Shimoda Hirono told Xie Xuan that tonight, there was a train transporting prisoners of war to the Northeast, and half of the people in the prisoner of war camp were leaving.
Xie Xuan asked in surprise: "Why did so many people suddenly have to be transported away?"
Shimoda Hirano explained: "Our army will besiege Chongming Island today. In addition, the New Fourth Army such as Baxianbu, Wuhandong, and Erbao will also be attacked. By then, the prisoner of war camp will definitely not be able to accommodate so many."
Prisoners of war from all over the province, as well as anti-Japanese elements captured by the gendarmerie from various places, would eventually be sent to prisoner-of-war camps.
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "No wonder."
He was shocked that the Japanese army actually wanted to besiege Chongming Island, where the Self-Defense Corps and the Provisional Committee were located. Once the Japanese army succeeded in the siege, our party and our army would suffer heavy losses.
Hirono Shimoda asked: "There are all kinds of people transported to the Northeast this time. Do you want to take some of them away?"
Xie Xuan deliberately hesitated and said: "Is this... okay? It won't matter if I get caught, but I can't implicate Shimoda-kun."
Shimoda Hirano said disapprovingly: "There are no important people. These people will die when they get to the Northeast, and some will die on the road. Anyway, they are dead. If they can exchange for some money, why not?"
Xie Xuan said: "It's fine if there are no important people."
He was thinking in his mind that those who entered the prison camp were those who truly resisted Japan.
Since we need to save, why not save more?
The prisoner-of-war camp was heavily guarded, and Japanese troops were stationed around it. It was basically impossible to snatch people from the prisoner-of-war camp.
But it would be much easier to rob someone from a train.
Hirono Shimoda said: "How about one hundred yen per person? At least twenty people must be taken at one time, and of course, no more than one hundred people at most."
Xie Xuan said in embarrassment: "Twenty people? How can there be so many people willing to pay?"
Shimoda Hirono said: "If you get one person, it's still two thousand, and if you get twenty people, it's still two thousand. I don't have to collect this money alone, at least two thousand is enough."
As the domestic environment in Japan becomes worse and worse, the lives of their relatives in Japan, like these soldiers, become increasingly difficult.
Their meager allowance alone is not enough to support their family.
After Xie Xuan sent money to Shimoda Hirano, the Japanese soldiers in the prisoner of war camp suddenly discovered a way to make money.
If prisoners of war can be exchanged for money, then prisoners of war are no longer prisoners of war, but commodities.
"I'm going to find someone to see if they are willing to pay so much money. When does the evening train leave?"
"Eleven o'clock."
"How will we trade then?"
Shimoda Hirano said: "I have already thought about this. Eighty kilometers away from Shenpu, there is a small train station in Santangpu. When the time comes, those people will stay in Santangpu."
Although he had the final say in the prisoner-of-war camp, it was someone else who transported the prisoners.
Moreover, when prisoners of war get on the train, the roster will be checked, and releasing them early will definitely not work.
Xie Xuan asked: "When will we arrive at Santangpu?"
Shimoda Hirono said: "It's probably around twelve o'clock."
Xie Xuan frowned: "Time is very tight."
Hirono Shimoda said: "It's only ten o'clock in the morning, almost fourteen hours."
"Okay, I guess I can't ask for twenty people, but no matter how many people I want, I'll give you two thousand."
Shimoda Hirono warned: "Remember, it's Japanese yen, two thousand yen."
Xie Xuan said: "Don't worry, if you want Japanese yen, I will definitely give you Japanese yen."
It is convenient for the Japanese to use the yen, and the legal currency is not valuable and has depreciated too much.
After Shimoda Guangye left, Xie Xuan went out immediately.
Since meeting Shimoda Hirono, Xie Xuan's brain has been running at high speed. The two things Shimoda Hirono said are very important. The Japanese army will besiege Chongming Island and vacate all the prisoner of war camps. Obviously, the Japanese army is very confident. A large number of prisoners of war will surely be captured.
Hundreds of people will be transported from the prisoner-of-war camp this time. If they can be rescued, China will have hundreds more anti-war personnel.
Regardless of whether they are the national army or our army, as long as they are resisting Japan, Xie Xuan feels that they should be saved.
Xie Xuan went to Sandri first. When the car stopped nearby, he already had a rough plan in mind.
This plan will be completed by the Third Action Brigade of the Shenpu Three Stations alone.
Xie Xuan and Gong Bing were in contact from time to time. Let's not say whether he could contact Gong Bing today. Even if he could contact him, he might not be able to stop the prisoner of war train.
The Third Action Brigade is different. He is a team directly under Xie Xuan. As long as Xie Xuan orders it, the Third Action Brigade will definitely do its best.
Xie Xuan's plan was for Luo Qi to lead a team of capable personnel and rush five to ten kilometers ahead of Santangpu to find a suitable location for planting the explosion.
When the Japanese prisoner-of-war train stopped, they found out the guards on the train. After the train left Santangpu, Roach led a team to get on the train, kill the guards on the train, and disconnect the train where the prisoners of war were detained.
If it cannot be disconnected, there are bombs that can stop the train.
Just using a bomb might hurt the prisoners on the train.
After all, they were very weak after being imprisoned in the prisoner-of-war camp, and the tanks used to transport prisoners of war were overcrowded. Once the vehicle overturned, there would be many casualties.
When he arrived at the death mailbox with Gong Bing, Xie Xuan discovered that Gong Bing had left information for him: Recently, a chief's wife would bring a newborn baby to Shenpu and ask him to arrange a suitable place to cultivate. If he has time, meet at the safe house.
Xie Xuan needed to meet Gong Bing too much. When he rushed to the safe house, Gong Bing was indeed there.
Xie Xuan said eagerly: "I have just received the news. The Japanese army has mobilized its focus to prepare for the siege of Chongming Island. In addition, the Japanese army entrenched in Huai'an and Baoying will attack Baxian Port, Wuculldong, Erbao and other places in the near future."
Gong Bing mused: "The Japanese troops everywhere are counterattacking."
After the Eighth Route Army destroyed Zhengtai Road, the Japanese army finally realized that the Eighth Route Army was not just fighting behind enemy lines. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were not just two armies, but troops with strong combat effectiveness and destructive power. Each army, plus local troops below , so scared that there were dozens of groups.
"This information must be spread as soon as possible. In addition, at 11 o'clock tonight, there is a prisoner of war train going to Northeast China. I have made an agreement with Shimoda Hirano to give him two thousand yen and ask him to put 20 yen at Santangpu Station. Come down alone. After passing Santangpu Station, the Third Action Brigade of Shenpu Station 3 will take action to prepare to rescue the entire prisoner of war train. By then, it would be better if there is cooperation from the local guerrillas. "
Gong Bing said in surprise: "Prisoner of war train? There are hundreds of people there."
Xie Xuan muttered: "There are at least three hundred people."
Gong Bing asked: "Okay, I will pass on the information immediately. In addition, the chief's wife and child are coming to Shenpu for training. How are you going to arrange it?"
"Let them go to Guangji Hospital first. The adults and children will have their bodies checked first. What I'm worried about is something else."
