He Dingyuan outside can't wait any longer. The troops still have many tasks.

"Since you won't surrender, let the little devils go to see their Amaterasu and throw grenades!"

The brothers have no sympathy for the Japanese. Regardless of whether they are soldiers or ordinary people, as long as they are little devils, they should be killed.

Immediately, four or five grenades flew into the second floor.

"Boom boom boom..."

Doors and windows were broken, and screams spread.

After the explosion, He Dingyuan ordered:

"Leave one squad to take a look, and stab the injured ones. If there are any who are still alive, tie them up first, and then hand them over to the brigade commander for disposal. The rest of the team will evacuate the miners as planned!"

.

The sound of gunfire got closer and closer, and at the same time it gradually became sparse.

Knowing that the time had come, Cao Yanhan and the others made noise in the house to attract the mine police, and then took the opportunity to kill them.

But no matter how much they yelled, even scolding the eighteen generations of the traitor captain's ancestors, there was still no movement outside, and the arrogant and domineering mine policemen seemed to have disappeared.

"The situation is not right." Lao Cao asked everyone to stop the noise, "Those bastards probably ran away when the situation was bad."

"Damn it!"

"You son of a bitch, you ran too fast. I haven't avenged the blows on my back yet." Old Han jumped down from the bed.

"You guys wait, I'll go out and check the situation first."

"Be careful."

Old Han came to the door and pulled it tentatively a few times, and found that the door was unlocked, which confirmed his suspicion.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Quick, quick, quick... don't wait!"

He leaned against the door and looked for a while, only to see a few figures outside, and a few gunshots heard from time to time.

The mine police who usually guard the living area have disappeared. The door to the living area is open, leaving the miners unattended.

"Come out!" He turned around and shouted, "All the turtles have escaped. The shooters all spoke Chinese. We are saved!"

Lao Cao and Lao Yan carefully walked out with the prisoners. The scene that greeted their eyes did not change much from usual, except that the little Japanese and traitors that made them hate it were gone.

Soon, most of the miners came out. Everyone lay on the barbed wire fence and looked curiously at the troops outside.

"Hurry up, don't make a mistake in one mine!"

"yes!"

…

Troops kept running past them, and occasionally the shouts of officers could be heard.

There was a dense crowd of miners on the edge. The soldiers who rushed past just turned their heads and glanced, and everyone kept walking.

This made Lao Cao and others even more confused. It seemed that this force did not attack the mine specifically to rescue them.

"Hey, brother, which part are you in?"

Lao Cao saw a second lieutenant passing by and hurriedly asked.

"Stay still, the troops behind will come and take you away." The second lieutenant just said these words in a hurry and ran away.

"Why!"

Hearing these kind words in Chinese, the miners were finally convinced that they were saved and hugged each other happily.

About 10 minutes later, under the leadership of two officers, seven to eight hundred soldiers without guns came straight to the residential area.

"Lao Li, I am responsible for evacuating the national army prisoners, and you are responsible for the common people." Wang Xueqin said breathlessly.

"okay!"

Hundreds of people rushed to different locations, saying the same thing:

"Brothers and fellow villagers, we are the national army and we are here to rescue you. The little devils have been wiped out by us. Now don't panic and follow the command. We will take you out of the mine safely."

"Don't worry, no one will be left behind!"

Immediately there was a buzz among the common people. Many of them had been captured by the little devils.

This mine is their nightmare. They have suffered tremendous physical and psychological torture. They have long been looking forward to getting out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Many people rushed out when they were excited or nervous, causing quite a commotion in the evacuated team.

Fortunately, Wang Xueqin and Li Zhaoying brought everyone here this time.

With the comfort of everyone, the evacuation team became orderly again.

The prisoners of the national army were much calmer than the common people because they were always led by a few people.

Cui Hao was directing the brothers to evacuate the crowd. He liked doing this kind of work because he could find a sense of accomplishment and value from this kind of work.

Unlike before when he was a puppet soldier and was reviled by thousands of people, now he is feeling the sincere gratitude of the people, and feels a little proud in his heart.

"Brother, I would like to ask you, which army are you from?"

Cui Hao looked at the person asking the question with a professional smile on his face. He intuitively believed that this person was also an officer before he was captured, so he said proudly:

"Brother, please follow the team closely. Don't worry, don't be afraid. We are the Northern Anhui Independent Brigade, and we are here to rescue you."

"Does Jiangdong know? He is our brigade commander. He fought bloody battles in Songhu and beat the crap out of the little Japanese. In Nanjing, he was the one who saved hundreds of thousands of people. I heard that people in some places now worship our brigade commander.

Where’s the incense? There’s more…”

Cui Hao couldn't stop as soon as he started speaking. Although he could be regarded as a prisoner of an independent brigade now, when he talked about Jiangdong's past achievements, his face was full of pride, as if he had experienced these battles personally.

.

Lao Cao wiped the saliva from his face and listened to the man beside him talking endlessly. He gradually understood the origin of this army.

Inspired by Zhang Shengqing's previous Chariot of Fire, Wang Xueqin prepared to transport the rescued miners to Zaozhuang by train.

There is a railway between Zaozhuang and Zhongxing Coal Mine. When Zaozhuang was attacked, the Independent Brigade also damaged this railway line.

However, in order to transport coal, the Japanese army repaired the railway line in just a few days, which now greatly facilitated Wang Xueqin's evacuation work.

The miners boarded the train one by one and were pulled to Zaozhuang amidst the sound of whistles.

"Haha..." Jiang Dong pointed to the busy train and said, "My Director Wang, how did you come up with such a good idea?"

Wang Xueqin was so busy that she felt sweat on her forehead.

"All the trains in the mine can be used, and there are many drivers. I just thought that transporting people could be faster and make the brigade commander laugh..."

"Okay, this method is very good. At this speed, the time to evacuate the miners will be much shorter than we previously estimated. The logistics team has made a great contribution."

Jiang Dong's praise made Wang Xueqin very happy, "Brigadier Commander, you go and do other things first. Leave this to me."

"good!"

Jiang Dong had turned Wang Xueqin from the position of county magistrate just for today.

The miners have lined up several hundred meters long, waiting to board the train.

When Jiang Dong and others passed by the miners, the latter all looked at them gratefully.

Jiang Dong smiled and nodded as he walked, looking like a kind and friendly person.

"Brigadier Jiang...is this Brigadier Jiang?"

Suddenly a voice in the queue asked.

Xiaodouzi and Wu Zhan stood in front of Jiangdong immediately.

The speaker slowly squeezed out of the crowd, "It's really Brigadier Jiang!"

The person in front of him was unkempt and his clothes were in tatters. After Jiang Dong looked at him carefully for a while, he realized that he looked familiar.

"Who are you………"

Xie Chengrui on the side also looked curiously.

"Brigadier Jiang, I am Wang Chao. We met in Banqiao Town and Xuzhou. You also took one of my guns, don't you remember?"

Jiang Dong, Xiaodouzi and Xie Chengrui all looked suddenly enlightened.

Jiangdong came closer,

"You are the commander of the army? How did you end up like this?"

Seeing Jiang Dong finally recognized him, two lines of clear tears flowed from Wang Chao's eyes.

"Brigadier Jiang, I worked so hard to find you!" he said with a tearful voice.

Jiangdong:???

Xie Chengrui:???
