Yamamoto realized that the stronghold was several kilometers away from the prisoner of war camp. If it was just the sound of gunfire, coupled with the sound insulation effect of the valley, it might not be heard from the stronghold.
But what the captain in front of me meant was that the stronghold heard the sound of artillery at that time, and it was very clear.
Then contact the prisoner of war camp that Yamamoto witnessed becoming a ruin.
The enemy should have made a sneak attack on the prisoner-of-war camp. Before evacuating, they used a large amount of explosives to blow up the noise from the prisoner-of-war camp.
As for some faint noises heard before at the stronghold, they might be the sounds of grenades exploding during the battle between the two sides.
Yamamoto was a little confused.
It was just a prisoner of war camp. Since it had been successfully destroyed, why did it need to be blown up with explosives and even exposed?
Perhaps due to a flash of inspiration, Yamamoto seemed to realize something, and quickly led the team back to the prisoner of war camp, and searched and explored in more internal directions that had been ignored by everyone before.
Soon, Yamamoto made a big discovery.
Heading to the mountain road deep in the occupied area, because it rained a few days ago, the soil is loose, and it is easy for trucks to leave ruts after driving through.
Yamamoto found such ruts on a dirt road leading deep into the occupied area. There were two of them. They were both fresh, and the arched ruts had not even dried.
One road leads from the direction of the mine to the prisoner of war camp. Yamamoto speculated that this was the rut made by trucks when they sent the prisoners of war to the prisoner of war camp.
The other path leads away from the prisoner of war camp.
Every time the special agent team arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp for training, they rode in transport trucks. Previously, Yamamoto did not find any trace of trucks in the ruined prisoner-of-war camp.
Therefore, Yamamoto had reason to suspect that the enemy who attacked the prisoner-of-war camp hijacked the truck carrying the reserve members of the special agent team.
Follow the deeper ruts away from the POW camps.
After successfully attacking the prisoner of war camp, this group of daring guys not only did not immediately escape from the Niutoushan area with the help of a truck, but they seemed to deliberately spread the news through a big explosion, misleading the Japanese military to search the outside, and then drove the truck in the opposite direction. , and made a comeback!
It's no wonder that when I escaped from the outer area of Niutoushan, I dug almost three feet into the ground and couldn't find these enemy troops who sneaked into the prisoner of war camp.
Yamamoto came back to his senses and immediately targeted the direction of the mine.
Yamamoto communicated with the headquarters through the radio. After reporting the situation, he immediately led his special agent team and rushed to the mine first.
————————
On the other side, while the Japanese army was still wreaking havoc in the outer area of Niutoushan, Kong Jie had already driven a truck to successfully deliver the commandos and national soldiers to the vicinity of the mine.
Up close, the roar of a truck engine can easily lead to exposure.
Kong Jie and his party temporarily hid the truck beside a hidden mountain road, and after covering it with trees, the team set off on foot and headed towards the mine.
On the way, Dong San, a former soldier in the supply camp of the 85th Division of the National Army, said to Kong Jie: "Captain, the place we are going to is a coal mine mined by the Japanese. Coal mining is a technical job, and some important equipment and equipment are indispensable. Tools, such as boilers, winches, fans, hand drills, etc.”
"These equipments are all good things. Although they cannot be directly used for the production of guns and ammunition for our team, they can be slightly modified and they will definitely come in handy."
Talent!
Kong Jie looked at Dong San steadily, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. This kid is really smart!
In this way, this time not only can we rescue the captured national soldiers in the mine, but we can also get a batch of equipment and tools. This is a sure-profit business.
"Good boy, after the battle in the mine is over, you are responsible for keeping an eye on it and taking away all the equipment and tools that can be put to great use." Kong Jie arranged.
"Yes!" Dong San responded, glancing at the howitzer proudly.
Your boy knows how to have sex, and the group leader likes it.
But I know how to repair firearms, hehe, it seems that the group leader likes me more.
Soon, we were getting closer to the mine, and we could already see the outline of the mine in the distance. The monk said: "I have been mining here for nearly three years, and I am very familiar with this place. The little devil is here." Where to be on guard and where to deploy troops, I know very well in my heart."
Howitzer said happily: "I have to prove this for Monk. Monk, this boy, has been thinking about escaping from the mine for the past two or three years."
After getting closer, he could roughly see the situation in the mine with the naked eye. Kong Jie climbed up to a high slope and observed it with a telescope for a while.
There are many busy workers outside the mine, dressed in a variety of colors. Some are wearing ordinary people's clothes, and some are wearing national army clothes. Of course, the general appearance is the same, unkempt and half-clothed.
These workers seemed to be using dustpans, backpacks, and bamboo baskets to transport coal from inside the mine to the outside.
There were also some mule-carts outside. After the workers used baskets and bamboo baskets to transport the coal from the mine, they poured it onto the carts of the mule-carts, and then the mule-carts pulled it to several trucks parked nearby.
Longer-distance coal mine transportation relies on these transport trucks.
On both sides of the road stood Japs holding rifles, as well as some puppet soldiers responsible for supervising and urging. They held whips in their hands and roared from time to time. In some places on higher ground on both sides of the road, there were several light machine guns set up by the Japs. fortifications.
In all directions, any activity area where the workers passed was guarded by Japanese and puppet troops. There was at least a small group of Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet troops.
"How are the workers working here? Are they paid?" Kong Jie noticed that the origins of these workers were somewhat complicated. Some looked like captured national soldiers, and some seemed to be ordinary people. He tried to ask.
The howitzer scolded: "The little devil is inhumane and doesn't take the lives of us people seriously at all."
"They only had one meal a day, which was half full, and they had to work day and night. Those people were forcibly captured, and their bodies were not as good as those of us who were soldiers. After they died, they were killed by the Japanese and Japanese. The puppet troops directly took them out and buried them."
"It's only July and August, so the weather is hot. But in the coldest months of winter, the little devils don't give anyone a break, and workers are dying every day."
"Damn it, these bastards."
Although he had expected the cruel exploitation of the Japanese and heard it with his own ears, Kong Jie could not help but be angry.
This further strengthened his determination to eliminate the devils in front of him and destroy the mine.
The monk seemed to feel Kong Jie's anger and said: "Sir, while I was working, I noticed that there is a small road that can go straight into the middle area of the mine, that is, there. If we suddenly kill from there, the little devil will definitely If you are not prepared, you will be able to do it."
Kong Jie nodded and arranged: "The commando team is divided into three combat groups, each combat group has about eight people, and each combat group is divided into seven national army brothers."
"Cao Zheng, Mu Mu, you two will lead the third combat team around to the far right side of the mine."
"Ye Min, you lead the second combat team to take charge of the left wing of the mine."
"Monk, you and I are responsible for leading the way. The first combat team suddenly bursts out from the middle of the mine."
"The second combat group and the third combat group, listen to the gunshots from the first combat group."
"Remember, once the battle breaks out, you must kill all the Japanese machine gunners as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Cao Zheng, Mu Mu, and Ye Min responded in unison.
Before leaving, Kong Jie entrusted the soldiers of the national army with:
"Brothers from the national army, I have taught you how to use this German-made MP38 submachine gun before."
"You have never used this kind of firearm. It is not easy to control. Try to choose a single point, do not fire continuously, aim at the enemy, pull the trigger and release it quickly."
After finishing speaking, Kong Jie said to the commandos:
"The brothers of the national army have been in the concentration camp for too long, and they are probably a little unfamiliar with firearms. When the battle starts soon, we will arrange their battle order at 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 startled, and their hearts warmed up. Their hearts are full of flesh. 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 they were inevitably a little moved.
But now is not the time to say these words of gratitude.
The soldiers of the national army secretly made up their minds. When the battle starts soon, they must perform well and never let down the commander of the Eighth Route Army...
