After cleaning the battlefield and sweeping away the entire prisoner-of-war camp, Kong Jie ordered to leave and asked the commando soldiers to use explosives (seized in the prisoner-of-war camp) to blow up the prisoner-of-war camp hidden in the Niutou Mountains before leaving.<
/p>
Kong Jie, who had a good chat with Howitzer and Dong San, didn't even frown when he heard the big explosion in the prisoner of war camp. There were indeed some people who said "the prisoner of war camp was wiped out in ashes while talking and laughing"
meaning.
Turning their heads to look at the prisoner-of-war camp that was completely shrouded in the smoke of the explosion, the escaped Chinese prisoners all lamented that they were still in hell just now, but they finally escaped.
The sound of the big explosion completely broke the dead silence in the mountains and continued to circle in the valley.
Mu Mu, the leader of the reconnaissance team who was responsible for setting up explosives and blowing up the prisoner-of-war camp in one fell swoop, returned to the team with some doubts: "Captain, we made a sudden move earlier, and the Japs didn't have time to react. The sound insulation effect in this deep mountain is good, so the Japs are probably still alive."
We don’t know what happened to the prisoner-of-war camp being attacked by us, but the explosion in front of us was too loud, and the nearby Japanese strongholds would most likely hear the noise."
This is what a qualified warrior should do.
Although he was confused, he still carried out Kong Jie's order without hesitation.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Kong Jie smiled and said: "I asked Howitzer and Dong San just now. In addition to the brothers from the national army in the prisoner of war camp in front of me, there are also many brothers from the national army working as coolies in the Japanese mines.
The Japanese mine is not far away. Since I am here this time, I will either not save people or save all the brothers in the national army."
"The big explosion in front of me was given to the little devils on purpose. What I wanted was to let the little devils know that we are coming."
"When the Japanese notice the movement, they will definitely focus on our possible evacuation routes."
"How could they have imagined that instead of retreating, I would actually fight back?"
Having said this, Kong Jie paused and looked at the twenty-one national soldiers who were rescued by him.
"The war is urgent, and we don't have the conditions now to send the bodies of these National Army brothers back to their hometowns one by one, and bury them on the spot in this mountain! This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the feng shui is pretty good, which can be considered as a good way for these National Army brothers
They may be buried in peace, no matter what, they shed their blood for China!”
Kong Jie refers to the captured soldiers of the national army who were carried out of the prisoner-of-war camp and sacrificed.
There were thirty-three of these captured national soldiers who were gathered into this prisoner-of-war camp in the mountains this time. One of them was killed by the Japanese before, and some more were sacrificed in the battle just now. Only the ones in front of us are left.
of twenty-one.
Kong Jie ordered the bodies of the sacrificed national soldiers to be taken out.
All we can do at this moment is to let them rest in peace.
After Kong Jie gave the order, the soldiers of the national army looked at the remains of their companions who had come with them not long ago. There was inevitably sadness in their eyes. One by one, they followed the order and dug out pits one by one with the captured engineering shovels.
The remains of these fallen national soldiers have been buried.
In any case, the commander of the Eighth Route Army rescued them and took the bodies of his companions out for burial. This is a kindness.
The commando team is also helping, seeing off these national army soldiers as their own comrades.
After doing this, Howitzer, Dong San and others looked at Kong Jie a little differently.
The monk didn't care about this. What he cared about more was the courage of the commander of the Eighth Route Army to go deep into the tiger's den and take the risk to attack the mine!
Such a character is very suitable for a monk.
Among the twenty-one people, two were injured, and one was injured by the black-faced devil who struck first.
The other was Jiang Dao, a soldier of the Jinsui Army who was later injured by the baby-faced Japanese.
In the mountain forest, after burying the remains of the national soldiers, Kong Jie continued: "Well, soldiers should have the backbone of soldiers. Our comrades are gone. We can be sad, but we cannot be decadent. The living should avenge the dead."<
/p>
"I said that I will lead the team to go to the mines to rescue those national army brothers who are being worked by the Japanese."
"But we are now deep behind enemy lines, and the next rescue operation will definitely take great risks, even life and death crises."
"Our Eighth Route Army never forces soldiers to die. Fighting bravely depends on the faith in your heart. I won't waste any more words. I am willing to keep my brothers in the national army who go to rescue people with me and distribute guns and ammunition. If I am afraid of death, I will send people
I will escort you back to our Eighth Route Army base first. Whether you choose to stay or return to your original army is entirely voluntary."
"Oh, by the way, these two injured ones have to stay. If you don't want to go, just stay here and take care of them."
After Kong Jie finished speaking, Howitzer and Dong San were the first to raise their hands, expressing their willingness to follow Kong Jie to the mine to save people.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Well done, you are indeed the person I like. None of the soldiers in my independent regiment are afraid of death."
Howitzer and Dong San smiled, and their sense of belonging to Kong Jie and the Eighth Route Army inexplicably increased in their hearts.
Then Monk Wei also spoke, "Count me in!"
Kong Jie nodded, didn't say anything more, and deliberately ignored the monk.
Jiang Dao is quite courageous, but he was injured by the baby-faced Japanese and lost face. After all, he has to find some ground.
"Eighth Route Chief, I want to take action with you."
Kong Jie heard Howitzer and Dong San talk about the situation in the prisoner-of-war camp where the Japanese used prisoners of war for shooting training. He smiled and said: "Isn't your kid injured? Just take good care of your injuries. Why are you causing trouble?"
Jiang Dao felt a little warmer in his heart. His injuries had actually recovered a lot. "Sir, you are joking. It's not that easy for a little devil to kill us."
"I am a veteran who has been in the army for more than two years. If the commander wants to kill the Japanese, I can definitely help."
Kong Jie nodded, "Okay, he is a well-educated person, I count you among them."
"Thank you, sir!"
The concentration camp that was brought here to train the reservists of Yamamoto's special agent team was all thorny among the prisoners of the national army. Those who were not willing to surrender to the Japanese and become puppet soldiers naturally had to be bloody.
Soon, all the National Army soldiers expressed their willingness to follow Kong Jie back, and even another injured National Army soldier expressed his willingness to go with him, even though they had just escaped from the tiger's mouth.
Kong Jie said happily: "Well done, damn well done. I've heard before that there are many officers in the national army who are the first to run away, but there are no soldiers who are the first to run away."
"What I want to tell you is that in our Eighth Route Army, if any of you sees a cadre running away in advance, you can stand up and shoot him. We don't have such coward cadres in the Eighth Route Army. Then he is definitely a traitor.
”
"Let's go!"
The team quickly changed direction and continued to move closer to the depths of the enemy-occupied area. Howitzer and Dong San were responsible for leading the way to the mines on the outskirts of the enemy-occupied area where they were working as coolies.
The howitzer remembered the road the truck took from the mine to the prisoner-of-war camp. Perhaps because he felt that they were destined to die, the Japanese did not deliberately hide it from them.
Along the way, Howitzer opened his eyes wide and saw the road clearly.
This time it was not necessary to leave. Previously, Mu Mu and Cao Zheng quietly killed two Japanese soldiers outside and took away the truck that the special agent team took to arrive at the prisoner of war camp. Now it comes in handy.
The only embarrassing thing is that although this truck is not small, there are only about 20 people in the secret service team, but the commando team in front of us plus the rescued national army prisoners, there are 48 people, and everyone is almost standing face to face in the back.
The car was swaying forward like a sardine can... Of course, Commander Kong was driving, so there was nothing to say. Who knows that Kong Jie had the best driving skills here!
There are three people squeezed into the co-pilot, one is a howitzer, responsible for guiding the way, the other is Cao Zheng, responsible for providing firepower in case of accidents on the way, and the third one is Wei Dayong, who was specially arranged by Kong Jie to lighten the rear compartment.
The pressure of overcrowding.
If the car was not overweight, the forty-eight people, plus the captured guns and ammunition that were inconvenient to carry, and simply equipped by all the people, would only weigh five or six tons. Of course, no one would care about you even if it was overloaded these days...
