Chapter 20 Interrogation
"After the prisoners are tied, just leave them here and leave them to the people behind to deal with them!"
Yan Chujie gave the order loudly, and at the same time stepped on the prisoner's back. He bent down and skillfully twisted the prisoner's arms behind his back, and tied both wrists with straps. This kind of police plastic restraint belt is one of the police supplies that Yan Chujie purchased using his position before leaving his job. It is light in weight and easy to use, especially when a large number of captured people need to be controlled. This thing is better than traditional metal handcuffs. Used too much. There is no need to cut the strap when untying it. It only requires a small tool to open it and can be reused many times. This time the joint action team came to the fishing village to inspect, Yan Chujie also brought a bundle by accident, and unexpectedly it came in handy.
During the pursuit, Yan Chujie had received news through the military radio that Tao Donglai was coming with reinforcements. This made him less worried and secretly determined to catch all the Ming troops who dared to attack him. During the pursuit, the physical gap between the two sides was clearly exposed. These Ming troops ran out of strength after running hundreds of meters at a stretch. They neither knew how to reasonably distribute their physical strength nor how to organize themselves in multiple directions. The result of scattered retreat and a swarm of swarms scrambling for their lives caused everyone to have greater psychological panic.
The pursuit team led by Yan Chujie didn't even need to specifically aim to kill these deserters. As long as they saw the front slowing down and fired a shot into the air, the deserters would immediately get up and run for a while. After repeating this two or three times, they would have a lot of physical strength. I can't run without support. At this time, if the chasing team shouts to surrender, the effect will be twice the result with half the effort.
After Yan Chujie tied up the man under his feet, he noticed that the prisoner was actually wearing a leather armor in addition to the mandarin duck jacket. He couldn't help but sneered: "Hey! He even caught an official!"
The final result of this Ming army's great escape was that no one had enough strength to escape to the landing site in one breath, and the pursuit team had to walk with the last two captured prisoners to the landing site on the banks of the Linchun River. The ten left-behind sailors who were having a picnic on the shore were also caught together with the Haicang boat they were traveling on.
When the reinforcements led by Tao Donglai arrived outside the fishing village, they discovered the corpses of several Ming army soldiers swaying in the rice fields. The people in the military and police department have also been soldiers after all, so their emotions are relatively stable. However, several people in the medical team are basically medical students, and they don't have much reaction to the dead. Only Yu Dashan, who is leading the way, is pale and has two facial expressions. Zhan Zhan was almost dragged along this stretch of road.
Yan Chujie's pursuit team carefully left marching marks on the tree trunks along the way, so the reinforcements marched very smoothly and gathered the tied prisoners into the team one by one. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the two teams from the Chuanzhong subordinates finally met victoriously by the Linchun River, and the two giants of the military and police department also held hands tightly.
"Comrade Lao Yan, thank you for your hard work!"
Yan Chujie's pride was palpable: "It's just so so. In fact, it's not as exciting as participating in the roundup of fugitives in the shooting case two years ago... These bastards can't even run for their lives. No wonder they were captured by thousands of wild boar skins later! By the way, How are our injuries?”
"It shouldn't be a big deal. The foreigners said that all it takes is a small operation to take out the arrowhead." Tao Donglai looked at the Haicang boat on the shore, and then continued: "Well done, including the man and the boat. One pot is served!”
Yan Chujie said with high spirits: "How about we gather our troops and march westward, and take over Yazhou Water Village directly!"
"Then why don't we just go to Beijing, rush into the palace and kill everyone in the Zhu family?" Tao Donglai glared at Yan Chujie: "Old Yan, you have to distinguish the priorities! Stop talking about these useless things. Quickly organize the team and count the results. I will contact the headquarters first to prevent them from worrying."
After an inventory, a total of forty-seven Ming soldiers were captured in this battle, several swords, guns, bows, arrows and firearms, a Haicang ship, and various supplies on board. According to the preliminary confession obtained during the temporary interrogation, there were a total of sixty-four Ming officers and soldiers, and the leader of this team was Mr. Luo Bai, who was captured by Yan Chujie. In the battle outside the fishing village, nine Ming soldiers were shot dead on the spot, and four others died of serious injuries. Two more people were shot dead on the way to escape, and two people are missing. Although two people ran away, the travelers were not worried about what else might happen to the two frightened deserters.
After a brief discussion, Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie decided that a five-member team from the North American Gang who were familiar with ship operations would board the ship to escort the ten sailors who were originally driving the ship, and sail the ship around the Luhuitou Peninsula back to Victory Port. The remaining prisoners of war were escorted back along the original route by the military and police departments, and at the same time, the bodies of those unlucky Ming soldiers were also buried. Fortunately, the Haicang ship was equipped with a few shovels, otherwise it would be troublesome in this wilderness without even a tool for digging holes.
When this group of exhausted prisoners of war finally arrived at the Port of Victory, everyone was, without exception, shocked by the fleet of ships moored on the pier. Luo Shengdong even shouted in his heart: "There is such a giant ship in the world! If I had known this, how could I have rushed forward greedily for credit!"
The returning members of the military and police received a hero's welcome. Almost everyone came to the dock to celebrate their victory with applause and cheers. Even Zhang Guang, who had just finished the operation, ran out with one arm hanging to watch the excitement, and generously dedicated his whistle to his companions who had successfully avenged him. Seeing such a situation, the faces of the prisoners of war became even more ugly. God knows whether they will be beheaded by these brutal pirates later? Or was he killed by that strange fire gun that could fire continuously?
Due to the haste of the incident, Victory Port did not even have time to build a temporary facility to imprison prisoners of war. After a brief public display, the prisoners were put on a barge. The two cabins on the barge that were originally used to carry livestock are now empty. However, before they had time to clean them, the smell was still quite strong. Now they can only force the prisoners to stay inside. After the Ming soldiers boarded the ship, they found that the entire ship was made of fine iron. They couldn't help but marvel. Even Luo Shengdong, who always thought he had some knowledge, looked at it and muttered in his heart: "Why can this iron ship float on the sea without sinking? Could it be that these pirates have some evil magic? If all the ships anchored here are like Made of fine iron, wouldn’t it take tens of thousands of kilograms of fine iron to suffice?”
With the news of victory, the emergency order has been lifted, Victory Port and Base No. 1 have returned to basic order, and all construction work is continuing in an orderly manner as planned. However, the matter at the Military and Police Department is not over yet. These people have been escorted back, but they still need to be further interrogated, screened, and follow-up response arrangements must be made.
Tao Donglai set a tone for this: "If no particularly bad behavior is found during the interrogation, then I suggest that this group of people can be temporarily used as laborers after the interrogation, whether it is digging the ground or cutting down trees, we can arrange Let them do some heavy physical work. Anyway, we are short of labor now. In addition, the officer should be more careful in handling it. I suggest that we discuss it at the next meeting. "
The people in the military and police department are mainly veterans, and of course there are a few who came from the police academy. In addition, Yan Chujie, who entered the public security system after retiring from the army, there are actually eight or nine people who worked as police officers before traveling through time. So the Military and Police Department immediately set up four interrogation teams, set up their positions at the port, and began to conduct surprise interrogations of the prisoners of war.
The purpose of the surprise interrogation is very clear, with three main points. First, find out who organized and launched this ambush against the Chuanzhong, and whether it was an accidental incident or a targeted action; second, learn as much as possible about the situation of Yacheng Water Village and Yacheng garrison, and find out the opponent It is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the opponent's true strength, especially the opponent's combat methods, garrison distribution, main generals and other information; third, screen and classify prisoners of war to see if there are special talents that can be utilized. Of course, to understand these situations, the best source of information is undoubtedly the officer in charge of this unit, so Luo Shengdong was fortunate enough to be interrogated by the two-person review team of the executive committee composed of Yan Chujie and Ning Qi.
"You bandits, how dare you make enemies of the official army..." Luo Shengdong still did not give up his basic principles and planned to state his position first and warn these short-haired pirates not to be too aggressive. But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the other party.
"You made two mistakes in one sentence, and I have to correct you." Ning Qi didn't give him a chance to show off, and immediately said: "First of all, we are not pirates or bandits, we come from thousands of miles overseas. Descendants of the Han people. Secondly, we are not enemies of the official army. It was you who attacked first. We were just forced to fight back."
Luo Shengdong could understand most of these words, but the meaning behind them was not very clear. If he were to follow what the other party said, wouldn't it mean that his own dignified officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had become people seeking death? This is simply unreasonable!
But when it came to refuting the other party, Luo Shengdong found that he seemed to be unable to produce any valid evidence, so he could only say bitterly: "You are overseas Chinese, so you should know the etiquette. Under the rule of our Ming Dynasty, you do not respect me. What is the legal principle if it is not a bandit? ”
Ning Qi planned to continue the debate with him, but Yan Chujie reached out and tapped on the table impatiently: "Teacher Ning, you are not asked to teach students now, but to interrogate. You have never done this job before. I think Let the professionals do it!”
Ning Qi blushed and swallowed back a series of lines that came to his lips.
"Name!" Yan Chujie immediately started the interrogation of Luo Shengdong with the style of the former security section chief.
Luo Shengdong snorted and didn't answer.
Yan Chujie was not angry, and sneered: "You're in a mood, right? You don't want to say it, right? Look to the side."
Luo Shengdong turned his head and looked at another trial team seven or eight meters away. They were also two to one, but the difference was that the person being tried over there was kneeling on the ground, and he still had some Sit on a stool.
"Let you sit down and answer. This is the treatment of an officer. If you don't want to say it, I will treat you like an ordinary soldier. Then kneel down and answer!" Yan Chujie added in a timely manner.
Sure enough, the sense of superiority between superiors and subordinates in the army works in any country and any dynasty. Luo Shengdong must not let the other party treat him as an ordinary soldier. If he does that, he will be sorry for the emperor, sorry for the Ministry of War, and sorry for the president passed down by his father. Position.
"Hainan Wei...Yazhou Water Village...Mr. Bai...Luo Shengdong..." Luo Shengdong finally compromised, but his attitude was very perfunctory.
"I can't hear you if you speak louder." Yan Chujie taunted in a leisurely manner: "No wonder he was beaten to pieces. He has so much energy to lead a soldier. I think it's better to go home and raise a child."
"Hainan Wei Yazhou Water Village Chief Executive Luo Shengdong! You understand!" Luo Shengdong was so angry that he yelled through gritted teeth.
"The defeated general, why are you so loud? Why didn't you use it on the battlefield when you had the strength?" Yan Chujie continued to use taunting combos: "I thought all your strength was used to escape."
"You..." Luo Shengdong stood up suddenly, but before he could get angry, the opponent's series of blows came again.
"Either sit or kneel, it's your choice!" Yan Chujie didn't care at all about Luo Shengdong's anger and just pointed at his leg.
Luo Shengdong's mouth opened and closed several times like a fish, but in the end he said nothing and sat back dejectedly. Ning Qi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and quietly gave Yan Chujie a thumbs up gesture.
