Perhaps it was the fear that the scattered rest of the various construction sites in the face of the shortage of supervision troops would give the prisoners of war a chance to escape. At the time of the break, the Japanese army rushed all the prisoners to rest together. The puppet army was responsible for the perimeter of the prisoner of war's resting place, and the Japanese army was only responsible for monitoring the puppet army.

It may be that he is afraid that these prisoners of war will not be easy to manage in Baiqi Town, or he may be worried that the residents of the town will sympathize with these prisoners of war and cover the escape of these prisoners of war. So when these prisoners of war were resting, the Japanese army did not enter the town. Instead, a temporary shelter was fenced off with barbed wire outside the town as a place to rest after work.

Anyway, for the Japanese army, the construction of the road is not only a 100-foot section, and it needs to be constantly transferred as the project progresses. It is better to have more than one thing. Although this puppet garrison squadron is a puppet army stationed at a hundred feet. But because the Japanese army refused to enter the town to rest, they could only be transferred out to accompany them outside the town.

And after a day of intense labor, the prisoners of war were exhausted at this time. After eating a baby's fist-sized nest head for dinner, plus a bowl of porridge that could be seen as a human figure, he slept on the ground with the only straw mat under him, wrapped in a tattered military uniform.

The puppet soldiers who were in charge of guarding also entered a state of drowsiness one after another, and even a few sentries on the periphery were dozing off with guns there. The prisoners of war rested, and the Japanese soldiers naturally did not stay up all night here. Except for the two machine gunners, who were also drowsy at this time as surveillance posts, they were still there, and the others also slept in the tent.

The Japanese army was busy sleeping, and the puppet army would not be so loyal. The prisoners of war relied on shovels and hoes to build roads without any machinery at their disposal. And under the guard of the Japanese with whips and sticks, they could not be lazy, so it was naturally heavy physical labor. These puppet soldiers who are responsible for supervising and guarding the work, of course, are also very hard.

On the one hand, it was necessary to monitor that these prisoners of war could not escape, and on the other hand, they had to collect food and satisfy the tricky appetite of the imperial army. The most important thing was that the prisoners of war had to work, and they also had to wave the whips to urge the prisoners of war to work. These prisoners of war should not be allowed to be lazy and slippery, and give the imperial army a grinder.

In addition to the need to patrol back and forth, under the hard work and labor, it is natural to be exhausted at the end of the day. So after finishing work, except for a few guard posts, they all rested early. Even the guards were fishing there, and there wasn't even a single checkpoint. This rabble, now the nerves are very relaxed.

As for the Eighth Road, there are so many imperial troops in Huguan now. They themselves are hard to protect, where do they still have the courage to fight their own ideas? And the prisoners of war, after being captured, are very honest, and there are Japanese troops watching inside. Just do your own perimeter vigilance, there is no need to show yourself too much.

At this moment, these puppet soldiers didn't expect that a sharp knife was already hanging over their heads at this moment. A group of Balu, whom they thought had been hiding for a long time, were lying in ambush less than three hundred meters away from them, always observing them, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

When Liu Lianming, a first-class cadre of the whole regiment and company, was the only watch that was issued, the hands pointed to the time of action. Liu Lianming took his platoon without the slightest hesitation, and quickly killed a few puppet army sentries who had been targeted by him for a long time.

For his troops, doing this work is quite skillful in holding the handle. If you deal with the Japanese army, you may need to be more cautious. But against these rabble of pseudo-guards, it is absolutely a breeze. If he can deal with a few puppet army sentries who are fishing, he Liu Lianming will have no face to meet people.

After cleaning up a few sentinels who were still in a state of fishing, Liu Lianming didn't dare to have any stay. Carrying a Southern-style pistol as an ornament and carrying a saber, the real weapon is inserted in the back belt. With a reconnaissance platoon carrying a Type 38 rifle on their backs, each of them with a sharp blade hidden in his sleeve, he went directly to the rest place of the Japanese army.

When touching the rest place of the Japanese army, Liu Lianming simply swaggered directly, using the Japanese military uniform on his body as a cover. And the main force of the pseudo-garrison behind him can't be dealt with by them, so naturally there is a connector of the second battalion. As for them, the main goal is to take out the dozen or so Japanese soldiers.

Even if there were puppet soldiers along the way, no one dared to come forward to ask when they saw these imperial soldiers. At most, there was a person secretly muttering why these imperial troops came, why didn't the sentry outside return? It's just that the urine sex given by these Japanese slaps at every turn makes these puppet soldiers dare not ask more even if they are suspicious.

In addition, this puppet army has received a report, and a stream of eight roads has flowed into Huguan from Hubei in the north. The imperial army is mobilizing troops to encircle it, so that while they are supervising the work, they should also pay attention to the vigilance of this force of the Eighth Route that may move south. For these pseudo-garrisons, since there is a sweep of the imperial army in the north, the arrival of these imperial troops is not an accident.

And these pseudo-garrisons don't know that these imperial troops are not imperial troops at all. At the same time, the Eighth Road of a company had already followed behind this imperial army at this time and touched their side. A machine-gun emplacement, which was in charge of perimeter vigilance, had been quietly touched. The machine gun that was originally used to guard the outside world has now turned its muzzle inward.

Liu Lianming took him in a platoon, and after approaching the internal guard area under the responsibility of the Japanese army, he immediately divided into two routes. All the way to the Japanese soldiers who were sleeping in the tents, and all the way to the Japanese soldiers, which was used as a surveillance prisoner of war and a guard post, was a machine-gun fire point.

Just when the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the guard fortifications were still wondering where these friendly troops were coming in person. A soldier from a reconnaissance squad had already quietly touched it. When the two Japanese machine gunners in the fortifications were about to open their mouths to ask which part of the friendly troops who had somehow appeared here, the mouths were gagged and two daggers had already stabbed into their necks.

At the same time when the machine gun fortifications were solved, the two squads led by Liu Lianming himself, each carrying a dagger of his own, had successfully entered the tent of the Japanese army. After entering the tent, Liu Lianming observed the situation with the help of the lantern hanging in the tent and waved his hand. The soldiers behind him each dealt with one and directly touched the Japanese army's marching bed.

With a bayonet down, a detachment of Japanese soldiers barely made a sound, and all of them were quietly resolved. Things went smoothly, but they were all a little beyond Liu Lianming's own expectations. And at this moment, behind them, a company of the second battalion, also under the leadership of He Sanliang and the commander of the second battalion, surrounded the puppet army on the periphery who didn't know what was going on here.

In front of the bright bayonets, and the muzzles of several machine guns. The most important thing is that the squadron leader, who was woken up from his sleep, found that a shell gun with a wide open nose had been pushed up to the back of his head. Without the slightest hesitation, he ordered his subordinates who were still trying to resist to surrender immediately.

The battle went smoothly on this side, and the problem was basically solved without firing a single shot. When the prisoners of war who were escorted to do hard labor woke up from their sleep, they found that the fierce Japanese soldiers and the puppet soldiers who fought for the tigers had either turned into a pile of corpses, or they were honestly squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Since he was captured, there had been no prisoner of war who had suffered less, and he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw this scene in front of him. They don't even know the identities of these people who have been degraded from heaven to save themselves. Especially those who wore Japanese military uniforms and carried blood-dripping bayonets in their hands, which made these groups of prisoners of war even more confused.

Why are the Japanese still killing each other? These Japanese soldiers not only disarmed the puppet army, but also killed their own comrades? This group of numb prisoners of war, who have been tortured since they were captured, have frightened eyes, you look at me, I look at you, all with a look of bewilderment.

Seeing the overwhelmed expressions on the faces of these prisoners of war, Ma Yongcheng and He Sanliang, who followed the actions of the second battalion, immediately began to do their work. And sent people to watch those pseudo guards, and immediately used the grain on the construction site to cook. At dinner, Liu Lianming's scouts had already discovered that each of these prisoners of war was given only a fist-sized acorn noodle nest.

This time to rescue them, whether they are taken away or released on the spot, their physical strength may not be able to keep up. At least when deciding on their next move, let them eat a full meal and regain their strength. What's more, there are also their own troops, and they haven't eaten since they were transferred out of Shililing.

Whatever the next move, the fighters have to be fed. The Japanese puppet army not only hoarded a batch of grain here, although most of it was coarse grain, but it was also a hot meal anyway. In addition to putting a part of the grain into the soldiers' already empty food bags. The rest of the grain was all made into food.

Looking at the gobbling up prisoners of war, Ma Yongcheng and He Sanliang both shook their heads. When these captives had dinner, Ma Yongcheng and He Sanliang asked about these captives. Only then did I know that these people were all prisoners of the 27th Army of the Central Army, and that the captured personnel of the 40th Army and the New Fifth Army were all taken away yesterday. As for where they went, it is not clear to these prisoners of war.

Among the prisoners of war, the highest rank was only a lieutenant, and the only officer with the rank of lieutenant, and the remaining five or six were second lieutenants. Those officers above the rank of lieutenant were taken directly to Kaifeng after being captured. They were all in the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army, and after several hard battles, they were not able to stand out, and finally ran out of ammunition and food, and the troops were broken up and captured.

After listening to the stories of these captives about their experiences of being captured, He Sanliang pondered for a moment and asked what these people would do in the future? It's just that these people are at a loss, and they don't know where to go now. In addition to being scattered, all of their troops that could stand out had been withdrawn or were still operating further south. Even the troops who are still in Jinnan, they don't know where they are.

Facing these captives who didn't know where to go, He Sanliang was also a little big for a while. If these people are dismissed on the spot, I am afraid they will not be able to escape the fate of being arrested again. The little money on his body has long been collected by the puppet soldiers who made a fortune. If you don't have money, you can't go far, and it's impossible to change your clothes.

Wearing this military uniform, they will not be found if they can't go far at all, and no ordinary people dare to take them in. If they are not dismissed, there is no way to transfer to the war with these troops. After thinking about it, He Sanliang, who had no choice for a while, turned his gaze to Ma Yongcheng for help. But the problem is that apart from mobilizing them to follow and dismiss them on the spot, Ma Yongcheng has nothing to do.
