"Company commander, the order is down!" Company correspondent Xiao Zhang hurriedly ran out of the temporary company headquarters, searched around for a long time, with beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, gently wiped the sweat beads with his arms, and handed the order to the company commander Xiao Chengming.

Xiao Chengming, who was talking happily with Yu Zilong, the commander of the military police company, after hearing the order, the smile on his face flashed, and then the expression on his face was serious, he threw away the cigarette in his hand, stomped on the ground fiercely, and at the same time reached out to take the telegram in Xiao Zhang's hand.

Xiao Chengming's face became more and more ugly, and Lianbu's expression could be described as fickle, like a face-changing trick, flexible and changeable, and finally Xiao Chengming smiled, this task didn't make him feel wronged, but it was a pity that the other captives who fell out of his hands!

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Yu Zilong stepped forward and said with a somewhat anxious expression.

Xiao Chengming handed the telegram to Yu Zilong, after all, he still had to communicate with him, the commander of the military police company, before doing this kind of thing, otherwise when his soldiers really did it, the military police would come out to stop it, and his own brothers would quarrel, and it would be easy to delay the matter and let others see the jokes.

Yu Zilong hurriedly looked down after receiving the telegram, he wanted to know what kind of telegram this was? As much as possible, Xiao Chengming, a ruthless character, can show this kind of expression, Xiao Chengming's ruthlessness is not unknown to Zilong, nor has he never seen it. As the fonts entered Yu Zilong's sight one by one, Yu Zilong's curious mind no longer felt a trace of curiosity. On the contrary, at this time, his heart was also shaken, and he was deeply disturbed by this telegram.

Xiao Chengming is okay to say, his subordinates are also in charge of this company, but Yu Zilong is different, his soldiers are scattered in various companies, and only a small part is thrown in his hands, if this incident really happens, Yu Zilong can't imagine it, and he can't imagine what will happen in the Zhengnan Army?

"What are you going to do?" Yu Zilong looked at Xiao Chengming with some weakness and asked.

"Do as you were told!" Xiao Chengming calmed down a little, isn't this what he wants to see these people end up like this? Now that he has the Shang Fang sword given by Shangfeng, if he still doesn't dare to do it, then what's the point of being a soldier?

"Hey, the orders of the superiors still have to be carried out conscientiously, but I pity these prisoners." Yu Zilong turned his head to look at the trembling captives who were hiding on the side, and there was a look of pity in his eyes, but it was not sympathy, nor was it pity.

"Okay, you make your preparations, I'll send someone to inform my subordinates, so that they don't beat themselves up." Yu Zilong turned his head, those people were to blame, and he would not sympathize with them, because they did not deserve sympathy.

"Well, you go, we'll start working in twenty minutes, and then we'll go to the mission point to assemble." Xiao Chengming nodded, at this time he was also a little reluctant in his heart, although his heart was very hard and resolute, but when it really came to this moment, he was still a little soft-hearted. However, Xiao Chengming knows that he can't be soft-hearted, as a soldier, as an officer, he can't be soft-hearted all the time in the war, only hard-hearted, only by hitting the enemy hard, can his losses be minimized.

"Okay, we'll see you later at Mission Point." Yu Zilong nodded, and led the two soldiers behind him to turn away.

After watching Yu Zilong leave, Xiao Chengming looked up at the sky, and secretly thought in his heart, God is so fond of playing tricks on people, just now he was still a human being, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to be separated by yin and yang, and he was still riding on the head of everyone in this country just now, and he couldn't even save his surname in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes, there are some things that can not be changed if anyone wants to, just like them, the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army, who fought in the army, overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and established their own dynasty, which may be fate, since they were born, they decided the fate of their lives. The family was poor, from childhood to adulthood, and then the commander-in-chief Wang Lin came, not only opened a factory, but also formed an army, and the military salary was ridiculously high, yes, at least for them, it was a little outrageous. There were many things that I didn't even dare to think about before, but now? It's not a question of whether they want to or not, it's a matter of whether they are willing to do it.

There is no persecution, no exploitation, no power, the outside world has become so clear and peaceful in the blink of an eye, and there are many fewer obstructions between the people and the officials.

Such a country is the real country in my mind, when did the villagers eat well when the Manchus ruled? Wear the good? Ever used a good one? When was there anything delicious, delicious, and useful that wasn't given to those officials first? And they only know how to blindly increase taxes to exploit the people at the bottom. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was [***] from the inside out, what was the use of such a country to keep?

"Bring all four of our company's machine guns! By the way, please invite Reporter Jiang over! Xiao Chengming lowered his head, the emotion in his heart was just one of his own thoughts, of course, like this kind of popular idea, many soldiers and people of the Zhengnan Army have this idea in their hearts. But after thinking about it, what should be done still has to be done, and the grievances that should be settled still have to be settled.

The four fire dragons are in one style, which is twice as many as the other newly organized units, and even the mortars and other weapons are twice as much, and the reason why the new 11 th Army retains its establishment is to carry the big banner in the future, at least in the next few years. There were too many recruits recruited by the troops six months ago, and if all the troops were to be dispersed, then the combat effectiveness of the troops could not be guaranteed, and it would be very difficult for those recruits to overcome once they encountered any relatively hard battles.

This is also the reason why the New 11 th Army was scattered in the early stage of the offensive and scattered in various theaters to be the vanguard, first, to solve the tough battle, and second, to let those newly formed troops have a good look at how this battle was fought.

Of course, Wang Lin didn't expect to rely on only this one army to carry the banner, after all, a full army is only more than 56,000 people, although it seems to be a lot, but it is not enough to put it in the whole country, not to mention the defense around, just the northeast plus the Mongolian line They are busy enough. Therefore, although Wang Lin did not count on the New Eleventh Army to defend the entire territory, he also pinned all his hopes on the New Eleventh Army, the Zhengnan Army needed the New Eleventh Army to bring out a few strong troops who fought bravely, and Wang Lin also needed more strong troops.

Looking at a stiff fire dragon style, under the leadership of their 'relatives' quickly came to Xiao Chengming, Xiao Chengming had to be grateful to Wang Lin, if the troops were still equipped with a heavy Makqin heavy machine gun, the soldiers would be tired enough to march back and forth with it, with this fire dragon style, the effect would be much better, at least the troops did not have to carry such heavy weapons to the battlefield, but there were weapons comparable to it.

Xiao Chengming sorted out his thoughts, the big war is imminent, this will be a battle that will be recorded in history, no matter what they do today, right or wrong, it will be recorded in history, Xiao Chengming does not want to cause the entire Zhengnan Army to fall into passivity because of his own state problems. If you don't do anything, you don't do it, and if you want to do it, you must do it, and you don't leave any illusions.

About ten minutes later, a reporter from the China Times Jiang who was filming at the scene of the bloody crime hurriedly came to Xiao Chengming, and he couldn't even wipe away the beads of sweat on his face. He is a journalist, but he is also a son and daughter of China, when he entered Yanjing City with the follow-up troops, what he showed him was not a prosperous scene, nor was it popular, but a lifeless and resentful momentum.

The corpses of ordinary people lay on the streets, on the dining tables, on chairs, on thresholds, in homes, in courtyards. As long as he can think of it, there are almost countless corpses lying there in almost every place he knows, and he uses the rare black and white camera in his hand to record this amazing, terrifying, and unimaginable picture one by one, he wants to announce the evil deeds of the Boxers and Qing soldiers in Yanjing City one by one, so that the whole world knows their true faces, and he wants to cry out for the people who died unexpectedly, and seek justice for them.

"Company Commander Xiao, what are the troops going to do with these prisoners?" Reporter Jiang looked at Xiao Chengming angrily in his heart and asked.

"Since ancient times, debts have been repaid, and murder has been repaid. Before we even start, you can take a few pictures of them, and it's the only thing they have left in the world besides their gruesome history. You can't shoot during the period after we start until the end of the session, which involves confidential issues, you should know this! Xiao Chengming looked at the group of prisoners and reminded Reporter Jiang.

"Well, I know all these things, and I have memorized them before I came." Reporter Jiang replied softly, while taking out his camera, looking for a suitable position to take pictures of the faces of the captives. Due to various problems, such as technology, lighting, timing, and angle, Jiang reporters were unable to give them a personal portrait one by one, that is, a few group photos.

After five minutes, reporter Jiang took pictures of all the prisoners in the entire temporary prisoner control area, and they were recorded one by one, perhaps because of the hatred in the heart of reporter Jiang, or because he wanted the world to record the faces of each of them, and in five minutes, reporter Jiang took pictures of almost all the prisoners, and only a few unlucky ones were missed.

As Reporter Jiang slowly returned to his side, Xiao Chengming nodded secretly in his heart, it was finally coming, no matter what kind of image he could leave in history, this matter was something he had to do, even if he was scolded by later generations pointing to the coffin, he would do it until death.

"Fire!"
