Chapter 56: Recruiting Prisoners

Didi ......, in the tent where the radio station was placed, with the continuous supply of power from the small generator, the radio station was finally started, and Liu Ruhan sat in front of him with headphones and manipulated it attentively, no stranger than Wu Ming and them.

Soon, with the help of the ciphertext, Liu Ruhan obtained a number of messages that he was eager to know and translated them one by one.

The above content is similar to what Qiao Youhua guessed, it is the latest progress of the two major battlefields in the north and south, as well as some anti-Japanese and rescue notices issued by the national government.

"The Battle of Songhu is in full swing, Shanxi has also been invaded by the Japanese army, and the Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous moment." Liu Ruhan looked at the telegrams in his hand, and his pretty face was full of shock and sorrow.

Hundreds of young and strong laborers received enough wages, and the good of Qiao Youhua and the Dragon's Tooth Task Force dispersed one by one.

I am not afraid that they will reveal the secrets of the tunnel, because they are all Chinese with a conscience, and the tunnel is excavated and built in batches, and no one can remember the entire structure of the tunnel without a complete map of the tunnel.

And this drawing is in Qiao Youhua's hands.

After sending off a group of people, Qiao Youhua entered the underground tunnel for the first time from an entrance under the guidance of Xu Youcai.

The underground tunnel network of Zheng Village was prepared for the defense of war, so any building in the village was communicated, and each courtyard wall house had an entrance to the tunnel.

At the same time, the underground tunnel extended into the trenches of the ring fortifications within a few hundred meters outside the village, and if necessary, the defenders could retreat to any of the courtyards in the village through the guò tunnels to continue street fighting, or rush from the village to any of the fortifications outside the village at any time.

The most important link is that the tunnel extends to the south mountain of the village, which is the last retreat for the soldiers and civilians of the whole village, once the situation reaches the last resort, they can use this tunnel to retreat to the back mountain, and continue to fight the devils in the mountain.

The entire underground tunnel is complex like a spider web, Rao is Qiao Youhua, the designer, is a little uncomfortable when he comes in for the first time, if there is no Xu Youcai with a kerosene lamp in front of the way, maybe he will get lost.

Above ground and in underground tunnels are completely different things.

"From today onwards, let each platoon take turns to enter the underground tunnel to familiarize yourself with the environment in case you get lost during combat." Qiao Youhua instructed Zhang Yunshan, who was following behind.

Zhang Yunshan was secretly frightened, and nodded hurriedly.

After inspecting the tunnels, Qiao Youhua led everyone to the south of the village where the prisoners were held, where several courtyards were specially vacated, and the people moved to other courtyards for the prisoners to live, although it was a little crowded, but fortunately, they were allowed to sleep outside.

The most important thing is to facilitate the custody, only one squad and one light machine gun are needed to keep them all in check.

When Qiao Youhua arrived with Ma Biao and them, the soldiers in charge of guarding them stood up and saluted and shouted hello to the captain.

Qiao Youhua nodded slightly, and walked into the courtyard, more than two hundred captives were gathered inside and outside the courtyard, Qiao Youhua looked around, and said loudly: "You are all descendants of Yan and Huang like Qiao, Chinese men, why should you be a traitor and a traitor who is scolded by thousands of people?" ”

"Sir, we can't help ourselves."

"yes, we're all here to eat!" There were several bold ways among the puppet army captives.

Qiao Youhua pressed his hands to signal them to be quiet, and said: "I believe that you are all forced to be helpless, but now that the national disaster is at the head, as a dignified five-foot man, you can't turn your back on your ancestors and be a dog leg for the little devil no matter what."

Now I'm giving you a chance to turn your ways, and with the same money to eat, each person will be paid a large ocean of military salaries per month, that's right, to join our dragon tooth task force!

As long as you join us, from now on, you will no longer be scolded behind your back as traitors and traitors, and your family members can also hold their heads up in front of their neighbors and proudly say that their fathers, brothers, brothers, and sons are heroes who fight devils! ”

"Sir, are you telling the truth?"

"That's right, pay a piece of the ocean every month."

"If it's true, the chief and I did it with you, I'm willing to join."

"I'm also willing to join, as the chief said, we will also be devil fighters in the future, and when we go back to our village, we can also stand up and face the old and young masters of the whole village."

The puppet captives responded.

"Of course it's true, as long as you change your mind from now on and follow me to fight devils, you will be a great hero who stands up to the sky, and you are no longer a traitor and a traitor who is spurned by others!" Qiao Youhua said solemnly.

"I'd love to join! I'm willing to ...... too."

"I'm also willing, I won't wear this yellow skin again, and we'll fight devils and be heroes in the future!" Someone took the lead, and more than 200 puppet army prisoners followed suit.

One of the captives even took off his puppet military uniform and threw it at his feet.

Qiao Youhua finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

After taking care of this group of captive soldiers, he left Wu Ming and Zhang Yunshan to register their names and arrange a squad platoon, and he took Ma Biao, Jiang Haidong and others to the camp.

To the west of the camp at the head of the village, more than 180 horses were tethered from the battle of Dahe Town.

Qiao Youhua came to the side of the horses, looked at the standing horses, turned his head to Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao and said, "Give you half a day to select one hundred and eighty infantry from the whole team who can be trained into cavalry." ”

"Is that group of captives just now also in the selection range?" Ma Biao asked.

"Of course, they're all part of us now." Qiao Youhua said.

"In that case, it's not a big problem, choose one of the two, it's still about the same." Ma Biao smiled.

…………

At noon, Qiao Youhua returned to his tent, but saw Liu Ruhan wearing a military uniform and standing in his tent with a smile on his face.

Qiao Youhua was taken aback: "Why are you here?" ”

"Didn't you have something to do with me? By the way, I went to the cooking class to get food, so I borrowed your tent, you won't care, right? Liu Ruhan said.

"Of course not, by the way, the cold is better?" Qiao Youhua took off his military hat and put it on the table.

Liu Ruhan's face turned red and nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Hey, there's a meal, it's for me?" Qiao Youhua saw that there were two meals.

"Well, let's eat it while it's hot." Liu Ruhan's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and said.

"Thank you!" Qiao Youhua was busy all morning, he was really hungry, thanked him, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to feast.

The atmosphere in the tent became a little awkward and silent, only the sound of Qiao Youhua eating.

"By the way, did you come to me to contact the outside world?" Liu Ruhan took the lead in breaking the silence in the tent, raised her head and asked shyly.

"To be precise, it should be regarded as eating first, and then you can work when you are full, right?!" Qiao Youhua's pun made Liu Ruhan's cheeks blush again.

Work? Is it bed work? Or how? This is too ambiguous.

…………

At the same time, Shimen Railway Station.

A military train coming from the direction of Baoding slowly stopped, and when the train door opened, a group of heavily armed Japanese soldiers rushed out of the train and began to line up on the platform.

When Nakagawa Ichiro saw so many warriors of the imperial army, his eyes full of anger finally lit up with excitement: "Yo Xi, with these reinforcements, we can finally exterminate the Dragon Tooth Anti-Japanese Task Force in Zheng Village, and I am ashamed!" ”
