If all these people were Japanese troops, according to Li Shaoyi's previous instructions, there would be no need for them to keep any prisoners. But this was just the Japanese army, and many of them were just trying to make a living, so they should be given a chance.

Besides, didn't Deputy Captain Cui say this? These people are excellent laborers. As Captain Li had previously explained, many areas in Tongzhou need labor. Hiring them would be expensive, wouldn't it? But if we use these people, two steamed buns and cold water a day, plus some whips and sticks, they'll do anything for you.

The people of the First Regiment of the Autonomous Government didn't care about anything at this moment. When they heard people around them say that they would not be killed if they handed over their guns, some of them felt that the guns in their hands were poisonous. They quickly threw them aside and held up their hands tightly, fearing that people outside would not see them.

At least eight or nine hundred people managed to get out. As for the rest, you can only blame your bad luck. Although you are still alive, you can't care about so many things now. On the day you became traitors, no matter what the reason was, you should have thought that there would be retribution today.

"No more nonsense, all the Japanese, stand up! If you know any of them, report them immediately. I won't make things difficult for you today. If no one dares, then I will treat you all as Japanese. Do you know our policy on dealing with the Japanese?"

Huang Peng said in a majestic manner that he was just a patrol team leader, but after the war broke out, he was most familiar with the situation near the battlefield, so Cui Minsheng entrusted him with the position of commander-in-chief of the front line. Now he was commanding eleven patrol teams, which was very exciting.

"He, he, he, all of them, sir, all of them."

"Sir, these people are from the Northeast. They don't seem to be Japanese, but they speak Japanese."

"And these few, they are Koreans."

The Chinese in the team had also heard that if you were Chinese and fell into Li Shaoyi's hands, as long as you didn't kill anyone, you would have more or less a chance, but if you were Japanese, you would probably have to wait until your next life to get this chance.

Why are there still Koreans?

Huang Peng was a little confused. Looking at the more than 40 people in front of him, there was nothing to say about the 20 or so Japanese devils. He just dragged them down and chopped them down.

Those who come from the Northeast and speak Japanese are said to be mixed-race Japanese and Chinese. There is nothing much to say about that. You have come all the way here to pretend to be Japanese, so we will fulfill your wish and treat you as a Japanese.

"Captain Huang, as far as I know, Korea was a colony occupied by Japan, but these Koreans are not good people. Japan recruited soldiers from the local area, and after arriving on our land, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of atrocities. Just treat them as Japanese."

A team leader in the team heard about this.

"Don't you think it's a shame to kill them all? If we keep them all alive, they'll work from four in the morning until ten at night, which means they can work for more than ten hours a day. It's better to die of exhaustion than to be killed like this, right?"

Huang Peng suddenly remembered something.

"Captain Huang's words make sense. Should we send a telegram to the higher-ups? Especially these Koreans. Killing them with just one shot is too easy for them. They work in the labor camp every day, and the hardest and most tiring work is done by them."

"You're right. Death is the most merciful form of judgment. I don't think they should be killed, including those Japanese just now. They should be allowed to live. They should be made to do things we don't do every day, and they shouldn't even have a break."

"Yes, we must make them suffer a fate worse than death."

The team leaders were talking to each other. Some of them could understand Chinese, and their faces were extremely scared. If they had known this would happen, they would have died on the battlefield.

"Pull them all back first. Tie up one arm with five people. If anyone dares to escape, kill them immediately."

Huang Peng knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long. He had just interrogated an officer from the first regiment and learned that there were two more regiments behind. This was not the time to discuss this, so he should take the man back first and let the captain take care of it.

The group split into two groups. One group took these people back, while the other group, according to the patrol team's organization, began to rush out of the scope of Tongzhou County and conduct reconnaissance ahead to see where the two regiments were.

Cui Minsheng had already figured out this small-team combat method. According to Cui Minsheng, this method would maximize our firepower. What's wrong with an infantry regiment? We only used twenty small teams, about two hundred people, and we completely wiped them out.

Twenty-four of our men were killed in the battle, fifteen were seriously injured, and the minor injuries were negligible. After a little bandaging, they can return to the battle.

Major Hashimoto and Brigadier General Tian also saw the people who escaped. Of the entire infantry regiment, only less than fifty people ran back. According to them, Li Shaoyi's army adopted a new way of fighting, using the mobility advantage of vehicles to circle around us and take advantage of their firepower, making it impossible for us to fight back.

Moreover, there were artillery pieces from no less than one artillery company around us, which made it impossible for us to gather together. When the artillery pieces fell, the officers couldn't find their soldiers, and the soldiers couldn't find their officers, so they could only run around everywhere. In such a situation, how could an entire regiment be wiped out?

"Bullshit, where's your leader?"

Brigade Commander Tian kicked the soldier angrily, hitting him in the heart.

The troops of these three regiments were the foundation of his foothold in North China. But after only one morning, one regiment had been wiped out.

Isn't this nonsense?

If he continues at this rate, he will probably be left alone by this time tomorrow. Major Hashimoto had heard that Li Shaoyi's men were using German equipment, but even so, it was impossible for an entire infantry regiment to be wiped out in just one morning. It was really too ridiculous.

Major Hashimoto had no time to beat anyone, so he called all the soldiers who had escaped back and questioned them one by one. When he asked the fourth person, Major Hashimoto despaired. Although these people's answers were different, they were not from the same unit after all, but combining what they said, it was basically the same as what the first person said, that is, this infantry regiment was gone.

"Order the troops to stop advancing and revise the battle plan."

Major Hashimoto grabbed Brigade Commander Tian who was beating someone...
