The prisoner of war camp built by the Japanese was one kilometer north of Yang Village, close to the main road. Yang Village was a relatively large town, and many passing merchants would stop here to rest.
It was already 3 PM when Li Yun Long led the 300 soldiers of the 1st Battalion to the camp.
In a small forest about 500 meters behind the prisoner of war camp, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were hiding. Li Yunlong carefully observed the situation in the prisoner of war camp with his binoculars.
The prisoner of war camp was a very large courtyard, surrounded by a wall. The wall was very high, more than three meters high. There was also an electric wire fence on the wall. There were also two sentry posts on the wall. Each sentry post was guarded by three fully armed Japanese, equipped with light machine guns.
The prisoner-of-war camp was surrounded by flat ground, and the field of vision was very wide. It was especially suitable for heavy weapons like machine guns to unleash their power.
At the entrance of the camp, there were two machine gun positions, each with a Type 92 heavy machine gun and two crooked light machine guns. More than 20 Japanese were patrolling outside the wall, but they were all wearing ordinary military uniforms. They couldn't see the Yamamoto Special Forces, so they should be hiding inside.
Other than the Japanese soldiers, there were also puppet troops on duty at the gate of the prisoner of war camp. There were about twenty of them, but they all looked weak and listless. They were just there to make up the numbers. A little further away from the door was the enemy camp. There were dozens of Japanese soldiers training inside, and more than a dozen puppet soldiers followed suit. They were completely perfunctory.
"Regiment commander, this camp is heavily guarded and has strong firepower. It's too difficult to attack.”Zhang Dabiao said helplessly after observing the camp from afar.
"Yes, I am!"
Li Yunlong sighed. If the few machine guns in the prisoner of war camp were not dropped, they would not be able to break through. It would take a lot of lives to reach the gate from hundreds of meters away. Moreover, the wall was high and thick, and there was barbed wire. It was impossible to get in. He had only brought some small-caliber mortars with him this time. It was unrealistic to blow up a path with artillery fire.
Moreover, the devils in the prisoner of war camp would act against the prisoners in desperation. No one wanted to see that result. Li Yunlong also wanted to recruit some of the prisoners to supplement his own independent regiment.
If they couldn't attack forcefully, they could only use their wits.
Wu Feng, who was good at using flying needles, was appointed as the squad leader of the reconnaissance squad. Li Yunlong had sent him to scout for information in advance.
"Reporting to Guild Leader, we've found out. The food in the prisoner of war camp was contracted out. The food that was delivered to the prisoner of war camp every day was from the Jin Manlou restaurant in Yang Village. The owner of the Jin Manlou restaurant had a Japanese background. The waiters in the restaurant were all traitors, and the manager was also a big traitor. Every morning at eight o'clock and afternoon at five o'clock, there would be a carriage with food delivered over. Since it was a restaurant owned by the Japanese, the devils in the prisoner of war camp would not check it much.”Wu Feng, who had just run back and was panting, reported the situation to Li Yunlong loudly.
"Alright, bring a few brothers to rob the Golden ManLou Hotel's carriage and leave one or two alive to dispel the enemy's suspicions. Then, he tampered with the food." Li Yunlong immediately had an idea.
"Yes, sir!"
However, this was not enough. He had to find another way to lure the Japanese soldiers down.
As he was thinking, Ma Jian, the Third Platoon Leader of the First Company of the First Battalion, walked towards Li Yun Long.
Ma Jian was a company commander who had joined the puppet army like Sun Desheng. Li Yunlong had arranged for him to be a platoon leader in the first battalion, and his performance was very good.
"Regiment commander, the commander of the puppet army in the prisoner of war camp was my best friend in the past. The soldiers under him were all my old brothers. None of them are willing to work for the Japanese. I'm confident that I can persuade them to revolt.”
"Good!" Li Yunlong was overjoyed." But, not all the puppet soldiers are your old brothers. It will be troublesome if someone wants to tell on you."”
"No, Guild Leader. The puppet army on the other side was a company of about a hundred people. Other than a few unfamiliar faces, the rest could be called out. I saved their lives. During the war in the Central Plains, they were surrounded by layers of enemies. It was me who led people to open a gap and save them.”
"Captain, I promise I will succeed."”
Li Yunlong stared at him for a while and said after thinking for a while,""I agree. However, you have to pay attention to your safety. Go back first. I still have to think about the specific plan.”
