Chapter Eighty-Six: Why Is It So Powerful?
With the Japanese army launching a full-scale war of aggression against China, the Japanese army, which was in urgent need of all kinds of young and strong laborers, not only sent some prisoners of war to work as coolies in factories and mines, but also forcibly recruited laborers in the ruling area to build various infrastructure facilities for them.
Although the little devils claim to the outside world, these young people are only recruited to work for them, and they can still get paid after the work is completed. But for many of the forcibly recruited laborers, some have never been able to return to their hometowns since the day they were taken away.
Compared with the laborers forcibly recruited by the little devils to the domestic battlefield, those who are a little lucky in their lifetime can more or less pick up a life and return to their hometown. But for many laborers who were recruited abroad by the little devils, that was the real dark hellish life.
If it is said that the Zhong Yan army likes to force strong men to join the army, as long as they are lucky enough to work well in the army, they may be able to mix up in the army, at least they don't have to worry about starvation. But the laborers who were captured by the little devils were not so lucky.
In many cases, in order to meet the deadline, the little devils often ignore the bodies of the workers, and use violence and threats to force these arrested laborers to repair the little devils' projects, and this time this is the case at the railway construction site in Lincheng.
According to the recent reconnaissance and investigation by the guerrillas, the little devils also seem to know that rabbits do not eat the grass on the edge of the nest, and in order to avoid arousing too much public anger among the local people, most of these migrant workers forcibly recruited by the little devils came from Jiangsu and Henan provinces.
For these laborers who were caught on the train by the little devils and pulled directly to the construction site in the city, some of them didn't know they were there. Even if you ask where you come from, it's unlikely that you'll find your way home.
This kind of situation, which is called heaven and not earth, undoubtedly makes many young people seem full of worry. Especially when I saw the little devils watching the construction site, they either scolded and beat or even killed people, and many workers felt that their lives were not guaranteed.
Just looking at the little devils with guns who are guarding the construction site all day, no matter how bold and strong they are, they dare not say that they will definitely be able to outrun the bullets. And most importantly, where can they go after escaping from the construction site?
The place is unfamiliar, and this is also a fallen area, once they are caught by the little devils and the puppet army, they will still be a dead end. After a long time, many young people can only be like the walking corpse, suffering at this construction site.
Just when these laborers are in a desperate state of insecurity, they are desperate for someone to save them from life. The third detachment commanded by Zhu Zixi was also ordered to lurk at the railway construction site and officially launch an attack on the little devils.
Because the construction site pulled up the barbed wire in advance, so the little devils did not have many troops deployed here. In addition, the construction site is not too far from the city, and if there is any movement, I believe the defenders in the city can also hear it.
In this kind of open field, the little devils felt that even if the Eighth Route Army sneaked attack, their chances of victory would be relatively large. So much so that the Japanese squadron, which was responsible for the security of the labor camp, felt that the Eighth Route Army should not dare to sneak attack their camp.
As a result, it didn't come to pass, Zhao Tiehu is a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense. Although the railway construction site is not far from Lincheng, it takes at least an hour for the little devil to send troops to the construction site from receiving the request for help.
With the current offensive speed of the Eighth Route Army, it is believed that it will be enough to rescue the laborers. As for the wild, maybe the little devil will have a big advantage during the day. But at night, it was the world of the Eighth Route Army.
The artillery position was set outside the range of the little devil's searchlight, and after some correction, Zhu Zixi gave the order for the shelling. More than a dozen mortar shells, drawn into hot but dazzling meteors, then crashed into the camp of the little devils.
The moment the shells flew into the sky, the little devil in charge of the camp guard blew the whistle in his mouth. But compared to the reaction speed of the little devil, the landing speed of the cannonball is undoubtedly faster.
The explosion of 'boom, boom, boom' made the originally brightly lit little devil camp instantly darken. Many workers who were working on the railway line were also frightened when they heard the explosion from the camp.
In the process, there were laborers lying on the ground, and soon saw the little devil standing not far in front of them, who seemed to have been shot to death by something. It's a pity that with the searchlight going out, many workers don't dare to move at will.
Just when the laborers felt that they should take the opportunity to escape, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Fellow villagers, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we are here to save you." Now it's dark, don't run around, find a place to hide. ”
This kind of official language is naturally understandable to many laborers from the two provinces. As for the Eighth Route Army, the laborers of the two provinces had also heard of it and knew that it was a unit dedicated to fighting the world for the poor.
Some laborers lying on the ground also whispered to each other: "Have you beaten a little devil in the eighth road?" ”
'If you can't fight, you'll talk about it when you're done!' It's easy to get killed if you run around in the dark! Let's lie on my stomach honestly! ’
The little devil sentry who was in charge of guarding the railway line naturally heard these shouts coming from the shadows. It's a pity that many little devils can't understand what these people are shouting in secret.
Some anxious little devils directly raised their guns and shot at the place where the sound came from. As a result, the flames that erupted from the muzzle of the guns quickly revealed their location. Waiting for these little devils to shoot were bullets coming from the other direction.
Accompanied by Zhu Zixi personally commanding the main force of the third detachment to attack the camp of the little devil with all his might, the special combat team member responsible for rescuing the laborers also said in a timely manner: "Shoot a flare and kill the little devil's sentry as soon as possible!" ”
'Yes! Get ready! ’
The special combat team members carrying flares quickly pulled out their flare guns and shot a flare into the sky. Although the flares did not provide a long time of illumination, it was enough for elite special operators to fire several shots.
Compared with the little devils who were attracted by the flares that suddenly lifted into the air, the special combat team members who closed their eyes in advance opened their eyes immediately after the flares lifted off. And the little devil was directly made to close his eyes by the sudden light.
Between this opening and closing, it is the test of life and death. Before many little devils could open their eyes, they felt that their bodies had been hit by bullets and fell to the ground screaming. At this moment, the special combat team members rushed forward.
'Quick, keep moving forward and clear the little devil's sentinels. The matter of rescuing the laborers was handed over to the follow-up troops. ’
The leader of the special operations team who led the team was very clear about their mission, and it was more about taking out the little devil sentries on the construction site. Make sure that the laborers are not shot by the little devils when they flee.
At this time, some of the laborers lying on the ground also looked at the special combat team members who rushed in front of them in amazement. Many laborers couldn't help but mutter: "This is the Eighth Route Army? Why is it so powerful? ”
Even if many laborers have never been soldiers, they can still clearly see that these people are more powerful than the little devils. Compared with the little devils who were in charge of guarding them before, these Eighth Route Army continued to advance and shoot those little devils who fought back.
Originally, in their eyes, the little devil who was compared to the devil was like a chicken being slaughtered in front of these Eighth Route Army. This situation really made these young workers stunned and unbelievable.
The soldiers of the third detachment, who followed the special operations team into the railway construction site, also stepped forward in time and said: "Fellow countrymen, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we are here to rescue you. Now please go this way, bend your waist as much as you can, and hurry up! ”
Seeing the appearance of a large number of Eighth Route Army, as well as the little devils who were retreating and didn't know where to flee, those young and strong laborers lying on the ground, they also knew that this was their only chance to escape. If you don't catch it, you might die here.
During this time, in order to rush to repair these railways, more than a dozen laborers have been beaten to death or exhausted by little devils. As long as the laborers still want to live, they are all grateful when they see the Eighth Route Army that came to rescue them from the sea of suffering.
Along the barbed wire cut in advance, many laborers who originally felt tired, regardless of hunger and weak legs, gritted their teeth and obeyed the command of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, quickly left the construction site, and escaped from this nightmare place.
At the same time, Zhu Zixi, who attacked the little devil's camp, launched a strong attack from three sides. In the face of the attack of the Eighth Route Army, which was large in number and powerful in firepower, the squadron of little devils stationed at the construction site still failed to resist for too long.
Looking at the soldiers who were constantly being killed, as well as the Eighth Route Army that had already rushed into the camp, the Japanese squadron leader who led the team could only say: "Withdraw, break through from the west!" Our reinforcements will arrive soon! ”
In the face of these little devils who broke through, Zhu Zixi did not let the troops catch up in a hurry. For the third detachment, their most important task tonight was to rescue the hundreds of young laborers who were imprisoned here.
Zhu Zixi, who sent a company to bite behind the little devil and enter the labor camp, also ordered the troops to start cleaning up the battlefield. Remove all the supplies stored in the camp by the little devils, and also take away the laborers who have been concentrated.
introduced his identity, and Zhu Zixi also said in a timely manner: "Folks, the little devils in the city, it is estimated that they will come over in a short time." So, if we have anything to say, we'll wait until we get to a safe place.
From now on, the townsfolk will follow our fighters, and you can tell us what difficulties there are. Rest assured, we will keep you safe. Now, let's get started! ”
'Sir, two of my fellows are sick and can't walk, what should I do?' This little devil's heart is black, there are still dozens of sick people in this shed, why can't he leave it alone! ’
'It's okay! I will send soldiers to carry these sick fellows away on stretchers. When I get to our base, I will ask a doctor to treat them. But now, we have to get on the road as soon as possible, and you can rest assured. ’
Call a company commander and ask him to quickly organize the soldiers to set up stretchers and bring these sick young laborers with them. Without waiting for the little devil reinforcements in the city to arrive, Zhu Zixi had already left the railway construction site smoothly with the third detachment.
Looking at the messy construction site and the labor camps that all ran out, the little devil commander who led the team was undoubtedly very angry. But these little devils don't know at all, after coming out this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to go back!
