Chapter 1645 Iron-blooded Heart
Unable to resist, Elder Xie was forced to swallow the pills and said bitterly:
“You two women will ruin the Empire’s espionage operations in Chongqing.”
Ono Kikuko sneered, "If I can control you, I can achieve great things just as well."
Before long, Xie Yuanlao's medication took effect, and he felt as if he were dying.
He knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss Xiang! Give me an antidote."
Shen Xia sneered, "I can give you the antidote, but from now on you must pledge allegiance to the Aoki Sect, and report all intelligence to me and Miss Kikuko first."
Elder Xie hurriedly replied, "Alright! From now on, I will only serve the Green Wood Sect."
Shen Xia satisfiedly stuffed an antidote into his mouth and instructed:
"Find out who the commander of the Eighth Route Army's Luxi Special Task Force is as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
Elder Xie hurriedly accepted the order.
Under the cover of night, flames soared into the sky over Zhougezhuang.
Doihara Hamaru held a Japanese soldier who had been beaten to death by villagers and wailed loudly.
Needless to say, he did this to demonstrate his hypocritical love for his soldiers.
Ninagawa Seimon suggested, "Sir, let's dance the Awa Odori!"
Doihara Hamaji put down the dead Japanese soldier and loudly ordered:
"Before we start dancing, let's kill all the remaining Chinese."
Xiaoqi hurriedly advised, "General! They are just elderly people and children. In order to demonstrate the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere,' please let them go."
Doihara Hamaru scolded, "If we let them go, wouldn't the Imperial Warriors have died in vain?"
Xiaoqi argued forcefully, "But what crime have these elderly people and children committed? How are you any different from a butcher in doing this?"
Enraged, Doihara Hama pointed at him and roared, "Baka! Get out—!"
"Alas! Why be so cruel?"
Xiao Qi sighed, turned around, mounted his horse, and headed south.
Doihara Hamaji shouted, "Masashi! Fire!"
Takahashi Kosei laughed loudly: "Yosh! Machine gun fire!"
"Da-da! Da-da-da!"
The sound of machine guns rang out, accompanied by the howls of the Japanese soldiers.
Hundreds of elderly people and children in Zhougezhuang fell in pools of blood.
Xiaoqi's eyes were filled with tears. She dared not look back and ran wildly south until she reached the Mushui River.
A small squad of Japanese soldiers responsible for guarding the warhorses were gathered around a campfire, grilling fish and drinking tea.
Xiao Qi stepped forward, shook the two gourds laced with sleeping potion, and laughed:
“Drinking tea is so boring, come on! Everyone, have some of the good wine from the owner of Zhougezhuang Village.”
The Japanese squad leader poured out his tea and said urgently, "Yosh! Pour me some first."
"Gentlemen! Let's all sing together!"
Xiao Qi said with a grin that she poured a little into each of the Japanese soldiers' cups.
The Japanese soldiers had no idea he was an infiltrator, and they drank the wine together.
Zhougezhuang, the landlord's bedroom.
Hiroshi Doihara lay on his bed, gnawing on a chicken leg.
Takahashi Kosei lay on the sofa, grinning, and said, "General! Your appearance reminds me of a certain animal."
Doihara Hama asked curiously, "What animal?"
Takahashi Kosei shouted, "Pig—!"
"idiot!"
Enraged, Doihara Hama roared and suddenly leaped up like a carp.
"Crack!"
The gums collapsed, and the floor underneath was smashed through.
Tsuchihara Hiroki fell straight down into the tunnel under the bed.
"Boom! Boom!"
A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, and the ground shook instantly.
Ninagawa Seimon rushed in, shouting, "General, something terrible has happened! The Eighth Route Army has launched a barrage of artillery fire, attacking from the east, west, and south. We're doomed!"
Takahashi Kosei pointed to the tunnel and said, "Saiemon! Your general has fallen into the tunnel. Go down and check on him quickly."
"There are tunnels too?"
Ninagawa Seiemon exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly walked to the entrance of the tunnel.
"Boom!" a sound.
A shell landed on the roof.
"what--!"
Ninagawa Seiemon and Takahashi Kosei were hit by bricks, screamed, and fell into the tunnel.
Inside the tunnel, Doihara Hamaru was pointing a gun at the landlord's family when he was hit by the two men and knocked unconscious.
The landlord's family of ten shouted, turned around and fled, running deep into the tunnel.
Takahashi Kosei roared in fury, "Baka! You knocked out the general and you still dare to run away?"
At the same time, he slapped Hiroshi Doihara awake.
Hearing the commotion above and seeing Ninagawa Seiemon, Doihara Hamaru exclaimed urgently:
"Saiemon! What happened up there?"
Ninagawa Seimon cried and said, "General! With the Eighth Route Army firing a hundred cannons at once, attacking from the southeast, west and south, our entire army has been wiped out."
"what?!"
Doihara Hamako was so angry that he fainted again.
Takahashi Osaka said helplessly, "Ninagawa-kun! Let's drag the general away."
"What a pig-headed general who loses every battle."
Ninagawa Seiemon shook his head and, together with Takahashi Kosei, pulled up Doihara Kenji.
Doihara Hamaru woke up again and cried out, "This is bad! The Eighth Route Army is attacking like this, they're obviously here to steal our warhorses. Quick! We need to get to Muhe."
Takahashi Kosei said with a wry smile, "What's the point of going? Escaping is the priority."
Ninagawa Nishimon sighed, "Alas! We'll only be throwing our lives away if we go. The Eighth Route Army left an opening to the north, so let's go out through the tunnel and escape north."
"To prevent the Chinese people from informing on us, quickly chase after them and kill them!"
With a roar, Doihara Hamaru drew his pistol and ran into the depths of the tunnel.
Zhougezhuang became a graveyard for Japanese soldiers.
A hundred cannons fired simultaneously, raining down shells, some of which contained poison gas.
The vast majority of Japanese soldiers went to hell in their sleep, completely unaware of what was happening.
A small number of Japanese soldiers fled in panic to the north, where there was no sound of gunfire.
Mu He, Lü Zheng, and Liu Sen led a battalion from the Third Battalion up the mountain.
Nearly two thousand warhorses are sleeping peacefully in their enclosures by the river.
A handsome young man sat by the campfire, drinking alone.
Guns and ammunition were piled up nearby, and Japanese soldiers lay scattered on the ground.
There were more than 50 Japanese soldiers on the ground, all of whom were dead.
It was obvious that all the Japanese soldiers were killed by this young boy.
The Eighth Route Army recruits had never seen such an amazing person before, and they were all stunned.
"Seventh Brother! You're amazing!"
Liu Sen cheered and ran forward.
Xiao Qi stood up and hugged him, laughing, "Ah Sen! With so many horses, you only have five hundred people? That doesn't seem like enough."
Liu Sen pointed at Lü Zheng, whose face was filled with excitement and shock, and laughed:
"Seventh Brother! This is your father."
With a choked voice, Lü Zheng cried out, "My little one!"
Xiao Qi looked at Lü Zheng, unable to accept it for a moment.
Liu Sen laughed and said, "Uncle Lü! Seventh Brother! Let's take the warhorses back to Tushan first. The commander-in-chief is waiting to transport supplies."
Lü Zheng nodded and said, "Alright! You two take the warhorses back to Tushan immediately."
Xiao Qi shook her head and said, "No! I haven't been exposed yet, I still need to stay hidden."
Lu Zheng said urgently, "My son! We bombarded Zhougezhuang with a hundred cannons and besieged it from three sides. Doihara Hiroshi and his Japanese troops have been completely wiped out in Zhougezhuang. If you run back, you will not escape death."
Xiao Qi said thoughtfully, "Our army is besieging us from the east, west, and south. There must still be Japanese soldiers escaping from the north. Since the boss hasn't revoked the order to go into hiding, and the war of resistance is not yet won, I must continue to go into hiding."
After saying this, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and ran eastward.
As Lü Zheng watched his retreating figure, he sighed, "Alas! This child is truly devoted and loyal."
