Chapter 409

In the prison, after Leitao and Meng Xiaoyu secured the keys, they dashed toward the cell block. Along the way, scattered Japanese Army military police attempted to intercept them, but thanks to their seamless coordination, the enemies were felled one after another. They opened the cells one by one, revealing prisoners ranging from bandits and New Fourth Army soldiers to ordinary civilians. In their eyes, the surprise of newfound freedom was mixed with the complex emotions of having survived a brush with death. Standing on an elevated spot, Leitao shouted, "Brothers and fellow citizens, the Japanese devils locked us up here to crush our will to resist, but can we bow down to them? No! Now, whoever wants revenge, whoever wants to break out, follow me! Let's get out of this prison and show the devils in the county town what we're made of!" The crowd roared in response, the sound making the prison walls tremble. Leitao's words ignited a fire in their hearts. The prisoners responded in earnest, their eyes flashing with determination and fury. The bandits cast aside their usual craftiness, the New Fourth Army soldiers stood tall, and the ordinary citizens clenched their fists. At that moment, they had only one goal: to wipe out every single Japanese military policeman in the prison.
