"Ugh, why is it so smelly?" Yu Dazhi, who rushed into the cave excitedly, was almost vomited by the stench in the iron fence. Thousands of prisoners of war were locked in an airtight cave, eating, drinking and sleeping.
Inside, one can imagine the smell. Zhao Zhi and the others were busy dealing with the Japanese troops guarding the cave. In addition, the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the entrance of the cave, so there was no smell at all. However, Yu Dazhi, who came in just now, couldn't stand it.
"Did any of you go down the well today? Who is the officer? Come forward and answer." The prisoners of war standing behind the iron fence looked at Zhao Zhi and his group blankly. Zhao Zhi asked several times, but they remained silent. "Dazhi, go and answer."
Zhao Zhi was a little annoyed when the prisoners of war did not respond. He turned around and ordered Yu Dazhi to call the people from the Zhongtong team to come in and question the prisoners. After all, they were carrying the certificates of the Zhongtong.
You should believe it.
"You killed Chief Niu, it's you." A small prisoner of war suddenly rushed out from the iron fence. He reached out through the fence and grabbed a mercenary's arm and kept tearing it apart. It looked like he had been stimulated by something.
He became so crazy that he was caught off guard by the mercenary who grabbed his arm and tried hard to break free, but the prisoner of war had already fallen into madness and could not break free at all. Two gunshots rang out, and Zhao Zhi
The pistol on the leg strap was already in his hand. The prisoner of war fell down along the fence with blood pouring from his thigh. The other prisoners of war retreated and dispersed with a crash.
"I'll ask again, did any of you go down the well today? Is there any other officer who can stand up and answer the question?" Zhao Zhi, carrying a pistol, took a few steps forward and put the gun on the head of the prisoner of war who was shot in the thigh.
The stunned expression of the prisoners of war has already made Zhao Zhi unable to suppress his anger. The mercenaries outside are still fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops trapped in the derrick room. Every minute of delay, some mercenaries may be injured and die. For the sake of his men
, Zhao Zhi did not hesitate to shoot all the prisoners of war here, provided that they remained so indifferent.
"Bang" Zhao Zhi's gun rang again. A prisoner of war who had been shot in the head lay on the ground with his eyes wide open and stopped twitching. When Feng Yi was dragged into the cave by Yu Dazhi, this was already the fourth person Zhao Zhi shot.
Prisoners of war, the prisoners of war in the iron fence still did not answer Zhao Zhi's questions, but looked at Zhao Zhi and his others with a hint of hatred in their eyes, "Ask them something, shoot them if they don't say anything, they are all a bunch of other people."
"Elm-headed" Zhao Zhi threw the pistol to Feng Yi with some luck, and withdrew from the cave with his mercenaries.
As calculated by Zhao Zhi, the mercenaries who entered the coal mine have concentrated and suppressed the surviving Japanese and puppet troops in the derrick room. The elimination of other remaining Japanese and puppet troops has come to an end. The mercenaries with superior firepower moved into small groups
The method of assembly was to clear out the Japanese and puppet troops hidden inside everywhere. "We asked our people to surround the derrick house without attacking, and just keep an eye on the Japanese troops inside." The machine gun group arranged on the gangue mountain was enough to control the
In the derrick room, Zhao Zhi did not want his mercenaries to suffer heavy casualties because of the few remaining Japanese and puppet troops.
"Sir Zhao, the prisoners of war said that today is the day for the Japanese technicians to inspect the equipment. They have no one to dig coal in the well." Feng Yi, who walked out of the cave, gave Zhao Zhi's pistol back, and two ragged prisoners of war followed him out.
The scene of loud gunfire in the cave and coal mine made them widen their eyes in disbelief. The Japanese and puppet soldiers who had punched and kicked them yesterday were now corpses lying in the mud, and
The people chasing the Japanese and puppet troops were the same people who had just shot and killed the prisoners of war in the cave.
"Notify Hammer, use mortars to blow up the derrick room and withdraw everyone." Since there were no prisoners of war underground, Zhao Zhi did not have to hold back. For the sake of the dozen or so remaining Japanese and puppet troops, he set up a
Zhao Zhi would not do such a stupid thing if he wanted to risk the lives of his mercenaries. The two prisoner-of-war officers who followed Feng Yi looked at Zhao Zhi's prompt decision and looked at Zhao Zhi with a look of hatred at first.
If it were loose, they might not be able to do so well in such an environment.
He personally operated the mortar that "bombed" Iron Hammer. After several fireballs rose up, the derrick room had turned into a sea of flames filled with smoke. The mortar shell fired by Iron Hammer exploded and ignited.
The spare lubricating oil in the derrick room, and the few Japanese soldiers who ran out of the derrick room with flames on their bodies were also killed by Snail's machine guns. At this point, all the Japanese and puppet troops in the Changxin Coal Mine had been killed.
The mercenaries have taken control of the entire coal mine.
"Dazhi, send someone to notify the Eighth Route Army troops in Shankou, asking them to rush to the train station immediately to help Master Yao Zhai hold on to the train station according to the original plan. The attack on Ping'an Town will be discussed after they are in place. Inform Snail, he
The machine gun team went to replace the Eighth Route Army stationed at the mountain pass. Jinquan's sniper team assisted them and sent people back to the valley to pick up Luo Lin and Luo Ying. We will rest in the coal mine for the time being. "The Japanese and puppet troops in the coal mine have been killed.
Zhao Zhi, who was in a good mood, was busy issuing a series of orders, and Yu Dazhi beside him couldn't remember them.
"Feng Yi, you are still in charge of your squad. The prisoners of war will be left to you. As for why you came here, I don't care. However, you can't take away these prisoners of war yet. I still have something to ask them."
Yes, I rescued them, they have to pay some price, right?" Seeing Yu Dazhi leave in a hurry, Zhao Zhi then turned his attention to Feng Yi, this guy from Zhongtong was indeed
Some are outstanding, but Zhao Zhi is not very interested in people with a Central Unification background like them, so it's better to keep a distance.
"Listen to what I have to say." Zhao Zhi raised his hand to stop the two prisoner-of-war officers who wanted to speak. "There is enough food in the coal mine, and I have enough medicine and military doctors on hand. Your injured and sick people will be able to get it right away."
Treatment and recovery, but there is no free lunch in the world. I don't need you to go into battle to kill the enemy. I just need you to help me transport a batch of supplies to Xi'an. I think there should be no problem with this." Zhao Zhi said.
Intentionally or unintentionally, his hand tapped the pistol on his leg strap, which frightened the two prisoner-of-war officers so much that they were afraid that this cold-faced killer would take out his gun and shoot at them if they were unhappy.
"That's right. As the old saying goes, those who know the current situation are heroes. As long as you don't violate my rules, from now on until you safely return to Xi'an and find your troops, I will provide you with food and medicine.
And there are weapons and ammunition." Zhao Zhi took out a pack of cigarettes from Yu Dazhi's trousers pocket and threw them to the two prisoner-of-war officers, while he took Yu Dazhi to check the casualties of the mercenaries.
