Half an hour later, the shadow of a war horse suddenly appeared in Wang Chengzhu's telescope field of view.

Taking a closer look, the person on the horse was none other than Wang Shugen, who was dressed in casual clothes.

After a while, Wang Shugen entered Yerengou and was led by a special operations team member to Wang Chengzhu.

"Platoon commander, the escorted group of prisoners of war are already on their way here and are expected to arrive here in about 10 minutes."

"very good."

Wang Chengzhu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, you go down and rest first."

Knowing that the prisoners had not been escorted to the prisoner of war camp, Wang Chengzhu immediately felt relieved.

The situation was as reported by Wang Shugen. About 10 minutes later, a team escorting prisoners appeared in front of Yerengou.

Among them, there were fifty or sixty prisoners, about 30 puppet soldiers, a platoon of troops, and a standard Japanese detachment with a total of 13 people.

The enemy's strength is around 50, and the Langya Special Forces, including Wang Chengzhu and Wang Shugen, has a total of only 33 people.

Although Wang Chengzhu's side was at a numerical disadvantage, the quality of their individual soldiers was much better than that of their opponent. In addition, they occupied favorable terrain and seized the opportunity.

And the only ones who really have to deal with it are that small group of Japs. When the gunfire rings out, these Japs will be killed, and most of the remaining puppet troops will raise their hands and surrender.

Therefore, it is not a big problem to kill the Japanese and puppet troops who are responsible for escorting the prisoners.

"Prepare to fight. The snipers will kill those Japs first. Be careful not to hurt the prisoners!"

After the order was issued, the Langya team members lurking on both sides of Yerengou checked their weapons and equipment, loaded ammunition, and prepared for the attack.

The Japanese and puppet troops escorting the team had walked this road many times and were considered familiar with it. Therefore, they entered Yerengou without any precautions.

Wang Chengzhu saw the right opportunity and decisively pulled the trigger to fire the first shot of the battle.

"Snapped!"

The sound of gunfire rang out, and a 7.92mm caliber rifle bullet spun out of the barrel at high speed. The next moment, as if it had been equipped with a precision guidance system, it hit the heart of the Japanese squad leader with incomparable precision.

The bullet carried strong kinetic energy and easily penetrated his body. Then, a strange blood arrow came out of his vest, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl...

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the other members of the Langya team opened fire decisively.

"Thud, tug, tug, tug..."

"Pah, pah..."

At that time, the Langya team members lurking on both sides of Yerengou were less than 30 meters away from the Japanese team. At this distance, with the shooting skills of the Langya team members, it would be difficult for the bullets to miss.

Therefore, with just one face-to-face meeting, the 13 Japanese soldiers responsible for escorting the prisoners were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest and fell to the ground twitching one after another.

Until their death, these devils didn't know what happened, and they didn't have time to react.

On the other hand, the group of puppet soldiers subconsciously ran towards both sides of the road almost as soon as the gunfire rang out. When all the Japanese in this small group were dead, they immediately dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

.

It has to be said that these puppet soldiers have no other skills, but their ability to save lives is number one.

Of course, the main reason was that Wang Chengzhu did not kill them all.

After getting rid of the Japanese who were responsible for escorting, Wang Chengzhu immediately led people down to the road and rescued the prisoners.

There were a total of 56 prisoners in this batch of prisoners, mainly the Jinsui Army and the Central Army. The Eighth Route Army only had the three soldiers from the reconnaissance squad.

When the three soldiers saw the platoon leader Wang Chengzhu personally come to rescue them, they were just like a child who was bullied outside seeing his parents. They were so excited. One of them was a recruit who had just joined the artillery platoon, and he burst into tears.

"Platoon leader, I knew you would come to save us, and you did!"

Wang Chengzhu patted the shoulders of the three soldiers one by one: "Thank you for your hard work! You guys go to the side and have a rest first."

"yes!"

Wang Chengzhu came to the other prisoners again, glanced around with sharp eyes, and said: "Let me introduce myself, I, Wang Chengzhu, am the artillery platoon commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. At present, the country is facing a national crisis and the nation is in crisis. I very much hope that you can fight again.

A, join my army and fight against the Japanese and the Japanese!"

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"Platoon Commander Wang, you saved my life. I have nothing to say. From now on, I will fight the Japanese with you!"

The prisoners hesitated for a moment. Some chose to join the Eighth Route Army without hesitation, while others did not speak. It was not that they were not grateful for Wang Chengzhu's life-saving grace. The main reason was that they all knew that the conditions of the Eighth Route Army were very difficult. Not only

The equipment is poor, and there is no military pay, so it is common to not have enough to eat.

Wang Chengzhu: "Okay! I, Wang Chengzhu, welcome you to join us on behalf of the Eighth Route Army. From now on, we are comrades who share blessings and hardships, brothers!"

After saying this, Wang Chengzhu looked at the prisoners who had not expressed their opinions: "If you are unwilling to join the Eighth Route Army, I, Wang Chengzhu, will not force you, but next I will go to attack the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp and rescue other prisoners trapped inside.

In order to prevent the leakage of intelligence, I have to temporarily aggrieve you and follow my troops to hide here. After I rescue the prisoners in the prison camp, you can leave on your own."

Naturally, the prisoners had no objections to Wang Chengzhu's arrangements. Even if they did, they were too embarrassed to speak out at this time.

Not long after, Duan Peng finished cleaning the battlefield and came to Wang Chengzhu to ask for instructions: "Platoon leader, what should we do with these puppet troops?"

What are these puppet troops doing the most?

Life-saving is the most powerful thing.

Before Wang Chengzhu could speak, they immediately raised their voices to express their position and said: "Platoon Leader Wang, we have long disliked the little Japs, but we just don't have a chance, so you let us follow you to fight the Japs."

!”

Is Wang Chengzhu's army short of men?

The answer is yes.

Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and agreed to the plea of ​​these puppet soldiers.

Of course, Wang Chengzhu still maintained his usual practice and would still execute the puppet soldiers who had committed heinous blood debts. Those who were unwilling to stay would be let go, but the premise was that they would no longer serve as lackeys for the Japanese in the future and be recorded.

Their information...

Two hours later.

Xu Hailang led the main force and also rushed to Yerengou.

After the troops arrived, Wang Chengzhu followed the original plan and led the Langya Special Forces and some soldiers of Squad 1 to the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp disguised as prisoners of war and Japanese puppet troops escorting the team.

As for the main force, after leaving a small number of people to take care of the puppet troops and prisoners, the rest, led by deputy platoon leader Xu Hailang, took the small road and rushed towards the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.
Chapter completed!
