"I am willing."

"I would like that too."

……

A group of people looked at the bottle in Xinsijun's hand and were so scared that they agreed immediately.

"I... I... I have information to provide right now." A puppet soldier was trembling all over, his voice stammering with fear, and he raised his hand tremblingly.

When Jiang Wenming heard his words, he rushed forward and pulled the puppet soldier up.

The puppet soldiers were so frightened by this sudden action that their faces turned pale and their bodies shook like sieves.

Jiang Wenming dragged the puppet soldier mercilessly, like a dead dog, to the other side where there were fewer people.

Xu Yan hurriedly followed with a gun in hand. He secretly wondered in his heart what kind of important information this puppet soldier could provide?

Arriving at a secluded place, the puppet soldier finally calmed down a bit. He said tremblingly, "I know the Imperial Army's next plan..."

However, before he could finish his words, there was a crisp "slap" sound, and Jiang Wenming suddenly raised his hand and slapped the puppet soldier hard.

The slap was so heavy that the puppet soldier's head was jerked sideways. He covered his face with his hands and looked at Jiang Wenming with a face full of grievance, tears in his eyes.

Xu Yan was also stunned by this scene. He looked at Jiang Wenming with confusion, not understanding why he suddenly started hitting people.

Jiang Wenming roared in rage, "What imperial army? Those damned ones are the Japs!"

His voice was deafening, filled with anger and contempt.

Kong Fengxing finally woke up from his dream. He nodded and said hurriedly, "Ah, yes, it was the Japs. I just didn't react at the moment. Please calm down, sir. Calm down."

After the explanation, Kong Fengxing observed that their emotions had stabilized a little and they were no longer angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing both of them staring at him, he quickly continued, "Last night when I went to the bathroom, I overheard our regimental commander and his adjutant grumbling."

Kong Fengxing hesitated for a moment and continued, "They said the Japanese commander was going to withdraw today, but they planned to use the innocent civilians they had captured as a trap to lure the New Fourth Army into their trap."

Kong Fengxing's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was very shocked and frightened by this plan.

His voice trembled as he continued, "Not only that, they also ordered us to cover the Japs' retreat. This was practically sending us to our deaths! I was so scared of being used as cannon fodder that I ran out with the brothers I was close to."

Jiang Wenming kept staring at Kong Fengxing's expression and eyes, trying to determine whether he was lying from his subtle changes.

Kong Fengxing's face was a little pale, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but there was only fear and terror in his eyes, and no guilt.

Jiang Wenming took the medicine bottle from Xu Yan, poured out a pill and gave it back to Xu Yan.

Kong Fengxing looked at the poison in Jiang Wenming's hand in horror. His body trembled involuntarily, and his legs seemed to have lost all their strength, and he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Jiang Wenming mercilessly forced the poison into Kong Fengxing's mouth, lifted his chin up, and watched him swallow it.

He then patted Kong Fengxing's body, which was trembling with fear, indifferently and said, "Don't worry, as long as the news you said is true, we will naturally give you the antidote."

Kong Fengxing stared at Jiang Wenming with wide eyes, looking at him suspiciously, and stammered, "Really?"

His voice was filled with despair and fear, as if he had just seen himself dying from a ruptured intestine.

After all, he was only sixteen years old! He still had younger brothers and sisters to take care of. How could he die so easily?

Jiang Wenming noticed Kong Fengxing's doubts about him. He snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't have time to joke with you! If you see those devils again, you'd better be tough!"

Xu Yan looked at the young Kong Fengxing and said, "Kid, everyone is raised by their parents. Who can really not be afraid of death? Do you think you can live well after being a traitor for so long?"

After hearing this, Kong Fengxing lowered his head in shame. He knew what it felt like to be called a traitor and a traitor to the country. It was worse than death.

He had also witnessed those brave and fearless heroes on the battlefield who were not afraid of the Japanese and were even willing to sacrifice their lives.

Kong Fengxing was full of admiration for them and he also hoped that he could be as brave as them.

However, the fear deep in his heart prevented him from taking that step.

He was not afraid of death, but he was really afraid of the severe pain. He could not bear the torture.

Jiang Jiyun ran over and shouted to Jiang Wenming anxiously, "Uncle, Zhang Ange has found the Japs' temporary headquarters. He said they're packing up and preparing to evacuate. We need to hurry over!"

Jiang Wenming frowned when he heard this, turned to look at Xu Yan, and said in a deep voice: "You should take these seriously injured people away from here quickly. If a fight really breaks out, they will be in great danger."

His eyes slowly swept over the seriously injured soldiers lying on stretchers. Some of them were as pale as paper, some were still bleeding from their wounds, and some were even unconscious.

Looking at those people who were struggling to move forward with crutches, and those who were blindfolded and helpless, Jiang Wenming felt a pang of pain in his heart - these people were really no longer suitable to fight on the battlefield.

Xu Yan obviously realized this as well. He nodded solemnly and said, "Then I'll send someone back to report immediately. You guys try to wait for support here."

"It's just... the Japs are using civilians as targets. If a war really breaks out, you..." His voice gradually lowered, as if he couldn't bear to continue.

When Jiang Jiyun heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Xu Yan in disbelief and asked, "Uncle Xu, there's no need to send anyone away. We've already contacted them, and they're on their way. But why did the devils capture the civilians?"

Jiang Wenming and Xu Yan remained silent. Xu Yan, however, said with some confusion, "However, before we met you, we had already relocated the people from Jixiang Village and the neighboring villages. Could it be that the Japanese captured them from somewhere else?"

Jiang Jiyun told him, "There's really no one in Shaping Village, and Brother Chen Meng also said it doesn't look like they've been taken away. But is the place where you're moving the people safe?"

Xu Yan said cautiously, "They are all in the mountains. Under normal circumstances, the Japanese would not be able to find them. Besides, the men in the village also have guns. It is impossible for Xu Ling and his men not to send someone to send a letter for help."

"boom!"

"boom!"

Suddenly they heard the sound of bombing not far away, and thick black smoke drifted over.
