The clouds were blown away by the wind, the sun emerged from the clouds, and the air became hot.

There are overgrown weeds beside the dirt road.

About a squadron of Japanese soldiers escorted seven or eight hundred prisoners of war on foot to the north.

These prisoners of war were dejected and ragged, with a look of deathly silence and despair in their eyes.

Akimoto Akimoto was sitting in the co-pilot of the truck, leaning on his saber, closing his eyes and concentrating. At this time, he was in a very bad mood.

Originally, he personally approached Commander Tada Shun to request to lead troops to the front line, but Tada Shun refused and was given the task of escorting prisoners of war.

Is escorting prisoners of war what Imperial Japanese soldiers are supposed to do?

I just want to lead my troops to the battlefield and kill all the Chinese soldiers. What's wrong with that?

The truck was driving very slowly, which made Akamoto Mingyi feel even more irritable.

An injured prisoner of war in front fell to the ground due to exhaustion. Two Japanese soldiers went up to take a look.

Pfft——

Pfft——

Two sharp bayonets were inserted into the chests of the prisoners of war, stabbed to death with the bayonets, and then thrown to the roadside, where their bodies were thrown directly into the wilderness.

There was a prisoner of war who was walking too slowly. The Japanese soldiers rushed up and beat him severely. The butts of their rifles hit his flesh with a dull thud.

Even a prisoner of war's resentful look made the Japanese soldier unhappy, and he was shot dead.

Akamoto Mingyi was sitting in the truck and saw all this, but he turned a blind eye.

He hated these Chinese soldiers, especially the Eighth Route Army who had humiliated him and made him nailed to the pillar of shame.

Although the base camp asked him to return to Manchuria, he still decided to stay in Jin Province and wait for the opportunity to kill all Tubal Road.

He has already heard from the top brass of the North China Front that after the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain is over, he will send all his troops to deal with Tubal Road in North China and completely end the security war.

At that time, he will personally lead an elite force to defeat Li Yunlong's independent regiment and wash away the shame!

There was originally a brigade of Japanese troops accompanying Akamoto Akira to protect him, but due to the tight fighting on the eastern front, the other two squadrons were temporarily removed and sent to the battlefield.

The truck suddenly stopped, Akamoto Akira suddenly opened his eyes, and the entire team stopped.

Akamoto Mingyi asked in a deep voice: "What happened? Why did you stop moving forward?"

"Your Highness!" said the Japanese driver in the driver's seat, "something seems to have happened ahead."

Could it be that the prisoners of war are causing trouble?

Akamoto Mingyi opened the car door and stepped out, holding the saber and walking forward with a gloomy face.

After walking a few steps, the squadron leader led a Japanese soldier up to him.

"Report to His Highness the Prince!" the squadron leader paused and said, "This soldier is from the Jiangxian Gendarmerie. He said he made a major discovery in the front!"

This Japanese soldier is naturally a member of Langya King’s Gensheng squad.

Because Akamoto Mingyi has met Chen Feng, Duan Peng, Wang Gensheng and others, naturally he cannot let them take action.

However, this team member's Japanese is not bad, he is also smart, and he has no problem handling simple Japanese communication.

Akamoto Mingyi asked suspiciously: "What did you find?"

"Report to His Highness the Prince!"

The soldier held a handful of 38-gauge caps. He first showed an expression of surprise, then straightened his body, paused and said: "My partner and I were just on a patrol and search mission, and found a Chinese army of more than 200 people in the mountain col ahead!

"

Akamoto Mingyi asked: "What is your name and what part does it belong to?"

The soldier immediately replied: "My name is Kato Ichiro, and I belong to the Jiangxian County Gendarmerie!"

Akamoto Mingyi asked: "Where are your teammates?"

The soldier replied: "This group of Chinese troops is very powerful. They quietly eliminated all my teammates. I escaped because of my urination. I was about to return to the county town to find reinforcements when I met His Highness the Prince!"

Akamoto Mingyi's expression changed, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Judging from the soldier's appearance, he didn't seem to be lying.

Could this enemy be the Chinese army that attacked Yuncheng Airport?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is that it is a strong combat force, resting during the day and marching at night, which is perfectly consistent with the China Army.

This Chinese army was so fast that it fled to the Jiangxian area in less than a day.

And those stupid commanders are probably still analyzing randomly now.

As Prince Akamoto Akiyoshi, of course he knew a lot more than other Japanese military officers.

For example, inside information such as the fall of Yuncheng Airport, the commander of the 41st Division, Goro Mano, was killed by an aerial bomb, and the entire 132nd Regiment of the 37th Division was shattered.

Akamoto Mingyi secretly thought, since you have been met by this prince, then you, the Chinese army, are in bad luck.

As long as this Chinese army can be destroyed, it will be a great achievement and wash away the previous shame!

"Kato Ichiro, you don't need to go back to the county town to bring reinforcements." Akamoto Mingyi said with invincible confidence, "I, the prince, will destroy this Chinese army!"

After a pause, Akamoto Mingyi said: "Squadron Captain!"

The Japanese squadron leader paused and said: "Hi! Please give me your instructions, Your Highness the Prince!"

"Gather the soldiers immediately!" Akamoto Mingyi ordered, "You lead half a squad to guard these prisoners of war, and I will lead the troops to destroy this Chinese army!"

"Your Highness!" The squadron leader looked surprised and said hurriedly, "You should stay here and let me take the soldiers. I will chop off the head of the commander of the China Army and give it to you!"

"No need!" Akamoto Mingyi said proudly, "I will personally chop off his head and give it to Uncle Tada Shun!"

"Hi!" The prince said so, and the squadron leader knew that he was still forcing him to do so, so he was somewhat ignorant.

"All soldiers gather!"

Following the squadron leader's order, the Japanese soldiers escorting the prisoners of war immediately ran over and lined up to assemble.

"Kato Ichiro!" Akamoto Akiyoshi immediately ordered, "lead the way from the front!"

Kato Ichiro paused and said: "Hi!"

Immediately, the Japanese troops on the 1780th, led by Ichiro Kato, turned in from a small road beside the highway.

This group of Japanese soldiers can be regarded as Akamoto Akiyoshi's bodyguards, elite troops selected from the Japanese ninth brigade.

After walking for two miles, we arrived at a dense forest with lush branches and leaves.

Akamoto Mingyi asked: "Kato Ichiro, how far is it?"

"Report to Your Highness the Prince!" Kato Ichiro said immediately, "There is still about 1 kilometer left, just behind the mountain ahead."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the distant mountains ahead, Akamoto Akira turned around and nodded: "Yoshi, don't make any noise, act quietly!"

Taking advantage of the moment Akamoto Akihiro turned around, Kato Ichiro suddenly took action, pulled out the military spur hidden in his clothes, strangled Akamoto Akihiro with one hand, and pressed the general spur between Akamoto Akihito's neck with the other hand.

This sudden scene frightened the Japs present. They pulled the bolts of their guns and pointed their guns at Akimoto Akihiro and Kato Ichiro.

"Baga!" A trace of fear appeared on Akamoto Mingyi's face, and he asked sternly, "Kato Ichiro, what are you doing?"

"Remember, my name is not Kato Ichiro."

"My name is Hu Yongqiang!"

General Hu Yongqiang stabbed forward, and the sharp tip of the knife made a red dot appear on Akamoto Mingyi's neck.

"Baga, let go of His Highness the Prince!"

"Bagaya road!"

"Dead, dead!"

The Japanese held their rifles in shock, and cursed one after another.

Hu Yongqiang was not afraid at all, and even showed a sneer. If the chief of staff had not ordered to capture the Japs Prince alive, he would have stabbed him through the head in one go.

The Japs were all focused on Akamoto Mingyi and Hu Yongqiang, and did not notice the black muzzles of a dozen light machine guns and more than a hundred submachine guns quietly protruding from the dense forest on one side.

Gunfire, as dense as exploding beans, suddenly rang out.

More than a hundred tongues of fire shot out from among the dense branches.

The Japs reacted extremely quickly. They reacted the moment the gun was fired and turned around to shoot.

But before the Japs could shoot, with the rain of bullets, nearly 200 Japs on the path were shot in an instant, twitching, and fell to the ground like mowing grass.

After all the bullets in the light machine guns and submachine guns were fired, there were no Japanese left standing except for Akamoto Akiyoshi.

Japanese soldiers and officers were lying on the ground in a mess, most of them were beaten into honeycombs of blood. Some Japanese soldiers did not die on the spot, but were still lying there twitching.

Akamoto Mingyi looked at this scene with a look of disbelief and fear in his eyes.

No matter how stupid he was, Akamoto Akira knew he was being ambushed.

Damn it, I was so carried away by the military exploits that I didn't carefully investigate this Kato Ichiro, and fell into a conspiracy.

But it's too late to say anything now.
