Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

After Xiao Linwen hung up the phone, he immediately ordered his men to collect the Japanese corpses. Just as he was about to go to the prison where the prisoners were held,

"Boom!" There was a loud bang and a huge explosion occurred in the prisoner-of-war camp. The Japanese soldiers only felt that countless fragments were flying in all directions and they had no time to dodge.

The flames rising into the sky were clearly visible even in broad daylight. The ground within a dozen miles around was shaking. Villagers in nearby villages saw the mushroom cloud from the explosion of the prisoner-of-war camp.

Wang Ye, who was returning to the mountain, knew from the increase in his system merit points that the backup plan he had left before leaving had taken effect.

Before Wang Ye left, he buried a large amount of high explosives under the Japanese barracks in the prisoner-of-war camp, and the trigger switch was on the Japanese corpse.

No matter what the situation was in the prisoner-of-war camp, the Japanese invaders who came later would definitely collect their bodies. This way, they could gain merit points without any effort, which was very nice.

At the Huting stronghold, Hashimoto Ryojo was on the phone with his superior, Major General Sasaki, the commander of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade under the First Army of Jin Province.

The Ping'an prisoner-of-war camp was established not long ago, but it played a significant role. Therefore, after the incident in the prisoner-of-war camp, Hashimoto Ryosuke did not dare to report to Taiyuan at all, mainly because he could not take the blame.

"Major General, I just received news that the Ping An Prisoner of War Camp, which was established less than half a year ago, was attacked by the enemy last night. The Imperial Squadron guarding the prisoner of war camp was completely destroyed.

All the prisoners of war have escaped. My warriors are now collecting the bodies. I would like to ask for your guidance, Major General!"

After saying these words, Hashimoto Ryojo's barely supported body finally couldn't hold on any longer and he sat down on the chair, his hand holding the microphone shaking constantly.

The 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was stationed in Heian and several surrounding counties, and they were in charge of the prisoner-of-war camp. Sasaki did not expect to receive such a call early in the morning.

He was silent for a long time before speaking, his voice was a little hoarse, but still full of murderous intent, "Major Hashimoto, is the information you received accurate?

The Ping'an Prisoner of War Camp was established by the Taiyuan Command. It has only been in use for a short time, and you are telling me that it has been breached by the enemy?"

Hashimoto Ryojo's hands trembled as he answered carefully, "Reporting to Major General Sasaki, the news has been confirmed. The problem now is that I still don't know which force is responsible?"

Sasaki said angrily, "Find out who the enemy is right now, and find those prisoners. I will arrange for your superior, the Yantian Battalion, to go there immediately."

"Hey!"

After Hashimoto Ryojo hung up the phone, he immediately called the prisoner-of-war camp, but he couldn't get through after trying for a long time.

"Baga, what is this loser Xiao Linwen doing? How dare he not answer my call? Doesn't he know that time is life?"

Hashimoto Ryosuke thought that the Yantian Battalion would arrive soon, and he was eager to go to the prisoner-of-war camp in person, but he didn't dare.

Because the location of Huting stronghold is too special, it is not only the main transportation route for Ping'an, Pingyang and Qingyuan counties, but also Zhengtai Road is not far away.

If the Huting stronghold was lost, traffic in the entire northwest of Shanxi might be paralyzed, so he didn't dare to leave!

"You must contact the maintenance association near the prisoner-of-war camp immediately. I want to know what happened in the camp and why Xiao Linwen didn't answer my call!"

"Hey!" The Japanese signalman immediately arranged for people to set off.

An hour later, the signalman walked into the office with some fear, "Major, the situation has been clarified!"

Hashimoto Ryojo stood up from behind his desk anxiously, "What's going on?"

"The exact situation of the prisoner-of-war camp is still unclear, but our intelligence personnel within ten miles of the camp heard a huge explosion coming from the direction of the camp.

We also saw a mushroom cloud rising up, with black smoke billowing high. Although our intelligence personnel had rushed over, no one had entered the prisoner-of-war camp so far.

but……!"

"But what?" Hashimoto rushed out from behind the desk, grabbed the Japanese signalman by the collar and roared.

The Japanese signalman panted and said intermittently, "Captain Kobayashi... the team led by Captain Kobayashi may... may have been wiped out!"

Hashimoto Ryojo slapped the signalman away, walked to the wall, picked up his command knife, and cut a hole in the desk with one stroke.

"Bagayalu, Xiao Linwen is such an idiot, couldn't he be more careful when saving people?

Immediately send our intelligence personnel into the prisoner-of-war camp. I want to know the specific losses!"

"Hey!" The signalman limped out of the office door slowly and then carefully closed it.

The Yantian Battalion is one of the four battalions of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade. They suffered heavy casualties in the previous campaign against the Eighth Route Army base, so they have been resting since they withdrew.

After receiving Sasaki's call, Captain Yantian immediately led more than 1000 Japanese soldiers who had just been replenished and headed towards the Huting stronghold.

At 6 p.m., when it was almost dark, the Yantian Brigade finally arrived at the Huting stronghold. Hashimoto Ryojo stood at the gate of the stronghold to personally greet his immediate superior.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Shiota!"

Shiota looked at Hashimoto with disdain. How could such a loser be promoted to major? There must be someone above him who could help him get promoted.

"Have you figured out the specific situation in the prisoner-of-war camp?" Shiota came to the office and sat in Hashimoto's usual seat without hesitation, and asked casually.

In Yantian's opinion, after the encirclement and suppression in the past period of time, the Eighth Route Army should now be hiding in some mountain valley to lick its wounds, so he had already set his sights on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. After all, most of the prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp were from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Unfortunately, Hashimoto gave him a different answer. "Shiota-kun, I received a message from Yamashita-kun, the captain of the Heian County garrison squadron, this afternoon.

He captured some prisoners who had escaped from the camp. According to their dying confessions, the troops that attacked the camp were a group called the Children's Corps.

The leader was a boy in his teens, about 130 centimeters tall, about the same height as our Type rifles! "

"Ha, Hashimoto-kun, are you kidding me? What the hell is this children's group? Although I have never been to a prisoner-of-war camp, I know that this camp is equipped with very high standards.

The garrison squadron alone had more than 200 people, and the surrounding defenses were very tight, with trenches, turrets, and military dogs.

Now tell me, which children's group attacked the prisoner-of-war camp and took the prisoners away?

Do you think I will believe it? Or is the combat effectiveness of the imperial soldiers so low now?"

Yantian looked at Hashimoto Ryojo with uncontrollable anger, cursing continuously.

Hashimoto lowered his head and dared not say a word. It was not until Shiota was tired of scolding him that he said carefully, "According to Yamashita-kun's information, I scouted the area around the prisoner-of-war camp and indeed found traces of the large army leaving!"
