Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3016 Deceiving the Japanese into Paying a Pledge of Allegiance!

But Liu Jinbiao still wanted to try and see if he could persuade the Japanese soldiers to save people.

Liu Jinbiao was very clear about the other party's mission; if the other party spoke up, the massacre in the mine would definitely stop.

At worst, he would have to convince them to take him to the Japanese officer who gave the order. Once he had that man under control and prevented him from killing anyone, all that would be left was to wait for the battalion commander to arrive with his men.

Liu Jinbiao's gaze then swept across Watanabe, Suzuki, and Kurai's faces, and he tentatively said:

"Brothers, although we are unarmed right now, we can't just stand by and watch those miners be killed by the Japanese. We've been in this mine for quite some time and know a lot of people. Those brothers are our friends. We can't just stand by and watch them die!"

Suzuki's eyes flickered, and he forced a smile, but waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu, you're putting us in a difficult position. What can we do? These Japanese devils have guns. If we act rashly, we won't be able to save anyone, and we'll get ourselves killed."

Watanabe frowned, pretending to be deep in thought. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Brother Liu, Li Er is right. We are outnumbered and outmatched and have no way to fight the Japanese. Let's wait and see. Maybe some anti-Japanese forces will come to our rescue soon."

Liu Jinbiao cursed the two Japanese soldiers inwardly for their cunning, but he didn't give up and continued, "Brother Zhuzi, we were all captured by the Japanese together, so we're in the same boat. Now those miners are in grave danger. If we can save their lives, that would be a great deed. Besides, maybe if we save them, the anti-Japanese forces outside will look at us with more respect. Wouldn't it be better to fight the Japanese alongside them than to go back to farming?"

At this moment, Cangjing interjected, "Brother Liu, your idea is too naive. Even if we wanted to rescue people, we don't have the ability. This mine is full of Japanese soldiers. If we make any move, we will be discovered, and then we will die even more miserably."

When Liu Jinbiao saw Cangjing speak, his heart skipped a beat. Knowing that there was a chance, he quickly continued, "Brother Dachun, we don't necessarily have to fight the Japanese head-on. We can find an opportunity to sneak up to the Japanese commander, tie up the Japanese officer, and then use him as a hostage. The Japanese will definitely release us and those miners."

Watanabe chuckled inwardly at Liu Jinbiao's naiveté, but outwardly pretended to be persuaded, frowning as he said, "Brother Liu, your idea does make some sense. But how do we get close to the Japanese commander? There are Japanese patrols everywhere in this mine; we have no chance to get close at all."

Seeing that Watanabe had relented, Liu Jinbiao was overjoyed and quickly said, "Brother Zhuzi, I've been looking around the mine these past few days and found that the Japanese patrols still have loopholes. Besides, right now the Japanese are busy killing people, and the mine is in chaos. We should have a chance to make our move. When we capture the Japanese officers and negotiate with them, we might actually be able to save those miners."

Suzuki and Kurai exchanged a glance, a hint of cunning flashing in their eyes. Suzuki feigned hesitation and said, "Brother Liu, this method is a bit risky, but to save those miners, we can give it a try. However, we need to plan carefully to ensure everything goes smoothly."

At this point, Suzuki was just stalling for time; in an hour or two, those miners would probably have already been executed.

Slaughtering unarmed miners like this is quick and easy. Hundreds of them stand in a row, then machine guns fire a barrage of bullets. Thousands of them can be executed in less than an hour.

But Liu Jinbiao had been working in intelligence for many years, so how could he not see through Suzuki's little tricks?

So he said directly, "What's there to discuss? We brothers have decided to join the Anti-Japanese Brigade, so we should at least offer a pledge of allegiance, right? If this works out, won't the Anti-Japanese Brigade look up to us? They might even give us official positions, and we can go home and bring honor to our ancestors, right?"

Suzuki and the others remained silent, because the massacre of the miners was an order from headquarters and Section Chief Kitahara, and they dared not disobey it.

At this moment, seeing that Suzuki was still hesitating, Liu Jinbiao continued, "Brothers, we're all in this together now. The longer we drag this out, the more miners will die, and the slimmer our chances will become. Think about it, once the anti-Japanese brigade really comes in and finds out that we're all talk and no action, will they still trust us? Now is the best time for us to prove ourselves!"

Watanabe and Kurai exchanged a glance, and finally nodded slowly. Although orders from above were inviolable, their mission was to infiltrate the anti-Japanese brigade. And to successfully infiltrate the brigade, they needed a compelling testament to their loyalty.

Moreover, they thought again that although doing so went against the headquarters' original intention, it would make their infiltration more successful.

Moreover, if they want to obtain core intelligence, the higher the rank, the better.

After weighing the pros and cons, Watanabe gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, Brother Liu, let's do it your way and give it a shot!"

Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, the six men quietly left the kitchen, their path filled with gunshots, screams, and roars.

Liu Jinbiao's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace, silently praying that he could save more people in time.

As they approached the location where the Japanese officer had shouted, the sight before them made everyone gasp in horror.

At this moment, the largest square in the center of the mine was already a ruin, with corpses lying haphazardly.

The surviving miners either hid or fled, engaging in a fierce battle with the Japanese and their puppet troops, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

"Quickly, we need to find that Japanese officer right away!"

Liu Jinbiao gave the order in a low voice, effectively becoming the commander of the six men.

They carefully bypassed several points of fire and finally saw the Japanese officer in the very center of the square, directing the Japanese soldiers to capture and shoot.

At this time, most of the Japanese soldiers had been transferred to suppress the miners' uprising, leaving the defense forces quite weak. Only four Japanese soldiers were protecting the Japanese officer.

In the firelight, his rank of captain was clearly visible.

Seeing this, Liu Jinbiao smiled slightly and pointed at the Japanese officer, saying, "The Japanese officer only has four men with him, but we have six. Brothers, be ruthless when you grab that Japanese officer. That will be our pledge to join the Anti-Japanese Brigade."

At this moment, a ruthless look appeared on the faces of Watanabe and the others.

Although that Japanese officer was also a member of his Yamato people.

But at this point, in order for them to be promoted and make money in the future, they had no choice but to ask the other party for a small sacrifice!
