Chapter 1875: 1875
The roar of the captain"s company commander made thousands of people at the same time look at him for three seconds . With a shout, the whole wharf was in chaos again . The speed of the survivors rushing into the boats was accelerated again . The boats that were full of people left first, and a vacancy suddenly appeared from the s.p.a.ce where the boats were parked .
But these ships didn"t expect to rescue the drowning people . They just scattered around in a daze . For a moment, there was no leader, just like the birds in the forest . When they saw this, Weng Liqi"s hair was almost up . He had been sticking to his heart all the time, holding a pure brightness in the end of the sewage, The survivors here are also the most dignified ordinary people in Shanghai . They don"t have to suffer from the trampling of their personality, kneel in front of others to beg for a little food, or even sacrifice their wives and daughters to be insulted . However, such a group of people who are guarded by the army, in order to escape first, even ignore others" lives, Seeing the floating corpses floating on the water surface, the company commander who maintained the order did not order to shoot, but roared in vain to maintain the order as much as possible .
"Prepare your weapons . . . "
Weng Li"s comrades in arms were staring at the scattered boats . The people on the boats were just rowing around aimlessly . Some were going downstream, some were going upstream, and others were preparing to enter other waterways . They fled in disorder . For suicides, there was no food, no settlement, and no soldiers guarding them, These people will definitely die of a moment of timidity and have no place to die . Even if Weng Li wants to stop them, he can"t stop them . They have only one boat . There are boats all over the water, and they can"t stop them . Weng Li yells and makes his comrades in arms surprised .
"Fire warning . If you don"t listen, shoot all of them . . . "
Weng Li clenched his teeth to squeeze out the murderous order, which made the soldiers who were preparing guns dull . The second lieutenant at the stern of the ship immediately questioned:
"They are all their own people, and they are all civilians . We are soldiers, but we are not executioners . . . "
The second lieutenant"s words made all the others stop . They are soldiers . Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty . On top of that, they also have a greater duty, which is to protect the safety of the people and provide security for the people, rather than killing them . Weng Li"s originally gloomy face became more ugly, One of the guns pulled at the soldiers nearby yelled:
"You open your eyes to me . There is no organization, no direction, or even no goal . Even if they run out, they can live long . The comrades in arms in the rear are fighting for time for them with their lives, but they are wasting their precious time, order . We need to restore order, Otherwise, those men will s.n.a.t.c.h away all the boats . What will your wife and children do? "
When Weng Li finished, all the others were silent . The first men who got on the boat were all strong men . They left here to find a way out . The upper cla.s.s didn"t know what was wrong . The dock area was in chaos . Seven or eight thousand people crowded here to fight for less than 100 wooden boats . No more than 1500 people could really get the boats to leave, The rest of them can"t leave even if the Army gives them more time . I"m afraid it will turn into a disaster when the time comes . No matter whether it"s the blocking army or the survivors stranded on the dock, they will not be spared .
"Those who run away wantonly will be killed to make them afraid and obey our orders . Our comrades in arms are fighting hard and they are cutting off the retreat of our soldiers . Are our comrades in arms wasting their time in exchange for their lives? In the past, we did too much to make them take it for granted . In the future, we have to let them understand that the world has changed . No one owes them . . . "
What Weng Li said shakes the hearts of the soldiers . They have been taking care of the survivors as much as possible under the orders of the high level . Even if they encounter some unfair treatment, they also wronged themselves in the name of taking the overall situation into consideration . As time goes by, they are also used to this kind of unconditional payment, just like now, even if the company commander says cruel words, But he still did not dare to really order to shoot, even so, the following survivors or for their own selfishness and regardless of the safety of other people"s lives, the protected survivors just want to save themselves, for this group of people to die is really not worth it . .
"It"s time for them to understand . . . "
The soldier sitting next to Weng Li suddenly yelled, raised his gun and shot at a hasty boat in the distance . There were only eight people in the boat that could have taken 15 people . The eight strong men, looking at the chaotic wharf with lingering fear, rowed hard to let the boat go in the direction of Taihu lake . The sound of guns was loud and the meteor shower tore the air, Through the clear water, they can even see bullet after bullet pulling out white marks to get under the boat .
"Calm down, if you kill someone, the higher authorities will blame you . "
The second lieutenant is still the last slave . Weng Li roars:"Would you blame it if you resisted in the front and the people behind cut you off? We are the main rescue force . "
All of them made up their minds to raise their guns and look for their targets . The ship that had been warned before was not afraid . They yelled at Weng Li and rowed their oars harder to make the speed of the ship rise sharply . The warning soldiers hesitated and turned to look at Weng Li . Weng Li didn"t speak . Lifting his gun was a shuttle of bullets, But he is not good at guns, scattered bullets in the spread of more water, but let the ship of those guys more hard to coax .
"Da . . . Da . . . Da . . . "
Five shots were fired in succession . Five of the eight people on the ship were lifted off their skulls by bullets . The remaining three people jumped into the cabin and did not dare to move any more . It was the second lieutenant who fired . The second lieutenant, who had no blood on his face, nodded heavily to Weng Li and gave a loud order
"Don"t let these cowards take the boat, The brothers are still waiting for us . "
In the words, other soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and the sound of intensive gunfire reverberated on the river, causing countless blood splashes on the boats fleeing everywhere . The commander of these soldiers was the second lieutenant . With his orders, others would no longer resist . Although shooting civilians made them feel entangled, thinking of more helpless women and children on the dock and their comrades in arms fighting the enemy desperately on the front line, They are still willing to wash the boats .
The clear river was dyed red with blood, and the bodies that had been shot floated down the river and rolled down the river . On the boats, the rest of the men were splashed with blood on their faces, and their frightened eyes looked at Weng Li coming down the river . In the loud yelling, these men who thought they had escaped were pointed at by the muzzle of the gun smoke, With trembling hands, he rowed the paddle to the silent dock area .
All the boats returned to their original positions . The men who escaped from the gunpoint were driven to the dock, kneeling by the water and waiting for the verdict . Weng Li and his party immediately went ash.o.r.e . Just as they got ash.o.r.e, dozens of soldiers surrounded them, and all the guns were aimed at them . In the astonishment of Weng Li and others, The red faced captain of the company came to salute them seriously
"As an individual, I thank you for all you have done, but as a soldier, I hope you can hand over your weapons and wait for the punishment . . . "< br>
