“Put down your guns and surrender immediately. Our troops will give priority to prisoners of war. If you refuse to surrender, you will be considered enemies and executed without mercy!”
Our party's policy is to unite all forces that can be united to fight against the little devils.
Although these former Northeast Army soldiers fled, they did not betray their country to become puppet dogs of the Japanese. They still have some conscience.
So Su Yang did not intend to exterminate them.
As long as they were not unforgivable criminals and could be reformed, Su Yang was willing to give them a chance.
When Gou Sheng and Li San led their men to attack the mountain, the outcome was decided.
Some bandits escaped, some were killed, and the rest were captured by Su Yang and his men.
There were a total of over 50 people.
As dawn broke, the bandits finally saw the people who had captured them.
Was this a large force?
Although they were unwilling to accept their defeat, they were helpless.
They couldn't help but admire these people.
They actually dared to attack the stronghold with such a small number of people.
It was simply insane.
In the hall.
Since the leader, Hei Long, was captured, Su Yang and his men had intimidated many people, so the attack only encountered some minor obstacles, which were quickly dealt with by Gou Sheng and Li San's men.
Only a few people were injured in the attack on the Black Dragon Society, and they were all minor injuries that were not serious.
This shows that the beheading tactic was effective!
After listening to the report, Su Yang nodded in satisfaction: "Good!"
“Shui Sheng, you lead the first squad to stand guard. The second and third squads will clear out the enemy. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!”
“Yes!”
Su Yang then looked at the bound Hei Long and demanded: "Hei Long, you have been a menace for so long. Give me a reason not to kill you!”
“Think carefully before you answer. You only have one chance, so make it count.”
Hei Long's eyes flickered, and then he said, "I don't know what side you are on, sir."
Su Yang looked directly into Hei Long's eyes, his voice carrying a hint of pressure: "I heard that many of you in the Black Dragon Society were once members of the Northeast Army. You have disgraced the Northeast Army!"
“Is this the Northeast Army?”
“In consideration of your past fight against the Japanese and the fact that you did not become a traitor after your defeat, you better confess everything honestly."
"Our Eighth Route Army is willing to give those who want to redeem themselves a chance."
Hei Long was startled.
He didn't expect that his previous identity was known. This made him feel that the Eighth Route Army had been watching him for a long time.
Looking at Su Yang, Hei Long stood his ground for once, angrily retorted, "Sir, you can criticize me, but you can't insult the Northeast Army!"
“Where were you when our Northeast Army was fighting the Japanese?”
“Although we fled, we didn't cower!”
“Now that we are in your hands, kill us or flay us, as you please!”
Hearing this, the others responded in unison.
Hei Long's and his men's courage actually pleased Su Yang, who sneered, "I didn't expect that even after becoming bandits for so long, you still have some blood in your veins!”
“Why didn't you dare to fight the Japanese but instead targeted your own people? Did you use your soldier’s blood to fight against the common people?”
“Some of these common people might be relatives of your former Northeast Army. Maybe they are family members who are fighting bravely on the frontlines.”
“You dare to call yourself a soldier of the Northeast Army!”
“Are you worthy of being a soldier?”
Su Yang's rebuttal made many of them lower their heads.
“Since you have such blood, then I'll fulfill your wish!” He said as he loaded a bullet into the chamber and pointed it at Hei Long's forehead.
“Do you have any last words?”
Hei Long and his men suddenly wilted like frost-bitten eggplant, their eyes flashing with the youthful spirit they had when they first joined the army, thinking of their initial aspirations... and so on.
Hei Long sighed.
“Alas~”
“You are right. In this chaotic world, I am no longer worthy of being a soldier.”
“Your Eighth Route Army has no equal in fighting the Japanese. I admire your courage to fight the Japanese with such equipment.”
“Before I die, I might as well contribute my last bit of effort for the war against Japan.”
“Two kilometers away on the back mountain, there is a military workshop built with the equipment of the former Supply Corps. I will give it to you.”
“When the day comes that you drive out the Japanese, please let me know, then I will die without regrets.”
Then he closed his eyes.
Su Yang looked at Hei Long, who seemed to be ready to die, and said, "I will remember. Rest in peace.”
“Bang!”
As the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Hei Long could not be spared if they wanted to win the hearts of the remaining members. This was not conducive to recruiting the remaining members.
Su Yang's decisive execution made all the bandits tremble.
They looked at Su Yang with more awe.
Su Yang surveyed the crowd and said in a loud voice, "I'm giving you a chance because you still have some conscience, and the blood of a soldier has not completely left you."
“Pick up your weapons and fight alongside me to defeat the Japanese and restore the glory of the Northeast Army!"
“One day, I will take you back to our homeland in the Northeast.”
“If you still think you are soldiers!”
Hearing Su Yang's bold words, the blood in many of their bodies was ignited.
Following the first person's response, others, hearing this, also responded.
“We'll fight the Japanese!”
“Thank you, sir, for giving us this opportunity.”
“I'll join you!”
“The Eighth Route Army dares to fight the Japanese with this equipment, what else do we have to fear!”
“Fight the Japanese!”
“I'm willing to fight the Japanese with you, sir!”
“I'm willing too~”
“I'll join!”
“......”
Su Yang looked at the crowd with satisfaction, and said, “Good. I’ll take your word for it!”
“Now, line up and register.”
Then he turned to Shui Sheng and said, "Record their information and the families they have wronged.”
“Remember, register them separately.”
“Yes!”
Just as Shui Sheng was arranging for people to register the information of the bandits.
Yang Zhihua came over, looking excited as he reported to Su Yang: “Captain, the spoils of war have been tallied.”
