Chapter 5: Grilled Interrogation of Fei Ku's Web

  "What's the name of this devil lieutenant? Which unit does he belong to, and how many devils are there in Qiu County, and where are they stationed?" Liu Feng asked.

  "He's called Sakata Jirō, belongs to Qiuxian's Suzuki squadron, which is under the Independent Mixed First Brigade stationed in Handan. I've only met Qiuxian's Suzuki Masao squadron leader, don't know about the others." Wang Ying replied.

  "What brings you to Liujiayu this time?" Liu Feng asked.

  "The devils want to collect grain, but the villagers of Liujiayu have hidden all their food away, so..." Wang Ying's triangular eyes looked at Liu Feng's increasingly gloomy face and didn't dare say another word.

  Liu Feng said: "Help me wake this guy up!"

  Wang Ying, in order to save his life, hastily fetched a canteen from the devils and poured it on Sakata Jirō's face.

  Sakata Jiro woke up, and Liu Feng asked in Japanese: "Lieutenant Sakata, all your men are dead. Now I'm going to ask you a few questions, and I hope you'll answer them properly."

  Sakata Jirō opened his eyes to see Liu Feng's dark face, and was startled. However, he gritted his teeth and said: "I am a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, kill me if you want, I will never answer any of your questions!"

  Liu Feng smiled and said: "I've never seen anyone who really doesn't say anything."

  He finished speaking and pulled out a dagger, cutting off one of his ears with a single slash.

  "Ah!" Sakata Jirō yelled miserably and cursed, "Hakka, you damn bastard, just kill me already. I'd rather die than answer your questions."

  "Sublieutenant Sakata, your brain is really rigid. But don't worry, we have plenty of time, and we can play slowly. I really hope you won't answer the questions too quickly, that wouldn't be fun." Liu Feng said with a smile.

  After finishing speaking, Liu Feng cut off Sakata's other ear. "Ah..." Sakata screamed.

  The Wang Ying beside him was already frightened pale and couldn't move his feet as he stared at Liu Feng.

  Liu Feng pierced his two ears with a dagger, took them to the bonfire to roast, and said while roasting: "Lieutenant Sakata, I don't know what your roasted ears taste like. Do you want to sprinkle some salt? Wang Ying, go find some salt."

  Wang Ying has been made speechless by Liu Feng, unable to utter a word, and once again collapses to the ground. This person is not human at all, he's a devil!

  Liu Feng saw Wang Ying lying on the ground and shouted: "Are you courting death? Hurry up and go find some salt!"

  "Uh, yes, I'll go right away." Wang Ying struggled to get up and went to look for salt.

  Sakata was shocked to hear that Liu Feng wanted to burn his ears, and he immediately shuddered, shouting: "Bastard, you devil, murderer! You'll come to no good end!"

  "Uh, ears have a lot of cartilage, and they taste great when grilled. When it's done, I'll treat you to some. Don't drool!" Liu Feng said with a smile.

  In Sakata's eyes, Liu Feng's smile was even more terrifying than the devil's face, and his voice had already begun to tremble. The Japanese devils were indeed very cruel and perverted, but no matter how cruel or perverted they were, they would never cut off their own ears and roast them for eating. This completely exceeded Sakata's cognitive range. He could no longer utter any insults.

  Liu Feng said while flipping the skewers: "The barbecue can't be cooked for too long, nor can it be too short, it has to be just right."

  At this time, Wang Ying had already found the salt: "Sir, the salt has been found..."

  Liu Feng took over, starting to sprinkle some salt grains onto the roasting ears with his fingers, saying: "This barbecue, seasonings must be sprinkled slowly, only then will it have a good flavor."

  Sakata had fainted again, and Liu Feng told Wang Ying, "Wake him up."

  Wang Ying hastily splashed water on Sakata to wake him up. As soon as Sakata came to, he saw Liu Feng holding his own ear in front of himself and saying: "Sakata, my ear is already roasted, it smells so good, come have a taste."

  Sakata completely collapsed at this time, shouting: "Don't, don't, spare me, whatever you want to know I'll say."

  Liu Feng smiled and said, "How can you not hold on for such a short time? It's really boring. Tell me about your superiors, how are they deployed in Qiu County? And the situation of the First Mixed Brigade. Are there any other troops deployed around?"

  Sakata Jiro's psychological defense line has collapsed, and he is telling everything he knows like a bamboo tube dumping beans.

  Qiu County is not a very large county town, 223-230 miles away from Handan. To the north is Wei County, to the east is Linqing County, to the west is Quzhou County, and to the south is Guantao County. These counties are not important, and the First Independent Mixed Brigade stationed only one or two battalions in each of these county towns, controlling a large area.

  Qiu County only had one squadron of Suzuki Masao's troops stationed there, with a total strength of around 180 people, including the 54 Japanese devils eliminated by Liu Feng. They were mainly garrisoned in the Qiu County Japanese army barracks, but two squadrons of the Royal Collaborative Army assisted in defending Qiu County. Under the leadership of a traitor named Luo Sanji, they tyrannized and oppressed Qiu County.

  Suzuki's detachment belonged to Ozawa's detachment stationed in Quzhou County, but Ozawa's detachment stationed in Quzhou County actually had only two detachments of Japanese troops and three detachments of the Royal Collaboration Army, while other forces were scattered in various county towns.

  Weixian County to the north of Qiu County, Guantao County to the south, and Linqing County to the east all had only one battalion of Japanese troops. Quzhou County was only 50 li away from Qiu County, while Weixian, Guantao, and Linqing counties were between 70 to 100 li away from Qiu County.

  The 1st Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Handan, the 110th Division stationed in Shijiazhuang, with Lieutenant General Iinuma Tamon as the division commander, and the 7th Mixed Brigade stationed in Dezhou. All these troops were directly under the North China Area Army, with Lieutenant General Tada Toki as the commanding officer and Lieutenant General Kasahara Yukio as the chief of staff.

  As for other detailed deployments of the Japanese army and troop movements, it was not something that a small second lieutenant like him could know.

  Liu Feng finished questioning and felt that Sakata could no longer hide anything, so he directly stabbed the dagger into Sakata's heart, ending his life. Then he wiped the dagger with the lieutenant's clothes.

  Then Liu Feng asked Wang Ying to sweep the battlefield with him, and they got a total of twenty-five 38 rifles, three crooked light machine guns, three grenade launchers, fifteen southern pistols, and one box cannon. 2,000 rounds of 38 rifle bullets, 1,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, 16 grenades, and 200 sweet potato-shaped hand grenades.

  Liu Feng selected the best of the three eight rifles from this pile of weapons, leaving 150 rifle bullets, and also brought a king-eight box with five sweet melon-shaped hand grenades. Then, together with Wang Ying, they found a place to bury all the remaining ammunition and made marks. In this chaotic world, having guns is like being a grasshead king. These weapons may be useful in the future.

  Of course, Liu Feng didn't plan on dealing with the corpses of these Japanese devils, but he did strip them of their clothes and shoes, which were then buried along with the military supplies.
