General Kimura picked up the phone and asked:

"Hey!"

"Reporting to General Kimura, I just received a report that the 76th Hu Jianping's Second Battalion had an accident in Xiaoli Village, Changping County yesterday. The specific casualties are unknown. I will report to you and take people to Xiaoli Village to check."

Li Qun's voice came from the phone.

"I was wondering why we didn't catch any of them during yesterday's raid in northern Shanghai. It turns out they fled to Xiaoli Village in Changping County. We must track them down and wipe them out in one fell swoop! I'll let Section Chief Daoqiao go with you now."

General Kimura put down the phone after he finished speaking, looked at Jiang Yifan and ordered:

"Shimahashi-kun, I order you to lead the Special High Section Action Team and Li Qun to Xiaoli Village to conduct an investigation. You must catch all these underground party guerrillas or national salvation army in one fell swoop!"

"Hayi!"

When Jiang Yifan heard the order, he didn't ask any more questions. He answered and turned to leave.

Jiang Yifan drove to No. 76 in a hurry. Seeing Jiuchi Rikuto was also there, he got out of the car and asked:

"What happened?"

Li Qun came over with a serious face and replied:

"The exact situation is unclear right now. I heard that there was a fierce gunfight in Xiaoli Village, and Hu Jianping's Second Battalion did not return overnight. Let's go and see what happened."

"Is there something wrong? He has a thousand men with him."

Jiang Yifan couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he heard this. To a large extent, Hu Jianping's Second Battalion no longer existed, but his face was full of disbelief as he replied.

Jiuchi Rikuto did not respond, but continued to secretly observe Jiang Yifan's every expression.

Jiang Yifan looked at Jiujiuchi Rikuto and asked, "Teacher! What do you think?"

"You'll know when you get there!" Kuiike Rikuto was forced to answer.

"The situation is urgent, shall we set off now?" Li Qun said without further explanation.

So, Jiang Yifan, Jiujiichi Rikuto and Li Qun each got into their own cars and drove towards Xiaolizhuang, Changping County.

When the No. 76 convoy drove towards Xiaoli Village like a giant dragon, Xiaoli Village was unexpectedly dead silent.

There was not a single living person in the entire village, and the ground was littered with corpses and blood.

Li Qun, Jiang Yifan and Jiujichi Lu Ren, under the protection of a large number of secret agents, walked around the village and checked outside the village before returning to the scrapped car of Hu Jianping not far from the village entrance.

"Hu Jianping was ambushed as soon as he entered the village. He tried to break out by force, but was blown to death when he ran here!"

Kuiichi Rikuto analyzed as he looked at Hu Jianping, who was badly injured in the explosion, in the car.

"It seems that the enemy must have a lot of people, estimated to be at least around two thousand!"

Li Qun answered with a gloomy face and a heavy tone.

"Then who did this?" Jiang Yifan looked at Jiujii Rikuren and Li Qun and asked with concern.

"Normally, the underground guerrillas wouldn't have such a lot of power. However, if we haven't caught a single underground guerrilla since yesterday in northern Shanghai, their suspicion cannot be ruled out."

Kuiichi Rikuto analyzed again.

"Impossible? Could the underground guerrillas have organized such a large team? The day before yesterday, in a village in northern Shanghai, there were at most three underground guerrillas. How many villages would it take to gather so many people?"

Jiang Yifan still couldn't believe it. He didn't want the underground party guerrillas to take the blame, so he tried his best to shift the blame to them.

"If it was the National Salvation Army, how did they get here? You have to know that they were a team of more than 2,000 people. There were at least five checkpoints to get here. I don't believe that there was no checkpoint that did not report to the dispatched army headquarters."

Li Qun also frowned and analyzed.

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Jiang Yifan was also afraid that he would talk too much and be suspected by Kuiichi Rikuto again.

At this moment, He Tianfeng came over and reported:

"Report to the Secretary General! We have examined the bodies and found that many of them cannot be identified. There are too many people and we don't know if they are from No. 76."

"Don't they have the documents we issued to them?"

Li Qun asked curiously.

"No! Not one!" He Tianfeng answered with certainty.

"That's strange. Why do these people need so many documents?" Jiang Yifan also pretended to be surprised and asked.

At this moment, Kuiichi Rikuto suddenly spoke:

"I see. This must have been done by the National Salvation Army. They came in under the banner of the 76th Battalion of No. 76, and left under the banner of the nd Battalion of No. . This explains why they were able to travel unimpeded."

Jiang Yifan heard this and immediately agreed:

"That makes sense! When I get back, I'll ask the headquarters and the various troop checkpoints to make some phone calls and we'll know."

"What should we do with these corpses now?" He Tianfeng looked at Li Qun and asked again.

"Let the entire Xiaoli Village turn into a sea of ​​fire and become a hiding place for all the brothers who died in the disaster!"

Li Qun looked at the corpses all over the ground and gave the order in anger.

"Yes!"

He Tianfeng responded and turned to leave.

Jiang Yifan did not stop him when he heard this. He knew that he could not stop Li Qun's decision because he could feel that although Kuiike Rikuto did not join the investigation team formed by Sato Ichiro, he found that Kuiike Rikuto was more wary of him than the formal members of the team.

To be on the safe side, he chose to remain silent.

Soon, the entire Xiaoli Village turned into a sea of ​​fire. Gasoline was poured on all the corpses, and they burned along with the houses in the village, and finally all turned into ashes!

Jiang Yifan's heart was bleeding, but he dared not show it on the surface.

Li Qun, Jiang Yifan and Jiu Jingchi led the team back to Shanghai and went directly to the International Settlement and the Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

After a phone call was made, it was confirmed that Kuiike Rikuto's judgment was correct. These people were indeed under the banner of the Cleanup Committee, the Second and Sixth Battalions, and passed through various checkpoints in a high-sounding manner without encountering any obstruction.

This made these senior officials feel heartbroken, yet helpless, because the commotion caused by the Cleanup Committee was so huge that it could be said that it was a hot topic that everyone in Japan knew about.

"Let them be happy for a few days. When we launch an attack on them, we will make them pay with blood! I will never let the blood of every Chinese who is loyal to the Empire of Japan be shed in vain.

This matter ends here. Now let's discuss where the underground party guerrillas in the northern part of Shanghai went overnight. "

General Kimura said as he looked at everyone with a heavy heart.
