early morning.

Outside Yushe County, Heidao United Race Course.

Akimoto Akimoto wears a yellow woolen war robe and has a saber with chrysanthemums engraved on his waist.

Behind him, more than thirty Kwantung Army cavalry, also wearing yellow woolen coats, stood proudly.

Masao Kono, the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, stood by his side on horseback with a respectful look on his face.

Right in front of Akamoto Akiyoshi, Kono Masao, and the Japanese cavalry, kneeling were more than a dozen tied up Eighth Route Army soldiers. Their bodies were bloody and bloody, and they had obviously suffered inhuman beatings and torture.

They were dressed in ordinary people's clothes, with almost no serious military uniforms. They were all sallow and thin, with a malnourished look on their faces.

"Yano-kun, it's hard to imagine that our soldiers are fighting against these beggars."

Akamoto Mingyi looked at the group of arrested people with disdain. These people could not even be called soldiers.

"Your Highness," Masao Yano said after a slight pause, "These people are just so-called guerrillas and militia, not the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The main force of the Eighth Route Army is not weak in combat effectiveness."

"Of course I know this." Akamoto Mingyi said, "But Yano-kun, it has been 10 days since the checkpoint was attacked. Have you found the main force of the Eighth Route Army?"

"This..." Masao Yano was confused, "The Taihang Mountains area has a large and complex terrain. It is difficult for our cavalry regiment to find the location of the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

Akamoto Mingyi smiled and said nothing, raised his hand and waved. The Kwantung Army adjutant beside him paused, then rode his horse and walked behind the prisoner.

The adjutant had a stern look on his face and gave the order in Japanese: "Let go of the six!"

Immediately, the Japanese came forward and untied the ropes tied to the hands of the six prisoners, and asked the prisoners to stand up.

A traitor shouted:

"Taijun said that as long as you tell the location of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, you will be spared."

"Cooperate with the imperial army, enjoy good life, be promoted and make a fortune, and reach the pinnacle of life."

"There is only one way left for you to go against the imperial army, and that is death."

The six prisoners listened to the traitor's words and stood there proudly with expressions of disdain on their faces.

This attitude immediately angered Akamoto Akiyoshi's adjutant. With a wave of his hand, the Japanese took the prisoners away from the open area, leaving only six prisoners standing there.

The prisoners looked around and suddenly showed unpleasant expressions on their faces. The Japanese all retreated dozens of meters away.

"run!"

The six prisoners shouted in a low voice, then turned away from Yushe County and ran towards the road with all their strength.

Akamoto Mingyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a sneer on his face, and waved towards the Kwantung Army cavalry.

More than a dozen Kwantung Army cavalrymen had fierce looks on their faces. They slowly drew their sabers, clamped their horses' legs and then galloped after the escaping prisoners.

When the prisoners heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, their expressions changed drastically and they began to run away.

But how could the legs outrun the cavalry? In about a minute, the prisoners were overtaken and killed by the Kwantung Army cavalry.

This scene directly made the remaining prisoners turn pale, looking at these cavalry with obvious hatred on their faces.

Akamoto Mingyi drew his saber, pointed at Yano's throat and said: "In all human wars, infantry has never defeated cavalry. If you can't hit me with the first shot, the saber will be gone before you can fire the second shot."

Slit your throat."

"According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area does not have large-scale cavalry, so the Black Island Cavalry Regiment is invincible here."

Yano Masao paused slightly and said: "Your Highness, what you said makes sense."

Even though he was not too fond of Akamoto, Masao Yano had no choice but to agree. After all, his immediate boss, Colonel Kuroshima Morita, respected Akimoto Akimoto.

Looking at the prisoners who fell under the sabers of the Kwantung Army cavalry, Akamoto Mingyi's face did not waver at all.

He didn't believe that these troops, who were not even considered motley crew, were not even afraid of death under his saber.

"continue!"

"Hi!" Akamoto's adjutant paused and ordered the release of the next group of prisoners.

In the same process, the prisoners did not speak and ran for their lives in front, while the cavalry chased them behind.

After two waves of killings, only three prisoners were left, and Akamoto Akira once again ordered the prisoners to be released.

The traitor translator started shouting the same words to persuade them to surrender again. The three prisoners' faces were livid, with hatred in their eyes, and they still... remained silent.

Akamoto Mingyi held a saber and galloped over on a war horse.

The three prisoners stood there motionless, not because they were frightened, but because they knew that even running away would be useless.

It is better to die generously than to waste your efforts.

Akamoto Mingyi swung his sword twice to see the two prisoners dead. When he looked at the last prisoner, he deliberately released the water and the blade cut his clothes.

Although Akimoto Akihito was talking to Yano Masao, he was also observing secretly. The last prisoner's legs were shaking the most.

If your legs are shaking, it means you are scared. People who feel scared will risk their lives.

"Sorry, I missed it."

Akamoto Mingyi turned the horse's head, returned to the prisoner, and said in blunt Chinese with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, I will use the knife very quickly and I won't cause you any pain."

After saying this, Akamoto Akira raised the saber in his hand high.

At this time, the prisoner's defense seemed to have been completely defeated, and he knelt on the ground with a painful expression, his nose and tears flowing out.

"I am willing to cooperate with the Imperial Army."

"I'll tell you everything you want to know."

"Please don't kill me."

"I know where the main force of the Eighth Route Army is."

Seeing that the prisoner finally surrendered, Akamoto suddenly showed a proud expression on his face.

This kind of control over everything, playing with people's hearts between claps, filled his heart with a perverted sense of satisfaction.

When he was in Manchukuo, Akamoto Mingyi used this method to make the prisoners surrender, and he never failed.

"well!"

Akamoto Akira took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on the saber, and then put it back into the scabbard.

Then he waved his hand, and two Japanese soldiers walked towards him, wanting to take away the prisoner.

However, from an angle that Akamoto Mingyi could not see, the prisoner's gaze swept across the corpses of his comrades.

The eyes are full of hatred, murderous intent, and cruelty!

Akamoto Mingyi turned his horse's head and prepared to walk towards the adjutant and Masao Yano.

The subsequent interrogation does not require him to take part in person.

However, just as Akamoto Mingyi turned around, the prisoner kneeling on the ground suddenly rose up.

In a few steps, he ran behind the horse, dragged Akamoto Mingyi's right leg, and violently pulled him off the horse.

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

Even Kuroshima Morita, who was standing on the city wall of Yushe County and observing the movement closely with binoculars, was shocked.

Anyone can die, but this ancestor must not die. If he is going to die, then Kuroshima Morita will not be able to survive.
