July 15, 1938 in the Gregorian calendar was the darkest day in the history of Heya Village.
According to the deadline set by Tomita, it had exceeded five days, and the Japanese still had not received a grain of grain.
Thinking of the attack on Xiling Village, Tomita Ryohei believed that the Wind and Thunder Task Force lived in Heya Village, which was at least a problem village that had been turned red by Tubal Road.
Captain Ando agreed with Tomita Ryohei's view and decided to dispatch two teams, with Tomita Ryohei as the commander-in-chief, and send troops to Heya Village the next day.
It was still dark the next day, and four trucks were parked in an open space east of Heya Village.
As soon as the car stopped, the Japanese on the first truck jumped out of the car and dispersed around the village. Their mission was to block Heya Village from the outside.
As the sky grew dim, Ryohei Tomita jumped out of the cab, divided the sixty Japanese into six groups, and stormed into Heya Village angrily.
The Japanese who entered the village were mainly responsible for two tasks, one was to search for food, and the other was to search for the Wind and Thunder Task Force.
Tomita specifically stated that during the search and seizure process, anyone who resists or escapes may be killed or raped. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to miss one.
For a moment, in Heya Village, chickens croaked, dogs croaked, gunshots were fired, doors kicked in, and cries came one after another.
Tomita Ryohei personally led a team of people to conduct house-to-house inspections and looting along an alley in the south of the village. Then they crossed Dongxi Street and headed straight to the entrance of the south alley.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the house from under the tall gate. This man was none other than Jin Ye's second uncle Wang Ergui, known as the Second Devil.
It turned out that the two devils heard the crowing of chickens and dogs, and thought that something terrible had happened. Out of curiosity, they hurried out of the house. Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the threshold, they were caught by Tomita Ryohei.
In desperation, the two devils quickly locked the door, spread their legs and ran away.
When Tomita Ryohei saw this, he roared angrily. The two demons were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled, their legs trembled, and their feet felt as if they were stuck with strong glue, and they could not move an inch.
When Tomita led the Japanese soldiers in pursuit, the two demons fell to their knees and begged the imperial army for their lives.
Upon hearing that the imperial army came to Heya Village to collect wheat, the two devils agreed to hand over ten loads without saying a word.
Tomita Ryohei then asked whether Heya Village was harboring Tubal Road or had connections with Tubal Road.
The second devil did not dare to lie when it came to the issue of Tubal Road, so he told Futian that there was a circus troupe living in the ancestral hall, and the leader was from the same village. His nickname was Shanzi. Maybe this kid was Tubal Road.
Tomita Ryohei followed the lead and asked if there were any flower girls in the circus.
The second devil said that he had never heard of this.
After hearing the answer from the two devils, Tomita was greatly disappointed and felt chills from the top of his head to his heels.
But for Tubal Road, Tomita Lianghei would rather trust its existence than its non-existence. He quickly mobilized more than 20 Japanese soldiers and, under the leadership of the two devils, went straight to the ancestral hall.
I rushed to the ancestral hall in one breath and saw a wooden sign hanging beside the door with six words written on it——
Going to the countryside to perform today.
As early as the second day after the task force entered the ancestral hall, this wooden sign was hung next to the gate. The calligraphy on the wooden sign was written by Yumei.
After seeing the wooden sign, Tomita Ryohei waved his hand and ordered the team to evacuate immediately.
After leaving Wang's ancestral hall, Tomita Ryohei walked through the streets and alleys, patrolling the village to inspect the arrests.
Passing by an alley, two bloody corpses were lying on the road. The corpses were a man and a woman. They were both about forty years old. They seemed to be a couple.
Passing by a pile of firewood, I saw a girl with her bare breasts and naked lower body lying quietly on her back beside the pile of firewood. Judging from the flesh scraps stuffed under her fingernails, the girl was strangled to death by the Japanese because of her resistance.
Passing by a haystack again, a Japanese soldier, like a wolf and a tiger, devoured the body of a young woman. The Japanese standing aside made menacing laughter from time to time.
Walking to a street, a middle-aged woman looked out from among the bundles of firewood. When she saw the Japanese approaching, she hurriedly picked up her son, who was under ten years old, and fled north along the street.
Tomita Ryohei waved his hand and ordered his followers to chase the mother and son. In a blink of an eye, two bayonets stabbed the mother and son at the same time, penetrating the chest and back of the mother and son.
The little boy struggled to grab his mother's hand, but only slowly let go for a moment.
