He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Leyou turned around and shouted to the guards and the soldiers of the First Battalion:

"You all return to camp."

After saying this, he followed General Wang toward the command post. Meanwhile, the other battalion and regimental commanders blocked the domestic and foreign journalists.

Do you even know what you're doing?

"You could have been a rising star in our party, with a bright future, but now it's all ruined."

"Even if you want to kill them, why not wait until those domestic and foreign journalists have left?"

General Wang slammed his hand on the table in anger.

Leyou straightened his back, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face, and shouted loudly:

"I just hate them."

"My parents and relatives all died at their hands. I survived 42 years of being shot."

"From fighting the Japanese in various parts of Guangdong and Guangxi, to participating in the expedition in Yunnan and Guangxi, rushing between Guangdong and Guangxi, risking his life in Jiangxi and Jiangsu, and now fighting in Hunan and Hubei."

"Sir, too many civilians and soldiers have died at their hands. They killed everyone, looted everyone, burned everything, and humiliated women. They didn't treat people like human beings, especially that water supply unit. They used people for experiments and conducted bacteriological research."

"The suicide notes in our unit almost fill ten large boxes, sir."

After hearing this, General Wang plopped down in a chair, took out a cigarette, and started smoking. Neither of them spoke.

Meanwhile, the numerous officers outside the house continued to make noise.

"Leyou did the right thing; why keep them around?"

“After all, you’ve surrendered, you can’t just…”

"Don't talk to me about this. Go talk to the fallen soldiers and the massacred civilians."

"That was not what I meant"

"Stop talking. This is definitely going to be written up in the newspapers, especially by American journalists."

"Everyone, think of a solution quickly!"

A regimental commander slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted:

"Gentlemen, only we know about this right now. Why don't we spread the word before the journalists, especially General Sun and General Qiu?"

"I know some things about what happened at Leyou, so I think everything should be fine."

Those around them also sighed upon hearing this.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

As a result, many regimental commanders returned to their camps and began sending telegrams to their skilled colleagues, requesting that they write a letter to plead for leniency.

The "Happy Tour Killing the Manchus" incident began to spread widely after being reported by the Central Daily News. Journalists in other provinces also rushed to publish their reports, causing a sensation among the people of the country.

Extra!

"18-year-old Independent Regiment Commander Slaughters Hundreds of Prisoners"

"The Fall or the Rise of a New Star in the Party-State?"

"Recipient of the Order of the Treasury, disregarding the Geneva Conventions"

"A chivalrous knight travels freely, seeking revenge for his country's humiliation and avenging his blood feud."

……

Many commanders and generals fell silent as they looked at the newspapers on their desks.

Some government officials clapped and cheered after reading the newspaper.

Because he had been in constant contact with high-ranking generals, he fell before he could even begin to retaliate against Qiancheng. Truly a great pleasure in life.

Meanwhile, Commander Zeng in Guangdong and other People's Party officers in other places looked worried as they read the newspaper.

"bump"

"Well, back in Teng Cong I thought he was a brute, but now it seems he's just like me."

"Send a telegram to General Wang, saying that Leyou is my younger brother and I want to protect him."

"Get me on the phone with Commander He."

The communications officer next to him quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Qiu Yu'an. Boss, are you busy?"

"What's up"

"That Leyou is my younger brother, boss, please let him off the hook. These days, there are very few people as loyal and dedicated as him."

"I don't need you to say any of this. Mind your own business. You're a madman. Everyone you associate with is a madman. Several people have already called. I'll make the arrangements, but the final decision rests with the higher-ups."

"I heard he had some disagreements with some people. If the boss can't resolve it, tell me, and I'll wipe them out."

"What did you say!"

"I say that your insight is profound, and I admire your wisdom."

"Humph"

When General Qiu heard the dial tone, he burst into laughter.

"Good riddance! Many people don't know what I went through in Nanjing, no one understands the pain in my heart."

Meanwhile, Commander Song, far away in Xinjiang, kept sending telegrams and roaring at his communications officer.

Others, such as Commander Wei, General Sun, and Commanders Hu and Shi, also sent telegrams pleading for leniency.

……

"Master, something terrible has happened! My brother is in trouble!"

Jingxian rushed into the yard in a panic and shouted loudly.

The master sat on a rock, chatting with the old men next to him. There was a newspaper at his feet, which described the Battle of Western Hunan, and a photo of Leyou smiling with two medals on his wrist.

Hearing Jingxian's panicked voice, he hurriedly pulled the submachine gun off his back, stood up, and shouted:

"What's going on? Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Meanwhile, the elderly people on the side were also holding rifles and standing guard.

"My lord, look! The prince shot and killed over a hundred prisoners of war in the military camp, and now he's been imprisoned."

Jingxian pointed excitedly at the newspaper in her hand and said.

Upon hearing this, the master took the newspaper, read it, stroked his beard, and said:

"It's alright. He's the commander of an independent regiment, and he's already a colonel."

The worst outcome would have been a court-martial, but that didn't happen; he was simply imprisoned.

Don't worry. Let's see the results in the next few days. Then I'll think of something else.

……

蓉城

"I don't understand, what's going on?"

"After the incident, so many people came to plead for leniency."

"Why not wait until no one is around before you kill them?"

"Brother, the soldiers wish they could eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Japanese."

"Young people are always impulsive and reckless, but how much blood and tears have we shed in Nanjing, at Yuhuatai, and at the Battle of Shanghai?"

"Leyou is a formidable warrior, brave and skilled in battle, fearless of death. He is widely regarded as a chivalrous hero. Most importantly, he is the 20th class of students in Rongcheng, but he has not yet enrolled due to his constant battles."

After a moment of silence in the empty room,

"Pass on my orders"

"Order Leyou to come to Chengdu to enroll in school immediately. His independent regiment will be under the command of General Wang."

A separate statement was issued, clarifying that the unit was not at fault; it was merely an accidental discharge of firearms that accidentally struck a prisoner of war.

"Brother, I've checked his forces. He has tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and many more. Especially after this incident, the soldiers are all loyal to him. This combination makes him a very powerful fighting force."

"Then transfer the troops to the vicinity of Chengdu. You'll be in charge for now. He's already a colonel and hasn't joined the Party yet. Let him join first when he arrives. I'll go see for myself then. Lao Bai, you go."

"it is good"

He quickly walked outside.

A moment later, they arrived at a room and had the soldiers inside send out several telegrams, each reading "All is well, safe."

Finally, the order that had just been received was given to Commander He, then to Commander Chen of the war zone, and finally placed on General Wang's desk.

Upon receiving the telegram, General Wang also ordered all officers of regimental commander rank and above to assemble.

They also sent someone to bring over Leyou, who had been detained for several days.

"Gentlemen, orders have been issued from above."

"The Independent Regiment went to the Chengdu Military Academy, while the troops were temporarily handed over to General Bai outside the city."

General Wang looked at the officers present and said in a heavy tone:

"Furthermore, although everyone here has pleaded for Leyou,

Leyou is here too. There are some things I didn't say beforehand, to avoid any future disagreements.

According to orders, all of the regiment's tanks, infantry guns, mortars, infantry guns, heavy machine guns, etc., left with the regiment.

As soon as General Wang finished speaking, Le You looked at everyone in surprise. He had asked Pan Gui and the others to inquire about the days he had been imprisoned. The worst outcome would be a military court or, in severe cases, execution on the spot.

Congratulations echoed continuously throughout the room.
