Chapter 143: Walking into the Hot Spring Garden with the Japanese Devils

  The Japanese squad, used as bait by Ikeda Koji, immediately turned around and sped back when they heard the explosion of hand grenades from behind. The mountain road that was originally about a 30-minute drive away was covered in less than 10 minutes, but it was too late.

  At this time, Dong Li Mao led the special agent team and had already disappeared into the dense forest behind the mountain ridge. Even if the Japanese devils wanted to chase them, it was too late.

  When Ikeda Kōji's main force arrived, they could do nothing but collect the bodies of over 200 dead men. Just as Ikeda reported to the regimental commander that Operation Fishing Rod had ended in failure, the regimental commander flew into a rage and ordered Ikeda's battalion to hurry back to Longling, allowing only the small decoy unit used for Operation Fishing Rod to enter Tengchong City.

  This is the rare account that later generations saw in historical records, because Pool's large team entered the city at night and left early in the morning, staying in Tengchong City for only one day and two nights, and was strictly prevented from leaking, so ordinary civilians generally did not know that the Japanese devils had entered the city on the evening of May 5th. They only saw dozens of Japanese devils on four trucks " swaggering" into Tengchong County on the afternoon of May 7th.

  The leader of this small team, the Japanese devil's squad leader, was named Okazaki Katsuo. Before becoming a soldier, he was a samurai and did not look like the intentionally ugly characters in today's movies and TV dramas. On the contrary, he was quite handsome and very popular among women. However, his evil heart was completely opposite to his appearance. During the Nanjing Massacre, his hands were stained with the blood of Chinese compatriots, and he was a thorough butcher. His nickname "Fast Sword Hand" was earned during the Nanjing Massacre due to his quick and accurate killing. The team he led was almost entirely trained by him to be butchers, and not one of them had fewer than several Chinese compatriots' blood on their hands.

  On the evening of entering Tengchong City, Okazaki Kiyoo gave his subordinates a night off, letting this group of butchers who had been fighting for days relax and unwind. After all, the geothermal hot spring resources in Tengchong were very similar to those in Japan, making Okazaki Kiyoo and his men feel as if they had returned home.

  This has brought suffering to the women of Tongzhou City, these butchers, who broke into civilian homes, didn't care about gold, silver, jewels and other valuable items, in their eyes, there were only women, as long as they looked pleasing to the eye, regardless of age, like beasts, they would throw them to the ground, tear off their clothes and rape them.

  Which man would watch his own woman being humiliated in front of him and remain unmoved? Almost all the husbands of the families that were humiliated were killed by these butchers. The main victims were those so-called wealthy households. The little devils knew clearly that only houses with impressive-looking residences might have beautiful women inside. Under the leadership of Wang Jinfu's security team, they specifically targeted those relatively affluent households, and the Japanese butchers wanted women while the security team members took advantage of the situation to rob money and valuables, each taking what they needed, cooperating in a remarkably tacit understanding.

  Wang Jinfai personally accompanied Okazaki Katsuo and a soldier to the most famous hot spring resort in Tengchong City.

  When Okazaki Kikuo stepped into the hot spring resort, the girls inside let out a loud cry and ran back to their rooms in fright, not daring to come out. Two passing merchants also quickly lowered their heads and slipped away.

  Okazaki Katsuhiro pretended not to see, with his hands behind his back and his legs shoulder-width apart, standing steadily in the reception hall of Onsen-en, his eyes curiously scanning the hall.

  The madam of the hot spring resort, Cuī Jiě, heard the girls' cries outside and came out to take a look. She was shocked to see Wáng Jīn Cái standing in the middle of the hall with a Japanese military officer.

  "Green sister, what's wrong with your girls today? When guests come to the door, they don't even smile and welcome them. This is too unprofessional! Hurry up and call out all the girls! Welcome Lieutenant Okazaki of the Great Japanese Imperial Army!" Wang Jinfai was a regular customer at Wenshengyuan, and as soon as he saw Green Sister, he started shouting loudly. In his eyes, prostitutes were just playthings, and since they were selling smiles, they should smile and welcome any guest they met.

  "King Fung, you're really nothing! You've surrendered to the Japanese so quickly! Tell this little devil that we Chinese sisters don't welcome inhumane beasts!"

  "You..." Wang Jinfai was so angry that he raised his hand to slap Cui's powdered face.

  "King, hitting women is not allowed!" Okazaki Kiyoo, who had been in China for a long time, could understand Chinese and speak it too. He reached out and grabbed King's wrist, which was still raised to strike.

  Cuī jiě heard that this Japanese person could speak Chinese, and her heart was shocked. The words she had just spoken to Wáng Jīn Cái were probably also heard by the other party, but she wasn't afraid. She raised her head, her eyes staring at ōkawa Kiyoshi: "Since you can understand what I'm saying, then please get out of here now!"

  Okazaki Kiyoo didn't get angry at all, instead he smiled and said to Cuī Jiě: "In Japan, we have geishas, China also has geishas. Men like to come here, pay money to seek pleasure. Don't worry, no matter how much money, I'll take care of it."

  "Money stained with Chinese people's blood! We don't want it!" Cui Jie hummed and said.

  Ogawa Kiyoo's face sank when he heard Cuī Jiě's words, as if he was about to get angry. Wang Jinfu saw that things were not going well and didn't want to see Cuī Jiě being killed by the little devil, so he took a few steps forward and whispered in her ear:

  "Cui Jie, be sensible. If Okazaki, the squad leader, comes to your hot spring resort, it's because he thinks highly of you. As long as you serve him well, he'll take care of you in the future and your business will thrive. Otherwise, if he gets angry, he might rape and kill all the girls here, including you, and then burn down the resort. By that time, even if you appeal to the King of Hell, it'll be too late!"

  "Get out! You damn cur! We whores are not as lowly as you! Why don't you let your wife go sleep with the little devil!" Cui sister pushed Wang Jinfu away with one palm and shouted loudly.

  "You... you really don't know how to appreciate good things, do you want to be punished for not drinking?! I'm doing this for your own good..." Wang Jinfai had an affair with Cui sister in the past, and besides, he often got benefits from Wenshengyuan, so he was really worried that Okazaki Katsuo would kill all the girls at Wenshengyuan. If that happened, not only would he lose his happy place, but also a share of benefits, which was not what he wanted to see happen.

  Okazaki Kiyoo's face was getting increasingly unsightly, he originally didn't want to use force, wanting to comfortably enjoy the feeling of returning home and finding a geisha, but instead encountered this woman who harbored hatred towards Japan, his hand subconsciously went to touch the samurai sword hanging at his waist.

  Okazaki Kiyoo's action was seen by Cuī Jiě, who also reached for the gun at her back waist. If this Japanese devil dared to pull out his sword, she would pull out her gun and take him down first.

  All of this was seen by Li Yuanyuan hiding behind them. She quickly whispered a few words to the little red girl beside her.

  Just as Cuī Jiě and ōkawa Minoru were about to come to blows, Little Red Girl walked out from behind with a smile, swaying her slender waist: "Cuī Jiě, we have guests? Why didn't you call the sisters downstairs to welcome them?"

  The appearance of Little Red Girl made Okazaki Hayao immediately give up his plan to kill Sister Gui, because he was fascinated by the girl in front of him, staring blankly at Little Red Girl with both eyes, opening his mouth but not saying a word.

  Little Red Girl walked up to Cui Jie's side and whispered in her ear, "Cui Jie, the boss says to calm down, let me take care of this devil." As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Okazaki Shun with a flirtatious smile.

  Cuī jiě listened to Xiǎo Hóng Gūniáng's words, and seemed to have just thought of her true identity. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face as she said: "Since our Wēnquán Yuàn's young mistress is willing, then I, as her mother, can't say anything else."

  Little Red Girl, despite her young age, is quite experienced in the warm spring courtyard. She has seen all sorts of customers and can handle anyone, including Ryota Okazaki, whom she treats as just another ordinary customer based on her past experience in the pleasure quarters. Moreover, she also bears the task entrusted to her by Li Yuanyuan earlier, which means that she is executing a mission rather than selling herself.

  "What should I... call you..." Little Red Riding Hood leaned in, her body pressed against Okazaki Hayao's, her eyebrows and eyes fluttering as she asked in a soft voice.

  Okazaki Kiyoo was taken aback by Little Red Riding Hood's move, and his soul was somewhat unsettled. A beast who had killed countless people couldn't hold back under Little Red Riding Hood's temptation, and there was a reason for this.

  Okazaki Katsuhiro had a first love girlfriend, the most unforgettable woman in his life, and Little Red Riding Hood happened to look exactly like that first love girlfriend.

  That's a man's weakness, no matter what kind of man he is, there's always a fatal weakness.

  If Okazaki Shun didn't come to the hot spring resort, his future fate might have been smooth sailing. However, he followed Wang Jinfu into the hot spring resort and met Little Red Girl instead.

  While Okazaki Kiyoo's first love girlfriend, in order to serve the Emperor, voluntarily joined the comfort women corps during the Japanese invasion of China's three northeastern provinces, becoming a glorious Japanese woman who comforted the Imperial Japanese Army. This is also the main reason for Okazaki Kiyoo's twisted mind. He never went to find comfort women from mainland Japan to comfort himself, thinking that would be an insult to the person he deeply loved. So he used this physical and mental repression entirely on fighting against Chinese people, almost crazily slaughtering Chinese people as a way to vent his inner discontent. Who exactly he was dissatisfied with, only Okazaki Kiyoo himself knew.

  "Ryoko..." Okazaki Katsuo, lost in thought, stretched out the hand that had killed many people and gently stroked Little Red's cheek. His eyes revealed a warm smile as he truly regarded Little Red as his beloved Ryoko, the Japanese woman.

  Okazaki Toshio said in Japanese.

  Little Red Girl thought she was being called, so she stretched out her jade-like hand even more gently and stroked the back of her fingers on Okazaki Tsukasa's face, saying: "Officer, why don't you go to my house instead?"

  Li Yuanyuan understood the Japanese sentence that Okazaki Hayao had just spoken, it was a person's name, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face.
