Wu Ran and the others trotted swayingly all the way to the gate of the coal yard. Several losers who were standing guard came over with curious expressions on their faces.
"Captain Wu, what brought you here?"
Wu Ran waved his hand impatiently, "Speaking of bad luck, don't worry about it. Hurry up and open the door for me. I want to go to Commander Dongzhu to report the situation!"
Seeing Wu Ran's anxious look, the few people opened the door for Wu Ran and the others without asking too much.
At this time, Wu Ran and the others had just walked into the gate. Not far from the brick house, the Dongzhu Army Sergeant stretched out and walked out, and immediately saw Wu Ran and the others.
With a frown, Sergeant Dongzhu walked over with the two little devils.
The reason why Sergeant Dongzhu is sent to lead the team here is because Sergeant Dongzhu has stayed in China for a period of time. He is relatively proficient in Chinese and can better maintain the mine.
"Wu Sang, what are you doing here at this time? There is still a week before the next donation, and..."
Sergeant Dongzhu took a look and found that they were not carrying supplies. Instead, they seemed to have just finished marching with equipment!
Wu Ran quickly walked up to Sergeant Dongzhu, nodded and handed over a pack of cigarettes, "Hey, Sergeant Dongzhu, you smoke, you smoke!"
Sergeant Dongzhu took the cigarette naturally, took one out and held it in his mouth.
Wu Ran quickly took out a match and lit a cigarette for Sergeant Dongzhu, "Here's what happened. Not long ago, a group of Tubal Road attacked Yingdong Station without overestimating its capabilities!"
Sergeant Dongzhu took a deep drag on his cigarette, "Oh? Why are you brought here?!"
Wu Ran slapped his thigh, "Oh, it's not that Tubalu was defeated by Lieutenant Tanabe. There happened to be a small group of defeated Tubalu running towards this area, and we were sent to chase them!"
Sergeant Dongzhu looked carefully at Wu Ran and the others again. Seeing that these puppet soldiers were covered in dust, with their hats crooked and their collars open, they looked like they had been chasing them all the way.
Wu Ran leaned close to Sergeant Dongzhu's ear and said, "Sergeant, this is a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds! I saw it, but there was a high-ranking official among the defeated troops!"
"Besides, he must be injured, they can't run far!"
Sergeant Dongzhu paused in his smoking motion, apparently becoming agitated.
Seeing this, Wu Ran quickly increased his efforts, "Think about it, Sergeant, as long as you have done meritorious service, you still have to stay in this place where there is no money or water at all?!"
"Hehe, when the time comes, please ask the sergeant to give Lieutenant Tanabe a good word! Brothers also want to be transferred!"
Sergeant Dongzhu had already put down his smoking hand, and Wu Ran knew that he had been moved by him.
Sergeant Dongzhu pretended to sigh, but only half of his words were said, "Hey, Xikasi..."
Wu Ran immediately patted his chest with a righteous look on his face, "Sir, please don't worry, I'm watching over here, there will definitely be no problem!"
At this time, Sergeant Dongzhu no longer had any worries, and turned around and asked the two little devils to gather the team.
Then he looked at Wu Ran with a smile on his face, "Wu Sang, you are indeed a great person. Don't worry, I will definitely ask for credit from Lieutenant Tanabe!"
The two chatted happily for a while, and Wu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the plan had been successful.
Soon, these twenty-odd little devils gathered together, and under the leadership of Sergeant Dongzhu, walked out of the gate of the coal yard, preparing to pursue the so-called senior official of the Eighth Route Army in the direction given by Wu Ran!
Seeing Sergeant Dongzhu leading the team out of the coal yard, Wu Ran's eyes moved and he winked at the puppet soldiers.
Wu Ran and the others began to walk quietly towards the other side of the coal yard. Just when the other coal yard guards were wondering what they were doing, they suddenly remembered the sound of gunshots outside the coal yard.
Outside, Dongzhu's sergeant led the team before they could run very far. Zhang Dabiao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately fired the first shot.
For a time, more than 20 little Japs like Sergeant Dongzhu were exposed to a hail of bullets. Under the first wave of attacks, except for a few lucky ones who reacted quickly enough to lie down and roll to dodge because the people around them blocked part of the bullets.
The other little devils, including Sergeant Dongzhu, had fallen to the ground covered in blood.
The few remaining little Japs didn't last long before they were thrown into the sky by grenades.
In the coal yard, gunfire rang out, and before the guards could react, Wu Ran immediately took the puppet soldiers and ran towards the far wall.
"Quick! Bring the ladder over here and climb over it quickly!"
Not long after Wu Ran climbed over the wall, Zhang Dabiao had already rushed into the coal yard with the soldiers of the Second Company, "Quick, clear out the remaining enemies and rescue the miners!"
The scoundrels were so frightened that they turned around and tried to run away, but were shot to death one by one by the soldiers.
"The first platoon is responsible for searching the brick house, the second platoon is responsible for the mine, and the third platoon is on guard!"
Zhang Dabiao did not forget Wu Ran's arrangement. He personally led a few soldiers to rush to the place where the puppet troops climbed over the wall, while shouting loudly, "Stop!"
After firing a few precise shots, the bullets landed on the edge of the ladder. The splattered wood slag stung the last puppet soldier who climbed up, and the soul of the dead climbed up in a big hurry.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
As soon as they climbed over the wall, the last puppet soldier saw that Wu Ran and the others were running far away. He threw away the rifle that was in the way, and the puppet soldier chased after them with all his might.
Before he could run very far, Zhang Dabiao, who had already climbed up the wall, fired a few more shots at his feet. He was so frightened that he jumped three feet high and ran faster while crying and shouting.
The puppet soldiers in front heard the gunshots from behind and the crying and howling of the puppet soldier, and they ran even more vigorously!
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Zhang Dabiao stopped chasing and led the people back to the coal yard.
At this time, the soldiers of the Second Company were guarding outside the mine, carefully helping the weak miners out, and many were even carried out.
After the miners walked out of the mine, they were unwilling to cover their eyes with the sun even if they were blinded by the sun. Their already dry tear ducts could not stop crying tears of gratitude.
The soldiers were in a hurry, shouting loudly from time to time, "Hurry up, boil more hot water, and bring over all the clothes and quilts you can find, medics! medics!"
Zhang Dabiao looked at this scene, his eyes were red, "Damn you little devil! You gave them an advantage with your gun!"
These miners are all residents of nearby villages and towns, ranging from the elderly to teenage children.
Those villagers who were captured very early were either dead or emaciated, lying on stretchers and being carefully carried into brick houses by the soldiers.
One after another, a thousand people have come out of several mines!
Zhang Dabiao quickly found the communications soldier, "Send a message to the battalion commander quickly. We are in urgent need of manpower here, as well as food and all kinds of warm clothing and quilts to keep out the cold!"
Fortunately, with Xu Gaoxiang's supply, Li Yunlong's team was equipped with a lot of medicine and sugar.
The soldiers of the Second Company took out all their sugar and boiled it into sugar water, which they drank first for the dying villagers.
Then he cooked all his own rations into porridge and distributed them to other miners one by one.
Zhang Dabiao brought a bowl of porridge to a skinny ten-year-old boy, "Kid, drink slowly, we will have more later!"
