"Where are the young men who were captured?" Lin Gen found a puppet army captain and asked.

The leader of the puppet army was stunned for a moment, feeling a little surprised. After taking down Yuan Town, shouldn't these Eighth Route Army directly collect supplies? But he quickly reacted and took Liu Gen towards the east of the town. There was a cave there.

The strong man captured by the Japanese was there.

The Zhongcun Squadron in Laiyuan Town continued to capture young men for the purpose of building railways and digging coal. The Japs did not have that many manpower, so naturally they had no choice but to target the Chinese. The mortality rate of the young men captured by the Japs was very high, etc.

When Liu Gen led the soldiers to the cave where the young men were imprisoned, they could see many sick young men. Most of the young men were very weak. In order to prevent the young men from resisting, the Japanese provided limited food.

"We are the Eighth Route Army. We will rescue everyone today. If you are able to move, please follow our Eighth Route Army to carry supplies. If you are unable to move, please follow our soldiers to retreat to the mountains in advance!" Liu looked at the strong men in the cave.

Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

The young men imprisoned in the cave all looked shocked. They had heard the faint sound of gunfire and artillery fire from outside, but they never thought that the Japanese in Laiyuan Town would really be defeated by the Eighth Route Army. When did the Eighth Route Army become so capable?

Amazing? After being captured by the Japanese for so long, many people did not think they had any hope of escaping. Even though the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army tried to rescue them before, they were unable to do so.

"Are you really the Eighth Route Army? Are you lying to us?" Someone asked in disbelief.

Liu Gen laughed and said: "You don't have to wonder whether we are the Eighth Route Army. It doesn't make any sense. Now you can come out of the cave and take a look. Those who are willing to follow our Eighth Route Army can come with us! Those who are not willing,

Just get some dry food and go back to your hometown! But I want to tell you that our Eighth Route Army is constantly fighting with the Japanese during this period, so you need to be vigilant enough when you return to your hometown."

After hearing Liu Gen's words, someone walked out of the cave and looked towards Laiyuan Town. They could see many Eighth Route Army soldiers cleaning the battlefield and searching for supplies from the Japanese! Notice that the surrendered puppet troops also moved the Japanese and stored them there.

The supplies in the distant town were retreating towards the mountainous area.

With Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander, coordinating, Liu Gen was very relieved. On the outskirts of Laiyuan Town, Zhang Dabiao arranged a dozen soldiers to be on guard to prevent the Japanese Zhongcun Squadron from returning!

He returned to Laiyuan Town with some people who still had the strength to act. These were people who were willing to help the Eighth Route Army transport supplies. Most of the people who did not come came because they did not have enough strength to act. Liu Gen asked the soldiers to help the rescued

The strong men brought them dry food to replenish their physical strength. Otherwise, given the condition of these people, it would be difficult to escape if the Japanese were chasing them.

"How's it going?" Seeing Liu Gen coming back, Zhang Dabiao asked in a deep voice.

Liu Gen shook his head, his expression not very good, "Japanese are really beasts, there are many old men among the captured men, most of them died in hard work, there are not many left now."

"These strong men who were imprisoned in caves by the Japanese were all skinny. The Japanese made them work hard but did not provide them with enough food!"

Zhang Dabiao was not too surprised. He knew that the Japs were like this. They had never stopped oppressing the Chinese people. Even these puppet soldiers who had taken refuge in the Japs and acted as dogs for the Japs did not have a good look on their faces.

It can be seen from the physical quality of these puppet soldiers that most of the puppet soldiers can't see any meat on their bodies, and they will not be able to eat well in the hands of the Japanese.

"Let everyone have something to eat first," Zhang Dabiao said.

Liu Gen didn't have any objections. No doubt the soldiers and the strong men who were brought out were quite exhausted, and it was very necessary to eat something. After taking out the dry food he carried with him and giving some to the soldiers around him, Liu Gen

Gen started to eat it with big mouthfuls. In the past, it was difficult for Liu Gen to eat dry food. Who would let the dry food get stuck in his throat? But now, when he eats dry food, Liu Gen has long been accustomed to the taste.

After eating dry food, Liu Gen led the soldiers to get busy again. In Laiyuan Town, the Japanese had indeed stored a lot of supplies and ammunition. Choosing to attack Laiyuan Town was a correct choice.

After all the ammunition was collected, Liu Gen and others stopped staying and decisively chose to leave Laiyuan Town.

With the help of the puppet troops and the rescued men, all the ammunition and supplies were taken away. What surprised Liu Gen was that the Japanese did not have time to blow up the three heavy machine guns deployed in other areas of Laiyuan Town. Faced with the heavy machine guns,

Naturally, they would not give up heavy weapons like machine guns, so a dozen soldiers were sent forward carrying heavy machine guns.

As soon as they entered the mountain, news came from the soldiers who were covering the retreat behind that Nakamura Squadron was back.

After Liu Gen and Zhang Dabiao asked the soldiers to move forward, they turned around and joined the soldiers covering behind. Through the binoculars, they could see that the Japanese Zhongcun Squadron was rapidly heading towards Laiyuan Town. Apparently they had discovered Laiyuan Town.

The situation is not right! Liu Gen could see that there were not many Japanese who returned to Laiyuan Town, only more than a hundred people. They should be part of the soldiers of the Zhongcun Squadron.

"Genzi, it seems that some Japanese from the Zhongcun Squadron have stayed at Nanguan Railway Station!" Zhang Dabiao said, turning to look at Liu Gen.

Liu Gen nodded. This should be the reason why these Japs are only in their early 100s. What can Japs in their early 100s do? Liu Gen may have seen that these Japs don’t have many heavy weapons in their hands. Two Type 92s

It seems that the infantry artillery was not carried, and as for the heavy machine gun, there was only one! In order to ensure the safety of Nanguan Railway Station, the Japanese probably left a lot of heavy weapons there and spent a lot of money.

"How about it? Genzi? Do you want to fight back against the Japanese?" Zhang Dabiao suddenly said,

Liu Gen looked at Zhang Dabiao and could see the eagerness in Zhang Dabiao's eyes, which made him think that it would be possible to hit the Japanese with a single shot. It's just that the Japanese would definitely be on guard after seeing the situation in Laiyuan Town, right?

, if you want to attack the Japs again, the casualties will definitely be high. In order to capture Yuan Town, nearly twenty soldiers died heroically, and then they fought against the Japs who were over a hundred years old. Maybe the entire battalion would be here.

"Brother Zhang, I think we should forget it. The Japs are not weak in combat. Besides, even if we succeed in capturing these little Japs, our casualties will not be small and our gains will certainly not be much. There is not much good about these little Japs.

Things, in order to deal with them, we will waste a lot of bullets and many soldiers will sacrifice their lives. It is not worth it!" Liu Gen was extremely rational and clearly saw the benefits and losses involved.
