After spending a lot of time asking, Jiang Dong finally figured out the origins of the women. Just as he had guessed, the largest group of comfort women were Chinese women, with nearly 600 of them. They were all occupied by the Japs in Northeast and North China.

Caught here.

In addition to Chinese women, there are 300 Koreans and more than 200 Japanese.

After the women replenished their drinking water and food, their mental state was better than at the beginning, but they were still stupid and confused.

Seeing so many women wandering in front of them, Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui's brows were furrowed, and they really didn't know how to deal with them.

Although he knew that they were a group of pitiful people, especially Chinese women, Jiang Dong was in a dilemma at this moment.

Leave them where they are. The independent brigade will definitely be recaptured by the Japs after they leave. If they are taken with them, the soldiers will be unable to use their hands and feet during the battle, and may drag this unit deep behind enemy lines to death.

"Alas!" Jiang Dong sighed helplessly.

"Brigadier, why don't we take away our own people, and the Koreans and Japanese women will be left to fend for themselves." Xie Chengrui said after considering.

Jiang Dong did not express his position, but frowned.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Gunshots and explosions were heard from the north and south, and Jiangdong estimated that the Japanese patrols on this road were attracted.

If things continue like this, the Japs from Zaozhuang and Yixian may be here soon.

"Brigadier Jiang, let's prepare to retreat!" Hong Zhenhai had already emptied the train of supplies and looked very excited at the moment.

Jiang **ran said to Hong Zhenhai:

"All the weapons, ammunition, food, cloth and other materials on this train will be given to your Weishan Lake detachment."

Hong Zhenhai's eyes widened when he heard this, "Brigadier Jiang really doesn't want it at all?"

Jiang Dong nodded, pointed at the many women in front of him and said:

"But I also want to hand over these nearly a thousand women to you. You also know that the Independent Brigade will leave Shandong after fighting this battle. From now on, the Weishan Lake area will all belong to the Weishan Lake Brigade."

"This... this... this..." Hong Zhenhai was speechless for a moment. His Weishan Lake detachment currently only has about 10 people, so many women...

Seeing Hong Zhenhai's hesitation, Jiang Dong continued:

"Tonight's Japanese-style equipment is at least enough to equip a battalion of troops. As long as you have guns and cannons, you can expand the team as you like."

Hong Zhenhai stared at Jiang Dong, and he understood the meaning of the latter's words. If the Weishan Lake detachment did not take in these women, they would not be able to get the equipment tonight.

"Actually, the life and death of the Koreans and Japanese is none of our business. The Weishan Lake detachment only needs to take in these more than 500 Chinese compatriots." Jiangdong continued to encourage.

The Sulu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps was in the mountains and was extremely short of supplies. Hong Zhenhai thought about it and realized that he couldn't send these women into the mountains. It would be difficult to feed a thousand mouths.

"Okay, just do what Brigadier Jiang said, we will take away the Chinese compatriots and temporarily place them on Weishan Island."

A smile flashed across Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui's lips. After this matter was arranged, the Independence Brigade had more important tasks.

"Captain Hong, you have done our independent brigade a favor by doing this. To express our gratitude, we will help clean up the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang before leaving."

"What?" Hong Zhenhai asked in surprise, "You want to attack Zaozhuang?"

"Hehe..." Jiang Dong said with a smile: "Didn't you tell us that there is only one Japanese brigade in Zaozhuang and Yixian?"

"But there are still thousands of puppet troops!"

"They are all people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They are nothing to worry about!"

"Uh..." Hong Zhenhai thought for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case, so he said no more.

"Brigadier! Brigadier!..." Two soldiers carrying sniper rifles ran over from a distance.

"What happened? What did you find?" Xie Chengrui asked first.

"Brigade commander, chief of staff!" the soldier quickly saluted, "large Japanese troops appeared in the east and north at the same time. It seems they are reinforcements from Zaozhuang and Yixian."

"Speak slowly and be specific!" Jiang Dong said.

"There is probably one squadron of Japanese troops and one regiment of puppet troops in the north; there are also more than a hundred Japanese soldiers and one battalion of puppet troops in the east."

"How far away?"

"According to the second regiment's blocking position, it is less than four miles away."

"Okay, I understand. You continue to monitor the movements of the Japanese army and report back when there is any situation!"

Watching the investigators go away, Xie Chengrui asked eagerly:

"Brigadier, fight or not!"

Jiang Dong smiled, "Is there any reason not to eat the fat meat that is brought to your mouth? The little devil commander may think that we are a guerrilla force wandering around, so he sent so many puppet troops to disgust us. Since the little devil doesn't

If we know our details, we will prepare a big surprise for them so that they will never come back!"

Nowadays, the combat effectiveness of a single soldier of the independent brigade is even better than that of the Japanese soldiers. With a good hand in hand, Jiangdong cannot be defeated no matter what.

"The Second Regiment is encircling and annihilating the Japanese troops in the direction of Zaozhuang. The First Regiment is responsible for the Yixian side and strives to annihilate the two groups of enemies in the field. We don't have much time to attack the enemy!"

"Yes!" Xie Chengrui went to convey the order in person, "I will definitely make it clear to the two regimental commanders what the brigade commander means."

Hong Zhenhai also seemed quite excited at this moment. It was a pleasure to fight with the Independence Brigade. "Commander Jiang, is there any place where we can be used?"

"Well..." Jiang Dong said, "it's better to send these hundreds of women to Weishan Island first. Captain Hong will bring his people back to the battlefield tomorrow to pick up the spoils."

Hong Zhenhai was a little hesitant. In his heart, he really wanted to follow the large army and fight the little devil face to face. "Okay, I will go back as soon as possible!"

While the main force was fighting the Japs, Chen Zhengyue, leading 20 brothers from the Hunter Squadron, was carrying out the bridge bombing mission assigned to him by Jiangdong.

"Captain, the brigade commander must have knocked down the Japanese train. We have to hurry up, otherwise the Japanese at the bridge will receive the news soon." Zhao Erniu suggested in a low voice next to Chen Zhengyue.

"Ok, I know."

Chen Zhengyue was looking through the scope at the bridgehead 300 meters away. Five puppet soldiers and two Japs were swaying in front of his eyes.

Sandbag bunkers were built on both sides of the railway, with a crooked handle on one side of the bunker. Behind the sandbag bunker, there were two small rows of simple barracks made of wooden boards, and Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who were not on duty were inside.

rest.

Although the Hunter Squadron was more than enough to deal with more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops, Chen Zhengyue did not dare to be careless and tried his best to think of every detail and observe every place in place.

"Er Niu, you take a few brothers to cover here. I'll take people to touch it directly and try to catch the little devil by surprise."

The two have been partners for a long time and have a strong tacit understanding with each other. "Okay, just go ahead and leave this place to me!"

Chen Zhengyue rolled her eyes at Zhao Erniu and sneaked quietly in the night with her nine brothers.

After 20 minutes, they reached the front of the Japanese bunkers on both sides, and the whole process did not attract anyone's attention.

The crooked machine gun was held in the hand of a puppet soldier, and beside him there were several puppet soldiers and two little Japanese. Although they each faced different directions and made warning appearances, the brothers of the Hunter Squadron could clearly see

I felt that none of them were on guard seriously, and their thoughts might have flown to Java Island.

Black shadows wandered through the night like ghosts, and it didn't take long for them to lock on their respective targets.

This kind of battle has been practiced many times in normal training. Zhao Erniu saw that the commandos were ready, and immediately ordered the team members around him to open fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

Within one second, ten bullets flew at speeds exceeding sound toward the puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers 300 meters away.

No one observed the results of the battle. After pulling the trigger, he quickly pulled the bolt, loaded the gun, and took aim again.

The puppet soldiers and little Japanese who were standing guard were shot and fell to the ground one after another, their faces still retaining the expressions of imagination they had before.

Chen Zhengyue and the others were only more than 20 meters away from the Japanese barracks. After the gunshots were fired, the commandos rushed out like cheetahs.

"Squeak...squeak..."

Before the puppet soldiers and Japanese soldiers in the barracks could figure out the situation, smoke-emitting grenades were thrown at their feet.

"Boom boom boom..."

Explosions sounded one after another, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the room were blown down in pieces.

Some lucky people were naked and their faces were covered in blood. When they rolled and crawled out of the room, they happened to bump into the guns of Chen Zhengyue and others.

Since it was close combat, all the commandos held were pistols, and the dense bullets knocked down the survivors one by one.

Two minutes later, no one rushed out of the barracks.

"Surrender, we surrender!"

In the end, there were more than a dozen puppet soldiers left, lying in the house shouting to surrender.

Almost all of the puppet soldiers were injured, and blood was flowing. Chen Zhengyue had no extra thoughts to care about them, so she tied them up and threw them aside.

There were little Japs stationed at both ends of the bridge. The fighting here quickly attracted the attention of the Japs on the other side. Many figures could be seen running quickly on the bridge.

"Da da da da..."

The commandos turned their crooked guns and blocked the narrow bridge deck with one shot.

When Zhao Erniu and his men came up, the little Japs at the bridge were hit by precise snipers so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.
