    Before Zhang Xian could serve Chief Chen in courting the mainland's elite, the summons from the Executive Director of Military Law had already arrived in his hands. Just as Chief Sun had expected, after more than three months of preparation, the Military Law Department finally wanted to  A trial was held on the case of the commander of the 57th Division, Luo Da, who abandoned his troops and escaped, and Zhang Xian became the most important witness.

    The Ministry of Military Justice organized a court in Chongqing. The presiding judge was General Zhang Zhizhong, the director of the Political Department and a well-known military figure. The jurors also included Major General Zheng Qingshan from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Commission, as well as members of the Military Commission, deputy chief of staff, and members of the Senate.  Senior officials from several departments can imagine how seriously the chairman of the committee takes this case.  And this case has attracted the attention of countless people, especially officers in the national army.

    Military trials are different from civil trials in that spectators are not allowed. Therefore, although many people are watching the trial, there are only a few people who can actually enter the trial court. Those who can reach the scene are all related to this case.  Relevant people to contact.  Zhang Xian had the honor to appear as a witness in the first trial, and at the same time, Su Zhengtao, commander of the 57th Division, and Wang Hui, commander of the 74th Army. General Sun Zhong, as the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Theater, originally also  He wanted to attend the preliminary hearing, but because he couldn't get away, he appointed Staff Officer Guo Wan to represent the Sixth War Zone as a jury member.

    *********************

    Zhang Xian arrived at the scene early, and Su Zhengtao was already sitting in the witness box on the right hand side of this solemn trial hall, even earlier than him.  He was about to say hello to Captain Su. After all, the two of them had not seen each other for some time. Just as they greeted each other, General Zhang Zhizhong had already led the judges into the hall and sat down respectively.  The courtroom immediately fell silent, and Zhang Xian and Su Zhengtao could only hold back many words in their hearts.  Zhang Xian also sat down on the witness stand, next to Su Zhengtao and others.  He turned to look at the jury next to him, and was looking into Guo Wan's eyes. Guo Shenzuo nodded to him, and he also nodded to the old boss as a greeting.  Turning around again, he faced Commander Wang Hui again, and the two men nodded and passed by.

    Seeing that everyone is already in place, the presiding judge, General Zhang Zhizhong, announced the opening of the court, and then led the prisoner Luo Da.

    When he saw Roda again, Zhang Xian felt as if he was seeing another person.  Commander Luo was brought up by the military police. His face was haggard and his body had lost a lot of weight. The yellow woolen Major General uniform that used to be very fitting now seemed much wider when he was wearing it, and it could not move as he moved around.  Stop; the collar badges and chest badges on his clothes have been taken off, and those things that symbolize his identity are of no use at this time.  He must have not had a haircut for a while. His hair looked very long and messy, and the beard on his face had not been shaved. His lips and chin were connected, which made his face even more thin.  His complexion was sallow. In the past three or four months, whether he was under house arrest or in jail, he must have suffered a great mental blow.  There were no shackles on his hands and feet, but he was escorted by two fully armed soldiers behind him. He walked out of the prison car, walked through the long passage, and walked into the trial hall.  There were many armed soldiers on both sides of the passage. In fact, the entire inside and outside of the trial hall were guarded by these soldiers. Even without torture tools, the prisoners would definitely not be able to escape.

    Mr. Luo walked slowly past the witness box, and his heavy steps seemed to step on Zhang Xian's heart, which made him extremely sad.  When Rhoda turned her head and met his eyes, the two people could not communicate with each other through words, but they could express greetings to each other with their eyes.  Zhang Xian's eyes were red and moistened unconsciously.  Roda saw the tears in his eyes, but smiled at him. At this moment, Zhang Xian clearly saw the tears in his eyes.

    Ever since the battle of Changde, when Luo Da led his troops to break through, and then Zhang Xian was seriously injured, he had never seen this officer again. But now we meet here, and in this kind of environment, which makes people feel sad.  Heartbroken in vain.

    The presiding judge was not an unreasonable person. Zhang Zhizhong was a famous Confucian general in the national army. He asked the guards to place a chair in the middle of the hall and did not let Roda stand.  Roda bowed to the judges sitting above, as if he were a real prisoner, with a good attitude, and then slowly sat on the chair.

    The opening remarks of the trial were all interviews, asking nothing more than name, age, resume, etc.  Roda answered honestly, looking very calm.

    Finally, the presiding judge began the formal interrogation.  General Zhang Zhizhong looked serious and asked in a majestic tone: "Luoda, during the battle of Changde, is it true that you escaped from the battle?"

    Rhoda raised her head, looked at him, and nodded, which was regarded as recognition.

    Zhang Xian and Su Zhengtao were both stunned. They did not expect that Mr. Luo would take the initiative to plead guilty as soon as they came up. If he really wanted to commit this crime, then he would really have no choice but to follow what the commission said and mustIf you fight to the death, there will be no victory.  As their division commander, although I have the responsibility and moral authority to assign them the task of dying, I, as the division commander myself, should also be able to perform the task of dying. This is like a contract signed by both parties.  contract, but I failed to fulfill this contract.  It was me who broke trust with my brothers, so the commission was right. If you don't kill me, Roda, it won't be enough to teach others a lesson.  "

    The presiding judge nodded and said at the same time: "What you just said is just the reproach of your conscience and does not constitute a crime against military regulations."

    Rhoda looked up at him and naturally understood what he meant.

    "I also want to know why you abandoned your troops?" The presiding judge asked again: "You have to know that even if you lead your troops to break through and leave some personnel to cover the rear, most of the people should break through and only a small number of people can be left behind.  Some people. But in fact, after Changde City was recaptured, it was discovered that there were more than 300 remaining members of the 57th Division in the city, and they were all still resisting the enemy and were basically wounded. According to your previous statement,  You led your troops to break through with only 300 people. In fact, only 83 people actually broke through the siege and survived. In other words, your breakout did not give everyone more chances of survival, but instead increased the risk of survival.  Casualties. In addition, the ones you left must be wounded soldiers who cannot be taken away, so you are guilty of abandoning wounded soldiers. How do you explain these?"

    This is indeed a serious crime, enough for Rhoda to be shot.

    Roda's voice was a little hoarse, and she was no longer willing to argue. She smiled miserably, shook her head, and said guiltily: "I don't have anything to say. Now I can only say that I did not stay to deal with the enemy personally and risk my life."  I gave myself the opportunity, which is my shame!¡±

    "Report! I have something to say!" Zhang Xian suddenly raised his hand and shouted to the presiding judge.  This time, he learned to behave and was not as impulsive as before.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
