Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

"Old Li, you've worked hard. Take the soldiers back to rest. After all, you've been exhausted all night."

Li Yunlong nodded gently: "Okay, Lao Gao. Then I will go back and rest first. I will leave these prisoners of war we brought back to you to arrange."

He turned around and led the soldiers slowly towards the barracks.

At this time, Li Dakang also received the news and rushed to the scene.

He saw Gao Da arranging the prisoners, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Captain, it's great that you have rescued so many prisoners again."

Gundam turned around and saw Li Dakang coming.

"Captain Dakang, you've arrived just in time. I'll leave these rescued prisoners to you. Please arrange a barracks for them to rest."

Li Dakang nodded, then walked to the front of the prisoners and said loudly:

"Everyone, please follow me now. I will arrange barracks for you."

After hearing this, the prisoners followed Li Dakang towards the barracks.

Gaoda looked at the prisoners' backs as they left and said to Li Dazhuang beside him:

"Da Zhuang, go inform the people in the kitchen that we're going to have an extra meal today. With so many prisoners of war here, we must make sure they feel our hospitality."

Li Dazhuang nodded, turned and ran towards the kitchen.

………………

In Pingan County,

The Japanese soldier Saburo Sato stood anxiously in the office waiting for news.

Last night, Saburo Sato suddenly received a distress message from the Japanese squadron at Pingshan Mine.

Saburo Sato immediately sent troops to provide support, but he himself had no confidence in this rescue.

According to the call from Pingshan Minerals, he learned that the enemy actually had heavy artillery and was a member of the Central Army. The number of people he sent would probably not be enough to stop the enemy.

He was puzzled as to why the enemy always attacked the Pingshan mine.

The entire Shanxi province is rich in minerals, and Pingshan Mine is just a small corner of it, with no strategic value at all.

In the Heian County office, Saburo Sato waited for a long time.

Finally he received a telegram from the rescue team.

"The Pingshan Mine has been completely destroyed by the enemy, and the garrison squadron was completely wiped out, with no one left alive. According to on-site investigations, the enemy used heavy artillery."

Saburo Sato was shocked. He did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately picked up the phone to report the situation to the Taiyuan Command.

At the Taiyuan headquarters, General Yoshio Shinozuka was reviewing documents.

Suddenly, his adjutant came in hurriedly.

"Commander, the Pingshan Mine in Ping'an County was destroyed by the Central Army, and the garrison troops were completely wiped out."

Shinozuka Yoshio slammed the table in anger and shouted, "Baka!"

How could it be possible that the Central Army’s troops appeared in Pingyang?

He immediately realized that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this.

He turned to the adjutant next to him and ordered: "Order the intelligence department to thoroughly investigate this Central Army unit. The Central Army unit actually appeared in Pingyang. This is absolutely intolerable. I want to find them and completely eliminate them!"

After receiving the order, the adjutant immediately turned around and left to report to the intelligence department.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood in the office, feeling confused and uneasy.

He could never have imagined that the Central Army would suddenly appear in Ping'an County.

He wondered if the Central Army had made any new moves.

On the other hand, the Japanese intelligence department, having received the order, began a comprehensive investigation of the Central Army.

They used all their resources to try to find out the whereabouts and purpose of the Central Army.

The Central Army became the scapegoat for the county brigade without knowing it.

…………

Inside the command center of the Lijiazhuang County Brigade.

Gundam is handling various affairs.

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open and Li Dakang walked in quickly.

"Captain!"

"According to the questioning just now, these prisoners of war all came from the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp at the junction of Ping'an County and Heyuan County."

After hearing what Li Dakang said, Gaoda thought of the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp in his mind. Wasn’t that the prisoner-of-war camp where Wei Dayong was detained?

I didn't expect that this group of prisoners of war came from Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp.

"Captain Dakang, have you asked them how many people are still in the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp?"

Li Dakang shook his head. "Captain, I didn't ask that."

"Captain Dakang, let's go and ask the prisoners how many people are in the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.

I have a plan to capture the Japanese Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.

We don’t have enough veterans in our ranks right now, but those soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camps are all ready-made veterans.”

The two men quickly walked out of the command center and headed towards the barracks where the prisoners of war were.

After Gaoda and Li Dakang arrived at the barracks of the prisoner-of-war camp.

They questioned the prisoners in detail and learned the detailed situation of the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.

There were nearly 1600 prisoners of war gathered in the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp, and they were guarded by a squadron of Japanese devils.

The Japanese built the entire prisoner-of-war camp into a solid fortress, surrounding it with high walls.

Around the prisoner-of-war camp, there was a flat area within a range of three or four hundred meters without any obstruction.

Such terrain is extremely unfavorable for the county brigade, because the Japanese devils in the blockhouse can have an excellent view and no movement can escape their eyes.

After understanding the situation, Gundam decided to take over the Aoyama POW camp. The more than 1600 prisoners of war there were all valuable assets and veterans who could fight as soon as they picked up a gun.

Gundam discussed with several people.

He planned to personally lead three infantry companies and an artillery company to attack the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.

The artillery battery will play a vital role in the upcoming battle.

Only the artillery company's cannons could ensure that they destroyed the four sturdy blockhouses set up by the Japanese around them as soon as possible.

This was the key to their successful capture of the Qingshan POW camp.

As night falls, everything is silent.

Gaoda led Li Yunlong and nearly 1000 soldiers from the county brigade and quietly came to a small forest 500 meters outside the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp.

Gundam held a telescope and looked at the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp not far away.

On the four blockhouses in the camp, searchlights were constantly scanning the surrounding darkness.

At other locations on the wall, he could also see machine gun positions set up by the Japanese.

"Old Gao, you see, the defense of Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp is really amazing."

Li Yunlong whispered, "The Japanese actually built four blockhouses and set up machine gun positions on the wall. This battle will be difficult to fight."

"Old Li, don't worry. No matter how well the Japanese bunkers are built, it will be useless. This time I have brought enough cannons. When the time comes, we will blow them to pieces!"
