"There is a devil's reinforced squadron guarding the prisoner-of-war camp. According to the information we have obtained, there are more than 100 captured brothers from various troops held there."
Yang Ling asked, "Is the specific situation inside clear?"
The guerrilla leader replied: "Some of us were arrested and repaired the devil's prisoner-of-war camp. We know something about it. I heard that the barracks on the left are the barracks where the prisoners live, and the barracks on the right are the barracks where the devils live."
"How many exits are there from the POW camp?" Yang Ling asked.
"There is only one exit, and there are two heavy machine guns, and the surrounding area of the camp has been cleared. There are barbed wire interception nets, and the devils have patrols to patrol on time, but we have mastered the law of patrols."
"How far is the nearest devil's stronghold to this prisoner of war camp?" Yang Ling lowered his head and thought for a while before asking.
"About ten miles away, a squadron of devils is stationed. They have military vehicles. Once there is a battle here, they will be able to rush over quickly."
"In this way, you are responsible for destroying the road, intercepting the reinforcements of the laggard devils, and rescuing the captured brothers. Let our Lieyan Special Operations Team be the task." Yang Ling ordered after thinking about it.
There was a squadron of devils guarding the prisoner-of-war camp, but Yang Ling was still confident in rescuing the people, and he sent the guerrillas away because he was worried that they were not trained enough, so he would startle them when they raided the prisoner-of-war camp.

In the dark night, heavy rain poured down, and you couldn't see your fingers. Some low-lying places were filled with muddy water, and groups of earthworms burrowed out of the soil.
Surrounded by icy barbed wire, the devil prisoner-of-war camp was quiet. The beams of searchlights swept through the rain and fog, and swayed back and forth on the empty wasteland around the camp. Wherever the beams of light passed, there was a pale light, and there were no ghosts.
A few devils in raincoats stood on the [-]-meter-high sentry tower, and they were smoking cigarettes to pass the long night.
At this moment, the 13th Division of the Devils is fighting fiercely with the troops of the Sixth War Zone re-established in Yichang. Although it is not a large-scale battle with tens of thousands of people, the small-scale battles have not stopped day and night.
Although Dangyang is considered a new occupied area, after all, it is behind the 13th Division. Even if the Chinese army wants to attack Dangyang, the 13th Division in front will warn.
Moreover, the Battle of Zaoyi has just ended. The two-month battle not only exhausted the devils, but also caused heavy losses to the Chinese army. The Devil's 18th Mixed Brigade stationed in Dangyang does not think that the Chinese army is capable of breaking through the 13th brigade. The division's defense line came to attack Dangyang they occupied.
Therefore, the main task of the Devil's 18th Mixed Brigade stationed in Dangyang is not to guard against the Chinese army, but to support the local famous gentry, hoping to establish a maintenance group as soon as possible to help them stabilize the law and order and rule of this area. It is the task of occupation and defense.
It is precisely because of various reasons that the security of the temporary prisoner-of-war camp where a large number of captured Chinese officers and soldiers are held is not airtight, but tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
After all, if a strengthened squadron is stationed, if the general guerrillas dare to come, they will hit the stone with pebbles, but if the Chinese army wants to come, they must bypass the blockade of the 13th Division.
But what the devil didn't expect was that the Sixth War Zone would send Yang Ling and his experienced troops deep into the enemy's rear to rescue these captured Chinese officers and soldiers.
It was already the middle of the night, except for the heavy pouring rain, there was silence in the world, and even the sentries of those devils got into the barracks to hide from the rain, so there was not even a devil on the periphery of the temporary prisoner-of-war camp.
Only behind the sandbags at the gate of the Devils POW Camp, more than a dozen devils in raincoats are still sticking to their posts, with machine guns mounted on the sandbags.
The trees around the Devils prisoner-of-war camp had been cut down, and only some weeds remained, but it did not affect their vision and shooting range.
At this moment, in this large wilderness with weeds, more than a hundred officers and soldiers of a squadron of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade led by Zhang Tie were crawling in the mud and water, and cautiously moved towards the devil's prisoner-of-war camp.
The sound of heavy rain covered up their careless movement, and the dark night limited the devil's vision, and he did not realize that the danger was gradually approaching.
Yang Ling divided the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade into three teams. One squadron was responsible for the reserve team's cover and evacuation, one squadron was responsible for reaching in from the flanks to rescue people, and the last squadron was responsible for frontal attacks to attract firepower.
At this moment, Zhang Tie and the others were completely soaked, their bodies were covered with woven weeds as a camouflage, and they almost blended into the surrounding environment, but the coldness coming from the abdomen still made them feel a deadly coolness.
The devil's searchlight beam slowly swept across the darkness, except for a large pile of weeds, the devil smoking on the sentry tower didn't find anything.
But when the searchlight left this area, the weeds seemed to come to life, slowly squirming, and approached the barbed wire fence outside the devil's prisoner-of-war camp.
"Crack-"
The sound of cutting the barbed wire was covered by the heavy rain, and soon, more than ten large holes were cut in a place in the blind spot of the devil's vision.
Zhang Tie, the squadron leader of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade, patted the shoulders of the brothers behind him, and then everyone quietly drilled into the camp along the cut gap like a stream of water.
The leaders of the team are all veterans of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, and they have full confidence in this kind of infiltration, because they have trained in this subject before.
And those officers and soldiers who later added to the Lieyan special warfare brigade have also fought in battle, and their psychological quality is excellent. Once they are exposed and discovered by the devils in advance, no one will be able to please them, so they are all extra careful.
The officers and soldiers of the Flame Special Forces Brigade who entered the Devils POW camp along the cut barbed wire walked as close to the base of the building wall as possible, walking in the dark shadows to avoid being illuminated by street lights.
The sound of treading shoes stepping into the muddy water came, Zhang Tiemeng, the squadron leader of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade who was walking in front, stopped his steps, and retracted his body behind the wall.
Under the dim streetlights, a devil patrol team came from a distance with more than a dozen devils wearing raincoats and carrying guns on their backs.
The brothers of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade hid under the corner of a row of houses on the side of the road. Watching the devil getting closer, their breathing became short of breath.
A brother gently raised the muzzle of the flower machine gun in his hand, preparing to strike first if he was discovered.
Perhaps it was the heavy rain and dark night that limited the sight and hearing of the devil patrol team, and the officers and soldiers of the Lie Yan Special Warfare Brigade who were hiding under the wall were so close at hand that they couldn't find it.
It wasn't until the footsteps of the devil patrol team went away that the brothers here breathed a long sigh of relief. The secret passage was very dangerous. After all, this place is still several hundred meters away from the barracks where the prisoners are held in the prisoner-of-war camp.
If it was discovered on the edge of the camp, once the devils stationed inside were discovered, it would inevitably be a fierce battle, which might cause great casualties to those unarmed captured officers and soldiers.
"Split up—"
Seeing that the devil's patrol team had gone far away, Zhang Tie lowered his voice and waved his hands.
The officers and soldiers of the Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade who had sneaked into the prisoner-of-war camp dispersed with their waists bent, and the soldiers of the blasting team placed the military detonators and explosive packs brought in everywhere, and detonated them at critical moments.
Another part of the officers and soldiers, under the leadership of Zhang Tie, went straight to the rows of barracks where the captured officers and soldiers were held according to the information provided by the guerrillas.
"Excuse me!"
The ghost sentries who were wearing raincoats and guarding everywhere were easily cut their throats by the scouts of the Flame Special Operations Brigade who touched them from the left and right sides, and they were knocked down to the ground before they could make a sound. '
"The first, second, third, and fourth teams keep an eye on the devil's barracks. If any devil wants to come out, hit me!" Zhang Tie ordered, pointing in the direction of the devil's barracks.
Dozens of officers and soldiers from the four teams quickly relied on houses and sandbags to build a simple line of defense between the barracks of the captured officers and soldiers and the barracks of the Japanese garrison.
On the other hand, Zhang Tie led people straight to the barracks where the captured officers and soldiers were held. They broke into the room with guns in hand, and suddenly woke up the captured officers and soldiers sleeping inside.
Dozens of captured officers and soldiers were held in a room. They were so crowded that they lay on the wet ground covered with only some straw. Facing the sudden intrusion, they were all terrified.
Zhang Tie turned on the flashlight, and ordered to the awakened captured officers and soldiers: "Everyone, keep quiet, I am sent by Chief Chen of the Sixth War Zone to rescue you, everyone follow my orders and act!"
These captured officers and soldiers have always been very worried. After all, many of them have been pulled out and killed by the devils these days, trying to force them to surrender. They are afraid that the devils will kill them sometime.
Someone broke in in the middle of the night, and they were terrified, thinking that the devil was going to attack them, but who knew it was the person who rescued them, and many people burst into tears of joy.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Everyone, go out quietly and don't make any noise."
Facing the captive brothers crowded in the room, Zhang Tie felt quite uncomfortable seeing their haggard and emaciated faces.
These officers and soldiers were all brothers who were captured by the devils during the Battle of Zaoyi. They used to have poor food, but now that they are captured, their nutrition cannot keep up. Now they are all skinny and almost out of shape.
"Brothers, listen to me, listen to the officer, let's go out first."
