After Tomita Ryohei crossed the river, he ran about three miles in one breath.
After walking for more than three miles, Tomita finally couldn't hold on any longer and flopped down from the foot of a hillock, sitting down on his butt.
In addition to Huang San, there were seven Japanese soldiers who fled with Tomita Ryohei.
Huang Sangen was so exhausted that as soon as he lay down on the ground, Tomita kicked him hard and ordered him to climb up to the top of the post to see if there was anyone chasing after him.
Returning from the post a short time later, Huang San reported that no enemy was found around him.
Tomita Ryohei finally breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "Huang Sang, in today's battle, the imperial army suffered heavy losses. Major Ando will definitely hold him accountable. He died. Do you want to make atonement for your sins?"
Huang San knew that the Japanese killed people like chickens, never being reasonable and indiscriminate, so he hurriedly replied: "Captain, I want to make meritorious deeds in this humble position, but I don't know if I have the chance."
After hearing the answer, Tomita asked Huang San to sit down and carefully explained the opportunity for meritorious service. Finally, he told everyone to keep the secret strictly, otherwise he would not be killed.
After resting for a while, Tomita Ryohei set off and began the evil act of "making meritorious service to atone for his sins".
Walking out of a wilderness, there is indeed a village ahead. This village is called Taoyuan Village, with dozens of households in total.
In about ten minutes, Tomita arrived at the head of Taoyuan Village and walked a short distance south. In a narrow alley, he saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl playing shuttlecock with her younger brother.
Tomita suddenly stopped and stared at the little girl like a wolf. Then he waved his hand and led seven or eight minions straight towards the little girl.
When they saw the Japanese approaching without warning, the two children were stunned.
Without saying a word, Tomita Ryohei pulled the little girl to his side. The younger brother came to his senses, rushed over and hugged the claw that was holding his sister, and tried his best to snatch her away.
Tomita was furious and kicked the little boy to the ground. The little boy got up and rushed forward. Another Japanese stabbed him fiercely, and only heard a scream. The bayonet penetrated the boy's spine from his chest.
When she saw her brother being killed, the little girl closed her eyes and was about to fall down, but Tomita grabbed her and held her under her arms.
The door of the courtyard where the little girl is is her home.
At this time, Tomita kicked open the courtyard door, and was met by a daughter-in-law in her thirties who hurriedly ran in. This daughter-in-law was the hostess of this courtyard.
Before she could stand firmly on her feet, the two Japanese soldiers pounced on her like crazy dogs and cut the wife's arms behind her back.
It was nine o'clock in the morning, and most of the young and strong men in the village were working in the fields. Only women, children and the elderly were left at home.
At this time, after hearing the heartbreaking calls of the mother and daughter, an old man panted and pushed open the courtyard door. As soon as he stepped through the threshold, he was stabbed to death by the Japanese guarding the door in a pool of blood.
After more than half an hour of being trampled by wolves and tigers, the four ghostly beasts walked out of the courtyard with grins, leaving behind the miserable bodies of the couple.
At this time, I looked at the east wing and saw that my daughter-in-law was lying on the bed dying, her neck and chest were covered with bruises, which were the marks of being torn apart by the devil's claws when she resisted.
Looking at the girl in the hall, there was no crying, no movement, just two blank eyes staring blankly.
This is an alley with only three households. Two elderly people live in the second house. When Huang San led three Japanese soldiers into the yard, the couple closed the door in panic.
Seeing this, Huang San kicked open the thin door. The two Japs couldn't tell the difference and rushed forward and stabbed one to death. Seeing that the old lady was still struggling, he stabbed twice more in the abdomen.
After a while, he broke into the third house and encountered a girl who was lying in bed due to illness. Huang San was like a wolf and a tiger. He was the first to rush forward and stretched out his hand to pull open the quilt covering the girl.
The originally sickly girl was unable to struggle, and her fragile body was quickly torn to pieces.
In just a few dozen minutes, a total of 13 wives and girls in Taoyuan Village were ravaged, the youngest was only 12 years old, and 11 villagers were killed, the youngest was only 8 years old.
Rape and murder are just an episode for Tomita, not the real purpose.
Finally, we arrived at two houses in the east of the village. Two men were arrested at their homes after trying to escape. The arrested middle-aged man was in his 40s and the young man was in his 30s.
After being severely beaten, the two men endured the humiliation and surrendered, each driving a donkey cart out of the village. At this time, they did not know that they were embarking on a road of no return.
About two hours later, under the order of Tomita Ryohei, the donkey cart stopped at the edge of a forest.
After tying the donkey to a tree trunk at the edge of the forest, Tomita Ryohei escorted the man driving the cart into the woods, and Huang San explained the plan to them.
After finishing his statement, Huang San took out a shell gun and put it on the middle-aged man's forehead, warning sternly that if he didn't confess honestly, he would be beheaded.

Shiro Ishikawa led the defeated stragglers back to the base camp. It was already evening.
According to Ishikawa Shiro's report, more than 200 Imperial Army soldiers were killed and more than 50 people were seriously injured in the Battle of Jiachahe. Moreover, contact with Tomita Ryohei was lost, and there is no news about whether they are dead or alive.
After listening to the report, Ando couldn't help but his face was distorted and his heart was bleeding.
The key is that we learned from Ishikawa Shiro's report that the Heya Village missionary team actually came from the Independent Regiment. From this, we can judge that the predecessor of the Independent Regiment was the Independent Battalion.
Since stationing in Qiaonan, we have been fighting against the independent battalion for several months. Instead of being able to kill them all, they have grown rapidly and developed into an independent regiment. This is the greatest shame and sorrow of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Thinking of this, Ando's heart ached even more.
Not feeling that the sky was getting dark, Tomita Ryohei and Huang Sanyi rushed into Ando's office, one after another, and saluted Ando in unison.
Tomita Ryohei said: "Reporting to Major, this time the imperial army was ambushed again. They are humble and incompetent and unable to defeat the enemy. I beg Major to punish him."
Ando was sullen and silent for a long time, and then said after a long time: "Tomita-kun, it's not that the Japanese Imperial Army is incompetent, but that Tubal Road is extremely cunning. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Do you understand?"
Tomita Ryohei saluted again: "Thank you, Major, for your tolerance. I will take this opportunity to give you a generous gift to Major, even though I despise my humble position."
Ando was confused when Tomita Ryohei turned around and ordered Huang San: "Bring Tubal Road up."
Huang San then shouted: "Obito Eighth Route."
After the shouting ended, the two tied-up "Tubalu" were escorted one by one to Ando's office by two Japanese soldiers.
After being introduced by Tomita Ryohei, the two arrested men were both surnamed Liu and came from the Taoyuan Village Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force. Old Liu was the captain and Xiao Liu was the deputy captain.
Huang San continued: "Based on the intelligence provided by his humble position, Captain Tomita used a clever trick to pretend to be a special commissioner of the Independence Regiment and went to Taoyuan to convene a meeting on Tubal Road, taking the opportunity to catch them all."
Seeing Ando's smile blooming, Tomita added another incense stick: "Major, in this operation, a total of thirty-four Tubal Roads were eliminated. The captain and deputy captain were both arrested."
Facing the two fake Tobali, Ando had no doubts.
At this time, looking at Tomita's blood-stained arm, Ando sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Tomita-kun, your contribution is great. This captain will choose the opportunity to report to Colonel Tahara and ask for a reward for you."
As soon as Ando finished speaking, Huang San hurriedly saluted: "Reporting to Major, the elimination of the guerrillas was the information provided by humble duty. Captain Tomita said that he must take credit for humble duty."
Ando said: "Huang Sang, thank you for your hard work. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to serve the imperial army."
Huang San stared in shock and asked again: "Is this the end?"
Ando asked, "Is there anything else?"
After hearing this, Huang Sanzhi felt disheartened and cursed him in his heart.
When Tomita Ryohei saw that he was done, he started to perform the second play, asking Old Liu and Xiao Liu to truthfully tell the truth about the location of the independent regiment.
Old Liu and Xiao Liu spoke in unison and answered with three words: "I don't know."
Tomita Ryohei and Huang San pretended to be angry and slapped them each. These slaps were clearly telling Old Liu and Xiao Liu what to do next.
So Lao Liu and Xiao Liu coincidentally bumped into each other, knocking Futian and Huang San off their feet.
Ando slapped the case angrily, got up and yelled: "Ba Ge."
Tomita slapped Lao Liu again, turned around and faced Ando: "Major, these two stubborn thugs are stubborn, and they humbly request to be executed immediately to comfort the souls of the dead Imperial Army soldiers."
In anger, Ando waved his hand and agreed to Tomita Ryohei's request.
A quarter of an hour later, several gunshots rang out by the Wenquan River. Old Liu and Da Liu were filled with resentment and died tragically at the gunpoint of the Japanese.
