Two days later.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Duan Peng returned to Wangjia Village from Dashawan and directly found Wang Chengzhu: "Batalion Commander, I'm back!"

"Very good, how is the situation?" Wang Chengzhu did not hesitate and went straight to the topic.

Duan Peng took out a simple map he drew and said: "Battal Commander, this is the simple map I drew. There is indeed a large coal mine near Dashawan, located southeast of Dashawan Village."

“At the same time, there was also a concentration camp there, built right next to the mine, where a large number of prisoners of war and migrant workers were imprisoned.

They were oppressed by the Japanese and worked day and night to dig coal, and almost every day someone died from overwork."

"This concentration camp is surrounded by high walls. Japanese soldiers patrol the walls and stand guard 24 hours a day, and there are also a large number of machine guns mounted on them."

Wang Chengzhu: "How many people are detained inside? Do you have any approximate data?"

Duan Peng: "At least no less than 2,000 people."

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhu was immediately surprised, and then asked thoughtfully: "No less than 2,000 people? You read that correctly, right?"

Duan Peng: "Absolutely correct. I observed the whole day yesterday. The prisoners of war were divided into three batches and took turns going to the mine to dig coal 24 hours a day.

Although I did not count carefully, when the shift was handed over, each batch of prisoners of war and migrant workers was no less than seven or eight hundred people."

"How many guards did the Japanese army have?" Wang Chengzhu asked the most critical question.

Duan Peng: "Not many. Looking at the establishment, it should be a reinforced squadron with no more than 300 people. It is mainly responsible for the security issues of the concentration camp."

After a pause, Duan Peng seemed to have thought of something, and then continued: "By the way, there are many Japanese in strange clothes in the concentration camp."

Wang Chengzhu was stunned: "Japanese wearing strange clothes?"

Duan Peng: "Yes! These Japs are all wearing Japanese samurai uniforms, with samurai swords hanging around their waists, and hair buns on their heads. They look neither male nor female.

The strangest thing is that in such a cold weather, they are actually wearing wooden shoes, as if they are not afraid of the cold."

Through Duan Peng's description, Wang Chengzhu immediately knew the identity of these Japanese: "These guys are Japanese ronin!"

"What is a ronin?"

Duan Peng has never left Shanxi since he was born, and has never heard Wang Chengzhu popularize knowledge in this area. Naturally, he has no idea what a Japanese ronin is.

Wang Chengzhu has experience in dozens of anti-war dramas, and he can be said to be very clear about Japanese ronin. He explained at the moment: "In Japan, ronin refers specifically to scoundrels who wander around. Simply put, they are a group of wandering vicious dogs.

Officially speaking, it refers to the poor samurai who wandered around and had no fixed residence after the Southwest War during the Meiji Restoration in Japan. They are a very complex and powerful social class in modern Japanese society."

After listening to Wang Chengzhu's explanation, Duan Peng had a certain understanding of Japanese ronin, and he said disdainfully: "Oh, it turns out they are just a group of ruffians."

Wang Chengzhu said: "The Japanese ronin are not just local hooligans, they are the minions of the Japanese army that invaded China.

There are not many Japanese ronin in Shanxi, but in some developed coastal cities, Japanese ronin can be found almost everywhere."

"These guys like to fight bravely. They have the support of the Japanese military behind them. They often cause trouble for no reason and often fight with others. Many of our compatriots have been bullied and even massacred by Japanese ronin.

"

"Also, the Japanese ronin came to China under the pretense of using force to make friends, but in fact they came to stand up for the Japanese invaders.

They went around buying traitors, collecting intelligence, and then sent it back to the Japanese headquarters to prepare for the Japanese invasion of China."

Duan Peng: "It turns out that these guys are so hateful, I will definitely eliminate them all later!"

Wang Chengzhu asked again: "By the way, how many ronin are there in Japan? Have you investigated clearly?"

Duan Peng: "These Japanese ronin are mainly responsible for supervising work. I saw about 100 of them in the mine, but I don't know how many there are in the concentration camp."

Wang Chengzhu looked at the map carefully and then said: "A reinforced squadron plus one or two hundred ronin will not exceed 500 people in a full attack.

This deal must be done!"

"Monk, inform the commanders of each company to come to the battalion headquarters for a meeting immediately!"

"yes!"

Monk Wei agreed and immediately started making phone calls.

The Independence Battalion had won so many battles and not only captured a radio but also a number of telephones, which could meet the communications needs of each company.

About half an hour later, the company commanders from each company arrived at the battalion headquarters one after another.

With the development of the army, each company of the independent battalion has been stationed separately, so it is much slower for each company commander to arrive at the battalion headquarters than before.

"Everyone is here, right? Great!"

Wang Chengzhu looked around, and then briefly recounted the information Duan Peng had detected.

Then he said: "This time, we not only have to capture Dashawan and rescue the compatriots who are suffering here, but we also have to capture Xingxian County."

The cavalry company commander Chen Xiao was impatient. He couldn't help but ask: "Batalion Commander, how are we going to fight?"

Wang Chengzhu made combat arrangements and said: "It's very simple. We are still doing the same old thing, just like wiping out the Japanese in Donghui Township."

"This time our troops are divided into two groups. The first and second companies are responsible for attacking Dashawan Concentration Camp, while the third, fourth, fifth and reconnaissance companies are responsible for attacking Xingxian County."

"After the first and second companies finish attacking the Dashawan concentration camp, I will use Dashawan's phone number to call the Japanese in the county for help.

The mission of the Third Company, the Fourth Company, the Fifth Company, and the Reconnaissance Company is to set up an ambush on the road from the county town to Dashawan. After wiping out the Japs who came to support them, they will immediately launch a counterattack and capture the county town!"

"At the same time, the special forces must also be divided into two groups. The first and second teams are responsible for killing all the Japanese sentries outside the Dashawan Concentration Camp and opening the gate. It is best to kill all the Japanese in the concentration camp without any bloodshed.

Eliminate it.

The third team went to the county seat. While the main force was attacking the city, they entered the city, killed the Japanese on duty on the city tower, and opened the city gate."

"This is the mission, do you all understand?"

"Understood, I promise to complete the task!"

All the cadres agreed with a bang.

When Chen Xiao heard that he had not been assigned a combat mission, he became a little anxious and asked: "Battalion Commander, what about our cavalry battalion?"
Chapter completed!
