Chapter 569 A Beauty in Troubled Times (4)
After all, how can you fight a war without decent weapons? They don't have them, but we do, so naturally we have to provide them. We can't really let them charge into battle with cold weapons.
"Father, why do you and Mother want to stay in this small mountain village? With your abilities, you could live a good life in a big city!" Wangyou really couldn't understand what her father was thinking.
He's skilled, insightful, and shrewd, and fluent in multiple foreign languages. What's more, he's also adept at divination, fortune telling, and feng shui. If he were to join the resistance against Japan, it would save so much trouble.
"You think your father doesn't want to? It's that he can't." Old Xie was filled with melancholy. If he could have taken action, he would have started cleaning up the mess when those bastards invaded the Great Xia land. Unfortunately, no matter how much he did, it would all be in vain.
Wangyou saw sorrow and helplessness in Old Xie's eyes.
"What about the older brothers?"
“Your brother and the others can participate.”
"what about me?"
"You should stay in this village like your father. Seeing too much and feeling powerless is too painful."
"I understand, Father. Let's prepare for war!" Wangyou felt that it was best to focus on the present and didn't want to know too much for the time being.
This time, they planned to set up an ambush on the route that the Japanese army was bound to take, and their mission in Dahe Village was to block the enemy's reinforcements.
Everyone worked together and made a lot of homemade mines. Wangyou also made some, but the mines she made were filled with sleeping potions. If that colonel dared to come, they could make sure he never returned.
The war broke out quickly, and the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village were quickly transferred underground through tunnels. Wangyou and his group of children also went down.
However, the children weren't idle either. They could check the outside situation from all directions in the tunnel. With nothing else to do, the group of children ran around everywhere, hoping to encounter an enemy and clear a path with their slingshots.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed. The blocking battle ended successfully, with the enemy reinforcements either killed, wounded, or knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, artillery fire continued to rage for a long time in other areas.
The company of men sent by the Red Party returned completely bewildered. They hadn't fired a single shot, yet they had captured the enemy and seized a considerable amount of weapons and equipment.
It's a pity that the weapons and equipment weren't captured by them; they went along just to observe. But they still shamelessly wanted a share of the equipment. There was no other reason than that they were simply too poor.
In Dahe Village, everyone, regardless of age or gender, has a gun, and they're all brand new. They don't have much interest in the captured weapons, so they simply let the company commander take them back. They can't go themselves, but they can still support the country's war of resistance.
"Forget-me-not, my daughter, come out quickly. Dad brought you a lot of test samples this time," Old Man Xie and his mother, Ms. Zhang, called out with smiles.
In an instant, everyone emerged from the tunnel.
Captain Zhao and Company Commander Hu tried to interject several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise. They were a colonel and two lieutenant colonels, and they were just giving them away as toys for children.
"Father, these two look to be of high rank, but I wonder how strong their drug resistance is," Wangyou said with a grin, her eyes shining as she looked at the group.
"Captain Zhao, Company Commander Hu, it's getting late, I won't keep you any longer. Don't worry, if you die, I'll send you off." Old Xie said cheerfully as he shooed them away.
Captain Zhao and Company Commander Hu were handed over to the villagers of Dahe Village, along with their weapons.
"Well, now there's absolutely no chance," Captain Zhao said with a wry smile.
"I was hoping to at least bring back one or two prisoners!"
"It's only right that they take them back. These animals should be used for drug testing. If we take them back, we'll have to educate them. It's a waste of food."
The two men figured it out and climbed onto the captured truck, carrying the weapons and equipment they had seized. Dahe Village was truly a place where hidden talents were everywhere; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to drive the truck back.
Hou and Li, who were in charge of sending the people away, watched them get into the car and then safely delivered them to their base.
At first glance, the first impression is that they are poor, but the people there are in good spirits. No wonder the head of the family was willing to help.
If they could, they would like to stay, but circumstances don't allow it, so they can only help out with small things.
"If you're short of equipment, clothing, or food, you can come to Dahe Village to find us. We'll help you if we can." Xiao Hou and Xiao Li left these words before they rushed back.
"You devil, you're a devil!"
In just a few days, those colonels and lieutenant colonels looked at Wangyou like mice seeing a cat.
"Looks like my skills are getting better and better. Even after being tormented by poison all day, I can still be so energetic," Wangyou said with a grin.
Little Stone, who was following Wangyou along, was now quite adept at helping her. "Little Miss, which one should we try today?"
"I've realized I should ask them something useful. If it's helpful, it might lessen their suffering." Wangyou said this in Japanese, because none of them understood the Great Xia language, and the translator had been killed by them.
"I'll confess, I'll tell you everything, please let me see His Majesty the Emperor," Kameda pleaded, hearing that he had a chance to be released.
"Then tell me everything you know. If you dare to tell a single lie, I'll let you try my new poison, 'Ten Thousand Ants Devouring the Heart,' which will make you feel like you're being bitten by countless ants. You won't even be able to commit suicide!" Wangyou said with a smile.
But to Kameda and his companions, that smile was no less than the smile of a demon. They no longer cared about getting out alive; they just wanted a quick death.
With a trembling voice, Kameda recounted everything he knew and everything he had done, including how many people he had killed during the Nanjing Massacre.
Kameda's wish was that these people could just kill them in a fit of anger, so they wouldn't have to suffer like this.
Unfortunately, even after he finished telling everyone he knew, no one present made a move. Whether it was the adults standing on the sidelines or the child in the middle, they all listened quietly and quickly took notes.
“Describe everyone you remember who participated in the Nanjing Massacre,” Wangyou said calmly.
Kameda knew what she was up to in an instant, but he still didn't hesitate to name and describe the people. There were too many struggles between empires. He was already so unlucky, so it wouldn't be good if his colleagues didn't experience it too.
Li Cheng was sketching away, drawing one picture at a time and then having Kameda check it. Fortunately, Li Cheng's drawings were never flawless, but little did Sakata know that he was even more shocked.
After interrogating Kameda, they questioned two lieutenant colonels. They were speechless after questioning them. The three seemed to be on the same side, but they didn't know the same things. Therefore, Wangyou and the others pulled out a lot of useful information.
