A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

After arriving near the mining area, the soldiers were all filled with righteous indignation and ready to fight, and they were all a little impatient.

It was already late at night, but many places in the mine were still brightly lit.

The sound of work could still be heard from many places.

Zheng Kaixuan climbed to a high ground, picked up a telescope and looked around, but couldn't help frowning.

He knew that the mining area was very large and was mentally prepared, but imagining it was one thing and seeing it with one's own eyes was another.

When he actually came here and was there in person, he couldn't help but gasp.

Big! Absolutely huge.

Even with a telescope, you can't see the end.

What does more than 100 square kilometers mean? To give a simple example, even a perfectly square area can have a length and width of more than 10 kilometers each.

This battle is extremely difficult.

Unlike some smaller strongholds, it is very difficult to find the Japanese’s garrison and headquarters here!

Moreover, the mine was full of ragged miners working with wheelbarrows, which was something Zheng Kaixuan had not expected.

Who could have imagined that in the dead of night, braving the biting cold wind, so many miners could not get any rest? They were still forced to work desperately by the Japanese?

Indiscriminate artillery fire simply won't work here.

One reason is that the area is too large and the ammunition is limited.

Second, there are miners everywhere, and there is a high possibility of accidentally injuring innocent compatriots.

But no matter how difficult it is, this battle must be fought.

The spearhead regiment is never afraid of difficulties, the more difficult it is, the more they move forward.

If you encounter difficulties, you must find ways to solve them.

Now or never.

They may only have a few hours. Once the Japanese react and learn of their movements, this great opportunity will be wasted.

"Old Song, immediately organize a reconnaissance mission to find the enemy's barracks and command post."

The important task of reconnaissance once again fell on Song Pengcheng's Fifth Battalion.

After all, professional matters should be left to professionals, and no one else can do this job.

"Brother Xizi, you and the brothers wait here, I will go there myself."

In order to ensure that the reconnaissance operation is foolproof, Zheng Kaixuan decided to go with Song Pengcheng and the Fifth Battalion.

"Captain, I'll go with you."

Also accompanying him were the guard company commander Niu Dashan and several soldiers from the guard company.

Wang Xikui took the rest of the soldiers and put bits on all the war horses to prevent them from neighing in the middle of the night and disturbing the Japanese. Then they found a low-lying area, hid all the horses, and waited quietly for news from Zheng Kaixuan.

You don’t know until you investigate. When Zheng Kaixuan investigated, he was shocked again.

It turns out that the protection of the Jingxing mining area is extremely strict, and there are many protective measures.

Such a large mining area is surrounded by tall walls.

Zheng Kaixuan estimated that the wall was at least four meters high, if not five! Furthermore, the tops of the walls were covered in dense electric grids.

Outside the wall is a wide trench, and outside the trench is a barbed wire wall.

Outside the barbed wire, there are trenches and barbed wire!

There is a total of one wall, two barbed wire fences, and three trenches!

This kind of security is ridiculously dense! It's even more strict than many prisons.

Although he was surprised, Zheng Kaixuan didn't take it too seriously.

These things can stop others, but they definitely can't stop his sharp knife group.

No matter how many walls and barbed wires you have, they are nothing in the face of artillery fire. Just blast them open with artillery.

Cannons are the eternal truth.

The main issue they have to consider now is where the Japanese are stationed and where to find the Japanese barracks, and that's where they will break through!

Zheng Kaixuan and Song Pengcheng led the soldiers of the fifth battalion and walked for more than two kilometers.

Sometimes they went into the trenches and listened quietly to the movements inside the wall, and sometimes they found some high slopes and high ground to observe carefully through telescopes.

"Captain, there's a place ahead with particularly bright lights. Many people in military uniforms are constantly coming in and out of that area. I think that must be the Japanese barracks."

Song Pengcheng ran to Zheng Kaixuan to report.

"Take me to see it."

Zheng Kaixuan walked forward for a distance and looked at the place where Song Pengcheng pointed with a telescope.

After a while, Zheng Kaixuan nodded.

"Yes, this should be a barracks, but the puppet troops here seem to be more numerous than the Japanese."

In any case, a Japanese stronghold was found, and Zheng Kaixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Notify Deputy Captain Wang immediately and have all the brothers come over. We'll use this as a breakthrough point and charge into the mine."

"Yes."

Just as the guard agreed and was about to go back to inform Wang Xikui, a burst of shouting suddenly came from more than a hundred meters ahead of Zheng Kaixuan and others.

"You, stop and work."

"Stop, if you run again the locust army will shoot—"

"Bakayaloo, stop!"
