As the Japanese soldiers fled in the coal mine were wiped out by the militia brigade in company platoons, the prisoners who knew they had been saved had no words to respect the old commander Hu Guangzong. In addition, they were reborn, their hatred for the Japanese increased. In addition, after joining the militia column, they could still follow Hu Guangzong back to their hometown. These former Northeast Army prisoners could not resist.

Under the protection of the reconnaissance brigade, several people familiar with the mine were selected from the prisoners, and another group of prisoners who were still operating in the mine were rescued. Hundreds of statistics from the militia column counted all the prisoners on the mine.

When nearly 10,000 soldiers came in, and when less than 7,000 were suddenly reduced, Hu Guangzong's tears and his anger towards the Japanese were like a volcano erupting. However, he knew very well that if he had not rescued these miners in time today, the number of about 7,000 prisoners would have increased by hundreds of casualties every day.

The soldiers from the reconnaissance brigade took all the rescued veterans onto the train and moved them to the base first. Seeing the equipment built by the Japanese in the mine for a lot of money, Hu Guangzong, who was unable to find the target of breath, had to order the troops to remove all the equipment in the mine. Except for some of the explosives stored by the Japanese in the filling column, the rest of the extra ones were buried in the built mine.

As for the Japanese who hid in the mine, Hu Guangzong also lost interest in continuing to clear them. As long as the entrance of the mine cave was blown up, the Japanese inside had to wait for a while. Even if the Japanese reinforcements arrived after dawn, it would be impossible to open the mine that had been blown up for less than ten or half a month. If the Japanese hiding inside had survived for ten or half a month, Hu Guangzong could only blame God for not having eyes, allowing these Japanese who killed thousands of swords to live for so long.

With the Northeast Army captives of the Qiqianlai and a batch of valuable supplies, they were transported to the base by the Japanese train. The militias in the base area who had already received the information also prepared the changing clothes and food for these Northeast Army soldiers. After taking a bath and dressing in an orderly manner, these Northeast Army soldiers who had lived in the coal mine for half a year seemed to feel that everything that had happened before was like a nightmare.

Jingjing Coal Mine was bombed again, and the North China Garage Command was shocked, and Commander Mei Wei even split Li Huamu's desk into two pieces. This shows how angry these senior Japanese officials were.

In fact, they all think it is normal for the coal mine to be captured, but what is angry is that the guys from the militia column are all masters who can't fight and destroy the war. The coal mine they finally spent a lot of money to repair was paralyzed again one night. The information fed back from the support troops who arrived after dawn, if the Jingzhi coal mine that was bombed again wanted to recover, it would consume more funds than the first time. This made the Japanese who always liked to plunder but did not like to invest, not furious!

What these senior Japanese officials did not expect was that the re-explosion of Jingjing Coal Mine was just an appetizer for this round of designated clearance campaign. Hu Guangzong, who was captured by the Northeast Army, was treated inhumanely at Jingjing Coal Mine, and was furious, in the next few days, he commanded the militia troops of the column to blow up the large and small mines on the ground in North China.

As long as the factories and mines managed by the Japanese were not moved much, except for those close to the county town, the rest of the others followed the old path of Jingzhi coal mines. This kind of battle that does not fight wars and specializes in sabotage has made the Japanese troops stationed in various counties in North China suffer. If the mine owners do not have a strong background, they can only leave their will to see if they can escape the revenge of the militia column.

If you have a Japanese mine owner with an identity background, you can hire troops to send troops to protect the North China. But if there are few Japanese troops garrisons, they will be killed by the factory. If there are many Japanese troops garrisons, then all the Japanese troops will be besieged by large militia troops. As long as these Japanese troops are drawn back, these militia troops will retreat. However, without the factories protected by the Japanese army, fate will naturally be unable to escape the looting of the militia column.

This destructive retaliation action made the originally smooth material supply of the North China garrison's garrison suddenly extremely difficult, and even affected the material supply of the Northeast garrison in the strategic rear. Not to mention, the Japanese troops stationed in the Central Plains who rely entirely on the North China garrison for material supply.

Perhaps it was because of the retaliation of the militia column that the Japanese army began to be in a state of great concern. Yan Laoxi, who was driven out of Taiyuan by the Japanese, and other warlord troops, unexpectedly launched a counterattack against the Japanese army in the occupied areas. In this winter, when the war was gradually extinguished, the entire Chinese battlefield seemed to have become hot all of a sudden.

Deng Chenggong, who had already arrived near Qing County, was on standby. After hearing the information sent by the intelligence officers from Qing County, the Japanese in the county were already in a food crisis, he couldn't help but smile and said in a silence: "Water mice, now we can see if you can still hold it in the city and not come out. Humph!"

Since leading the large army to Qing County, Deng Chenggong personally commanded the battle against the material supply line near Qing County. In his original words, it was that a grain of grain and supplies could not be allowed to enter Qing County. As for the people in the county town, thirty or fifty disappeared from the county town every day with the support of the militia column.

As the siege increased, the number of people in Qing County was very small, and basically the Japanese and puppet troops were among them. However, Deng Chenggong did not attack the county town, so he used this method of cutting flesh with a blunt knife, dragging the other county towns to hold the rest of the county town long ago, and a large number of Japanese troops who had already ambushed and waited for the militia column to attack the city.

Compared to Colonel Shangcao of the River Defense Regiment, he would have nothing to do every day when he was full, and he would find two military prostitutes to sing a song to pass the time. He learned that the city's food was insufficient to support for three days, and the major general of the city defense officer Shangu was a little uneasy. According to the plan of the North China Garrison Command, he wanted to use the River Defense Regiment as a temptation to mobilize most of the militia columns to siege.

But now the militia columns have in turn surrounded them. People inside can go out, but no one can return to the city. The entire county town is like a ghost city in broad daylight, and there is no one on the road outside the city.

Even if the garrison planes will deliver supplies to them in the air when the weather is good, it is natural to satisfy the supply of nearly 20,000 troops in the county town. Delivering on planes alone is naturally not a solution. But the key is that the militia column is not fooled at all, but in the fighting attitude of siege and attack, it will consume the Japanese and river defense troops in the city.

Food is a big problem. You can still use aircraft to send supplies, but the coal and cold-proof materials that must be stored in this cold weather have been consumed. Now many soldiers on duty on the city tower have begun to demolish the houses of the people in the city when they cannot bear the cold, and use the wood used to build houses as fuel. In the long run, the county town of Qingxian, which is already sparsely populated, can still retain the people!

‘Baga, these timid Chinese militiamen dare not fight hard with us, so they specialize in using such tricks. They are not worthy of working as soldiers!’

Shan Gu Tai saw the table full of reports of the city troops requesting supplies, and cursed him angrily. The adjutant who had been observing his expression suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "General, the reason why North China is like this today is actually caused by the River Defense Regiment. If Colonel Shangcao was eager to make contributions, he would not have been like this today when he attacked the Chinese village in such a big winter.

Our troops were hungry, but the soldiers of the river defense corps did not have to take on the task of defending the city every day, and they lived freely. According to the officers of the General Staff, Colonel Shangcao now drinks small wine every day and forcibly occupy the prostitutes in the army for more than a week. This domineering behavior made our officers very angry. If this conflict is not resolved, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers below will have any objections."

Regarding the adjutant's report on Shangcao, Major General Shantao seemed a little serious: "You should pay attention, Shangcao is an officer of the Great Japanese Empire, just like us. We must unite to achieve victory in the Great East Asian jihad. So don't say this again in the future. I won't be able to long, and the headquarters should have corresponding measures!"

It seemed that God deliberately gave Shan Gu Tai's face. Just as he finished speaking, a knock sounded outside the door. When the officer in the confidential room handed him a new telegram, Shan Gu Tai looked at him for some reason and felt relieved. Because, the culprit who had already been considered to have caused Qingxian to become the disaster today, he finally left his defense zone.

This is a combat instruction issued by the North China Garrison Command. The instructions given to Shan Gu Tai were that in view of the current difficulties in supplying materials by land in North China, in order to change the status quo, the river defense corps must be dispatched to replenish water supplies. To this end, his city defense officer, while cooperating with protecting the river defense corps, must do a good job in supporting the attacks that the river defense corps may encounter at any time.

How could Shan Gu Tai, who is a major general, not know about such official articles!

The telegram said that he was asked to cooperate with the support, but he knew very well that with the usual behavior of the militia column, this river defense corps that had been formed soon, as long as they walked out of the Qingxian County town, what was waiting for them would be the result of annihilation. However, compared to losing a river defense corps, the North China, which was in chaos, could calm down. In his opinion, this deal was still very worthwhile.

Shan Gu Tai, who knew it well, did not express the profound meaning contained in the telegram, but asked the adjutant to send the telegram to Colonel Shangcao, who did not know that he had been regarded as an abandoned son by the North China garrison.

After learning that he might become a hero who changed the situation again, Colonel Shangcao, who also felt bored in the county town, did not think deeper. Soon he assembled his own river defense corps, launched a gunboat ship that had not been started for a long time, and went along the river outside the Qing county town to transport supplies near Tianjin. As soon as the river defense corps left the city and started the ship, an urgent telegram was immediately transmitted through the radio waves to Deng Chenggong, who was also a little impatient.

‘The water mouse has been put into the water!’

A few long-awaited words made Deng Chenggong suddenly excited, and immediately notified the troops that were already on standby to quickly enter the riverside position. After preparing to annihilate the soldiers of the river defense corps, they could also rush back to the base to have a comfortable Spring Festival. After all, there are not two days before the Spring Festival. If you don’t hurry up, you might have to spend this Spring Festival in the smoke of gunpowder. This is somewhat a pity for the Chinese people who have always focused on the reunion of the Spring Festival!
