Chapter 632 Life for Life
The voice sounded gloomy and low, with a rising tone at the end.
The voice was unfamiliar, yet the tone and words felt strangely familiar!
Wen Ni frowned, then suddenly grabbed a pair of binoculars placed to the side and raised them with one hand.
Only when her field of vision was magnified to the maximum could she see a tank slowly driving out from behind the battlefield on the other side.
A figure was vaguely sitting at the front of the tank, looking relaxed, and what he was holding in one hand was a megaphone!
Although the distance was far, I couldn't see the person's face clearly.
But just by looking at her figure, even if she were burned to ashes, Wen Ni would still recognize her!
It is Li Shiyan.
No, to be precise, it should be Katori Stanway Lee!
“It’s him.” Lu Jinye’s face grew increasingly gloomy, and he gradually realized who the voice belonged to.
This was the first time he had faced Li Shiyan's true face and voice since he learned Li Shiyan's identity!
"Commander? Should we reply?" The subordinate brought a megaphone, waiting for Lu Jinye's orders.
"Ignore him and proceed according to the original plan," Lu Jinye said coldly.
"yes!"
The subordinate immediately understood, turned around, picked up the microphone, and shouted to the other side!
"Listen up, officers and soldiers of the Northern Burmese War Zone! Your capital has fallen, and the Burmese army will withdraw from the war zone within two days! President Xichen has issued a surrender notice to the whole country! The ceasefire declaration has also spread throughout the streets and alleys. If you continue to resist and struggle, you will be regarded as a reactionary force by the Burmese, and China has the right to assist President Xichen in completing the extermination!"
The loudspeaker amplifies the sound at a high power, playing it repeatedly.
Both sides temporarily ceased firing heavy artillery.
This will allow the Burmese soldiers to hear China's words of persuasion to surrender more clearly!
"You are already surrounded. Continuing to resist is tantamount to throwing eggs against rocks!"
"As long as you lay down your weapons and leave the battlefield now, we and President Xichen will not pursue the matter any further!"
The subordinate's tone gradually softened and became more amiable.
"Since the start of the war between China and Burma, both soldiers and civilians have suffered greatly from displacement and hardship! It's time for us to end this farce orchestrated by those with ulterior motives and return to normal life! You must be missing home, right?"
Only by using both soft and hard tactics can one break down a person's psychological defenses.
The Burmese soldiers at the bottom trembled slightly as they held their guns. They looked at the mangled bodies of their comrades around them, at the blood-stained ground beneath their feet, and at the foggy sky shrouded in smoke.
They had long been fed up with this life of constant fear.
Some dared to be the first to try something new; they tremblingly threw away their guns, took off their uniforms, and retreated hesitantly to the edge of the battlefield!
"Bang bang bang!"
Several sudden gunshots from behind sent a shiver down the spines of the already jittery crowd!
The crowd stared in stunned silence as they watched as every single person who tried to escape was pierced through the body by sharp bullets! Blood splattered, contrasting with the shock and fear on their faces; some even had bulging eyes, their mouths agape, dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief!
"Anyone who deserts in the face of battle is considered a deserter and will be executed without mercy!"
Li Shiyan, holding a megaphone, a bloodthirsty smile on his lips, looked down condescendingly at the lowly soldiers.
What do these people's lives mean to him?
They are all just pawns in his hands, their lives and deaths are entirely in his hands!
"With the capital fallen, what kind of president is a little kid? He's nothing but a puppet controlled by the Chinese! The Burmese barbarians have fallen, and their people have become lowly prisoners. As for you, you are Burmese soldiers! Your hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese. Once you surrender, what awaits you is inhuman torture and extermination!"
"Rather than fall into enemy hands, fight your way out with me. Your families and your people will remember your deeds!"
Li Shiyan is ruthless and insane, and his pursuers are just as ruthless.
They pointed their guns at the backs of their own men, and if anyone dared to make a move, deadly bullets would be fired without mercy!
"Better to die by the sword than to be a slave of a conquered nation!"
"That's right! Even if I die in battle, I will never grovel before the Chinese!"
Everyone has passion, they just have different perspectives.
"Slaves of a conquered nation?" Lu Jinye's cold voice rang out again. "You are following a slave of a conquered nation. If it weren't for him and Dawa, how could the Burmese have fallen to this state? He is the one who harmed you, yet you still rush to become his knives, cutting off your own hands and feet?"
"Lu Jinye, I am a slave of a conquered nation, so what are you? A savior? Heh~ Don't portray yourself as so noble. With your current military strength, you could have easily driven us to the brink of destruction, but you didn't do that. Instead, you chose to persuade us to surrender. Don't think I don't know your ulterior motives!"
Li Shiyan sneered, pointing at everyone in front of him.
"I already said, how could the Chinese possibly care about you? If I didn't hold his father's life in my hands, he would have already led his troops to kill you and cut you into mincemeat!"
"Despicable Chinese!" The Burmese soldiers' hatred remained undiminished.
"What do you want in return for letting him go?" Lu Jinye's cold voice rang out from the loudspeaker.
Wen Ni paused slightly while her gaze, which was fixed on the binoculars, glanced at Lu Jinye's position without making a sound, and saw that his profile was tense and still expressionless!
After a long while, she looked away and then looked in Li Shiyan's direction.
Li Shiyan and his remaining followers were already at their wits' end, a fact he was well aware of; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly emerged at this critical juncture. Captain Lu's life was his only and most valuable bargaining chip!
"How about we make a deal?" Li Shiyan asked slowly. "I'll release Lu Zhenbang, and you release us, how about it?"
"dream."
Lu Jinye responded coldly, unmoved.
"Oh? You really are as decisive in your refusal as I expected~" Li Shiyan was confident of victory and didn't seem to care. "Then I'll change my request. I'll give you time to think about it. Think about whether you want to agree or not~"
As he spoke, he paused to create suspense, then clapped his hands.
Several people slowly emerged from behind the tank.
In the middle stood a figure covered in blood and tattered clothes. His hands were bound, and he staggered along. Two men supported him from the shoulders, but he stubbornly struggled, each step a trembling, determined attempt to move forward.
Captain Lu...
Wen Ni's eyes instantly reddened.
Not only were there tears welling up, but also hatred and resentment about to spill from my eyes!
On the high platform, Lu Jinye's hands trembled almost imperceptibly! He clenched his fists to suppress it, but his face remained expressionless!
He calmly raised the megaphone, his words as cold and piercing as if they had been dipped into an icy pool: "What exactly do you want?"
"Let's still exchange." Li Shiyan jumped off the tank, patted Lu Zhenbang on the shoulder with a smile, and his soft voice echoed in everyone's ears, "Using you to exchange for him, that's fair~"
"Madman!" Leng Feng and Qin Zhan both heard this and angrily rebuked him.
Wen Ni's lips twitched, and she suddenly turned to look at Lu Jinye!
No……
"Okay," Lu Jinye said.
There was no hesitation, and no emotional fluctuation.
don't want……
Wen Ni's fingertips dug into her flesh, but she had no right to stop it!
That was Captain Lu, her superior, her comrade-in-arms, even someone like family with whom she spent every day. He was also Lu Jinye's father; blood was thicker than water!
If it were her, she would definitely make the same choice.
She stood there, stunned, watching Lu Jinye slowly descend from the platform and come to stand before her.
