Chapter 22 On the Execution Ground

In an open space in the city of Kabul, dense crowds surrounded the surrounding area, and Afghan government policemen desperately pushed the crowded crowd out with sticks. Seryozha led his men to stand guard near the center of the field. Behind them were two wheeled armored personnel carriers with machine guns mounted on them aimed at the surrounding crowd. As long as there was any sign of something wrong, Seryozha would immediately Order your men to shoot.

In the center of the open space was a high platform, on which were ten gallows, and behind the gallows were several trucks full of prisoners. At the moment Seryozha was drinking coffee in the driver's cab wearing dark glasses. There is no way that the weather is too cold, everyone can only take turns to keep warm in the car.

Since that day, Seryozha consulted Lebed about training issues, and Seryozha has accepted some work with the Afghan government forces. Today's task is also of a similar nature, cooperating with the Afghan government forces to maintain order in the execution ground.

Some of these prisoners today are captured fighters, some are spies hiding in the city of Kabul, and some are prisoners who have committed other crimes. Because of the existence of these fighters and spies, today's mission has a certain degree of danger. However, in order to achieve the purpose of deterrence, the Kabul government insisted on the public execution of these prisoners, and set up the execution ground in Kabul city.

The time for execution came soon, and the prisoners were brought to the execution ground one after another. Sergey slowly walked out of the cockpit, facing the scene to watch the bloody scene that was about to happen. I don't know when Yuri also walked up to Seryozha, and handed Seryozha a cigarette.

"Oh my God, they are still using medieval torture tools, why don't they give those guys a good time?" Yuri took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Seryozha.

"I don't know, maybe bullets are more expensive than human lives!" Serezha said with emotion. As a traveler, he knows the fate of this country. This country is still at war until the next century, and it is not known how many more lives will be lost in the days to come.

Following the order of the executioner, ten prisoners were brought to the high platform, and the crowd below boiled, but Seryozha could not understand what the onlookers were saying. The soldiers under him also had no intention of working, and turned around to look at the high platform one after another.

The noose was quickly put around the necks of the ten prisoners. The executioner said something to the crowd. Seryozha couldn't understand what he said, but Seryozha probably declared the crimes of these people .

After the execution officer finished speaking, the military police stood behind the prisoners and began to turn the winch behind them. The prisoners' bodies were gradually hoisted into the air, and there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd in the audience. Seryozha originally thought that there would be a movable flap mechanism under the feet of these prisoners that would be suddenly opened. In this way, these mortals would die from the fracture of the neck bone caused by the sharp fall, and this method of death would be less painful. But obviously the person who designed the torture device thought it would be better to be hoisted up slowly.

The hanged prisoners soon began to struggle due to suffocation. Unfortunately, the more they struggled, the more uncomfortable they became. The ten hanged prisoners began to shake their bodies and kick around. After a while, the struggle gradually became smaller, and they began to twitch involuntarily, and the twitch gradually disappeared, and ten lifeless corpses began to float in the air with the wind.

The military police behind the gallows let go of the winch in their hands, and ten corpses fell heavily to the ground. Soon the military police untied the noose around the necks of the corpses and dragged them aside. Immediately afterwards, another ten prisoners were brought to the high platform.

Seryozha and his men were stunned. Seryozha didn't even know when the cigarette in his mouth would fall. This kind of execution process filled with the dark style of the Middle Ages was so shocking that Seryosha even felt that he had a little difficulty breathing.

The cruel scene is still being staged continuously, more and more prisoners died, and the corpses were photographed in a long row and displayed in front of the onlookers.

Seryosha felt that the bloody wind on the battlefield was not so terrible compared with today's scene.

How the Afghan government forces treat those fighters is how those fighters treat government prisoners. It is a pity that more and more Afghans support and sympathize with the war fighters, while fewer and fewer support the pro-Soviet Afghan government. Even if the government forces publicly execute these fighters in a brutal way, it still cannot change this.

Just when Seryozha thought that hanging was the limit of cruelty, the executioners at the scene refreshed Seryozha's cognition again. Another group of prisoners was brought up, and Seryozha was surprised that there were men and women in this group.

The executioner began to introduce something to the crowd again, and the military police who originally controlled the winch left the high platform. He took the shovel and walked to the front, and then began to dig a pit on the ground that could only accommodate one person.

"Do you think they want to bury these people alive?" Yuri asked, frowning.

"I don't know!" replied Seryozha, also frowning.

Soon, the military police stopped digging. The military police behind escorted the prisoner and threw him into the pit. The pit was not deep, just reaching the prisoner's chest. This group of prisoners were all men. I saw those prisoners struggling fiercely with tears in their eyes. Seryozha still did not understand what they were up to. However, they cannot intervene in the work of the Afghan government, which is strictly required by Lebed.

The struggle of those prisoners was useless, the soil was backfilled little by little, these prisoners were planted in the pit, only the part above the chest was exposed on the ground, the military police guarding the crowd outside made a gap, and it was very easy Soon an angry crowd rushed in, each of them holding a stone in his hand.

The military police still did not allow the people who rushed in to touch the prisoners who were planted on the ground, and the people who rushed in threw stones at these people one after another. This scene was so cruel that Seryozha couldn't stand it any longer, and he turned back to the car. Yuri couldn't stand it anymore, he turned around, and also turned around Mikhail who was dumbfounded.

Seryozha called the interpreter of the Soviet army, and asked, "This is too inhumane, who are these people?"

"These are people who committed rape and rape. According to Afghan law, they can be executed with honor by the relatives of the victims!" The translator was a local Russian-speaking person provided by the Afghan government army, so he naturally knew these things very well.

The horrifying screams soon stopped, and another group of prisoners were brought up. The military and police had already prepared their pits. Seryozha glanced casually, and this time they were all women. Just when Seryozha was about to harden his heart and continue ignoring him, a cry of "Help!" was suddenly heard from among the prisoners, and Seryozha immediately turned around. Help is in Russian.
