Under the leaden sky, military flags were flying, and more than a thousand soldiers and civilians standing on the drying field in Zhangjiaji stood silently.
The wooden stick in the hand of the executioner's guerrilla brother was already stained with blood, and it rose and fell mechanically as the brother next to him reported the count.
After being beaten hard by the officers, the members of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Brigade's buttocks were already bruised and bruised. At the beginning, they screamed heart-rendingly, but in the end, only feeble grunts were left.
In full view of thousands of people in Zhangjiaji, Yang Ling did not shield any favoritism and severely punished these members of the anti-Japanese and national salvation brigade who were running rampant in the countryside.
"Major Hu Biao, deputy captain of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Brigade, as an officer, was not strict with his subordinates and allowed his subordinates to do evil..."
The half-dead members of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Brigade were dragged down by their brothers, and Yang Ling turned his attention to Hu Biao.
Hu Biao's eyelids jumped when he saw Yang Ling turning his attention to him. When he heard that Yang Ling didn't even let him go, he was immediately furious.
He is a dignified major and deputy captain. If he is beaten with a military stick in broad daylight, how can he survive in the future?
He wanted to open his mouth to curse Yang Ling for being ignorant, but facing Yang Ling's sharp eyes like a knife, he had to swallow the words that came to his lips.
Seeing the brothers who were shot and those who were beaten to pieces, he realized that going against someone like Yang Ling who dared to be cruel would not end well.
"Mr. Yang, Chief Yang, I know I was wrong, so please be generous and spare me this time."
As the saying goes, a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. Now Hu Biao had to humbly apologize to Yang Ling, but his heart was full of hatred.
Yang Ling naturally noticed the flash of resentment in Hu Biao's eyes, but it was too late to beg for mercy now.
"Military law is like a mountain, how can it be a child's play." Yang Ling rejected Hu Biao's plea.
Seeing Yang Ling being so ruthless, Hu Biao cursed in his heart, but what could he do now.
"Sir Yang, we are also a team that fights Japanese Japs. I once killed two Japanese Japs. Even if I have no credit, I still have hard work. Please forgive me this time because I have beaten Japs before...
."
Now Hu Biao was really scared in his heart. Why did he bump into this evil star? He just wanted to escape from the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"He actually beat up a Japanese?"
"real or fake?"
"It doesn't look like he's telling lies. He's a hero when he fights Japanese enemies. It's inevitable to make mistakes. Why don't we just let him go this time."
...
Hearing that Hu Biao had once killed two little Japs with his own hands, the people gathered around were buzzing with excitement. Some showed expressions of pity, while others stood aside and said nothing to see how Yang Ling would deal with it.
Yang Ling frowned when he saw that the common people were moved by Hu Biao's words.
Yang Ling snorted coldly and said: "As a soldier, it is our duty to kill the enemy and serve the country, how can it become a sign of arrogance?!"
"The little devils are burning, killing, looting, and killing our fellow villagers on our Chinese land. They are worse than beasts!" Yang Ling said loudly with indignation.
"I don't care what you did before, but you are now officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Brigade and members of the Chinese Communist Party. Now you are running rampant in the countryside and killing the people. How are you different from the little devils?!"
"Today I, Yang Ling, am here to enforce military law on behalf of your captain. I just want to tell you that the little devils are harming our Chinese people and we must destroy them! If one of us harms our own people, we will never be lenient! I don't care about you.
Whether you are a hero who fights Japanese invaders or a coward, I only have one choice: Those who harm the common people will be severely punished by military law!"
Yang Ling's words were so penetrating and inspiring that the people in Zhangjiaji were all excited and applauded one after another.
Hu Biao's face was ashen. Yang Ling had said all the things to this extent, and it seemed that he was going to be doomed.
"Young man named Yang, I admit defeat today, but remember, we are not done with this matter! I, Hu Biao, must get it back!" Hu Biao's eyes were suddenly full of anger, and he threatened Yang Ling fiercely.
.
"Threaten the commander and add ten military sticks!"
Yang Ling waved his hand coldly, and two guerrilla brothers lifted the struggling Hu Biao onto the platform. The officer, stained with minced meat and blood, swung hard at his buttocks.
Hu Biao was also guilty of his own misfortune. He dared to threaten Yang Ling. The guerrilla brothers who executed him also hit him extremely hard, beating him until he screamed in agony.
And this is not over yet. As the saying goes, one thing is another thing. When they were water bandits, they did many evil things and committed many murders.
Now that some people have come forward to identify him, Yang Ling has simply made a guest appearance as Bao Qingtian. Anyone who is confirmed will be shot on the spot.
What a pity for those members of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Brigade, who were beaten half to death with a military stick before they could recover, they were pulled over and shot to death.
Yang Ling's decisive killing made the people of Zhangjiaji enthusiastically support him. The members of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Brigade who were not identified by the people said they were lucky.
Hu Biao took forty-five people and fled to Zhangjiaji at night. He wanted to make a lot of money, but he unexpectedly ran into the evil star Yang Ling.
Now they were trying to steal the chicken but lose the rice. Half of the more than 40 people who came to Zhangjiaji were shot directly, and the other half were beaten to death with military sticks.
Hu Biao was very lucky. No people came out to accuse him of murder. It was not easy for Yang Ling to shoot him in public. After all, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Brigade was considered a friendly force and had to save some face for others.
"Go back and tell your captain to discipline your subordinates well. If something happens again that goes rampant in the countryside and harms the people, I will catch each one and shoot each one. I will do what I say!" Yang Ling finally warned them.
Hu Biao showed off his power at first, but now he could only lie there and groan in the face of the selfless Yang Ling.
"Beard, send someone to send them back."
"yes!"
Seeing that Hu Biao and others were half dead and unable to move, Yang Ling had to send people to send them back to the territory of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Brigade.
In front of the people of Zhangjiaji, Yang Ling severely punished the people of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Brigade and shot some of them, which immediately made the people who had been persecuted at home burst into tears of gratitude.
"Mr. Yang is a good man..." someone said and was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Yang Ling also hurriedly stepped forward to stop these people from kneeling: "Get up, everyone, get up quickly, what are you doing?"
These common people live in dire straits all year round. Not only do they have to be exploited by powerful squires, but they also encounter water bandits and looting from time to time. The arrival of the Japanese makes it even worse for them.
And now the arrival of the guerrillas led by Yang Ling has made them angry. How can they not be moved?
"Fellow fellow villagers, from now on, if anyone dares to bully you, you can come to our guerrillas, and our guerrillas will support you!"
Yang Ling also struck while the iron was hot and quickly launched their guerrilla banner, hoping to gain the support of the people.
"Of course, now that the country is in crisis and the Japanese invaders are raging, we, the Third Guerrilla Group, have been ordered to go to Qinghe Town to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. I also hope that in the future, you fellow villagers can support us in fighting the Japanese invaders."
"Sir Yang, if you need our help in fighting the Japanese in the future, just ask. As long as we can do it, we will not refuse." Qian Fuming spoke first.
"Yes, the affairs of the guerrillas will be our business from now on!" The common people also agreed one after another.
