Chapter 57: Forcing Confession (Seeking Collection)

  At this time, the entire Zhaojiazhuang was covered by firepower from both sides, and no one knew if there were still surviving civilians here. The eyes of both sides only had enemies. The Japanese army's massive firepower coverage, with the impact of howitzers almost bringing Shi Yixuan and Zhao Wenzhong's troops to a standstill.

  "Xuan Ge, this time Temple Suiyi has made up his mind to eliminate us!" Qingteng Yimut said while firing at the endless stream of Japanese soldiers.

  "Damn it, am I that easy to take down?" As soon as Shuang Yixuan's voice fell, the mortar exploded again from beside him. Shuang Yixuan quickly pressed Qingteng Yimu down and shouted: "Take cover!"

  After the intense explosion, a large pit appeared one or two meters behind the Lone Fox Special Forces team. Xuan turned his head and looked at the deep pit that was over a meter deep, took a deep breath of cool air, and cursed: "Damn it, those devils really don't want me to get out alive!"

  Several brothers of the Linghu Rapid Deployment Unit turned their heads to look at the big pit, and they unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat. If the devils' accuracy was just a little more accurate, with a difference of only one meter, then the Linghu Rapid Deployment Unit would have completely disappeared from this world!

  "Get me a devil, damn it! If we keep fighting like this, the devils will finish us off sooner or later!" Dān Yìxuān crouched behind the wall, while on the other side, Zhào Wénxīng's troops continued to hold off the attacking enemy. From the sound of gunfire, Dān Yìxuān could tell that the Independent Regiment's ammunition wouldn't last much longer. If they kept this up, it wouldn't just be the Independent Regiment that would be wiped out, but also himself and his brothers in the Líng Hú (Lynx) Strike Team. The devils' powerful firepower was compressing Dān Yìxuān's and the Independent Regiment's space. Although Dān Yìxuān's appearance had alleviated some of the pressure on the Independent Regiment, it only lasted for half an hour. The devils' forces quickly increased several times over, their ammunition expenditure bordering on reckless abandon. After the intense battle, several brothers from the Líng Hú Strike Team were injured to varying degrees.

  The Eighth Route Army suffered even more casualties, with one of Gao Fei's companies being completely wiped out. The commander of the first battalion had his arm injured and was bandaged. "Comrade Zhao Wenxing, our ammunition won't last much longer, the enemy has too many troops!" Gao Fei said to Zhao Wenxing as the medic finished dressing his wound.

  "Damn it, I've fought so many battles, but never been as frustrated as today!" Zhao Wenzhong picked up the hat with a hole on the ground and cursed through gritted teeth.

  The enemy's military strength exceeded everyone's imagination. Originally thought to be a force of only a few hundred or even less than a thousand people, it now appears that the enemy has at least several thousand people, and this is just the troops in Zhaojiazhuang, not counting those in Magou Village.

  Liu San observed a lagging devils, cold hum, raised the gun in his hand to aim and shoot, and then the devil fell to the ground. Liu San put away the gun and said: "Cover me!" As soon as the words fell, Liu San had already rushed out. Originally, Liu San's legwork was not bad, and with the forced training at Qinglong Village, Liu San's pace became even lighter.

  The moment Liu San rushed out, Shan Yixuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted loudly: "Brothers cover Liu Ge!"

  As soon as Shan Yixuan's voice fell, everyone squatting behind the wall immediately stood up. The monkey's machine gun swept away the devils standing in the front row with its first round of fire. Of course, the Linghu Rapid Deployment Force, which had been trained for several months, was not just watching. Every member of the Linghu Rapid Deployment Force was confident that they could shoot through a devil's skull with one bullet.

  The sudden attack of the Linghu Squad made the devils extremely passive. In less than a minute, all the devils standing in the front fell down.

  Zhao Wenzhong held up his binoculars and looked at the Linghu Rapid Attack Team, and couldn't help but be shocked. Xuan Yixuan was originally a perverted devil, but he didn't expect his team members to be so perverted as well. The sudden attack by the Linghu Rapid Attack Team relieved the pressure on the Eighth Route Army, and Zhao Wenzhong immediately said: "Stop firing, conserve ammunition!" Gao Fei looked towards where the gunfire was coming from and saw dozens of people changing magazines in the blink of an eye, then aiming and shooting, not giving the enemy a chance to shoot back. Every shot would result in someone falling down.

  Zhao Wenzhen handed the binoculars to Gao Fei, sighed and said: "This is an unusual anti-Japanese force, take a look! Look at those devils!"

  Gao Fei took over the telescope and looked at the calm appearance of the Ling Hu Tuan team members, then looked at the other side, where almost every ghost soldier who fell to the ground was killed in one way - a bullet through the head, with hardly any being shot elsewhere. That single-handedly gun-wielding Xiao Yi Xuan now seemed somewhat worthy of his respect!

  "Squad leader, their skills and marksmanship are indeed very good!" Gao Fei lowered his head in shame.

  "Alright, let's fight first!" Zhao Wenzhen took over the binoculars and saw Liu San dragging a Japanese man towards Shan Yixuan's direction, muttering to himself in puzzlement: "What are they doing with this devil?"

  Liu San dragged the devil back behind the wall and panted: "Xuan Ge, I caught a devil!"

  Shan Yixuan turned around, smiled and gave Liu San a thumbs up. He then looked at the ghost with a face full of discontent, furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice: "How many people have you brought this time? What is your purpose?"

  The devil looked at Shan Yixuan with disdain and refused to say anything.

  Shan Yixuan sneered and said in Japanese, "You don't have to say it, I have ten thousand ways to make you talk!" Remembering the villager's corpse he saw at the village entrance, and the woman who was brutally killed, Shan Yixuan's anger ignited! Who can treat such inhumane devils with kindness?

  "I won't say it, kill me then!" The devil glanced at Shan Yixuan, looking at him with disdain.

  "Haha!" Shuang Yixuan burst out laughing and said, "You damn well better, I'm telling you to shut up!" As he spoke, a dagger appeared in Shuang Yixuan's hand.

  Qingteng turned around and pulled down Shuang Yixuan's arm, saying: "Xuan Ge, can I try?"

  Shan Yixuan raised his head, thought for a moment and nodded, saying: "Ask them how many people they have come with, what their intentions are! What kind of deployment!" After speaking, he got up to replace Qingteng Yimu's position.

  Qingteng squatted down under a wisteria tree, looking at the lieutenant's insignia on the devil's shoulder and said: "Brother, tell me, how many of you have come and what do you want to do? Don't wait until you've suffered physical pain before saying these things out loud, or it will be meaningless!"

  "Who are you?" The lieutenant saw Sei Tōin with a thick Japanese accent and asked in confusion, "Are you Sei Tōin?" He had heard that this time they were going to annihilate the rebels when the order was issued. Could it be that the so-called rebel was him? The lieutenant was puzzled, staring at Sei Tōin in a daze.

  "Yes, I am Qingteng Yimuh!"

  "You damned fool! The Great Empire of Japan doesn't need a loser officer like you!" Lieutenant Aoki saw Kōhei nod in agreement, and immediately tried to stand up, but the muzzle pressed against his leg only made him struggle for a moment.

  Qingteng's voice was cold as he laughed and asked in a stern tone, "Was it you who killed the unarmed villagers at the village entrance?"

  "Haha, right, forgot to tell you, that girl has been taken care of by us! Hahaha!" Lieutenant Zhang laughed wildly, his face showing no sign of reverence.

  Qīng Téng Yī Mù drew a dagger from his waist, and the lieutenant's disrespect towards the deceased made him somewhat angry. "Ah!..." The lieutenant did not expect Qīng Téng Yī Mù to actually see the dagger stabbed into his own leg, and the already injured lieutenant fell to the ground in pain, groaning.

  The lieutenant's voice made the brothers of the Linghu Tuan team turn their heads, and a long gash appeared on the lieutenant's thigh, with blood constantly flowing out. Shan Yixuan was stunned for a moment, gave several people a look, and after everyone understood, they turned around to continue fighting against the devils.

  "Are you going to say anything?" Qingteng Yimuwu asked in a cold voice. As a graduate of the Advanced Command Academy, he had a different understanding of soldiers, whose duty was to protect their homeland from foreign invasion and safeguard their people from being bullied by outsiders. But what he saw now was a completely different picture.

  "No!..." The lieutenant covered his wound and persisted. Cold sweat poured down his face like rain, his eyes filled with a hint of terror as he stared at Qingteng Yimu.

  Qingteng smiled sinisterly, picked up the bloody dagger and waved it in front of Shao Wei, then grabbed Shao Wei's hand covering his wound, and compared the length of the dagger to Shao Wei's fingertips. He then wiped the blade against Shao Wei's index finger!

  "Ah..." The lieutenant looked at Qingteng Yimut in terror, this person who was just cursing him made him feel a little afraid, his fearful expression made the lieutenant's whole body tremble! An icy dagger ruthlessly pierced into the lieutenant's fingertips.

  "What's the matter, we don't have anything like that here, so just make do with this!" Qingteng Yimuwu said coldly. The icy voice made the Japanese lieutenant feel a chill run down his back!

  The sound of the lieutenant's moaning made Shan Yixuan involuntarily turn his head to take a look, and Qingteng Yimulian's ruthless technique made Shan Yixuan somewhat unbelievable. Such a ruthless torture technique was not even learned in 21st century China, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Japan was indeed several levels more advanced than China in this regard! However, thinking again, the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty should be much higher than Japan's penal law!

  "I say! I say... Ah..." The lieutenant couldn't bear the agony of this torture, after all, his fingers were connected to his heart, and every time the dagger stabbed in another inch, it increased the pain several times over.

  "Why must you suffer before confessing? We're all from the same hometown, I don't have the heart to treat you like this!" Qingteng shamelessly wiped the blood on his dagger onto Shao Wei's clothes.

  "I'm telling you, I'm telling you everything!" The lieutenant was panting heavily, looking at Seiichi Aomine with a terrified gaze. Aomine's ruthless methods made him unable to bear it, this feeling of being on the verge of death would make one feel suffocated, and the inexplicable fear would make one reveal all the things they wanted to know! This was a compulsory course at the German Berlin Military Academy, Interrogation and Counter-Interrogation Studies. Even if one had received professional training, such ruthless methods would still be unbearable!
