War Military: From 1978

Chapter 170 The prisoner who fears death!
On the quiet canyon path, the sound of tank engines roared.

"Help help"

On the canyon trail, bodies were lying all over the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses.

Occasionally, you can see some seriously injured people lying on the roadside, still breathing, calling out weakly.

Tanks passed on the road.

Along the way, infantry soldiers advancing with the tanks moved the remains of the martyrs to the roadside.

It can be seen that all the soldiers looked extremely ugly. When they found that there were still people alive, they rushed to provide medical treatment immediately.

This is an ordinary canyon east of Gao P, but the scene here is unusual.

A day ago, a logistics transport team of our army was ambushed by the Vietnamese devils when it followed the infiltration troops here.

The transport team of more than 200 people, including all the ammunition and supplies they carried, were completely lost.

The few who survived were the ones who did not dare to stay too long in the dark and did not kill them one by one.

This is a horrific scene, but this situation is only a part of the logistics supply routes of our army's main battle lines.

The army suffered heavy losses of logistical supplies on many fronts due to the guerrilla warfare and blocking battles of the Vietnamese devils.

Although so far, the Vietnamese devils have actually died more miserably.

A rough estimate shows that the enemy lost at least 15,000 people on the Gao P front alone.

But the Vietnamese devils had fought for decades, and the long war may have made them numb to death. Many civilians may even feel that death is a relief.

So such huge casualties did not cause them to collapse.

On the contrary, they are still active everywhere on the battlefield.

Moreover, because of their plan to build walls and clear the countryside, many ordinary people who were driven to the mountains for custody have now run out of food.

Because they were not allowed to go out and had no tree bark to eat, many Vietnamese civilians had to express their hatred for the flower-growing families in various ways in order to get a bite to eat, so they joined the militia armed forces and became part of the guerrilla warfare against our army in various places.

Although these people do not have high military literacy, they really don't care about their lives when fighting.

The most obvious manifestation is that our army originally thought that after we broke into their depth, the enemy would collapse directly, and then we would be able to capture prisoners until our hands were tired.

But the fact is that up to now, the entire Gao P front has killed nearly 15,000 enemies, but captured only 500.

The reason for this is actually due to the propaganda of the Vietnamese authorities.

They described the Flower Planting Empire as similar to the previous booklets, saying that if captured, they would be treated inhumanely or even tortured to death.

However, this type of people definitely does not include the man and woman currently captured by Chu An.

At around three o'clock in the morning, in a cave on a stone mountain close to the Wudao area, Chu An stood in front of a young man who was tied up and leaning against a stone wall.

"Name!"

"Li Ji"

Chu An glanced at him.

The surname Li, this must be the culprit of this war!
However, Chu An did not connect this with that person. If it were really his children and grandchildren, why would they come to this damn place and stay there until now?

"How old!"

"23!"

"Position!"

"I am not a soldier!"

"Then why do you have a military escort? Don't tell me that an ordinary person from your country of Yue also has this kind of treatment!"

"My father is the deputy commander of the Gao P Security District."

What Li Ji said made Chu An's eyes widen.

Deputy Commander of the Garrison?

What a big name! I actually caught his son.

Looking at the man in front of him, Chu An immediately continued to ask: "What about you? What are you doing in Gao P?"

"I work at Gaoping Government Office!"

He stuttered a little, but was very cooperative. The reason was simple. Chu An directly separated him from his sister.

Chu An just said in front of them that if the two people's confessions were wrong, they would be shot.

He is not like those untouchables outside. He comes from a powerful family. Even though the Kingdom of Yue has been in dire straits, people like him have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood.

Those who haven't suffered hardship are afraid of it, and those who haven't been beaten are even more afraid. As for the so-called "flower-growing families" and "Eagle Empire" promoted by the authorities, he knew very well that they were completely different.

As a staff member of the Gao P government, he knew how the Huajia people treated their people and the discipline of the Huajia soldiers.

So, knowing this, he had more hope of survival.

Soon, the Chu Security Department found out about his background.

Staring at him, Chu An began to ask other questions: "Do you know what's going on inside the T-shirt?"

"I really don't know about this. You know, I was beaten by you before I even got my T-barred."

"Really? Aren't you a government employee in charge of logistics? How many people are there here? Is there a supply warehouse here? I believe you should know these things, right?"

"I, I don't know!" Li Ji's eyes dodged for a moment, and he lowered his head and muttered.

From this performance, Chu An knew at a glance that he was lying.

It is so unnatural for the children of the powerful and wealthy who have never experienced the harshness of society to tell a lie.

“Oh, is that so?

Okay, I'll go ask your sister. If what he says doesn't match what you said, I'll come over and kill you!"

Chu An's words made him obviously nervous. He clenched his bound hands into fists. He looked up at Chu An who was about to leave and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you, the Flower Planting Family, treat prisoners well?"

"Yes! Preferential treatment, but you have to cooperate!

And I have to remind you that there are only six of us now, and we cannot guarantee that we can return to our main force alive.

So if there is a change in the middle and you are of no value, then we will definitely have to kill you first.

After all, you can only be considered prisoners if you are brought alive into our main force. Otherwise, we will die and will definitely not leave you behind. If you are rescued, you will become our enemy again!"

"You" Li Ji's face turned pale.

But Chu An ignored him and continued calmly: "Don't think too much now.

We are safe for now, and so are you, but if you lie to me and don't cooperate, then you wait."

Chu An said nothing more, leaving him room for imagination and then turned and left!
The cave is not big, but very long and narrow.

There are still hundreds of meters inside, so Wang Xiaohu and Luo Yun took his sister inside for questioning.

"Wait~"

Chu An had only taken a few steps when Li Ji couldn't help it.

He opened his mouth and called out to Chu An!
Chu An turned around and looked at him.

"If I provide you with very important information, can you just let me and my sister go?"

"Oh?" Chu An's eyes lit up.

Staring at him, Chu An smiled and said, "If the information is really important and correct, I can make the decision to let you go!

But you must understand that as the children of high-ranking officials of the State of Yue, you still have some value.

If nothing else, we'll take you back and then find someone to secretly contact your father. I think your father will waver in his determination to resist us for your sake!"

Li Ji's face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I promise that the information is more valuable than me and my sister, but you must swear on the honor of your soldiers in the Flower Planting Family that if I tell you the information, you must let me and my sister go.

And you have to promise that after I tell you the secret, you have to keep my and my sister's identities secret!"

At this point, he gritted his teeth and stared at Chu An: "At the very least, my identity as an informer cannot be exposed, especially not to the Kingdom of Yue!"

He is now willing to risk his life.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

In order to avoid being taken away by Chu An and to be able to go back alive, he was really prepared to reveal the biggest secret he knew.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Chu An agrees to his request.

As for whether Chu An will do it after he promises.

In fact, he was also gambling. He knew that the soldiers of the Flower-Growing Family valued military honor and he knew the discipline of the soldiers of the Flower-Growing Family, so he was ready to take a gamble!
Anyway, he really doesn't want to die.

As high-ranking officials, they have a rich life. As long as they can get away and return safely to the southern border, they can still continue to live a rich life.

But if you die, all of this will be in vain.

As for whether the intelligence leak would lead to the deaths of more Vietnamese people, this was not something he considered at all.
