Chapter 710 Repentance and Return from the Wrong Path

People are quite curious because they've heard that this execution is different from usual.

Then it gradually quieted down.

As the officer from the Special Service's mountain city station on the high platform explained the situation, the onlookers from the mountain city gradually came to understand.

It turns out that the officers in charge of executing those Japanese spies and traitors today were not the ordinary soldiers they used to be.

I don't know who came up with this crazy idea, but the girls from Yamashiro Girls' High School who were just arrested yesterday were actually in charge of the execution.

According to the Secret Service officer, most of these female students were innocent.

They were simply deceived by Japanese spies. The fact that this mistake would condemn them to lifelong infamy and ruin their futures was something the intelligence officers didn't want to see.

So the head of the secret service came up with a good idea.

We are prepared to give them a chance to realize their mistakes and turn back from their wrong path.

If they are willing to confess their crimes and wrongdoings in front of the entire city today, and if their mistakes are not too serious, and if they are willing to take up arms and personally expose a Japanese spy or a traitor, then the Special Service Station in Yamashiro will give them a chance to reform.

They will be released on the spot.

At the same time, the Special Service Station in Shancheng also hoped that the people of Shancheng would stop dwelling on the past and continue to make things difficult for them, and stop gossiping behind their backs.

It could give them a way to survive. After all, they're just children.

At such a tender age, they cannot fully comprehend the dangers of the world; we cannot condemn them outright.

After hearing the account from the officer of the Special Service Station in Shancheng, the onlookers fell silent for a moment.

They then began to talk to each other.

After a while.

Finally, someone stepped forward and shouted that they were willing to forgive the female students who had made mistakes if they were willing to repent and personally execute the Japanese spy and the traitors who had surrendered to the enemy.

They will no longer blame them, nor will they gossip behind their backs.

These shouts naturally reached the ears of the arrested female students.

They were stunned at first. Then came an indescribable ecstasy.

They are still young, and of course they don't want to bear the stigma and never be able to hold their heads high for the rest of their lives at such a young age.

Now that the commander of the Special Service's Shancheng Station is willing to give them a way out, they certainly won't let it go.

Immediately from the crowd, one of the arrested female students stepped forward and offered to cooperate with the operation.

With someone taking the lead, the rest is simple.

Soon, most of the arrested female students had already made statements, but the remaining dozen or so did not rush to respond.

It's not that they're unwilling.

These female students, most of whom were teenagers, were still somewhat afraid when suddenly asked to shoot and kill.

Of course. This also includes several traitors who did indeed collude with Ouyang Hui and had betrayed national interests.

They were terrified when they heard about the outcome.

They simply dare not make a statement.

Even among those who have just made their statements, there must be some who are secretly colluding with Ouyang Hui.

However, Ye Shaohong didn't care.

What he is doing today is a perfectly legitimate and aboveboard scheme.

He not only wanted to make the arrested students confess their mistakes in front of the entire mountain town, but also wanted them to report on each other.

Without any vested interests at stake, facing a desperate situation, and with a crowd watching, the arrested female students are unlikely to make any indiscriminate accusations.

This is the only way to complete the interrogation of these arrested female students in the shortest time and most efficiently. There was really no other way.

The number of female students arrested this time was too large, most of whom came from poor families. It is understandable that they made a mistake.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong did not torture them when they were at the Special Service Station in Shancheng.

I don't want to now.

However, the information they possessed was of great importance, and Ye Shaohong needed to know it in order to find Ouyang Hui's whereabouts.

That's how this seemingly ineffective solution came about.

It might seem a bit ridiculous.

Some of it is childish.

However, it must be acknowledged that this method has become the only option without harming the female students.

Time waits for no one.

The outcome was quite good. With the makeshift interrogation room specially set up by Ye Shaohong and the female soldiers he had specially selected from several departments, the female students who had gone astray, with the hope of survival, finally cast aside their reservations and completely opened their hearts.

He told everything.

It was precisely because of their complete lack of disclosure that those traitors who were hiding among the arrested students and who were indeed in cahoots with Ouyang Hui were gradually uncovered.

There are quite a few people.

There were actually more than a dozen of them; they were all identified by their companions.

unambiguous evidence.

The things they did and the things they said have witnesses and verifiable dates.

However, among these dozen or so people, there were seven or eight who, although they had indeed betrayed their country, did so out of ignorance, were deceived by Ouyang Hui, or had committed less serious crimes.

After careful consideration, Ye Shaohong finally decided to let them go.

Of course, it only gave them a way to survive.

They will still have to pay the price for this.

The price they paid was to serve their country in the military. Ye Shaohong did not specify their destination, nor did he intend to pull them into the ranks of spies.

Ye Shaohong simply let them make a choice. Whatever they choose to do, they just need to use their future to make up for their mistakes.

These female students, whose sins were not serious, agreed after consideration.

Aside from those seven or eight people, the remaining four or five were the ones most closely colluding with Ouyang Hui among those arrested female students.

Despite their young age and their frank confession, the harm they caused to the country and the nation is unforgivable.

Ye Shaohong showed no mercy to the woman.

He made a decision on the spot, directly sending these female students who had deep ties with Ouyang Hui, or rather, traitors and sellouts, to the execution site.

He knelt down beside the Japanese spy.

He knelt before the people of the mountain town.

"Let's get started!"

“Come one by one. If you shoot and kill these Japanese devils and traitors today, you will be free!”

"No one will criticize your mistakes in the future."

"This is your last chance, seize it, don't miss it! Kill!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the logistics staff of the Special Service Department's Shancheng Station on the high platform, scattered gunshots, mixed with the cries of the female students, slowly resounded.

At first, the onlookers in the mountain town remained silent.

Because the executioners of the Japanese devils today were special; they were all girls, and all of them were girls who had made mistakes.

So they couldn't quite articulate their own feelings, whether they should criticize or applaud.

Or rather, forgive them.

But gradually, as more and more Japanese soldiers were executed, and as the female students who had made mistakes paid the price for their mistakes, the kind and simple people of the mountain town finally let go of their grudges.

"Kill! Well done!"

“Children, don’t be afraid, and don’t think you’ve done something wrong and that you’ll have no way to survive. You killed the Japanese devils with your own hands today, so no one can scold you anymore.”

"Yes, kill them! Fire more shots! Only by killing them can you wash away the stain on your bodies and become the good daughters of my mountain city!"

"Daughter, fire the gun! Be brave and kill the Japanese devils, then I'll let you go home!"

Encouraged by the crowd of onlookers in the mountain town, the female students who were to carry out the executions that day gradually calmed down from their initial fear, panic, and tears.

They gradually became stronger.

They were no longer flustered or afraid. In front of the onlookers, their hands stopped trembling and they stopped crying. They began to diligently complete their tasks.

And the future is also magical.

After this public execution, almost all of the female students who were arrested and brought to justice by Ye Shaohong today voluntarily dropped out of school after returning home.

They threw themselves into the anti-Japanese resistance and salvation movement.

Some of them went on to become renowned doctors, both domestically and internationally, dedicating their lives to the nation and its people. Others joined the military, voluntarily going to the front lines to fight the Japanese invaders to the death.

Some even joined the Special Service Department, which later became the Military Intelligence Bureau. A few of them went on to infiltrate enemy camps, using their lives and beliefs to atone for the mistakes they made in their youth.

Some of them were betrayed and arrested, but they never showed weakness again, and never disappointed their hometown folks until their deaths.

Some of them lived until the end of the War of Resistance against Japan. When they recalled the past, they all said the same thing.

It was Yama, the seventh brother, who gave them a chance to live and a chance to make amends for their mistakes and give everything for the country and the nation.

All of this was something Ye Shaohong hadn't expected.

If he could foresee the future and know what would happen afterward, he would probably be very happy.

It's truly a case of an unintentional act yielding unexpected results. So, what is Ye Shaohong doing now?

He had already quietly left the execution site with Chi Tiecheng and Yu Manli. They walked out of the crowd and found a roadside phone booth.

Ye Shaohong made the call immediately.

He gave an address.

The agents, who had already assembled at the Special Service Station in the mountains and had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped into the vehicles and began the arrest operation!
