The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1354: People are panicked (second update)

After hearing the threats from the little Japs, more than a hundred Japanese Japs all had confused expressions on their faces.

In the past two days, they had indeed been attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

But it was only encountered once, and the Eighth Route Army was repulsed by machine gun fire not long after it appeared.

Therefore, even if the Eighth Route Army did escape from the encirclement, it would be impossible to break through from them.

Because except for that brief raid, they never saw an Eighth Route Army soldier in the following operations, let alone liaised with the Eighth Route Army and let them leave the encirclement.

But the little Japanese military policeman didn't know about this.

Of course, even if they knew they would not let this gang of puppet Manchurian troops go easily.

In their bunker, the Kwantung Army participating in the sweep will definitely not have any problems.

They are all our own people, with strong combat effectiveness and well-equipped equipment. There is no way they can let the Eighth Route Army leave the encirclement.

Based on this analysis, the most likely target of suspicion is the puppet Manchurian Army in front of us.

Although they only fought against the Eighth Route Army once, it did not mean that none of them had private contact with the Eighth Route Army.

If some troops deliberately opened a gap during a sweep and patrol, the Eighth Route Army could easily pass through the blockade without encountering them and escape the encirclement that the more than 10,000 Kwantung Army had worked hard to build.

But this group of military police did not have any relevant evidence, and the investigation time given to them by Lieutenant General Yoshino was very limited. It would definitely be too late to investigate slowly.

The military police lieutenant who led the team decided to use the simplest method of "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys" to force out the culprit.

He saw more than a hundred puppet Manchurian troops whispering in front of him, but no one stood up.

The military police lieutenant quickly scanned the crowd with his eyes, looking for the chicken he wanted to kill.

Finally, his eyes were fixed on a squad leader with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. With a wave of his hand, two military police rushed into the crowd and brought out the squad leader of the Puppet Manchuria Army whom the captain was targeting.

"Taijun, please forgive me...I am not a spy..." The squad leader of the Puppet Manchuria Army was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and begged the military police for mercy with a look of panic on his face.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he immediately turned his hopeful eyes to the company commander and begged for mercy again: "Liancang..."

"I am loyal to the imperial army..."

"You all know that there is absolutely no way I would betray the imperial army. Please help me speak..."

The company commander of the Puppet Manchuria Army was also very anxious.

He didn't expect that the military police sent by the Kwantung Army started killing chickens to scare monkeys without finding anyone, and the chicken he wanted to kill was a very loyal subordinate to him, so he quickly begged for mercy from the military police second lieutenant...

"Taijun..."

"The man you captured is absolutely loyal to the imperial army and will never betray the imperial army. Otherwise, you should let him go..."

The military police second lieutenant didn't care about so much, he only believed in his own eyes.

He frowned and asked, "Baga...are you sure that the Eighth Route Army's escape from the encirclement really had nothing to do with him?"

"You have a saying in China: know people, know faces, but don't know hearts..."

"In case he has something to do with this matter, if you stand up to guarantee him now, you will lose your life because of it..."

The company commander fell silent for a moment.

Being able to become a company commander in the puppet Manchuria Army, his most powerful trick is to protect himself wisely and try not to touch things that may cause danger to himself.

The squad leader who was targeted by the gendarmerie was indeed loyal to him, but if he risked disobedience to the gendarmerie captain to vouch for him, it was obviously not cost-effective.

He immediately stepped back: "Taijun..."

"I won't pledge any more..."

"I will listen to you on how to deal with him..."

The gendarmerie captain reacted to the satisfaction of the puppet army commander.

He is at the bottom of the Jinzhou Military Police. Except for ordinary military police, any officer can bully him. At this moment, the puppet company commander's temporary change directly made him feel the feeling of being superior.

He immediately focused his attention on the squad leader he was targeting and asked sternly: "Did you secretly communicate with the Eighth Route Army and let them escape from the Kwantung Army's encirclement!"

The monitor almost burst into tears.

He didn't expect that he was so unlucky. Why did the Japanese in a team of more than a hundred people focus on him? He quickly explained: "Taijun, please calm down..."

"Even if you gave me ten courages, I wouldn't dare to have an affair with the Eighth Route Army..."

"I really have nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army's escape from the encirclement. Just let me go!"

The gendarmerie captain's purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys has not been achieved, and he will definitely not let go and continue asking just because of the other party's words.

"Since you didn't have an affair with the Eighth Route Army..."

"Then tell me... who in your company is the most suspect in having an affair with the Eighth Route Army?"

The squad leader quickly shook his head: "I don't even know about my humble position..."

"Anyway, I am loyal to the Imperial Army and will never betray the Imperial Army. I don't know if anyone in the company will betray the Imperial Army..."

"Do not……"

"Our company only fought against the Eighth Route Army once, and several soldiers died. We have never encountered the Eighth Route Army again, so it is impossible for anyone to have an affair with the Eighth Route Army. Please enlighten me!"

"idiot……"

The captain of the gendarmerie became angry after hearing this. He also expected to capture a few Eighth Route Army members and go back to perform meritorious service. However, the puppet squad leader in front of him actually told him that there were no Eighth Route Army members in the team.

Then his dream of taking advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds would be impossible to realize.

Moreover……

Whether there was an Eighth Route Army spy among the more than 100 puppet troops in front of him could not be judged by just relying on the other party's words. The military police captain believed even more in his ability to scare the monkeys.

No one is afraid of death, especially the puppet Manchurian Army in front of us.

He immediately drew his gun and pointed it at the squad leader of the Puppet Manchuria Army and cursed: "Bagheya Road..."

"I don't know what I'm asking..."

"What's the use of the Kwantung Army spending so much money to support you every year..."

After scolding, he ignored the puppet squad leader who had already started to wet his pants and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The crisp sound of gunfire quickly reached the ears of every puppet Manchurian Army, and pairs of eyes widened at the same time, showing a shocked expression of disbelief.

The squad leader who was shot by the military police captain should be one of the most loyal people in the company to the Kwantung Army, but he died at the hands of his master. It was definitely a very ironic thing.

After killing the person, the gendarmerie captain turned his attention to the crowd again as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was scared now. When the gendarmerie captain looked at them, they all subconsciously took two steps back.

The gendarmerie captain was pleased with everyone's reaction.

Only by making these puppet Manchurian soldiers feel fear and fear will they be honest.

"You...come up here..."

Soon the gendarmerie squad leader focused on a soldier and asked someone to bring him to him.

The squad leader who had just been shot fell beside him, and blood was still pouring out of the bullet hole in his head. It was very bloody.

The soldier who was targeted by the gendarmerie captain was knocked to his knees on the ground with cold sweat on his forehead. Before the gendarmerie captain could speak, he loudly begged for mercy: "Taijun, please spare my life... I am not an internal member of the Eighth Route Army..."

"I am loyal to the imperial army and will never betray the imperial army?"
