Chapter 270 Save Two Schoolgirls
"Take off their shackles!"
Zhao Zhiguo saw that the eight leading men in front were still wearing shackles and had scars left by torture instruments all over their bodies. He didn't know what crime they had committed and why they were treated so inhumanely in prison.
The leader raised his head, covered the sun with his hands, and looked at the blue sky. At this time, an eagle soared freely in the sky, circled in a circle, and then flew into the distance.
"Name!" the soldier in charge of registration yelled.
Only then did he come back to his senses and glanced at Zhao Zhiguo: "Zhu Hongsi!"
Another soldier looked through Zhu Hongsi's name on the roster, but couldn't find it after looking through it twice.
"Did you give the wrong name?" the soldier asked.
After hearing the soldier's question, Zhao Zhiguo also became confused and took the roster from the soldier's hand.
"The name was given by my parents, how could I forget it?"
"Write your name down!" the soldier demanded.
When Zhu Hongsi took over the pen, Zhao Zhiguo turned his attention to Zhu Hongsi, watching him write his name on the paper one by one, and the handwriting was very smooth and in one go. Zhao Zhiguo was a little envious of this skill.
Character.
"Captain, there is no such name on it, I have already read it." The soldier said softly.
Zhao Zhiguo returned his attention to the roster. It was true that Zhu Hongsi's name was not on it: "Why is there not your name on it?"
"I have no idea!"
"What crime have you committed?"
At this time, Zhu Hongsi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhiguo, with a smile on his lips: "Sir, are you here to find people to fight, or are you here to interrogate prisoners?"
"You have quite a temper! Just answer me honestly if I ask you anything." Yao Pengju scolded.
"Forget it, register other information!" Zhao Zhiguo thought it might be the staff's negligence that did not register his name.
After registering Zhu Hongsi's age and hometown address, a soldier took him aside to wait.
However, the names of the next seven people were not on the roster, which made Zhao Zhiguo even more confused. If the prison staff made mistakes before, he couldn't make eight mistakes, right?
Moreover, these eight people have the same characteristics. They all wear shackles and have been severely tortured. They must be carrying secrets that others do not know.
The rest of the people were very simple, committing murder and arson, abducting women and children, selling cigarettes and other heinous crimes. Zhao Zhiguo would not have known about so many crimes if he had not come to prison.
When he heard these charges, he was even more certain that Lu Zheng was not telling the truth, otherwise Lu Zheng would not have been imprisoned in this prison.
"Captain, we have all registered. There are eighty-two people in total. Except for the first eight who are not on the roster, everyone else is normal." The soldier handed the list to Zhao Zhiguo.
"We've all finished fighting. We formed four columns, from tallest to shortest, and stood in order!" Yao Pengju was urging the prisoners to stand in line.
"Sir, do you mean what you say?" a prisoner asked.
"After this battle is over, if you want to stay in the army, I can keep you. If you want to leave, I will definitely let you go. If I, Zhao Zhiguo, break my promise, you can shoot me with black guns on the battlefield. Anyway, you
There are people who bear the debt of more than one life, and I am not the least of them."
Zhao Zhiguo walked to Zhu Hongsi and saw the eight of them standing together: "Yao Pengju, separate the eight of them. No matter where they go, the eight of them cannot get together."
The identities of these eight people are too suspicious. Zhao Zhiguo will never believe these eight people easily until he has a thorough understanding.
Because there was no one to monitor him in the prison, Zhao Zhiguo didn't have to report it or go through any procedures, so he just took everyone away.
Not long after Zhao Zhiguo and the others left the prison, the roar of Japanese aircraft rang in the sky. The soldiers were all too familiar with this. On their former positions, Japanese bombers would bomb them almost every day.
"Hide!" Zhao Zhiguo ordered quickly.
Yao Pengju immediately took people to hide in a nearby building, but there were still some students on the street who had just gone to express condolences to the troops.
Although the students knew that this was an airplane just like the soldiers on the battlefield, they did not have the reaction of the soldiers.
"Boom boom boom"
Before Zhao Zhiguo could call them to take cover, a deafening explosion sounded in the city, followed by dust that covered the sky and blocked out the sun. The entire Pingcheng was shrouded in thick dust, as if a huge smoke bomb had been set off in the city.
The rumbling sound of houses collapsing and the sound of fire devouring the house rang in Zhao Zhiguo's ears.
Zhao Zhiguo didn't have time to think too much, he rushed towards the two students who were still standing stupidly and threw them to the ground.
Bricks and stones were flying everywhere, and Zhao Zhiguo felt a heartbreaking pain on his back, his ears were buzzing, and the ground was shaking. Zhao Zhiguo felt that his eardrums were bulging and his head was congested, but he still protected the two people under him.
A few minutes later, the Japs had dropped more than a dozen tons of bombs in Pingcheng. Gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and everything in front of them was a mess.
"Captain!"
Fortunately, the Japs' bombing continued westward, but this area was temporarily safe. During the bombing just now, Yao Pengju saw Zhao Zhiguo rushing out.
After making sure it was safe, he quickly got up and looked for Zhao Zhiguo.
"You hurt me!"
A female student hurriedly pushed Zhao Zhiguo, but Zhao Zhiguo hugged him too tightly, and she, a weak woman, didn't have much strength, so she could only keep slapping Zhao Zhiguo.
Zhao Zhiguo also wanted to stand up, but after struggling twice, he only felt unbearable pain in his back and was unable to use any strength.
"Captain, commander, how are you?"
Yao Pengju rushed over and saw blood oozing out of Zhao Zhiguo's back, and quickly helped Zhao Zhiguo up.
Only then did the two students get up from the ground: "How could you do this?" They were still complaining that Zhao Zhiguo was too rude to them.
Yao Pengju raised his eyes and glanced at the two students and found that they still had the energy to complain, which meant they were definitely not injured. At this time, he was more concerned about Zhao Zhiguo: "Captain, you are injured!"
Zhao Zhiguo gritted his teeth and endured the pain: "I know, help me tear the clothes off my back."
Yao Pengju quickly did as Zhao Zhiguo said. The moment he saw the wound, the two students screamed and turned their heads to the side, not daring to take another look.
"Captain, the wound is not deep, but it is a bit big!"
Although the broken masonry scattered by the bombing was not as harmful as the shrapnel, it was still enough to cause death. However, the injuries on Zhao Zhiguo's back were not fatal, but large-scale scratches caused by the broken masonry.
"I said, it hurts so much, help me up."
