Chapter Seventy-Four: Execution

In Tongling City, a group of handcuffed and shackled prisoners boarded a prison van under the strict guard of a group of armed soldiers.

Feng Yongxin looked desperate, as soon as he returned to Tongling City and was directly sent to the detention center, he knew that everything was over, the punishment of deserters in Huaxia Kingdom has always been harsh since ancient times, not to mention that now when the army of dreaded armor beasts is pressing, they are afraid that they will become chickens used to set an example to monkeys.

The comrades-in-arms beside him were interrogated one by one, and they were quickly brought back, and no one spoke, but from the resentful eyes that floated from time to time, it could be seen that their situation was probably not good.

From the beginning to the end, it seems that all the people have forgotten about him, no one has come to investigate, no one has come to interrogate, and perhaps they feel that his words have no credibility in the slightest.

Feng Yongxin thought about it carefully, only to find that he seemed to have been used by Zhao Guangming that day, if it weren't for this kid's words and encouragement, he would never have been able to escape, everything was done by this kid, but now it's too late to regret it, what awaits him will be the severe punishment of military law, his whole life is completely ruined, and he cursed Zhao Guangming thousands of times in his heart, but what's the use, you can't blame others for being fine, you can only blame yourself for being stupid.

But soon, his thoughts came true, that night, Zhao Guangming, who was tied up with five flowers, was escorted in, under Zhang Jingtao's special instructions, no one wanted to bear the anger of the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Theater, Zhao Guangming's usual relationship is now useless, and no one dared to ask for the materials he took away, knowing that at this time Zhao Guangming also understood that his little cleverness finally killed himself.

It has been a whole day since they fled back from the front line, everyone is rice and water without touching their teeth, and the continuous running and extreme hunger and thirst have also exhausted their physical strength, no one wants to beat them out of anger, and of course no one unties Zhao Guangming's rope.

The first meal was eaten the next morning, the rice was very good, the snow-white steamed buns with vegetable soup, the amount was full, and there were even sporadic shredded meat in the vegetable soup, which was almost unimaginable in the current Northwest Theater.

No one has an appetite, not even in the face of these tempting foods, and the expressions on the faces of the soldiers who deliver them may have said it all.

So the emotions that had been suppressed since yesterday completely exploded, some of them beat their chests, some of them were hysterical, and some of them were secretly convulsive, but all emotions changed their ending.

Whether they eat or not, the approval they will face is inescapable, and soon a team of fighters will come. After putting them in handcuffs and leg irons, they were pressed into the car one by one.

Watching the car drive in the direction of Weizhou City. The people who still had a fluke mentality before were also completely desperate, and they still had a bit of local feelings in Tongling City, maybe if they were given a life, it would definitely be a dead end to be sent to Weizhou City.

The journey was very smooth, and there were no accidents, so the vehicle drove very fast, and it didn't take long to see Weizhou City.

They were sent to the largest square in Weizhou City, surrounded by a sea of people, and they were neatly lined up in the center of the square to be judged by the people, and a deafening sound came from the loudspeaker behind them, counting their crimes.

Then they were escorted to a corner of the square. Soon a platoon of fighters stepped forward and raised their guns at them.

The last vestiges of illusion in their minds were shattered, and they knew they would be punished severely, but they thought that at best they would be serving hard labor, or being sent to the front lines of the battle, and their lives would be consumed in the battle against the dinosaurs.

Luo Jiatong is only nineteen years old this year, he joined the army as soon as he came out of school, he has no children, no daughter-in-law, and he has not even tasted the taste of a woman.

When he fled, Luo Jiatong didn't act as a hero, he didn't know that this was an escape, it was a betrayal, when others were fighting, they ran away, but he didn't have the slightest sense of shame, he obeyed orders in everything, what others did, he did what he did, and it wasn't his turn to do something.

But that's what he thought, and his interrogators didn't think so, they didn't even have the heart to listen to him, and after confirming that he had no new information to offer, they just let people take him away.

From time to time, there are fighters who collapse to the ground in front of and behind them, and some fighters even have a burst of stench coming from their bodies.

What is amazing is that Luo Jiatong, who has always behaved inconspicuously, behaved unusually calmly, he stood there quietly and watched, watching his comrades-in-arms around him being escorted forward by rows and rows, and then executed by rows and rows.

Most of these execution soldiers were selected from the front line, all of them crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, all of them were ruthless, whether they were humans or dreaded armor beasts, they had seen countless corpses, and they would definitely not be soft on them in the slightest.

The execution was very fast, two shots per person, and the soldiers were immediately dragged by the soldiers next to them, and soon there was a large pile of corpses.

Soon it was Luo Jiatong's turn, as one of the few people who could still move freely, he was obviously treated with some kind of preferential treatment, he was not escorted forward, but was led to a certain place to stand, and his heart was still surprisingly calm in the face of the soldiers who were about to shoot him.

I don't know if it's his delusion, but the warrior on the other side seems to look at him twice, and then fiddle with the gun in his hand and still aim at him.

"Bang!" The gunshots of the side-by-side executions were uniform, like a single sound, Luo Jiatong immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then fell heavily to the ground, and then lost consciousness.

In a trance, he seemed to hear someone talking; "Is that him?" "That's right!" "Take him away!" "Okay."

……

Weizhou City. Zhang Xiaofan's office

Zhang Xiaofan sat on a wide recliner with a leisurely and happy appearance, he could understand that the Northwest Theater was purely muddy and could not support the wall, and until now only a few small forces were still sent to wander around the vicinity of Tongling City, hoping that they would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to defeat the Armored Beasts.

Yuan Hua looked at Zhang Xiaofan and could be said to be very angry, the officers who came with him were all driven away, and what was even more annoying was that he was still so cheeky to stay here, not for being embarrassed, just to transmit information to Zhang Xiaofan. For him, every minute of his time here made him feel a burning pain in his face.

Yuan Hua suppressed the anger in his heart and said; I wonder what Commander Zhang's opinion on the Northwest Theater's handling of this group of deserters?

ZHANG Xiaofan Dao; "I am personally quite satisfied that the Northwest Theater can handle this matter so quickly, after all, the big war is imminent, and we have to make an example of the monkeys and cut off some people's unrealistic illusions."

Yuan Huadao; "Since Commander Zhang is still more satisfied, let's get back to business and talk about the issue of the dreadmill."

ZHANG Xiaofan Dao; "No problem, please ask Commander Yuan to inform me of the latest developments of the Dire Armor Beast!"

Yuan Hua pulled out a stack of photos from the folder on his body and said; "This is the latest intelligence obtained by the Northwest Theater of Operations, judging from the intelligence fed back by the drone and some satellite photos from Yanjing City, the forward troops of the dinosaurs have entered the territory of the Northwest Theater, and there are signs of gathering together in some areas."

Zhang Xiaofan looked at the photos and said; "Okay, I understand, and I ask Deputy Military Commander Yuan to continue to provide the latest developments of the Dire Armor Beast, after all, this is a matter of life and death for us."

Yuan Huadao; "We have detected the general movement of the dinosaurs, is it possible to stop the eradication of the dinosaurs, you know, the number of dreads has increased greatly in the past few days, and the loss of our personnel and equipment is also very serious."

ZHANG Xiaofan Dao; "On the contrary, Deputy Commander Yuan, our ultimate goal this time is to beat the dinosaurs and make them feel painful, so as to give up their coveting of us, if we can't let them suffer heavy losses, we can only arouse their anger, and we have to deal with their more crazy attacks, but it is counterproductive, it is better not to do it."

Yuan Huadao; "I understand all this, but our losses are indeed a bit serious, I don't know if Commander Zhang can give us some support."

Zhang Xiaofan said solemnly; "Deputy Commander Yuan, I hope you understand that your number is several times or even dozens of times that of us, and it is already very unfair that you only bear the same tasks as us, and your realm has not even completed half of the clearing tasks, I hope you understand, if you still have a bad mentality and still want to preserve your strength, I guarantee that when the dreadnail beasts besiege the city, you will have to pay hundreds, thousands, or even the price of the entire army, and then it will not be as simple as heavy losses."

Yuan Huadao; "I understand, but we do have difficulties ......,"

Zhang Xiaofan interrupted; "Deputy Commander Yuan, you don't understand, you need to understand, we also have certain requirements for follow-up actions, if we can't meet the conditions we require, we will not carry out follow-up battles, when the time comes, we will return to Weizhou City, relying on the material reserves of Weizhou City, we are also confident that we can resist this attack of the dreadnacle beast, as for you, you can do it yourself!"

Yuan Hua was shocked; "You can't do this, you are ......"

Zhang Xiaofan still said; "Deputy Commander Yuan, you are also a soldier, this military vision should still be there, our requirements are very reasonable, to be honest, your series of performances have disappointed us very much, you can ask yourself, have you really done your best?"

Yuan Hua was speechless for a while, and now the infighting in the Northwest Theater is becoming increasingly fierce, and it has reached the point of tearing his face, in this case, it is tantamount to a fantasy to let them go all out.

Zhang Xiaofan finally said; "Deputy Army Commander Yuan, I will now officially inform you that from now on, the focus of our Weizhou City will once again shift to strengthening the key defense of Weizhou City, if we can't see obvious changes, it is better not to have too many expectations for the upcoming battle. Okay, don't disturb Deputy Commander Yuan's time, it's good to go, don't send it. After speaking, Zhang Xiaofan began to drink tea by himself.
