When Feng Yicai received the order to rush back, Zhao Zhi had already rushed to the periphery of the coal mine that Chen Dayong said with a team of mercenaries, and really arrived at the periphery of the coal mine, Zhao Zhi knew that he wanted to fork in, Chen Dayong said that the coal mine was just a small open-pit coal mine at all, not the kind of deep coal mine that Zhao Zhi thought, the deep coal mine is to mine coal in the formation, which requires equipment and auxiliary machinery to go down the mine, Zhao Zhi is thinking about the winch and motor used in the upper and lower mines of the coal mine, but now it is open-pit coal mining, only manual can be used, Zhao Zhi didn't see the equipment he needed at all.

Chen Dayong said that this open-pit coal mine is called Caoling Coal Mine, the coal produced here is directly transported into the power plant in Zhangwu County, because the amount of coal output is not very large, the army is only stationed in a squad of the army and dozens of imperial troops to guard, stationed in Zhangwu County will send several trucks to pull coal here every three days, Caojiazhuang, which is the closest to here, also sends large trucks to the county seat every day to send coal, Zhao Zhi When they arrived at the coal mine, there were several carriages pulling coal out.

Caoling Coal Mine is really in the mountains, there is only one mountain road in and out of here, and the hastily built mountain road can only pass one truck at most, so the carriages are lined up in a long snake shape on the mountain road, these carriages are familiar people, Zhao Zhi does not dare to fight their ideas, in case there is a greedy person among them, secretly report Zhao Zhi's whereabouts to the Yue Army, it will cause endless trouble, so Zhao Zhi just took the mercenaries to lurk quietly on the hillside, waiting for the best opportunity.

The time is only in the afternoon, Zhao Zhi's lying hillside can be seen with the naked eye most of the area in the coal mine, the entire Caoling Coal Mine is an irregular rectangle, near the mountain pass is a checkpoint made of earth and stone, there is a light machine gun and a few Imperial Cooperative Army standing guard, near the side of the hill there are a few rows of grass sheds, Zhao Zhi estimated that it should be a place for the laborers to live, and there are a few wooden houses in a triangular position with the straw shed, which should be the residence of the army stationed in the coal mine and the Imperial Cooperative Army. It's just that Zhao Zhi hasn't seen any puppet soldiers enter and leave those wooden houses.

There are more than 100 bareback laborers in the coal mine are piling coal, and the coal in the coal mining area is transported to the accumulation yard close to the mountain pass with a trolley, so as to facilitate the loading of coal blocks, and the puppet army stationed in the coal mine is scattered around, Zhao Zhi roughly counted it in the telescope, there are a total of 15 army and 41 and the imperial army, but there are more than 100 laborers who work, there are no old and weak women and children among the laborers, only a water of young adults, Zhao Zhi carefully observed and found that these workers are actually prisoners of war, Because most of the laborers wore military shoes and military pants.

It's strange, this group of laborers has an iron pickaxe and shovel in their hands, why don't they resist, even if they die at gunpoint, it is better than being a laborer, there are only a dozen soldiers guarding them, and they have defeated the army, and the other imperial army is not a problem at all, is it possible that this group of prisoners of war has lost the heart of battle, and has been transformed into laborers who can only work, Zhao Zhi is waiting for it to get dark with questions, only when it is dark, Zhao Zhi and the mercenaries have a chance to attack.

The puppet army supervising the work of the prisoners of war in the coal mine did not know that a group of killing gods were lurking on the nearby hillside, and the chains of death had been dancing in Zhao Zhi's hands, just waiting for the sky to get dark, they would be thrown at them, and then drag them into hell one by one, in the hard work of the prisoners of war and Zhao Zhi's expectation, the head finally set, when the last ray of light disappeared on the horizon, the soldier Cao blew the whistle to call it a day, and the prisoners of war who had worked all day lined up and returned to the grass hut, sitting quietly and waiting for the arrival of food.

Zhao Zhichai is right, the laborers in the Caoling Coal Mine are almost all prisoners of war captured by the army, there are **, there are Sichuan Army, as well as the Eighth Route Army and the surrounding ordinary people, there were more than 300 people at the beginning, the prisoners of war united to organize a riot, but at the last moment they were told by the traitors who were mixed in their midst, and the bloody suppression of the puppet army fell short, and the number of prisoners of war has also plummeted from more than 300 to more than 100 now, and the highest rank of several prisoners of war have been locked up in a cave in the corner of the coal mine. As long as the prisoners did not do their jobs well, the leaders were punished, which is why the prisoners of war only worked hard and did not run away.

After finding that there was nothing he needed in the coal mine, Zhao Zhi wanted to leave, but after he found out that the coal mine laborers were prisoners of war, he changed his mind, he needed these prisoners of war, Zhao Zhi's current hard wound is that there are too few soldiers under his command to command, according to his current strength, at most it is an ambush to fight the army, once the army is superior in numbers, Zhao Zhi has to flee with his mercenaries, because once they are entangled by the army, his mercenary troops may fall into the encirclement of the puppet army, Zhao Zhi's hard work may be ruined in one fell swoop, which is why Zhao Zhiranzhuang was in a hurry to contact the Eighth Route Army after the ambush, he needed troops.

Prisoners of war are not as good as the mercenaries under Zhao Zhi, but they are always better than those recruits, the cruelty on the battlefield, these prisoners of war have already seen it, and their hatred for the puppet army is no less than that of the people whose families are ruined, as long as they are properly trained and equipped with suitable weapons, they are definitely a killing army that can make the puppet army fearful, and those who are prisoners of war, especially those who have been prisoners of war of the army, even if they return to their original troops, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the doubts of their peers and the inquiries of their superiors, If Zhao Zhi can rescue this group of prisoners of war and then induce them, the benefits in the middle are definitely more cost-effective than Zhao Zhi capturing the spoils of war.

Zhao Zhi now has 60 well-trained mercenaries in his hands, after rescuing this group of prisoners of war, each mercenary is responsible for guiding two prisoners of war, as long as a few battles are down, the prisoners of war will definitely be able to change like bones, and they will lose the battle and become prisoners of war, the fundamental reason is not in these junior soldiers, if they are equipped with better weapons, more advanced tactical tactics, more comprehensive intelligence information, more blood surnames of the leading officers, and less defense and containment between the troops, where will there be so many prisoners of war, I am afraid that the army has been driven out of China a long time ago.

Eat the meat in his mouth, Zhao Zhi will never spit it out again, this batch of prisoners of war he is determined to be determined, more than 100 veterans who have survived the battlefield battle, what a lot of resources that is, this account, Zhao Zhi is more calculating than anyone else, those who are lying in the grass shed, already exhausted prisoners of war do not know that they have been branded with Zhao Zhi, when the sun rises tomorrow, they will be greeted with a different new life.
