902 POW Pit
In the midst of brutal street fighting. Discipline is no longer enough for the soldiers to be as effective as they can be. Because this kind of fighting leaves no hope for the soldiers. Instead, the soldiers saw more and more people falling, and then never getting back up.
What is even more cruel is that the veterans of the Qi army resorted to cruel acts of revenge. The veteran, who had been wounded in the arm, saw the captured Yan militia. In fact, the militia has been beaten to the ground. was brutally beaten by the Qi soldiers, and a lot of teeth were knocked out. Broken ribs with a lot of roots. What's worse is that the militia's lower body is completely abolished. Because the soldiers of the Qi army specifically attacked here. The militia can be described as worse than death.
"Let me come." The veteran had a simple bandage of one arm to take revenge on the Yan militia who shot at them.
"I'm going to give you a taste of death." The veteran said with a bright bayonet in his hand.
"No, don't kill me. Please, please. "The Yan militia still has the last desire to survive. He hoped that the people of Qi would let him go. At least I'll be alive for a while.
"Phew." The veteran spat out as he spoke. Then he stabbed the other person in the abdomen.
"Poof." The sound of a bayonet piercing a cavity into the opponent's abdomen.
"Poof." Then the bayonet slices through the abdomen of the opponent.
"Whoa." In an instant, the other party's intestines flowed out.
Blood mixed with the intestines flowed all over the floor.
"Wow." Seeing such a brutal and bloody scene. The Qi soldier on the side also vomited, and the other party was in the final struggle the whole time, and the militia rolled on the ground in the hope that this would reduce his pain. But it was in vain. Doing so would only increase the rate of his death.
"Hahaha." Seeing such a situation. The Qi army veteran laughed maniacally. This kind of laugh is a bit morbid, and this kind of laugh makes people look very mad. And the companions on the side felt very terrible, because it was so inhumane to do so. But there's no way they can care about it. After all, they can't handle this kind of thing.
The veteran laughed maniacally. I saw the enemy rolling on the ground in pain, blood and intestines flowing all over the ground. And the other party was in a painful dying struggle, and this revenge based on being painful by others calmed the wounded heart of the veteran a little. The thrill of revenge offset part of his pain. This made the veteran feel a little happy.
What followed was what the Allies discovered during the clearing of prisoner confessions and the cleaning of the battlefield. The corpses of the militia were destroyed. Even after the opponent dies, the body must be chopped into several pieces for dismemberment. The revenge was so intense. Even the Allied soldiers who listened to the confessions felt a hint of fear. There were also many women in the Yan Kingdom who were insulted round after round, and the soldiers on both sides were at fault. Evidence to be provided afterwards. But that's all after the battle.
There were gunshots everywhere in Yandu City, and explosions were heard from time to time. The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce. The whole of Yan was full of fierce battles. The railway station defended by the Qin and Zhao armies was not attacked by the Qi army for the time being. On the road to the Qin concession, the Qi army suffered heavy losses, and the bombs planted in advance killed many Qi soldiers.
"Knock knock. Bang bang. Boom. "It's late at night. But the battle outside the window continued. Shang Wen stood quietly by the window and looked down at the entire Yan Capital.
There was war everywhere, gunfire everywhere. The screams of the soldiers can still be heard. Shang Wen looked at the war outside the window with some concern.
"What's wrong. War phobia again. Yingyu walked from behind Shang Wen at this time.
"It's not fear. Yes・・・・・・・ I can't tell. Shang Wen's eyes looked blankly out of the window.
"I don't know why you're so afraid of war." Yingyu said with the attitude of a militant.
"Fear of war. War is not a good thing, so many people died, and I don't know why? Shang Wen said worriedly.
"Knock knock." It was at this time. There was a knock on the door. No one will appreciate what the mood will be like in this fashion article. Shang Wen saw war several times. The sheer power of the weapon made Shang Wen feel excited. But when these weapons cause huge casualties. Shang Wen felt a pang of guilt.
"Come in." Shang Wen reluctantly let the knocker in.
"Sir." Entering the door is a civilian person.
"Oh. Oh, my God. Sir. Please leave the window immediately. There is a war going on here. Sir, you should look out for your own safety. The civilian said immediately. As he spoke, he pushed Shang Wen aside. Then quickly close the curtains.
The curtains slowly closed. But at the other end of the curtain. The war is still ongoing. No one can stop it.
In the life of the Qin State. People are always inseparable from the topic of war. Qin's martial temperament made the people of Qin pay much more attention to war than any other thing.
"Broadcast the latest situation, a unit of our Qin army has inflicted heavy losses on the slave rebellion army in the north. Our army beheaded 30,000 enemy troops. "In the broadcast news of Xianyang. The news broadcast of the Qin State said this.
"Oooo The people of Qin were shocked when they heard such news. The people of Qin took to the streets one after another to congratulate the new victory of the Qin army.
"Our army beheaded 30,000 people. Hahaha. The people of Qin shouted loudly. Then he shouted loudly while drinking wine and celebrated loudly. People in Xianyang also set off firecrackers to celebrate. When bad news came from the north. The people of Qin were very worried. The price of their meat has gone up. Now they heard that the front had defeated the slave revolt. In addition, the words "30,000 beheadings", which are no longer commonly used, were used in the broadcast. This made the people of Qin feel that victory was truly coming.
In Xianyang, the people warmly celebrated the victory of the Qin army again. When the price of meat for the people of Xianyang in Qin was about to fall. The Third Division of the Qin Army, which was urgently reinforced by the Northern Army of Qin, was having a heated discussion about the matter of the prisoners.
"Report." A second lieutenant officer of the Qin Army shouted from outside the tent.
"Come in." A lieutenant colonel staff officer impatiently handled the documents in his hand.
"Report sir. This is a report of the prisoners of our 9th Infantry Regiment. The lieutenant said with his head held high. The reinforcements of the Qin army rushed to the north under the rapid transportation of the train. They soon spread out in the northern grasslands of the Qin State. With the help of a well-developed transportation network system. They swept the large and small pastures in the northern part of the Qin State in an organized manner. The slave rebellion was unorganized, they were like locusts, they went wherever they went, they grabbed and killed wherever they went. There is no purpose at all.
Moreover, their organization is particularly poor, often with only one temporary leader, and others quickly join as soon as they see that there is a benefit to be gained. They ransacked pastures all over the Qin State to carry out looting activities. But it was precisely this kind of disorganization that allowed the Qin State to use its limited forces and concentrate it to quickly solve it. Although they were all brave, especially those Xiongnu and Hu slaves, they were all very warlike. In hand-to-hand combat. It is very likely that the Qin army is at a disadvantage. However, the Qin army was able to rely on the huge advantage of weapons to quickly encircle and suppress it.
The slaves were able to fight when they encountered the Qin army at first. But it didn't take more than five minutes. In the face of the powerful offensive of the Qin army, it will quickly collapse, and then the cavalry will be dispatched. After a period of wanton slashing and slaughtering of slaves. The slaves quickly surrendered. This is how the Qin army captured a large number of slaves and prisoners of war.
"How many?" The lieutenant colonel asked without raising his head.
"What?" The second lieutenant originally thought that the lieutenant colonel would ask curiously, but the lieutenant colonel acted very indifferent.
"I mean, how many people did you take prisoners?" The lieutenant colonel asked impatiently.
"Oh." The second lieutenant was somewhat disappointed. But he continued.
"Nine thousand eight hundred and twelve." The second lieutenant said.
"So much. We don't have a place and we don't have so much food to provide for these slaves. The lieutenant colonel put down the work in his hand at this time and said lazily.
"More than 10,000 people sent by the 15th regiment yesterday have not eaten a bite of food. We've killed more than a hundred. They were just a little quieter. If we don't feed them anymore, I guess we'll have to kill them all before we can take the prisoners. The lieutenant colonel looked at the second lieutenant and said.
And the second lieutenant looked at the lieutenant colonel in surprise. He was surprised to hear the news. He did not expect that prisoners of war would become a disaster.
"Your regimental commander is really right. Won't they all kill these slave prisoners of war? The lieutenant colonel said.
"Learn the 13th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment. They disposed of all the captured prisoners of war on the spot. Only kills are reported, not the number of prisoners. The lieutenant colonel said.
"In this way, you have solved a lot of problems for us." Lieutenant Colonel said.
"Report." A sergeant hurriedly reported and shouted loudly outside the tent.
"What's the matter?" The lieutenant colonel asked.
"There were serious riots in the prisoner-of-war camps. We can't stop it. The sergeant said nervously.
"Damn it." As he spoke, the lieutenant colonel picked up his gun and walked out of the tent.
"You're causing us trouble." The lieutenant colonel said impatiently.
The second lieutenant watched the lieutenant colonel leave.
In the central part of the Qin army's garrison, there was a huge naturally dry lake. The lake can accumulate water in the summer, and then several nearby rivers divert some of the water here during heavy rains to form a huge lake. Say huge. Actually, no. Because enormity is relative. However, this dry lake is now home to a large number of prisoners of war.
The Qin army surrounded the lake with several layers of barbed wire. Machine guns, searchlights, plus some flares from time to time. Under the illumination of flares. Finally, you can see that the dry lake is crowded with slave captives. All the captives captured by the ambush were escorted here. They were thrown straight down the riverbed. And the slaves couldn't climb up. Qin soldiers could stab slaves with bayonets who tried to climb up. The assassinated bodies were thrown directly into this huge "prisoner of war pit".
"What are they doing?" The lieutenant colonel asked, holding a leather whip.
"We had just put in a little bit of food when they had a serious rush." The captain explained.
"Damn it. We drop grenades, they don't eat them. The lieutenant colonel asked.
"This." The captain on the side was speechless for a moment.
"Take a good look at these prisoners of war. Wait for the command above. The lieutenant colonel looked at the dense crowd of prisoners of war. Headache said.
And the third division of the Qin army was chattering about this issue.
"These slaves are our property. You can't kill our property. A local councillor representing local rights said.
"But these slaves were thugs before. They have burned down your pastures and slaughtered your cattle and sheep. Some people have lost their lives for it. Can they also call these property? One major politely pointed out that the slaves were prisoners of war.
"But you can't all solve it on the spot." The local councillor protested.
"That's how you deal with thugs." The Major said insistingly.
The military was divided into two factions in the treatment of prisoners of war, one who wanted to protect the slaves, and they believed that they should have good relations with the local ranchers so that they could make a fortune.
The idea of the officers was this. They can take these captive slaves. Sell it again. In this way, you can get a considerable amount of extra money. This income could be obtained from the slave ranchers. The rancher has the pasture in his hands. However, all of their slaves revolted. Then the military can take advantage of this gap and make a lot of war money.
The slave owners knew this, but they preferred to settle the matter in a lawsuit rather than dwell on it with the officers. The two parties could not agree on the price issue. This part of the officers mainly wanted to make a fortune.
And the other side. But they are the officers who hold real power, but they are worried about the huge security risks posed by prisoners of war.
The Third Division currently has about 100,000 slave prisoners of war on its hands. The prisoners of war were kept in the huge prisoner of war pit. But there was still no security around the Qin army. The number of slaves was about a million. And the strength of the Qin army is too limited. They couldn't kill so many people. In order to deter the other side, they need to take all extraordinary measures. In particular, there are still a large number of slaves around them who are still out doing mob-like activities. If they inadvertently kill someone. Attacking from the front and back, the Qin army will be defeated.
Take these issues into account. Tu Sui, commander of the Third Division of the Qin Army. He was transferred directly from the Mission to the position of division commander. He decided to solve the problem very much by extraordinary means. His solution was. Kill. Kill all the slaves. In order to solve this big problem once and for all.
"They're thugs, and for us, it's a huge safety hazard. We have to address this security concern. At this time, Tu Sui said.
Everyone around calmed down and looked at the Supreme Commander.
"There are more than 100,000 prisoners of war, and we have less than 12,000." Tu Sui's Third Division still has some units that have not followed up quickly, such as medical support units. These units are logistics units, and they have a lot of supplies. But Tu Sui's combat forces have already begun.
"The disparity in strength is just too great. If it weren't big, maybe I wouldn't do it. But the problem is that the ratio is simply too large. We don't know what's going on around us yet. Tu Sui said resolutely.
"The enemy situation is unknown. Moreover, I was given the order to quickly resolve the slave revolt in the north. If we had these slaves, we would have to spend more people to keep these prisoners of war. We can't afford to detain so many people at all. Tu Sui analyzed.
"If you let it out and give it to those slave owners, who knows. Will these slaves continue to riot. Tu Sui said. And everyone around him was watching his reaction.
"So, for the sake of the security of the Qin State. In order not to leave hidden dangers, these slaves, all, on the spot, were disposed of. Tu Sui announced the final plan. As he himself analyzed. If these prisoners of war were kept, it would inevitably bring huge security risks to the Qin State, and the Third Division was likely to be defeated at the hands of these slaves. In order not to let the opponent lose. He decided to strike first. Kill all the prisoners of war. to prevent future troubles.
"All the people obey." At this time, Tu Sui gave an order.
The "・・・・・・" command was all in place under intense planning. A bloody massacre began.
"Whoa." The sound of a nervous troop movement was heard. A company of Qin troops was transferred.
"All stand upright." One of the captains shouted.
"Uproar." There was a neat upright voice.
"Everybody's on orders." The captain shouted.
"The first row, the left flank cover, the second row, the center. Third row. Right wing. Mortar platoon flanked rear cover. The captain ordered.
"Let's get moving." The captain quickly gave the order.
"Bang la la blah." After an order was given. The Qin army quickly unfolded the order.
"Flutter." The sound of a flare hitting the sky was heard. Under the illumination of flares, the Qin army like this company was unfolding around the huge prisoner of war pit.
"Click." The base of the mortar was laid on the ground at once.
"Whoa." Then, the artillerymen skillfully placed the barrels on it. They are waiting for the order to carry out the launch. One of the gunners already had mortar shells in his hands.
The machine gunner had already deployed the machine gun, ready to shoot. The bullet is loaded.
"Sir. Do we need to think about it one last time? The staff officer on the side asked.
"Nope." Tu Sui replied resolutely. In his view, there was no use in doing so.
"We have to do it." Tu Sui said.
"Yes, sir." The staff officer said.
"How prepared our troops are." Tu Sui asked.
"There are three minutes left, and you can open fire." The staff officer said from the side.
"Okay, wait." Tu Sui said.
Actually, this time. The Qin army is ready. All of them are nervously going through a quiet and unquiet time. What is not calm is the hearts of the soldiers of the Qin army. They know what they're doing. And the calm is. It was so quiet in the last three minutes. It was so quiet that the world seemed to stop.
"Puff puff." Three muffled voices came. Three red flares flew into the sky.
"Boom, boom. Sudden protrusion. Dodo. Dodo. Dodo. Bang bang. Bang. Burst. Then came the sound of gunfire. The mortar shell made a beautiful curve and flew out. Explode in a huge prisoner of war pit. Large swaths of slaves were killed.
The machine gun could see beams flying out. Bullets were shooting at them frantically. More of them are rifles. Although they are slow, they can shoot without aiming.
"Puff puff." And behind the riflemen who take turns shooting with rifles in their hands. The Qin army arranged a large number of bombardiers to drop grenades, and some companies even prepared explosive packs. Objects such as iron nails were wrapped in explosives bags and dropped directly into prisoner of war pits.
"Ahh There were a lot of screams from the prisoner of war pits. Many slaves were hit by flying bullets, and the flying grenades killed them directly. The crazy behavior of the Qin army made these slaves passively acceptable.
"Damn slave." Tu Sui took the binoculars with great interest to check what was happening in the prisoner of war pit. A large number of slaves were killed. The grenade exploded in a large area. Machine gun bullets knocked over the slaves in patches.
"Yes. That's it. Kill all those slaves. Tu Sui watched the slaughter scene excitedly. A cannonball directly blasted a slave into pieces. Splashes of blood flew everywhere. Fifty-zero bullets were fired at the waist and the slave was killed. Internal organs are flowing everywhere. But Tu Sui didn't feel bloody at all.
"Maniac." The staff officer in the back whispered. Because, Tu Sui not only watched with relish, but he even shouted loudly. I can't wait to shoot the slaves wildly with a machine gun.
"Be quiet." Another staff officer on the side said.
"During his tenure as colonel, Commander Tu led a regiment of troops to massacre the Huns. At that time, the Huns were killed, and this ravine was full of corpses, and the corpses filled the ravine. The bloody one really became a river. The staff officer on the side said.
And the staff officer who scolded Tu Sui was stunned. It seems that Tu Sui has not slaughtered prisoners of war once or twice. No wonder it's so morbid. And the staff officer believed. Military personnel should not be involved in such a thing. But Tu Sui was thinking about something else. Only by killing these slaves can the current situation of the 3rd Infantry Division be completely and safely relieved. If this situation could not be resolved, then the Third Division would not be able to complete the orders issued by King Qin.
They are here for the safety of the whole North. For the northern security of the Qin State. The Qin army had to slaughter its opponent so brutally.
Pieces of slaves kept falling. And the barrel of Qin Jun's gun still spewed out a large number of tongues of fire, and among these tongues of fire, there were also a large number of bullets flying around. The massacre continued throughout the night. Until dawn.
