Chapter XXVII: The Counterattack of the Prisoners of War

A large explosion occurred at the power plant near the coal mine, and the entire Zaozhuang area that used electricity was plunged into total darkness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor many people who are used to electricity, the sudden power outage naturally feels a little unexpected.

Compared with the Japanese soldiers living in Zaozhuang City, after seeing the sudden power outage, they quickly called the power plant to ask the reason. But for the people living near the coal mine, the flames and explosions that rose into the air were really surprising.

'Wow, the power plant blew up!' And the sound of gunfire, who is hitting the power plant? ’

In fact, when Zhao Tiehu drew up his battle plan for attacking the coal mines, he listed the power plant as a target that must be attacked. The large storage of this power plant has provided power support for the Japanese army to control Zaozhuang to a large extent.

Most of the machinery and equipment installed by the little devils in Zaozhuang need power supply from the power plant to operate normally. Now that the power plant has been bombed, the little devil wants to resume the operation of the power plant, but I am afraid that it will take a long time.

At least Zhao Tiehu knew very well that with the extension of the strategic supply line of the little devil's invasion of China, the little devil had built factories in many places in China, and these factories were seizing all the time to produce military supplies for the Japanese army on the front line.

Now, after blowing up the power plant, at least the many factories set up by the little devils in Zaozhuang can come to a standstill. And after losing the power supply, the little devil wants to continue to mine Zaozhuang's coal resources, but it is unlikely.

Upon learning of the attack on the power plant, garrison officer Akiya Kobayashi immediately ordered troops to assemble and send a gendarmerie to support. In this process, the garrison of the coal mine, which is closest to the power plant, naturally also sent troops to reinforce it.

Just when the Eighth Route Army cooperated with the local guerrillas, launched an attack on the defenders of the power plant, and blocked the garrison of the coal mine. Zhao Tiehu, who led the detachment directly under him, had successfully infiltrated the coal mine and launched an attack on the defenders of the coal mine.

Looking at the little devils and puppet soldiers who set up machine guns and guarded prisoners of war and laborers, Zhao Tiehu and his party first killed the little devil patrol who was patrolling the mining area. In this process, there are naturally miners who see this scene.

Some miners were shocked and said, "Look, the little devil is fighting with the little devil?" What's going on? ”

'Don't talk, those murderous little devils shouldn't be little devils. Wake up the big guys, we can't get out today. Did you hear the explosion just now? That must have been deliberately blown up. ’

When a miner with a nimble brain saw this scene, he immediately realized that someone was attacking the coal mine. As these miners guessed, after Zhao Tiehu eliminated the patrol, some people soon came to the miners' residence.

'Brothers miners, I am the Zaozhuang anti-Japanese guerrillas, and our troops are dealing with the little devils and puppet troops in the mining area. Hurry up and get ready, and leave with me later. Time is pressing, everyone must follow up later. ’

Zaozhuang anti-Japanese guerrillas!

Hearing that these miners who entered the shed suddenly revealed their identities, many miners who were caught or deceived were very surprised. But they all knew that this might be an opportunity for them to really escape the mines.

Whether it is a miner who has been caught or deceived, they have known that this is a cannibalistic coal mine during their time in the coal mine. I do cow and horse work, I eat pig and dog food, and I don't even think about wages.

Every time they see the puppet army throwing some corpses that have died of starvation, beating or even illness on mass graves near the mining area, many miners feel that maybe this is what will happen to them in the near future.

Now that there is a chance to live, how can they not cherish it?

In contrast to the shanty area where the miners lived, the latent guerrillas were responsible for communication with the underground party. The camp where the prisoners of war were held, the combat members who entered the camp in advance contacted the underground party several officers who had prestige among the prisoners of war.

Looking at these summoned officers, the combat team members also said directly: "Everyone, do you want to escape alive?" ”

'Think! But can you really get us out? The little devil is outside the camp, but he is heavily guarded. ’

You can rest assured that someone will take care of the sentinels later. Time is pressing, so I won't say much. Wait until you organize your troops and give you ten guns per team.

After you get the gun, I hope you will obey our orders and cooperate with us to solve the little devils in the mining area. After these guns are fired, first deal with the puppet soldiers guarding the camp and snatch the weapons in the hands of the puppet soldiers.

In short, if you want to get out of here alive, you must obey our commands. Only by working together will we have a chance to get out of here. As for whether you want to go home or return to your old army after you escape, we will not force it. ’

With the words of the combat team members and the underground party, and looking at the rifles and short guns dug out of the ground, the company and platoon commanders of these prisoner of war camps naturally looked very surprised, but they knew that they finally had the hope of escaping and saving their lives.

'Guns are limited, so wait until you call someone you can trust first and distribute the weapons and ammunition. As soon as the gunshots rang out outside, we immediately attacked, snatched the weapons of the little devils and the puppet army, and killed them without leaving a single piece of armor. ’

'Okay, done! Fight with the little devils! ’

These prisoners of war who were escorted to the coal mine by the little devils lived worse than those miners. Not to mention mining every day, sometimes they can't even eat, and many miners who were originally healthy are now skinny.

It's just that as a soldier, looking at the weapons that were issued to his hands again, the eyes of many soldiers showed a murderous aura. And Zhao Tiehu, who solved the sentry at this moment, also touched the side of the prisoner of war camp.

Looking at the little devils who were staying on the watchtower of the prisoner of war camp, Zhao Tiehu ordered his combat team to separate and prepare for a surprise attack. After everything was ready, Zhao Tiehu raised the 38 big cover in his hand and fired the first shot to rescue the prisoners of war.

'Horn hook', a crisp gunshot rang out, and a little devil machine gunner standing on the watchtower soon fell from the watchtower. This gunshot also made the defenders of the entire coal mine look a little stunned.

At the same time, the combat team members who had been ambushed in place also fired their weapons one after another. Outside the entire POW camp, the sound of fierce firefighting soon rang out. This voice naturally made the prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp stunned and delighted.

The puppet soldiers who lived in the prisoner of war camp were also startled when they heard the gunshots, and ran in a panic to inquire about the situation. ”

Just when the puppet army reprimanded these prisoners of war who were watching the excitement, the combat members who were lurking in the prisoner of war camp in advance looked at the prisoners of war scattered in several rooms and said, "Are you ready?" We're going to attack! ”

'Ready! Kill these little devils and yellow skins of dog R! ’

A member of the combat team and an underground party are in charge of a team of prisoners of war composed of military cadres. As the combat team members rushed out of the house with an order, many puppet soldiers who threatened the prisoners of war with guns were also stunned by this sudden scene.

The roar of machine guns rang out, and the puppet soldiers who threatened the prisoners of war with guns were instantly knocked to the ground. Faced with the sudden appearance of machine guns and rifles in the hands of these prisoners of war, many puppet soldiers found it incredulous.

As the receiving team of the prisoner of war camp launched an attack on the puppet army in the prisoner of war camp, those prisoners of war who had not yet reacted soon heard the prisoners of war who had fought with them say: "What are you doing standing stupidly, ready to flee for your life!" ”

When the combat team led the prisoners of war forward to attack and continued to shoot the puppet soldiers who were in charge of the guards, the prisoners of war who followed up also successively took the rifles captured from the puppet soldiers and joined the attack sequence.

The defenders of the mining area, who also heard the sound of gunfire coming from the prisoner of war camp, naturally seemed very anxious. The detachments directly under the coal mine can break through, so that these little devils in the mining area have no time to care about the situation in the prisoner of war camp.

Even the captain of the garrison who was staying in the Japanese camp in the mining area heard the fierce gunfire outside the mining area, and said in disbelief: "Baga, what's going on?" What kind of troops are attacking our coal mines? ”

Surprised, the captain of the garrison found that the phone had been cut off, so he could only order the radio team to send a telegram to Zaozhuang for help. Receiving a telegram from the coal mine, Akiya Kobayashi was also very surprised.

Formerly a power plant, now a coal mine, Akira Kobayashi quickly realized that this was a targeted attack. Immediately instructed the troops in the county near the coal mine to rush to the mining area to carry out reinforcements.

Although these troops are not too far from the coal mine, it is naturally impossible to rush to the mine area in a short time. Even the Japanese military police, which set off first, was ambushed and harassed by the Eighth Route Army not long after leaving the city.

Looking at these hit-and-run raiding troops, Koichi Ishida, the captain of the gendarmerie who led the team, was also very angry and said: "Yaga! Keep going, be sure to rush to the coal mine in the shortest possible time, move forward quickly! ”

When the Japanese troops from all walks of life rushed to the coal mine for reinforcements, the prisoners of war who burst into battle and desire for survival finally solved the puppet army in the prisoner of war camp. With the elimination of these puppet armies, many prisoners of war were also armed.

As the prisoners of war rushed out of the prisoner of war camp, Zhao Tiehu, who had already eliminated the guards of the prisoner of war camp, immediately instructed: "Draw a small team to guide the prisoners of war and the miners to leave, and the rest of the troops will continue to follow me to block the pursuit of the little devils." ”

'Yes, Captain! ’

Except for some prisoners of war who strongly requested to participate in the war, they were left behind to fight with the Eighth Route Army, and many unarmed prisoners of war, with the cooperation of the Zaozhuang guerrillas, quickly escaped from the coal mine through an escape passage that was opened.

When I came to the outside of the coal mine and looked at the guerrillas who were leading the way with torches, the prisoners of war and the rescued miners knew it. This is only the beginning of the escape, whether they can really escape in the end, they can only count on these Eighth Route Army who came to rescue.

In the face of the attack on the Zaozhuang Coal Mine, the Japanese troops in the entire Zaozhuang territory were undoubtedly alarmed, and all troops rushed to the coal mine as quickly as possible to prepare for reinforcements. But no one could have guessed that the coal mine is just the beginning, and the real attack is still to come!
