Yamamoto realized that the stronghold was several kilometers away from the prisoner of war camp, and if it were just the sound of gunfire and the soundproofing effect of the valley, the stronghold might not be audible.

But what the captain in front of him meant was that the stronghold heard the sound of artillery at that time, and it was very clear.

Then connect with the prisoner of war camp that Yamamoto witnessed was in ruins.

It should have been the enemy who had attacked the prisoner of war camp and used a large amount of explosives before evacuating to blow up the noise coming out of the prisoner of war camp in one fell swoop.

As for some of the faint noises heard earlier in the stronghold, perhaps the sound of grenades exploding from both sides.

Yamamoto was a little confused.

It's just a prisoner of war camp, and if it has been successfully destroyed, why blow it up with explosives in one fell swoop, even at the expense of exposing it?

Perhaps it was a flash of inspiration, as if Yamamoto realized something, he hurriedly led the team back to the prisoner of war camp, and searched and probed in the more internal direction that everyone had been ignoring before.

Soon, Yamamoto made a big discovery.

The mountain road to the depths of the occupied territory is prone to ruts after the rain of the previous days and the loose mud.

Yamamoto found such ruts on a dirt road leading deep into the occupied territory, there were two of them, both fresh, and the arched ruts had not even dried yet.

One was from the direction of the mine to the prisoner of war camp, which Yamamoto speculated was a rut pressed by the truck as it took the prisoners to the camp.

The other is a departure from the prisoner-of-war camp.

Every time the special forces arrived at the POW camp for training, they rode in transport trucks, and Yamamoto did not find any signs of trucks in the ruined POW camp.

Therefore, Yamamoto has reason to suspect that the enemy who attacked the prisoner of war camp stole the truck in which the reserve soldiers of the special forces were riding.

Judging by the deeper ruts away from the POW camps.

After successfully attacking the prisoner of war camp, instead of immediately fleeing the Niutou Mountain area with the help of a truck, this group of bold guys seemed to deliberately pass on the news through a big explosion to mislead the Japanese army to search the periphery, and then drove the truck back to kill a horse pistol!

It is no wonder that he almost dug three feet into the ground to escape from the outer area of Niutou Mountain, and failed to find these enemy troops who attacked the prisoner of war camp.

Yamamoto, who came back to his senses, immediately locked his target in the direction of the mine.

Yamamoto communicated with the command via radio and reported the situation, and immediately led his special forces team to the mine first.

————————

On the other side, when the Japanese army was still tossing around the outer area of Niutou Mountain, Kong Jie had already driven the assault team and the soldiers of the national army to the vicinity of the mine in a truck.

Get closer, and the roar of a truck engine can easily lead to exposure.

Kong Jie and his entourage temporarily hid the truck next to a hidden mountain road, and after covering it with trees, the team set off on foot and entered the mine.

On the way, Dong San, a soldier of the baggage battalion of the 85th Division of the former National Army, said to Kong Jie: "Regiment commander, this place we are going to is a coal mine mined by devils. ”

"These equipment are all good things, although they can't be directly used in the production of guns and ammunition for our team, they can definitely come in handy with a little modification."

Talent!

Kong Jie looked at Dong San steadily, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, this kid was really clever!

In this way, this time not only can the captured national soldiers in the mine be rescued, but also a batch of equipment and tools can be fished by the way, which is a profitable deal.

"Good boy, after the battle in the mine, you are responsible for keeping an eye on it and taking away all the equipment and tools that can be of great use." Kong Jie arranged.

"Yes!" Dong San replied and glanced at the howitzer proudly.

You kid can shoot cannons, the regimental commander likes it.

But we'll fix the guns, hehe, it looks like the regiment commander prefers it.

Soon, getting closer and closer to the mine, you can already see the outline of the mine from a distance, the monk said: "I have been mining in this place for nearly three years, and I am very familiar with this place. ”

The howitzer said: "I have to prove this for the monk, this kid monk, in the past two or three years, he has been thinking about how to escape from the mine." ”

After continuing to get closer, he could already roughly see the situation of the mine with the naked eye, Kong Jie climbed a high slope and took a telescope to observe for a while.

There were a lot of busy workers outside the mine, dressed in a variety of clothes, some wearing ordinary people's clothes, some wearing the clothes of the national army, of course, the general appearance of unkempt hair and uncovered clothes was similar.

The workers appear to be using dustpans, baskets, and bamboo baskets to transport coal from inside the mine to the outside.

There are also some mule carts outside, and the workers use baskets and bamboo baskets to transport the coal from the mines, and then pour it into the carts of the mule carts, which are then pulled by the mule carts to the trucks parked nearby.

It is these trucks that are used to transport coal over longer distances.

On both sides of the road, there were devils with rifles, and some puppet soldiers who were in charge of supervising and urging, with whips in their hands, and from time to time dogs roared, and in some places on the higher terrain on both sides of the road, there were several light machine gun fortifications erected by devils.

In all directions, all the activity areas where the workers pass through are guarded by the Japanese puppet army, and there is at least one squad of devils in the army, plus a platoon of puppet troops.

"How are the workers being treated when they work here? Is there a salary? Kong Jie noticed that the origins of these workers were also a little complicated, some looked like captured soldiers of the national army, and some seemed to be ordinary people, so he tried to ask.

The howitzer scolded: "The little devil is inhuman, and he doesn't take the lives of our people seriously at all." ”

"I only give them one meal a day, or half full, and work for them day and night, those people were forcibly arrested, and they were physically inferior to those of us who were soldiers, and they were directly pulled out and buried by the devils and the puppet army."

"It's only July and August now, and it's good to say that the weather is hot, but when it comes to the cold winter and the moon, the little devils don't give people rest, and workers die at both ends in three days."

"Fuck, these shit."

Although he had expected the cruel exploitation of the devil and heard it with his own ears, Kong Jie couldn't help but be angry.

This strengthened his determination to destroy the devils in front of him and destroy the mine.

The monk seemed to sense Kong Jie's anger, and said, "Sir, while working, I noticed that there is a small path that can lead directly into the central area of the mine, that is, there, if we suddenly kill from there, the little devil will definitely be defenseless, and he will be able to do it in a moment." ”

Kong Jie nodded and arranged: "The assault team is divided into three combat groups, each combat group is about eight people, and each combat group is divided into seven brothers of the national army. ”

"Cao Zheng, wood, the two of you lead the third combat group around the far right flank of the mine."

"Ye Min, you take the second combat team to take charge of the left flank of the mine."

"Monk, you and I are responsible for leading the way, and the first battle team suddenly came out of the middle of the mine."

"The second and third combat groups, listen to the gunfire from the first combat group."

"Remember, once the battle breaks out, you must take out all the Devil's machine gunners as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Cao Zheng, Mu Tou, and Ye Min responded in unison.

Before leaving, Kong Jie instructed the soldiers of the national army, saying:

"Brothers of the national army, the use of this German-made MP38 submachine gun has been taught to you before."

"You haven't used this kind of firearm, it's not easy to control, try to choose a single point, don't fire in bursts, aim at the enemy, and quickly release the trigger after pulling it."

After speaking, Kong Jie said to the commandos again:

"The brothers of the national army have been in the concentration camp for too long, and they are probably a little unfamiliar with firearms, and when the battle begins, arrange their battle sequence in the back, and try to take care of their safety."

"Yes!" The team members responded in unison.

The soldiers of the national army who participated in the war were stunned, their hearts were warm, people's hearts were long, and along the way, the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of them could be said to have taken good care of them, and their hearts were inevitably a little moved.

It's just that now is not the time to say those words of gratitude.

The soldiers of the national army secretly made up their minds, and when the battle started in a while, they must behave well, and they must not let the commander of the Eighth Route Army down......
