Qiao Youhua rode a war horse, and Sun Dahai took the two full main forces of the three battalions, about 200 people, from Luquan, and a few hours later, they rushed to Zhaojiabao Village.

Liu Jianhua, Zhou Dasheng, and Zhao Youde had already waited again with the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company, and after welcoming Qiao Youhua into the village, they troubled the people in the village to help cook for the soldiers of the three companies.

Qiao Youhua gathered everyone to understand the specific situation, and the people had already received huge benefits from copying Zhao Dongyang, the landlord bully's house, and prepared some meals for a total of more than 300 Eighth Route Army, and they used all the firewood and rice from the landlord's family.

The officers and soldiers of the dragon tooth were going to rescue their relatives again, so they were naturally willing and willing.

As far as the Longya Task Force is concerned, the matter is urgent, the officers and soldiers march continuously, and then they have to fight, plus everything is taken from the landlord's house, which is not a violation of the rule of the Eighth Route Army that the masses do not take a stitch from the masses.

After briefly understanding the situation, Qiao Youhua opened the combat map, and after ascertaining the location of all the coal mines in Pingshan County, he immediately asked Liu Jianhua to send some people to the surrounding villages to inform the people whose relatives were working as coolies in the coal mines, and let them come to Zhaojiabao to assemble.

Lead the way for the Dragon's Tooth Task Force to reach their destination quickly and quickly to carry out rescue.

When they heard that the Eighth Route Army was going to rescue their relatives, they naturally readily agreed, and then followed the scouts sent out to quickly come to Zhangjiabao to assemble.

By the evening, seven or eight villages and more than 20 people had arrived one after another.

"According to the information we have now, there are four large coal mines in Pingshan County, and in order not to startle the snakes, I decided to raid these four coal mines at the same time and rescue the young and strong people in each village at the same time.

There are not many devils in Pingshan County, and there are still county seats to defend, so I estimate that there will not be too many guards in these four coal mines, with the strength of our three companies, the troops are divided into four routes, and it is a surprise attack, which can completely kill the mine guards and successfully rescue the people.

Now I order, Liu Jianhua, Zhou Dasheng, Zhao Youde, Sun Dahai, the four of you each lead two platoons, with the people as guides, to raid the four major mines respectively, and I will take a platoon to attack Pingshan County, in order to respond to your rescue operation!

Whether the rescue can succeed or not mainly lies in a strange word, we must approach quickly, launch a sudden attack, do not give the Japanese puppet army a chance to breathe, and after succeeding, quickly cover the retreat of the miners, and be sure to withdraw to Zhaojiabao before dawn to assemble and standby!

Do you get it? Qiao Youhua pressed the map with one hand and looked up at the four of them.

Liu Jianhua and Sun Dahai stepped forward in unison and responded: "Understand, please rest assured that the head of the regiment will complete the task!" ”

Taking advantage of the night, the soldiers of the three companies and nine platoons set off from Zhaojiabao Village separately in five routes, each heading for the goal.

The No. 4 mine in charge of Sun Dahai is the closest to Zhaojiabao, which is located in the southwest of Pingshan County.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, under the guidance of several ordinary people, after more than three hours of marching, Sun Dahai finally came to a forest on the outskirts of this coal mine with two platoons of nearly 70 soldiers.

Squatting in the bushes in the woods, the naked eye can see that a simple fence wall has been built around the mine in front of me, and the entrance is lit up.

A man who led the way said: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, there is the No. 4 mine ahead, you can go." ”

Sun Dahai smiled at him and said: "Fellow, don't call me sir, just call me comrade in the future, thank you for your hard work, you wait here, we will go and rescue the miner brothers." ”

"It's not hard, there are also our relatives inside." The people said.

Sun Dahai took out his box cannon, waved his hand violently to the more than sixty soldiers behind him, and led the two platoons to quietly touch the mine.

The darkness of the night provided them with the best cover, and they were about to approach the fence wall and could easily cross it, when the barking of wolfdogs suddenly sounded in the mine.

The piercing dog barking immediately alarmed the Japanese puppet army, who had already fallen asleep, and several Japanese puppet troops at the entrance were even more like a great enemy, blowing warning whistles one after another.

One of the devil soldiers was even more babbling, took out a flashlight, and shone it around.

Seeing that it was impossible to quietly sneak attack and solve the Japanese puppet army, Sun Dahai turned his face sideways and said sharply: "Fire, kill these miscellaneous people!" ”

As soon as he spoke, the box cannon in his hand took the lead in firing, spitting tongues of fire, and following the light of the flashlight, he knocked down the devil soldier on the spot.

The flashlight also fell to the ground, and more than 60 other fighters pulled the trigger one after another, and the six light machine guns continued to spit out tongues of fire, which were particularly dazzling in the dark night.

With the volley of the riflemen, the dense bullets instantly turned the six Japanese puppet soldiers guarding the entrance of the mining site into a hornet's nest.

The two demomen used grenades to blow down a large section of the fence wall as quickly as possible, and then Sun Dahai led the officers and soldiers to rush in through the blasted wall.

In the mining field, the miners, who had already fallen asleep, were also awakened from their sleep by the sound of gunfire, and stood up from their simple shacks one by one, only to see that there were swishing tongues of fire everywhere outside.

The gunfire was so loud that the miners were terrified.

A devil light machine gunner suddenly opened fire from the only tower in the mining field, trying to suppress Sun Dahai and them, Sun Dahai turned his head and shouted: "Machine gunner, kill the devil on the tower for me!" ”

"Yes!" Two fighters with light machine guns suddenly agreed, and the light machine guns were fiercely fired at the tower.

Da Da Da ...... Two dense rains of bullets instantly sent the tower into flames, and the devil machine gunner screamed and fell from above.

Dozens of other Japanese puppet soldiers who came out of the improvised barracks in a panic were hit by the fire of the officers and soldiers of the dragon tooth as soon as they appeared.

One by one screamed and fell, these Japanese puppet troops bullied the defenseless miners on weekdays, but in the face of the dragon tooth officers and soldiers who were now experienced in a hundred battles and well-equipped, they were caught off guard and had no power to fight back.

The gunfire continued for about five minutes, and after a dozen devils were killed and wounded, the remaining puppet soldiers knelt with guns in hand and were about to surrender.

The battle ended, Sun Dahai divided a platoon to collect the prisoners, personally led another platoon to run towards the mine, and shouted: "Brothers miners, we are the Eighth Route Army, we are here to rescue you, don't hide, come out quickly!" ”

"Brother Erniu, it's the Eighth Route Army, we're saved!" The young miner who had complained during the day said excitedly.

The miner named Erniu was also full of excitement, "Yes, we are saved!" Walk! Get out! ”
