"The entire Shire camp is surrounded by a 4.5-metre-high wall with a high-voltage power grid. There was only one exit for the entire camp. All people entering and exiting must have a photo pass issued by a British. As far as we know, inside this 4.5-meter wall, the distance is about 30 meters, and there is actually a second wall, and the height of the wall is about 3 meters, and there is also a high-voltage power grid on it. Between the two walls is said to be a minefield. In addition, on the outer perimeter wall, there are watchtowers every twenty meters, and each watchtower is equipped with machine guns. Karlsson was explaining to the fighters of the partisans what he had heard.

"The entire camp was also surrounded by a railroad track, on which the British had an armored train." Karlsson continued, "In addition, on several commanding heights outside the wall, the British built pillboxes. These bunkers are not accessible, so it is not clear what is going on. I looked at it with a telescope, and these things should be made of reinforced concrete, which is very strong. But if there is a need, I think our flamethrowers can deal with them effectively. ”

"How's the situation with the people inside? Do you know? Someone couldn't help but ask.

"yes, what happened to the British?" More warriors asked.

"I've heard that the British have torn up all the families inside. Men and women are all separated, and children follow women as long as they have mothers. The women could not leave the camps, and the men could not see them, but judging by the supplies brought into the camps, they were supposed to be being arranged by the British to do things like textiles. As for the men, every morning they were released from the camps, some of them were sent to mine, some of them were sent to see more walls, separation ditches and so on. Because their wives and children were still in the camps, they did not dare to escape, even if the British did not take strict care of them...... In addition, the British stipulated that anyone who was caught talking to someone of unknown origin would have their wife and children's rations halved. The rations provided by the British to the people in the concentration camps were already pitiful, and if they were cut by half, they would almost certainly starve to death. ”

"These damn brutes!" Someone scolded fiercely.

"Karlsson, what's the situation inside the camp?" Waldner asked.

"It's not very clear because it's hard for us to get in touch with the people inside. However, I have a friend who is an authentic British. At this point, Karlsson looked around and saw the suspicious gazes of the people around him, so he defended: "Although this man is an Englishman, he is definitely a good man." He is now a car driver, and according to him, more than a dozen or even dozens of bodies are dragged out for cremation every day in this concentration camp. Among them were old people, young people, men, women, and even children......"

"Bastard!" Persson couldn't take it anymore and grabbed one of the rifles he had placed beside him and stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Waldner grabbed him by the arm.

"Captain! My Captain! Didn't you hear what Karlsson said! You let me go and let me fight those brutes! Persson struggled violently.

"Persson, sit down for me!" Waldner roared. Relying on the prestige he had gained from many successful battles, he managed to silence Persson.

"Persson, do you think I'll be heartbroken to hear such news? You think I don't want to kill all those brutes right away? I want to go to London in one fell swoop, and hang Victoria, the old witch, like a dog! But, Persson, you rush over so unprepared now, can you kill a few British crumbs? Who wants us to do that most now? The more times like this, the more we need to be calm. ”

As soon as Persson actually sat down, he already intellectually agreed with Waldner's opinion, but emotionally, he couldn't accept it yet. He sat there, with his head bowed, and gasped loudly for a while, then he jerked his head up, looked at Waldner, and asked:

"Captain, what do you think we should do? We can't do nothing! ”

This is a real problem, and now, after the British played such a hand, the situation of the partisans has deteriorated dramatically. In the past, the guerrillas could easily obtain all kinds of supplies in addition to weapons and ammunition, as well as all kinds of information about the activities of the British army in any settlement. At that time, the entire battlefield was almost one-way transparent to the guerrillas. Every time the British army went out, the guerrillas could get the news immediately, and now, the farms that used to be all over the countryside were abandoned, the owners of the farms were imprisoned in concentration camps everywhere, most of the farms were set on fire by the British, and the grain in the farms was taken away by the British, and those that could not be transported were also burned down by the British. Now the guerrillas could no longer get the movements of the British from the local population, so the losses in the battle with the British were also increasing. Even more frightening is the lack of supplies.

In the past, the guerrillas had never worried about eating, but now it is a problem. The farmers were gone, their farms were destroyed by the British, and the partisans had no source of food. Now the guerrillas even need to be rationed. Although the Americans are still supporting them, the little capacity of the submarine is not enough to transport some ammunition, and it is used for food, which is simply a drop in the bucket.

"We're having a very hard time right now. Everybody knows that. "Half of us now do fishing, hunting, gathering wild fruit and so on. This situation must also be broken. It's just that we can't be brute. You think, even if we open the Shire camp now, where will those people go? Back to the farm? Their farmsteads had been burned down, their houses had been burned down, their belongings had been looted, and even the wells had been filled in by the damned British. How do they get back? And even if they go back? Wouldn't the British be able to take them back to the concentration camp in two days' time? Let them do it with us? Not to mention how many of them are elderly, women, children. Even if we don't think about that, do we have enough for them to eat? ”

"But can't we do anything?" Persson asked.

"Of course not. We need to find a way to reach out to the outside world and make the situation in the camps known to the world. It would be better to take the camp with foreign correspondents. Publicize everything here. That's what I can think of at the moment. If we succeeded, we might be able to force the British to end the camp policy. Even if this could not be done, it should at least be able to change the living conditions in similar concentration camps. ”

……

"Hello, Captain Waldner. I'm Bilt for the Associated Press. This is my friend, Marius, a reporter from the French newspaper Figaro. and British social activist Emily 61 Hobhouse. We are very concerned about the terrible humanitarian catastrophe that took place in the concentration camps to which you referred. Bilt, a reporter for the Associated Press, told Waldner, the legendary guerrilla, "That's why I've been sent here to report on this." Can you tell us a little bit about what it was like in the camps? ”

"Welcome, my friends." "Of course I can talk to you about this," Waldner said, "because I know that a lot of very terrible things happened in those camps......

When Waldner told the visitors all he had learned, Ms. Emily61 Hobhouse, who seemed a little hard to believe, said, "Are you sure, sir, that such a terrible thing really happened in the concentration camps?" That's too sensational, isn't it? ”

"Ma'am, as far as I know, you have asked General Kitchener to go to the concentration camp to investigate. What kind of response did you get? If things were in the camps, why didn't they approve you to enter the camps? Waldner replied.

"So, Captain Waldner, do you now have first-hand and reliable information to prove it?" Bildt asked.

"Not yet, but you'll see in a few hours." Waldner replied.

……

It doesn't take more than a few hours for everyone to see. In effect, Waldner's guerrillas would attack the Shire concentration camp in a few hours. Waldner planned to take the camp in one fell swoop through this attack, and then, the situation in the concentration camp was naturally revealed.

It's just that this requires a strong attack, and now there are barbed wire, separation walls, and isolation trenches everywhere, and even if you succeed, I am afraid that you will encounter a series of problems when retreating. When the time comes, I am afraid that the loss will be very strict. Waldner also understands, though. If this situation does not change, then the defeat of the guerrilla war is almost inevitable. Therefore, no matter how big the loss is, now he must give it a go. This is because the guerrillas have now lost the replenishment of personnel and materials, and if they do not fight and continue to delay, the guerrillas will only fight with fewer and fewer people, and the more they use materials, the less they will use. Just like the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation in later generations, how tenacious their will to fight is, such as Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zhao Yiman and other heroes, how heroic and firm. However, when the devils began to collect armor on a large scale, their strength was limited, and the anti-alliance that could not break this situation was slowly exhausted in the battles again and again. In the end, even Commander Yang Jingyu could only feed on tree bark for several days before he sacrificed his country. Therefore, this battle must be fought, no matter how heavy the losses are.
