42 Rescue the Captives

Just now, when Ye Qingshan heard the words of the militia, he had some guesses about the reason why the Japanese left such a small number of troops.

“Captain, we have so many prisoners here?

There weren't many devils there.

Let’s give him a go.”

Black Bear was also moved at this time, and urged Ye Qingshan to speak.

Ye Qingshan was a little hesitant.

Black Bear continued, “Captain, there are hundreds of prisoners in this traitor’s house.

If we rescue them and reorganize them.

This will be a very strong force.

We don’t have to worry about the Japanese soldiers chasing us from behind.

Damn it, I've been running around everywhere these past two days being chased by the Japanese.

I've had enough.

We rescued the captured brothers, and then we set up an ambush and annihilated the Japanese troops that were chasing us."

At this time, Black Bear was extremely angry with the Japanese lieutenant colonel who had been chasing them for the past day and night.

Ye Qingshan nodded slightly to Black Bear's suggestion.

Indeed, Black Bear’s words somewhat moved Ye Qingshan.

He also couldn't just watch hundreds of Kuomintang prisoners of war being held here by the Japanese and do nothing.

If we don't find a way to rescue these prisoners, we will have to wait until the Japanese finish the Battle of Shanghai.

They were all going to be sent to the mines by the Japanese.

Ye Qingshan also knew that if he wanted to fight at this time, he had to act decisively and as quickly as possible.

If you want to leave, you have to leave as soon as possible. Don't hesitate any longer.

Otherwise, the militiamen under the traitorous mayor would notice something unusual.

After all, a militiaman went out and hasn't come back for such a long time.

Even a ghost would know that something has happened.

"Captain, I'll go out and call Xiao Wusheng and the others over.

Then go and find out where the lair of that traitorous mayor is.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

After our people arrive, we will rescue the prisoners."

Black Bear said to Ye Qingshan.

But Ye Qingshan shook his head: "No, it will be too late to call for help."

"What should I do?"

"Let's do it between the two of us."

"what!"

Black Bear didn't expect that Ye Qingshan was even braver than him.

"Go rescue the prisoners first, we need more forces."

Ye Qingshan made a quick decision.

When the militiaman was interrogated, the other party had already truthfully revealed the location where the hundreds of Kuomintang prisoners of war were being held.

There is also a wing where the 32 Japanese soldiers led by the Japanese second lieutenant rest.

He also told everyone the address of the traitorous mayor.

But after thinking for a moment, Ye Qingshan decided to rescue the hundreds of Kuomintang prisoners of war first.

After all, the power of Ye Qingshan and Black Bear was too weak.

It is definitely unrealistic to rely on Ye Qingshan and Black Bear to eliminate half of the Japanese squad.

There are risks in capturing the traitorous mayor.

If their identities were exposed midway, he and Black Bear alone would not be able to withstand the nearly a hundred militiamen under the traitorous mayor.

The only thing to do is to rescue the hundreds of national army prisoners who are being held captive.

By then, even if their identities were exposed, they would not be powerless to fight.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Captain."

Black Bear then also agreed with Ye Qingshan's plan.

Then, Ye Qingshan woke up the militiaman who had been knocked unconscious by him.

"Wake up, get up, we need your cooperation."

A moment later, Ye Qingshan and Hei Xiong followed the militiaman, and the three of them headed towards the front yard where the prisoners were held.

The militiaman also had a look of panic on his face. Ye Qingshan, who was behind him, was pressing his waist with a bayonet.

At this time, the house of this traitorous town mayor had already been divided into three parts.

Part of it was where he and his militia lived, part of it was where the Japanese lived, and the last part was where hundreds of KMT prisoners of war were held.

"Damn it, this traitor mayor's house is so fucking big!

It's a shame to let this traitor live in such a nice house."

Black Bear looked at this ancient mansion and said with emotion.

Ye Qingshan had the same thought at this time. It was not easy for such a beautiful ancient courtyard to be passed down.

If this were placed in later times, it would definitely be a historical monument.

After a while, the militiaman brought Ye Qingshan to a place near the front yard.

At this point, Ye Qingshan clearly saw that the defense had become tighter.

Ye Qingshan saw two Type 99 light machine gun positions in the distance, which were controlled by the Japanese.

The yard where the prisoners were held was surrounded not only by walls but also by barbed wire.

They even built two wooden watchtowers.

But at the outermost edge, the town’s militia were still on guard.

"stop!"

When Ye Qingshan and his companions came over, they were stopped by a militiaman on guard.

Because visibility was poor at night, the militiaman on guard did not forget to hold up a lantern and get closer.

Only then could I see clearly the appearance of the militiaman in front of Ye Qingshan.

"It turned out to be Zheng Hai, I was wondering who it was.

It seems you are not on duty today.

Why are you coming to our place in the middle of the night instead of sleeping in your bed? "

The militiaman on guard said to Zheng Hai with a smile.

At this time, Zheng Hai didn't know what to say to fool the other party, but he felt the bayonet on his waist stabbed hard on the back.

He was so scared that he quickly said, "Ah, I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

"You are a talented person who can't sleep in the middle of the night.

Who are these two people? "

The militiaman on the opposite side also noticed Ye Qingshan and Black Bear at this time.

Holding a lantern, he continued to move closer, trying to see more clearly.

The next second, Ye Qingshan made a move instantly, and with a "swish", a long and thin bayonet was thrown out.

It flew out from the darkness and pierced directly into the chest of the lantern-carrying militiaman.

"you……"

The other person's eyes widened and he slowly fell down.

In the passage behind this militiaman holding a lantern, there were two traitorous militiamen carrying Hanyang-made rifles.

Their companion was suddenly killed, and the two of them were not able to see it at the first time.

They both knew Zheng Hai and knew he was one of them.

So I didn’t care too much.

By the time Ye Qingshan used the bayonet as a dart and killed the traitorous militiaman, his body had already rushed out along with the bayonet.

Wait until the militiaman holding the lantern falls down.

Ye Qingshan just rushed here and casually pulled out the bayonet from the opponent's chest.

He took two steps at a time and rushed to the two militiamen standing behind, carrying Hanyang-made rifles on their backs.

puff!

The crazy bayonet slashed out fiercely.

Two militiamen were taking the Hanyang-type pistols off their shoulders and were hurriedly pulling the bolt to load the bullets.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingshan was too fast and didn’t give them a chance to shoot.

The first blow directly cut the throat of a militiaman.

Then he quickly threw the bayonet in his hand like a dart again.

It stabbed directly and accurately at another militiaman who was also pulling the bolt of his gun on the opposite side.

Three traitorous militiamen died.

It was incredibly fast, taking only two seconds.

The black bear behind him looked at Ye Qingshan, who was as fast as lightning, with envy on his face, and whispered: "When can I achieve the skills of the captain?"

As for the militiaman Zheng Hai in front, who was held down on the shoulder by the black bear, he was also dumbfounded.

Ye Qingshan quickly picked up the lantern on the ground and prevented it from going out.

Otherwise, it would easily alert the Japanese soldiers at the two machine gun positions behind.

In fact, the Japanese did hear some of the noise here.

A little Japanese soldier then shouted to Ye Qingshan: "What's the noise?"

"Nothing, the lantern fell down."

Ye Qingshan replied immediately.

The reply was in Chinese, so the Japanese on the other side couldn't hear it.

But the Japanese mistakenly thought that Ye Qingshan was a militiaman, and he didn't need to hear what Ye Qingshan said.

As long as the Japanese hear that someone is replying here,

He would think they were militiamen on guard and would know that everything was fine, and that would be enough.

The Japanese at the airport position were indeed fooled.

Then he leaned back on the sandbag and began to doze off.

The reason why these devils let their guard down is because there are these traitorous militiamen standing guard for them on the periphery.

They can be lazy.

Ye Qingshan took out a key from the militiaman he had just killed.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were asleep, he went straight to the civilian house in front, opened the door lock, and went in quietly.

Black Bear continued to escort the militiaman Zheng Hai and stand guard outside.

As soon as Ye Qingshan came in, he turned on the flashlight. The flashlight was something Ye Qingshan had seized from the Japanese before.

In an instant, I saw dozens of prisoners lying in the room.

At this time, many of the captives looked up at Ye Qingshan.

They thought that the people who came in were the mayor Yang Changshu's men, who didn't even let them sleep in the middle of the night.

Someone just wanted to complain and curse.

"Shh!"

As a result, Ye Qingshan gestured to them.

Then, he whispered, "Ye Qingshan, the commander of the 88rd Battalion of the 524th Regiment of the th Division, is here to rescue you."

As soon as Ye Qingshan finished speaking, he heard the sound of countless people turning over.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Ye Qingshan at the same time.

"Are you really here to rescue us?"

Some people couldn't believe it.

"Stop talking nonsense, time is urgent.

Who is the leader here?"

Ye Qingshan asked quickly.

He knew that when so many prisoners were locked up together, a leader would usually be chosen.

They are often the people with the highest military rank or the most prestige here.

Soon, an officer in a dirty major's uniform walked up to Ye Qingshan and said, "Major and Battalion Commander of the 17th Division Zhou Xinghai, thank you brothers for coming to rescue us."

"Ah."

Ye Qingshan nodded slightly and continued in a low voice: "Stop being polite.

Now let me tell you about the situation outside. We are still in danger at this moment.

There were more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and traitor militiamen on guard outside, and they all had weapons.

Later, when I go out, I won't lock the door.

I also have to go to other rooms to save other people.

Wait for my gunshot as a signal.

When you hear the gunshots, rush out immediately.

Kill the devils and traitors outside and seize their weapons.

Then we will meet up and fight our way out."

Ye Qingshan quickly told Zhou Xinghai about his plan.
