"What important information?"

When Wang Chengzhu heard that completing this deal would at least double the strength of the independent battalion, he immediately became interested.

Wang Shugen: "The soldiers we sent to Xing County bribed the company commander of the Imperial Association Army and learned while drinking with him that the Japanese army had just captured a group of migrant workers and were going to send them to a place called Dashawan.

According to the company commander of the Imperial Association Army, the Japanese army would send a group of migrant workers to Dashawan every once in a while, and in addition to the migrant workers, there seemed to be many prisoners of war who were also sent here.

Over time, more than 500 migrant workers and prisoners of war were sent through his hands."

"I speculate that this place may be a prisoner of war camp, and the number of people detained there is at least more than a thousand.

Because in addition to the company commander of the Imperial Association Army, Japanese soldiers from other places will also send migrant workers and prisoners of war here."

Wang Chengzhu thought for a moment and said: "Dashawan should not be as simple as a prisoner of war camp. If it were a prisoner of war camp, the Japanese would not have to arrest migrant workers."

"Let's go back to the camp headquarters!"

After saying that, Wang Chengzhu went down the mountain and rushed towards the camp headquarters.

It was lunch break time now. After learning that Wang Shugen had brought good news, all the main cadres of the independent battalion came to the battalion headquarters.

Wang Chengzhu took out a combat map seized from the Japanese and soon found a place called Dashawan 30 kilometers west of Xingxian County.

Wang Chengzhu pointed at the map and said: "I know why the Japanese escorted migrant workers and prisoners of war here!"

Everyone subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Wang Chengzhu said word by word: "Dig coal!"

Coal is a very important resource. Coal is indispensable for train running, power generation, steel smelting, etc.

And if you want to ask what Shanxi is most famous for, it is undoubtedly the coal boss.

However, although there is a lot of coal in Shanxi, it is not available everywhere.

When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised and said: "Dig coal? Battalion Commander, how do you know there is coal here? Have you ever been here?"

Wang Chengzhu shook his head: "I say you guys, you still have a lot to learn, especially this map. You have to figure it out for me, otherwise your job will be that of company commander at best."

"Why?"

Wang Chengzhu didn't say it was okay, but when he did, everyone became even more confused.

Xu Hailang was the company commander when he joined the Independent Battalion before the uprising. He had broader knowledge than others. He noticed the position of Wang Chengzhu’s finger and said: "Batalion Commander, I understand, there are signs on the little devil's map.

, that black square is the coal logo!”

Everyone suddenly realized that there were so many ways in the map.

However, this cannot be blamed on Wang Shugen and Tian Shuisheng. After all, before the new group was broken into pieces and dispersed, they were just ordinary soldiers. They had not read a book and did not know many words. They could only read a map.

Very good.

How can we recognize the energy labels on the map without anyone teaching us?

"good!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded: "The deputy battalion commander is right. This black square is the mark of coal on the map. Since there is coal in this place and it was marked on the map by the Japanese, it means that this place must be a rich mine.

Do you understand?"

"I understand. It turns out there are so many ways on the map. It seems we should really strengthen our study."

Everyone showed their eyes eager to learn.

"As long as you know how to study! After this operation is over, I will hold an officer training class to teach you bumpkin!"

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu asked again: "By the way, Genzi, how many Japs are stationed in Xingxian County?"

"The Japs have stationed about a brigade of troops in Xing County. However, these Japs are not all in the county seat, but are scattered in various strongholds near Xing County.

In the county seat, including the military police squadron, there are probably more than 500 Japanese."

Wang Shugen recounted the information detected by the reconnaissance company soldiers.

During this period, each company is taking the time to strengthen training to improve combat effectiveness.

The reconnaissance company is no exception.

However, the training of the reconnaissance company is different from that of other companies. They are the eyes of the independent battalion. In addition to regular training, they also need to train reconnaissance capabilities.

If the independent battalion wants to develop, intelligence must come first.

With the development of the army, the reconnaissance company's reconnaissance scope has continued to expand, and has spread from 30 kilometers around Wangjiacun to several surrounding counties.

Xingxian is one of them.

Spending money to bribe the Imperial Alliance Army is one of the methods used by the reconnaissance company to collect intelligence.

In other words, Wang Chengzhu was rich, but if it were other Eighth Route Army soldiers, he really wouldn't be able to support such a scout.

Because just for this piece of information about Dashawan, the reconnaissance company spent at least 500 yuan to find the ocean.

Wang Chengzhu thought for a moment and said: "Genzi, please immediately take people to Dashawan to conduct reconnaissance and investigate the specific situation there and the Japanese defenses.

Remember, don’t alert the enemy!”

"yes!"

Wang Shugen promised, stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wang Chengzhu's voice: "Wait a minute."

Wang Shugen turned around and asked: "Batalion Commander, do you have any other instructions?"

"Leave the task of reconnaissance to Dashawan to the Langya Special Forces."

Although the intelligence tasks of the independent battalion are generally handled by the reconnaissance company, the reconnaissance capabilities of the Wolf Fang Special Forces far exceed that of the reconnaissance company, but under normal circumstances they do not need to be dispatched.

This time it was of great importance. To ensure safety, after careful consideration, Wang Chengzhu decided to hand over this task to the special operations team.

"Duan Peng, take a few team members to Dashawan immediately and go back early!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
