have just captured. Ever since we were taken prisoner, Major Paltz and his men had been on the lookout for we did not look like regular soldiers in our tattered cotton clothes, and more like the Indians whom their ancestors had fought against.

They were Americans, and they knew the ferocity of the Indians, and they also knew that the Indians had a habit of scalping off their enemies as trophies. And these rags-clad volunteers in front of them are very similar to the Indians, both in terms of the way they rush forward and the terrifying shouts. As soon as they thought of this, Major Partz and his men felt numb on the top of their heads, and the scene of being scalped alive flashed in their minds one by one, and the more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.

Now it's okay, the army that receives them looks neat and tidy, and the weapons and equipment are also very uniform, at least they have the appearance of a regular army, at least not so much like a barbarian, they should know about humanitarianism!

Major Paltz and his men followed the officer into a cabin with great ease, and sat down in a row as he had requested.

Then something terrible happened, the officer walked up behind them and pulled out the Tokarev pistol pinned to his waist......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Bang! Bang......" Several gunshots rang out from the hut, at regular intervals, and the volunteer soldiers who were lining up to receive food quickly understood what was happening, and invariably picked up their guns and rushed in the direction of the hut.

The KPA guards in front of the hut didn't seem to expect us to react so quickly and violently, or to be intimidated by our prestige for defeating the Yankees, and to retreat to the side without the slightest resistance.

Captain Chu ran at the forefront, and when he came to the door, he kicked the door open without saying a word, and the bloody scene in the room was displayed in front of everyone: there were several American GIs with cracked brains on the ground, red and white. Choi Sung-hee was holding his gun at a row of prisoners sitting on the ground, one of whom was Major Paltz, who was panting with a pale face......

"Bastard!" I rushed forward and shoved Choi Sung-hee to the ground, then kicked the gun out of his hand

"Who dares to ......" Cui Chengxi was not small, and he was about to get angry when he turned over and stood up, but when he saw that it was us, he quickly smiled and said: "Comrade, what's going on?" ”

"What's going on?" I angrily asked, "Who told you to kill the captives?" What about your chiefs? I must report today's events to your chiefs......"

"Is there something wrong?" Choe Sung-hee asked, a little confused: "We are responding to General Kim Il Sung's call to resolutely destroy the enemy who opposes the people and undermines the reunification of Korea!" ”

Yes? Only then did I realize that killing the prisoner was not Choi Sung-hee's self-assertion to relieve his hatred.

"What's more......" Cui Chengxi continued: "Our food is very tight, how can we let the precious food of the vast number of people be wasted on these lackeys?" ”

"No way!" After I translated Cui Chengxi's words to Commander Chu, he quickly made a decision: "Let's take these prisoners with us, we must not let this kind of indiscriminate killing of prisoners continue, besides, if you catch it, you will kill it, then who will dare to surrender to the enemy?" How will this battle be fought in the future! ”

After saying that, he took those prisoners out, and when he was done, he explained to me with peace of mind: "Tell that guy that if they still kill prisoners like this in the future, all the people captured by our volunteers will be released and won't be given to him!" ”

"Comrade! This ......" Cui Chengxi couldn't help but say in embarrassment when he saw that we had brought the prisoners back: "Comrade, this makes it difficult for me to explain in front of the chief!" ”

"You just say to your chief, this is what the volunteers mean!" I glanced at Cui Chengxi with disdain and said: "Since the founding of our volunteer army, we have always adhered to the discipline of preferential treatment of prisoners, and you can use this discipline to teach your chief!" ”

Pleasedon'tkillme. Major Paltz had just come out of the house, and when he recognized me, who spoke English, he grabbed my hand: "Pleasedon'tkillme, Ihaveawifeandaboy, Ilovethemverymuch.Please...... (Please don't kill me, I have a wife and a child, and I love them so much.) Please...... ）”

"I'm sorry Major!" I reassured Paltz in English, "I'm sorry for what just happened, but I can guarantee that it will never happen again, and you are safe!" ”

"Really?" Major Paltz asked suspiciously.

"It's true." I nodded and said to him affirmatively: "The Chinese People's Volunteers treat prisoners preferentially, and you better let your subordinates distinguish the uniforms of the Chinese army and the North Korean army, I think it will be beneficial for you!" ”

"Yes...... Major Paltz nodded busily, telling his men how to learn to distinguish between the armies of the two countries, and explaining that they must not go with the North Korean army.

What I did not expect was that soon after we released a group of prisoners, all UN troops knew that if they wanted to surrender, they had to find Chinese in tattered cotton clothes, with outdated weapons in their hands, and covered in dirt.

Commander Chu and I escorted the prisoners farther and farther away in the night, and the sound of guns became smaller and smaller, and the first battle also began with the first defeat of the American army and retreat to the south bank of the Qingchuan River. But I know that what awaits us next is an even more tragic second battle......
