Chapter 64: Doing Evil to the End

  "Damn it, let me tell you, I'd never join you guys in doing anything bad, forget about it!"

  Duan stood on the rostrum of the playground, his body shaking with rage. He raised his hand and pointed at Cao Yunqing, the leader of the opposing team, shouting loudly!

  He never thought things would turn out this way!

  Just now, Duan Ying had just finished inspecting the soldiers' dormitories and returned to the battalion headquarters when he suddenly received a message from Cao Yunqing, saying that there was an urgent matter to report to him, asking him to go to the playground.

  Duan Ying didn't think much and led the orderly directly to the drill ground.

  Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the playground, they found that apart from Cao Yunqing, there were four other platoon leaders. The five of them brought more than 30 soldiers and disarmed Duan Ying and the duty soldiers without saying a word, then put them under house arrest on the rostrum!

  While he was wondering about the intentions of these people, several company commanders under his command were also deceived to the playground and disarmed. Several Northeast Army officers who joined later were also disarmed together!

  These people were all gathered on the rostrum and then were taken care of by Cao Yunqing's men, losing their personal freedom!

  Then these people called the warriors from their dormitories and gathered them on the playground!

  When the warriors under Duan's command saw that their battalion commander was actually being held in soft detention, they suddenly exploded and were about to rush up to seize people. As a result, they were shot down by machine guns arranged by Cao Yunqing, and more than a dozen of them fell!

  Looking at the comrades who fell under the machine guns, and then looking at the four light machine guns and two heavy machine guns that were ready to go, Duan Ying hurriedly stopped the soldiers of the first battalion who were filled with righteous indignation, not letting them make unnecessary sacrifices!

  Witnessing the plight of the soldiers and seeing their military commander under the guns of Cao Yunqing and others, all the soldiers on the drill ground could only hold back their anger and did not dare to make any move!

  Cao Yunqing and the four squad leaders brought over a hundred men, who burst out from their surroundings at this moment, surrounding the soldiers in the middle, with their guns pointing directly at these comrades of the Northeastern Army!

  Cao Yunqing, having already taken control of the situation, couldn't help but feel triumphant. He walked up to Duan Ying with his hands behind his back and said with a forced smile, "Commander Duan, Ah Bu, or should I say Commander Duan, it's really sorry to have troubled you, there are some things that need your assistance, so I had no choice but to invite you here, please forgive me!"

  Duan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes scanned Cao Yunqing, then coldly laughed and said, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have fart, let it out. Don't come at me with this useless nonsense!"

  "Old Cao, don't waste your breath on him, just tell him what to do. If he doesn't comply, take him out and shoot him!" A nearby squad leader with his shirt open, revealing a large patch of black hair on his chest, said with a menacing tone, "I bet this little brat isn't afraid of death!"

  "Alright, Duan Ying, let's not beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point!" Cao Yunqing clapped his hands together and said, "We need your help with something!"

  "What's wrong?"

  Cao Yunqing leaned his face close to him, a big pancake-like face with acne all over it, staring at Duan Ying with beady eyes, "We want to help you catch Luo Xiang!"

  When Cao Yunqing said this, Duan Yingxian was stunned for a moment, and then let out a cold laugh. "Hmph! You're dreaming! Luo Xiang fought alongside us to defend Beida Camp, and shed blood fighting the Japanese devils. You think I'd harm him? That's purely a fantasy! If I did that, even in death, I wouldn't have the face to meet my ancestors!"

  Cao Yunqing's face sank, and he coldly said, "Duan Ying, we're not discussing with you, but giving orders. You must do as we say!"

  "You can dream on! At worst, I'll sacrifice myself for this!" Duan Ying's eyes were firm and resolute, her tone unshakeable!

  Cao Yunqing walked back and forth on the rostrum with his hands behind his back, before finally stopping, a sinister look on his face. "Duan Ying, I heard you just brought your wife and kids over this morning!"

  Upon hearing this, Duan Ying's face changed color. "Cao Yunqing, you have the nerve to come at me? What kind of ability is it for a woman and child to be difficult?"

  "I, Cao Yunqing, started being a bandit at the age of 14, what bad thing haven't I done!" Cao Yunqing's face was ferocious, he waved his hand towards the stage below, "Bring him up here!"

  In a burst of wailing, Duan Ying's wife and two children were pushed up, all trussed up. As soon as they saw Duan Ying, they cried out, "Master, quickly save the children!"

  Duan Ying's eyes widened in anger as he lunged at Cao Yunqing, but was immediately pinned down by two of Cao Yunqing's subordinates and couldn't move.

  Cao Yunqing slowly walked up to Duan Xueyan, the 17-year-old daughter of Duan Ying, grasped her chin with his hand, and despite her struggling, lifted her face up. He then leered at her, "Look at this little appearance, how handsome! If my brothers under me saw this, I wouldn't dare guarantee they won't do something!"

  "What a beautiful girl!" Those rascals cheered in unison with Cao Yunqing!

  With a "Ptooey" sound, Duan Xueyan spat a mouthful of saliva right onto Cao Yunqing's face!

  "You damned beast!" Duan Ying bellowed, using all his strength to struggle, but was struck hard on the back with a rifle butt and fell headlong to the ground!

  Several bandits beat him up, and Duan Ying's head was covered in blood, with blood also oozing from the corner of his mouth. However, he still stared defiantly at Cao Yunqing!

  Cao Yunqing was stared at by him, couldn't help but get angry and humiliated, waved his hand towards the stage, and shouted, "This chick is given to you all!"

  A group of bandits responded in unison, and then a few people came up and dragged Duan Xueyan towards the forest behind the stage.

  "Dad, save me!" Duan Xueyan let out a miserable cry all the way, and was finally dragged into the woods!

  Listening to the screams and wails coming from within the forest, Duan Ying felt his chest was about to explode, he gritted his teeth and let out a series of "keh keh" sounds!

  "It's still not too late to regret, Duan Ying!" Cao Yunqing tempted, trying to move Duan Ying.

  However, what answered him was a mouthful of bloody saliva!

  Enraged Cao Yunqing let out a loud roar, "Bring up the guillotine!"

  Four rebels carried a sickle for harvesting crops and placed it on the podium with a thud, then stood aside with their hands on their hips.

  Cao Yunqing walked up to the guillotine, grabbed the handle with one hand and lifted it upwards with a loud clang. The blade, which was more than two palms wide, reflected dazzling light in the firelight.

  "Duan Ying, look how sharp this blade is! I just don't know if it can cut off your son's head!" Cao Yunqing put down the blade and walked over to Duan Ying's seven-year-old son, Duan Peng. He patted his little face with a sinister grin, "I'm really curious, let me try!"

  "Cao Yunqing, you son of a bitch, are you still human? You won't even spare a few-year-old child! Even if I'm sent to the depths of hell, I'll never let you off!" Duan Ying cursed loudly, using all his strength to try and get up, but just as he managed to lift himself halfway, he was knocked back down to the ground by a rifle butt.

  Cao Yunqing saw that Duan Ying still disagreed and lost his patience. He roared at the four men under him, "Bring the little brat over, I'll chop off his head with my own hands today to get some satisfaction!"
