I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

After sending the telegram, Chen Feng left the temporary command center. The New Fourth Division sent a telegram that 670 "criminals" were detained in Licun Prison. The Japanese military police had been killed and the puppet army prison guards had surrendered. The "criminals" were difficult to identify. Shen Honglie was busy arranging the defense of Qingdao and asked Chen Feng to go and deal with it.

In order to receive telegrams from various places at any time, Chen Feng had to take Song Zihan to Licun Prison. A special operations platoon provided armed escort and they drove from Jiadingshan Command Center. They arrived at the prison in just twenty minutes.

All the "criminals" were brought out. A company of the Second Regiment of the New Fourth Division was guarding them. When they learned that Qingdao had been recaptured by the New Fourth Division and the Yimeng Guerrillas, most of the "criminals" looked excited, but some looked lonely. Hundreds of them squatted obediently in the yard, in neat rows.

"Sit down! Squatting is tiring. They are all our compatriots. There is no need to be so harsh on them even if they are the ones who committed murders and arson."

Chen Feng only took a glance at the company commander of the New Fourth Division, and the company commander felt a mountain of pressure.

"Captain, they all came out and squatted down on their own initiative. I am Qin Dahai, Second Company, Third Battalion, Second Regiment. The division commander has instructed that everything is left to you. We are fully awaiting your orders."

"How many prison guards have been arrested? Drag them out!"

The company commander wanted to say that they had laid down their weapons and surrendered, but when he saw Captain Lengqiang's expressionless face, he dared not say a word.

"Bring all the prisoners here and make them behave themselves."

More than a dozen prison guards were brought in, all of them had dejected looks on their faces. The prison guards were doing their jobs well, so how could things suddenly change?

Chen Feng didn't even look at the dozen or so prison guards, and said to the densely packed "prisoners" in the yard:

"Everyone, pay attention. Your "crimes" will be discussed later. Now raise your heads and look at the prison guards in front of you. If there are any who are taking advantage of their power and do not treat you as human beings, point them out and I will deal with them first."

"Sir, please spare us, sir, please spare us. We surrender voluntarily!"

"Shut him up"!

The soldiers of the special operations platoon stepped forward to block the mouth of the prison guard who was speaking. Chen Feng continued to ask the "prisoners" in the yard:

"Don't be afraid, just say what you think, don't wrongly accuse anyone, and don't cover up for them."

"Captain Cold Gun, let me tell you!"

A man with a righteous look on his face stood up, his face covered with whip marks and his clothes were torn to tatters.

"Who are you"?

"My name is Xu Yunfei. I am an underground member of the Communist Party of China in Qingdao. I have been collecting intelligence on the Japanese army in Qingdao, especially evidence of the Japanese army's oppression of laborers. I was captured because of a traitor's betrayal and have been detained for six months."

"You have suffered, tell me! Is there any hope for these prison guards?"

"There are only a few who have not harmed their compatriots. They are just supervising here to make a living. The one who just spoke is extremely evil. He helped the Japanese to torture us. He was more cruel than the Japanese. He took advantage of the Japanese's power to do all kinds of evil in Qingdao, harming their compatriots, framing businesses, and ransacking the homes of anti-Japanese elements. He would not let go of even the elderly and children, and even captured young women to honor their masters."

The prison guard who had just spoken fell to his knees, his mouth blocked, and he could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"Point it out! I believe in you, and don't let me down."

Xu Yunfei took a few steps forward and stood in front of the prison guards like the god of death. Most of the prison guards in the row were sifting through the chaff.

"This one, this one, and this one, and the last one over there, only these four still have some humanity. The others are more cruel than the Japs."

Chen Feng waved his hand. He felt sick just by looking at such scum. The special operations platoon dragged seven or eight prison guards aside.

Tat, tat, tat! Tat, tat, tat!

There was a row of corpses underneath the wall.

"You four come here."

The four prison guards almost peed their pants. They looked at Xu Yunfei with great gratitude. It was so terrible just now. The finger of this benefactor Xu was simply a golden finger! Whoever he pointed at would live.

"Do you four know all of them?"

"Sir, we basically understand everything. The four of us won't fight the Japanese, nor do we want to harm our brothers and sisters. We can only manage their lives and collect data and count the number of people all day long."

"Okay, point out all those who were arrested for anti-Japanese activities! Pat the shoulders of those who are anti-Japanese heroes."

The four prison guards quickly bowed and agreed, entered the queue and began to check one by one, patting the "prisoners" on the shoulders from time to time. The four men were very familiar with this group of people, and after a while, they returned to Chen Feng.

"Sir, those who patted my shoulders just now were real anti-Japanese elements. No, they were real anti-Japanese heroes. Some of them killed the Japanese devils, and some of them killed Japanese overseas Chinese."

"The person who was tapped on the shoulder just now, please come out!"

More than three hundred people stood up. As expected, the Japanese prison must have the most anti-Japanese heroes.

Chen Feng looked at the rows of anti-Japanese heroes and said:

"From now on, you are free. If you want to go back to the organization, you can leave now. By the way, Captain Qin."

"arrive"!

"Did we seize any spoils from the prison?"

"Captain, we have some. We have counted them but they haven't been shipped away yet. There are 37 kilograms of gold and silver jewelry, 18 large yellow croakers, 326 small yellow croakers, and 27,653 dollars in cash. Captain, do you need them? I'll have them moved over."

"Bring the money over here! Report how much you need when you hand it over."

Several boxes of money were brought in, as well as things in cloth bags and wrapped in bed sheets.

Chen Feng asked Qin Dahai to give ten yuan to each of the more than 300 people.

"These are the travel expenses. Those who want to return to the organization can set off now. Those who don't have a superior in the organization can also go home. If anyone wants to join the team, please go over there and wait for a while. In addition, I am Leng Qiang, the captain of the Yimeng Guerrillas. Our Yimeng Guerrillas is in short supply of talents now. Anyone with a skill, whether it is chemistry, physics, weapons research, or even just being proficient in blacksmithing, can go over there and wait for a while. We will talk in detail later."

Xu Yunfei generously took the ten dollars and bowed to Chen Feng:

"Captain Leng Qiang, thank you so much. I am grateful for your kindness. I have to go back to the organization to report the situation of the prisoners and traitors. I will leave first."

More than 300 people bowed to Chen Feng and expressed their gratitude. Most of them left after receiving their money. Only a dozen or so people wanted to join the team or had special skills and were willing to stay.

"You four tell me, which group of people have the most of the remaining ones?"

"Those who were wrongly accused, or those who accidentally offended the Japanese expatriates and the Huang Datou who was just shot, and those whose property Huang Datou coveted."

"Go in and pick someone! Pat their shoulders, but don't do random taps!"

"Don't worry, captain, we will never dare to act rashly."

Nearly two hundred more people were photographed and stood in four neat rows.

"Each of you will receive ten dollars, and you can all go home! Your families must be worried about you after suffering such a disaster, so go back and reunite with your families first"!
