The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1045

   Seeing the female student being pulled by the American soldiers, a pedestrian quietly called the police immediately.

   This place belongs to Minquan Road in Chongqing in later generations. It is now called “Duyou Street”. In fact, it is “Duyou Street” which is wrongly called by ordinary people. There is a post office on the street, and the freight business is also prosperous. Every day, hundreds of hauls of goods are carried to Yunnan and Guizhou. Many goods from other provinces that are transported into Sichuan through Chaotianmen Wharf are also transited here.

   Therefore, Duyou Street is also one of the most prosperous streets in Chongqing. There is a police station next to the incident.

   Hearing that someone molested a female student, the police at the police station quickly dispatched. They came blowing their whistle, but saw three jeeps surrounded by citizens, their color changed suddenly, and they didn’t know what to do.

   “Old Li, what should I do?”

   “What do you say? Cold salad!”

   “It doesn’t matter here?”

   “They’re all American soldiers, you can take care of them.”

   “I still don’t believe in evil!”

  “…”

   After the signing of the “New Treaty” between China and the United States, the two countries engaged in a long-term wrangling over the issue of U.S. troops stationed in China. In the end, the U.S. side has exclusive jurisdiction over the U.S. military in China. If the U.S. military commits crimes in China, the Chinese police can at most temporarily control them, and then they will be handed over to the U.S. side for trial.

  The Chinese police also wanted to take care of them at first, but even if they arrested the American soldiers, it would not help. The police who were responsible for arresting people would be reprimanded by their superiors. Over time, the police were too lazy to take care of them, and they always walked around when they encountered American soldiers.

According to the statistics of Xiong Zhuoyun, director of the Tenth Bureau of the Chengdu Police Department, from 1944 to 1945 alone, the following cases were committed by American soldiers in the area under the jurisdiction of the bureau: 18 cases of car accident and murder, 11 cases of abduction and death, **** There were 37 cases of women and 11 cases of economic disruption such as black market smuggling.

   These are just vicious cases where the police have intervened. There are many cases where no one calls the police or the police dare not take care of them.

   Now, the older one doesn’t want to care about the police from the two police stations, but the younger one rushes over and scolded with a wooden baton: “What the hell, what the **** do you want to do!”

  The onlookers were very angry and stopped the jeep from leaving. Now that they saw the police coming, they all gave way and said, “These American soldiers are molesting the female students. Officer, come here and arrest them all!”

   “Damn, let go of people!” The young policeman waved his baton.

  The three American officers did not understand Chinese, and when they saw the menacing police force, one of them immediately took out his gun.

  The young policeman was stunned, neither entering nor retreating, he said with a guilty conscience: “Let… let go, don’t mess around!”

   The middle-aged policeman hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: “Mr. Jun, misunderstanding, it’s all misunderstanding, don’t shoot!”

   “Bang bang bang!”

  The American officer fired three shots into the sky, scaring away most of the pedestrians blocking the road. The middle-aged policeman lay on the ground and hugged his head, and the young policeman also looked ashamed.

  These American devils really dare to shoot, even if they kill the police, it is estimated that they will serve in another place.

   On July 15, 1939, two U.S. troops went ashore drinking heavily and beat passers-by in Yangjiaqiao, Sichuan, seriously injuring two people and more than 20 lightly.

  On July 31, 1940, two tung oil carriers (wooden boats) of the Ministry of Finance traveled to Longmen Haoshui Pier, one of which was washed back by the turbulent current and collided with the USS “Lanaway”. The U.S. ship did not cause any damage, but the captain of the ship ordered the sailors to destroy the two wooden ships of the Ministry of Finance and the oil barrels loaded with tung oil.

   On May 31, 1942, two American soldiers seriously injured a Chinese man on Guihua Street in Chongqing and threatened onlookers with guns. The police stood by and dared not step forward to deal with it.

  The U.S. military stationed in China has made a “prosperous name” in China through repeated crimes. In the above three cases, the U.S. military involved was not held accountable, even if they killed the Chinese.

   The most chilling case for the Chinese police was on September 27 last year, when the US military passing through Shaoguan killed a woman and wounded a man. The Donghe Police Department in Shaoguan City arrested and interrogated the U.S. military responsible for the accident, and handed it over to the U.S. military court on the charge of manslaughter. The perpetrator did not have any trouble later, but the police station was punished. The reason for the punishment was that the city police station did not dissuade them in advance, nor did they deal with the neighboring residents on the spot.

   What’s more, the three U.S. troops in front of them were still driving jeeps, clearly showing that they were officers with status. The middle-aged policeman pulled the young policeman and walked away in a daze, not daring to look back at all.

   Seeing that all the Chinese people have been stunned, the US military sneered at the shooting, and dragged the female student into the car before leaving.

   “Stop for me!”

   Zhou Hexuan appeared at about the same time as the two policemen, so he had to speak out to stop him. He couldn’t just watch the schoolgirls being kidnapped, right?

  Sun Yongzhen, Sun Yonghao and Zhu Guozhen all drew their guns and aimed at the three American officers respectively.

   “It’s Mr. Zhou!” The young policeman looked back and was overjoyed. He broke free from the pull of the middle-aged policeman and ran back to the place where he started.

  The middle-aged policeman was stunned for a while, muttering “something is going to happen”, and flew back to the police station to report to the director.

  The three American officers looked at each other, and one of them felt that Zhou Hexuan was a little familiar. But they didn’t take it to heart. Anyway, Chinese people all look alike, so Zhou Hexuan might be a bureaucrat he had met before.

   “Sir, do you know what you’re doing? You let your subordinates point guns at the American officers!” An American sneered.

   Before Zhou Hexuan answered the call, the young policeman rushed forward. Thinking that he had a backer, he straightened his back immediately, reached out to the female student on the trailer, and said, “It’s a bastard, and you dare to be fierce in front of Mr. Zhou, I don’t know how high the sky is!”

“boom!”

   Just as the young policeman was about to drag the schoolgirl out of the car, the gun rang, and the American shot.

   The young policeman looked down at his abdomen, and suddenly covered the bleeding wound and said, “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m going to back this time! It hurts, it hurts!”

  Sun Yongzhen, Sun Yonghao, and Zhu Guozhen were all dumbfounded. They didn’t dare to shoot, and they didn’t expect the other party to shoot. They didn’t know what to do for a while.

   The Yankee who shot the shot raised his **** at Zhou Hexuan, then whistled and started the car, mocking: “Hey, man, do you dare to let your subordinates shoot at me?”

   Zhou Hexuan’s face was ashen with anger, and he gritted his teeth and roared, “Hit me! Kill me and I’ll be responsible!”

  The Sun brothers and Zhu Guozhen really didn’t dare to shoot. They rushed over quickly, picked up their pistols and smashed them on the heads of the three Americans. The other party was fearless and without any precautions, and was immediately smashed into the eyes of gold stars. One of them started the jeep subconsciously and hit two pedestrians in a daze, while the other two Yanks were dragged out of the car and beaten.

   “Boom!”

   The guy who was about to run away in his car suddenly plunged into the crater after rushing out of the crowd. It was the crater left by the Japanese bombing, nearly two meters deep, and there was a wooden pole symbolizing the spiritual fortress in the center.

   “What are you still doing? Hurry up!” Zhou Hexuan started to mobilize the masses.

   Those passersby were originally scared, but now with Zhou Hexuan taking the lead, they immediately rushed to vent their anger. Twenty or thirty people dragged the American officers out of the jeep and kicked them recklessly. When the chief of the police station arrived, the three Yankees were bruised and dying.

   “Don’t move… Alas, don’t run! Don’t run!” As soon as the director appeared, the crowd who started beating people immediately dispersed.

   Zhou Hexuan sneered: “This police officer, you are late.”

The director    said with a sad face: “Mr. Zhou, I’m afraid you have to come with me. Alas, I can’t be the director anymore, and I will be beaten by the top.”

   A Yankee could still speak, he shouted: “I’m looking for the US military headquarters, I’m looking for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you all wait!”
