Chapter 327 Shooting
Gao Cang did not dare to look at Zhao Zhiguo's eyes again, lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"What are you doing!" Zhao Zhiguo slammed the table and roared at Gao Cang.
However, he used too much force and tore the wound. Zhao Zhiguo was so painful that he almost fell down.
"Captain, are you okay?" Gao Cang saw Zhao Zhiguo's pale face and quickly helped Zhao Zhiguo sit down.
"I'm asking you, are you hiding something from me?"
"Actually, nothing major happened. I detained a platoon leader and several soldiers," Gao Cang said.
"Why?"
"They stole a fellow's sheep and did this to his girl!" Gao Cang said with difficulty.
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Zhiguo looked at Gao Cang with a livid face.
"I have dealt with it, paid double the compensation, and asked them to kneel down and apologize!"
"Double compensation? You have harmed other girls, how can you double compensation? Is your brain, Gao Cang, broken? Have you forgotten what our military discipline is?" Zhao Zhiguo pointed at Gao Cang's
Nose asked.
"I haven't forgotten it! But this platoon leader followed us all the way here and was wounded three times. The first time he almost lost his life."
"This is no reason! If every wounded brother goes to harm the girl, what will our army be like?"
"He is different!" Gao Cang was still pleading for the platoon leader.
"What's different? Under military regulations, division commanders are no exception. Tell me what's different about him. I think you, Gao Cang, just want to bend the law for personal gain!"
"Captain, we don't have many brothers who have fought together to the death!"
"I know better than you how many brothers have died in this fight! Military law is ruthless. Gather all the officers and I will handle it personally." Zhao Zhiguo ordered.
"Captain, I beg you." Gao Cang felt heartbroken.
"Okay, you don't want to go, right? I'll go by myself! And I said that when a person makes a mistake, the superior officer is also responsible. You Gao Cang deliberately concealed it, which is an additional crime. After this matter is dealt with, you can go by yourself.
The confinement room, I don’t understand, you have been staying in the confinement room, there is no way I will let a piece of mouse droppings ruin a pot of porridge!"
Military law is military law. If a person breaks military law today, if Zhao Zhiguo turns a blind eye and spares him, there will be another one, until the entire army will no longer take military law seriously.
"Captain!"
"You don't even listen to my orders now?"
"Yes, leader!" Gao Cang stood at attention.
All the officers of the regiment were gathered together, including the second lieutenant that Zhao Zhiguo had just brought back. They did not know why Zhao Zhiguo suddenly gave the order to assemble.
Ning Wenbin helped Zhao Zhiguo come to the assembled army of officers.
"I just came back today when I heard something that made me sad. A platoon leader, a squad leader and three recruits stole a fellow villager's sheep and harmed the fellow villager's daughter. I, Zhao Zhiguo, feel very sad.
! All the veterans who follow me know that what I hate most is soldiers bullying unarmed people with guns."
Many officers had heard about this incident a long time ago. They also knew that the platoon leader had been injured many times in battles, so many officers talked about the platoon leader. But in their hearts, they believed that the platoon leader would be imprisoned for only a few days at most.
Will be released because there are many such precedents in other troops.
"Do you think that I, Zhao Zhiguo, will protect children? I just talk about military law and forget it?" Zhao Zhiguo looked at the officers under him, "I, Zhao Zhiguo, will protect children, but I will never do anything that violates military discipline.
Protect him, starting today, Gao Cang will be demoted from lieutenant colonel to captain, and he will be placed in solitary confinement for reflection. The platoon leader and soldiers involved will be taken to the entrance of the village and shot."
All the officers were shocked when they heard Zhao Zhiguo's order to be shot. Although they knew there were military laws, they did not expect that all those directly involved would be shot.
"Ning Wenbin, what are you still doing? Pull them out!"
Ning Wenbin quickly led the soldiers to pull the platoon leader and a few soldiers to the entrance of the village. All the officers gathered and stood behind them. Their hearts were clenched. Some even hoped that Zhao Zhiguo would order to keep people under the gun.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.
"Captain, please go around me. I know I was wrong! It was all done by the platoon leader and us."
A soldier kneeling on the ground was so frightened that he wet his pants, kowtowed and begged Zhao Zhiguo to let him go.
"Bang"
Zhao Zhiguo shot him directly in the head and said contemptuously: "Skeleton head!"
"You are also a veteran. I know you. Do you have anything to say?" Zhao Zhiguo asked the monitor.
"Captain, I'm sorry for embarrassing our group. Can you write a letter to my family and tell my parents that I was killed by a kid?"
The squad leader's whole body was shaking like chaff. He didn't expect that he would be so scared at the moment of death.
"Yes!"
"Bang"
There was another gunshot.
Seeing that the squad leader had been shot, the two recruits were so frightened that they fainted. Zhao Zhiguo would not wait for them to wake up and directly shot them in the head.
"Do you have anything to say?"
At this time, Zhao Zhiguo's hands were trembling a little. He also knew the value of a veteran, and he also knew that this platoon leader had broken through the gate of hell. It would be a pity to shoot him like this, but military law is as powerful as the sky.
"Captain, I... am the bastard!"
"I'm not a priest, I'm not here to hear your confession, I'm here to enforce military law." Zhao Zhiguo said, "Leave your last words and I will try my best to help you do it."
The platoon leader originally wanted to plead with Zhao Zhiguo, but seeing Zhao Zhiguo's firm eyes, he regretted it: "Captain, if I have a chance in the next life, I will still follow you."
"Bang"
As the gunfire rang out, the officers watching the execution all had their mouths open, but they did not dare to say a word.
"Let me tell you, the military laws established by me, Zhao Zhiguo, are for enforcement, not for looking at, and not for breaking. If anyone feels that his life is hard enough, then just give it a try! Disband!"
After the officers left, Zhao Zhiguo squatted on the ground, covering his wound. His wound had been aching faintly just now, but he kept enduring it in front of the officers.
"Captain, are you okay?"
Gao Cang and Ning Wenbin quickly came to help Zhao Zhiguo.
"Captain, your wound is bleeding again." Ning Wenbin saw blood stains on Zhao Zhiguo's clothes.
"Find a carriage, pull the body in, and go to the fellow villager's house!"
"Captain, you'd better have a good rest. It was me, Gao Cang, who made the mistake, and I'm going to apologize." Gao Cang felt distressed.
"They are my soldiers, Zhao Zhiguo. They made mistakes, and I, Zhao Zhiguo, are responsible!"
Seeing Zhao Zhiguo's resolute attitude, Gao Cang said nothing and immediately arranged for soldiers to pull the carriage.
"Gao Cang, come with me!" Zhao Zhiguo ordered.
Gao Cang nodded, carried the body to the carriage, then personally led the carriage and accompanied Zhao Zhiguo to his hometown.
"Captain, please get on your horse and rest for a while."
